Depending on what info source you consult, the origins of this badass Thrash/Hardcore Crossover band from Texas lay either in 2008, or in 2011. Personally, I don't know which to prefer. Anyway, here's the story according to the band's European label...
Although NVRVD (or Never Void) have already released three studio albums and one EP, they don't immediately ring a bell. Coma is the title of their fourth record and this might be the 'breakthrough' album for these three Swiss. They will release this album through Hummus Records, the label of The Ocean guitarist Jonathan Nido.
Before we start talking about the new album by Bloodlights, Stand Or Die, I'd like to tell you something more about who Bloodlights actually are.
Violent Eve, hailing from Spain’s capital Madrid, were formed in 2009 by Skunk DF-colleagues David Ramos (g) and Edu Brenes (d).
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.
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.
Originally this recording was only recorded for Japanese TV. It’s the performance Whitesnake gave during the LOUD PARK festival on October 15th 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.
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.
