CUMBRIA, ENGLAND, September 25, 2012 (Press-News.org) Musik and Film signs Cumbria England's progressive rock duo, Gandalf's Fist to exclusive worldwide distribution with the release of their new album,"From A Point of Existence".

"From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king." -- J.R.R. Tolkien

Across the rolling, Tolkienesque hills of Cumbria, England the bass heavy melodic crawl of progressive rocks, "Gandalf's Fist" carries from its Middle Earth origins to middle America on the winds of Musik and Film's new distribution campaign. Described by the band as, "The Hobbit meets Blade Runner", the new album, "From A Point of Existence" continues to blend traditional Progressive Rock elements with pluckings of Folk shenanigans and pinches of psychedelic dust borrowed from Floyd. "Progressive rock is a genre that most might think is old hack and based in the 1970's, but we've taken the elements of that early scene and mixed it with long tempo changing solo's and folk inspired sea shanties to create something that's unique", says Luke Severn. Severn, who along with Dean Marsh make up "Gandalf's Fist" is anything but hard lined or hard edged when it comes to his creative process and the inspirations that lead to the bands musical outings.

Formed in 2005, "Gandalf's Fist" was a meeting of the minds between two self-proclaimed "geeks" and Tolkienites. "We're geeks, don't get us wrong, but normal, well-rounded geeks, who like the sunshine and football and girls." qualifies Severn in a recent press interview with Progressive Rock Magazine. Dean Marsh is an adroit multi-instrumentalist who when joined with Luke Severns ethereal, shale vocals create more than songs, but entire scenescapes full of story, emotion, adventure and journey. This duo forges a unique voice, mesmerizing the listener and creating a space of awareness that becomes almost addictive in nature as you press play and repeat over again and again.

The medieval-space-rock-odyssey that is the new album, "From A Point of Existence" is the band's latest offering to its increasing fan base. Set in the near future it is a Psychedelic Rollercoaster, following the story of William, a lowly ice cream van operator, who inexplicably becomes embroiled in the heist of the personal wealth of the draconian business-magnate Sir Jason Drake.

The duo draw musical inspiration from bands they admire like Camel, Caravan, Blackfield, Riverside, Crippled Black Phoenix, Astra, or bands who have influenced them such as Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree and Dream Theater. " A lot of people say they can hear the influence of the heavy hitters of Progressive rock in our music but to be honest I'm influenced a lot more by bands that tumble along in a world of their own and create beautiful melancholic songs," explains Dean. "It's all about freedom. There's no 'rule book' for Progressive rock."

And there's no rule book for the great adventure that "Gandalf's Fist" has embarked upon. With the team at Musik and Film leading the way the future looks as bright as the colors of the psychedelic artwork swirling the cover of the new CD.

"Still round the corner there may wait, A new road or a secret gate." - J.R.R. Tolkien

Florida Drivers Get Hundreds of Thousands of Speeding Tickets

2012-09-25
Is there something about Florida that the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) issued 317,936 speeding citations in 2010? According to FHP statistics, that number was a little less than the number in 2009 (which was 321,777). And this doesn't count the number of speeding tickets handed out by other police agencies in Florida. Naturally, a two-year average of more than 300,000 tickets just for speeding makes one wonder whether Florida drivers simply have more of a need for speed than drivers in other states. But is that true? How do other places stack up? And is it truly a ...
