Original founders and brothers, Dreugh and Beist, conceived Kråke as an idea already in 2007. From the brothers hailing from Kopervik on the west coast of Norway the idea was to create the best possible symphonic & atmospheric black metal they could possibly achieve. It took 5 years in the making, but the result is nothing short of impressing.

Russian Melodic Death/Doom Metal band Adfail released their debut album "Unkindness" on 5th of June via Darknagar Records.
A debut album by Adfail titled “Unkindness” combines the best traditions of Death Doom Metal of 1990s and 2000s and contains varied stuff, ranging from rather fast parts to slow doomy passages.
Among the highlights of this release there’re melodic guitar riffs, acoustic interludes and an excellent keyboard work which has a special role in combination with vocal variety.
Hi Flavio… Great job dude… Your debut album is one of the best extreme, heavy melodic metal debuts I’ve heard in a while…
FL: Thank you so much Thanos!

This is the case where an underground band that has caused fuzz around its name… not only manages to make the next step but also succeeds. Lahmia are coming from Italy and they managed to release their first demo, “An Eternal Memory”, back in 2007. A year later they released their EP “Forget Every Sunrise”, which got several great reviews from the press and helped the band gain more reputation. After almost two years, in 2010, they entered the Outer Sound studios in Rome, Italy and started working on their debut’s pre-production.
