ALPHA OMEGA Management has a pleasure to announce the signing of UNHUMAN! Furthermore the band is confirmed as main support for SABATON‘s show in Riga, as a part of “The Last Tour”, taking place on December 17th at Melna Piektdiena Club (see the flyer below).
UNHUMAN – formed in 2015, risen from the ashes of “Burn of Black” – is an impact of a powerful mix characterized by an aggressive and harsh sound, blended with melodic vocals which emphasize the sonorities. The band’s debut full-length album “Equilibrium?” is set to be released still in 2016. The album is a personal result of the individual maturation process of each band member came across, breeding their new identity, born by the heavy rhythmic patterns of industrial metal, the violence of Thrash, topping them with clean melodic voicals, like it was rarely done, so far.
Comments the band: “It is a great pleasure for us to join this Alpha Omega team which, since the very first approach has shown us a true commitment, reliability and customized strategy for our band. The union between a band and its manager is indeed one of the key factors in order to achieve ambitious goals and results, as well as to reach out and spread all over the music scenario that matters. We are fully committed, thrilled and ready to take advantage of any opportunity to promote ourselves, our music, our being. Fasten your seat belts!!”
ALPHA OMEGA Management adds: “We’re very glad to welcome these hard working guys in UNHUMAN to our Family! Their music delivers a delicious blend of powerful industrial metal with thrash attitude, flavoured with clean melodic vocals, creating so an enjoyable combination which leaves no one indifferent! Stay tuned for next announcements!”
ALPHA OMEGA Management has a great pleasure to announce the signing of DAMN DICE!

ALPHA OMEGA Management has a huge pleasure to announce COVEN, led by the High Priestess of Occult JINX DAWSON, to play their unique “Musickal Ritual” at Roadburn Festival 2017 in The Netherlands! More information on Roadburn here. Facebook event page here.
JINX DAWSON‘s message to her Cherished Friends: “Roadburn Festival’s intrepid ring master, Walter, hath stirred us from our COVEN lair. We shall be performing a musickal ritual for the first time in many ages.We are wickedly delighted to travel to the Netherlands for this very special festival concert, and to bring our musickal form of Witchcraft once again to the live stage.”
Roadburn Festival writes in their press release:
“Welcome to the COVEN at Roadburn 2017; JINX DAWSON invites us to her lair on Thursday, April 20 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, The Netherlands.
Devil Horns, the Left Hand Path, Satanic Rituals, Black Magick, Sexuality, and a seminal debut-album that has had a lasting appeal since 1969. COVEN’s Witchcraft Destroys Minds and Reaps Souls was not only ahead of its time, the iconoclastic troupe – helmed by high priestess, and the original wicked woman, JINX DAWSON – heavily influenced future generations of musicians, from Ghost to The Devil’s Blood, from Witchcraft to In Solitude, from Blood Ceremony to Lucifer, and even our festival.
We are equal measures excited, proud and overwhelmed to be able to announce that COVEN will thrill Roadburn Festival to it’s darkened core on Thursday, April 20 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, The Netherlands. JINX DAWSON, and her unholy union will take their cult-ritual to the stage for the first time in decades – and for the first time ever on European soil.
Known by many classic rock fans for JINX DAWSON’s early seventies hit, ‘One Tin Soldier’, from the counter culture flick Billy Jack, the song was an anthem for hypocrisy and added more mystery to COVEN’s occult imagery and aesthetics that laid the groundwork for hard rock and heavy metal.The band’s diabolical mix of proto-metal paired with dark psychedelica and prog was dabbed in deeply occult lyrics, and has always been a celebration of all things Left Hand Path. Whether it’s the much sought after and talked about Witchcraft Destroys Minds and Reaps Souls, or the band’s third album Blood On the Snow, COVEN’s output has terrified peers and audiences, as well as the moral-elite since their incarnation. Their extreme dark and shocking rites, thriving on a strong woman’s sexuality, was unheard of at the time.
Though COVEN went clandestine not long after the release of Blood on the Snow, JINX DAWSON, and the band always remained a landmark within the metal community, and hailed as one of the 10 greatest heavy metal front women. Having battled with record companies, management, opposing religious organisations and law officials has only added to Jinx’s legacy to stay genuinely true to her own firm beliefs, based upon a very long lineage of Occult Adepts and Practitioners of the Ancient Arts.
With the release of 2003’s Goth Queen: Out of the Vault, and 2013’s album, “Jinx”, DAWSON rightfully regained her throne as ‘the originator’ of the burgeoning occult rock scene – a movement that we have wholeheartedly embraced at Roadburn over the years, while offering a platform to her children of the damned.
Having the mysterious JINX DAWSON/ COVEN at Roadburn isn’t only a thrilling once in a lifetime event, it is also our way of paying a humble tribute to a woman that has been such an integral influence on the festival since its incarnation in 1999, and an inspirational heroine to many bands that graced our stages over the years. We couldn’t think of a more fitting ceremony, and welcome all of you to Jinx’s lair on Thursday, April 20 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, The Netherlands – don’t break the circle, and join us.”

Like any great thing it started with one, then two, than three and 6 years later 82,000 plus members and fans make us one of the biggest and baddest Metal entities on the face of the Earth. What started out as a hobby and purely for fun as turned into a something I was not prepared for in the beginning, as we started to grow so did my vision of what we could be and what we could become. Day by day, week by week and yes year by year I could see that this was a Globally shared passion with very few outlets to just be a Metalhead and enjoy the company of lifelong Metalheads and like minded people. So here we sit 6 years later, 43 subgroups covering nearly all sub-genres, being a force on all social Platforms from Twitter to Youtube and everything in between. This is just the beginning for us! \m/”
