 Poland’s Vidian have exciting news regarding material this year. Riding on the creative wave that spawned last year’s "Transgressing the Horizon", the experimental metal troupe wrote twenty minutes of material which formed the basis of this upcoming EP. As a band who proudly avoid treading over old ground despite their wide-ranging influences, one can expect the unexpected with these four songs. Intensity mixes with immediacy, and motifs that stay lodged in the skull long after the record stops. As their début for Arachnophobia Records, the band are in good quality company, and "A Piece of the End" continues the band’s burgeoning reputation for boundary-pushing music. "A Piece of the End" is due for release on May 25th via Arachnophobia Records. Pre-order information will be available soon.  "Dusk Reloaded" tracklist will be composed by the following 16 tracks: We Are Not… New Kingdom Anything Illusion Et l'amour dans tout ca... BRS Following Their Last Trip Dusk Radioactivity Knot Bells In The Wilderness Solar Insignia Fields In The Nowhere Oh, Happy Days Something Wicked Fall … Slaves The front cover has been hand drawn with pens on paper by the artist Nikolay "Chipi" Saraminev, digitally photographed and edited by Vasil Delchev and Dimitar Naydev and with its setting, yet still flaming sun, surrounded by decaying borders, it represents the raging last remains of sense, bitterly striving for long lost knowledge and spiritual ascendancy, while helplessly sliding into the cold embrace of utter degradation that has embodied society today, which is the main theme of the album.
The album has been recorded at Ghost Warfare's studio in Haskovo, Bulgaria produced and mixed by Georgi Latev, and mastered by Lenko Draganov. RELEASE DATES Spain: 16/05 Europe & Worldwide: 30/05 https://www.facebook.com/GhostWarfareBand www.artgatesrecords.com  His giant project can't be pigeonholed: mystic, magic, rock and bombast meet with lush melodies and create spectacular, epic fireworks. The fans of the ESC have the chance to nominate one of the most internationally successful German musicians on February 25th for the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 in Stockholm (German National TV ARD, 8.15pm CET, live from Cologne). With Avantasia, the most exciting rock opera phenomenon of our times, characteristic mastermind Tobias Sammet creates fantastic parallel worlds with every new release. Avantasia will compete with their current single 'Mystery Of A Blood Red Rose'. Watch the fitting lyric video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjRq72ZBZxs Get 'Mystery Of A Blood Red Rose' digitally here: http://nblast.de/AvantasiaDownloads After he got the invitation to take part, Tobias Sammet thought about it for a while: "It seemed like a quite unusual idea to compete with anyone in art, to play music against someone. It's still weird anyhow, to play music against each other like in the Olympic Games. Anyway, who am I to get in the way of a great promotional opportunity?! Three minutes to show millions that we exist?" Tobias Sammet also can't complain about sparse international fame until now: He’s already played in more than forty countries all over the world, his last album, »The Mystery Of Time«, hit #2 in the German charts. The most famous musicians come in the studio for his projects: Alice Cooper, members of Kiss, Mr. Big, Klaus Meine and Rudolf Schenker from The Scorpions or, for his current project (Ghostlights, out: January 29th via Nuclear Blast), Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider, Nightwish icon Marco Hietala, Ronnie Atkins from Pretty Maids, ex-Helloween vocalist Michael Kiske, Bruce Kulick (former Kiss and Meat Loaf) and Within Temptation power woman Sharon Den Adel. The upcoming Ghostlights world tour will take his project to England, Russia, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic, Brazil, Austria, Scandinavia, Switzerland, Argentina, Chile, USA, Canada, Mexico, Hungary, Slovakia, France, Japan and from March 4th also in ten German cities. Don't miss Avantasia at The Forum in London on March 8th.

Fresh from their performance last year at Bloodstock Open Air in August, Romanian experimental metal ensemble Krepuskul take no prisoners when unleashing their latest music video (which can be viewed above). Here is what the band have to say about the music video and it's background:
"In a post modern, post humanist society, the individual plays the role of a simple pawn, submitting directly or indirectly to new rules. Freedom loses it's essential sense, that is to confront any established order and the psyche is emptied by personality and submitted to the new system on an idolizing way. This is the game that the society produces in a desperate attempt to detain absolute control by any means necessary, thus creating different realities. The individual loses contact with the real world, becoming unconscious and as a result, submissive. All meanings lose sense the moment reality is wrapped in the technological aura, thus becoming the new universe... Psychotherapy is about the way this addictive power game is created. The masses are bombarded with negative information, creating problems that society itself tries to solve back. By fear, the individual is reduced to the stage of a trained animal and someone, unknown, seizes absolute power." The video was directed and edited by Costin Chioreanu (www.twilight13media.com), the technical assistant and makeup artist was Gina Sandulescu, the male character was played by Nikolay Fikov. The song will be included on Krepuskul's upcoming new album which is to be launched in the beginning of 2014. The song was recorded by Adrian "OQ" Neagoe at Liveset studio in Cluj Napoca, Romania (www.liveset.ro). The mastering work was conducted by Marius Costache (www.mariuscostache.ro). In spring 2013, Krepuskul will hit the road again on an european tour called "PsychoTOURapy" and the dates will be announced soon, so stay tuned. www.facebook.com/KrepuskulRomania |
