MAERZFELD have released the new single and video “Wach Auf”, taken from the forthcoming new studio album “Alles anders” (out 24.02.2023 via Metalville Records).

MAERZFELD make a bold statement in terms of hard and modern German rock. The world is no longer the same as it was 3 years ago. For the musicians, too, there have been formative experiences and changes, which have been processed in the new songs. So you can hear and feel a mixture of depression, hope, anger, despair, joy and courage. And the will to understand change as a chance.  Therefore, “Everything is different” in a positive sense.

Wach auf

Ich bin der Tod

Lange nicht

„Bittersweet“ the new album by FORMOSA is like a new beginning for the band.  After the Corona break, the guys go full throttle and deliver ten impressively strong numbers. With the songs and the sound of the record, the band reinvents itself without losing itself.

Formosa’s music has evolved, some of the songs have become harder and faster, but overall each one is still melodic and catchy. The production as well as the songwriting are on the highest level, making “Bittersweet” the band’s strongest longplayer so far.

Finnish hippie metal superstars EGOKILLS are back – bigger, badder & more dangerous than ever!

The latest Egokills banger is called Life’s a Party and it is a reminder of what life’s about in these dark times. The song comes with a movie quality music video, directed by the bands long-time friend Timo Lepistö. The video portrays the band in its natural habitat, partying around their own camper van. Vocalist Janne Selo plays the main part.

After the video was shot the band got into some real danger.

”We were driving home with bassist Mika Pusa, when the left rear tire of our dear LoveLines Mellowmobile swung loose in a tunnel. Luckily I was able to steer the camper safely to the side and the tire didn’t hit anyone. We took a breather and called the tow truck”, drummer Vilho Rajala recalls.

Watch video after the incident: https://youtube.com/shorts/xQeUqWahxrM

The release show of Life’s a Party takes place on Feb 3rd at Hönö Live Music Bar in Tampere, Finland. During the three-year gig break the band is born again in the rehearsal place and will play the best show of their career up to now.
