MORGARTEN

In lands with ancestral history, Morgarten was created in 2005, in the region of Neuchatel in Switzerland.
The five brave warriors being part of Morgarten stood up to bring the world to their cause, starting immediately to compose, giving birth to their first songs. At the end of 2006, they considered that their weapons were ready enough to step out of their cave and received good feedback, after several gigs. Using the theme of medieval times, their metal has been described as "both melodic and warlike, transporting you into the middle of a forest at the time of knights" (Eternel.ch). Several gigs were performed, bringing them up to Uster (ZH) or St- Maurice (VS). They could play besides bands like: War of Ages, Deuterononium, Seventh Avenue, Coït, etc.

INCORDIA

2012 wurde Incordia von den beiden Gitarristen Christopher W. und Leander F. gegründet. Nach diversen Proben und lustigem Beisammensein stellte sich aber heraus, dass etwas fehlt. Richtig ein brachiales und aussagekräftiges Schlagwerk. Also machten sich die beiden auf die Suche nach einem Schlagzeuger.
Wer sich jetzt denkt, das geht schnell= Pustekuchen. Ende des Jahres wurden sie fündig. Mit Robin F. fanden sie einen Schlagzeuger, der sowohl die Fähigkeiten besaß Schlagzeug zu spielen, als auch sie mit den beiden Gründern zusammen zu tun und das Ganze sowas von Krachen zu lassen, wie es das sonst nur an Silvester tut. So arbeitete sich Robin aka Mobin sehr schnell in die bereits 4 nagelneuen, während der Suche geschriebenen Songs ein. So kam es, wie es kommen musste und während des Jahreswechels 2012/2013 entstand in dem bandeigenen Tonstudio-Schmieden-Verschnitt das erste Demoalbum "Terramorphous". Seit Mai 2013 hat Incordia auch einen Baass in Lion L. gefunden. Im Dezember 2013 hat Gitarrist Chris W. die Band verlassen. Der Platz wurde bereits im Januar 2014 von Pascal B. ehrwürdig ersetzt. Seit Mai wurde das Team von Kari als Frontfrau ergänzt. Aktuell sitzen die Jungs am ersten Studioalbum, für das eine Veröffentlichung im Herbst 2014 geplant ist.

SPECTRAL DARKWAVE

Formed in a trans-continental pact between twin brothers Steve and Dan Kennedy, the symphonic death metal of London based Spectral Darkwave captures epic fragments of horror from across time, space and the multiverse. Fusing the limitless possibilities outlined in early computer music, European and doom metal, the band’s grinding rhythms and twisted melodies deliver a crushing reminder of the depravities carried out in the name of human progress.

Using their mechanical creation ‘The Slavedriver’ (Strings/FX/Horror) to bring the full vision to existance and with hundreds of shows under their collective belt, Spectral Darkwave offer a live experience unmatched on the unsigned circuit - especially if the venue allows them use of the green, alchemical flame they pack in their flight cases. Their live show is not to be missed.

With their debut album Last First Contact out 30th March 2015, the band will unleash a journey into the many hells of mankind, with each song forming an exhibit in the grotesque gallery of human endeavor. The album weaves a tapestry of horror wrought on the cries of bereft mothers, nuclear strikes and epic orchestral flourishes. 

“We’ve always really respected songs that paint a picture and sound like they’d look. Giving you choruses just when you want and then dropping from massive heights – we hope it hits the spot”, comments Steve (Vocals/Guitars/Programming).

After the departure of long-time collaborator and bassist Ben Bueno, Jon Stokes took up the mantle, bringing a unique power and finesse as well as considerable skill in the production of the upcoming release. Last First Contact was recorded on a range of home studio setups making use of the best digital tools the band could get their hands on over the course of two years. As Drummer Dan explains, “For the scale we were going for, you can’t half arse it these days – no one wants your garage recording, go hi-def or go home!” Vocals were recorded in the positive atmosphere of La La Land studio in North London where the recording really came to life under the guidance of engineer Fred Lagergren.

With the release of Last First Contact, Spectral Darkwave will launch their grand venture upon the ears of the metal masses around the country, world and beyond.

Dark adventure awaits!

NEOPLASMAH

Formed in 1997 under the name of Systematic Collision, after many line-up changes and some demo-tapes recorded, they changed name to Neoplasmah and found their definite line-up in late 2002. Dozens and dozens of gigs somewhere all over Portugal were done and in 2003 they started to record their 1st album "Sidereal Passage".
Unfortunately during the recording sessions some line-up changes had to be done and respective parts needed to be re-recorded. With a final and stable line-up (which remains untouchable untill today) again dozens of gigs were done all over the country, with presence in many well known festivals, and the album was unleashed during 2004 by the label Nebula Records/Dark Music Production.
During 2005 the band entered a hiatus of 7 years and returned again in 2012 to full activity. The band started the recordings for their 2nd album in February and played live a couple of times during 2012. In early November they finished the recordings.

DISMAL DAWN

ПРОЕКТ ЗАРОДИЛСЯ И НАЧАЛ СВОЮ ТВОРЧЕСКУЮ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТЬ В СЕРЕДИНЕ ДАЛЕКИХ 90-Х ГОДОВ. В ТО ВРЕМЯ, ЕЩЕ В СОСТАВЕ КОМАНДЫ СОЗДАВАЛОСЬ И НАКАПЛИВАЛОСЬ МАССА РАЗЛИЧНОГО МАТЕРИАЛА, В РАЗНЫХ СТИЛЯХ И НАПРАВЛЕНИЯХ МЕТАЛ МУЗЫКИ, НО ВВИДУ ПОСТОЯННО ВОЗНИКАЮЩИХ И РАСТУЩИХ СЛОЖНОСТЕЙ И ПРОБЛЕМ, КОМАНДА КАК ТАКОВАЯ ПРЕКРАТИЛА СВОЕ СУЩЕСТВОВАНИЕ В КОНЦЕ ТЕХ ЖЕ 90-Х, ПРЕВРАТИВШИСЬ В СОЛЬНЫЙ ПРОЕКТ, КОТОРЫЙ НА ПРОТЯЖЕНИИ ПОСЛЕДНИХ БОЛЕЕ ЧЕМ ДЕСЯТИ ЛЕТ, С НЕКОТОРОЙ ПЕРИОДИЧНОСТЬЮ УХОДИЛ В НЕБЫТИЕ И ВОЗРОЖДАЛСЯ ВНОВЬ, ПРЕТЕРПЕВАЛ ИЗМЕНЕНИЯ В НАЗВАНИИ И СТИЛИСТИКЕ. ПРОЕКТ ЯВЛЯЕТСЯ ИСКЛЮЧИТЕЛЬНО СТУДИЙНЫМ И НЕ ЗАНИМАЕТСЯ НИКАКОЙ КОНЦЕРТНОЙ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТЬЮ.

ELVELLON

In 2010 the founding members Pascal and Martin laid the foundation stone for what later should become Elvellon. The writing of the music was not an planned process but a natural and first undefined development from many sources of inspiration. After Martin met their soon-to-be singer Nele by sheer chance on a party in late summer of the same year the band was able to find their own musical way. 
In 2012 they came to know Gilbert, who played in an other Band from their hometown Moers named „Ravian“ with whom they just shared a rehearsal room. First he helped out the band by recording some demos and became a regular member on new year’s eve. Since then the band felt more than ever complete and the progression accelerated at a great pace. The main reasons for that were an extended period of hard working on new songs, a lyrical concept and suitable artwork. 
An early outcome of this process was their very first concert, which they played in front of 250 people with an unusual high level of professionalism. The reactions were so overwhelming and numerous that Elvellon put all that gained motivation in the work for their first CD. On The 18th of October 2013 they released the single „Oraculum“ via Bandcamp.com . A 5-Track EP named „Spellbound“ will follow on the 30th of January 2015 as a digital release as well as physical CD.





-SPELLBOUND- (2015)

2. Born from Hope
