Hi Amos… Second release for the band and you really took it one step further… Way to go dude!
A: Thanks man. Although not in any way difficult, quite the opposite in fact, it certainly was one of the most stressful records we’ve ever made. Simply because we felt like we had to live up to the expectations we created with our first record. And well both in public and behind the scenes it’s been a tough couple of years, so we’re really happy to have this bad boy out there working for us now!

Roadrunner Records has announced the eagerly anticipated new album from the legendary Dream Theater. “DREAM THEATER” – the first self-titled collection in the GRAMMY®-nominated band’s nearly three decade career – arrives at last on September 24th.
London progressive metallers The Safety Fire are excited to announce the release of their forthcoming second album, entitled “Mouth of Swords”, on the 2nd September 2013. The band has been hard at work on the album for the past few months, and vocalist Sean McWeeney had this to say about the completion of the record: "Since our first album we've all concentrated more on having awesome haircuts and facial hair. Does that go some way to explaining why “Mouth of Swords” is shit hot? Some may suggest so. But all I know is I'm on it and that's enough for most people. This album is pure gold, and will be priced accordingly".
NILE are back at their best with a new album and a special Australian tour comprising one huge set spanning NILE’s entire career!
Using a symphonic approach to song writing and arrangement, for 20 years now NILE have unleashed an uncompromising attack that fuses technical death metal with organic Middle Eastern tones.
"At The Gate Of Sethu" is no different and guides you down into the depths of their ominous catacombs to torture your souls with the darkest tunes in a long time.
Being part of a contemporary music groovy prog metal path and having offered the fundamentals on its origin, TesseracT didn’t back out for a sec even if they had to change the voice of the group. Introducing us to their new vocalist Ashe O’Hara, the band avoided making a very common mistake that most of the bands do when they lose a member and especially the singer. They try to fill the gap with a similar singer, thing that isn’t wise. Alternatively, TesseracT decided to move on and they chose to do it their way with their own terms… and they’ve done right.
Morganha’s brand new album, “Rebellion”, will be released in June 2013.
Authors of a Technical Groove Thrash Metal, the album promises to be the heaviest of their history, the strength of a powerful and devastating production by Francesco Riganelli to BPA studio and mixed and mastered at Studio Domination by Simone Mularoni.
"Desecrated" is the first single from the album. You can listen to it below.
Bursting onto the UK metal/prog-metal scene all guns blazing, energetic new Reading-based six-piece Schemata Theory prepare to unleash their explosive debut album “Dry Lung Rhetoric” on June 3.
The album, which was recorded at the renowned Stakeout Studios and produced by Jason Wilcock (Fightstar, We Are The Ocean, The Ghost of A Thousand), features 11 tracks and includes a guest appearance from Mutiny Within’s Chris Clancy on concluding final track, “The Final Breath”.
InsideOut Music is immensely pleased to announce the signing of progressive-rock powerhouse Bigelf for the release of their forthcoming new album later this year. Label-head Thomas Waber says about the signing: "We have been talking to Bigelf for quite some time now and I am really pleased that we finally managed to make this happen! Bigelf are an excellent addition to the InsideOutMusic roster"!
It's been a few years since we've heard of any activity from the Bigelf camp, so who better to explain to us what's been going on in the meantime than Damon Fox himself:
Finland's ODDLAND has just launched a guitar play-through for the track "Lines Of Silver Blood".
The band comments: "We decided to do the guitar play-through on this song because it probably has some of the most technical guitar parts of the album. We figured people might be interested to see how they´re played. The live guitar tracks were recorded on top of the album version, and Ville (our drummer) was in charge of shooting and editing the whole thing. Have a look, won't you"!
