The new album was produced by Simone Mularoni (Eldritch, Trick Or Treat, DGM...) and will be a concept album focused on the horror movie "Dead Silence".

We're so honoured and keen to start this awesome coop with one among the best metal label!". FACEBOOK | WEB | TWITTER  Rockshots Records is proud their latest signing of Italian melodic death metal band Manam for the release of their debut album "Rebirth of Consciousness" on November 23rd, 2018. Formed in late 2017 by mastermind Marco Salvador, Manam creates a unique style that spaces on all the horizons of melodic death metal, changing from song to song and touching different genres, but always strictly bound to its main concept. Inspired by bands such as Wintersun, Opeth and Trivium, they create an immersive experience complete with custom stage clothes and decorations to go along with their mixing of extreme guitar melodies, power metal riffs, acoustic guitars, and powerful vocals (both clean and rough) supported by blasting and eclectic drums. Their 9 song debut album "Rebirth of Consciousness" promises intricate melodies, a deep meaning and great story through the lyrics. Focusing on being dynamic and including the audience, they are eager to bring their spiritual approach to life, depicted through melancholic and atmospheric music to new fans around the world.
Marco Salvador explains: “We want to only make concept albums so that the listener can immerse themselves into a journey, embraced by the atmosphere of the music, but still able to make her/his own experience, bringing with them the unique meaning she/he will find in our music. With our future albums, we're also planning to expand this experience with visual art, some movies, and for the third album, we hope there will be a book too, to expand on our visions.” Manam is: Marco Salvador: Vocals, Lead Guitar Fabiola Bellomo: Rhythm Guitar Marco Montipò: Bass, Backing Vocals Nicola De Cesero: Drums http://www.Rockshots.eu https://www.facebook.com/manamofficialmetal/  Italian epic metallers Sound Storm are both excited and proud to introduce the new members who have recently joined the symphonic metal band. Now made up of 7 experienced musicians each bringing their own elements to the music, Sound Storm will feature two different style of vocals both of which are quite different from the previous singers. Due to ex members’ quitting over the years (due to personal decisions), the band wanted something different than before, as they've been craving for something totally different from the past. Sound Storm is a continuous evolutionary process, and these changes are just the start of their (r)evolution. The new line-up is made of: Chiara Tricarico - Vocals Andrea Racco - Vocals Valerio Sbriglione - Lead and Rhythm Guitar Elena Crolle - Piano, Keyboards and Arrangements Massimiliano Flak - Bass Rocco Mirarchi - Rhythm Guitar Mattia Rubino - Drums  Sound Storm know their fans will give the warmest welcome to Chiara, Andrea and Mattia as permanent members of the band both in the studio and live activities as they are immensely talented and will help the band reach new heights. The new members will have their official touring debut with Sound Storm in September and October alongside the mighty Haggard on the upcoming "Bards of Symphony and Metal" tour, it will definitely be a blast! Confirmed tour dates: Tue 18 Sep - Essen, Turock (GER) Wed 19 Sep - Z7 , Pratteln (SWI) Thu 20 Sep - Substage, Karlsruhe (GER) Fri 21 Sep - Backstage, München (GER) Sat 22 Sep - Hellraiser, Leipzig (GER) Sun 23 Sep - Bi Nuu, Berlin (GER) Mon 24 Sep - Markthalle, Hamburg (GER) Tue 23 Oct - Szene ,Wien (AT) Thu 25 Oct - Form Space, Cluj-Napoca (ROM) Fri 26 Oct - Quantic, Bucharest (ROM) Sat 27 Oct - TBA, Sofia (BUL) Tue 30 Oct - Dom Im Berg, Graz (AT) Wed 31 Oct - Dagda Live Club, Retorbido (ITA) facebook.com/soundstormworld instagram.com/soundstormworld youtube.com/powerofsoundstorm  Lux Tenebris, the first new material from Italy's The Secret in six years, will see release next week through Southern Lord, and Invisible Oranges is now streaming the scathing EP in its entirety The Secret ends the extensive period of decay since their 2012-released Agnus Dei LP with Lux Tenebris, the EP delivering the most oppressive, blackened scourge from the band yet. Following three years without communication between members, the band regrouped under the same roof for the first time since 2015 to record this three-song act in sonic exploration of the theme of the sepulchre. With their advance stream of the EP, Invisible Oranges offers in part, "The three songs on Lux Tenebris are the first from the band since 2012's Agnus Dei and as such they serve as more of a reintroduction to The Secret than a continuation of their previous releases... The Secret are a more patient band in 2018, but only in their willingness to let parts develop at a steadier pace. If anything, their raw speed has increased." Stream The Secret's Lux Tenebris EP at Invisible Oranges RIGHT HERE. Southern Lord will issue The Secret's Lux Tenebris as part of the label's special twentieth anniversary subscription series on August 31st with a small portion of the pressing to be available via label direct mail-order. The 12" vinyl pressing bears the three tracks on the A-side, with a silk-screened B-side; the EP will also be released on all digital platforms. Find pre-orders at the label web-store HERE, European store HERE, and Bandcamp HERE. The twenty-minute Lux Tenebris EP sees The Secret abandoning the minimalistic approach of the previous two albums, the band expanding its sound by adding more layered and textural guitar work to the primordial destructive aggression that distinguished the Solve Et Coagula and Agnus Dei LPs. While still physical and confrontational, these songs show no concern for mortality and forget time and deterioration, creating new room for resonation and atmosphere. Lux Tenebris is an ode to the eternal night suspended beyond life and death. The signature sound of the band is pushed to its extreme by further developing the black metal and doom influences reminiscent of Southern Lord mid-2000s catalog, showcasing The Secret as one of Italy's undeniably darkest bands in existence once again. Lux Tenebris was recorded by Steve Scanu and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege and completed with a cover illustration and layout by View From The Coffin. https://www.facebook.com/The-Secret-95794903277 http://thesecret.bigcartel.com http://www.southernlord.com http://southernlord.bandcamp.com http://twitter.com/twatterlord https://www.facebook.com/SLadmin https://www.instagram.com/southernlordrecords  [Photo Credit: Béranger Bazin] The Nordic Epic Metal masters Sirenia are going to return to the European stages again.

The new track, "Night's Descending," features a guest vocal performance by Pain Of Salvation's vocalist Daniel Gildenlow. This is a extra special pairing as Kingcrow will tour across Europe supporting Pain Of Salvation in conjunction with the release of The Persistence. Offers Kingcrow's Diego Cafolla with the new single:- "'Night's Descending' holds a special place in my heart for personal reasons and I love the sense of drama that permeates the song. As soon as I wrote the vocal melody I thought that it sounded perfect for the voice of Daniel Gildenlow from Pain Of Salvation. I talked with our singer Diego Marchesi about the idea and when he heard the song he totally agreed with me, so I contacted Daniel telling him I wrote a song that I thought it was perfect for his singing. Luckily Daniel liked the song quite a bit and told me he was going to making it. When we heard Daniel singing on 'Night's Descending' for the first time I was impressed by his incredibly emotional performance and I thought we definitely made right choice." Tune in and experience Kingcrow's "Night's Descending" featuring Daniel Gildenlow from Pain Of Salvation RIGHT HERE.

Sound is close to Melodic Death Metal with modern influences." Bighate is formed back in 2014 by Andy and Heleonore. They tried to mix their different musical taste, basically bounded to death, thrash and groove metal, to reach a common point. Band is currently working on a full-length album.
