69 CHAMBERS like to call their music a minefield of contradictions, combining brutality with pop sensibility in an array of in-your-face rock and metal songs.
With their upcoming yet untitled masterpiece, 69 CHAMBERS are more than ready to take over the world's rock and metal audiences. In the bands own words, the new songs are more mature, sometimes harder, and playfully incorporate different stylistic influences.

EPICA come forward with the following hot news:
“Here we are with the first official teaser of the upcoming album “Requiem for the Indifferent”, which will be released by Nuclear Blast on March 9th (March 13th in the US). This time however we're doing it like no one has done before, by weekly releasing an extra layer of music, giving our fans a little more insight in the complexity and the different aspects of EPICA's music.
After so much buzz, advertising and various teasers on youtube… the time to listen to the album has come. I can see much excitement and I read big words all over the web. Undoubtedly, the band has strong P.R. and the label that’s behind them has also got a big promoting mechanism. But is that what makes an album good? Absolutely not… you may need more than that. Then again, that’s what makes an album commercially successful. Undeniably… you may not have a great album but… public relations, promotion, advertising will do the work for you. That’s the case here…
