FEIGD with origin in Vik i Sogn, Norway. Was formed in late December 2006 by Jan. At the time Jan was playing in Sigtyr, that himself & Odne started in the early year 2002. But he made the decision to leave the band, after four years and 3 demos behind him in Sigtyr. Jan wanted to take a little different musical direction, so he started his own one man project called FEIGD.
Jan has played in a few other bands/projects in the earlier years. At the beginning he played in a deathmetal band called Malicious Beauty along with Asroth that have been involved with Sigtyr, and now have his own band Philomels Epitaph. They recorded a few demos together in Malicious Beauty, but it was more fun then serious. So it was buried after a couple of years. Later Jan joined forces with Odne and Sigtyr was formed. And there you have the whole history more or less, or what`s worth mentioning.
Sleepers' Guilt is a versatile progressive metal band from Luxembourg. Their music is aggressive, without losing accuracy and melody. They have compact heavy songs such as overlength epic progressive compositions.
They already played many shows in pubs, clubs and at festivals in and around Luxembourg, which provided them a routine on stage that can be witnessed at their actual shows.
After having released a first self-titled EP in March 2012 they are back now with their brand new second EP “Road Of Emptiness”. Heavier, yet more melodic than ever, they will release "Road of Emptiness" on 28th September!

Im Herbst 2005 beschlossen Jürgen Brüder und Daniel Koinegg, nachdem sich ihre vorherige Band aufgelöst hatte, Heathen Foray zu gründen. Nach kurzer Zeit ergänzte C. Michael Hofbauer als Schlagzeuger die Band. Anfang 2006 fand sich mit Markus Engert ein Bassist, der zusätzlich auch noch einen Proberaum für die Band zur Verfügung stellte.
Etwa ein halbes Jahr nach Bandgründung, im Mai 2006, folgte bereits der erste Besetzungswechsel. Gitarrist Daniel Koinegg verließ die Band aus persönlichen Gründen und wurde durch Safet Pehlic ersetzt. Etwa zur selben Zeit kam Robert Schroll zur Band, der mit seinem Gesang die Besetzung komplettierte.
Nach ihrem ersten Auftritt in Deutschlandberg, beschloss die Band ein erstes Demo aufzunehmen. Die Aufnahmen an dem Demo verzögerten sich jedoch, da Safet Pehlic die Band verließ. Mit Bernd S. Zahn wurde kurz darauf Ersatz gefunden. Nachdem das Demo Forest im Frühjahr und Sommer 2007 in den Rockstudios in Leobenaufgenommen wurde, konnte es im Herbst 2007 veröffentlicht werden.
Anfang 2008 verließ Markus Engert die Band und wurde durch Markus Wildinger ersetzt. Im Frühjahr 2008 spielte Heathen Foray als Vorband von Ensiferum, Moonsorrow, Korpiklaani, Týr und Eluveitie ein Konzert der Paganfest-Tournee in Graz. Kurz darauf begann die Band im Sommer 2008, erneut in den Rockstudios, das erste Album names The Passage, aufzunehmen.
Nachdem sie dieses an diverse Label versendet hatten, kam es schließlich zu einem Plattenvertrag mit dem deutschen Label Black Bards Entertainment, welches das Album am 24. April 2009 veröffentlichte. Das Album erhielt überwiegend gute bis sehr gute Kritiken; zudem wurden Heathen Foray dafür als „Best Austrian Newcomer 2009“ von folkmetal.at ausgezeichnet. Im Jahr 2009 spielen die Jungs von Heathen Foray zwei Tourneen durch Deutschland. Nach der Veröffentlichung des Albums stieg Hofbauer aus beruflichen Gründen bei der Band aus. Franz Löchinger ersetzte ihn 2010 als Session-Schlagzeuger und wurde später zum vollwertigen Mitglied.
Im Frühjahr und Sommer 2010 wurde das Album Armored Bards in den Rockstudios aufgenommen und am 24. September 2010 über Black Bards Entertainment veröffentlicht. Im Herbst 2010 begab sich die Band auf eine Europatournee, gemeinsam mit Black Messiah, Adorned Brood, Nomans Land und Negura Bunget.
Am 3. Oktober 2011 kündigte die Band an, dass Bandgründer Jürgen Brüder und der erst 2010 zur Band gestoßene Schlagzeuger Franz Löchinger Heathen Foray aus beruflichen Gründen verlassen werden. Das Abschiedskonzert fand am 29. Oktober 2011 in Lafnitz statt. Im Herbst 2011 stieg Alexander Wildinger, der seit 2009 als Live-Gitarrist bei der Band aushalf, ein. Markus Kügerl kam im Frühjahr 2012 zu Heathen Foray.
Im September 2013 veröffentlichen Heathen Foray ihr drittes Studioalbum, mit dem Namen "Inner Force" und präsentierte dieses auf der Mid European Pagan Siege Tour, welche die Band durch die Länder Österreich, Deutschland und Tschechien führte.
Das Album "Inner Force" wurde ebenfalls im Rockstudio in der Nähe von Graz produziert. "Inner Force" erhielt überwiegend gute bis sehr gute Kritiken.

WINTER DAWN was founded in Töreboda (Sweden) in early 2007 from the ashes of the band Nightfall by Johan Uvesten (guitar & vocals), Robin Lindblad (guitars), Andreas Lindblad (drums), Johan Olausson (vocals), Kalle Ytterberg (bass) and their recently discovered friend Anders Dahlén (keyboards & vocals). By the time of the first gig in May 2008 both Olausson and Ytterberg had left the band, being replaced by Henric Johansson (bass) while Uvesten (guitar) took care of the vocals temporarily. The first EP "Beyond Redemption", consisting of 5 tracks and including a guest appearance of female vocalist Hilda Geber, was released on 11th October 2008. Hilda joined the band as a lead singer shortly after and stayed until August 2010, having performed on a few gigs and the EP "Wishing Well" (September 2009).
As a replacement, Simon Lindblad (cousin of Robin and Andreas) was chosen, a main reason being the huge amount of stage presence. In the beginning of 2011 WINTER DAWN entered the studio in Slätte with producer Christer Sundquist for the third time to record the EP "Dead under the Sun", which was released on 11th May. A cover of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" was also recorded just for fun, and it spread quickly locally because of the video and its humoristic approach (including Robin unleashing his package).
After this, the band stepped it up a notch by performing more frequently and putting more effort into song arrangements. A lot of inspiration for this came from the new collaboration with the very humble and professional producer Berndt Baumgartner. The song "My Desolation" was to be recorded as a single at first, but eventually ended up as a whole album recording. Before the album was finished, Henric (bass) left the band after performing one last time at the huge gig at Törebodafestivalen 2012. Christopher Östling joined as replacement and appeared in the video of "My Desolation" (directed by Erik Sjölin) and also finished up the bass parts of "By Embers Embraced", which was released 27th September 2013 digitally through Record Union.
