Interlude isn’t just a ‘new’ album by Dutch Sympho-Metal band Delain. It’s a special release in order to thank their fans for their support throughout the years.

Ritual Death Metal is the sixth album by Finnish band Deathchain, and the whole was produced, engineered and mixed at the famous Necromorbus Studio by Tore Stjerna (think: Zombiefication, Portrait, Funeral Mist, Merrimack, Jess And The Ancient Ones and many, many more). When it comes to the latter, JATAO: both guitar players share both bands, by the way.

Acolyte are a band from Manchester, U.K., formed in 2008 by Malekh (guitars, music) and JT (vocals and lyrics). They debut with Alta on renewed label Mordgrimm with a renewed line-up (from the recording line-up, two of the three members did leave in mean time). Before this first full album, there wasn’t but one official release, the Leng EP (2011). The three tracks from that mini have been remastered for this full length.

Acherontas are a project from Greece, once formed as Worship by a guy called V. P. AcherontaSS. After a short while, Worship became Stutthof, and finally the project continued under the current moniker.

This mysterious one-man Post-Rock/ Post-Black Metal/ Shoegaze project was founded in 2011, and comes all the way from the Russian town of Kazan (capitol of Tatarstan, inhabiting some 1,1 million souls, and situated 797 km East from Moscow). Mysterious, because the man behind the project hides behind a shroud of anonymity. He can be found on one local social network, but even there covers his identity behind the monicker of “Constantine Horizon”.

The band started out in Austria as Last Warning and released their first two albums under this name, but later on they had to change it to The Last Warning in 2009, due to an Italian band that had the same name.

Not to be confused with the Rock band from Atlanta, Georgia, which was active in the early '80s (and left us two albums and an EP, but only came to sóme notoriety when later first Cindy Lauper and then Manfred Mann's Earth Band covered a song of theirs), Canada's The Brains is a Psychobilly Rock/ Horror Punk act founded in Montreal during 2002 by singer/ guitarist René De La Muerte (once with Delta 666), bassist Johnny Montreal and drummer Franck O' Brains (who were both wi

This Californian “Punk Rock” band (the classification no longer applies in the strict sense) may have been formed in the late '80s, and so far released several splits (with Slip, UK Subs, AFI, Youth Brigade, Wham Bam Bodyslam and Modern Action), 12 singles/ EPs, two live albums (1996's Live At The Fireside Bowl EP and the 2004 full-length Live In A Dive) two compilation albums, and a total of 8 studio albums (the current one included, that's 1992 debut album Scared

Stryper  reunited in 2005, and haven’t released that many albums since their reunion.  This album ‘Second coming’ also cannot really be called a new release, since it contains only two new tracks and 14 old songs, that have been re-recorded. 

The four members of this band combined their collective experience in 2011 to form Motherload. Immediately they received a favorable review from Malcolm Dome in Metal Hammer for their debut EP. 2012 saw persistent gigging, and appearance at Hard Rock Hell (some sort of festival), which ensured positive reviews in the rock and metal press.
