Midnight Odyssey
|
Midnight Odyssey was officially formed in early 2007. Dis Pater, the sole member of the project, began writing music for the then unnamed project as far back as 1999, and it wasn't until 2003 when a possible name for this project was conceived. Through many years of writing and experimenting with different sounds, it was time to make the project official, and in 2007, some songs were recorded and posted on myspace under the band name, "Midnight Odyssey".
Though these recordings were never officially pressed (and more than likely, never will), the idea to have Midnight Odyssey as a boundless artistic concept was born. In 2008, the first album, "The Forest Mourners" was recorded with a home setup, and released as a self-funded Pro CD-r limited to 100 copies. Later in the year, it would officially be made available for a free download for a limited time.

Icon & The Black Roses
|
What we know today to be the band Icon & The Black Roses started four years ago when Johnny decided to start his own band in 1999. He met David, the band's former drummer and together they started "Blue Obsession". During this period they had a hard time finding suitable elements for the band and after several people coming in and out of the band, Johnny and David decided to record a demo anyways. Together they went to Espinha, who was a good friend of Johnny's since childhood, and they started recording a demo at his place. In the meantime Luis (keyboard player) and Ana (singer) joined the band in time to record their parts in songs like "Remember" and "No More" . The demo called "4 Winter Songs" took six months to record.

Iommi
|
Tony Iommi is synonymous with heavy rock, having more or less invented the genre single-handedly with the dark and doom of Black Sabbath.
Born on February 19, 1948, in Birmingham, England, Iommi picked up the guitar after being inspired by the likes of Hank Marvin & the Shadows as a teenager. By 1967, Iommi had played with several blues-based rock bands, and formed a group (Earth) with three old acquaintances from his school days — bassist Terry "Geezer" Butler, drummer Bill Ward, and singer John "Ozzy" Osbourne.

Gary Moore
|
Acknowledged as one of the finest musicians that the British Isles has ever produced, and with a career that dated back to the 1960s, there were few musical genres that Gary Moore had not turned his adroit musical hand to. Gracing the line-ups of several notable rock bands, Thin Lizzy, Colosseum II and (The Original) Skid Row, in his time, he also established himself as a world-class guitarist, with few equals. Gary was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on April 4th 1952. Like many others, he was turned on to rock and roll first through hearing Elvis Presley, and then via The Beatles. Seeing the likes of Jimi Hendrix and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in his hometown in the mid-60s opened up to him the rich world of The Blues. Hearing the art of the blues guitar performed by such lauded exponents as Peter Green fired Moore's nascent talent, and it wasn't long before he was being hailed as a teen musical prodigy. Indeed, it was Green himself who helped foster Moore's career, a debt that was repaid handsomely when Gary cut his warm and heartfelt tribute to his mentor, the 'Blues For Greeny' album, released in 1995.

Pyrithion
|
Pyrithion have created a dark and intense death metal record almost overnight. The individual members' prior success aside, the music speaks for itself.
Singer Tim Lambesis, who is best known for his work as the front man of As I Lay Dying, explains: "I have wanted to do a heavier and more traditionally metal band for a while. Being that I own a recording studio, I thought a great place to start was by asking my engineer who the best guitar player is that he has recorded. I wanted to team him up with one of my favorite guitar players growing up."

Twisted Tower Dire
|
In the year of 1995, when metal was being viciously suffocated by an almost supernaturally lame mainstream pop culture, TWISTED TOWER DIRE was born. Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Candlemass, these were the teachers. After releasing two cult demo cassettes, several split EPs and contributing to various sampler CD's to critical acclaim, the band began a partnership with long time fan and Solstice main man/guitarist Rich Walker. He had recently begun a new label called The Miskatonic Foundation and offered to support the recording and distribution of the first TWISTED TOWER DIRE album.

A Pale Horse Named Death
|
"A PALE HORSE NAMED DEATH is the brainchild of Brooklyn, NY native Sal Abruscato, and sounds like Alice in Chains mysteriously sneaking up behind Type O Negative with a butcher knife while being filmed for a future episode of "Law & Order". Critical acclaim has been quick upon the announcement of the album's June release.
Sal's partner in crime on "And Hell Will Follow Me" is Matt Brown, sound engineer extraordinaire and guitarist of fellow NY band SEVENTH VOID. "The chemistry between me and Matt is unique and flawless very rare in today's music. We are the murdering evil version of Lennon and McCartney." says Abruscato.

(In)Trance
|
The group formed in the Arzamas Nizhny Novgorod region of the Russian Federation in June, 2009 by Ivan (vocals, lead guitar), Denis (rhythm guitar), Dmitry (bass), and Kirill (drums). The theme of the band's music encompasses feelings of rage and melancholy, realized by combining doom rhythms and motifs with vigorous Knead in the spirit of the various traditional areas of extreme and more modern metal. There is a touch of progressive (non-standard structure of compositions). The band's music takes the listener out of the world of reality to another, mysterious, dark and a little childish realm. These feelings are perfectly displayed through the group's live performances. The lyrics also tell of heroes who live in this parallel reality, or expose our own, unparalleled.
