Promoting metal as art and culture
Liberation From A Brutalist Existence with Brent Ericson Wanderer is a Minneapolis based quartet formed as a quintet in the winter of 2013. Drawing influence first from the likes of The Chariot and Norma Jean, and more recently from Converge, Trap Them, and Baptists, they create a maelstrom of heavy, agile, and uncompromising metal/hardcore hybrid.…
Ritual with Anatoly Pakhalenko Let’s start with the fact that our band Nytt Land is a little more than a creative team, no matter how banal it may sound at first glance. If you study the biography of the Nytt Land, for example, on the Wikipedia page, you will find that our creative team is…
Power of the Chosen One with Gustavo Acosta There are many stories regarding creating our latest release, Power of the Chosen One 2021, but 99% of them can (and should) be shared only on a table with some beers and laughs due to the sensitive content of most of them. In any case, this album…
Visions Of Another Hell with Blood Youth The new record is an entirely natural extension and progression of our sound as a band and a snapshot in time of the people we were at that moment. Nothing we do is forced, rushed or second-guessed, this is by far our favourite and best sounding record to…
Human Failures with Adam Mamok We released “Human Failures” in June this year, and we are very pleased with the result. The whole process took quite a long time, and we played the first songs with the previous guitarist, who Kajetan Pawliszyn replaced. Initially, Eugene Ryabchenko (Fleshgod Apocalypse) was supposed to record the drum parts,…
Catalyst Crime with Zoe Marie Federoff Catalyst Crime is an international cinematic symphonic metal band that began in late 2017 as a project between Xandria drummer Gerit Lamm and American vocalist Zoe Marie Federoff. Accompanied by orchestral composer and keyboardist Jonah Weingarten of Pyramaze, guitarists Chena Roxx and Kaelen Sarakinis, as well as bassist Matt…
Dug Up… Diabolical Reincarnations with Eduardo Lane Fed-up with the entire trend flooding the scene, NervoChaos was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in the spring of 1996, with the idea of creating aggressive and chaotic extreme music. The band gained cult status in the music scene due to their hard work over the past 25…
Nightmare Eclipse with David Miller, Stephen Behrendt David Miller: ‘Nightmare Eclipse’ is a culmination of everything we could find to push our musicianship. We tried to write riffs and structure the songs on this album, which was almost outside our capabilities. We normally start with a pile of riffs and then build a blueprint out…
Embers Gathering with Michael McGinley, Michael O’Hara, Cole Daniels Fleshbore was formed at the beginning of 2017 in Indianapolis, IN, building on the band’s foundation that a few members were in previously. The idea of Fleshbore was not only to pave the way for a fresh start but to push boundaries both musically and mentally,…
Ashes with Dana Bowman Our new album Ashes 2021 was a pretty long process. As a band, we went through a lot of grief, we grew apart from friends, and we had some close friends and family pass away. At first, we were simply writing songs for an album, but then life happened. We all…
Victims with Erik Kristhammar, Gustaf Hellberg Erik Kristhammar: Something’s wrong in the small Swedish town of Kristinehamn. In 2009, the four bloodthirsty killers in Insane began terrorising the underground with a slew of demos and EPs before committing their first full-length offence with ‘Evil’ in 2017. And these boys have a criminal record, with past…
The Warriors Awakening Brings the Unholy Slaughter with Eternal Evil. Our new record varies a lot in music because most of the tracks were either on earlier releases or written after our demo. Usually, I come up with all the riffs, and we jam them in our rehearsal room, and other times another member does…
On the Shore of Life with Stu Callinan, Phillip T. King Stu Callinan: ‘On the Shore of Life’ follows our debut EP, ‘Lost From the Start’. This time around, we expanded more on our sound and took it to darker places, which was certainly more dynamic and adventurous. Writing began in late 2019, and it…
And Then There Were None with Franz Posch ‘And Then There Were None’ it’s aggressive, honest and loud – as all things heavy should be, I guess. At least, I think that’s the headlines for me (Franz). We went into the process of making this record with the intent of creating an explosion of emotions…
Hypercube Necrodimensions with M. Xaviculus Bell ‘Hypercube Necrodimensions’ is our attempt at capturing the magic of the late 90s/early 00s euro metal that inspired us all in the first place. Miraculously, the creative process was smooth, inspiring and without any drama. Although we are all used to being ‘band leaders’ or the leading writers in…
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,…
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…
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 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…
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…
