**Coldspell Amongst Top Rock Releases of 2009**
 

Rockrealms awarded Infinite Stargaze with Best HEAVY, HARD & MELODIC ROCK ALBUM of 2009
http://www.rockrealms.com/awards/2009awards/albumhard.php 

WINNER: Coldspell - 'Infinite Stargaze'

This album harks back to the way albums used to be made. No breaks in continuity for a commercial track,
no bullsh*t. There isn't a duff song from start to finish, it makes the Hammond organ relevant again,
and I'll be playing this for years to come.

2. Plankton - Ocean Tales

"When I first heard the demo tracks from Coldspell in 2008, I about crapped myself. I couldn’t wait to hear Coldspell’s debut CD.  I have played this CD over and over again in 2009, and will continue to do so for years to come.  This is melodic rock at its finest."

ROB MORATTI JOINS SAGA:
Saga have their new vocalist!! Escape Music are pleased to announce that Vocalist
Rob Moratti of Canadian AOR group Final Frontier (and a Solo artist) has been picked to take up where Michael Sadler left off. And here are the comments when Andrew McNiece talked to Rob Moratti by asking Rob to comment on the new role for me.
Rob was happy to oblige:
"I'm so excited about it Andrew, it just became official news last Monday but nothing was posted and so I kept it hush until we were ready. I heard about the audition on Q107 but I thought to myself, what are the chances and so I let it go. Then a friend of mine mentioned it to me for the second time and something then told me that I've got to do this. So I had emailed Ian Crichton regarding the auditions
and he told me that they're still searching. I had given Ian my profile on MySpace to check out. Shortly after, I get an email from Ian Crichton with some positive interest. They narrowed it down to 5 vocalists for the live audition and I was the first one up. It was a very comfortable atmosphere coz' all the band members are great guys and you feel that as soon as you enter the studio. I performed 5 songs with Saga. Things were then feeling very positive but nothing was official yet. So they later asked me to record a few tracks before finalizing. I did 5 songs for Saga and that finally closed the deal. It's amazing how things work out...I'm like a kid in candy store right about now!"
Thanks Rob and good luck mate. Stay tuned for further updates. Rob at this moment is finishing his new solo album for Escape Music
