Jeff Scott Soto - one of today's premier rock frontmen and vocalists - and a union of hotshot young musicians bring you a slamming blend of melody and muscle in some of the freshest power metal to surface in years present. Together they are SOTO, and their debut album, "Inside The Vertigo", will blow your mind away. SOTO is comprised of Jeff's most current solo band: Jorge Salan (lead guitar), BJ (keyboards, guitars), David Z (bass) and Edu Cominato (drums). Soto adds: "These guys come from different parts of the world and bring their own influence to make this band very special. From the U.S. to Europe to South America, we have an exciting mix of style and prestige that keeps us all on our toes."

In an age when heavy metal has been nearly subgenred to death, it’s refreshing as hell to hear a young band playing straight-up metal with no narrow- minded qualifiers or categories in earshot. On their full-length debut, Salt Lake City’s Visigoth deliver the real-deal old-school goods with power and swagger to spare, invoking the likes of early Dio (“Dungeon Master”), Di’ Anno-era Iron Maiden (“Blood Sacrifice”), and maybe even a touch of Riot (“Creature of Desire”). The nearly 10-minute closer “From the Arcane Mists of Prophecy” should make even the most jaded of headbangers raise their fists and yell.

Orden Ogan are the most promising band of the new power metal generation. After achieving international breakthrough with ‘To The End’ (2012), the German band now delivers their most impressive piece of work, an album that was in the making for more than a full year: ‘Ravenhead’. The result is more than impressive, as Orden Ogan continue to refine their formula of combining traditional power metal with a meaty up-to-date sound. ‘Ravenhead’ is the band’s most accessible and powerful record to date, displaying maturity, effective and rich songwriting, a huge production and the special something that only few bands possess. All eleven tracks on this exceptional album will convince traditional metal worshippers and fans of newer sounds alike.

"Edge Of The Earth" второй полноформатный студийный альбом британской метал-группы из Рединга SYLOSIS, выпущенный в 2011 году на лейбле Nuclear Blast.

SYLOSIS are a forward thinking UK thrash metal band. Hailing from Reading, SYLOSIS set out to create a modern, epic new take on the old school thrash metal blueprint. The bands sound is comprised of fast, aggressive riffing, thunderous drumming, intricate guitar lines, shredding solos, fierce vocals and haunting ambience.
SYLOSIS’ debut album “Conclusion Of An Age” - set for release October 24th via Nuclear Blast - is a mammoth display of how modern metal should be done. The album twists and turns in every direction, one moment brutally aggressive, then blissfully epic the next. Lyrically, the album deals with many subjects but although this is by no means a concept album, the most prevalent theme is the idea of a struggle between mankind and the planet and how inevitably, nature will reclaim the earth. With climate change being a growing concern for all, the album really strikes a nerve.

A mere four years have passed since Sylosis' inception and they’re already on the cusp of releasing their third record – Monolith; an ambitious concept album from the young English quartet.
The almost 20 minute epic closer may very well be the jewel in the crown of Monolith; imagine the sound of the four horsemen of the apocalypse meets the undead spirit of 80’s thrash. Here’s a composition that weaves energetic and progressive technical chapters with delicate and emotive melodic tangents; complete with a two and a half minute interval, naturally. Beautifully innovative and covertly stylish, this truly is balls-to-the-wall metal in 2012. If you’ve never heard of Sylosis, you’re very, very late to the party; this is one of the greatest British metal bands of our time. For Christ’s sake.

Hailing from the UK, SYLOSIS is back with their fourth Nuclear Blast album “Dormant Heart”. It comes in with 12 tracks and is just under an hour of brutal and aggressive listening time.
“Dormant Heart” is not dormant by any stretch of the imagination. It is hard, it is aggressive, and it is a truth. The melody, the harmony, the impressiveness SYLOSIS has as a band; it is all here in “Dormant Heart”. This is without a doubt one of the best of the year.
