A new video for ‘Invincible’ has been released out of the 2nd album of Amaranthe, ‘The Nexus’.

Comments guitarist Olof Mörck:
“INVINCIBLE’ is probably my favourite AMARANTHE song so far, and it’s very exciting to see it finally becoming a single and a video! We had an absolute blast shooting it, and this time we flew in Patric Ullaeus and his crew to some kick-ass locations around the USA. People have come to expect elaborate videos from AMARANTHE, but this one certainly takes the cake!”

For those who have not had the chance to buy a ticket for W:O:A now you have it! People who can not make it to the festival are selling their tickets and you can buy them. Original article here:

Dear Metalheads,

the time has come – the W:O:A ticket exchange is now online at Metaltix !

The ticket exchange gives metalheads the possibility to sell their tickets anonymously to other metalheads(only for the original price!) if they are not able to visit the festival anymore. Reversed this also means that people who had no luck in getting a ticket for W:O:A 2014, now have a new chance to get one through the ticket exchange.

Important! In the near future we will also launch a second platform which will handle the general re-personalization / name change of W:O:A tickets.
This platform will ...

P.S...

In Process is a groove metal band founded in 2006 in Helsinki, Finland. Personally I had no idea what groove metal sounds like but, if you have no idea either, to me its sound can be described as melodic death metal with tribal influences. A bit later I’ll take you through what other bands this sound reminded me of. Anyway, the band kept a low profile until 2012. In late 2012 they started working on this 5-track EP called ‘Surgery’ that will be released at the end of November (29 to be more exact). It seems that right now the guys are preparing for a full-length debut release.

I have to tell you, for a first EP these guys seem to already know what they are doing pretty fuckin’ well! I mentioned before that the sound they adopted reminds me of certain bands, so let’s see what I found...

The Symphonic metal band Leaves’ Eyes have released a video for the song ‘Hell to the Heaven’ taken out of its upcoming album ‘Symphonies of the Night’ out on friday for people from Europe. Enjoy!

Robert Dahlqvist has been in the rock scene for some time now, performing in a band called The Hellacopters. However, a few years ago he decided that he wants to release something that sounds purely like him. So he created ‘Solo’, his first solo album. I loved this record from the first moment. Although it is sung in Swedish and I do not understand a word, the melodies are so soft and relaxing that I am taken into another world from minute 1. Mostly acoustic or rock’n’roll, the songs carry old school influences and melancholy. This album has quickly become a favourite of mine when I need to unwind. Therefore I thought it would be lovely if I could take a brief interview of Robert, nothing too fancy, but just something for you guys to get to know him...
