Shield Of Wings with James Gregor ‘Shield Of Wings’ return to life after their sweepingly vast EP, 2011’s Solarium.They will begin 2022 with their Epic Symphonic Metal resurrection and their debut full-length album, Unfinished. Sure to appeal to fans of symphonic metal giants Nightwish and Epica and film score composers like Hans Zimmer, James Horner,…
Upheaval with Apostolis “Yage” Karydis I (Apostolis) joined the band during the writing process of Upheaval, so my involvement in the writing and recording process was something that influenced the outcome. Also, having the experience from the previous album helped refine some of the processes this time around. Since we all have some sort of…
Gate To Oblivion by Age of Athena Age of Athena is made up of Helen Illumina (Vocals), Zachary Sabean (Guitar & Vocals), Nathan Gross (Keyboards), and Michael Johnson (Drums). Together they blend their influences of American metalcore and European symphonic metal, combining the best that both genres offer. Nathan and I wrote most of the…
The Ronin with Bushido Code ‘The Ronin’ is a record we are super proud of. It’s an album that we really felt we hit out of the park when it was done. As far as the creative process, Derrick Voricci (guitars) writes the bulk of the riffs, and then we cut the song out of…
Into The Nothing with Wretched Tongues Wretched Tongues is a five-piece Deathcore outfit from the Northeastern United States. Adding influences of Technicality and Melody with gut-wrenching vocals and breakdowns, Wretched Tongues is here to stay. Working as a band is so fluent for us all. We all share very similar opinions on lyrical content, musical…
Mountain Fever by Davidavi Dolev ‘Mountain Fever’ is by far our most colourful work yet. As such, we demanded the deepest pre-production process we have ever gone through; we wanted to share with the world all of the flavours of who we are as musicians and all of the spices of our geographical region. This…
To the Power of Eight with Stefan Schmidt “To the Power of Eight” is Van Canto’s 8. Album, this time we recorded with 8 musicians! Van Canto does not want to repeat too much when recording 2 albums. Each of our albums has a different mix, a different artwork, a different approach. This time, we…
Supreme and True at Night with Besatt We have been working on the album (with breaks) for almost four years. We had several tours for which we also had to prepare during this time. So the writing process itself wasn’t as long as it might seem, but we’ve changed the way we create new songs…
Blackened Sky by Rioghan The current situation with covid didn’t affect our work at all. We did most of the writing before the pandemic hit, and it took a while before it came to Finland, so we were “spared” during this particular process. Of course, live shows are non-existent right now, but that didn’t matter…
Starbourne Traveler with Mikael Dahl For many years I presented complete demo versions of the songs with guitars, bass, vocals and programmed drums and what ended up on the records was pretty much copies of those demo recordings. With the new line-up, I felt it was time to involve the others because they really wanted…
Sisters of the Moon with Alex ‘Sisters of the Moon’ It’s a two-song EP with covers of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Sisters of the Moon’ and Black Sabbath’s ‘Die Young’ recorded at our studio. The idea came to us when Arthur joined the band, and we wanted to show everyone what he could do. ‘Sisters’ needed a…
Tears of Fire with Ulthima The pandemic restrictions hit just when we started the album recordings but fortunately, it didn’t really affect us in the process of recording other than having to postpone a few sessions but we tried to make the best of it and also I think in a way it stretched the…
Conjuring the New Apocalypse with Mark Manolo Aposento was born in the early 90s and, in a short time, began to record its first recordings, ‘Bloddy Ritual’ in 92 and ‘Eternal Agony’ in 93. After several changes in the line-up and several concerts with bands such as Death or Anacrusis. See the light ‘Welcome To…
Deep Water Flames with Target The world is turned upside down; many things are happening that have forced us to adapt. The band has worked remotely for the new material, already having a new album almost with its pre-production finished. Luis (Guitar) is the mastermind behind the band’s music; he manages together with Andy (Vocals)…
Gwenda with Void Collapse We’re a two-piece death metal band from Texas and Michigan. Shane Elwell plays the drums, and I play the guitars, synths, bass, and vocals. We released our sophomore album ‘Gwenda’; it’s the first in a four-part concept. We’re doing an album for each of the queens of the tarot deck. Gwenda…
The Demon behind My Mind with Ophelias Eye Ophelia’s Eye is a band from Switzerland with influences both from Gothenburg’s Melodic Death Metal sound and the early metalcore era of 2003. It all started with our passion for metal music. Remo (lead guitar) and Marco (drums) knew each other from school and had a band…
Unity in Time with Huw We’re really excited to release the new album ‘Unity in Time’; although we’ve had a couple of EPs in recent years, it’s been a while since we’ve been able to do a full-length album, and we can’t wait for people to hear how we’ve grown and developed. Hopefully, they will…
Deadlock with Alex Scott Since the last record, we’ve grown up as individuals and as a band. This album feels like a reflection of that growth and maturity. The lyrical content hits home, and the music is far more interesting and emotive than anything we’ve written before. We took our time with this one, meticulously…
Dawn of the New Day with Viper, Glympse Viper: Our debut album was awesome, but the new one is better. The work wasn’t very different from the previous one: demos, lyrics, record. And some guests as usual. Glympse: My part of the working process may occur at any time of the cycle, months before the…
Colossal Gods with Thijs De Cloedt My name is Tace DC (Thijs De Cloedt). I’m the guitarist and founder of Cobra The Impaler and the primary songwriter. The idea to start Cobra originated a few years back. I played in the Belgian death metal band Aborted for almost eight years. I left the band and…
