BEYOND ALL RECOGNITION – Drop=Dead
The highly talented Swedes BEYOND ALL RECOGNITION finally release their brutal and innovative debut album »Drop=Dead«! Vile
Metalcore riffs, demolishing grooves and vocals ranging from extreme growls and melodic parts dominate the 12 tracks on the longplayer.
However, what sets BEYOND ALL RECOGNITION apart from other bands in the Metalcore genre, are their Dubstep elements woven into
the fabric of each song. This creates the perfect fusion between Metalcore and Dub Step with an end result of a sound-landscape that
has never been heard before. »Drop=Dead« will undoubtedly infuse new impulses to an otherwise often very stagnate music-scene.
Without a doubt, BEYOND ALL RECOGNITON is about to write music history!
SKÁLMÖLD – Börn Loka
LIV KRISTINE – Libertine
LIV KRISTINE‘s career as a full-time composer and performing artist began in Norway in the mid-nineties, being the first angelic voice in the
Gothic Music revolutionary scene worldwide. The greatest inspiration for her compositions and lyrics has always been the supernatural,
dark romanticism and the beauty of nature and poetry. LIV KRISTINE‘s latest release »Libertine« is truly a milestone in her career; it sums
up her most important artistic experiences in her life-long creative journey. Her own lyrics and melodies are exceptional through her
enormous live and studio experience since her early youth. For the track ‘Vanilla Skin Delight‘, Liv recorded a duet with Platinum-Goldawarded
artist Tobias Regner, winner of “Deutschland sucht den Superstar“, the German version of Pop Idol. »Libertine« was produced by
Alexander Krull, Mastersound Studio.
PARAGON – Force of Destruction
For more than 20 years, the Heavy Metal institution has been example for how German steel has to be forged – no-holds-barred, heavy
and on maximum volume! The new album »Force of Destruction« stays true to the band’s creed and fires from all cylinders. Heavy riffs,
pounding drums, melodic hooklines and catchy refrains turn songs like ‘Iron Will‘ or ‘Bulletstorm‘ into anthems of the genre. In each and
every second, every song on the album breathes the band’s fighting spirit and sense of the tradition. The longplayer was produced
by sound wizard Piet Sielck, who has already lent his talents to bands like Gamma Ray, Blind Guardian or Iron Savior. He gave »Force of
Destruction« a crystal-clear and heavy sound. Heavy Metal fans know what to do!
SKÁLMÖLD did not bask in the fame they earned for their highly acclaimed debut »Baldur«, but started to work on new songs immediately
after returning from their tour. »Börn Loka« (‘Loki’s children‘) is a concept album that focuses on the story of the siblings Hilmar and
Brynhildur. In order to achieve honor as a Viking warrior, Hilmar has to embark on a perilous journey, fight terrifying beasts and possibly
make the biggest sacrifice imaginable. SKÁLMÖLD’s characteristic Viking Metal serves as the soundtrack for this journey. This time, the
Icelandic musicians even added a classical choir and the unique voice of Edda Tegeder (Angist) to their rich soundscapes. The raw yet
melodic tunes combined with the epic story of Hilmar results in a sweeping mix that goes right under skin and captivates the listener’s
imagination. »Börn Loka« is an original and profound longplayer, that fills the legends of the North with new life!
9mm – Volle Kraft Voraus
If you think that bandleader Rock Rotten and his crew got rusty and lazy after numerous chart entries and well received gigs at Europe’s
biggest festivals, you couldn’t be more wrong! With their latest studio effort »Volle Kraft Voraus» (‘Full speed ahead‘), the band continues
their path of all-out, loud and dirty German Rock, filled with so much testosterone that an explosion is imminent. With an honest and
hungry attitude, 9MM rocks through all the songs in which authenticity and uncensored messages stand in the focus of attention. In the
lyrics of ‘Geh mir aus den Augen‘, ‘Popstars 2015‘ or ‘Mainstream‘, Rock Rotten talks about things that have to be expressed and he does
not shy away from uncomfortable truths. The heavy production serves as the perfect basis for the excellent riffs and catchy refrains. »Volle
Kraft Voraus« is the perfect soundtrack for rebellion, freedom and debauchery!
MAMMOTH MAMMOTH – Vol.III Hell’s Likely
Over the course of their first two releases, MAMMOTH MAMMOTH has proved to be one of Australia’s hottest and heaviest new rock
bands. With the second full length album, the four Australians strive to convince the rest of the world of their talent. »Vol. III Hell´s Likely« is
again a crystal clear, straight-forward and energy laden Rock masterpiece which hits the nerve and offers the listener songs that instantly
stick. The motto of each song is simple: Riffs, riffs, riffs! Around the high explosive sound of THIN LIzzY, KVELERTAK and MOTÖRHEAD the
band from Melbourne finds its own sound and vibe which leads within seconds to a headbanging frenzy! After listening to »Vol. III Hell´s
Likley« not just Australia but also the rest of the world will kneel before MAMMOTH MAMMOTH!
