Sixgun Renegades, Hard Rockers hailing from Espoo, Finland are making a comeback! After two strong albums before the pandemic, the band is now releasing their third album in August 2023. SGR combines elements from Hard Rock and old school Heavy Metal without looking too much in the rearview mirror. You can hear the influences from Van Halen, Judas Priest and Thin Lizzy, but it’s the band’s own sound that thrives. Strong riffs, blistering guitar solos, amazing vocals and melody hooks bring you to the journey you have been waiting for. It’s time to hit the pedal to the metal and enjoy the ride!

Keep Hangin’ On” was written in the middle of the worst global pandemic. The restrictions and lockdowns, which seem absurd in retrospect, brought the cultural sector to its knees so badly that it will take years to rebuild everything back. This song is dedicated to everyone that didn’t give up but fought for the appreciation of culture. -Niko Räty

Children of the Sün returns with the stand alone single “Come With Us”. The Swedish rock group released their critically acclaimed, second studio album “Roots” during the spring of 2022, and now they’re back with a new, direct and playful track. Following the release of “Come With Us”, Children of the Sün will perform on one of Sweden’s leading festival’s, Sweden Rock Festival. 

The band comments:

” ‘Come With Us’ to a new era of Children of the Sün, leave all sorrow and troubles behind. Then you’ll become gold! This is a light and forward-looking track that calls for summer and blissfulness. It’s about letting your senses lead the way until you find yourself rooting and floating at once. From where you once stood into the glistening unknown. 

‘The clouds in the sky got nothing to hide, I know that it’s all right.'”

Musically, the song is direct yet playful. It colors the classic rock sound with tight harmonies which beckons Fleetwood Mac and another variety of different influences. The song was written by guitarist Jacob Hellenrud and vocalist Josefina Berglund Ekholm, and tied together by the band during a weekend at Sound Society (Gävle, Sweden). 

“Come With Us” is released by The Sign Records and is available on all streaming platforms from the 2nd of June.

Magic and wonder are an exclusive part of Finnish metal sagas.
This music represents the sound of falling snow, howling wolves, shining stars and the flickering spirits of the northern lights like no other.

VALKEAT are the latest ambassadors of this Finnish cultural heritage.

The new masterpiece “Fireborn” will be released on August 18, 2023 via Reaper Entertainment.
The band will play a release show as part of this year’s Summer Breeze Open-Air.

That something big is coming here is already proved by the first harbinger. The first digital single “Tribe” is now available on all major streaming platforms.

The band comments:
“It’s crazy to think this video is finally coming out after all the hard work we put into it. Filmed over 6 months all across Finland from northern Lapland to southern Helsinki, we really gave this artwork our all to make it as good and epic as we can. Inspired mainly by Lord of the Rings and Vikings, we really wanted to make an epic masterpiece of a video with Finnish mythology, shamans, monsters and magic. Really hope you all enjoy it!
 Also with the song TRIBE we are debuting our new symphonic folk metal style that represents our new sound for the second album. The modern metal is still there, but it’s also orchestral and more epic than ever before. And sung in English for the first time. Hope you all like the song!”

“Fireborn” is the album that will lead a new generation of Finnish Modern Folk & Symphonic Metal. A new beginning, a new perspective on those magical, otherworldly melodies that have delighted us for decades. We can’t really believe ourselves what this band has created here – “Fireborn” is a flaming, uplifting, enchanted love letter to Finland and its thousand wonders.

VOID OF ANIMUS Release Debut Album “The Essence”

📸 Marcel Peter & Dennis Herbert

German Explosive Alternative Metallers VOID OF ANIMUS have unleashed their debut album “The Essence”.

Banjo, tambura, gong and even taikos – confidently embedded in hard-hitting ALTERNATIVE METAL!
Just as play-culturally impressive as effortlessly convincing VOID OF ANIMUS reveal their damn brute material!

And with all the infectiously lively, but also really skillfully celebrated finesses in it, the fabulously well-rehearsed guys even let it crack deliciously – after all, every song is massively enhanced by captivating melodies and catchy structures.

Even vocally, the group, ambitious to the hilt, doesn’t have to shy away from any comparisons, even in the international arena of the profession – quite the opposite, in fact, because everything is just right here.

And the top fit Bavarian formation shows that all the – especially in the music media often overrepresented – US-American genre greats are by no means the only ones who have it when it comes to slamming, nasty Alternative Metal with a fat groove side!

TRYLION Present New Video ‘Black Clay’ + Announce New Album

Polish TRYLION, playing progressive metal / djent, have presented a video to their new song “Black Clay“. This is a foretaste of the new album that the band is currently recording.

The song and video were created almost entirely by the band along with an artist called SHAO. Emil Reitan from Icicle Studios – known for example from the band Frostbitt is responsible for the mix and mastering.

Team comment:
“The song tells about the fragility of man in relation to nature – it refers to many symbols and metaphors – the existence of man as a small part of the whole. The material published on YouTube contains everything we love – we try to combine art with music, because in our opinion it is inseparable. We’ve been working on the song for quite a long time – it’s definitely the most time-consuming and complex project we’ve worked on. We’re very pleased with the effect and we hope it will find its audience“.

Goldsworthy’s third album cover for the band features the bands “unofficial mascot”, sometimes referred to as “the Rat God”, who was on the group’s 2021 debut “Rat°God”, as well as 2022’s follow-up album “Fearsick”.

  1. Civilized Holocaust
  2. Final Credits
  3. Panic Prayer
  4. Godzilla
  5. The Mold Testament (live)
