INCORDIA

2012 wurde Incordia von den beiden Gitarristen Christopher W. und Leander F. gegründet. Nach diversen Proben und lustigem Beisammensein stellte sich aber heraus, dass etwas fehlt. Richtig ein brachiales und aussagekräftiges Schlagwerk. Also machten sich die beiden auf die Suche nach einem Schlagzeuger.
Wer sich jetzt denkt, das geht schnell= Pustekuchen. Ende des Jahres wurden sie fündig. Mit Robin F. fanden sie einen Schlagzeuger, der sowohl die Fähigkeiten besaß Schlagzeug zu spielen, als auch sie mit den beiden Gründern zusammen zu tun und das Ganze sowas von Krachen zu lassen, wie es das sonst nur an Silvester tut. So arbeitete sich Robin aka Mobin sehr schnell in die bereits 4 nagelneuen, während der Suche geschriebenen Songs ein. So kam es, wie es kommen musste und während des Jahreswechels 2012/2013 entstand in dem bandeigenen Tonstudio-Schmieden-Verschnitt das erste Demoalbum "Terramorphous". Seit Mai 2013 hat Incordia auch einen Baass in Lion L. gefunden. Im Dezember 2013 hat Gitarrist Chris W. die Band verlassen. Der Platz wurde bereits im Januar 2014 von Pascal B. ehrwürdig ersetzt. Seit Mai wurde das Team von Kari als Frontfrau ergänzt. Aktuell sitzen die Jungs am ersten Studioalbum, für das eine Veröffentlichung im Herbst 2014 geplant ist.

SPECTRAL DARKWAVE

Formed in a trans-continental pact between twin brothers Steve and Dan Kennedy, the symphonic death metal of London based Spectral Darkwave captures epic fragments of horror from across time, space and the multiverse. Fusing the limitless possibilities outlined in early computer music, European and doom metal, the band’s grinding rhythms and twisted melodies deliver a crushing reminder of the depravities carried out in the name of human progress.

Using their mechanical creation ‘The Slavedriver’ (Strings/FX/Horror) to bring the full vision to existance and with hundreds of shows under their collective belt, Spectral Darkwave offer a live experience unmatched on the unsigned circuit - especially if the venue allows them use of the green, alchemical flame they pack in their flight cases. Their live show is not to be missed.

With their debut album Last First Contact out 30th March 2015, the band will unleash a journey into the many hells of mankind, with each song forming an exhibit in the grotesque gallery of human endeavor. The album weaves a tapestry of horror wrought on the cries of bereft mothers, nuclear strikes and epic orchestral flourishes. 

“We’ve always really respected songs that paint a picture and sound like they’d look. Giving you choruses just when you want and then dropping from massive heights – we hope it hits the spot”, comments Steve (Vocals/Guitars/Programming).

After the departure of long-time collaborator and bassist Ben Bueno, Jon Stokes took up the mantle, bringing a unique power and finesse as well as considerable skill in the production of the upcoming release. Last First Contact was recorded on a range of home studio setups making use of the best digital tools the band could get their hands on over the course of two years. As Drummer Dan explains, “For the scale we were going for, you can’t half arse it these days – no one wants your garage recording, go hi-def or go home!” Vocals were recorded in the positive atmosphere of La La Land studio in North London where the recording really came to life under the guidance of engineer Fred Lagergren.

With the release of Last First Contact, Spectral Darkwave will launch their grand venture upon the ears of the metal masses around the country, world and beyond.

Dark adventure awaits!

NEOPLASMAH

Formed in 1997 under the name of Systematic Collision, after many line-up changes and some demo-tapes recorded, they changed name to Neoplasmah and found their definite line-up in late 2002. Dozens and dozens of gigs somewhere all over Portugal were done and in 2003 they started to record their 1st album "Sidereal Passage".
Unfortunately during the recording sessions some line-up changes had to be done and respective parts needed to be re-recorded. With a final and stable line-up (which remains untouchable untill today) again dozens of gigs were done all over the country, with presence in many well known festivals, and the album was unleashed during 2004 by the label Nebula Records/Dark Music Production.
During 2005 the band entered a hiatus of 7 years and returned again in 2012 to full activity. The band started the recordings for their 2nd album in February and played live a couple of times during 2012. In early November they finished the recordings.

ELVELLON

In 2010 the founding members Pascal and Martin laid the foundation stone for what later should become Elvellon. The writing of the music was not an planned process but a natural and first undefined development from many sources of inspiration. After Martin met their soon-to-be singer Nele by sheer chance on a party in late summer of the same year the band was able to find their own musical way. 
In 2012 they came to know Gilbert, who played in an other Band from their hometown Moers named „Ravian“ with whom they just shared a rehearsal room. First he helped out the band by recording some demos and became a regular member on new year’s eve. Since then the band felt more than ever complete and the progression accelerated at a great pace. The main reasons for that were an extended period of hard working on new songs, a lyrical concept and suitable artwork. 
An early outcome of this process was their very first concert, which they played in front of 250 people with an unusual high level of professionalism. The reactions were so overwhelming and numerous that Elvellon put all that gained motivation in the work for their first CD. On The 18th of October 2013 they released the single „Oraculum“ via Bandcamp.com . A 5-Track EP named „Spellbound“ will follow on the 30th of January 2015 as a digital release as well as physical CD.

THE NIGHTSTALKER

The history of Nightstalker begins at the origin in the group Sercati, black progressive metal. In this formation Steve "Serpent" Fabry, bassist-singer-songwriter, begins to tell the story of the angel. In the first cd of Sercati, we follow the fall of the angel and the search for his place in a foreign world. But, the character takes another dimension by the writing and publication of a book called "Le journal du Nightstalker" because music, finally, tells a small part of the history of the character and his universe. Steve needs to go further and determine and decide all this in parallel to a personal musical project where he can express all the feelings of his character and his universe.

EVIL LUCIFERA


The band Evil Lucifera was founded by Italian singer Evil Lucifera at the end of 2009. After various experiences in bands where she wasn’t able to fully express her views on music and where her compositional skills are valued, she decided to embark on a solo path using collaborations with other musicians. The first Evil Lucifera CD “Atrium Infernalis” is out with " La Mazakuata Records " The music is symphonic and aggressive black metal, where force and violence are mixed with majestic keyboard melodies. The aggressive compositions are enriched at times by melancholic decadent elements. The overall sound is powerful and violent, there is no use of clean vocals, giving a total preference to screams and growling. The lyrics are surrounded by a misanthropic, Satanic and anti-Christian aura, hatred and vengeance are linked to the strong anger towards this world and its hypocrisy, touching religious themes, a constant search for spiritual superiority, a search of higher Satanic beliefs, of divine punishment for the stupidity of the masses.

KONTAGION

The idea of the band was born in late summer of 2007 when UNBORN SUFFER's guitarist/vocalist Damian "Sfenson' Bednarski and ENEMY DIVISION's vocalist Krzysztof "Grim" Nowicki spontanously decided to form a band together. It was then decided that the band will play with a drum machine. So the band needed only a bassist to fill in the line-up. Sfenson's first (and last) suggestion was ENEMY DIVISION's bassist Lukasz "Piehoo" Pieszczynski. Sfenson and Piehoo already talked several times before about forming a project, so they decided now's the time to go with it. The band was ready to rehearse in November. The most important problem was the name of the project. Grim said, he didn't want the band with double-barelled name, but just one strong word to define the band. It was more difficult, but finally, Piehoo, after browsing through the scientific-technical dictionary at his working place, suggested the word "CONTAGION'. But, Sfenson found few bands already called like that, however they decided to stay with this name, they changed only C letter onto K one.


3 tracks were written and made quickly for a first EP. The recording of the EP took place in February 2008 in DREAM FACTORY studio in Bydgoszcz (studio in which UNBORN SUFFER and ENEMY DIVISION recorded their albums). Mixing nad mastering was taken care by Przemek "Smiechu" Staszak. The EP was simlpy entitled "!".

After that KONTAGION started writing material for full-lenght album, but later on some problems appeared and the whole idea was put on hold for nearly 4 months. In July ENEMY DIVISION deprated. Grim and Sfenson started talking about continuing KONTAGION. At the beginning of september 2008 Sfenson and ex UNBORN SUFFER drummer Jakub "Qbadrummer" Siemiatkowski decided to play together as KONTAGION. KONTAGION ressurected developing from a project to a real band. Bassist Piehoo didn't want to participate in the band no more because of his commitment in a new band NIHIL QUEST, so his place was taken by UNBORN SUFFER's bassist Piotr "Malpa" Lukasik. Jakub "Qbadrummer" Siemiatkowski took the position of drummer.

In this line-up we played our first gigs and started writing material for a debut album. In december 2008 the band recorded a promo track "D.A M.C.D." which was published in april 2009.

In october 2009 Qbadrummer quit KONTAGION. He was replaced by Wojciech "Blady" Strusiewicz, former drummer of the bands DISTRUST ( band in which he played toghether with Grim for a short time) and PUTREFACTION. We played our first gig with him on 18.12. in Estrada stagebar. After this gig Małpa decided to quit the band. In march 2010 Adam "Dex" Napora started handling bass duties. The band started extensive gig playing and in October 2010 entered DREAM FACTORY studio once again to record it's first full lenght. Recording lasted one month and the album was mixed in IX STUDIO in Świecie by Michał Barski .

After the recording session vocalist Grim was forced to leave Poland and had to quit the band. Sfenson took over main vocal duties and In december 2010 KONTAGION's line-up was expanded by keyboardist Mikołaj "Majk" Marcysiak. In January band greeted new vocalist Dariusz "Dark" Tofiło ( ex- UNBORN SUFFER, ex- WYROCK). KONTAGION continued on playing gigs. On May 17th the band released an album sampler available for free download, and 10.09.2011 was the date of realase of our first videoclip fot the song "[S.O.B.E.R.]" The debut album came out September 14th 2011.

In 2012 KONTAGION underwent another line-up changes. The original bassist and key songwriter Łukasz "Piehoo" Pieszczyński rejoined the band. Drummer Blady quit and the band decided not to search for a new drummer and returned to playing with a drum machine like in the beginnings. We are writing new material and getting ready to record a new LP. PREPARE FOR DESTRUCTION!
