Originally envisioned to be released in 2006, the third part of 8th Sin’s trilogy, “Cosmogenesis” finally saw the light of day six years later, in 2012! The band consists of the frontman IT (Vondur, Ophthalamia, Abruptum, War), Michael Bohlin (Pain) on guitars/programming, Johan Husgafvel (Pain) on bass and Zacharias Ahlvik on drums. There’s quite many guest appearances by known members of the metal scene such as: Joacim Cans, Pontus Norgren, Peter Tagtgren, Joacim Thenander, Magnus Lundkvist, Catherine Forsberg, Eric Rivers, Martin Boman, Anders Olsson, PM Saari, Ira Keelyn, Alexandra Balogh, Kimmy Bohlin & Joacim Lundberg.

Rosa Infra is a Russian band from Moscow which was formed in 2006… and is presenting its debut album entitled “Change of Scenery” now. The band is probably focusing on the Russian rock/metal community as they sing in their native language. It’s true that the Russian rock/metal scene is growing bigger and bigger over the time… and I happen to see lots of bands from Russia lately. Unluckily, all of them are singing in Russian… which I think is not such a good idea if they wanna become more known in Europe or in the US…

 

After almost 5 years of absence, finally the Norwegian industrial-dark-goth-rock band has released its new album. After the last release “ZZYZX” and a big European tour in 2004 they took a long break… while the mastermind and singer of the band, Alex Møklebust, re-united with his former band Seigmen and released a double DVD, a live album and did some live shows in Oslo. I believe that 5 years is a long time period for a band to be inactive but on the other hand, I’m sure that the fans of the band will be more than happy with this release. The band offers nice industrial-dark melodies, melancholic atmospheres and some nice rock rhythms… so they blend all these elements together and the result is… Zeromancer.
