Formed in 2010 in the city of Santa Maria (RS – Brazil), FINITA defines its style as Dark Metal, in order to try to give the public an immediate idea of its style, which contains diverse influences, ranging from Death, Gothic and Symphonic Metal, with compositions that bring themes of nature, alternating between lyrical, natural and guttural vocals. In the band’s words, they care more about artistic identity than about labels or styles.
With two EPs already released, “LIE” (2018) and “Above Chaos” (2022), the band is now preparing the release of its first full-length, “Children of The Abyss”, and has already released two singles and videos, one for the track “Gates of Oblivion” – which already has more than 42 thousand views on YouTube – and another for the song “Witch’s Laugh”, appropriately released on this Halloween, and whose video tells a story and ending that proved disturbing to some people.
A Brazilian band that is on the rise and this upcoming full-length will certainly take them to a higher level.
“Witch’s Laugh” is the second single of the upcoming album “Children of the Abyss” and it’s available in all streaming platforms.
Song: “Witch’s Laugh” by Finita

Roman HUNGREY have released their first single and video for ‘Start to Forget’ on all digital platforms. The band is particularly excited about this production, presented in collaboration with METAL ZONE ITALIA, as it is a project deeply rooted in the history of Italian metal, particularly from Rome.
HUNGREY is indeed an offshoot of Messerchmitt, born from a desire to experiment and take risks while staying true to pure metal traditions, but leaning towards a decidedly more progressive sound.
HUNGREY lands in Rome in 2023, initially as a side project, but soon establishing itself as a stable and independent entity, shaping its sound into a Metal style influenced by various sources, with a clear nod to the early U.S. metal scene and progressive tendencies (bands like Queensryche, Fates Warning, Crimson Glory, etc.).
However, the project arose from the need to consolidate an artistic identity beyond genre and method constraints, attempting to produce music as a proposal rather than a response to demand. Influences, sound, lyrics, appearance, and promotional methods are all expressly aimed at this goal. Consequently, HUNGREY’s programmatic manifesto states:
“We are recalibrating oscillations – strong force 1 – small blue planet detected at 7411 ly – electromagnetic 1/137 – we are arriving. Dismantling observational artifacts – synchronous oscillation – weak force 10 to the -6 – We do not travel, we vibrate. Imminent contact. We are close – gravity 10 to the -39 – it is urgent to share interaction with sound – we are with you, in your universe, a single note of the Symphony. The exchange of Talents is urgent – your remaining time of existence is limited – we witness – we tell: for a fleeting harmonic interval, on a small blue planet, a species capable of shaping sound has lived. Your only testament is made of Music. Music is immortality, Music is power. United by Talent, we are here to create sound where none existed before. Particles and waves, oscillations and vibrations, mass, energy, space and time, everything resonates, everything vibrates, everything oscillates, the entire multiverse is Music.”
During the 2023-2024 period, HUNGREY is solidifying its lineup and focusing on composing enough material for an album. Throughout 2024, the band is concentrating on production (with vocal contributions from Ray Sperlonga) and recording (at NMG Studio in Palestrina, Rome) eight tracks. Among these, the first single, “Start To Forget,” has been selected, and a video for it is scheduled for release in November 2024. Following this, HUNGREY plans to release at least two more singles (Moth and Falling) before the album release, with these tracks also promoted through videos. The three videos, created by Tommaso Benvenuti along with colleagues from the film academy, are linked by a single storyline (inspired by the songs’ lyrics), divided into three acts, each set in different time periods. Thus, the videos form a trilogy, starting with “Start To Forget,” followed by a prequel (“Moth”) and a sequel (“Falling”).
The album (CD) titled “Hungrey” is set for release in early 2025, through Metal Zone Italia and Elevate Records.
Stabilized oscillation, assuming appropriate forms, neural mapping in progress. Thought, memory, and emotions at the service of sound. You are a deserving species; Music enhances your awareness, well-being, and mood; it affects your vital functions, yet you still do not fully exploit the potentials of transcendence. Betting on sound will be essential when, sooner or later, you find yourselves in the condition of survivors. Having lost all your artifacts, only Music will remain with you, in your mind, and it will be your collective memory to regain cohesion. You must be ready to make it a tool for survival. We have come to prepare you for this. A simple message in a common language. Music is origin, Music is journey, Music is purpose.
Charged with endorphins, let’s begin!

Heavy metal powerhouse MYSTYC BLADE is thrilled to unveil their new single, “Don’t Forget to Live,” a powerful track taken from their album, “The Master Is Inside,” out via Wormholdeath.
This track offers a powerful mix of existential resignation and a subtle carpe diem attitude, reminding us to make the most of our time while recognizing the certainty of death.
“The Master Is Inside” is a deeply personal and dynamic album that explores a wide range of emotions and themes. Each of the 11 tracks stands as its narrative, touching on personal experiences, reflections on life and death, storytelling, and even environmental concerns. Musically, it’s a rich fusion of intense riffs, haunting melodies, powerful solos, and a cinematic atmosphere. Tracks like “Pyramids and Mystery,” “Song of Butterflies,” “Forever Alone,” and the title track “The Master Is Inside” carry a cinematic quality—you can close your eyes and visualize the story unfolding like a movie. Overall, it’s a mature and reflective album, centered on resilience, facing inner demons, and finding meaning through struggle.
Christophe Danjon is the creative force behind Mystyc Blade. A self-taught musician, Christophe developed his distinctive style early on, focusing on instrumental music. His pursuit of excellence led him to the Music Academy International (MAI) in Nancy, where he honed his skills further. After graduating, Christophe seized notable opportunities, including opening for Angra and Calvin Russell.
As a guitar and vocal instructor, Christophe shared his expertise while perfecting his craft and composing two orchestral pieces, showcasing his versatility. Taking full control of his career, he composes all the music for Mystyc Blade, blending power and finesse to create ambitious and memorable compositions. His music delves into emotional and psychological depths, enriching his powerful performances.
Quebec-based melodic symphonic metallers TROLLWAR continues to build anticipation for their upcoming EP with the release of “The Offering”, the second single from their forthcoming EP “Tales from the Frozen Wastes”. The single further showcases Trollwar’s musical evolution, presenting a harmonious blend of aggressive metal riffs, intricate symphonic arrangements, and progressive elements. The song delves deeper into the EP’s overarching theme of a falling pantheon and the glooming curse that befalls adventurers who dare to tread where they’re unwelcome. The band shares their thoughts:
“This is the most recent song composition-wise. We think that this one is the best representation of where the Trollwar sound has evolved. It contains some great Melodic Death Metal riffs, a good chorus, epic symphonies.. the whole package. This is also the 2nd song where we have a guest coming in to push the limit of the song with astonishing power metal vocals and choirs.”
They go on to explain that the black-metal elements are also brought forward, with an epic evil bridge that will give chills to the symphonic black metal enjoyers. The transitions are smooth and flow easily.
This is the last song off the album, leaving the listener with an enjoyable symphonic epilogue, and giving hints of something greater to come. It is a pivotal piece in the narrative of the EP, representing the moment where the veil between worlds thins, and the consequences of mortal ambition clash with divine will. It is recommended for those who enjoy Amon Amarth, Kalmah, and Equilibrium.
