Biography
Black Sunday

FULL ON HARD ROCK WITH A PUNKISH ATTIUDE FROM NORWAY!
Founded 2010 as Psychotic Pain and played a strange mix between synth,metal and rock music. Did some gigs, and demos and then changed their name to Black Sunday before
they split up short time after. In 2015 main man Tricky T decided to do more hardrock style of music, and went into studio to record what to became their great
debut album "A Ghost In The City" He kept the name but no live performances happened and the promotion for the first record was very poor.

Again a break occured. In the fall of 2016 Tricky T again started to write songs for their second album. For this album, the band wrote about 15 songs and 10 of them ended up
on the record. Among them, one old song called "Superstar Hero" that was supposed to be on the first record, but they did some changes from the demo version
and did a new recording. The same with the song "Nobody Cares", that originally was called "Alone". The style is like the first one, some heavy riffs, some punk but mostly
hardrock. It is still the mission of the band to write catchy singalong songs with good melodies and a dirty attitude! For the new album the band hooked up with Mighty Music
to release the second album. As this is written, they are back as a 4 piece band looking to hit the stage for a show near you!

InnerWish comments on the re-issues:
"This is something that we wanted to do for a quite a long time actually! Some of these albums are really difficult to be found and we often had requests from our fans
who wanted to have them in their collection. And besides that, we also wanted them to be released on vinyl for the first time, since they had only been released
as CDs and we are vinyl fans ourselves. After talking with our label, Ulterium Records, both sides felt that now was the time for doing so. Why now?

Because now we feel confident with our label, we feel stronger than ever and we also think that it's a good timing since we are in the creative process for our new album
and this can nicely fill the gap between the ‘InnerWish’ album and our new one. We didn’t want to remix the albums, since we wanted them to have the original feeling, but we decided
to remaster them in order to have a better sound quality and ‘refresh’ lets say their sound. We also made some changes to the artwork to make the whole package more attractive
even to the ones who already have these releases. We are really happy with how they turned out and we are sure that you, our fans, will appreciate the final result.
Enjoy our first three albums, see the band changing and growing through them and wait for our next release!
Thank you for all the support up to this day and may all your inner wishes come true!"

Strong comeback from the Greek melodic metallers INNERWISH!

Biography
The story of INNERWISH began in 1995, in Athens, Greece and in their 20 years of existence they managed not only to be one of the most important metal bands from Greece, but also establishing themselves as a respectful band in the European melodic metal scene.

In 1998 they released their debut album “Waiting For The Dawn” through NMC Records, followed by a split CD together with their friends Reflection, entitled “Realms Of The Night” in 2001, through the same label.

Their second full-length album “Silent Faces” was released in 2004 through the famous German label Limb Music and so was their third album “Inner Strength”, in 2006. The response for both albums was very encouraging, especially in Europe and Japan. Sharing the stage with bands like JUDAS PRIEST, HELLOWEEN, U.D.O., THERION, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, WITHIN TEMPTATION, MANOWAR, RHAPSODY, ORPHANED LAND, OPETH, and BRAINSTORM among others in shows all over Europe and in Greece helped spreading the INNERWISH name.

In 2008 INNERWISH entered the Devasoundz Studios in Athens, Greece and recorded their fourth album “No Turning Back”. The album was mixed by Fredrik Nordstrom and Henrik Udd at Studio Fredman in Sweden and was mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios in Finland.

The quest for a new record label ended when they signed with the Swedish label Ulterium Records and “No Turning Back” was released in 2010. This album was their best album at the time and helped them reach new horizons and widen their name even more.

While things seemed to be perfect in the INNERWISH camp, two member changes made the band postpone many of their plans. First their long-time drummer Terry Moros was replaced by Fragiskos Samoilis at the end of 2010. And then in 2011, their also long-time singer Babis Alexandropoulos had to leave in order to focus in his career as a tenor in classical singing. INNERWISH decided to not search for a new singer but to focus on the song-writing for their next album. After various obstacles in their way, finally in 2013, they announced their new singer George Eikosipentakis.

The first two samples of the new INNERWISH lineup were two cover songs the band made. The first one was BLACK SABBATH’s classic opus “Neon Knights” for a compilation put together by Metal Hammer Greece and the other one was WARLORD’s renown tune “Black Mass” for the compilation “Sons of a dream – A tribute to the Majesty of Warlord” which was released by Metal Breed Records USA.

After these two covers everything was set and the engines started working at full speed! After many months, sleepless nights and hard work, INNERWISH finally entered the Devasoundz Studios in Athens, Greece in August 2015 and started the recordings for their long-awaited fifth full-length album. The band trusted the famous duo of Fredrik Nordstrom and Henrik Udd at Studio Fredman in Sweden to do the mixing of the new album again. This time though, the mastering was done by the also famous Peter In De Betou at Tailor Made Production, also in Sweden.

The result is the best album the band has released so far. Simply entitled “InnerWish”, this fifth brainchild presents INNERWISH in the best phase of their musical career. With a solid like never before lineup, a fresh sound and a nice variety of songs, the album also includes some new elements, mixed together with the classic INNERWISH sound of course. Full of energy, power and emotion, this album is the appropriate way to describe what INNERWISH is all about. And that’s the reason why the album is simply called "InnerWish". The album includes 13 songs that will grab you and despite its 67 minutes of total playing time, won’t bore you at all!

The cover of the album was created by no other than Felipe Machado Franco, while the design was done by the renown Jan Yrlund of Darkgrove Design.
Don’t miss out on one of the most diverse and powerful melodic metal releases of 2016!

At the same time Werihukka started to experiment composing metal songs. After a while the traditional elements became the signature of the compositions. It was only after that Werihukka noticed there where bands that already mixed folk with metal. Many other elements were then added to the songs. At that point Hukkapätkä started writing lyrics

“Consuming The Mana” hits you right in the face with a tale of ancient Hawaiian warrior culture.  “The Alien” follows, with a technical mix of harmonies and riffs, telling the story
of the emergence of humanity's most powerful champion. “Unworthy” darkens the mood and sets the perfect background, as someone battles his inner demons from being unleashed on the world.  “Soul Searcher” with its haunting acoustic sound, conveys the loss of the betrayed storyteller. “Sun Dragon” picks up the pace, while it narrates the path of an Earth-destroying phenomenon. “Transcending” builds to a powerful, hammering attack, exemplifying the unrelenting fight so many are forced to endure. “Let All Despair”, “In The Darkness”, and “Spirit Of Man” are a trilogy in which the “Well of Souls” holds the power to keep Earth from dying.  The three songs start from a slow build to a driving, pumping anthem and then to a melancholic ending where the survival of Earth is still in question.  “Time Traveler” is a straight-forward, power metal, sci-fi journey through future generations. “The God of War” is the heavy closer that lives up to its name.  The bonus track “You Know My Name” is a salute to the late Chris Cornell.  As huge fans of the James Bond movie franchise and Mr. Cornell, both Matt and Freddie agreed that their favorite theme song from “Casino Royale" played perfectly into this tribute.

BAND LINEUP
Mick Box: Guitar, Vocals | Phil Lanzon: Keyboards, Vocals | Bernie Shaw: Lead Vocals | Russell Gilbrook: Drums, Vocals | Dave Rimmer: Bass, Vocals

Founded In 1969 | Londen
Uriah Heep debuted in 1970 with the release of one of hard rock’s milestones, Very 'eavy... Very 'umble, and have since sold in excess of 30 million albums worldwide. They constantly tour the world, playing up to 125 shows a year to 500,000+ fans. The band’s live set features the classic tracks from the '70s and is a musical journey from the band's beginnings to the present day.

Uriah Heep are releasing their anticipated brand new studio album - the 25th in their storied career - which will be titled, appropriately enough, “Living The Dream”.
"We have been together for 47 years and we have seen many bands come and go, so in effect we are ‘Still Living The Dream,’ so it was the perfect title for the new album,” says Uriah Heep guitarist and founding member Mick Box.

Famed Canadian engineer, Jay Ruston has been called in to produce the album. Mick continues: “We chose Jay because we admire his work with The Winery Dogs, Stone Sour, Black Star Riders, Paul Gilbert, and Europe. Jay has either produced, mixed or both for these bands, and he brought a fresh approach to Heep. He has been marvelous to work with."

The band is beyond excited with the material written for the new album, which will include some epic additions to the band’s huge catalog of rock staples and looks forward to sharing it with their fans around the world.
The album will be released in CD, deluxe edition including one bonus audio track and a DVD, LP and Limited Box Set Edition (including deluxe edition + T-shirt).

The band has announced a full World Tour which will last until the whole first quarter of 2019. "The mighty Heep are proudly able to tour in over 61 countries and we look forward to a packed touring schedule in 2018 and 2019. Touring is in our blood and what we have a passion to do, and so 2018 is no exception,” concludes Box.

Band Influences
Black Sabbath | Metallica | Megadeth

HISTORY/BACKGROUND
 
The name 'Penunggu' was inspired by a Sweet Charity song with the
same title; in Malay language Penunggu can be translated as a haunting entity or a guardian of an area/location.
 
Started late 2013 in Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor with the twin brothers: Haireey (Bassist) and Haizeel Hashnan (Rhythm Guitar). They were then joined by hard hitting drummer Aerrichi Setiawan (Drummer);a close friend of theirs. They discovered comfortable chemistry between three of them after many casual jamming sessions together. After a long series of auditions, they were finally joined by melodic voice of Muhammad Hafiz Yaakob (Vocal) and fret maestro Muhammad Redzwan Manan/Wan Tido (Lead Guitar) to finally complete the band as a whole.
 
In early 2017, Fiz left the band after having a hard time to juggle between work and commitment to the band. Another long series of auditions was held to find a suitable replacement. Finally they settled in for the powerful voice Hadzri Hussin or ‘Ary’ as the band’s new frontman and lead vocalist. Penunggu is currently working to finish their first EP which is expected to be released early 2019.

MUSICAL STYLES

Contrasting to the current local metal scene; stereotypically death metal, black metal and metalcore, Penunggu chose to stay true to the roots of early heavy metal/rock, influenced mostly by Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Megadeth, Metallica and Pantera; creating energetic and adrenaline pumping music instead of trying to be dark or too scary sounding. Of course there is a bit of soft side to the band with their more mellow ballads such as "Talian Ayah Bonda" to showcase their versatility.
 
Although initially heavily influenced by bands from the western world, Penunggu later quickly followed the footsteps of their local heroes such as Wings, Sweet Charity, Amuk and May by adding their (Malays and Indonesian) cultures; lyrically and conceptually into their materials. "Our lyrical concept usually plays around current issues and affairs but are described and narrated metaphorically into something more fantasy & sci-fi. This with the lyrical style of Dio, Jimi Hendrix, etc which makes the subject matter more interesting and encrypting to our fans."

Altitudes & Attitude, a collaboration between Anthrax’s Frank Bello and Megadeth’s David Ellefson - two virtuosic bass players who’ve anchored some of the fiercest thrash records of all time – will release its debut album "Get It Out" on January 18 via Megaforce Records.  A testament to the expressive strength of rock songcraft, "Get It Out" reaches far beyond the boundaries of an all-star metal outing.

Members:
David Ellefson | Frank Bello | Jeff Friedl

The Altitudes & Attitude story begins in 2010, when Bello and Ellefson started touring together to lead bass clinics for the amp manufacturer Hartke. In need of backing tracks to support their demonstrations, they embarked upon some writing sessions and discovered their chemistry.
Bello and Ellefson debuted Altitudes & Attitude in early 2014, with a self-titled three-song EP that earned the duo airplay on SiriusXM and an appearance on VH1 Classic’s That Metal Show. Those tracks—“Booze and Cigarettes,” “Tell the World,” “Here Again”—are included on "Get It Out" as bonus cuts, in remixed and remastered form.

Ellefson explains that “A&A could have only happened at this moment in time”—when the titans of thrash metal’s Big Four are older, wiser, kinder and more open creatively. “When you’re still climbing up the hill,” he says, “there’s no room for friendly competition. But once you’ve been to the top of the hill and you’ve seen the view—which all of the Big Four have—it’s OK to break bread, hang out, have a drink.” Or, in the case of Altitudes & Attitude, delve into hard-rock songwriting in a profound way. “To hear other sides of us as artists—not just as musicians and performers, but as artists.”

“The album has the perfect title,” Ellefson adds. “This is music that has been living inside of us for so long.  There’s a big musical part of each of us that doesn’t get heard anywhere else.”
Boasting producer Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Stone Sour, Steel Panther), drummer Jeff Friedl (A Perfect Circle, Devo, Filter) and a deep bench of guest stars including Ace Frehley (the track “Late”) and Gus G., the record also represents the fulfillment of a lifelong but little-known ambition for two uniquely gifted artists. As Bello puts it, “All I ever wanted to do was write good songs. I’ve always been a melody guy. I love hooks; I love catchy songs with a good riff.”

Hailing from Moscow, Idaho
In a society where new bands pop up every day, Silent Theory is here to set a new standard. Silent Theory was created in 2010 by brothers Mitch, Scott, and George Swanger
and family friend Robert James. In 2014, Dakota Elliot Tyler joined to front the band. The Swanger brothers are from the  Moscow, Idaho  area, where they grew up playing music together. Dakota and Robert are from the western Washington area, where they grew up doing the same.

Silent Theory Band
Established 2010
Dakota Jerns - Vocals | Scott Swanger - Guitar | Robert James - Guitar | George Swanger - Bass | Mitch Swanger - Drums 

Lead singer Dakota says the guys are “like family” and they’ve made a great bond. Despite a portion of the group being brothers, they say it really makes the creativity flow having band members who aren’t related. From the beginning, the band has wanted to make music people can relate to. They want their fans to love their songs even more, every time they hear them.

In 2006, while working on separate projects, Mitch Swanger and Nick Osborn by chance did some collaborative work on some songs with a mutual friend. Immediately
realizing that there was a spark they continued writing and playing shows without a solid line up. In fall of 2007 the line up became almost complete with the permanent addition
of Bob James on the bass guitar, and the shows continued.  Finally in December of 2008 with the addition of Scott Swanger on lead guitar, things were starting to shape up.
After the perfect members were chosen the band went from playing small local shows and parties to playing everywhere from Seattle and Tacoma to Spokane and Coeur d’Alene,
with the crowning achievement being the opportunity to play the 2009 South By Southwest Festival with bands such as Metallica, Shiny Toy Guns, The Proclaimers and many more
iconic bands. Over the years the band has played with other artists to include Jet Black Stare, Divide The Day, Seasons After, just to name a few.

In November of 2009 after a wasted summer and an overwhelming stagnant feeling amongst the band mates, it was decided shake things up and revitalize the group. Taking the song writing  in a completely different direction, Silent Theory has been refreshed and is now stronger than ever. In 2010 the guys recorded a rock solid demo, made an appearance on
MTV Cribs where they performed their single “Livin’ the Dream,”, and headlined the Whisky A Go-Go in Los Angeles. In January 2011, George Swanger was added on the bass guitar
and Bob picked up the rhythm guitar, becoming the permanent band line up. The band signed signed with Turkey Vulture Records and headed to Rockford, Illinois in June where they recorded their full-length debut album, “Black Tie Affair”; the album was released on October 31, 2011, and in celebration of the release, the band played the first ever sold out show
in the history of the Belltower Concert House in Pullman, Washington on November 5, 2011.

  After the release of “Black Tie Affair” the band toured the nation in the summer of 2012 to promote the album and the single, “Livin’ the Dream” which was made available on the video game Rock Band. Recently, Silent Theory recently released several new songs including; “Outta My Head” in 2013, and their single and music video, “Fragile Minds.” Their sophomore album, “Delusions” was released September 10th, 2016.

Silent Theory "Outta My Head" Single 2013

Through the years, Silent Theory has always had one constant goal in mind: To always be striving to better themselves. Despite challenges along the way, the band says “playing together has always kept us motivated, we’re all up there because we love it.” The band has plenty on their plate in the upcoming months and they’re ready to see what the future holds.

Formed in 2014, Dark Avenue is comprised of guitarists Barry Lorberbaum and Andrew Lewthwaite, bassist Alan Sauls, drummer Jeff Hathcock and vocalist Mario Cadena. The band’s first recording was "Seasons Change", a five-song EP whose title track was the catalyst that ignited regional interest. It spurred a showcase during SXSW/Austin Music Week and a development deal with Breakout Artist Management, who fostered their growth and transcended them beyond the Dallas scene.

“The scene in Dallas is super vibrant,” explains Lorberbaum. “But there wasn’t anyone bridging the gap between heavy bands and the lighter bands. The heavy music crowds stuck to their bands, and the alterative/hard rock fans stuck to theirs. You did not see any crossover fans. That gap is bridged with our music. The metal fans get their heavy, and the alt-rock fans get their more mainstream sound, and all get songs they can relate and sing along to.”

That middle ground between heavy and light is where the nexus of creativity lies for Illusions. In the center of a Killswitch Engage/Imagine Dragons Venn diagram, the first single “Outside” is colossal and robust, yet driven by dynamic and melodic vocals. Perhaps that’s why it’s been featured on several nationally televised MMA events. Then there’s the song "Una Vez Mas," the group’s first single in Spanish. Its overwhelming response prompted the band to track Spanish versions of their songs for a future deluxe release of Illusions. And let’s not forget the crowd favorite “Maybe Tomorrow.” It won Video of The Year at the 2016 Krave Music Awards and helped them take home the grand prize: Artist of The Year.
“I want people to leave listening to the album like they were right there with us,” says Cadena, “feeling what we were feeling, seeing what we were seeing, as if they were part of it.”

Afire is a melodic hard rock band hailing from Oulu, Finland.
The band was formed in 2016 when vocalist Suvi Hiltunen joined forces with long-term Oulu-based musicians: guitarist Antti Leiviskä (ex-Poisonblack, Brüssel Kaupallinen), guitarist Sami Kukkohovi (ex-Sentenced, KYPCK), bassist Harri Halonen and drummer Tarmo Kanerva (ex-Poisonblack).

So, if you’re into catchy choruses and groovy, solid rock music, Afire is a band you definitely need to check out!

The band´s debut album, “On the Road from Nowhere” released on November 16th by Concorde Music Company. The album was recorded in various locations during the winter of 2017-2018. The vocal tracks were produced and recorded by Jonas Olsson (Amorphis, Poisonblack) and the album was mixed by Hiili Hiilesmaa (HIM, Moonspell, Apocalyptica).

 Songwriter Harri Halonen comments the album: "I´ve had a bunch of songs for quite a while, but for which I didn’t have an outlet, so we started Afire. With Suvi’s vocal lines and lyrics, the songs started molding into their current shape, and we finished them together. Lyrically the album is about leaving and departing. It’s not a theme album, but the lyrics do revolve around the subject anyhow."

Harri Halonen comments: "'Let Me Be The One' is one of the first songs I wrote with our singer Suvi Hiltunen for this band. It might not be the most evident choice as first single amongst the uptempo rock songs on the album, but it does represent well the moodier side of Afire, which is an essential part of what we have to offer."

Vessel of Light are a new doom outfit, but its members are far from inexperienced. Guitarist Dan Lorenzo has spent years playing with Hades, Non-Fiction and The Cursed, and vocalist Nathan Opposition plays with Austin occult rockers Ancient VVisdom.

VESSEL OF LIGHT
Dan Lorenzo (Hades, Non-Fiction, The Cursed) teamed up with Nathan Opposition (Ancient VVisdom) to form a musical project called Vessel Of Light. The duo entered Brainchild Studios in Cleveland to record their debut during Summer 2017. Lorenzo has issued the following update:
“I decided to write about the band in NJ’s Steppin’ Out magazine and I mailed Nathan Opposition (Ancient VVisdom’s singer) a magazine and I think an old Hades CD. We started communicating by email and then on the phone. I had no intentions of asking him to write with me because my musical career is long over. I’m considerably older than him and I honestly wasn’t playing guitar much, but when Nathan asked me if I wanted to write together I couldn’t say no.”
Nathan Opposition says, “Lorenzo and I became friends due to my inability to not be susceptible to flattery. Turns out he’s a really cool guy who writes awesome riffs too. Randomly one day I ask him about the band we are starting in joking fashion. I guess it was the right timing and the right person because we immediately agreed we should actually start a project. Before I knew it he was sending me CDs of riffs and I had lyrics flowing like a faucet.”

The highly anticipated full-length album  by US supergroup Vessel Of Light formed by Dan Lorenzo and Nathan Opposition. “Whoodshed” is the natural follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2017 EP, which received positive feedback across the board, thanks to the excellent unique guitars of Lorenzo and the impressive voice of Opposition. This is Doom Metal with Stoner vibes at its very best, highly recommended if you like DANZIG, ALICE IN CHAINS, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY.

Vessel of Light performed their first ever show Saturday, September 29th at The Bowery Ballroom in NYC opening for Life Of Agony.
The show sold out!

"LOA used to open for Non-Fiction all the time and Joey Z has always been real supportive of my music. We are so happy they invited us to open for them. My former Hades buddies Jimmy Schulman and Ron Lipnicki (who was also in Overkill for ten years) will be playing with us live"

Heroes Don't Ask Why Social & Media Links

Heroes Don't Ask Why is a Finnish melodic rock metal band formed in 2015. Their debut self-titled EP, released in December 2016, got good reviews and radio airplay in many countries from Finland to Australia. The band toured Finland with some high profile acts, such as Waltari. Their Twin-guitar attack is both aggressive and in the next moment, mellow melancholic with a bluesy flow of notes. There’s a clear hint of a Scandinavian metal roots but with an added quest for  tender guitar work.
