Deinòs

Right Ascension by Alberto Ragone Deinòs was formed in 2020 by the guitarist and leader Alberto Ragone, previously known for his writing in Berith’s Legion and Psychotria, bands of the extreme North-Italian metal scene. The band debuted with the album Right Ascension, with Giacomo Mineo (Antikythera Mechanism) and Jei Doublerice (Despite Exile) as session vocalists,…

Rivers of Nihil

The Work with Adam Biggs ‘The Work’ is the big conclusion to our four-album concept series based on the seasons. It’s the ‘winter’ record if you couldn’t tell just by looking at the art, and the whole thing represents the season to its very core. It’s cold and bitter and unforgiving, a painful struggle at…

Rebellion

We Are the People by Fabrizio Costantino The band was formed in 2001 as a heretical spin-off of Grave Digger. Typical of Rebellion is that every album is a kind of concept album. There is always an overarching topic that is dealt with in a well-founded way. Whether that’s Norse mythology or Shakespeare, nerds worldwide…

Hammer King

Hammer King with Titan Fox V I believe that creating new music is natural for us. As you may know, we live in the kingdom of the Hammer King, who is a very fierce ruler. As we owe him our lives, we can’t escape his ever-present demand for new songs, and therefore we feel the…

Anakim

The Elysian Void by Anakim Hailing from the South of England, the five band members each have over a decade’s experience in the metal scene. Past and present affiliations include; The Drowning, Basement Torture Killings, Bloodshot Dawn, and Imperium, to name just a few. Having just released our second album, ‘The Elysian Void’, on July…

Atræ Bilis

Apexapien with David Stepanavicius Our new record Apexapien 2021 is out now through 20 Buck Spin. It’s our first full-length album, and we’d like to think that it picks up where the standards of death metal started to get lazy. That is, we’ve tried to take the helm and recourse. Critics typically lump us in…

Vulture

Dealin’ Death with Stefan Castevet Since we’re living far apart from each other, we’re working out our ideas from home. We tab stuff or record ideas and then discuss everything altogether. That also worked out pretty well this time. Part of the songs was written on tour with ram back in 2019. There, we could…

Rage

Resurrection Day with Peter ‘Peavy’ Wagner Our new Album ‘Resurrection Day’ was released in September and developed into a real success. It´s highly liked by Fans and Media, bringing us our best chart positions so far. It was the first work with my new guitar players, Jean Borman and Stefan Weber. Both guys supported me…

Crypta

Echoes Of The Soul with Tainá Echoes of the Soul 2021 is a very diverse album, it covers influences different from death metal influences from different origins of the style, which made us deliver a non-repetitive album. The songwriting process was all at a distance due to the pandemic and the pre-production. We went into…

Deformatory

Inversion of the Unseen Horizon with Charlie Leduc Deformatory is a death metal band from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Forming in 2010, they set out to create an extreme sound, fusing together classic influences (Cryptopsy, Morbid Angel, Suffocation, etc.) and their love for modern tech death. The result is a uniquely relentless blend of death metal…

Leila Abdul-Rauf

Phantasiai with ​​Leila Abdul-Rauf ‘Phantasiai’ is my fourth solo record, and once I came up with the concept, the music came together fairly quickly. Unlike my first three albums, the concept, name and cover image came into being before any music. In general, my solo writing process begins with laying down two or three initial…

Light The Torch

You will be the Death of me with Francesco Artusato I was born and raised in Italy. I moved to America to study at Berklee College of Music, where I graduated in Film Scoring. I moved to Los Angeles in 2007, and I started playing with different bands. I joined and played with All Shall…

Eternity’s End

Embers Of War with Christian Muenzner Embers Of War is our third album and, in my opinion, the album where we truly cemented our unique style. It is a little bit closer to classic 80s German, US speed and heavy metal than the first two albums, and we completely dialled back the more symphonic elements…

Thief

The 16 Deaths of My Master with Dylan Neal ‘The 16 Deaths of My Master’ was written between 2019-2021. It’s gloomy, menacing and haunting and primarily is written around sampled choral/sacred chants from across the world and electronic hardware. I write everything myself, so the creative process is 99% me in my studio with my…

The Crown

Royal Destroyer with Marko Tervonen  It’s a natural progression from the previous album Cobra Speed Venom. It has that same intensity and aggression but in a better and more luxurious package. This lineup has started to grow together, and you can tell that in the structure and feel of the songs. When you feel tight…

Knife

Knife with Vince Nihil The band was founded in 2019 by Laz and Vince Nihil after their other band went on hiatus in mid-2019. Following a clear vision, the first songs were created soon. Ferli Coltello joined the band on drums and as a producer during the first writing process. Rook joined the band soon…

Scar of the Sun

Inertia with Terry Nikas The new record was created quite different from our first two. While the first two resulted from a more collective process, the new was composed mainly by our guitarist Greg, who composed 10 out of 11 songs. He was on fire, so we decided to go with the flow and work…

Lord 

Undercovers Vol. 1 with Andy Dowling The latest major release is ‘Undercovers’ Vol.1, released in April 2021. It comprises a large collection of covers from our career to date and some newer recordings. The album was led by the single release of ‘To the Moon and Back’, our cover of the Savage Garden classic. Coming…

Feuerschwanz

Memento Mori with Hauptmann Feuerschwanz Memento Mori 2021 was created during the lockdown in winter 2020/2021. The overall mood in Germany at that time was pretty bad; that’s why we wrote many battle songs. The whole album is a battle cry against the global pandemic. Within the band, there are small creative groups that work…
