The new album contains 14 tracks re-recorderd and re-arranged with English lyrics, each selected from their previously released 3 Hungarian language albums.

Although foundations of their music is undeniably feeding from the Nightwish / Within Temptation / etc. school, Tales of Evening falls short on cliches surrounding female fronted metal bands and pay respect to the pioneers of the genre without copying and rehashing the well known trademarks of the style, creating a very unique and enchanting atmosphere of their own.

Temperance is where exceptional vocal melodies, energetic metal guitar riffs, symphonic and electronic atmospheres meet in perfect harmony. Led by a unique vocal triad, Temperance manage to unite heaviness with an impressive level of catchy melodies that will make you want to push the repeat button instantly. Alessia Scoletti’s ethereal voice, the deep resonance of Michele Guaitoli’s baritone – also known from Napalm label colleagues Visions Of Atlantis - and the rough vocals of the composing mastermind and guitarist Marco Pastorino make Temperance stand out and fulfil everyone’s needs. Viridian is Temperance’s first studio album to be released via Napalm Records since their signing at the beginning of the year. Marco Pastorino from Temperance on Viridian: “We're beyond stoked to announce that our new album and first through Napalm Records Viridian is scheduled for worldwide release on January 24th, 2020! Finally, the time has come: Viridian is ready to see the light of the day! We've worked hard during the last year to write our best songs ever. This is our heaviest album so far, yet with a lot of melodies, vocal harmonies and epic modern metal hymns! The recording process was super fun and we really enjoyed finding new, different ways to express ourselves with our music. We really can't wait to spread Viridian all over the world on the next tours - stay tuned for more exciting news!”
Viridian is a perfect blend of green and blue. If you look a little closer at colour psychology, you’ll find that green stands for balance and harmony, while blue is the colour of trust and sincerity. This is exactly what you will get with Temperance’s newest album: the perfectly balanced and harmonized combination of the three singers’ voices, as well as sincerity in regard to the lyrics and Temperance always staying true to themselves.

The addition of guitarist Euge Valovirta (ex-SHINING) as a full member has raised the creative process to a level where, according to Jake E, "Everyone is playing to the point of what is best for the song”. No Halos In Hell is one of those rare albums that defies being neatly placed in a genre box: delivering tunes that are both heavy and dynamic, the record is loaded with melodic vocal hooks and musical earworms.

Siren is a ambitious album packed with melodic metal and groovy riffs. Listen to the Siren:
Band comments on the new album: "It took about eight years of hard work, sweat, tears and pain to create "Siren" , but now as it is released, we surely feel relieved that it is now out of our hands and got its chances. The world has changed radically during the process, both generally and what comes to consuming music. Yet we feel that the album is not a relic from the past, but a relevant piece of work also to today's music lovers." The sound of the "Siren" could be described as a combination of Gothenburg metal (In Flames) and a hint of contemporary low tuned riffwork (Stam1na) with swedish production magic from Fascination Street Studios: Johan Örnborg mixing & Jens Bogren mastering. Album was partly crowdfunded and produced by the band independently. The theme of the album is temptation in many of its forms. Lyrics are not woven together thematically but most of the stories involve temptations in one way or the other, hence the name "Siren". Musically "Siren" flirts with many periods, synths from the 80's, power metal of the 90's and riffs from present day, hopefully creating an enjoyable 47 minutes of relevant music for metal consumer in 2019. Blackstar Halo was originally formed in 1998. At the time the band was called Downfall. In 2009 Downfall's path came to an end and the band transformed to ”Blackstar Halo” - with a new lineup and direction. Blackstar Halo released it's debut album "Illuminated" in 2010. The album was pre-released nationwide in then prominent film rental chain ”Filmtown”. Along the album, a music video was released from the title song "Illuminated" made by Energia productions and Obscure entertainment (the makers of Star Wreck and Iron Sky). Blackstar Halo presented their live skills in winter 2010 with Lacuna Coil and toured Finland with Scar Symmetry. The first time the band performed at international stages with current line-up, was at Copenhagen Live festival in Denmark with Rammstein, Bullet for my valentine, Slash and others. http://www.blackstarhalo.com/ https://www.facebook.com/blackstarhalo/ https://twitter.com/blackstarhalo https://www.instagram.com/blackstarhalo/  Germany's melodic thrash metal maniacs Dissorted have signed a deal with Black Sunset and will release their debut album this fall! The album will feature 10 tracks and was mixed and mastered at Dreamsound Studios Munich (Graveworm, Serenity)! Somewhere between the neck breaking riffs influenced by Exodus, Testament and traditional bands like Iced Earth, the band has found their own musical identity, and this fall they will release a thrash metal album that will kick your ass! Stay tuned! Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dissorted/ Website: https://www.dissorted.de |
