Risingfall

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…

Titan Rage

Terrorizer – Brandon Hunt Art: Brandon Hunt I’ve been one of the artists for the band so far in its lifetime.

Animalize

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…

Jaded Heart

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…

Elixir

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…

Leather Synn

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…

RAM

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.
