Metal horror band From Hell returns in 2020 with a new album called “Rats & Ravens”. Staying true to the vision that each release is a concept album, Aleister Sinn (the live persona of George Anderson, creator / writer of From Hell), releases an album both dark and sinister.

Mid 13th Century… somewhere in Eastern Europe:

Acid Reign have announced a load of dates throughout 2020 under the Tour Of Entitlement banner.
 
Frontman H speaks:
“At last we are bringing the new album to more of you live. We still have a couple of gaps left so tell your local promoters! We cannot wait to get out there and see you all again it has taken a little while but the boys at FATangel have done us proud. Make sure you bring your hand sanitiser!”...

The band also stated:

Veteran heavy metal band Venom Inc has entered the studio to record their new album. The follow up to their 2017 debut release “Avé” will once more be released on Nuclear Blast Records. The recording is being done between, England, Portugal and America and it will have Jeff “Mantas” Dunn at the helm as producer once again.

Metal Blade Records is proud to welcome Vio-Lence to its worldwide roster!

Vio-Lence was born in 1985 in the womb of thrash metal’s inception: San Francisco’s East Bay Area. With a ferocious blend of blazing guitar riffs, relentless rhythm, and an ultra-aggressive vocal style, they have an intensity unmatched in metal.

After disbanding in late 1993, their music and legacy still drew metal-heads from around the world. Their return to live performances began in mid-April 2019 and they haven’t looked back.
