Demonic summonings, battles between good and evil, a cup which runneth over with hotties…The Jezebeth franchise has it all. It's a feature film, musical experience, and potential television series. And if you're going to be in the Chicago area on September 10, you could be part of the action.
With the last remaining scene being staged in a vampire bar, the producers of the "Jezebeth" TV pilot are calling out to anyone who would like to be an extra. Visit this Facebook page specifically set up to find extras to get all the details on how to join in the fun.
Created by Damien Dante with co-producer Jeffrey A. Swanson, Jezebeth began as a feature film based on a devil worshiping sadist named Jezebeth Blandy. Dante and Swanson have a six-figure deal with the Phoenix Group to shoot three films and the TV pilot.
The initial small screen offering (the episode is entitled "Abigail" and named for a nine-year-old vampire featured in the show) is a spin-off from the film. Heather Beeman stars in the title role, leading a very colorful (mostly red) cast of characters. The majority of the filming was done in a badass looking Victorian style mansion in Richmond, Virginia, which suits the action onscreen very well.
For more on the Jezebeth film, and anything else the producers can come up with to feature the lovely Jezebeth, check out the official Jezebeth Facebook page.

Jezebeth Movie To Feature Song From Original Scorpions Drummer Herman Rarebell


The vampire horror film “Jezebeth” is in its final stages of production and will now feature the song “Your Love Is Hurting” by platinum recording artist Herman Rarebell. “This movie is loaded with great music but this really adds a whole new dimension to the film” quotes Jeffrey A Swanson one of the executive producers and the music supervisor for the film. “I am honored to have the original drummer for the Scorpions Herman Ze German Rarebell included in our movie and on the soundtrack” replies Damien Dante Director, writer and producer of the film Jezebeth. Herman penned the lyrics for some of the most classic songs of the Scorpions entire history, including Rock You Like a Hurricane, Make It Real, Dynamite, Blackout, Arizona, Bad Boys Running Wild, Don’t Stop At the Top and Tease Me Please Me among countless others. “Your Love Is Hurting” could very well be another platinum song for Herman Rarebell but for us it was just the perfect song for a particular scene in the movie Jezebeth, and for that we are very elated. The movie will be available worldwide in 2011 and stars Bree Michaels as Jezebeth.

Dark Star Records recording artist, GRIGORI 3, is headed back into the studio to record thier follow up album to 'Exile' entitled, 'ON YOUR SIX'.


GRIGORI 3 is prepared to prove they too can have a strong sophomore release. 'Exile' broke the band out of Chicago and the stigma associated with underground music, when both underground and mainstream radio and press alike embraced it. I think listeners will find 'ON YOUR SIX' has a darker edge to it and is a bit more in your face then 'Exile' states singer Gwen Bartolini. The band has returned to the Studio to Chicagoland's area favortie studio- Sonic Palace Music Studio.


********************************

Overview


October 2010 update


As you may recall the band did alot of the preliminary recording on their own for the first album 'Exile' from the band's home studio. We used Protools Le, and recorded some great raw tracks, then we went to engineering guru Mike Brezen at Outer Planet for mixing and mastering.


The second album was not so cut and dry. The band ran into to some unavoidable recording hold ups on our own this time, so we needed to make a decison to get back on track. We were excited to get into Sonic Palace Music Studios. Since the decision in October the band has continued work in the studio.We had worked with Matt  ( Sonic Palace) on the recent 'Jezebeth' Soundtrack  and were quite impressed with his skills. Matt made time to fit us in around his schedule and really listened to us and get some great raw tracks- so we can't wait to see what kind of magic he will work on the new album. 


Day 1- We met up a G3 Headquarters for  caravan of sorts.


In the studio  we began  laying down scratch tracks ,  ( fyi-scratch tracks a recording tracks of the band playing the songs live as a whole to reference during the recording process.)



 

First up Ivan- Drums
We ran into some initial issues but things straightened out and Ivan recorded some strong tracks . ( Our buddy Byrdie came by for some video footage on the band--fyi- Byrdie is known around the Chicago circuit for his videos cult classic videos Pyschotic Features and a new documentaries from Chicago bands including the Chicago based bands No One and N.D.X. ) We are happy to report --it went smooth not too much drama ( thankfully) so basically the footage contians Ivan looking studious and Ray, Mike and Gwen making faces at the camera with Head phones on.


Second up -Bass
Mike tore through his tracks with ease over a few days time laying down a solid foundation.





Third up -Guitars
Ray began laying down rhythms and leads ( even a few solos for this album:)



Ray R Wise

December / January 2011 update-
Ray finishes guitar tracks and preps keys while Gwen begins vocal pre-production.


Early Spring 2011 -Gwen lays vocal tracks and Ray polishes keys


Late Spring 2011- Mixing  begins and album prep begins


Summer 2011-Mixdown continues and album preperation continues
( band preps for new 'ON YOUR SIX' videos)

GRIGORI -(gri gore E) 3The name relates to a race of fallen angels and three the number of completion.

The concept of live and let live died for the female fronted Metal Industrial artists GRIGORI 3, who have showed absolutely no mercy since their emergence in the Chicago scene. GRIGORI 3 has been enchanting audiences with some of the most powerful mind crunching music in the country.

The band credits its strength to its ability to blend the diverse influences each member brings to their sound. Where other groups simply write songs, GRIGORI 3 composes and then delivers intensely melodic yet energetic riffs and melodies, encapsulated in a show often described as amazing.

The band has crossed over into club rotation as well and featured at various clubs nationwide including Chicago's own-Double Door, ElboRoom, Oasis 160, Indianapolis' Emerson Theatre, Madison's Club Inferno and Philadelphia's favorites The Ceremony and Antiquity. GRIGORI 3 was added to vast number of radio and college/internet stations worldwide online and then began receiving airplay on Chicago's FAVORITES REBEL RADIO AND Q101 before breaking out of the Midwest local scene and hitting the mainstream. 

GRIGORI 3 recently streamlined their live lineup and is in the process of following up their debut independent album ‘EXILE’ which premiered the club hit single "Awakening", The song helped the band gain industry radio and film attention worldwide .The upcoming release ‘ON YOUR SIX’ is slated to hit the streets in the fall of 2011 and will be available worldwide through Dark Star Records via Ioda. The album will contain some brand new GRIGORI 3 music as well as some established favorites and a few tracks will be featured in the Satania 6 Film “JEZEBETH”.
