Promoting metal as art and culture

Ulthima

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…

Schemata Theory

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…

InVisions

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…

Above the Stars

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…

Overtoun 

This Darkness Feels Alive with Agustin Lobo, Matias Bahamondes Agustin Lobo: The cover art for ‘This Darkness Feels Alive’ is undoubtedly one of the most important elements of the music. It is the first thing you can appreciate without going any further before even listening to the album. That hell landscape full of dark characters…

Grenouer

Ambition 999 with Andrey Ind Grenouer latest release is already not quite new. I am talking about the deluxe edition of the album ‘Ambition 999’, which includes bonus tracks and a DVD, and it has been a year and a half since it saw the light. The apparent reason for the absence of any new…
