UK’s Power Metal Sensation FELLOWSHIP have signed a multi-album deal with Scarlet Records.

Hailing from Harwich, England, Fellowship is a four-piece on a mission to take melodic power metal to new heights.

Having started making music together in late 2019, the band released a collection of songs in March of 2020 to widespread acclaim. With a range of backgrounds all the way from metal to musical theatre, they’ve taken the scene by storm, achieving hundreds of thousands of video views, almost as many streams and winning a few awards along the way. 

Inspired by Rhapsody and Twilight Force in equal measure, along with Majestica, Sabaton and occasionally some anime theme songs, Fellowship’s music is designed to lift spirits and fire up the soul. 

Fellowship’s debut album is set to be released in July 2022 – metal has never felt so good!

Germany’s most spectacular band are Weimar’s DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER. The band, whose name translates as “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”, brandish a unique style of melodic heaviness, accompanied by one of a kind, intense lyrics. Recently, the band unleashed their new masterpiece “Wilde Kinder” (=“Wild Children”), which is the official successor to their highly successful album “Der Rote Reiter” (2017) and already stormed the German charts at #9!

Today, the band have announced their VOLLE.KRAFT.VORAUS. tour that will set stages on fire across Gemany, Austia and Switzerland in October of this year. Unbridled live power, pure excitement, and maximum energy – DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER turn every show into a spectacle, making sure that their fans understand what the Reitermania is really about. For the first time, the band will embark on a club tour in celebration of their new top 10 album “Wilde Kinder”, from which they have today released yet another music video for the song ‘Der Eisenhans’ (=Iron John”).

Everything on “Wilde Kinder” sounds exactly like the Riders as we know and love them – hard riffing, with dynamic drumming and catchy choruses.

There’s no question about it – DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER will make every single show unforgettable. There could not be a more fitting tour motto than VOLLE.KRAFT.VORAUS., as they set to take everyone along on a ride through 25 years of the band’s history, woven between new hymns, so that both old school and new school fans alike can enjoy an evening full of emotion.

DECAPITATED Unleash New Single & Video ‘Just A Cigarette’

The release of the long-awaited new album “Cancer Culture” is getting closer and closer.

Across eight studio albums, DECAPITATED grew from the adolescent dream of teenagers from a small Central European town to one of the leaders of the metal genre. Each successive album has further expanded the band’s sound with genre-bending authenticity and integrity.

Today, we get yet another taste of what “Cancer Culture” has to offer, with their newest single “Just A Cigarette”.

Guitarist and songwriter Vogg comments on the song as follows: “Just A Cigarette  is a powerful, epic, melodic death metal song about human life expectations and death. It was the first song I wrote for the Cancer Culture, which shaped the whole album. To present the track even more and affect the listeners’ senses, we wanted to deliver it with a great piece of art. For this occasion, we teamed up with the Polish artist Marcin Białas, who let us use his fantastic gravure prints, which we used in our video as well.”

The official video for the new banger was filmed and directed by Marcin Halerz in Krakow, Poland.

The track is a technical death metal masterpiece, accompanied by a pure metal video!
