A handful of brave French soldiers under the command of Major Raynal resisted the outstanding German forces, numbered around 600 men the defenders were capable to destroy more than 3000 of the enemy soldiers but were doomed to fail.

We are proud to announce that Ukrainian progressive metal combo Majesty Of Revival have signed a deal with Wormholedeath for the worldwide release of their album "Timeless". "Timeless" will be released on 31/05/2019 via Wormholedeath /Wormholedeath USA / The Orchard. Statement: "First of all, "Timeless" is a consequence of the hard times of our lives mixed with our sick imagination. It wasn't supposed to be an album, but a revelation. We recorded stuff just to release all the chaos that had been devouring us from the inside. But in a result, we have made a protagonist, who represents some emotions and thoughts of the whole band. So we decided to make a conception based on the things that took place only in our heads, and which would never leave the boundaries of consciousness. An immediate corollary of that is the name of our album - "Timeless". Because you can never tell the exact time measurement of your imagination, dreams and thoughts - unlike music. Every song has its timing and you can't do anything about it. But we did our best to represent other aspects of what's going on in people's minds. We hope that every listener will find something familiar in our music. So you have the chance to figure this stuff out by yourself in your unique way." Majesty Of Revival is a Progressive Metal band founded in 2009. After several demos in 2012, the band released their debut album "Through Reality", which received high marks in the European media, hit first places in several zines such as Legacy, Hard-City, etc. After a few concerts, the band began recording their second album "IRON GODS", and according to the results of airtime the album enters the annual top of some European web media and receives wide acclaim of critics.

Motanka on “Verba”: “One of the strongest songs that has powerful energy. The energy that all of us really need now. All we want to say is in it, all you want to know or ask, you will find in it.” The Ukrainian lyrics in English: Verba - Willow tree A lonely willow tree stays in the field. It is bended above the river. It let its branches down, It cries and fights… Our language is like one of a nightingale. Our land is the one and only. Willow tree A lonely willow tree Is bended. A lonely willow tree Lonely… Our souls are flying nearby, They are praising their land. Its branches are waving in the wind. There are sprouts - you and me. Our language is like one of a nightingale. Our land is the one and only. Willow tree A lonely willow tree Is bended. A lonely willow tree Lonely… MOTANKA about their debut LP: “For the album we recorded ancient instruments: dulcimer, ocarina and throat singing, combined with modern technologies, new instruments and analogue sound. This album is like our child, it grew, it learnt and became stronger and stronger. Every piece of the album is saturated with the mystical nature of Ukraine.We wrote most of the songs in our home town Lutsk the mystical centre of Ukraine. The power of the region remained and still is the same for ages.We have prepared the album for many years and are very excited to finally present it via Napalm Records.” The mix of English and Ukrainian lyrics and instrumental songs underlines the diversity of Motanka. The album will be available in the following formats:
