The staff at MTR reviews CD’s and releases for you.
Old friend of the show Frank Palangi releases new video Gone Mad and creates world-wide buzz. Watch video below.
The Single “Gone Mad” off the Self Produced Hard Heavy, Gritty Rock follow up EP titled “Bring on The Fear” from Recording Artist Frank Palangi. The homegrown indie rock singer, guitarist and musician who can do anythin and everythin he sets his mind to has the type of personality that doesn’t give up; whatever it takes, whoever long it takes.
Some describe Frank’s music as the next evolution of 80’s and 90’s rock/metal combined with post grunge. Frank fuels a refreshing positive outlook serving up a feeding frenzy of edgy heavy guitars, deep n gritty vocals.
Frank Palangi Produced – Mixed by Frank Palangi Mastered – Robert Venable Drums – Lester Estelle, Brandon Maclin, Allen Benatar Guitars – Frank Palangi – Brian Craddock – Rob Hungerford Bass – Frank Palangi – Bo Hyde Synth – Frank Palangi Recorded at Palangi Studios in Upstate NY, The Cat Room Recording Studios in TN, Off the Walls Studios in TN, Brandon Maclin Studios in MD, and Allen Benator Studios in CA.
After my 2017 “SET ME FREE EP” I was doing a lot of shows/opening slots and getting into more of the recording side which lead me to a year and half experience with producing,mixing and writing the 4th installment. I progressed and learned so much through that time through books, videos and interviews about mixing and with upgraded my home studio equipment. The songs I always knew would be apart of the same CD double EP had to be similar but still new and exciting vs I Am Ready CD (2013). I teamed up with few of my favorites to work with from Lester Estelle (Kelly Clarkson) – Brian Craddock and Brandon Maclin from Daughtry for some studio work. I had self produced a single or two before but always working with producers and mixers on my main EP”s, this really made me step up and think about the whole process a lot more. This is more gritty and heavier than the “I AM Ready” release. No reason for it, just led me in that direction with the love of heavy rock. With my wide variety of influences, I did somethin more constant which may not be always the cause for the future.

Enrage planned on releasing a full length album in the Summer of 2020 but the Covid-19 pandemic has delayed those plans. While in quarantine, the band decided to finish mixing two of the songs, that were set for that album, and release them as an EP for everyone to hear during this tough time.
“We hope this EP will entertain all those on the front lines aiding people during the Coronavirus outbreak, as well as anyone just going stir crazy at home…. W.A.S.P.’s “I Wanna Be Somebody” inspired me when I was growing up and I think it’s time to get that song back out there for people to hear now. While the new track, “All Right” is about spreading positivity during this negative time.” states Jeff Enrage, lead vocalist and founding member.
The drums on “I Wanna Be Somebody” were recorded by Jerry Farley (Sick of It All, Candiria, Every Time I Die) at Nova Studios, Staten Island, NY. The songs were mixed and mastered by Mike Pelle (Alan Goldsher, Black Helicopters) at Big Goiter Studios, Staten Island, NY.
