In an electrifying move, Swedish hard rock sensation Symphony Of Sweden has just dropped their highly anticipated first professional music video, a bold leap into a new era of creativity for the band. This visual masterpiece accompanies a track from their upcoming third album, which promises to be a game-changer in their musical journey.

When asked about the band’s evolution over the past three years, especially in anticipation of their third album, Evan, one of the band’s key members, shared, “We have definitely found our sound now with the third album. Our transformation started with the first album, and with ‘Giants,’ ‘She’s in My Head,’ ‘Under Fire,’ we realized we were slowly finding our path to our identity sound-wise.”

Evan further explained the band’s decision to create a professional video, stating, “Our passion was and still is to produce and perform great music, and videos were more like a ‘necessary evil.’ Now, we’re taking small steps to make it more equal between the music and the videos from a quality and artistic point of view.”

Sharing insights into the experience of working with a professional crew and video director for the first time, Evan expressed, “It was a kind of relief to put the video completely in the hands of another person for the first time!” Anticipating the impact, he adds, “By taking the videos to a higher level, I think we will be considered as a whole to be a more established band and show the audience we are dead serious about our music!“

Lee, the voice of the band, describes the journey as “one hell of a ride,” acknowledging the challenges they’ve overcome. “A lot of hours, a lot of work. Body struggles, voice struggles – all of that has led us to the third album with a lot of badass songs.” Talking about the music video, he shared, “We always want to do better and bigger. We have talked about hiring a film director for a long time. And Evan found this guy, and he really did a good job.”Lee‘s excitement is palpable as he adds, “It was really damn cool. I felt like a small kid experiencing it all for the first time and couldn’t believe that it all was our doing.”

As Symphony Of Sweden gears up for the release of their third album, Evan reflects on the band’s growth, stating, “Millions of hugs to all of you who support our music!” Lee emphasizes the band’s relentless pursuit of excellence, saying, “We have our goals. We will not quit till we get there.” With a rallying cry to fans, he adds, “Keep sharing! We will never stop.”

With the release of their third album on the horizon and a newfound commitment to visual storytelling, Symphony Of Sweden is set to make 2024 an exhilarating year for fans. As they continue to evolve and push their creative boundaries, one thing is clear – Symphony Of Sweden is a force to be reckoned within the world of rock.

Welcome to the musical world of Symphony Of Sweden!

Coming from the North of Sweden with winter and ice bears all over the place, the music is the other way around. Grand and epic with huge arrangements, the missing link between pop and metal – this is Symphony of Sweden! Add the powerful voice of Linus “Lee” Wester and the creative talent of Pontus “Evan” Hagberg you will have a concept that brings you on a journey from here to eternity.

Symphony Of Sweden is:
Pontus „Evan” Hagberg
Linus „Lee” Wester

Evan and Lee lived in the same small town up north in Sweden. Lee had his own little service point, betting shop, tobacco store nearby which also happened to be Evan’s local service point where he went to get his parcels. After saying hello to each other for a couple of years, there was one day Evan had a parcel to get – which obviously was music-related. They fell into conversation with each other, a few days later Evan invited Lee to his studio. Evan: „he had found one of my instrumental tracks on Youtube and sang it with a new melody on top and lyrics for me in the studio, right there when he just arrived! I was blown away, and a week later we had our first ever track produced and completed. As soon he sang his first two words in the studio I wanted to work with him!”

The band released their first album, Inner Demons in January 2021, and their second album, Saints Of Yesterday came out on the 3rd of February, 2022.

Italian power metallers ELETTRA STORM have released a video for ‘Higher than the Stars’, first single taken from the debut album ‘Powerlords’ to be released on February 16th via Scarlet Records.

Elettra Storm is the brand new power metal sensation: featuring the talented and gorgeous Crystal Emiliani on vocals and supported by top-notch musicians, the band’s debut album is a glorious 100% power metal ride at its finest, blending the magic of early 00’s genre superheroes like Stratovarius and Rhapsody of Fire with the modern female-fronted approach of Unleash the Archers and Frozen Crown. 

Be ready to be enchanted by tales of mighty archangels, moon goddess and underground civilizations; an escapism from the daily-life fatigue, but also a reflection on humanity virtues and faults. 

‘Powerlords’ is the ultimate record for both young and grey-bearded metalheads, in whom the power of the dragonflame still burns bright!

  • debut album for the new Italian power metal unit led by SinHeresy co-founder Davide Sportiello
  • featuring the sensational frontwoman and model Crystal Emiliani (Re-X)
  • mixed and mastered by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio (Wind Rose, Elvenking, Twilight Force)

FINAL COIL Release Official Video for ‘Chemtrails’

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: FINAL COIL. Leave a comment

Chemtrails is one of the album’s heaviest tracks, and possibly one of the heaviest pieces Final Coil have ever written. Philip Stiles says; “There’s definitely some Killing Joke influence in there, not least in the vocal; while the relentless riff mirrors the overwhelming certainty implicit in the chorus – “but I won’t stop, they won’t drown me out, their lies spread, but I never doubt”. It’s a dark song, and while it’s great to play live, there’s a lingering air of violence that hangs over the piece that makes it slightly uncomfortable.”

He continues; “For the video, we worked hard to capture that same air of paranoia and violence in a short clip. We opted to show the album’s protagonist captured, interrogated and tortured about what he knows. It’s not clear whether this takes place in reality or in his mind, but what is clear is that there’s a palpable sense of fear whipped up by these narratives, with violence very often the outcome. The clip itself was filmed on an abandoned army base, which we took over for the day. Typically, we filmed in January, which meant I spent a fun hour, lying on the dirt in a straight jacket, essentially getting waterboarded. By the time the shooting ended, I was dirty and shaking so much I could barely get out of costume, but the effect was worth it, and it stands as the best video we have done to date.”

The World We Inherited | Released January 16th, 2023 via Sliptrick Records

Final Coil are:
Philip Stiles – Vocals/Rhythm Guitar/Lead Guitar/Synths | Jola Stiles – Bass Guitar | Richard Awdry – Lead Guitar/Backing Vocals/Synths

REVEALING CHAOS Release New Video ‘Erupted’

REVEALING CHAOS have released their new video for ‘Erupted’, taken from “Materia” album, released in the first part of 2023 on Elevate Records.

Stream at https://li.sten.to/revealing_chaos_materia

Revealing Chaos was born in 2021 from the meeting of Andrej Surace – guitar (former member of Heretic’s Dream) and Christian Bruno – bass (former member of Destiny). The strong human, character, and artistic affinity between the two determined a well-defined musical production. The direction they took is that of modern prog-rock/metal. The lyrics are autobiographical, aimed at expressing deep reflections related to life experiences, emotional difficulties, and complex personal situations. Thanks to their good technical preparation, they complete the arrangements using piano and synthesizer, with Christian himself as the lead vocalist. To complete the circle, drawn by the strong influence of Rush that permeates RC, Daniele Cortese (former member of Fenisia / Heretic’s Dream) joins on drums, and the band begins to prepare the material for the first album.

In 2022, Revealing Chaos signs with ELEVATE RECORDS for the distribution of the album “Materia,” which is released in July 2023 after the publication of two singles: “Shifted Foundations” and “Scorched,” which receive an excellent reception from the public.
