Rise or Fall – Kono Art: Velio Josto When I said that I am a typical Japanese person who does not have a very strong religious view, music might be my religion. I want to listen to good music and make good music myself because this is my purpose in life. So the most necessary…
Terrorizer – Brandon Hunt Art: Brandon Hunt I’ve been one of the artists for the band so far in its lifetime. My background is in creative and digital art, so I jumped at the chance to make our first single artwork. ‘Terrorizer’ is about being a voice and rising to fight whatever injustices may come.…
All Will Bow – Reign of Glory Art: Scott Waters We are Reign of Glory, a hard rock/heavy metal band that seeks to glorify the living God through our music and lyrics. We formed in early 2022 with Robyn Kyle Basauri (Red Sea, Die Happy) on vocals, Roger Dale Martin (Vengeance Rising, Die Happy) on…
Phoenix Rising – Kings of other Wings We have a ritual; the two guitarists like to get together when they write, and they come up with some of the best-written stuff. They smoke and smoke and tell you how good it is, then they listen the next day and realise that they should have had…
Blackfire – Rebecca Tovey Art: Lu Agudelo Bio: Formed in late 2012 by vocalist/guitarist Nico Cattoni, Raptore hailed from Buenos Aires, Argentina and released their first demo in 2014.

Fire It Up – Thunderor Art: Daniel Porta Bio: Thunderor is an 80s-infused heavy metal band formed in 2020 by Skull Fist band members JJ Tartaglia and Jonny Nesta, plus Oscar Rangel (ex-Annihilator) on bass. Together they deliver hook-driven anthems to the calibre that has come to be expected by a Canadian power trio. Since…
Meat We’re Made Of – Niels ‘Coyote’ Bang Design: Robin Chave “Harons” Like for our debut EP’s artwork, we did it ourselves. We called a photographer for the professional quality, but all the artistic process came from us. This one was made to embarrass the viewers. Nobody wants to have a human head on their…
Månsken – Witch Blade Art: Joel Sundin Bio: Witch Blade was formed in 2012 by Witchlover and Witchhunter in Kristinehamn, Sweden. The two childhood friends had been playing together in other projects but wanted to form a band and write riffs to honour their heavy metal heroes; Angel Witch, Tokyo Blade, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden.…
Poisoner by Lisa Mann Lisa Mann made a career as an award-winning blues artist but never lost her love of metal music.

A brand-new entity hailing from Belgium, the sword-swinging brigands of Soulcaster shall make their mark across the metal underground with their five-song Maelstrom of Death and Steel. In a swift-but-satisfying 22 minutes, Soulcaster erect towers of fantastical heavy metal might, evincing a stout grasp of epic-yet-punchy songwriting and a whole host of unique contrasts which…
Aggressive Hauntings by Midnight Priest Midnight Priest was born in the streets of Coimbra, Portugal, in the winter of 2008. The band then consisted of five ugly bastards, all very well seasoned in the underground scene: The Priest on vocals, Iron Fist and Rod Wolf on guitars, Joe Dalton on bass and War Tank Drums.…
Saturnalia by Steva From the heart of Italy, horror metallers Deathless Legacy combine hard symphonic solutions and intense fickle vocals to enhance the occult, horror dark themes. Formed in 2006 by singer Steva (Eleonora Vaiana) and drummer Frater Orion (Andrea Falaschi), the band has always been focused on offering to their audience spectacular shows, introducing…
Stand Your Ground by Peter Östros, Michael Müller Michael Müller: About our band name Jaded Heart, it was beginning of the 90s and we were pretty much influenced by 80s metal. We were ( and still are ) big fans of all the bands back in the days. So we were looking for a band…
Voyage of the Eagle by Phil Denton I think it is hard to choose the right name for your band. We started in 1983 and toyed with the names Purgatory and Hellfire, but both were rather corny. We wanted something a bit more subtle. To us, Elixir is an alchemist’s potion, created through magic and…

Warlord by Leather Synn Leather Synn is a sex-related name, so you may figure that we like the subject. The band was supposed to be called only Leather, but then our first singer suggested Leather Synn, and we liked the idea. ‘Warlord’ is the title of the first track, and it is a song written…

The Throne Within By Tobias Petterson Our music can be described as relentless heavy metal, with one foot in the classic sense and kicking in the door of boundaries with the other. RAM is heavy metal but has never been shy to mix in elements from other subgenres. Speed, thrash, doom, even black metal –…
