PRESS RELEASE:
King Zog’s 2017 debut album inducted a new titan into the underworld of doom – earning unilateral fandom and critical praise for its devotional offering to the gods of metal. Songs like Temple’s Temple, Man-sized Rotisserie and Witchsmoker sounded the way Dominic Sohor’s iconic album artwork looked – fiery and ferocious.
Since the arrival of this musical leviathan, King Zog have worked on a tireless mission. The line-up of Daniel Durack (vocals/guitar), Connor Pitts-West (guitar), Martin Gonzalez (bass) and Sean Ryan (drums) haven’t wasted a single day – hunkering down to write album #2 during the pandemic and performing relentlessly once the lockdowns lifted.
The reward for their toil is soon to be unveiled, with Second Dawn due for release mid-2024, on Rue Morgue Records. Bigger, heavier and doomier than its predecessor, King Zog’s second album is everything fans want it to be: a rampaging bull of Iommic riffs, seismic bottom-end and thundering rhythms.
Downtuned and distorted, the crushing weight of Second Dawn’s music is raised up by undiluted, unadulterated vocal hooks.
Like the eternal journey of Sisyphus up the mountain, Second Dawn is a show of otherworldly strength – each song ascending in sheer force before thudding back to Earth, ready to start anew.
From its blistering opener Scelestic Dusk to its closing title track, Second Dawn is a voyage through cyclonic seas... introducing fans to instant doom classics like Rat King and Brute Beast, whose names do well to serve their ghoulish nature.
Now the go-to doom band in their Western Australian hometown of Perth, King Zog are looking out to the horizon as they ready to set sail in support of Second Dawn.
From headlining sold-out shows, to touring the east coast of the sunburnt country, to tearing the roof off every heavy music festival that blows into town – King Zog have become the monster their debut album promised them to be. Now they begin to ink the next chapter in their continuing odyssey... now is the time of their Second Dawn.

Led by the unique shouts of Berne, the band’s fun and energy displays at their live performances, which is why they were engaged as support act for Tankard, Sacred Reich,and Testament. Battlecreek are always ready to celebrate the next thrash-party with you!

After the debut “Wake the Plague” (LP, 2011) and “Hate Injection” (LP, 2015), which convinced critics and fans alike and therefore was reissued by Violent Creek Records the year after, the wild Bavarians are serving up their third long- player “Maze of the Mind” in 2024 – Come on, follow Battlecreek into the Maze!

PRESS RELEASE:
The thrash metal commando DARKNESS comes from Essen - Altenessen, next to the Bay Area the most creative nucleus of the thrash wave in the 1980s.
Founded in 1984, the band made a name for themselves with the demos “Evil Curse”, “Titanic War” and “Spawn of the Dark One”.
DARKNESS released three albums between 1987 and 1989.
The first album “Death Squad” is considered a thrash classic and established the cult status of DARKNESS, which still exists today and influences thrash musicians all over the world.
In 1991 things became quieter for the band, and in 1998 singer Olli tragically died.
Lacky and Arnd, two early members, revived Thrash Guerrilla in 2004.
In 2005 the three albums “Death Squad”, “Defenders of Justice” and “Conclusion & Revival” were released again. In addition, “Bocholt Live Squad”, an official concert recording from May 14, 1987, is coming onto the market in CD format.
The long-out-of-print triple vinyl box “The Demos” from 2008 contains a live recording from the “Keep it True” Festival 2006, all demo recordings and extensive bonus material.
At the end of 2010, the musicians, who were otherwise under the banner “Eure Erben”, released an album under the name DARKNESS for the first time.
Since demand continues, the albums “Death Squad” and “Defenders of Justice” will be released on vinyl again to mark their 25th anniversary.
As with many veterans of metal, DARKNESS also has a line-up merry-go-round. Lacky and Arnd, the band's constants, are looking for a stable line-up for a comeback. The guitarist Meik started his job for Darkness in 2013. Lee was given the microphone by Arnd at the end of 2014, who from then on concentrated exclusively on the guitar and backgrounds.
In 2015, Dirk took over the bass role from Christian “Spessy” Gießler, who no longer has time to be involved in DARKNESS due to his main job at Kreator.
After “Keep it True” Festival, but especially since 2014, DARKNESS have played at well-known festivals such as the “Turock Open Air”, “Obscene Extreme”, Headbangers Open Air” and the “Ruhrpott Metal Meeting”.
The old school club is also being wielded at numerous club shows around the world and proven what the band stands for: old school thrash - brutal, fast, uncompromising and mean.
With the album “The Gasoline Solution”, a real, much-praised successor to the two classics “Death Squad” and “Defenders of Justice” was released in October 2016.
Exactly 2 years after the comeback album, Darkness presented the The album “First Class Violence” makes it impressively clear that even more than 30 years later, angry thrash still comes from Altenessen.
At the beginning of 2019, Ben took over the bass from Dirk. The EP “Over and Out” follows in 2020.
In 2024, Dominik took over the guitar from Maik and with the highly acclaimed release of the album “Blood on Canvas” in 2024, Darkness manifested its status as a German thrash institution.

PRESS RELEASE:
UK-based heavy/thrashers SOULRIDE release a video for the title track of their upcoming full-length “Murder Act” (feat. Kristian Havard of Xentrix)
The band Soulride was founded in November 2008 in Coventry (UK) by three Poles who, after a few years of living overseas, decided to return to making music. The beginnings of the band were definitely rock.
VIDEO LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hovaJmOhpc
Soulride quickly recorded the first EP "LOST" and began touring around Coventry. After recording the second EP "PARALYZED" the band performed at concerts all over the UK, playing in London, Birmingham and Manchester. On "PARALYZED" the band moved towards heavy metal, the numbers were stronger but still melodic. After playing several dozen concerts, personal problems began, which caused the suspension of activities.
After a few years, the band was resuscitated, between 2014-2018 Soulride played only a few concerts, but from 2022 in a new line-up and with new energy the band started rehearsing and creating new material. In February 2023 Soulride recorded 2 demo songs which were immediately loved by local promoters. This resulted in even more concerts.
In Autumn 2023, the band returned to the studio to record material for the first album, which will be promoted at concerts in 2024. The songs are firmly embedded in classic heavy metal. There will be two guest appearances on the album: a fierce solo by Stan Havard (Xentrix) and outstanding vocals by Tim Ripper Owens (KK’s Priest, ex-Judas Priest, ex- Iced Earth and many more). The record will be released on 23/09/2024 via Szataniec.
Soulride played dozens of concerts both in the UK and in Poland, supporting several well known Polish bands such as Quo Vadis, Grzegorz Kupczyk and Ceti, Pandemonium.
