THE LIZARDS „The Lizards Rule”
Still too young to call themselves the dinosaurs of rock, but old and experienced enough to be called THE LIZARDS! And surely, they are one of the best rockin band playing nowadays. The concept of THE LIZARDS saw the daylight thanks to Mike DiMeo (RIOT) and Bobby Rondinelli (BOC, RAINBOW, SABBATH).
MARPLOTS „Split From The Dark Side (Promo CD)”
In March 2005 the band started their work and appeared as a newborn child of Italian metal scene. In the same year, they managed to release (all by themselves) a demo, Madness Stabs Your Mind which allowed them to play some gigs across Italy and deliver their music (a hybrid of modern metal, thrash and some nu-metal hints) to a broader public.
LYKAION „The Things I've Left (Demo) ”
The band was formed in 2000 by the former members of another band, called CREEPY SHADOW. After many changes in the line up (Luca Mazzilli, the creator and main vocalist decided to leave the band at the end of 2005), the band managed to stand on their feet and record a demo The Things Ive Left.
MALSTROM „Obligated By Obscurity (Demo) ”
The winter of 2002 was the time of birth of MALSTROM. Long time co-conspirators Mike Capasso and Bill Angelini decided to form their own band and to rock some socks.

SEAR BLISS – Interview with Trombone Player Zoltán Pál
The Arcane Odyssey by SEAR BLISS seems tailor-made for fans of symphonic black metal. Not only did the band adhere to the conventions of black metal such as grim vocals for a grim guitar sound, a raw (although clear) production and blasting drumbeats, they also included uncommon instrumentation. On The Arcane Odyssey, one will hear various brass instruments such as trombone, trumpet and euphonium. This is no high school band nerd album, though; the group designed a sound that is grandiose and epic. Equally if not more important, they managed to separate their group from the millions of Casio-keyboard black metal bands. The Arcane Odyssey is a perfect mix of beautiful harmonies, triumphant brass orchestration and scathing black metal.
These Huns have been creating music of this scale since the early nineties, but due to small-label distribution, were never able to reach a massive scope of fans until now. This being their sixth release should find a much broader audience due to the wide-ranging distribution of Candlelight Records. Trombone player (I never thought I would say trombone and black metal in the same sentence) Zoltán Pál answered a few questions via email about this labyrinthine group.
