It has always been hard to put a tag on GOJIRA, one of France’s most extreme bands the country’s musical pallet has ever known. But then again, the band has never really sought out such a tag, instead letting the music do the talking, preferring introspection and intelligence over preconceived notions and preexisting tags. Ever since the 1996 formation in town of Bayonne in the south west of France, GOJIRA has been an ever-evolving experiment in extreme metal ultimately built upon a worldly, ever-conscious outlook with roots firmly-planted in an environmentally-conscious, new age mentality. GOJIRA’s second album “The Link” is now available in LIMITED EDITION DIGIPACK (2000 COPIES ONLY) WITH EXCLUSIVE GOJIRA GUITAR PICK.

After starting out in 1998 as OVERLANDER , it is only in 2002 that the parisian band OUTCAST really launched its career with the release of its first 4 track CD “The Source Of All Creation” which gave the band its tone and musical direction : Thrash tinted with Death Metal. The EP received an excellent response from the specialized media, and in only a few months enabled the band to make a name for itself on the French underground scene. In 2003, OUTCAST gave a series of concerts and shared the stage with more and more important bands while preparing their full length album. In February 2004, OUTCAST signed a licence agreement with the French label Thundering Records, which is distributed everywhere in Europe. ‘First Call / Last Warning’ was released on March 2005 and includes 10 tracks which combine the power of Swedish Thrash Metal with the intensity of Death Metal, but also featuring great melodies. Between 2005 and 2007 OUTCAST gave concerts all over France and Belgium to promote their first album, sharing the stage with various well known national and international names. At the same time, between 2006 and 2007 the group recorded the follow up to ‘First Call / Last Warning’ at the Unmuted Studio, directed by Aur lien Mauro (Skeleton Crew). September 2008, “Self-Injected Reality” is released. This 2nd record introduces a more personal style of Metal which is both varied and technical, alternating between frenzied blast beats, captivating melodies and cleverly placed breaks, all of which combine to form complex structures. In 2009, OUTCAST released its debut music video, directed by Ka1n & B-Lial for Kaedethfilm, for the song “Feelings Transgression”. 2012 is the year of a new era, the long-awaited 3rd record “Awaken the Reason” is here!

No one would accuse glam rockers Blessed By a Broken Heart of hopping on current musical trends to achieve greatness. Rather then drawing influence from what is hot this week, BBABH are carving out their niche by looking back and embracing the still-relevent, yet largely MIA, shred metal of the past. With their latest album, the appropriately titled “Feel The Power”, Blessed has created a pulse-raising, headbang inducing, ’80s influenced rock assault that is legitmately refreshing in a hard rock scene dominated by clones.
