Greek Prog metal quartet MOTHER OF MILLIONS are back with a new EP, entitled “Orbit”, following their acclaimed 3rd studio album ”Artifacts”. Orbit will be released in a 12″ vinyl format and digital on May 6.

Orbit is the band’s first release after the loss of keybordist Makis Tsamkosoglou, during a show in June 2019. It is a soul-searching, introspective and affecting record, that attempts to share all emotions that followed this tragic event. Recording it, was described by the band as a necessary healing experience for the restart process.

“Orbit” EP includes the tracks:
1. Where Do We Go from Here
2. Orbit
3. No Light, No Light (Florence + The Machine cover)
4. Rome (piano re-recording)

Orbit was recorded in Bombtrack Studio with the help of Michalis Meleteas and George Prokopiou.
Produced, Mixed and Mastered by hector d
Artwork was created by Napan Visual Arts Studio
Orbit is dedicated to the memory of Makis Tsamkosoglou

Mother of Millions is a prog-metal quartet based in Athens, Greece.

The band has released 3 albums, “Human” (Bungalo 2014), “Sigma” (ViciSolum Productions 2017), Artifacts (ViciSolum Productions 2019), getting the most positive reviews from the audience and the global music press. A new EP is soon to be released, while Mother of Millions are working on a new album.

The band performed sold-out headline shows in Athens, shows with Textures on their last European tour, support shows with Ruud Jolie’s For All We Know in the Netherlands, while the band has shared the stage with artists such as Pain of Salvation, Devin Townsend, Leprous, Oceans of Slumber, Septic Flesh etc.

In June 2019 during a show promoting Artifacts, Mother of Millions’ keyboardist and beloved friend Makis Tsamkosoglou passed away. Following this tragic incident, the band decided to keep going as a quartet.

Mother of Millions sounds equally massive as cinematic. Intense soundscapes involving elaborate rhythms, folk aesthetics and progressive rock tunes.

“S.S.D. – System Shakedown” is a track taken from SHADY GLIMPSE‘s album “Supreme Gift” out via Wormholedeath worldwide.

Yuichi Takei stated, “I wrote this song for warning everyone who affected from well-known people. We’ll face with many problems in life. And also have to meet many kinds of people. I want to say “Don’t lose yourself! Listen, search and think over! If it’s a good idea, you adopt it. If it’s a different idea to you, you can learn something. Never force your opinion!”

German Rock n’ Rollers STINGER sign with ROAR! Rock of Angels Records!

The award-winning band STINGER was founded in 2016. Head, and rhythm guitarist of the band is Matthew Sting. The voice of the band belongs to Martin „Schaffi“ Schaffrath. The lead guitar is played by the youngest member of the squad, Adrian Seidel. Sammy Sin hit the drums and Simon Simon not only plays his bass excellently, he also finds a solution for every technical challenge the band may face. 

Nowadays, honest feelings and passion are more in demand than ever. STINGER is a band that carries authenticity as a large banner. There are musicians at work, who write hand-made, honest songs. The result is thoroughly honest, raw hard rock, with a touch of blues that lays above all. Founded in 2016, they have already brought top-class reinforcements on board for the first EP “MOSQUITO” and the long player “DISADVANTAGED”. Three former AC/DC members and other musicians from ROSE TATTOO, as well as DORO and DIO, were chosen for the recordings. The proceeds of the silver disc, which was awarded the “HARDROCK ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2017” at the GERMAN ROCK & POP AWARD, were donated to a parents‘ initiative for children with cancer in Germany. 

With the CD „COLOURBLIND“, the band again won the GERMAN ROCK & POP AWARD, this time for the best „HARDROCK ALBUM 2019“. Furthermore, STINGER were awarded as „BEST GERMAN HARD ROCK BAND 2019“. And then they did it again. In 2021 they won the GERMAN ROCK & POP AWARD right away with the single „Chasing Utopia“ for the „BEST HARD ROCK SINGLE 2021“, which just will be released was recorded with the one and only BILLY SHEEHAN (MR. BIG, DAVID LEE ROTH, THE WINERY DOGS) on bass.

In front of 50,000 spectators, STINGER were part of the new edition of the legendary WERNER RACE and already got people‘s attention at the legendary German festivals „WACKEN“, „CLASSIC ROCK NIGHT PYRAS“, „BALTIC OPEN AIR“ and at the „BONFEST“ in Scotland. 

Like a gunboat, STINGER fires from all cannons and convince the crowd. The groove that the guys present goes straight into the ears and legs. STINGER do not attach great importance to frills. What counts is the attitude towards life called ROCK ‘N‘ ROLL. Anyone looking for a band that inspires rock fans of all ages will make the best choice with STINGER. There are currently only a few bands that can impress the press and fans alike. 

Today we proudly announce the signing of a multi-album deal with STINGER and welcome the band to the ROAR! Rock of Angels roster.

Norwegian multi-instrumentalist SYLVAINE will be releasing her fourth studio album, ‘Nova,’ on March 4, 2021! The singer/songwriter is now sharing the ethereal title track along with a visualizer. Listen at THIS LOCATION.

SYLVAINE comments on the track: “Even without saying a single word, ‘Nova’ perfectly captures every single emotion that went into the creation of this fourth album of mine. It’s hard to put into words what this song means to me and just how much it makes me feel every single time I listen to it. All I will say is that nothing felt more fitting than to open such an incredibly personal album with such a naked piece of music, made up of the most personal instrument I could’ve chosen: my voice. My soul laid barer than ever before; this is ‘Nova.'”
