Band:VHOL
Album:DEEPER THAN SKY
Label:Profound Lore
Format:CD
Genre:Thrash/Crossover Metal
When their debut album was released in 2013, the VHOL self-titled effort was a surprise to many who didn’t expect what VHOL would initially sound like considering it was a new band initially brought up as an idea between two ex- Ludicra members who wanted to make music together again, namely John Cobbett of Hammers Of Misfortune and Aesop Dekker of Agalloch. What would then shape into something more expansive with the addition of bassist Sigrid Sheie (also of Hammers Of Misfortune/ex-Amber Asylum) and the addition of YOB mastermind Mike Scheidt to handle the vocals, VHOL would be a new musical group where each member would experience something new with creating music while at the same time re-discovering their old school metal roots.
With their new album “Deeper Than Sky”, VHOL have created something totally next level from their debut on pretty much every level and have taken it even further and more in the outer-realms of sonic exploration within the paradigm of old school speed metal. With each musician pushing themselves even more with “Deeper Than Sky”, especially the vocal performance of Mike Scheidt who is known as one of metal’s best vocalists today and delivers his best vocal performance to date on the new VHOL album.
The new VHOL album surpasses their lauded and acclaimed debut. Where as the debut was one of the most unique albums of 2013, “Deeper Than Sky” will stand as one of the most singular and distinct metal albums of 2015, sounding unlike anything else in metal today. - For fans of “Kill Em All” era Metallica, “Show No Mercy” era Slayer, and ‘70s era Judas Priest, as well as for fans of said VHOL member’s respective main bands that they represent.

Band:BARON
Album:TORPOR
Label:SVART
Format:CD
Genre:Rock
'Torpor', the new album from British rock four piece, Baron, is the latest in a long line of imaginative works hailing from the British Isles that seek to link place and mythology - the wind beaten rural landscape and the stories of magic handed down through generations of tellers. In this way it takes many of its cues from previous generations of musicians and artists. Alan Garner and Mervyn Peake; Derek Jarman and Kate Bush, all explorers at one time or another of the potent mix of history, folklore and landscape that lie at the heart of these Isles. It is a testament then to the sheer quality of 'Torpor' that in this daunting company Baron should not feel ashamed.
Baron's previous album 'Columns' proved that they were a band filled with talent and vision, but 'Torpor' takes the project to a very different level. This is nothing less than a fully realised masterpiece, rich in the same early dawn melancholy that so marked its predecessor, but stronger and more resilient; marked with tangled thickets of electric guitar and organ and presided over by Alex Crispin's unmistakable baritone.
That parts of the album were surreptitiously (and not entirely legally) recorded at Purton Green, one of the last surviving medieval halls in the UK, makes a lot of sense in this context. It is precisely this mix of daring and tradition; of the lure of the landscape and the ability to reconfigure it in one's own image, that marks 'Torpor' out as an outstanding album, and which pinpoints Baron's position as the latest addition to an imaginative lineage that stretches back as far as the language itself.

Band:SEAMOUNT
Album:NITRO JESUS
Label:THE CHURCH WITHIN
Format:CD
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
Seamount began in 2007 as an idea of guitarist Tim Schmidt in Wurzburg, Germany under the influence of his fondness for the melodic hard rock and heavy metal style of bands like the Obsessed, AC/DC, Black Sabbath and so many others. On his search for the proper vocalist American singer Phil Swanson introduced himself as a potential candidate for the position and without much more thought the two moved forward quickly writing their debut “NTODRM” an acronym for “New Torch of Doom Rock Music” a term coined between the two members from their very first conversation about Seamount and its musical direction.
The initial 2008 debut was released as an interactive free download before getting picked up for a double vinyl gatefold pressing by Merciless Records which was followed by Seamounts first European tour that culminated a successful opening of Hammer of Dooms inaugural festival. Just more than a year later Seamount returned in 2009 with a slightly more experimental approach on “Light and Truth” which found them the new welcome home of Church Within Records that had a highlighted tour opening Doom Shall Rise. Almost a year to the day Seamount returned in 2010 again with their third release of “Sacrifice” that received their greatest appreciation to date with numerous favored reviews and best of year accolades. Another record meant another quick European tour of support this time with labelmates Serpent Venom and at the time Orchid. Seamount then went back to the writing and recording process taking two years time to release 2012’s bold concept record of love and spirituality “Earthmother”. The bands fourth and bravest effort was surprisingly well received despite its parsimonious indulgence.
After Earthmother Seamount took a break from live appearances and for the first time slowed its writing process until they gathered up their ideas for this new 2015 release of their fifth studio recording “Nitro Jesus” that brings back the straight ahead vibe of Sacrifice and NTODRM, prioritizing a more hook oriented style that puts Seamounts adroitness for rhythm and melody to a prominent forefront, proudly stating the idea of traditional songwriting above all else.

Band:ALUCARDA
Album:RAW HOWLS
Label:THE CHURCH WITHIN
Format:CD
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
Risen from the filthy streets of Copenhagen in late 2011, with the love for old fuzzy garage punk, doom metal and exploitation movies and other sleazy flicks. At the beginning it was more or less a one man project, started by Hampus Wahlgren. When their demo tape, D.F.F.L, was ready for recording in 2012, Marcus Ferreira had been sitting behind the drums for about three rehearsals. When they got their first concert, Simon Daniel Larsen had joined on guitar and Alucarda became a three piece band.
In the summer of 2014, their first full length, titled Raw howls, was recorded live during three days in a rehearsal room by Marcus. ”It was recorded fast and with a ”Yeah, pretty sure we played it right, let’s do the next track!” – kind of attitude, haha. The album got some parts that’s charmingly bad. A either you like it or you dont kind of deal I guess… It’s sloppy, loud and filthy!”.......for fans of Electric Wizard or Satans Satyrs.

Band:C`MON TIGRE
Album:CMON TIGRE - LP
Label:CMT
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Indie/Shoegaze
After releasing the amazing music film Federation Tunisienne de Football in collaboration with the international artist G.Toccafondo in June 2014, C’mon Tigre will finally release their first album (Self Titled) on October 13 2014! The name Afroamericans gave to this dirty style of music was funk in reference to the body odour produced while in a state of excitation. That’s what we do, repetitive riffs and a maximalist attitude in a mosaic of arabic melodies, analogue drum machines, sinuous guitars, with a bombastic horn sections that could make snakes dance. The album includes 13 tracks, composed and produced by the duo C'mon Tigre and arranged together with its extended family, a great cluster of musicians from all over the world: Jessica Lurie, Henkjaap Beeuwkes, Pasquale Mirra, Ahmad Oumar, Enrico Fontanelli, Danny Ray Barragan, Eusebio Martinelli, Dipak Raji, Rocco Favi, Paolo Berluti, Malik Ousmane and Simone Sabini. More than two years of recordings, with a constant change of longitude and latitude. We have travelled far. We have met musicians with great souls and worked together with them on these 13 tracks. A group of people mutually contaminated sharing their musical memories. C’mon Tigre began life in the Mediterranean basin and spread out to the corners of the world's metropolises. C’mon Tigre talks about the fascination that Africa holds in a tales that stretch along a curve line from San Diego to Bombay. That's the reason why we choose not to sign this project with our birth names, because C’mon Tigre represents the single artistic voice which keeps those memories. Where do we come from, who are we similar to? that is not relevant. There’s not one single place, there are many places. There’s not one single face, there are many faces. C’mon Tigre are two people but at the same time is a collective of souls. This condition will change constantly, on stages, in the next recordings sessions and also in all those areas that are not strictly related to music. C’mon Tigre will invest in artistic research continuing his collaborations with animators, illustrators, visual artists like the successful experiment made with Mr. Toccafondo. More it will change, the more it will grow. DOUBLE VINYL LP.

Band:ZULUS
Album:ZULUS II
Label:AAGOO RECORDS
Format:CD
Genre:Indie/Shoegaze
Aagoo Records in New Jersey is thrilled to be releasing the sophomore album from ZULUS. The four members - Aleksan- der Prechtl, Daniel Martens, Jeremy Scott and Julian Bennett-Holmes - all come from a background in music dominated by a punk and hardcore aesthetic as former members of bands including Battleship, Necking, Teenage Nitewar, Rice, Prsms, Aa, Fiasco, the Homosexuals, and Wand.
ZULUS was started as an attempt at a pop band by guys who have since proven clearly unable to write pop songs. The record, simply titled Zulus II, is loaded with nine brash and corrupted anthems all rolled up tight into a wiry ball of filth and whatever other debris it picked up along the way. Tracks are loaded with heavy doses of textural energy, repetition and a neon spattering of noise, punk and ambient elements, giving new meaning to the descriptor "pop" while simultaneously capitalizing on their very own gruesome sound. You're going to have to hear it to believe; just prepare yourself for a thoroughly reckless attack.

Band:BRAIN DAMAGE
Album:WALK THE WALK
Label:JARRING EFFECTS
Format:CD
Genre:Reggae/Dub/Ska
The initial idea of the project was to involve certain actors of this famous generation that contributed in the 1960s / 70s to create what reggae is, and by extension, the dub. Five veterans of the genre line then up behind the microphone, all contemporaries, but with totally diverse sensibilities and backgrounds. Nowadays still superstar for some of them like Horace Andy whose tone is recognizable miles away, and who is used to collaborate with Massive Attack, kind of forgotten for some others like Kiddus I that yet was, in 1978, the hero if a key scene in the cult film « Rockers », all of them have kept their talents unimpaired. This being the case of Willi Williams, author of the timeless hit "Armagideon Time", covered by The Clash as so many others did, but also of Winston Mc Anuff who never ceases to amaze us by collaborating with French artists in a marked contrast to reggae vibes (Camille Bazbaz, Fixi, Java). Lastly, the dean Ras Michael, which was for so many years one of the ambassadors of Nyabinghi traditions on an international scale, continues to blow us away by his vocal interventions imbued with so much spirituality, and by this unique style of percussion-playing. For the span of one studio session, all of them succeed in blending into the musical universe suggested by Brain Damage, and undertake the stylistic exercise submitted by the artist: writing most of their lyrics on the theme of their childhood, the childhood, youth and education. The outcome of these meetings is unique, a singular combination of maturity and genuineness, doubtless resulting from the open-mindedness and talents of each protagonist.
The album is composed with 5 famous veterans from the reggae genre: Kiddus I became a legend in in 1978 in the most famous cult movie of reggae Rockers, he played a key scene when he voiced the title Graduation In Zion at Jack Ruby' s recording studio Winston Mc Anuff :The man nicknamed Electric Dread begins an intense artistic activity with the album "Nostradamus" but also with a range of projects far from reggae with French artists as Camille Bazbaz, M, Java or Fixi the accordionist Horace Andy : The 1990 saw Andy's profile further raised when he began collaborating with Bristol trip hop pioneers Massive Attack, going on to contribute to all five of their albums Willi Williams : Williams voiced the breakthrough track "Armagideon Time" in 1979. Punk legends The Clash helped internationalize "Armagideon Time" in 1979 Ras Mikael is well known for being the first member of the Rastafari movement to host a reggae radio program in Jamaica. He also performed with Bob Marley, Lee Scratch Perry at the famous Black Art.

Band:GIOBIA
Album:MAGNIFIER
Label:SULATRON RECORDS
Format:CD
Genre:Psych/Garage
We are proud to announce the fourth album (and the second one on Sulatron) by Giöbia, the psychedelic sensation from Milano, Italy!
Giöbia celebrate a intense neo-psychedelic-rock, who is deeply inspired by the sound of the late sixties. Next to Guitars, Bass, Drums and Organ they use Sitar, Bouzuki, vintage Keyboards and Effects to create a colourful and swirling sound. Their vocals are often in the background to produce a more far out athmosphere. All that filled with love and passion for their music. A very tasty album and a true highlight in the growing Sulatron-history! Giöbia’s new album “Magnifier” is ready to suck you into a lysergic vortex of exotic mantras and Sabbathian rituals. The sound of the new album is heavier and darker than the past records, but always unique, and at some moments will reveal the intimate bond that we’ve always had with the 70's Italian progressive. Giöbia has been one of the most influential psychedelic bands in Italy over the last years. Seduced by the lysergic side of the ‘60s, by exotic mantras and the evocative power of space-rock, Giöbia is a band from Milano, Italy with many facets and one only faith, that is to turn every encounter with sound into a psychedelic experience. Giöbia - comes from an ancient pre-christian festivity celebrated in Northern Italy when a big straw puppet resembling a witch is burnt as a propitiatory ritual towards the forces of nature.

Band:PSICOTAXI
Album:EFFECT OF THE HEADS MASS
Label:SUBSPHERA
Format:CD
Genre:Kraut / Space Rock
Psychadelic hyper amplified echoes, obsessive riffs, electronica with a strongly pulp-tinged vision.
In 2015 they are releasing their first album with Subsphera, "Effect of the Head’s Mass": 6 tracks, three instrumental and 3 composed with Benigni. Gianpiero Risico, on saxophone, and Emanuele “Manolo” Cedrone on percussion instruments, were a precious contribution to the album, which shows the band's inclination to space rock and the visionary nature typical of bands likes Hawkwind, Can, Tool, and Ozric Tentacles. But it also includes the search for a new approach to such a prestigious and committed musical tradition. All this clearly represents the two faces of the band: between mathematical instrumental rides, visionary precision, phanta-urban environments an alternating with the rock-reading pieces of the author, in line with the heavy Mental Poetry project. A poetic research which aspires to a new bond with music, making the latter not simply a complement, but an accurate counterpoint to words that aim to be as hard as rocks, as sharp as blades, and as graceful as butterflies.

Band:BOB MALONE
Album:MOJO DELUXE
Label:BURNSIDE
Format:CD
Genre:Blues
MOJO DELUXE is that perfect gumbo of dirty blues, classic rock & roll, and New Orleans piano pyrotechnics. It’s where Bob Malone stomps his foot on a miked-up cigar box, rips on a funky old upright piano and a vintage Wurlitzer, and sings fearlessly of life at the halfway point. It is deep grooves, swamp rock, gospel-drenched ballads, and plenty of nasty slide guitar. The all-star band features Stan Behrens (WAR), Tim Lefebvre (Tedeschi Trucks Band), Mike Baird (Journey, Bob Dylan, Joe Cocker), producer/guitarist Bob DeMarco, and Bob’s John Fogerty bandmate Kenny Aronoff. This is Bob’s 8th album. BOB MALONE has toured the world as a solo artist for two decades and has played keyboards with rock legend John Fogerty since 2011. Classically trained, with a degree in jazz and a lifetime playing rock & roll clubs, theatres, and arenas, Bob’s sound is a one-of-a-kind hybrid of rock, blues, and New Orleans R&B, delivered with high-energy piano virtuosity and a voice all his own. Currently based in Los Angeles, Bob plays an average of 100 tour dates a year, he has shared stages with Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Jimmy Buffett, Rickie Lee Jones, The Neville Brothers, Rev. Al Green, Dr. John and many others. As a solo artist, Bob tours the US, UK, Europe and Australia extensively, with a further UK tour this October.

SACRED STEEL do not play Heavy Metal. They ARE Heavy Metal, or to be more exact: True Heavy Metal. Back in the middle of the '90s, when Classic Metal was fighting for its survival and was loosing, bunch of Heavy Metal maniacs from Germany got tired of new trends in Metal, and decided to start a band which would celebrate the legacy of legends such as AGENT STEEL, MERCYFUL FATE, SANCTUARY, OMEN, CIRITH UNGOL, early MANOWAR or HELSTAR. Not only they succeeded, and got signed to the legendary Metal Blade Records as the first German band ever, but they managed to ignite the fire that the scene needed, and they were in the front row of maniacs who were responsible for the revival of True Heavy Metal in Europe. Skol Records is proud to present exclusive, expanded edition reissue of their already rare classic debut from 1997, "Reborn In Steel".

Band:SOFY MAJOR
Album:WASTE
Label:SOLAR FLARE
Format:CD
Genre:Postrock / Post Hardcore / Noise
From the post-industrial wilderness of Clermont-Ferrand, France’s violently addictive hardcore-soaked noise rock outfit, SOFY MAJOR, has completed their third LP “Waste”. With just under forty-two minutes of new material, Waste undoubtedly sees SOFY MAJOR charting new boundaries, and at a more relaxed pace. While not shying away from their rampant outbursts completely, the raging appears more subdued, with slightly more melodious sensibilities enveloping its delivery.
The grimy Unsane/Harvey Milk/Hammerhead-influenced Big-Muff sonic core of the band’s delivery is here fused to a rocked-out underbelly analogous to the output of Coliseum, Rising, Floor, and the like. Calling once again upon their trusted engineer team, SOFY MAJOR enlisted Dave Curran (Unsane, Pigs, Big Business) to produce Waste, this time on home turf to avoid hurricanes, recording the album at Black Box Studio in France. The output was then mixed by Andrew Schneider (Pigs, Julie Christmas, Unsane) at Translator Audio in Brooklyn and mastered by Carl Saff at Saff Mastering.

Album:WRONGER
Label:SOLAR FLARE
Format:CD
Genre:Postrock / Post Hardcore / Noise
When UNSANE bassist Dave Curran started writing songs on guitar with drummer Jim Paradise (Player’s Club, Freshkills, Hellno) the name they tossed out for their fledgling project was simple: PIGS. “We figured it was short enough that press and promoters couldn’t fuck it up.” Producer Andrew Schneider (Cave In, Converge, Made Out of Babies, Unsane, Keelhaul) was invited to fill-in on bass for a couple of shows and, much to their delight, has refused to leave. The sound? PIGS sound like the last forty-five minutes of that interminable haul from Portland to San Francisco when both patience and air conditioning are long gone; like a petty, early-morning drunken argument in a gravel parking lot about the stupid, impossible math of how to divide forty-one dollars three ways; like when the left rear bearing on the van that’s been squealing and then grinding for days finally gets hot enough to weld itself into the axle and the ancient Detroit Deathtrap grates to a final, shuddering halt. Pigs sound like three guys who have played countless shows in many bands for a couple of decades in several dozen countries and still can’t leave it alone.

Band:FUNERAL MOTH
Album:DENSE FOG
Label:THRONE
Format:VINYL LP
Genre:Stoner/Doom/Occult/Sludge Metal
Throne presents the vinyl version of Japanese extreme Doom debut album. Funeral Moth formed back in 2005 and, as common in the ancient Japanese tradition, have been cautiously, slowly, firmly evolving, step by step, until their debut album is finally unleashed! Funeral Moth is made up of members and ex-members from other Japanese bands such as Coffins, Psycho To Black, Deathchurch and Realm. "Dense Fog" instills eerie melodies by 2 guitars and a 6-strings bass guitar, minimalist yet smashing drums, and growling guttural voice. Extremely slow rhythm and contrast of dark tranquillity versus extreme aggression. Here's 4 songs, about 74 minutes of extreme Doom that should be so! Justin Hartwig from Mournful Congregation contributed excellent lead guitar. This is very resembling of late era Corrupted, with Funeral Moth's own sound though.

This instrumental voyage will take you to the highest peaks in a crystal-clear sunny day only to drag you to the blackest abyssal ocean's depths right afterwards. Includes brand new artwork.

For their debut album will be out within 2015, we felt the need to arrange a very limited vinyl version of their one and only demo tape. Serpents Lair are leading the new breed of Scandi Black, and they've crafted two long intrincate, technical, complex yet feral, raw, merciless pieces of their own Black Metal brand. Few new bands can claim to possses their own distinctive sound since the very first recording, Serpents Lair are one of the chosen. This is destined to become a classic in the genre in the years to come.

Band:MASTER
Album:FUNERAL BITCH - 1985
Label:DOOMENTIA
Format:CD
Genre:Death Metal
This is the story of an album that refuses to die, no matter what. This is the story of MASTER‘s doomed-from-the-start first attempt at recording a full-length… See, when the band (then already led by Paul Speckmann on bass and vocals and completed Chris Mittleburn on guitar and Bill Schmidt on drums) had signed with legendary US company COMBAT RECORDS on December 31st, 1984, the plan was to get into the studio asap in order to lay on tape whatever material the band had in store back then, including „Mangled Dehumanization“ and „Re-Entry and Destruction“ recorded with DEATHSTRIKE few months prior. Having recently lost his father, Speckmann vowed to invest all the money he got from the inheritance and the band locked themselves up in Seagrape studio. Alas, soon disagreements rose with COMBAT and in the middle of the session, their recording contract was cancelled, leaving them no choice but to abort the whole project after seven tracks had been recorded. Although the result was never officially released until much later, rough mixes soon circulated through the tape-trading circuit, making a huge impression on many future big names of the genre, like Mick Harris from NAPALM DEATH, Bill Steer of CARCASS fame, Nicke Andersson from NIHILIST/ENTOMBED and so on. Even if most of those tracks were re-recorded five years later for MASTER‘s proper debut album, many fans still hold those original and raw versions as the ultimate MASTER recording.
Regardless of the fact that these songs have been issued officially twice on CD - ten years ago by DISPLEASED RECORDS as ‚Unreleased Album‘ and earlier this year by VIC RECORDS, this time around they are being released under the new moniker ‚Unknown Soldier‘ with an exclusive cover done by Mark Riddick. This is the first timethese tracks are being made available on vinyl. Even if it includes the same four bonus tracks as the CD version, to make it even more special, it‘s been once again given a new title (‚Funeral Bitch‘) and a new, more fitting and blasphemous artwork, rounded up with the usual high quality standards DOOMENTIA is known for. So, as Speckmann said it himself in the song that gave the band its name: „We are your Masters/So set your soul free!“

Freshly off from their Czech tour with Dr. LIVING DEAD celebrated by the release of the highly-praised split LP with INTERMENT (already released by, you’ve guessed it, DOOMENTIA), BRUTALLY DECEASED have wasted no time bowing once again in front of the old Swedeath altar. While some hide behind so-called progressive tags and others deny the evidence, the quintet have never denied what their goal was from day one and ‘Black Infernal Vortex’ is once again no exception!
Recorded at the Davos studio last April like all their previous releases and still boosting former and current members of various veterans of the Czech extreme metal scene such as JIG-AI, HEAVING EARTH, or PSYCHOTIC DESPAIR, those nine brand new songs take the heritage of their 2010’s debut ‘Dead Lovers’ Guide’ and run with it further down the abyss. Its striking cover designed by Paolo Girardi (BLAPSHEMOPHAGER, INQUISITION, CRAVEN IDOL etc.) is the perfect reflection of what those thirty minutes have in store, a totally uncompromised, raging and raw-as-fuck take on the classic sound of the Swedish school of death, yet with its own rabid-like flair. Old-school it may be but alive, well and ready to kill it is!

When everyone expected the end of the world, they decided to follow the path of Metal Gods. Wolfpack consists of five guys, who after a several years of „struggles” with music, decided to bring a little bit of „loftiness and fineness” to their craft. The beginning of 2014 brings their first studio recordings, which holds four powerful tracks.

Band:ONELEGMAN
Album:DO YOU REALLY THINK...
Label:BUIL2KILL
Format:CD
Genre:Metal
ONELEGMAN was born in 2003 in the underground music scene of Reggio Emilia, Italy. The first 2007 Demo is welcomed by the Italian specialized press as the best self-produced EP of the year. In 2011, the first official album “The Crack” is produced in cooperation with DysFUNCTION Production. The record is released by Buil2Kill Records and promoted by Nadir Promotion, then distributed in the US, UK, Germany and Italy through Century Media and Nuclear Blast. The astonishing critical acclaim of the album ("Absolutely brilliant and unpredictable at the same time ... An incredible band, We should be proud of" – Metal Maniac – "There's no other band that sounds like OneLegMan" – Radio Mammoth – "The Crack is an excellent colorful, extremely strong debut album" – Brushvox – "Simply AMAZING!" – Alone Music Webzine) leads the band to perform live throughout Europe together with Deep Purple, The Misfits, Cynic, Freak Kitchen, Kee Marcello and Lacuna Coil. In 2014, again with DysFUNCTION Production, the band is eager to write a new chapter of its career through an album which deliberately moves away from the past. “DO YOU REALLY THINK THIS WORLD WAS MADE FOR YOU?” is a more structured, dynamic, orchestral album. It’s more focused on details, heavy and choral. It’s more rock. The album is a concept album about people experiencing, living and interpreting the theme of change through a tragedy which will leave a mark on their lives forever. Dedicated to those affected by the earthquakes which struck Emilia-Romagna region, Northern Italy, in May 2012.

Band:RECKLESS
Album:TOO GLAM TO DIE
Label:BUIL2KILL
Format:CD
Genre:Metal
Reckless were born in Vicenza from a project of the singer/bass player A.T. Rooster (Andrea De Lorentiis) and the rhythm guitarist Berto (Roberto Chemello) who had been looking for the proper musicians for years to form a cover band of glam/street groups from the 80s. Besides their picturesque look, started to use two dancers and spectacular effects with the goal to imitate as accurate as possible their idols from the 80s. In this period they recorded a demo containing some covers. Over the course of the years the Reckless performed (with) foreign groups, such as Steeve Jaimz (Tigertailz), Vains of Jenna, Black Rain, L.A. Guns, Sister, FrenchKiss… The band have been working on new stuff for their new album in 2015. The group is regarded as one of the best in Italy and their spectacular performances are one of a kind.

Band:LIK
Album:mass funeral evocation
Label:WAR ANTHEM
Format:cd
Genre:Death Metal
Swedish LIK...crawling out from beyond the putrid grave, of the cemetaries of Hornstull/Stockholm! Chris(ex-Kaamos, ex-Grave, The Resistance) and Tomas(Nale, ex-Chaosys) cracked their heads together and started jamming in early 2014 and with the combined worship for old school swedish death metal they had a couple of songs made. As the year flogged on Nille(ex-Siebenbürgen) joined the ranks as the lead guitarist. More songs where done, and the first ones where "polished" and perfected. Later on Matte(Nale) took on the bass duties to complete the band. The demo "Behold The Beheaded" was made and sent out to very few labels. Just to see if anyone would even touch the tunes of LIK. War-Anthem Records took LIK under their wings. Now the monster crawled out of it´s ancient grave: "Mass Funeral Evocation" !!!

Band:SHADOW REBELS
Album:OVERSLEEP HURRICANE
Label:METAL SCRAP
Format:CD
Genre:Alt Rock
The first official Shadow Rebels release, “Oversleep Hurricane”, represents a new level in the band’s development. After a 4 years break, the band has assembled in a new lineup and this time they abandoned their "guitar-less" sound. Thanks to this decision, the trio’s sound became harder and tighter. Dynamic and bright Grunge abounds with interesting melodies laid upon tough guitar riffs. Filigree work of the bass guitar emphasizes the will of the band to distinguish each of the bandmates. It’s impossible to classify the music to any one genre and template, as the band incorporates elements of Fusion and Jazz Rock, especially in the guitar solos, as well as Alternative and Progressive Rock features. Add the unchanging tribute to the Hard Rock roots, which are especially evident in the Gillan-esque vocals. Ethnic elements find their way into the fold of a very versatile sounding album thanks to the addition of sitar and percussion. Live violins add even more expression to the ballad tracks on the album.

Band:TRIBUTE
Album:NEW VIEWS - LP
Label:SIREENA
Format:Vinyl LP
Genre:Prog Rock
The debut album of the Swedish progrock band back on vinyl in limited edition in coloured stuff, 180 gram, in gatefold cover .
The Swedish symphonic rockband Tribute was founded 1982 by the two musicians/composers Gideon Andersson and Josef (formerly Christer) Rhedin. The band created four albums - ”New Views”, ”Breaking Barriers”, ”Live” and ”Terra Incognita”. ”New Views” was the first album and was the one that gave the group their breakthrough in Germany and Sweden in the middle of the nineteen eighties. Tribute toured continuously between 1983 and 1986, and established a large following among the symphonic/progressive rock lovers. Tribute's music is mostly instrumental. It is focused on rhythm, intricate riffs and melodies. In the orchestration there is plenty of classical percussion, such as tubular bells, vibraphone, marimba and timpani. There is also a strong impact from the keyboard section mastered by Josef Rhedin. Another significant aspect of Tribute is that all musicians were multiinstrumentalists, which made a significant impression on their audience. In 1985 Tribute was joined by french progressive rock drummer Pierre Moerlen (Gong, Mike Oldfield, PhilLynott) who played almost 200 concerts with the band. Pierre Moerlen played drums on two albums, Breaking Barriers and Live. Tribute had great succes and was very well known in Sweden.
