Lucifer II By Nicke Andersson and Johanna Sadonis Nicke: It’s got nine songs of Lucifer heavy rock. Johanna: Yes, nine songs of heavy rock. We can recommend it. Nicke: Johanna had the concept. Ester Segarra took the photo. Johanna and I laid it out. I can’t say it tells the story of the album, no.…

Oblivious is a hard working, hard touring and much appreciated live act with…

Held in Contempt By Bob Saunders From the abandoned asylums and haunted pine barrens of Southern New Jersey comes High Council, an interminable force with one foot in hell and the other crushing the throat of mediocrity.

Automata By Carlos Amado From the alchemical merging of Metal music and the aesthetics of Steampunk an unlikely synthesis is born, giving rise to Dallian, a band hoping to fill a void in a still very underexplored fusion. Rising in 2017 from the centre of Portugal, in the small city of Leiria, Dallian is a…
II By Vesa Ajomo I think the term Black Arts of Psychedelia is more than a good reference to our art. What we aim for music-wise is heavy, intense, meditative, ominous, powerful, crooked. The most important principle for us is that the music we play inspires us. All that we do must create a connection…
Terminal By Jussi Lehtisalo Circle was founded in 1991 by Jussi Lehtisalo in the peripheral town of Pori, Finland. The band soon gained underground reputation with their violently hypnotic shows and minimalist approach to songwriting. Early on they also invented a language of their own, Meronian, which is still present in their vocals. After various…
Light Will Consume Us All By Chris Lemos Chrch wields epic, lengthy songs, massive low end, and an occult vocal presence in a perfect blend of height and depth. Minimalist, indulgent, or straightforward; the music of Chrch calls the listener to inhabit it, allowing enough room for its transmutation into anything one desires of it.…
The Lights of This Earth Are Blinding By Derrick Flanagin Our new album ‘The Lights of This Earth’ I think as a whole we just took a little more time with the writing process. We also took some time off to try and mould these songs and find the new direction we wanted to go.…

Downfall of Mankind By Fernanda Lira Our music can be described as very visceral and aggressive Thrash/death metal, influenced by Destruction, Sepultura, Slayer and many more… It’s common to find people saying that the band has an “old school” thrash metal, cause our influences came from many old school bands and you can clearly find…
The Wine – Dark Sea by Andrew Prestidge This album was a four-year gestation until release, after we played Roadbum in 2015 some members left due to commitments outside the band, so we were reduced to a core four-piece for some time. The new LP is based on in part some of the short stories…

Weltenwanderer By Arnaud We’d describe our music as a healthy dose of melodic death metal mixed with different influences, ranging from bands like Epica, Ensiferum, Dornenreich, and many more. In the end, we listen to the songs and decide if it works for us or not. We generally have one or two persons come up…
Machine By Nina Vetterli-Treml 69 Chambers is a minefield of contradictions, combining brutality with pop sensibility in an array of in-your-face rock and metal songs. Led by multi-instrumentalist and frontwoman Nina Vetterli-Treml, they combine outstanding musicianship with a voice that has been described as somewhere between “Tori Amos goes metal” and “Alanis Morissette with balls”.…
Exterminator By Tom Sutton Since the first whispers heard in 2014, the name of Gothenburg’s Night Viper has only gotten louder and louder.
