Music arranged to the soundscapes of sorrows past. Finally the 20th anniversary allows us to release this music in a form it has been desperately, woefully waiting for. Enjoy the Darkness."

Biography:

Two years after the independent release of the self titled promo that tested the waters, acquiring great reviews and a lot of interest in the process, Scar Of The Sun finally finished composing the material for their first full length album.

After an amicable departure of co-founder member Stamos K (guitars, synths, also Mencéa), Scar Of The Sun welcomed bassist Panagiotis and guitarists Alexi and Chris. They joined existing members Achilleas and Terry to complete the ideal line up for the recording sessions that started in October '07.

With Stamos K taking over the engineering duties, Scar Of The Sun contacted and stirred the interest of high-profile producer Rhys Fulber ( Paradise Lost, Fear Factory, Waltari, Motley Crue, Megadeth, Machine Head, Mudvayne, Roadrunner All-stars, Nailbomb, P.O.D., Alice Cooper, Yes, Avril Lavigne, Front Line Assembly, Delerium, Conjure One, Sarah Brightman, etc ) succeeding in securing his collaboration in co-producing and mixing the album.

The album is entitled ‘A Series Of Unfortunate Concurrencies' and it contains 10 tracks spanning approximately 56 minutes of music. The whole production process (recordings, mixing and mastering) took overall 11 months to be completed. The album took its final form in the beginning of September '08.

Apart from Rhys Fulber, the band also had the honour to collaborate with Greg Reely (Paradise Lost, Strapping Young Lad, Theatre Of Tragedy, Fear Factory, Machine Head, The Tea Party, Coldplay, Frontline Assembly, Delerium, Conjure One, Sarah McLachlan, Mediaeval Baebes, etc.), who took over the mastering process of the album. Together they created an outstanding result, samples of which are now uploaded on this page.

The sound of the album is multi-dimensional, blending many elements and influences; from gothic and doom atmospheres to modern electronic samples, from symphonic arrangements to Swedish sound, with a touch of progressive structures and lots of heaviness and drama, all funnelled through Scar Of The Sun's musical concept.

Biography:

THE RETALIATION PROCESS was founded in early 2008 and is known for its powerful and brutal sound with the right amount of rough edges.

Besides their sophisticated killer riffs another characteristic of the band is its independent flair for rousing guitar melodies which adds another deep dimension to their music.

In 2010 Silverwolf Productions released their debut album »Downfall« which contains nine heavily grooving modern metal tracks plus an instrumental and was very well received by both press and audience.

Biography:

Stratovarius is a power metal band from Finland. They became popular in the '90s, and throughout their career have inspired upcoming power metal bands with their baroque arranged keyboard solos & Ritchie Blackmore-like guitar portions. Stratovarius was founded in Finland in 1982 from former members of the band Black Water. They went through a number of personnel and musical changes before the band found its own voice. The founding members were Tuomo Lassila, Staffan Stråhlman and John Vihervä. In 1983, the name was changed to Stratovarius (a portmanteau of Stratocaster and Stradivarius), an idea of Stråhlman's. By 1984, Timo Tolkki entered the band, replacing Stråhlman in the guitar. He took up the vocal duties as well. Tolkki became the driving force and mastermind of the band assuming almost complete control of the song writing. He brought along not only strong rock influences but also a neo-classical tinge. The band released a demo to various record companies by 1987, finally being picked up by CBS Finland. In 1989, their debut album Fright Night was released followed by two singles. After being dropped by CBS the band went through several member changes but they managed to release on another label and they also toured a bit. In 1994 they released their third album, Dreamspace, featuring new bass player Jari Kainulainen, (who joined the band when 70% of the new material was already recorded) which was a great success. Tolkki decided to stop singing for the band and they hired a new full-time singer, Timo Kotipelto.

Biography:

The roots of Dominia are in the backyards of imperial St. Petersburg in 1999. The different combos preceding Dominia where formed by singer Anton Rosa and his mate Daniel, guitarist and co-lyricist. Anton Rosa has been the main songwriter from the start. After a few years of building up a new band they made a significant addition. Violinist and keyboard player Casper became a new member and gave a definitive and clear direction of style to the outfit. The band was named Dominia and the style formed itself to a fusion of different influences. These where especially gothic metal and classical music. The combination of diverse elements did not become a mechanical combination of styles, but a character thatto this day defines the music of Dominia. Besides working with the band, which now also included Papa, a former street fighter, on drums, did the individual skills of Rosa and Casper develop in other areas. Rosa graduated as an actor from St.Petersburg's Academy of theatrical art. Casper finished his classes at the Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatoire. The growing interest in Dominia in the metal clubs of St.Petersburg was accelerated by Casper joining forces with a second violinist, the experienced musician Kat. They both played at that time in the symphony orchestra of the State Capella of St.Petersburg. Kat joined Dominia after a split up with a previous metal band. Konsta Byleev of the metal management agency Big Brother Entertainment met Dominia at a live venue.

...LOTD excels at what they do and that’s writing solid, heavy thrash that stays well within the established genre confines. Never pushing the boundaries but definitely using all the tricks of the trade to bash the listener into jelly, you know what to expect from LOTD. If you like The Crown or thrash in general, this is right down your dark alley. Check in and get beaten down...rating 3.5/5 read the review here

...The album is packed with a combination of heavy bottom, crushing riffs, breakneck rhythms and highlighted by menacing vocals. If you like a lot of chug and groove in your thrash you’ll want this record...rating 7.7/10 read the review here

...With their fifth release Descent Into Chaos in perfect shape, Legion of the Damned can now close all five of their fingers and they just need to hold out that powerful fist of theirs, and everyone else in the vicinity would automatically be warned...rating 4/5 read the review here

...Soul Saliva is an absolute monster. I was wishing and hoping for something of this quality but was stunned when I first heard the CD. The band sounds great, obviously, but way more confident in their abilities. The material is even better as the band has clearly sharpened their knack for hooks --- there are several songs that rival “Vampires” (from their debut) as standouts...I don’t rate records on this site but if I did, The LoveCrave’s Soul Saliva would easily get a “10 out of 10”.... read the review here

...PLEASE add this one to your collection for your own good!... rating 5/5 read the review here

...The Italian way to melodic female metal is not only Lacuna Coil…The LoveCrave confirms to realize another unforgettable album that even if in my opinion gets one not great track, it is surely one of the best album in this 2010....rating 10/10 read the review here

http://www.filesonic.com/file/34651937/Svart_Crown-Witnessing_The_Fall-2010-FiH.rar

...Having only briefly tackled Svart Crown's debut I can't say for certain if this beats it but I can say for sure it's just as good. It's modern, charismatic and exceptionally well balanced and perfectly complements the death-ier side of , Deathspell Omega whose fans I can visualise flocking to Svart Crown in droves. Don't be fooled though, they ain't no DsO wannabes; they have their own path and are traversing it with lethal abandon....rating 9/10 read the review here

...Svart Crown have taken what could be a clichéd sound (let’s face it – blackened death metal HAS been done before) and mixed it with an unexpected doom vibe. This, for me anyway, is what makes this album stand out from what’s becoming an increasingly large crowd. While it would have been easier (and a little safer) to come up with something less adventurous and complex, it’s not really what Black Metal is about. This album is different, and spellbinding. At any second you never really know where any song will head off to. Incredibly, it always seems to be the right direction... read the review here

...As a whole, however, Witnessing the Fall is what it is: straight ahead classic Death Metal that will melt your face off. It is nothing to really write home about, but it is just experimental enough to hold your interest and brutal enough to make you want to keep playing it again and again. I recommend it for any self respecting Metal fan..... read the review here

...It’s great to hear the songs build in intensity, like a wall of water looming over a doomed city, only to break at the last second and save the city from total destruction! If you’re just trying to give Altar of Plagues a casual listen, chances are you won’t like them; but if you really commit to learning the intricacies of their song writing, you’ll open yourself up to a whole new world of music and sound. Tides is a great release and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s a fan of this genre of metal. For me, it’s a must buy, I just hope they remember their melodic roots a little bit more in the future....rating 4/5 read the review here

...All in all, though I’d much rather hear another full-length from this Irish band, these two songs whet the appetite nicely until the crepuscular, creaking world they apparently inhabit inspires them to further feats of sorrowful, avant-garde bleakness. ... rating 75/100 read the review here
