Kryptos proudly announces the signing of a new publishing deal with ENORM MUSIC, the publishing arm of ICS/Wacken

Kryptos vocalist/guitarist Nolan Lewis commented: 'We are extremely excited and proud to sign a publishing deal with such a fantastic group who really know what metal is all about. This is definitely a great milestone for us and we are looking forward to working with all the awesome people in Enorm Music and ICS/Wacken. Cheers to everyone who supported us over the years and to everyone who worked hard to push this deal through. Watch out for our brand new album scheduled for release early next year. If it doesn?t make you throw on your denim jacket and pound your fist then nothing will.
Old school forever!'

Onslaught are extremely proud to announce the signing of a new publishing contract with ENORM MUSIC the publishing arm of ICS / WACKEN....

Onslaught guitarist / songwriter Nige Rockett comments: This is a huge day for the future of Onslaught and we're so stoked to have landed a publishing deal with such a prestigious and important company in the world of metal music.. These guys have a knowledge and vision that is second to none,to be part of the ICS/WACKEN family is a massive boost for the band on the verge of releasing our new album "SOUNDS OF VIOLENCE"...

Die harte Arbeit der Band 9mm Assi Rock `n`Roll hat sich gelohnt, heute ist das aktuelle Album auf Platz 62 in die Deutschen Mediacontrol Album-Charts einsteigen. Die Band um Frontmann Rock Rotten hat dieses Jahr keinen Aufwand gescheut, so wurden nicht nur zahllose Konzerte (darunter alle großen Open Air wie Wacken, Rock am Ring, Rock im Park, Geiselwind, u.v.m.) gespielt, es wurden sage und schreibe 3 Videos zum aktuellem Album abgedreht und als Bonbon für alle Fans wurde in der VÖ-Woche eine Unplugged-Tour durch diverse deutsche Städte unternommen. Der Preis für alle diese Mühen ist der heutige Einstieg in die Charts auf #62! Wir gratulieren ganz herzlich.

Secret Sphere, one of the best known European symphonic/power metal bands, have signed a deal with Scarlet Records for the release of their new album 'Archetype', the sixth in their career. The band's first release, 'Mistress Of The Shadowlight', came out in 1999 and since then Secret Sphere have accomplished many important goals, including two albums released on powerful German label Nuclear Blast and countless tours and festivals around the world, sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in metal such as Megadeth, Judas Priest, King Diamond and many others. Last but not least, in early 2010 they were chosen to open the European tour of German heavy metal veterans Gamma Ray. But the best has yet to come: 'Archetype', due to be released in September 2010, has already been described as the band's most instinctive, mature and energetic album, an overwhelming mixture of classy arrangements, beautiful melodies and powerful rhythms. Be ready for one of the heavy metal highlits of 2010.

MANTICORA has released 6 albums since 1999 and their new and 7th opus, entitled "SAFE", is released on September 20th 2010.

The band delivers dark, thrashy power metal in the Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Nevermore and Metallica style.
For the new album, Manticora has shot their first official video for the song "From The Pain Of Loss (I learned about the truth)". A song that shows a darker and thrashier path, than the band has normally taken, but still energetic as Hell!

The video will be World premiered on www.wackentube.com on September 22nd, 2010!!!

Manticora is headed out on their first European headliner tour in September/October 2010

Das Video wurde vor etwa einem Monat, an einem geheimen Ort in Göteborg aufgenommen. Regie führte René U. Valdes für Greenworks
www.greenworks.se
Neben Mastermind Johnny Johansson (DISDAIN) wurden Ruined Souls im Video von diesen Herren komplettiert: Patrik Johansson (ARISE), Eric Rauti (DREAMLAND), Anders Hammer (NIGHTRAGE) und Janne Jaloma (DEALS DEATH). "My Dying Day" ist im übrigen der Titeltrack des gleichnamigen Albums.

Was lange währt... 13(!) Jahre nach ihrem letzten Demo-Lebenszeichen sind die Nordlichter von TAUTHR um Lars Wachtfels (Endstille) mit ihrem Debütalbum am Start. Und die gute Nachricht gleich vorweg: Sind zurück, aber glücklicherweise nicht in der Welt des Black Metals des 21. Jahrhunderts angekommen. Rau und eisig wie die See im Winter prägen kalte Riffs das Klangbild. Es erdrücken Dich schleppende Drums wie die Wassermassen des großen Meeres und es peitscht Dir fieser Gesang wie ein Sturm ins Gesicht. Gespickt mit Death-Metal-Regenschauern präsentiert sich der Fünfer auf "Life Losing" in bestechender Form. Und so wird über neun Songs jeder, der auf fiesen und rauen Black Metal nordischer Prägung steht, seine helle Freude haben, ganz egal ob Vinyl-Freak oder Liebhaber digitaler Klänge.

Sator: Vocals
L. Wachtfeld: Guitar
Herr Krøger: Guitar
Cruor: Bass
MD: Drums

Longstanding Danish metal band MANTICORA have completed the recordings of their 7th full length album, "Safe", at Jailhouse Studios, once again produced and mixed under the guiding hands of Tommy Hansen (known for Jorn Lande, Helloween, Pretty Maids a.o.).
