Stefan says: “I’m very happy to be part of the VGS family and I wish to thank VGS for granting me the privilege to play this axe.” Swedish Melodic / Progressive metaller Vindictiv and multi national metaller Raven Lord are currently in the studio to record new albums. Stefan Lindholm was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1973 and picked up the guitar at the age of 15 after his father bought him his first electric guitar, which incidentally was the well known and highly appreciated: “Emperador Strat” from the Kasuga Factory in Japan, which he played through a Squire 15-watt amplifier to his neighbourghs cheerful delight. After two years of intensive playing, he took private tutoring from guitarist Mike Wead, known for his involvement with bands such as: “Candlemass”, “The Haunted”, “King Diamond”, “Momento Mori” and “Hexenhaus”. Stefan Lindholm is also endorsed by “Manne Guitars” and “Hughes & Kettner AMPS”. www.stefanlindholm.net www.vindictiv.com www.raven-lord.com www.vgs-guitars.com This Empire Burns are looking for an experienced bassist in both playing and gigging to join the band full time ready for when they start recording and gigging their EP in late 2012.

Titled ‘Unsung Heroes’ and produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa (HIM, Sentenced, Apocalyptica, etc.), this is the hour-plus follow-up to 2009’s ‘From Afar’, and sees the Finnish five-piece – founded in 1995 – pushing their signature sound to bold new heights of drama and excess. “We’ve tried to push the different aspects of what we do as far as we can,” reflects the band, “the sonic scope is wider than ever. The folk elements go further down that path and the metallic parts will absolutely rip your face off!” Once again, album art has been supplied by Kristian Wahlin, with featured special guests including members of Apokalyptischen Reiter plus legendary Finnish singer & actor, Vesa-Matti Loiri.

We're sorry if your town is not on our schedule, but we ask you to please travel a few extra miles to see us, and we promise we'll make it worth your effort."   From today and up until the release date (3rd July - via Hells Headbangers) - the entirety of Mongrels Cross' "The Sins of Aquarius" album will be exclusively streamed here.
"The Sins of Aquarius" is Mongrels Cross' highly anticipated debut album, following swiftly on the heels of their cult 'Whoresanna' EP. Seven anthems of chaotic-yet-poised black/death barbarity, The Sins of Aquarius spans filthy thrashing, downtempo warmarches, and epic metal grandeur alike, with a powerful panache and strong songwriting to the fore: these Australian hooligans definitely throw down the gauntlet and spit on all pretenders! |
