Normandy, the town of Rouen, Autumn of 2007. members of the local bands Aïdos, Krahan, Mémoria and Greenwald find a common musical ground, and strike out on their own. Thanks to their previous experiences, the band soon starts writing a set of songs with an Industrial Groove Metal sound, which they bring to Normandy's audiences starting the Summer that follows at the town's Fête De La Musique (in truth, the band only played two more shows that same year).
German Heavy Metal band working together with an orchestra?
Say...what kind of skullduggery is this!? According to the info we got along with our download copy of the debut album of this Palermo (Sicily) based Italian “Post Math Rock” (sic) act, this album is supposed to be relatively new, when in fact Qanat already released it back in November 2010! trying to pull a fast one over us, eh? Oh well, we don't really mind as much, you know...because we missed it the first time around, didn't we?
This band is composed of the married couple of Dexter Tortoriello and Megan Messina, and was started in 2010, after they had lived on the island of Papaikou (Hawaii) for a short period.

On our last get-together to update the website, our editor-in-chief had this album playing when I entered the CW headquarters, quite on purpose as it would turn out, because the moment he noticed that I was hummin' along with the song at hand, he readily volunteered the info that this (picking up the CD from his desk and handing it over to me) was his newest “discovery”, and that, in fact, he wanted the album to get the best promotion possible...and was therefore handing its review over to me.
This Metal/ Hardcore act hails from the town of Stirling (once the capitol of Scotland) in the Central of Scotland (25 miles from the center of Glasgow in NE direction, and 36,6 miles in WNW direction from Edinburgh center), and was formed in 2006.
This Aarhus based Danish Metal act was founded in 2006, and as far as I know, they still have the original line-up except for singer Troels Pedersen (whom joined in 2010) and drummer Nikolaj Jensen (whom came into the fold in 2011)...the rest of the band consisting of guitarists Patrick McCaffrey & Anders Berg, bassist Kalle Herborg.
