Mago de Oz biography
MAGO DE OZ was founded in Madrid during 1989 by the drummer Txus, who recruited all other members until reach the first line-up, who lasted until 1995: Txus (drums), Mohamed (violin), Carlitos (guitar), Chema (guitar), Salva (bass) and Juanma (vocals). Then, Chema, Salva and Juanma left the band, being replace by Frank, Sergio and José, and these were the only changes since then. Combining in an unique way heavy metal, celt, folk and medieval music, the band became one of the most important Spanish bands. Their sound could be defined as mix between KANSAS, SKYCLAD, IRON MAIDEN and BLACKMORE'S NIGHT.

After first self-titled album, released in 1994, they released five more albums (including live "Folktergeist"). The double-CD "Finisterra", with all keyboards and flutes arrangements, is considered a masterpiece. They also recorded versions (not simply covers) to songs from artists as RAINBOW, LED ZEPPELIN, KANSAS (a breathtaking Spanish version to "Dust in the Wind"), IRON MAIDEN and BARON ROJO.

If you're looking for a pure prog band, you will be a little disappointed with MAGO DE OZ, but if you are looking for something else in metal, this band is what you need!

A photo can have a thousand meanings, a poem evokes re-examination for new interpretations and films are visual motion-driven manifestations of story art. Therein, music can be strictly devised for the same purpose of guiding a listener into a specific realm of fantasy, leaving open ends for the expansion of individual value and sentiment. The newest edition to story-generated music is Metal band Lorenguard, who released their debut album 'Eve of Corruption: The Days of Astasia, Part 1' on November 29, 2011.
Compiling the chapters for the past seven years, the Indianapolis, IN. based septet formed an alliance based on the literary concoctions of drummer, Brady Sadler. Titled 'Eve of Corruption', the novel is based on the series 'The Days Of Astasia' that defines the tales of Lorenguard, a legion of knights.

MEREMOTH nace en 2002,y era como todas las bandas principiantes seguidoras de muchos grupos que hacen sus covers.
El nombre de MEREMOTH sale de un texto bíblico que a día de hoy ni ellos mismos saben lo que realmente significa.
Numerosos cambios de formación hacían preveer de MEREMOTH que no tendráin mucha consistencia,ni siquiera había un consenso para saber cual era el estilo a tocar,ya que primero eran un grupo cristiano.
Las bases de MEREMOTH las estsblecieron:
Mauro Prieto,Ruben y Fernando Palacios.
Al ser solo 3 tuvieron que buscar un par de músicos mas, es aquí donde entró en escena Mauro Gómez que tocaba la viola,asi que inmediatamente se sumó sin problemas a la banda, quedaba conseguir un cantante, que estaba más cerca de lo que ellos mismos creían y apareció Romina que cantó unos covers de Rata Blanca,y en ese mismo momento se estableció Meremoth y asi quedó la nueva formación:
Romina Vargas (voz)
Ruben Palacios (guitarra)
Mauro Gomez (guitarra)
Mauro Prieto (bajo)
Fernando Palacios (batería).
En 2004, la banda poner punto y aparte por la inestabilidad en algunos de los integrantes,además no se podía lograr un ensayo en el que participara todo el grupo entonces ahi se corto todo.Y ya en el 2009 se rearmó la banda y con un par de músicos nuevos, hoy Meremoth esta formado por:

Están influenciados por muchos grupos,aunque si les gustan las comparaciones escuchen a los polacos CRYSTAL VIPER.

Daniel De Tullio se ha rodeado de:
Marcelo Cóceres (Tango en tres)
Vanesa Yans (Fhedra)
Javier Rojas (Carnales)
Lucas Pampín (Einher Skald)
Miguel Rodea (Poseidón)
Leonardo Arza (Aorta)
Julián Graciano (Tango en tres)

Es el debut EN SOLITARIO,de uno de los componentes de Aorta.
Aunque el bagaje de la banda es mucho más amplio que la del propio vocalista,que nadie dude que Daniel va a triunfar aparte de los demás Aorta,o por encima...

Heavy Metal y Rock pesado hacen de daniel y también de Aorta su buque insignia,en castellano,y como no podía ser de otra manera autoproducido y siempre muy bien rodeado.

Formed back in 2008, and based in the North of England, Morpheus Rising has forged a reputation for lively stage shows and powerful melodic music. The band was built around material from guitarist Pete Harwood, written over the previous couple of years, and was soon gigging up and down the country both headlining and supporting the likes of GUN, The Reasoning and Gwyn Ashton.

A five piece, twin guitar band in the classic mould of Saxon, Judas Priest, Def Leppard et al, Morpheus Rising add a modern twist to British Heavy Rock with Prog, Goth, Thrash and the US metal/rock scene also being cited. The New Wave of British Heavy Metal dragged kicking and screaming into the new millennium. NWoBHM The Next Generation!?

Heavily influenced by bands such as Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden and Alter Bridge both musically and visually, Morpheus Rising produce an energetic show which will keep the old guard happy and show the new generation how it’s done. Central to the band’s sound is the twin guitar partnership of Pete Harwood and Daymo Sweeting, coupled with dynamic and melodic songwriting, from the balls out NWoBHM rock of Lord of the North to the lighter, more radio friendly Those Who Watch.

2011 saw the first line up change since the band’s very early beginnings with the departure of original singer Grae Tennick for a new life in Kenya. His shoes are more than filled by outstanding vocalist and front man Si Wright – whose arrival marks the beginning of a new era for this ambitious and hard working outfit. In at the deep end, Si’s second show was on the Classic Rock Stage at the 2011 Cambridge Rock Festival!

The new album, Let The Sleeper Awake, was released on December 9th 2011, and is available here.

1. Daylight 06:00
2. Lord of the North 05:01
3. Let The Sleeper Awake 05:14

(NCS writer BadWolf reviews the new album from Chicago’s High Spirits, one of the many projects of Chris Black (aka Dawnbringer).)

As I sit here, there’s a million things I should be listening to: brushing up on my beardo/nerdo metal in preparation for SUCKFEST ’11, putting together my Norwegian Hardcore playlist for Invisible Oranges, and brushing up on my Enslaved for their upcoming tour with Alcest and Ghost, not to mention the loads of promo records clogging my inbox.

None of those has factored in for the past 6 days thanks to Another Night, the debut record by Chicago’s High Spirits. This piece of self-released, Neo-Traditional metal awesomeness has possessed my iPod harder than Pazuzu possessed Linda fuckin Blair.

“The power of ‘Core compels you, the power of ‘Core compels you.” I scream at the little glowing screen… and then I listen to “Full Power” one more time. 45 repeats in 6 days. I need help. Islander—this is my vote for catchiest song of the year.

Don’t let that fool you into thinking this is a one-song record. Hell no. Another Night is a 40-minute nostalgia trip that delivers. No concepts, no conceits, no bullshit. Just good times and hard rocking.

Then again, that shouldn’t come as a surprise—High Spirits is (in studio) a one-man project of Chicago metal royalty Chris Black. This man is an absolute beast. He writes lyrics for Nachtmystium when he’s not writing every instrument for High Spirits and another little project called Dawnbringer(more after the jump . . .)

01. Another Night In The City
02. Do You Remember
03. Full Power
04. Demons At The Door
05. I'll Be Back
06. You Make Love Impossible
07. Where Did I Go Wrong
08. Nights In Black
09. Going Up
