Groteskh hail from Austria and consist of (current and former) members of bands like Hellsaw, Irdorath, Obscure and Vomition. They did record this debut with Mario Lochert (Emergency Gate) at Munich’s Dreamsound Studio.

Drones Of The Awakening is the first Eyeconoclast-album with new vocalist Giuseppe Di Giorgio, whom you might know from his collaboration with Black Therapy.

Once I started to listen to this album, I could tell there was some talent here. There are tendencies to Colour Haze-like jam a little as well as softer Floydian-moments. The band always plays as a unit, never allowing the solos to become grandiose or detract from the song as a whole. Buddha Sentenza are brimming with musical ability and SWLVR provide a platform on which to display these talents.

In October 2012 Thin Lizzy announced that they would not be recording new material under the Thin Lizzy monicker. The last incarnation of the band - Scott Gorham, Brian Downey (replaced by Jimmy DeGrasso), Darren Wharton, Ricky Warwick, Damon Johnson and Marco Mendoza – would be looking to form a new project. Step forward Black Star Riders…

Originally this recording was only recorded for Japanese TV.  It’s the performance Whitesnake gave during the LOUD PARK festival on October 15^th at Saitame Super Arena.  When some songs were broadcasted on a Loud Park Highlights program in Japan, many people saw this, and requests were made for general release of this performance. 

When Nicolas Fromageau (vocals, guitar & synths) left duo band M83 in 2004, he didn't really know what he wanted, except that he wanted to be a professional musician, and not repeat what he'd done before. So eventually he left the sunny shores of the French Riviera town of Antibes, and exchanged that for the gloomy city of Paris, where his chances to find a niche within in the music business were certain to be better.

For those of you into the works of such bands as Rainbow, Uriah Heep and Led Zeppelin or more recently Rival Sons, Wolfmother and Audioslave comes the latest Nuclear Blast signing, Scorpion Child’s self titled album from this Texas quintet led by frontman Aryn Jonathan Black is knee-deep in 70’s blues psych song structures, beaucoup de fuzz, and groooviness.

Hailing from the Canadian wasteland known as Edmonton, Mortillery are on a mission to deliver true Thrash Metal. The band started out in October 2008 with Emily Smits on drums, Alex Gutierrez on guitar and Miranda Wolfe on bass. Shortly after Cara McCutchen joined the band after realizing the band was in need of some vocals.

This somewhat metallic flavoured Gothic Rock band was originally founded in 2007 as a duo in Västeräs, Vastmanslands Ian, Sweden, by singer Fredrik Andrèn and instrumentalist/ programmer Joakim Galle. At that point was still experimenting with different styles in order to find the best fitting approach, and the main drive of the duo was to simply write as many songs as possible, and get as much feedback as possible from the usic business and fans.

Say hello to the band that at some moments sounds more AC/DC-ish than AC/DC themselves do…
