BIO:

 

Dutch symphonic rockers DELAIN have been releasing and performing their signature catchy melodic metal sound worldwide for over a decade now. 

The six albums on their name include guest performances from the titans of the scene, among others: Sharon Den Adel (WITHIN TEMPTATION), Marco Hietala (NIGHTWISH), Alissa White-Gluz (ARCH ENEMY), Burton C. Bell (FEAR FACTORY).Having toured the globe with bands like NIGHTWISH, SABATON and WITHIN TEMPTATION, and having rocked festivals like WACKEN, GRASPOP, DOWNLOAD and FORTAROCK, DELAIN have strongly carved their niche within the scene.

APOCALYPSE & CHILL is the follow up to their chart hitting record Moonbathers. The album carefully yet powerfully weaves together violent riffs, synth heavy themes and fully orchestrated compositions, while the vocals possess a fresh frenzy that is sure to convince Delain fans and new listeners alike. 

Running as a red thread through the album thematically is a sense of impending doom and human indifference to it.

“We think this APOCALYPSE & CHILL will surprise our listeners” the band states. “It is heavy with new influences and we’re really curious to find out how our audience will respond to that. However, it also deepens the sounds and atmospheres that people have come to know from us. This album is taking all of that to the next level. We are very excited about this release and can’t wait to share it with the world.”

The album brings listeners 11 brand new tracks, including guest appearance by Beast In Black’s Yannis Papadoupolis, 2 full bonus tracks, and three orchestral tracks of film score quality, that will transport listeners to a different world.

Dystopia or utopia? You decide.

BIO:



Dismal - The Waltz Of Mind is an italian gothic/alternative band. 

The first official band's release has been issued in November 1998 on Pagan Records&Audioglobe dist., it has been called “Fiaba Lacrimevole - like a red bleeding rose in a glacial desert”. The debut album gets an immediate success and soon it became a top selling album. In September 2002 Dismal found a musical agreement with Aural Music Group, another record deal has been signed and together they established Dreamcell11, a division of Aural Music in order to follow and to promote the band artistically and commercially. >Within the end of 2002 the band entered the Gulp! Studios by Marco Calliari, sound engineer of the Italian pop band Subsonica in order to record their second cd called “Rubino Liquido - Three Scarlet Drops…” using a 12-elements orchestra.


Claustrophobic and essential drum parts, waltz and tango bit mixed with baroque and orchestral sound while the electric guitar parts are always more and more left on the background. After few months artists like Yendri (D), Ab Ovo (F) and Stark (AUS) started to remix three songs of this album, “Tre Stille Scarlatte”, “Niveare” and “Esse”, songs available on the deluxe version of the follower cd called “Miele Dal Salice” also on digital version. “Miele Dal Salice” is the third record issued in 2006, the band dedicated a lot of time to this record which is the most intense and bizarre cd they have released to date. On this new effort Rossana Landi (degreed in music) is the new lead singer, playing contrabass too. 

After a short but intense touring around Germany and Italy as well as on very important festivals like the Wave Gothic Treffen in Leipzig and Berlin with solar fake (D), Dismal took a break and (Afelio co-founder,male voice and guitar) left the band due to personal reasons. After this very long break the band decided to enter the studio again and this year 2013 it will see the light the brand new album called “Giostra di Vapore”. Now the band goes forward to create a new sound dimension fusing electronic sound with the classical music, simply modern and antique meets together for a sound similar to steampunk. Lyrics&inspiration are always focused on topics like social psychology, philosophy,poetry,art, alchemy and more spiritual themes.

BIO :

Revenience is a modern metal band based in Bologna – Italy, currently in the roster of Sliptrick Records. The band takes its final shape in the end of 2014, during the recordings of their first album (Daedalum) from the work of musicians active for several years in various projects of the underground Italian metal scene.

Thanks to the heterogeneity and variety of their previous experiences, each member of the band contributed greatly with its own attitude and musical suggestions to the final sound of Revenience: progressive, gothic, symphonic metal and also electronic music influences are present, all elements contributing to the rich personality of their music.



Aggressive and articulated rhythmic patterns are merged with pervading sounds and atmospheric arpeggios, building up a textured background on which the versatility of Debora’s voice and the strength of Simone’s growl can reach their contrast-based full potential.

BIO : 


La banda nace a mediados del año 2015 y fue fundada por

Geovanny Leitón, guitarrista y compositor de la banda y Elías Vega, bajista y compositor. Amethyst nace como producto de la experiencia en anteriores bandas de ambos músicos con las agrupaciones Nebula (2003) y Cántiga (2012).

A inicios del año 2016 y luego de múltiples audiciones sin éxito, Geovanny Leitón contacta con la entonces compañera de grupo en Vintage Band, Fabiola Salas, a quien le propone incorporarse a Amethyst como vocalista principal, ella aceptó ser la vocalista principal y con su voz y melodías aportó un sello distintivo a la banda.

Finalmente en el año 2016 y luego de trabajar con varios bateristas, se completa la alineación actual de la banda con JC Soto, baterista de sesión para artistas internacionales y baterista de bandas nacionales de rock y metal como Zensorial, Seres y Fractured Souls entre otras.

Influencias CANDLEMASS, FATES WARNING, HELSTAR, DREAM THEATER, DALI´S DILEMA y más..

El nombre de la banda refleja la música la agrupación. El amatista (en inglés amethyst) es una piedra preciosa y una de las variedades de cuarzo más apreciadas y junto con el diamante es uno de los minerales más duros, ha sido utilizado en joyería desde la antigüedad por la realeza Egipcia, y en ritos mágicos desde la Edad Media. Así, la música de Amethyst refleja estas características en cada composición, el misticismo y belleza junto a la dureza de su arte.

Los miembros de la banda son originarios de San José, Costa Rica y la sede de la banda está en Moravia (The Amethyst Cave), en donde cuentan con su propia sala de ensayo y equipo, aunque ocasionalmente trabajan en Vintage Studio (Curidabat).

El género de la banda es difícil de definir ya que se mueve entre géneros por la diversidad de influencias de los miembros de la banda los cuales pasan por heavy metal, metal progresivo, metal sinfónico, power metal, punk, jazz, world music y muchos otros, creando una mezcla única que produce el sonido de Amethyst.
