Wide Eyes
|
WIDE EYES is an instrumental progressive metal/djent trio from Akron, OH comprised of Chris Saniga (guitars, synths, programming), Chris Vogagis (drums, guitars, synths, drum rrogramming) and Danny Cullman (guitars, synths, keyboards, drum programming, production). The band released their debut album, titled Volume, via Bandcamp on August 21, 2012.
The band's second release, an EP titled The Unreleased EP, was released (also via Bandcamp) on March 1, 2013. These songs were scheduled to be released on an EP called Bioluminescence. It was going to be their first release to feature vocals, but after making the decision to stay instrumental they decided to just start focusing on Album 2. They didn't want these songs to go to waste so Danny used this opportunity to play around with new techniques that he had learned after it was too late to apply them to Volume. This is why each track will sound a bit different from a production standpoint since each mix on each song is different.

Dekadent
|
DEKADENT is a representation of individual expression, based on the foundations of extreme metal music. Not limited by any musical genre, the art of DEKADENT does not avoid tasting the beauty and splendor of melody and exploiting it's emotional vastness. It is not corrupted by the ideals of commercialism as it stands true to creativity and originality no matter the mainstream or public criteria.
Debut album Manifestation of Seasonal Bleeding is a collective of 8 songs, created by one of the pioneers of Slovenian black metal scene, Artur Felicijan. The songs combine the open atmosphere of more accessible musical styles and the virtues of black metal composition. Furious demonic metal soundtrack with ethereal ambiance is leaded by aggressive and hard hitting vocals which are challenged by the placid yet energetic female vocal contribution from Valentina Lacovich. As the music is wrapped in emotional tunes, the words are being covered by impressive lyricism (partly written in native Slovenian language).

Tremonti
|
All I Was reveals another side of Mark Tremonti. The Grammy Award-winning guitarist's style remains instantly recognizable. It's nearly impossible to forget his riffs in multi-platinum rock juggernaut Creed or his scorching fretwork with the critically acclaimed, fan favorite Alter Bridge. Having sold over 40 million records worldwide, this is the man behind massive hits like "My Own Prison", "Higher", and "Isolation"—just to name a few. There are a myriad of reasons why Guitar World dubbed him "Guitarist of the Year" three consecutive years in a row, and he ranked as the "fourth greatest heavy metal guitarist ever" in Total Guitar. You might think you know him from all of that, but you haven't heard Tremonti unleashed like this.

Regarde Les Hommes Tomber
|
Born in 2011, the members of REGARDE LES HOMMES TOMBER are all trained professionals from the French Hardcore, Black Metal and Death Metal scene. Strong in their respective experiences, the band merges its diverse influences to offer a unique, completed and personal style. Combining Sludge's heaviness, Black Metal's darkness, Post Hardcore's groove but also Post Rock's atmospheres, RLHT makes of its work an intense music filled with impact. It is also an introspective work tailored for the musical scene. Each performance brings the crowd to the edge of asphyxiation; the end of each show is an explosion of feelings, finally allowing the audience to take their breath once again. A musical experience that will not leave the spectator unchanged. Even if the hint to the filmmaker J. Audiard isn't very far, there is no link with the movie of the same title. Nevertheless, "REGARDE LES HOMMES TOMBER" aims to be a model in perfect harmony with its own music.
