My Kingdom Music

Out of Moscow – Russia, hails this band, that brings us a combination of what you’d call gothic rock mixed with progressive metal, but there is more into their music than just that.

Embrace Of Disharmony are a new Italian progressive metal band, hailing from the Rome region.  They are fronted by Gloria Zanotti, who sings the main vocals, whereas Matteo Salvarezza plays the guitars, and does the harsher vocal parts. So far they had only released a demo and an EP.

“The X experiment” is according to  the band based on and I quote  “a great futuristic concept, a modern fantastic story set in a post-nuclear world where chaos reigns and humanity does not believe in anything…a story that will further develop in the next album” ,   all in an epic /progressive power metal, fashion.

Agony Face are an Italian band that were formed in 2006 by Riccardo Ricotti (g), Alessandro Uberti (g) and Davide Guarinoni (v).

Finland’s In Silentio Noctis were formed seven years ago, with a debut full length in 2010, called Through Fragments Of Christianity (also via My Kingdom Music). And in the vein of that first full studio release, Disenchanting The Hypocrites continues the path of Symphonic and Obscure Metal.

Almost eight years back, Rome-based band Raving Season was formed by female vocalists Federica (raw grunts) and Judith (clean vocals), and guitarist Sergio. When another guitar player and music composer, Marco, joined the crew, Raving Season recorded and self-released their first EP, called The Brightness Of My Disaster (recorded May 2009).

Short for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, this Italian band (current line-up consisting of singer Henry Guy, rhythm & lead guitarist Yorga, rhythm guitarist Jason, bassist Rob Star, and drummer Lancs – the latter apparently a later addition) from Grottammare (a suburb of coastal town San Benedetto del Tronto, itself situated at the Adriatic Sea, almost smack in between the larger town of Ancona in the North, and Pescara in the South) was formed in 2005.

Accuser (vocals, guitars, bass) started Revelation’s Hammer (named after the Zyklon song?) a couple of years ago as a solo-outlet. After a while, he joined forces with percussionist Myrvoll of Nidingr-fame, who still acts as permanent session drum-monster. Accuser wrote some material, which he, and Myrvoll, started to register on master tape throughout the past years (due to different circumstances, it took quite a while before having the whole finished in its basic form).

This is one of those bands with its lows and its heights. I am glad that the lows were situated in the band’s past, while the positive evolution, once initiated at the beginning of this century, did not shrink away.
