BIO :

Two founding members of the band Beyond Forgiveness have

played together in bands for a
better part of 11 years, their firstband Hells Eden formed in 2004 and released a 5 song ep, after member changes and playing out live with local and national acts Hells Eden officially disbanded in 2008 the 2 members Greg Witwer and Richard Marcus kept in contact with each other. 

Their musical aspirations were very similar in the fact that Greg was heavily influenced in the power metal genre and Richard was heavily influenced in the gothic metal genre but both had one big thing they agreed on, they both aspired to play in a female fronted style band, Richard was playing with a band at the time called Anifornum and after the disbanding of Hells Eden called Greg and told him that the current project had the pieces in place to see their vision full circle, Greg originally joined Anifornum as the bass player and after the 2nd guitarist left moved with ease into the second guitarist slot, the band officially changed their name to Beyond Forgiveness and symphonic gothic bliss was born, we started recording our debut album but never put all the parts in place to release it, their fellow founding member and lead vocalist Lynn Brown left the band in 2013 and again it appeared that Beyond Forgiveness would no longer be. Turn forward the year 2014 both members had decided that what they envisioned and what they had put together with Lynn and their drummer Mike Bulach was just to good to let die so both guitarists started jamming together again. 

They were contacted through their then keyboardist of a female vocalist who sent them a rough recording of a Within Temptation song titled "angels" and 2 minute clip of the classical song "o mio babbino caro". Both knew that minute this was the person they had to have as their frontwoman. To their pleasant surprise it was the engineer Talia Hoit who had helped them several years earlier in the recording of their first full length cd with Lynn and Mike, truth be told they had asked her several times about playing keyboards in the project but timing was wrong. 

The pieces were again falling in the right place, their final goal was to bring back the original drummer of the project Mike Bulach after several months of text messages and a little begging their vision was once again full circle. 

Now with their vision of symphonic mastery and the fantastic orchestrations by Talia, with the departure of their keyboardist, they are now recording their first true full length album tentatively titled The Ferrymans Shore.

BIO : 


Suddenlash is a Soundtrack Symphonic Metal Band from Barcelona. Our style is based on a lyric, very personal, lead female voice together with dense orchestrations and heavy obstinate rhythms. Our songs speak of epic stories and about self-awareness as well. Emotion is for sure our main goal.

In 2010 Suddenlash started its way, when the singer Lidia Guglieri met the conductor, composer and keyboard player David Magrané. Since then hard, continuous work has brought us to release a full album in 2013 (Soul’s Revenge), to roll our first video clip in the fall of 2014 and eventually, to rehearse the live show with the full band which we are performing throughout 2015. We expect to record a second album in summer 2016. All of its songs are almost ready and one of them, “Queen of the Night”, will be released during next Christmas as a single.



Our band members are experienced players. They joined Suddenlash acknowledging the opportunity to play new music with high artistic standards. Our show is meant to be as much spectacular as possible, including theatrical features. Our music contains both film music and romantic opera qualities thus we wish to make those qualities quite evident during live performances.

BIO : 



TEARS OF MARTYR started back in the late nineties in the Canary Islands (Spain). At that time the band had clearly a doom death flavor but they already showed the key elements that can be easily identified nowadays, like the distinctive use of lead voices and classical orchestration arrangements to create their songs.

Despite of being in a very restricted scene the band kept growing and earned respect from the national media and his local fan base. They recorded a couple of demos and appeared in several compilations and they had the chance to open for international bands like Dark Tranquillity, To Die-For or Swallow the Sun.

In 2007 they moved to Madrid (Spain) and finally in 2009 they recorded their studio debut "Entrance" which was released under the german independent label STF in 2010, with positive feedback from the international media. Being in Madrid they have also opened for EPICA, Draconian and Dark Moor.

In august 2012 TEARS OF MARTYR entered New Sin Studios (Luigi Stefanini, Italy) where they have recorded their second full-length album "Tales" produced by Enrik García (Dark Moor).

With this new studio work they have polished their style, resulting in a well balanced and fresh mix for the listener, who will be immersed in a journey where the emotions play one more time the main role.

“Tales” will be released with Massacre Records on April 26, 2013.

BIO : 



Imagine the fury, the fury of raging planet expressed in such dark art as metal. Specifically extreme metal. Now add to that layers of symphonic orchestra, with its reachness and deversity of sounds. Lastly atop of this combo rides a true valkyrie, with a voice that can take you to heavens, or to the depths of hell. If you could imagine all of this, then you'll get the basic vision of Esperoza.

Biography:
Esperoza was founded Autumn 2010 in Chisinau, Moldova. Founding members Zoya (vocals, lyrics) and Dmitrii (guitar, composition & arranges) were disgusted with music that is considered today as "Symphonic Metal", and decided to create their own band, that would resemble a real Symphonic Metal. For the most time in past two years Esperoza was focused on creating material and finding fellow musicians, the latter, unfortunately, was fruitless, but the band did not give up that easily. So on December 31 2012 they released their debut E.P. "Tempest".

Concept:
Musically, it is based upon classics of Death and Black Metal genres, combined with arranges for a symphonic orchestra, and a real dramatic soprano.
Lyrically, the band addresses intrapersonal conflicts, personal enlightenment, hypocrisy and malice of society, ecological problems, survival in unfriendly world and to some extent sci-fi.

BIO :

 

The name AEVUM summarizes the meaning of music, the research, and the evolving of the band.

AEVUM translated from Latin, is the Angel of Judgment, the greek aeon, that marks the end of a known order of things and the coming of a great change, of a new system.
Their music is a costantly moving towards the union between the human and the divine, between opposites, between male and female, between positive and negative, in a genre that is the union between classical music and gothic-metal.

The project shapes in the late 2007 and the early 2008 from the encounter between the singer Evelyn Moonl and the pianist Richard. Over the years, the line-up has seen the alternation of new singers, guitarists and drummers, but since two years the line-up is complete and consists of 7 young musicians. The peculiarity of the group is the uses of texts sung in different languages with lyrical voice, clean, growl and scream, and researched music.

Currently, AEVUM have two EPs, Celestial Angels, released in 2008, and Nova Vita in 2012, both self-produced.
At times melancholic, at time powerful, their concerts are an unforgettable experience for the great stage presence and the emotional charge contained in their songs.

The Story - Darkyra Black - Something special, something you have never heard before!

"Upon first listen you may liken it to industry greats such as Within Temptation or even Tarja (ex-Nightwish) but in doing so you wouldn’t even come close. Very few women in the industry are able to weave music in such as way as Darkyra and make music her own muse."

- EvilG, Metal Rules (Sep 15, 2013)

Scene 1 – Dragon Tears

It was through the company ‘Online Recording Masters’ based in Athens Greece that vocalist and songwriter, Darkyra found new counterparts for what was to become her very first self-titled record ‘Dragon Tears’.

Owner/musical arranger George Boussounis formed an introduction with drummer/producer Garry King (Jeff Beck, Joe Lynn Turner, Achillea) and ideas and the Darkyra concept started to evolve between the three.

After the bond had been set three additional close friends where bought in to join the ranks of the Darkyra Black team for the 2013 recordings, guitarist’s Paul Jupe, Betovani Dinelli, and keyboard player Fab Jablonski. The first Darkyra Black track prior to the full album release came out on an official video for the single ‘Tears by Candlelight’ in 2013 generating much interest in the full record. "Dragon Tears" a concept album based on a Gothic interpretation of a geisha like tale that ends in tragedy, love, loss, lust, betrayal and revenge, was released in February 2014, and built instant critical acclaim internationally as a fine blend of symphonic/gothic metal with powerful vocal performances and progressive/classic rock elements of traditional pentatonic music with an overall ‘Cinematic’ sound and feel.

“All eleven numbers here are different but are very fluent and offer up musical highlights galore, too numerous to mention, ensure you keep the CD in the player to the VERY end. To summarize, Darkyra is Dark, Passionate and Edgy and demonstrating fine vocal prowess”

Ravenheartmusic Review (6th February 2014)

Scene 2 – Of Fools and Gold

Now with the first record under her belt and amazing reviews it was time to set the scene and start the next stage of creating songs and music for a second follow up album and plan ahead for live shows and touring.

In January 2014 even before Dragon Tears was officially released Darkyra had already started work on 15 new track ideas ready for an April studio sessions deadline in the historic city of Athens. With George and Garry being based in Europe plans where laid for the three with guitarist Betovani and Keyboard player Fab Jablonski to start work recording drums, guitars, guide keys and main vocal parts for what should be the most amazing and powerful follow up record in the Darkyra story.

Again with a very strong story line, searing string sections and memorable melodies, vocal performances and songs the yet to be titled record will surely prove that Darkyra Black has set a standard very hard to beat and certainly hard to ignore both lyrically and musically.

Scene 3 – Yet to be written .......
