MSG [MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP]
"IMMORTAL"
Hard Rock/ AOR/ Melodic Metal
Year:29.01.2021
(NUCLEAR BLAST)

MSG is a legendary name. After two phenomenal records under the guise of Michael Schenker Fest, a true guitar hero is returning to his roots. By forming Michael Schenker Group (MSG) back in 1979, Michael Schenker laid the foundations for one of hard rock’s most glorious solo careers of all times. And while nobody expected anything less from a former guitarist for Scorpions and UFO, it’s close to impossible mentioning everything Michael has built over the past 50 years, or the countless people he influenced or played with. This, truly, is the stuff that hard rocking myths are made of.Right in time for his 40th anniversary as a solo artist and his 50th birthday as a musician, he resurrects the immortal Michael Schenker Group. “Immortal” is also the name...

Year:19.03.2021
(SEASON OF MIST)

•    Second album of the atmospheric black metal side project from Andy Marshall (SAOR).•    Debut album was release via AvantGarde Music in 2016. Translated as “hatred” in Gaelic, FUATH is the atmospheric black metal offshoot of SAOR’s Andy Marshall. Taking inspiration from arguably black metal’s most fertile and explosive period — the early to mid-1990s — the music channels the unrelenting tenor and iciness of forebears DARKTHRONE and MAYHEM, as well as the mystery and atmosphere of bands like WINDIR. ‘II’ marks a huge progression from FUATH debut album  ‘I’ (2016), with better-crafted songs, sharper black metal vocals from Marshall and enhanced production va...

It is the beginning of a new era. Since early October 2020, smoke is laying over Northampton near London. The machinery is well-oiled, the plan excellent - MEMORIAM have recorded their fourth studio album! The speed the British machinery has been working at since their early days is just enormous and equally amazing. Only back in 2016 the band inaugurated the public about their existence. Since those days the machines never stood still. The British Death Lead Commando caused a big rumble shortly after the first rumors about where the journey would go. "The Hellfire Demos" hit the worldwide scene with their old school Death Metal and left speechlessly torn open mouths which are still raving about the enthusiasm of this achievement today. When "For The Fallen", the debut album...

WHITE VOID
"ANTI"
Hard Rock/ Space Rock
Year:13.03.2020
(NUCLEAR BLAST)

 - WHITE VOID is the new brain child of Lars Are Nedland (BORKNAGAR, SOLEFALD).Eclectic hard rockers White Void are a curious bunch. Forged in the space between the occult rock of the seventies, the no-excuses-hard rock of the eighties and the British New Wave movement, they balance on the event horizon that separates old from new. Aggression from melody. Dream from drive.Add to that the fact that the bandmembers of White Void have their backgrounds in Norwegian black metal, chiptune electronica, pop music and blues, and you’ll see why “Anti” is an album that’s hard to pin down. It’s darkly melodic, it’s driven, and it’s infused with earworms, hooks and licks. Boasting a shameless attitude, though, i...
