For fans of: Devin Townsend , Royal Hunt , and Eternal Champion

Hailing from Jacksonville, Florida , SKYLINER is a wave of discontent and a voyage to freedom, with a progressive mind’s eye at the center of the storm. Lyrically esoteric, insightful, or emotionally shipwrecked, a tide of vocal wails and roars collides with pure toned, high-volume guitars, bass, and drums, an alchemical marriage recalling the classic era of heavy and power metal while adding new stones onto that eternal foundation.

“ Dark Rivers, White Thunder ” also sees the band exploring some more earthy, tribal themes and underpinnings, both lyrically and musically, helping to define the feel and atmosphere of the record.

Fans of Devin Townsend , Royal Hunt , and Eternal Champion are going to love Skyliner ! Their new album, Dark Rivers, White Thunder, has progressive musicianship mixed with elements of traditional heavy metal. Skyliner has several ranges of vocal styles, starting with epic Iron Maiden -esque wailing, screaming that is reminiscent of Judas Priest , and sinister growls that will make any death metal head happy. All of that is tied together with a thunderous rhythm section that will have you fist pumping the sky in no time! – Zach Moonshine

The new full length album “ Dark Rivers, White Thunder ” will be released January 30th!

Check out this lyric video from the upcoming record! 

Track Listing:
1. Break The Surface
2. Dark Rivers, White Thunder
3. The Ghost Messenger

Diabology destroys the polls in December 2020 winning the battle of the bands and becomes band Of The Month for January 2021 with 14,770 total votes!

Diabology are a teenage thrash metal band from Los Angeles, CA. Members Jesse Bergen (guitar and vocals), Jack Kleinman (guitar), Joseph Mazisyuk (bass), and Matthew Morales (drums), met up on the rock school circuit. They were united by a love of metal and a desire to break out of the rock school mold to start working on original material. Defying the many subgenres of metal, they choose to simply call their music thrash, a tribute to the old school sounds of the late eighties, with a young and refreshing voice.

Watch This Music Video!

The band began playing many well-attended and prestigious gigs around the Los Angeles area, but things really took a turn when they released their debut LP, ‘Nobody Believes Me’. Taking the metal world by storm, the album was featured in countless magazines and received a fair share of radio play but the icing on the cake was when their song “Defiling Innocents” made it to the top of Kerrang’s American Excess Spotify playlist. 

There is no saying where Diabology will go from here. Catch them locally while you still can.

Dividing the Ocean “DTO” was formed in the beginning of 2020. Dan and Chris (both guitarists) often had the idea of writing their own songs and realized it at the mid of 2019. After a while, the whole project has grown and the big search for new members began. In January 2020 they found Johannes, who helps them out on drums. In May 2020, the second Johannes joined DTO as bassist. Last but not least, DTO finally got their front man Samuel at the end of September 2020.

About the song:
In times of corona, it´s always difficult to meet your family and friends. And its also difficult to do the thing we love, which is making music together. With this video, we tried something different, to bring our music to the world. Every single band member has his own television and can be a part in a new way.

Another blast from the twilight has been delivered by the german black metal squad STIRIAH.

Two years after the last full length album “Aurora”, the four guys from Berlin released their newest piece of black metal craftmansship “Into The Depths”. A free fall into the chaos of the human mind, guided by the sirens of the underworld, dissonant riffs and blastbeats.

The band comments:
“We are proud to present you our musically version of dantes inferno.
It seems like the only good thing about the pandemic is, that a lot of great material can be written, when there is nothing else you can do.”

New Album “Due” Out February 12, 2021

Recently announcing their signing to Rockshots Records for the release of their new album “Due” on February 12, 2021,  BLUE HOUR GHOSTS are sharing the new music video for their second single “On Black Clouds”. The music video was shot and directed by talented multimedia artist and musician Snovonne Drake (Sno Drake Design & Media).

The band comments on the track and the video:

“We had the opportunity to work with an incredibly talented artist like Snovonne to realize the music video for this song. She was able to perfectly capture the mood of the single and provided an amazing visual counterpart for such an intense track. On Black Clouds was one of the last songs we completed for the record. The tune almost wrote itself after our singer Ricky came up with the draft ideas, and it just clicked right in like a missing puzzle piece for the album. We immediately found out that it worked out pretty well as a single, exposing our catchiest and most emotional side with its pop-rock and darkwave nuances. The song is a fast-paced run about how fast things go by and everything changes all of a sudden, and how ready we should be for this; the tension accumulates and then drops down in the cathartic refrain, where we let ourselves be carried away by insubstantial black clouds, foretelling a darker sky to come, rolling past present days.”

The music video for “On Black Clouds” can be viewed on YouTube.

BLUE HOUR GHOSTS’ forthcoming  “Due” is the follow up to their 2016 self-titled debut album. Teaming up once again with Giuseppe “Dualized” Bassi (session musician for Fear Factory, Grenouer, Levania, Noveria), BHG’s “Due” is their sophomore effort continuing their blend of progressive, classic, gothic metal, and alternative rock.

Taking a fresh, powerful, and intense melodic assault, “Due” depicts a wide range of soundscapes ranging from full metal aggression to soft, acoustic atmospheres, passing through infectious and catchy hooks and refrains that will enthrall any music addict, along with sophisticated layered arrangements to satisfy the most demanding palates. Throughout the 9 songs, all the ghosts hiding in the blue hour are made alive in the deep and heartfelt narration provided by both music and lyrics, offering a unique and compelling listening experience.

Keyboardist Simome Pedrazzi comments about the new album:

“With “Due” we are trying to engage new and established fans with an enjoyable, fresh, and yet sophisticated multi-level listening experience. All the nine songs offer an abundance of hooks that can stick into the ear from the first listen and remain impressed into the listener’s mind, stimulating his/her curiosity. There is no room for boredom, as within each song and throughout all the album, powerful and atmospheric sections alternate with each other in a seamless flow, thus keeping the attention high. The variety of musical colours displayed throughout the album and the extreme care we put into obtaining a lush and polished sound will allow for an extremely pleasant sonic experience.”

Magdeburg, Germany – On January 24, 2021 solo artist CHRIS MARAGOTH releases together with his best friend NEUN a new EP called “A VILE GATHERING” on Bandcamp and SoundCloud. This EP will be free for download on both platforms.  

“A VILE GATHERING” will contain 3 instrumental songs. These songs are named after rare and mythic Magic The Gathering cards of the ancient and majestic ELDRAZI race. Alien-like creatures, originating from the ethers between the planes, devouring all mana and life energy until every world is obliterated. Three of the most over-powered titan-forms are the REALITY SMASHER, the OBLIVION SOWER, and the VOID WINNOWER.  

Take a pinch of Deathcore and a dash of Modern Melodic Metal, add a bit of Djent to the mix and then you got a good description of what to expect when you listen to “A VILE GATHERING”.  

Check out the latest single of Bandcamp

https://chrismaragoth.bandcamp.com/track/gods-of-resentment-feat-neun

Being a guitarist primarily, Chris writes, arranges and records instrumental and vocal parts on his own.Occasionally Chris collaborates with other musicians, but mostly friends and former band mates.

The musical style is a fluent transition between several genres of rock and metal music, but can be mostly described as modern rock and melodic metal.

Release date: 2021-01-24
