FIELDS OF IARU – Interview with Fields of Iaru
Jumping the black metal scene with a melodic vengeance England's upcoming unsigned act intrigues attention with it's latest debut EP Alone in Inertia. Roughly consisting of dark lyrical upheavals, erratic harmonies blending Egyptian doom metal to sinister elevations the freshman release conveys the hidden messages on what makes the group a separate entity unto its own. Explaining the past, present and future vocalist Anubis AmonRA guides one on a journey to the steps amongst the Fields of Iaru.
UNEXPECT – Interview with Chatoh
UNEXPECT is not for common listeners of Metal, nor for orthodox. Their music is product resultant many Metal and non-Metal species, for which the base is creating by Metal sounds. First of all UNEXPECT is unexpected, surprising and surely mad Unfortunately I made interview in time of shows and ChaotH wasn't too talkative. Maybe they energy what they put in their show absorbs them entirely

Audrey Horne might be a girls name, but it is not for sure a girlsband. But for those who were expecting a sound alike Gorgoroth or Enslaved, just forget it.
LOITS „Vere Kutse Kohustab (Obliged by the Call of Blood)”
Much like ENTOMBED playing deathnroll, Estonias LOITS has created its own style of extreme metal, ala black metal, mixed with rocknroll, which they would come to describe as flaknroll. The group mentioned the meaning of this term saying flak rhymes with black (like black metal) and means anti-air gun, so basically it describes the band as militant black metal rocknroll, a fitting description.
