ISOLE - Born from Shadows

ISOLE "Born from Shadows" Style: Doom Metal Country: Sweden Release Date: 28 Oct 11 (EU), 25 Oct 11 (US)

ISOLE formed under the name Forlorn back in 1990 with two sole members, Crister and Daniel. Several demo tapes were recorded in the 1990's, including Waves of Sorrow in 1994 — a recording still revered by Epic Doom Metal fans.
After a few years of turmoil, in which the band suffered myriad line-up changes, I Hate Records approached them in 2003. With a newly signed contract and much motivation, the band saw it fit to adopt a new moniker, thus becoming ISOLE.
ISOLE's debut album "Forevermore" was released in early 2005 and followed up with a 7", "The Beyond", in early 2006. The next album, "Throne of Void", released in the summer of 2006, delivered an even darker sound than its critically acclaimed predecessor.
The next step in Isole's journey was the release of "Bliss of Solitude", which was recorded, mixed, and produced at Studio Apocalypse by the band themselves. The mastering was done by Thomas Nilsson, and Peter Sallai provided the finishing touches with his magnificent yet eerie cover artwork. „Bliss of Solitude" received overwhelming positive feedback from fans and critics alike.
However, Isole did not fall prey to idleness and continuously worked on new material for their fourth album "Silent Ruins". It was an ambitious concept album, in which the band ventured into new territories by incorporating more variation and increasing the pace of the songs.
After releasing four albums in four years, Isole slowed things down. They decided to take a break from the studio and focus on playing live in order to gain some perspective before returning to the songrwriting process. After touring in more than 10 countries, ISOLE was ready to tackle their latest opus.
ISOLE's fifth release "Born from Shadows" is the continuation of a story that began in 2005 with "Moonstone" on the debut album "Forevermore" and then "Shadowstone" on "Bliss of Solitude". On "Born from Shadows" the two stones symbolize two opposites that finally come together to become one: darkness meets light, death meets life, and good meets evil.
With their first releases, ISOLE was able to secure an excellent reputation within the doom metal underground. They have now elevated their status even further with their last two albums, "Bliss of
Solitude" and "Silent Ruins". Their current work, "Born from Shadows", impressively maintains their well-earned position and lays any doubts as to their superiority to rest. The Swedish quartet understands more than any other band how to effectively merge hypnotic melodies with viscous guitar lines. The album's main focus is undeniably the heavy riffs, but occasional digressions into more aggressive realms, where growls and vicious drumming reign, also find their niche. As such, even the epic tracks remain tantalizing and require one's complete attention, so as not to miss the fine details of this musical tristesse. The dark euphonious landscapes relate the third part of the "Moonstone Trilogy", which dates back to the band's debut. The story of an endless struggle between good and evil couldn't have found a better soundtrack than that of "Born from Shadows". The four Swedes guarantee genuine and essential doom metal. Get it now and lose yourself! Once again the album was recorded and mixed by ISOLE at Apocalypse and Gustavo Sazes (Arch Enemy, Firewind) provided his artistic know-how to convey a feeling of mysticism and darkness through his symbolic artwork, while Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Enslaved) took on the mastering responsibilities.

SPECTRAL MORTUARY - Total Depravity CD

From the unholy depths of "Total Depravity," Spectral Mortuary reigns with with fists of iron and ready for battle. Dark, heavy hymns of death metal with a pummelling lowend only the devil himself could match. These Danes have sunk to the deepest bowels to unearth "Total Depravity," the band's follow-up to 2007 debut album, "From Hate Incarnated" (Mighty Music). A leap of epic scale with tons of force, backed by mixing and mastering by legendary Dan Swano (Edge of Sanity). Denmark has never sounded so bleak and crushing all in the same collection of masterfully composed death.

Visions of Atlantis - Maria Magdalena MCD

Visions of Atlantis "Maria Magdalena MCD"
Style: Symphonic Metal
Country: Austria
Release Date: 21 Oct 11 (EU), 25 Oct 11 (US)
Fascinated by the myths surrounding legendary Atlantis, the band Visions of Atlantis was formed in 2000. After completing their first demo CD, it took less than a year before the band found a label in Black Arrows/TTS. The company released the first full-length album, "Eternal Endless Infinity", in Europe and later worldwide.
Fueled by the positive feedback, the band not only toured with bands like Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, or Edenbridge but also played at festivals across Europe, Latin America and Asia, including the Busan Rock Festivals in front of more than 20,000 spectators. In the summer of 2003, singer Mario Plank joined Visions of Atlantis and became an important part in the characteristic VoA sound with his heavier, yet still very melodic vocal style. Furthermore, the band signed a recording deal with the well-known Austrian label Napalm Records, which released the band's second studio effort "Cast Away" worldwide in November 2004.
To mark the release, Visions of Atlantis produced their first official music video to the track "Lost", which received significant airplay on VIVA and MTV, and made it possible for the band to present the album on their first European tour alongside Epica.
In 2005 and 2006, Visions of Atlantis worked hard on new material and played gigs with the likes of Elis, Nightwish, and Edenbridge. In May 2007, the third album "Trinity" was released by Napalm Records. The artwork was designed by the renowned Anthony Clarksson, who had already made himself a name in the metal-scene by working for Exodus and Blind Guardian, among others.
The following autumn brought Visions of Atlantis to the United States, where the band toured together with Epica for 6 weeks and won numerous new fans. Upon returning, the band went through changes in the line-up.
The remaining members continued their work and in 2008 and 2009, Visions of Atlantis not only looked for a replacement for Melissa Ferlaak (ex-Aesma Daeva, Echoterra), but also wrote the song material for the fourth album "Delta", which will be released worldwide via Napalm Records at the end of February 2011.
With the extraordinary Greek female vocalist Maxi Nil, known for her work with Moonspell and her former band Elysium, the band was not only once again complete, but her addition added a unique touch to the new material.
As with "Trinity", Visions of Atlantis entered the Dreamsound Studios in Munich (Germany) in the middle of 2010 to record the "Trinity" successor under the supervising eyes of the producing team consisting of Mario Lochert and Jan Vacik. After months of hard work in the studio, "Delta" was completed in November 2010!
The elaborate and detailed orchestral arrangements mixed with the powerful and diverse guitar work, and the captivating vocal lines make "Delta" a perfect mix between the already existing trademarks of the band and new courageous elements. The result offers also highly varied, yet tight album that takes the hearts of the symphonic metal fans by storm. Visions of Atlantis first embarked on their musical journey over 10 years ago. Now, with their latest album "Delta", they deliver an impressive mix of epic power and pureemotion. Their recent tour in support of this release couldn't have been more successful. Not only did the band members, including new vocalist Maxi Nil, win over countless new fans, but they also grew closer together, as is evident in the band's latest MCD, which offers 5 brand-new songs, as well as one re-recording. Visions of Atlantis empowers the opening track, an epic symphonic version of Sandra's "Maria Magdalena", while capturing the original spirit of the '80s hit. The vocal duet comprising Maxi Nil and Mario Plank give the song a welcomed dynamic. "Melancholia", "Change of Tides", and "Distant Shores" uncover the band's orchestrally appealing style, while the re-recording of "Last Shut of Your Eyes" and "Beyond Horizon" wind this work down with a soulful and dreamy edge. "Maria Magdalena" presents yet another side to Visions of Atlantis' magical creative spectrum and will certainly influence the band's future journey, wherever it may take them.
