Vokonis release fourth studio album ‘Odyssey’


Vokonis’ fourth studio album ”Odyssey” is out now. More dynamically diverse than ever, the album’s 6 new tracks feature guest musician Per Wiberg (Opeth, Spiritual Beggars, Kamchatka) on Keyboard. “Odyssey” is Vokonis’ first true prog-record. A record for the new decade.

After the success of Vokonis’ critically acclaimed third album ”Grasping Time” (2019), Vokonis immediately went into recording more material. With the goal set to further expand the prog landscape, Vokonis crafted recordings that are more dynamically diverse and forward-thinking than ever before. The result is ”Odyssey”, the upcoming fourth studio album by Vokonis. Ranging from full-blown doom to melodically blissful passages, the new album features guest musician Per Wiberg (Opeth, Spiritual Beggars, Kamchatka) on Keyboard.

TOWER RETURN with new ALBUM “URIEL” after a 20-year break


Tower is a Polish band founded in 1994 (originally as Gothic Flowers) by Piotr Kolleck, who together with the bands AionMedeborSirrah and Sacriversum co-created the heavier part of the gothic metal scene in Poland.

In the 90s, the group released two very well-received albums: The Swan Princess (1998) and Mercury (1999). In 1999, the formation performed at the Metalmania festival – one of the largest metal festivals in this part of Europe, and appeared as a support for Bruce Dickinson. Unfortunately, the band broke up in 1999, just before the planned concert at the Castle Party festival.

LIKE MOTHS TO FLAMES unleash two massive new singles


Metalcore giants LIKE MOTHS TO FLAMES have unleashed two brand new singles today – BASILISK’ and INHERIT THE TRAGEDY.’ 

These tracks serve as a continuation of the Columbus quartet’s 2020 release of No Eternity In Gold. “Both ‘Basilisk’ and ‘Inherit The Tragedy’ are songs that I was super torn on cutting from the record,” shares frontman Chris Roetter. “‘Basilisk’ covers the experience of being so rooted in your own problems that you’re detached from what’s happening around you. I think we all tend to get stuck in letting our struggles become our identity. ‘Inherit the Tragedy’ follows the more classic themes that the band has offered out in the past. We’ve never been a stranger to writing songs focused on cutting the chord from someone who becomes dead weight.”
