 Boston based Alternative Progressive Metal Carpathia has released their hotly anticipated new EP, 1912. The band states that:- "1912 the EP is the culmination of three years of growth and hard work, loss and repair once as a band and now, as a family.”
A band is not created solely from a group of people deciding to get into a room and write music together, it's not that simple. Once you've found that 'sound', it becomes impossible to ignore that you're now bound to these songs you find yourself pouring every last drop of blood, sweat, and tears into. You will, quite literally, fight for them. It is with those individuals that make up a truly unique and inspiring band. Carpathia and its members have a history, and it all started with Bobby Drinkwater. As an East Boston, Massachusetts native, Bobby has been consistently involved in music, and in 2016 started a nameless band with long term goals. Bobby keeps the conversations short, but has so much to say behind his instruments. Bobby plays multiple instruments including guitar, violin, piano, and drums. Bobby first found co-member Jason Barsotti to join his new project. Born and raised in Malden, Massachusetts, Jason first picked up his drum sticks at the age of 10, and his long term practice has lead him to a fast paced, hard hitting sound that resonates. Jason's humble and pleasant personality quickly takes a back-seat when he steps behind his drum-kit. Bobby had continued his search in bandmates close to home when joining forces with Andrew Miller, the two had met and worked together in a previous project back in 2014. Andrew is from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, but has resided in Lynn, Massachusetts since 2013. Throughout Andrew's life he has been surrounded by family and friends who have been hitting stages in music and comedy. It is no wonder that Andrew's charismatic humour filled personality would follow in similar footsteps. Andrew has played guitar long term in a number of bands both in North Carolina, and Massachusetts. He had transitioned to playing bass in 2013 for a previous project and found his own unique sound in the process. These three musicians had wrote and played music together between 2016 and 2017 as an instrumental band while trailing a number of potential vocalists. Finally, in January 2017, Samantha Alice of North Kingstown, Rhode Island joined as the last vital part of this project. Samantha brought her strong vocal skills and even stronger personality to the group. Samantha's history in singing has taken her from talent competitions to all state choir, and beyond. Samantha was first approached by Bobby after meeting at a local show and sparked an interest in trying out for his new project. It took no time at all for the solidification of this band to come to completion and Carpathia was officially named as such on April 22, of 2017.  Eclipse Records is elated to announce the signing of SiXforNinE, an alternative metal band from Athens, Greece to an exclusive worldwide deal. The band features former Septicflesh drummer Fotis Benardo on lead vocals. SiXforNinE wows listeners with their unmistakably unique modern rock which occasionally features odd time signatures and overtones of progressive metal. Get a taste of the band by watching their previously released music video for the song 'Save Me' via YouTube, and stream the single via Spotify, Apple Music, or Deezer. "I’m really excited to see things moving forward with Eclipse Records," says drummer Pete Outfox. Guitarist George Kappa continue:- "It feels great to know that we’re part of a label that appreciates our music so much! Parallel Universe is a blend of alternative metal and progressive rock that was born through endless hours of jamming and experimentation. For this album we wanted a record label that specializes in our genre and that believes in our music vision. I’m very excited that SiXforNinE is working with Eclipse Records." The band recently wrapped up a new full-length album entitled Parallel Universe. The album was produced by singer Fotis Benardo, mixed by Paul Pavao (Disturbed, Stone Temple Pilots, Breaking Benjamin), and mastered by Tom Baker (Rob Zombie, Nine Inch Nails, Motley Crue). Parallel Universe scheduled for release on August 2, 2019 via Eclipse Records. SiXforNinE lineup

Polish Gothic / Alternative Metallers Arshenic release new single & official video 'Dear Remorse' (taken from the album 'Final Collision') through Sliptrick Records.  Dear Remorse is a music video from Arshenic’s forthcoming album Final Collision. The song has a Doom / Gothic aesthetic with female lead vocals, background screams and symphonic nuances. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kgv1-8UbyHA&feature=youtu.be The story behind the clip is referring to relationships between people living in their physical bodies and other non-physical entities like ghosts, angels or demons, presences of which all of us may sometimes experience. It also can be seen as a expression of loss, despair and abandonment when someone close to us disappears from our life. Final Collision | Released August 20th 2019 via Sliptrick Records Arshenic are: Oliwia Bartuś-Staszak „Ofilia” – Vocal/Lyrics Włodzimierz Czuba „Vlad” – Electric Guitar Marek Turło – Bass Guitar Bartosz Staszak – Drums Official Website | Facebook | Youtube | Instagram | On Sliptrick  The new album from Norway's alternative metallers Drontheim is already available! Entitled "Down Below", the album's concept is rooted in an alternative reality of World War II, and the many “what ifs” in relation to the outcome of the war. The band comments:- "Down below is heavily themed around a naval WW2 concept. Down Below is a reference to submarine naval warfare and the unmarked grave for many unlucky sailors during the naval campaigns of WW2. Its like infernos and screams above, silence and darkness down below. And on this album we dived into the ocean and got pulled down below. I encourage you all to check out the album - give it a spin and join us down below! I'm pretty sure that if you are into industrial, alternative metal, post rock, cinematic and atmospheric music you will enjoy down below." The band is strictly non-political with no collective agenda on any level except the artistic one, but the inspiration grew from a strong interest in WWII in general, and more specifically the German vision for Neu Drontheim - New Trondheim - as the new capital for the Germanized Scandinavia. Lyrically it can be considered part document and part fiction, but as a whole it is focused on the dark and dystopian union of audible, lyrical and visual expressions that enables the artistic atmosphere Drontheim seek to provide. Drontheim plays music on the edge of post-rock and alternative metal, infused with large amounts of atmospheric and cinematic passages, with the sound being sometimes distorted and strict and other times dark and emotional. The members of Drontheim are or have been involved with bands such as Manes, Atrox, Khonsu, Bloodthorn and more.

Tickets will be available at 10am on Friday May 10th via Live Nation. A tiny show by Man With A Mission standards, they play the 100 Club as an exclusive warm-up for their forthcoming appearance at Download Festival on June 14th. A stadium conquering band in their home country, Man With A Mission have also sold out large shows across the UK, Europe, Russia and Asia on their latest tour in support of their new album Chasing the Horizon. In London they have played sold out headline shows at both ULU and The Dome in less than a year. The forthcoming 100 Club show will be a rare opportunity for fans to get up close and personal with the wolf collective. The sheer scale of Man With A Mission is no better demonstrated than in the incredible video for their new single ‘Fly Again 2019’, filmed at the band’s massive show at the Hanshin Koshien Stadium last year. Originally released as the B-side of their debut single in Japan in 2011, ‘Fly Again’ was quick to turn into a tearaway hit for Man With A Mission in their homeland. It is a huge live favourite with fans of the Japanese rock phenomenon and the immense demand for the track has not let up in eight years. Man With A Mission have now re-recorded it for an international release proper as ‘Fly Again 2019’; a hi-octane cut with danceable rock riffs, vinyl scratching and one of the most addictive and inescapable choruses ever to come out of Asia. ‘Fly Again 2019’ is available to stream on YouTube now, and will be made available to download and listen on all streaming platforms from May 10th worldwide on the same day tickets are available for the 100 Club show. Man With A Mission are:- Tokyo Tanaka – vocals / Jean-Ken Johnny – vocals & guitar Kamikaze Boy – bass / DJ Santa Monica – DJ / Spear Rib – drums  Arshenic is a rock/metal band from Poland. The music of Arshenic is inspired by such trends as art rock, alternative metal, progressive rock, goth metal, melodic metal and dark rock. The name of the band is a reference to arsenic, which is a poison and also a cure. That duality can be easily heard in the group’s songs. A strong female charismatic image is the calling card of the band and the sound is mainly defined by the various types of female vocals, both singing and screaming, clean and distorted guitars, diverse bass parts and dynamic drum playing with a little flavour of electronics, cellos and orchestral sounds in the background. Arshenic’s lyrics cover topics like individualism, self-expression and inner emotional states and are written mostly in a dark poetic manner. The group was formed in 2007 in Poland by the vocalist Ofilia. That same year, Arshenic recorded material for their first EP. After that the group played numerous concerts and went on tour around Poland as a support for leading goth rock groups in their country while also recording their first promotional album. In 2015, after a 3 year hiatus and line-up changes, Arshenic started to work on new material which culminated in the EP Erased in 2016 plus the single and video for the track Monster. In 2018, the music video Unspoken was released which tells a twisted story about spirituality. Their new album Final Collision is set for release via Sliptrick Records on August 20th 2019 with the single and official video release of Dear Remorse preceding that on May 15th 2019.

The music video of the single is directed by Finnish movie director Jesse Haaja who is known from the super hero movie Rendel: Dark Vengeance (2017). The video is written by Haaja and the vocalist Tony Kaikkonen and starring Australian actress Bianca Bradey. Watch the video: https://youtu.be/7thJTSES3RM Guitar player and composer Teemu Liekkala backgrounds: “Starry Eyes presents softer but also gloomier side of Red Eleven. Tony and I got the idea when we were cooking paella and jamming while demoing the album tracks. At first the lyrics were also about paella, but later we noticed that the composition was worth more than just a cooking joke." Listen the single:
"I'm a huge fan of 1980's horror movies and I have to admit that the story of the music video pretty much wrote itself. Serial killer stuff with 80's vibes and a little twist. Our visions about the story matched right away with Jesse." - Tony Kaikkonen “It’s so rare these days that you get to direct a music video with this magnitude and production value. I think I was in LA when Tony Kaikkonen sent me the first demo of the song and I was sold at once. Filming this really reminded me why I do this for living. Great rock song with almost painfully slow tempo with amazing actress Bianca Bradey gave us lot’s of creative space story- and filming wise." - Jesse Haaja https://www.facebook.com/redelevenband/ https://www.instagram.com/_red_eleven_/ https://www.redeleven.info/  The great fascination for folklore and its authentic implementation determines the musical and lyric fortunes of these Bulgarian nature lovers since the band was founded in 2011. In the Rhodopes, the magnificently wooded, majestically towering mountains in South Bulgaria, the stylishly traditional Aegonia feel most comfortable. The seductively melodic and enormously atmospheric sound of these expressive aesthetes is based on exquisite ingredients from Doom, Gothic and Fantasy Metal. Most aptly, the quartet's music is described as ATMOSPHERIC FOLKLORE METAL.
LINE-UP: Nikolay Nikolov • Guitars, Kaval, Vocals Elitsa Stoyanova • Vocals, Violin Atanas Georgiev • Bass Ivan Kolev • Drums With "The Forgotten Song" Aegonia release their deeply touching debut album, which goes extraordinary quickly into the ear. A noble concept-work that is based on the eponymous fantasy novel by Nea Stand, the first book in the series "Tales From The Lands Of Aegonia". The song "Samodiva" features a sequel to the story told in "The Maid And The Mountain". Official music video - YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSyat22vAqM The accompanying music video was shot at the scenic Krushuna Falls in the summer of 2018. Aegonia will release their further video in May 2019  Hailing from Beijing, China, Life Awaits make their label debut by releasing,their newest single, Better now, through Dreambound's YouTube channel. With a mix of heartfelt lyrics - gutwrenching vocals and fantastic instrumentation, Life Awaits are here to impress and take no prisoners with this first single of 2019. Both new and old fans alike are bound to find lyrics and moments that will resonate within them, be it tapping their foot along to the beat, or screaming along at the top of their lungs, there's a bit for everyone to enjoy. Vocalist Yu opened up about the track:- "Better now is kind of an experimental song for us. We wanted to find connections between the lyrics and each note. I personally suffered from bipolar disorder for a period of time. So there’s anger in it and there’s also desperation. But most importantly, there is an exit from it all. And we hope the song can reach out to those who have the same problem and can find their own way out. This is also the first single release after signing with Famined Records. We are all very excited. And we hope it brings a new chapter to our career." You can stream or purchase "Better now" here. Life Awaits is a 4-piece Post-Hardcore / Alt Metal band from Beijing, China. Established in May 2015, the band gained massive attention since their first single < In Descent> that same year in September. Although the band is at its new-born stage, the band members have experience performing with their former bands all around Asia. This is part of the reason why the band has been named for “The most anticipated and international Chinese metal/hardcore band”. In April, 2017, the band released their music video <You> which grabbed more than 600 reposts and over hundred thousands of views. The music video was also released on Dreambound’s Youtube Channel and reached over 100k views within a week which also helped to the band to gain significant global recognition.
