NIMPHAION

Nimphaion –sympho black metal band from Shuya (a town not far from Moscow). Since their inception, Nimphaion has released two demo albums and LP In Darkness (2011, Musica Production). 
The band is influenced by various musical genres. Brought up on music of quite different bands (such as Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Dimmu Borgir, Burzum, Children of Bodom, Tristania, ETOS, Catamenia and many many others), musicians of Nimphaion created their own sound that combines elements of death-, speed- and black-metal. One can also see the impact of classical music, and this is no wonder, for almost all members of the band were classically trained. 
The lineup of Nimphaion has been changed lots of times but it only helps things to get better. Nowdays, Nimphaion can be considered one of the most highly skilled Russian blach/death metal band .

DARK MAN SHADOW

Dark Man Shadow gründete sich im Jahr 1998.
Nach einigen Besetzungswechseln spielte die Band im Jahr 2000 ihre erste CD "Incarnation " live ein. Sie bekam gute Pressereferenzen, sowie einen Verlags- Vertrag bei Warner Chappell. DMS spielten zahlreiche Gigs und erweiterten das Demo zum Debut Album " Tears of hate " , was zu einem Deal mit dem label Eknaton / SPV führte.
Die Band trennte sich im Jahr 2002 von Ihrem damaligen Drummer und Bassisten.
Thorsten und Adriana entschieden sich mit Mathias / Ex Agathodaimon als Session Drummer das zweite Album "The shore of straying souls " aufzunehmen.

Während der Aufnahme bekamen sie ein Deal mit Dark music Productions/ PT.
Das Album erschien allerdings nur in Süd und Ost Europa. Es erhielt hervorragende Resonanzen. Diese Plattenfirma war nach einigen Monaten nichtmehr präsent und DMS konnte mit dem Album nicht mehr arbeiten.
Der Kopf der Band Thorsten und Adriana / Sorroth und Samotha beschloss im Jahr 2008 neues Material zu komponieren, welches sie erst 2010- 2011 beim Rolf Munkes aufnehmen konnten.

CLAYMORE

Claymore is independent female fronted epic power metal band from Lazarevac, Serbia.

The band released two albums - “The First Dawn of Sorrow” (2003) and “Lament of Victory” (2013). The music of Claymore can be described as mix of traditional European power metal with epic filmscore influences in the same vein with Manowar, Nightwish, Rhapsody of Fire, Bal-Sagoth, Dragonland and Virgin Steele, just to name a few.

The band was formed in 1994 by its original member Vlad Invictus (guitars and vocals). After many line up changes during the entire decade, the band finally recorded its debut album “The First Dawn of Sorrow” in 2003, which was released on CD and cassete for a Serbian record label “One Records”. The material itself was raw and homemade, but songs quickly found their way to listeners on a radio show called “Demo express 202”. The song “The Triumph” was among the top three most played songs for several months, but political and economical situation in Serbia was far from good for the bands that played metal and rock music. After dozen of shows the band went on hiatus.

In 2012 Vlad Invictus gathers a new line up of Claymore, which plays on local festival in Lazarevac. The band enters a local studio (“Midnight studio”) in February 2013 and begins recording their sophmore album called “Lament of Victory”. Album was produced, mixed and mastered by Boris Šurlan, a very young and talented producer. Cover art was done by famous artist Dušan Marković, the same artist who worked on band’s previous album. After three months of hard work the album was finished on May 13th 2013.

"Lament of Victory" is available for purchase via SoundAge Productions from November 23rd!
