Their debut And Hell Will Follow was released in 2011, which was immediately noticed by the international Metal scene. It's now 2013, and A Pale Horse Named Death brand new album, Lay My Soul To Waste is finally here.
Rebellious Spirit were founded in the summer 2010. Alongside Jannik and Jens Fischer, there is Silvio Bizer (18, drums) and Corvin Domhardt (18, guitar/vocals) that complete the line-up.

The origins of L.A. Guns go back to 1983 when the band was formed, but this line-up, with Tracii Guns had a very short lifespan and was disbanded in 1985. That same year the group was reformed by Guns, but with other band members. They achieved some success in the late 80ies and early 90ies, but never made the big breakthrough.
Abnormal Thought Patterns from California is the newest sensation in the world of instrumental heavy music. Although the band's name doesn't immediately ring a bell, twin brothers Jasun (guitar) and Troy Tipton (bass) along with Mike Guy (drums) were the back bone of Zero Hour. That band released five records in the 90's and was proclaimed to be one of the best progressive metal bands of that time.
42 Decibel is a rock n roll band from Argentina. They describe their music as "Aussie rock", and their influences go back to bands such as ACDC, Rose Tattoo, Stevie Wright and others in that genre.

Victorius was founded in 2004 by Dirk, Steven and Andreas, who are big fans of speed and power metal. Front man David and drummer Rainer joined the band.

And from one thing came another and it al lead to the release of their first recording 'Unleash The Titans' in 2010.
First time I came across this English multi-instrumental musician/ singer-songwriter, is when I came across his solo debut album Ahh...Laine (1973) around the end of the '70s (well...it might also have been the early '80s!).
Following compilations of White Lion material, albums by Molly Hatchet (a live one and a tribute of the band to its musical influences), Great White, Night Ranger, and L.A. Guns, German oddity label brings us a commemorative Wings material album by Denny Laine (see elsewhere), and this compilation of old Sweet material.
With crushing album after crushing album, somehow multi instrumentalist Munkeby and his blackjazz legion of lethal musicians demand of themselves to kick it up several notches every time they come near a 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.
