AEON GODS will release the debut album “King Of Gods” on November 22nd through Scarlet Records.
After the long-standing symphonic metal unit Aeternitas dissolved, their masterminds Anja and Alex Hunzinger immediately conjured up a new concept and found a different musical home built around a cinematic sound flavored by elements of power and symphonic metal: Aeon Gods emerged as the modern messengers of the ancient mythological gods, infusing new blood into the epic metal scene.
“King Of Gods” brings the timeless Babylonian legends to life and allows the listener to experience the grand battles between the gods, where celestial forces clash and destinies are forged. The German band narrates these tales through an imperial blend of strong & catchy choruses, powerful beats, and majestic sounds – enter the new prophets of the word, enter Aeon Gods!

Epictronic Records is beyond excited to announce the signing of exceptional instrumental rock artist JON HARRIS! This powerhouse guitarist and producer is gearing up to release his phenomenal debut album, “Parallel Heart,” on December 13th, 2024.
Get ready for a sonic adventure that blends bluesy hard rock with infectious funky synth-pop. Imagine Prince and Jeff Beck trading licks in a studio – that’s the electrifying energy Jon Harris brings. “Parallel Heart” is the culmination of Jon’s musical genius, showcasing his talents as a guitarist, bassist, drummer, pianist, and producer.
This Edmonton-based artist poured his heart and soul into “Parallel Heart,” crafting every note from his home studio. The album’s instrumental focus stems from Jon’s wife’s unwavering support and inspiration, a testament to their incredible bond. Jon’s mastery extends beyond songwriting and recording; he mixed the entire album, solidifying his position as a complete musical force. The sole exception? Jon’s son, Gabriel, lends his drumming talents to the track “Mehnoynoy” and even collaborates on new tunes for the next album.
While instrumental, “Parallel Heart” pulsates with meaning. The song titles and melodies weave a narrative about navigating relationships and juggling the demands of a busy life. Each track takes you on a captivating journey, from the 80s synth-pop vibes of “97BPM” to the hard-hitting intensity of “Togetherness,” “Wasted Entertainment,” and the album’s title track.

Following their 2019 album “From Voodoo to Zen”, Tides From Nebula, one of the most influential post-rock bands from Poland, returns after a five-year hiatus with a new album titled “Instant Rewards”. The album will be released on November 8, 2024 via the band’s own label imprint Nebula Records. A visualizer clip for their first single, the cosmic album opening track “Burned To The Ground”, is now streaming below!
What makes “Instant Rewards” special is the fact that the entire album was self-produced by the band. Tides From Nebula decided to return to their roots and take on the challenge of creating an album in the spirit of “do it yourself.” It’s a bold move, especially for a band with such a rich legacy, but the musicians emphasize that this allowed them to deliver the fully authentic sound they were aiming for.
“This album is a vision that is closest to our true selves. By working independently, we had full control over every aspect of creation, from composition to the final sound. It was a challenge, but also an incredibly satisfying process. ‘Instant Rewards’ is more than just another album for us – it’s our response to the changes that have occurred in the world and within ourselves,” says guitarist Maciej Karbowski.
The album was created in independent conditions, far from commercial recording studios, in their own Nebula Studio, which added a raw and authentic quality to it. For Tides From Nebula, it was an opportunity to fully express themselves and return to the roots of their creativity.
“Instant Rewards” is a blend of the raw energy from the band’s early days and the artistic maturity they have gained over the years. The album consists of 9 tracks and will be available on all major streaming platforms as well as in physical format on November 8, 2024.
