The band’s fans were overjoyed when in summer 2020 Rage frontman Peavy Wagner presented the group’s new line-up featuring two guitarists, announcing a return to the constellation that had recorded classics such as “Black in Mind and “End of All Days”. After last year’s departure of Marcos Rodriguez, Stefan Weber (ex-Axxis) was enlisted, followed just a few weeks later by Jean Bormann (Angel Inc, Rage & Ruins).

After releasing their sophomore album, “Etemen Ænka”, earlier this year - and landing on the worldwide charts for their efforts (#43 in Germany, #65 on the UK Indie Charts!) - Dvne has now announced a European co-headlining tour with labelmates Déluge.

Kicking off in September, this will be the first run of shows in support of “Etemen Ænka”, before the band heads to the UK for an appearance at Damnation Fest, followed by a trek with Bossk in the winter.

UK rockers Wayward Sons are preparing to unleash their third album, “Even Up The Score” on October 8th, 2021. Fronted by vocalist/guitarist Toby Jepson, who is joined by Nic Wastell (bass), Phil Martini (drums), and Sam Wood (guitar), plus Dave Kemp (keyboards) for the recording of the album, Wayward Sons continue to deal in energetic rock ‘n roll coupled with thoughtful, insightful lyrics.

Robert Jon & The Wreck are back and ready to tear up the UK and Europe all over again with their new record, “Shine A Light On Me Brother”. The impressive new album, written and recorded during the COVID pandemic, and self-produced by Robert Jon & The Wreck, will be released on Friday September 3rd, 2021.
