Threshold live in Athens 2017
Threshold was the only “big” progressive metal band I never had the chance to see live… until now! Both expectations and wondering were embedded in my head for two main reasons. First, they have just released one of the best records in their career – the magnificent “Legends of the Shires”. Second, they got back in the band vocalist Glynn Morgan, who has associated his name with the legendary “Psychedelicatesen” album – but was absent from music stage since then.

The Stone to release new studio album “Teatar apsurda” on December 9th 2017
In the godless of universe, among the unfaithful ghouls, there's no pulse of existence, no men's flesh. Winds of the preposterous set the stage of doom, where no motion acts, where no voice speaks, only the profound power of surd breathes, encompassed by the perpetual silence in bleak cacophony.
Here, we present you “Teatar apsurda”, the 8th studio album of one of the most distinctive and authentic creations within the spectrum of Black Metal, The Stone.

W.E.B. signs with Alpha Omega Management
Alpha Omega Management is thrilled to announce the signing of the Greek Symphonic Dark Metallers W.E.B.!
W.E.B. is a Dark / Black / Death / Goth Metal band based in the ashes of Athens, Greece. The Fall of 2002AD was the time that the idea of W.E.B. was born and started to take a lifeform shape from an embryonic state to a music challenge expressing darkness and death through adrenaline and poetry. An expression both straight but at the same time theatrical.
