UNDER THE SCYTHE

Under The Scythe is a deathcore band that formed in Yaroslavl, Russia in July 2008. Its members came from the groups ‘Scythe’, ‘Fourth Dimension’, and ‘Mind Eclipse’. At that time they made their first demo tape and sometime later published it in the form of an EP release. It received lots of positive reviews on the Internet. During this time the group was also working to create new material and concert performances. Over the last few years, Under The Scythe has given many successful concerts, including performances with ‘Despised Icon’ (Canada) and ‘Horse The Band’ (USA). In late 2009, Under The Scythe released their debut full-length album entitled «Истина в Тебе» which translates to ‘The Truth Inside You’. It was released through an independent Russia label ‘Gigawatt Music’.

SCARS OF SOLITUDE

Viidestä Äänekoskelaisesta nuorehkosta miehestä koostuva metalliyhtye, joka tunnetaan rennosta livemeiningistä, Ilari Johanssonin näköisestä keulakuvastaan sekä tiukasta soitosta. Bändi on perustettiin vuoden 2015 keväällä ja jo muutaman keikan jälkeen se on kotikonnuillaan vetänyt yleisöä keikoilleen ja keikoilla turpaan. Eihän tätä bändiä selvänä kannata tulla todistamaan, mutta humalaiset tuntuvat aina keikoilla viihtyvän.

WOLFARIAN

Our music has an inspiration in nordic sagas and mythology, celtic melodies and culture. We're bunch of music genres and lyrics themes are paganism, battles, vikings. We admire cruelty and beauty of nordic and celtic lands. Bunch of eight art folk metal members leaded by two strong contrasting vocals - rough man's growl and smooth female's vocal. Melodies are gently medieval played by outstanding flutes and tender sound of violin. Lyrics are reflection of history, viking ages, paganism and battles.

ABSORB

ABSORB, was founded as an intransigent Death-Metal-Band established since 1989 in Germany/Bavaria. In the meantime Absorb has confirmed as a solid integral part of the German-Death-Metal-Underground. Two achieved Demos (Last Regain & The Call), become great acceptance by the press and the fans. In 1994 ABSORB splitted up, based on musical deviation. In 2007 the incorporators Pfisty and Jochen reformed ABSORB. A new CD „Dealing with Pain“ in 2010 got recorded in a new Line-up and brought a good commendation through the press. Between the years 2012 and 2014 some occupation chances are done. The new perfect bass player Daniel was to be found in 2013. Since March 2014 the alumnus singer from dryrot, is the new front man of ABSORB. ABSORB doesn’t need to avoid of international comparison, neither Live or on CD. This was confirmed by Magazines like Rock Hard, Metal Hammer and lots of Online-Mags. Many gigs were played amongst bands like Cannibal Corpse, Obscura, Pestilence, One Man Army, Sodom, Sinister, Master, Massacra, Vader, Destruction, Hatesphere, The Black Daliah Murder, Vomitory, Tankard, Morbid Angel, Arch Enemy, Triptykon, Leng Che, Kataklysm, Milking the Goatmachine and many more.  The Quality of their music and performance was proved at the Suffering Life Festival, Winter-Breath Festival, Way of Darkness Festival, Mountains of Death Festival (CH), Christmas Metal Festival, United Forces Festival, Fireball Festival and many more. Without any professional assistance, Absorb went through a development what is important in this day and age; creative capability, professional attitude and an amazing Live-Performance. They would work with a Record-Label, who believes in ABSORB, like the Band does in itself. ABSORB thus far to introduce their music and keep working hard to succeed. As well as over 25 Years in business, ABSORB will clarify in 2015 with their raw and brute Death-Metal, you can reckon with the band.

ENFEEBLE


Bestehend seit 2005 sind ENFEEBLE einer der gut gehüteten Geheimnisse der deutschen Metalszene. Die ersten Jahre wurden damit verbracht den eigenen Stil zu finden; bis zur aktuellen Besetzung 2013 wurde stets daran gefeilt. Das resultat wurde 2014 durch "Encapsulate this Moment" präsentiert.Ihre Mixtur aus Melodic-Thrash und Metalcore, gewürzt mit einer kleinen Prise Progressive sowie sich harmonisch ins musikalische Gesamtbild einnistende Core-Anleihen steht für beste Unterhaltung – daheim in der Anlage und live auf der Bühne gleichermaßen. Bereits von Beginn an zeigten ENFEEBLE durch ihre belebte und emotionsgeladene Bühnenperformance, dass sie auch kleinere Publikumsmengen zum Ausrasten bringen und zu einer ausgelassenen Stimmung animieren können. Pascal Stafflage sorgt an der Lead-Gitarre für kräftig-satte Ohrwurm-Riffs und frickelig angehauchte Soloeinlagen, Klaus Boven begeistert mit seinem stets präsentem, tief und knackig donnernden Bass, Christopher Grüner mit konzentrischen Schlagzeug-Beats und Lucas Brinker überzeugt an der Front mit einer ausdrucksstarken Stimme, die sowohl bei den kehligen Shouts als auch beim charismatischen Clean-Gesängen überzeugt. “Encapsulate This Moment” packt den Hörer stets bei den Eiern und sorgt mit einer geballten Anzahl von Ohrwürmern für bestes Hörvergnügen. 2015 melden sich ENFEEBLE mit ihrem zweiten Album "Momentum of Tranquility" zurück und gehen einen Schritt weiter mit progressiv, kräftigeren Klängen. Die Songs wurden alle innerhalb eines Jahres, hauptsächlich von Pascal arrangiert. ENFEEBLE sind eine Truppe, die sich im Kern auf die Musik konzentriert, die sie liebt und keine Zeit auf Schubladen-Klischees verschwendet. Genau das lässt das Zweitwerk “Momentum of Tranquility” wie eine frische Brise durch den Anlage fegen und ist sicherauch ein Grund dafür, dass die Jungs live ein ungekünsteltes und leidenschaftliches Gesicht an den Tag legen, welches das Publikum zu immer neuen Energie-Leistungen veranlasst.

BEORN


Modern Symphonic/Power metal band from Russia. The band's music Beorn - it's heavy & groovy guitar riffs; beautiful melodies; orchestral & synth arrangements; savory and clockwork bass-lines; powerful tenor vocal.,With the help of a rather unusual music and lyrics, Beorn reveal to us his world - the world of pirate adventures; world of fantasy; world of romance. The roots of the band go back to the year 2008, when Andrey Zvonaryov (Rhythm/Lead guitar & Composer), Alexey Zvonaryov (Bass, Composer) decided to create a new band under the name BEORN. But the story actually began 2012 since there were many challenges the band had to face. in 2008-12 the band members tried to find themselves in the world of music, constantly developing, going many rehearsals with potential new band members, changing almost all the material... This period is a part of the band history and never to be forgotten, but it was an overture, a foreword to a fairy tale. 2012 BEORN turned that page and began to write a completely new story. On Nov. 26th, 2012 the band released an online single - "The Chest of Deadman", which gained critical success followed by worldwide radio rotation. At the same time the band focused on a debut studio-album. After the single was released the band decided to part ways with Dmitriy Cherbaev due to lack of his motivation to play Heavy Metal and his wish to concentrate on theater career. Some time after the ways parted with Kate Sergeeva because of a lack of her time. While working on the album the band was still looking for a lead singer. Many tried out for the part..and in August 2013 the band joined Greg Kryukov as the new vocalist. And the story does not end but only begins...
