With nine national TV performances, The Swedish Eurovision Outtakes two years in a row, and two songs on Spotify’s Top 50 in Sweden with ‘Pretender‘ and ‘Till Our Days Are Over‘. One thing’s for sure: LILLASYSTER has built up anticipation towards their 6th album which is also their first one entirely in English.
Today they are releasing their new single ‘Forty Four Boxes‘, an energetic and powerful track with heavy riffs and big choruses performed by frontman Martin Westerstrand.
The new album “Rex Silvarum” by the epic folk metallers from MANDRAGORA THURINGIA has been in the stores for a fortnight now and it seems that the guys are taking the hearts of folk and medieval metal fans by storm with their melodies.
Now the Thuringians are going one better and releasing an official video clip with “Rex Silvarum”, the title track of the album. The story about the king of the forest was staged by AllYouCanContent, and the video was shot in Winterberg in North Rhine-Westphalia at the beginning of September.
The complete album with 13 songs with stories from the old days, about battles and drinking bouts, on which Robse Dahn (ex-Equilibrium) and Dom R. Cray (Equilibrium, Nothgard) also do the honours on one song each, is available on all common download and streaming platforms, from the band, from MDD, in well-stocked shops and the mailorder of your trust.
An overdue and terrific festival summer lies behind us. Thrashers ERADICATOR are ready and motivated to produce a new album for you. But before the time has come, you are already provided with the brand new track “Witness To The End”. As with the current album “Influence Denied”, Sebastian Levermann was responsible for the production. Lead guitarist Manni Zewe of label buddies GODSLAVE contributed one of his unmistakable solos to the song. The artwork, which also graces the new merchandise, was done by Sebastian Jerke.
The video is a compilation of the past concerts and a thank you for the support of fans and promoters, which is currently not self-evident.
“Witness To The End” was released on 18.11. as a digital single by Metalville Records. The video for the song can already be watched below.

AWAKE AT LAST released their new single titled “Save My Soul” to all digital outlets! The single is from their forthcoming album The Balance due out on February 24, 2023. In support of the single the band will join Saliva and Seventh Day Slumber on the road this December.
“‘Save My Soul” takes place at a crucial part of the story in the upcoming album. It represents the feeling of being frozen by your own thoughts. There was a time where no matter what I did or tried to do I couldn’t pull myself from my depression and anxiety. I kept sinking deeper and deeper into it. I felt like I’d done everything I could to try and answer some of those deeper questions. Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? I battled those demons in my mind as much as I could, but I couldn’t deny they were a part of me. I felt like I was at war with myself, and I needed help, so the song sort of calls for help. There’s also a bit of an answer though, and it helps to move the ebb and flow of the record forward. It’s a darker element on the record, but I hope that it speaks to those who also struggle with those paralyzing thoughts,” says the band’s vocalist, Vincent Torres.

In their early twenties and they are just getting started: Following a debut EP and their recent signing with Drakkar Entertainment, up-and-coming BIRDS VIEW are gearing up to take the world of rock ‘n’ roll by storm! The refreshing combination of a riff-driven, loud and catchy sound, that channels the flavor of groups like Foo Fighters, Turnstile or Queens Of The Stone Age, already seen them winning prestigious prizes (German Rock & Pop Award 2019, JBL Back to Stage, etc.) and working with some of the biggest names in the German music scene.
Today, BIRDS VIEW have premiered a brand new single, that already showcases an enthralling sneak peak of a full album to be released in the not so distant future! “Phoning” is a mix of grim guitars, catchy beats and trendy melodies, as the band says: „The main goal of that track was to start with a riff that simply blows you away… we think it worked out.”
“Parties, broken amps, wild gigs, sweaty people… That’s what we sound like,“ the band is convinced. “Energy, dynamic, attention to detail. We are a live band and you can hear that on our upcoming record.”
Stay tuned for many more news and details about BIRDS VIEW to follow soon!
BIRDS VIEW Live: 05.12.22 – Club 8 (Streaming Show) 16.12.22 – Stage House TV (Streaming Show) 28.01.23 – Open World, Rodgau (DE)
