Well everyone it has been a long time coming but we are proud to announce that UNBOUND will be dropping July 31st.
This album serves as a milestone in this bands career and is very important to us and the people that made it happen mean even more. So as a showing of our gratitude we give you the power to spend whatever you want on this digital release. Pay nothing or be generous, whichever you decide, we just want this music our there and in your hands.
The Finns PSYCHEMA place this year with "The entry point", in front after an EP in 2008, their official debut album. According to the information flyer plays progressive metal quintet. Well, if the word progressive increases in the original sense, is not it in a certain way. Stylistically, the limited band around singer / guitarist Tomi Kavala, anyway. However, they are not as brave as you could wish for good.
PSYCHEMA feel both the death metal and gothic metal and - as mentioned above - progressive metal attached. With the progressive element in the music of PSYCHEMA based not so much on Frickel passages, but rather by the combination of these ingredients. This is a risky business, and overall, the Finns are to do any bad way. As so often, it is sick but in the implementation of those objectives. "The entry point" does not sound really intended to end. One can see that the band made their mind works and has tried to implement it. This results in song fragments that promote the potential of PSYCHEMA well to light. On the other hand, there is far too much kitsch, as heard in "antiparticle". Overall, the proportion of kitsch is the debut album by the Finns simply too high. That was the mid-nineties, when the Gothic genre just experienced its high point, even annoying, but somehow it was. Today, one can elicit such sounds with at most dreamy teen Goths delight from the cellar and.

The "Wielder of the Blade" album takes the listener through an epic journey as the main character, Rais'Alon, works his way through the realms of magic to meet the final battle for the land of Phylean. Each song has a particular character (or characters) that tell a portion of the story.
Ron Burgoyne and John Logsdon have been jamming together for 30 years and were in various hard rock/metal bands over that time. They took a break away from band life for about 20 years in order to raise families and such, but they always kept the music going one way or the other.
KrethX was started by John and Ron in 2008. While we would love to get back into playing live, we're at a bit of a disadvantage...we live 6 hours apart and it's just the two of us that do all the music. At some point, if our music builds enough of a following, we would start looking toward adding members to the band and then who knows? Regardless, our goal is to make epic/fantasy metal where we can tell stories through our music.
Hailing from the North of Ireland Filthy Angels sound like they've been brought up on a heavy diet of heads down rock 'n' roll, drawing their influences from a plethora of '80s rockers. There is definitely a hint of The Wildhearts ('Destroy' era), some no nonsense hard rocking Almighty style here and there, as well as a smidgen of The Dogs D'amour to name but three influences heard on this here pledged album.
With Home at Last, an EP of six tunes, Grave Digger gives fans a taste of the recent past and a foretaste of their forthcoming album, Clash of the Gods. However, I'm not sure it will be enough to satisfy the diehard; it's a case of too little too late.
So here's the skinny on this small offering. The first three songs are studio cuts. Home at Last will be on the new album, but Rage of the Savage Beast and Metal Will Never Die not so. Curiously, these three songs don't reflect the speedier side of Grave Digger's power metal; they're more steady traditional (Eighties) heavy metal.
The last three songs are live cuts from DVD/CD set The Clans Are Still Marching from 2010's Wacken Open Air. Actually, the songs are the very last three songs of the set: Ballad Of A Hangman, Excalibur, and Heavy Metal Breakdown, always a crowd favorite. With these, you get back to the faster side of Grave Digger.

"This modern world is the portrait of decay, that's why we are Addicted To Decadence." These are the opening words of Naughty Whisper's new studio effort, Addicted To Decadence.
Naughty Whisper's latest release is a mixture of metal, gothic and rock elements, not to mention that scandinavian air the band has been breathing for years.
The album was produced in Göteborg at the Arnold Lindberg's studio (In Flames,Hardcore Superstar, Evergrey).

Synful Ira was born in April 2007 and features Fabio Balducci (Ancient Bards) on guitar and Marco Renzi (Absynth Aura) on drums. It all began as an Evanescence's and Nightwish's tribute band.
"Between Hope and Fear" was inspired by a true story. It is a mix of very different sounds: melodic parts with an extensive use of piano and acoustic guitar, symphonic parts with orchestral arrangements and heavy parts with strong guitar arrangements intertwined with very modern and attractive electronic keyboard riffs, in order to follow as a great soundtrack the unfolding of history.

Now!WOOOW!
If high scores were given for album art alone, New Jersey's Thank You Scientist would score big for their first full-length album, Maps of Non-Existent Places. I love sci-fi art from the classic period, especially when it's packaged in a format of early stereo records. Yet, what lies within? Something I couldn't have expected.
Here's a band of seven fellows, adept in many genres and very talented, playing about twenty different instruments, including cello, saxophone, and trumpet, to create ambitious progressive rock. I say ambitious when other words are also required. The arrangements are thick with complexity, significant mood and time changes, and individual showcase performances. There so much going on in every song, it takes several spins to wrap the arrangements around your head.
Nothing new in the music scene, yes, but "Sighs of Sorrow" is summed up all the musical potential of available Kingdom Of Hades: good melodies, strong rhythm, good work for violin and keyboards, guitars and a powerful voice well suited to style, technically outstanding ... but (yes, there is a but, always the bloody but) they lack a mild dose of charisma, something that distinguishes the few bands chosen from the rest of the pack. I guess it's about experience and give them time. They are good, the songs are based on the best of the legendary Heavy 80 (with epic instrumental introduction included) and above all, extremely courageous in practice a style that must feel genuine devotion as it is not exactly fashionable in the rock universe (in this country, of course), that is to value highly.
