Following their latest EP, Escape, the band moves on to the second part (Parte 2) of their story. While the first one was more happy and driving, the second part aims to be darker, just as the title implies (meaning calvary, ordeal). However, their music is just as entertaining and fun to listen to! Check out the EP on youtube, and keep coming back to see when they decide to release it for download!… Read more

Review: Fountainhead – Home EP
I’m glad the first album I get to review in 2015 is from Tom, Fountainhead. Tom, the fretless guitarist, at least that’s what we know him for, mostly on his Fear Is The Enemy album, which was highly praised by us and the rest of the metal community, even if it was barely metal at all.Now, on Home, it’s more relaxed than ever.

This Young British fellow *chuckles alone in the darkness* is a figure to add to the Plini-Sithu Aye duo. Yes, Theo would be able to sneak in cognito into any of those two’s albums! And that’s saying something, and that something is: it’s freaking GOOD!
And it’s no copycat, don’t get me wrong! Although he uses advanced techniques only present on Plini’s latest, such as thumb-picking, Theo really has his own compositional style – and playing style, too! Shadowplay, which came out today – September 14th – is a wonderfully beautiful little collection of music, … Read more
Sleepers Awake – Transcension
Sleepers Awake gives you everything you want to hear from a progressive metal band nowadays. Master instrumentation, killer riffs, awesome vocals, long and intricate songs but shorter ones too… Seriously, Transcension will be your best listen of the week, and of the month, and probably of the year!
You can pre-order the album on bandcamp, as it comes out June 17th, or the physical CD and some merch over here.
Like that amazing band on facebook and tell us what you think of Transcension!
