More on the bands

DAVID REECE
Not much more needs to be said about David Reece. Since the late 80s, his charismatic voice has enhanced successful albums by ACCEPT, Bangalore Choir, Bonfire and the Sainted Sinners, among others. In addition, he has always placed great importance on his solo career. In addition to his own songs, he will certainly also be performing one or two classics at the festival.

DUST & BONES
For over two decades, the five Swabians have not allowed  themselves to be pressed into any clothing. Their energetic mixture of riffy punk rock, gritty heavy rock with a metal edge and uncompromisingly dirty rock’n’roll is second to none, as is the unusual line-up with two completely different singers and the earthy, deep, dirty guitar sound. With a high recognition value, they have been delighting rock and metal enthusiasts alike with their legendary performances for many years. 

WITCHBOUND
When Harald Spengler alias Lee Tarot, founder and mastermind of the South German cult metal band Stormwitch, passed away far too early in 2013, his longtime musical comrades-in-arms, including Stefan Kauffmann and Peter Langer, decided to finish and release the songs they had written together before his death – the first album by El Puerto Records! In the meantime, they have gone their own way with two albums and have been able to prove their live qualities several times!

UNDERTOW
The Austrian SLAM magazine once called UNDERTOW the “best whatever metal band on the planet”. Sometimes heavy, sometimes doomy, sometimes melancholic – even after almost 30 years of band history, UNDERTOW cannot be pigeonholed. With over 600 concerts on the planet, the recipe for this can’t be bad.

MISSION IN BLACK
The last album “Profit Reigns Supreme” was a real demonstration of power by the female fronted melodic death metal band around Steffi Stuber. Whether it’s Summer Breeze or Area 53, Mission In Black know how to impress live!

Masters of Macabre EISREGEN Unleash Video Single ‘Schmutzliebe’ from Upcoming Album

Thuringian masters of the macabre, EISREGEN, are back with their new studio album entitled “Abart”, and continue to follow their very own path. The band’s 17th album offering will be released on August 16, 2024 via Massacre Records, and will be available as 2-CD Mediabook, Ltd. Box Set, Ltd. Vinyl 2-LP and Digital formats. The Box Set contents the 2-CD Mediabook, a flag (with uncensored cover motif), key fob, and a signed 2-sided postcard. The pre-sale hast just started at: https://lnk.to/abart

Today, EISREGEN have unleashed a video clip for first single “Schmutzliebe”. M. Roth tells us about the song: “Schmutzliebe is another solemn anthem with a very impressive polyphonic chorus. Sometimes love takes you to very dark places, and sometimes you don’t love the person themselves, but only their dirty shell…”

“Schmutzliebe” is now available on all digital streaming providers at https://eisregen.bfan.link/schmutzliebe

“Abart” picks up where “Grenzgänger” left off at the beginning of 2023, and presents the Thuringian legends in absolute top form: A diverse songwriting that incorporates almost all facets of various metal styles – ranging from death to black, gothic, dark and doom – is brought to life by mastermind M.Roth’s distinctive vocals and in combination, creates frightening, monstrous soundscapes that only EISREGEN can bring to life.

On “Abart”, M.Roth and Yantit once again have an uncanny knack for melodies that stick to and will haunt the listener – the new album tracks have enormous hit potential, far from the beaten track. And: One of the Thuringians’ biggest hits has received a sequel – get ready for “Die Rückkehr der Elektro Hexe”, which is accompanied by “Elektro Baba Yaga”, and with “1000 tote Nutten 2024”, they give another band classic a modern twist.

Polarizing and one-of-a-kind – even in 2024, death remains a master from Thuringia!

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: AEVA MAURELLE. Leave a comment

AEVA MAURELLE has joined the pirate label El Puerto Records. The gifted soprano has already sung for Aeverium, Kamelot and Xandria. 

Aeva Maurelle :
“This new collaboration just feels good as we have known each other for a long time. I’m very excited about the future and looking forward to what’s to come! I’m really looking forward to exploring new avenues with my friends at El Puerto Records…”

Matt. Bischof, Head Of Promotion El Puerto Records:
“I have followed Aeva’s career for a long time. Her voice is undoubtedly one of the best in the genre, she has nothing to hide from anyone.  We are all happy that she is now part of the El Puerto family. Welcome aboard, Aeva!”

The signing also marks the first time that one of her cover versions has been released on all major platforms.

Aeva opted for “Sleeping Sun” (Nightwish):
“As a longtime Nightwish fan, this music has been with me for a long time. This powerful ballad, one of my favorites, brings so much to the table and lifts me to a higher level of power and vibration.”

AEVA MAURELLE

In her crossover character, she combines passion and aesthetics with mysterious fantasy! On stage, her gentle, thoughtful nature turns into pure, intoxicating ecstasy. Aeva loves extremes: she consciously combines the classical sounds of her pure soprano with the necessary portion of rock’n’roll. She manages to play between the genres with ease. From 0 to 100, Aeva is in her element! In recent years she has sung with Kamelot, Aeverium, Xandria and Versengold.

IMPACT APPROVED Unleash Live Video ‘Ventus Et Ignis Live @Rockhouse Festival’

Prepare to be blown away by the raw energy and electrifying performance of IMPACT APPROVED! The band has unleashed a scorching live video of their new anthem, “Ventus Et Ignis,” taken from the band’s new album “Way of the Warrior” (2024, Wormholedeath Records).

Captured live at the “Rockhouse Festival” on June 1st, 2024, this video showcases the raw energy and electrifying performance of Impact Approved. The live debut of “VENTUS ET IGNIS” in Hamburg on March 14th, 2024, was a game-changer, proving to be a perfect anthem for the crowd to go wild. The moment Impact Approved got the crowd moving, they saw an explosion of energy with fans being lifted and crowd surfing. The first three surfers even scored a free CD of “WAY OF THE WARRIOR”! 

“Our mission is always to give the crowd an unforgettable experience,” says the band. “The energy we share with our fans is what fuels us. Seeing the smiling faces and feeling the connection is what keeps us going.”

Impact Approved’s live shows are legendary for a reason – walls of death, circle pits, and an endless wave of crowd surfers are guaranteed to make every concert an adrenaline-pumping experience.

Witness the madness for yourself and become part of the Impact Approved legacy!

Born in 2019, Impact Approved quickly carved their niche in the melodic death metal scene. Philipp (vocals) and Uwe (guitars, drums) laid the groundwork, joined by Maurice (bass) in 2020 and Armin (guitar) shortly after. After the critically acclaimed release of “Into the Fray” in 2021, the band toured alongside heavyweights like Heaven Shall Burn in 2022. With the departure of Armin, Matthias “Matze” Büsing steps in to complete the live lineup, ready to unleash the fury of Way of the Warrior on audiences worldwide.
