NARROW HOUSE

The first name of the band was FUNESTUM, and it was started in Kyiv in 2008, being first to introduce Atmospheric Funeral Doom in Ukraine. Under this name band has taken part in a number of shows sharing stage with Cemetery of Scream, Inferno and Apostate, and releasing an EP «The Gates of Eon» (Врата Вечности) which is available online.
In 2009 band has changed its name to NARROW HOUSE continuing its Funeral Doom legacy and taking part in multiple Ukrainian doom fests, playing with Skepticism, Mournful Gust, Stoned Jesus and Mozergush. All live performances by NARROW HOUSE were supported with psychological visuals and ambient music which merges all songs in one solid and depressive structure.
After a short hiatus NARROW HOUSE started to record their debut album «A Key to Panngrieb» which has been released in August 2012 by one of the biggest doom metal labels in the world — Solitude Productions (Russia). This album was well received by the audience, making it an extremely promising start for NARROW HOUSE.
In 2013 the band has entered the studio again, taking a new musical direction, combining various doom metal subgenres into completely unpredictable mix called «apocalyptic doom metal». To record its new album «Thanathonaut», NARROW HOUSE is collaborating with famous Morton Studio, led by the respected Ukrainian sound-producer Max Morton.
It has been released in May 2014 by Bad Mood Man Music label marking a new era for the band.

RED HILLS

Why is Red Hills? And what does it mean? 
It’s that simple. The red mine spoil piles i.e. hills (hence the name “Red Hills”) are the main feature of the Donetsk Region landscape. They are scattered around this coal mining area of Ukraine. 
We would like to show the whole world that in Donetsk one can also play good Melodic Death Metal. 
The band’s road was long and challenging. The frequent change of the band’s composition gave no chance to work to the full extent. But it is a thing of the past. In spring 2013 Red Hills became a fully enlarged band. Now, they are like a single big heart ready to overcome any challenges for achieving their goals.

Red Hills’ records:
Demo track “Bullet in The Head” (2010)
ЕР album “Whisper” (2011)

Performed on the same stage with the following bands:

PROJECT E.V.A (Russia), ШИФР ПОСЛЕДНЕЙ РЕАЛЬНОСТИ (Russia), SEECREES (Russia),
DEF/LIGHT (Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine (black/death metal)) etc.

Today the band works on the new materials and prepares for recording the first full-length album.

GUARDIANS OF TIME

Guardians of Time was formed in 1997 when a handful of musicians drinking beer at the local metal pub came up with the idea to form a band. Their first demo landed them a record deal, and the debut album “Edge of Tomorrow” was released in 2001. The album received great reviews and the band made loyal fans all over the world. Both a Brazilian- and a German fan site were made by devoted fans. The band did shows all over Norway and played almost every metal festival in the country.

The second album “Machines of Mental Design” was recorded in 2004 by Massacre Records, receiving great reviews from all over the world. The music was by many labeled as “thinking man’s metal” and were often compared to the epic masterpiece “Operation Mindcrime” for its well thought composition and lyrics. Guardians of Time joined the 2004 “Scream Tour” playing all over Norway, culminating in an amazing show at Norway’s biggest festival, the “Quart Festival” where they supported Slipknot. Proving that Guardians of Time had indeed become a great live act.

After years with no activity, the main songwriters of the band, Bernt Fjellestad and Paul Olsen decided to revive the band with a new line-up. In 2011 the album "A Beautiful Atrocity" was released to amazing critics and ecstatic fans. A prestigious live job at "Norway Rock Festival" followed, once again proving Guardians of Time as one of the most interresting power metal bands in Norway.

Watch us arise now; the Guardians of Time!

BROKEN OATH

It all begin the late 2012, when Lars and Nordan started to jam in Nordan's father's old studio, which used to be the main rehearsal place for the band called "Frozen Fire". A pretty well known swedish band during the seventies. In the beginning of 2013, Lars's childhood friends joined up for the fun that was going on. And they came to stay for the fun, which it was. But however, everyone of them was actually a guitar player at the bottom, they changed their instrument. Lars ended up with the Vocals, still playing guitar in some of the tracks live, Erik continued playing guitar, Andreas was set on Bass and Nordan got to be the drummer. But they did however felt as they were one man short. Especially someone who could take on the solo part, so Nordan invited one of his lifelong friend Robin and they felt like that was the missing link. The band was finally complete! So now the struggle with a name for the band began. It was first called "One Life" which just simply is fucking stupid for a metal band, we finally came up with something who could actually relate good with our lyrics. So the name was set, Broken Oath it was! We started of to create a few songs and got in touch with Ronny Milianowicz (Dionysus, Sinergy, Saint Deamon), where we got to record the songs.
Ronny thought it all sounded good, oh well, those two songs we started of with atleast, so he contacted sliptrick records who instantly got interrested but required better overall quality. So Ronny wanted to be our producer and we were really excited to have such a fantastic guy to be our producer, so we continued our recordings and in June, all of the 11 tracks were recorded, mixed and mastered! Mastering was made by Jens Bogren! We got in touch with Sliptrick again and we decided to jump one the train to ride along with them. So now, almost 2 years after the first note that ever was taken by Broken Oath, we got ourselves a great Record Company behind our backs, a great producer who we'd like to call our friend and a fantastic group of 5 badass guys who love what they do. The future is still not clear, but we promise that we'll always make our best to rock the shit out of you!

2. I'll
3. Broken Oath
4. No Control
