Perris Records has been in business for over 25 years.

The official worldwide release for the Helix "Scrap Metal" CD is January 23rd, 2026. This will be the 14th Helix release on Perris Records. Helix just finished touring with Nazareth supporting the "Bending The Rules" tour, Nazareth’s farewell tour in Canada. The "Scrap Metal" release features 5 unreleased tracks that retain the "classic" 80's Helix sound. The remaining 5 tracks are a collection of classic Helix songs from other releases such as "Old School", "half - Alive" & "B-Sides. The first single "Stuck In The 80s" features Sean Kelly (Gilby Clarke, Coney Hatch, Lee Aaron) on guitar. Most iconic 80's bands only tour on their back catalog NOT Helix, they continually record new music staying true to their 80s rock roots and maintaining a legendary status.

    Tom Mathers President of Perris Records has had a long time relationship with the band Helix. Vocalist Brian Vollmer recorded lead vocals on all the tracks for Tom Mathers band Cherry St. "Buster Cherry" CD, along with Jason McMaster (Dangerous Toys) on backup vocals in 1999. Since then, Perris Records has worked with vocalist Brian Vollmer to take Helix to the next level to become the number one best seller in the label's history.

Since 1984, Frédéric Slama has released 28 albums under his name or the AOR name featuring the greatest musicians and singers of Westcoast music & Melodic Rock. After a great success in 2025 with the release of the 1st album from his new band “Blue Ambition”, Frédéric is back with Robbie LaBlanc & Tommy Denander for a second album entitled “The Scarlet Touch”.

After “Seduction Of The Innocent” that took you back to the 80’s, you’ll be caught again in a world of cool melodies and arrangements with Melodic Rock songs with a Westcoast touch and a Progressive Rock influence, performed by Blue Ambition, a power trio of fine musicians. Keeping the Retro Futuristic concept of the 1st album “Seduction Of The Innocent”, this new CD will bring you back memories of the good old times from the Classic Rock era. Once again Robbie LaBlanc’s vocals are very influenced by Lou Gramm and his voice shines throughout the album. The music of “The Scarlet Touch” is influenced by bands like Foreigner, Journey & Asia, and should not disappoint fans of the genre. So don’t miss Blue Ambition’s new album “The Scarlet Touch” that should confirm that there’s not just another Melodic Rock band in town. So get ready for more catchy hooks, fantastic guitar solos and vocals out of this world.
