symphonic power metal

Unstoppable Austrian symphonic power metal heroes Dragony have signed a worldwide record deal with Napalm Records. Eight years have passed since they debuted with their first album “Legends”, and despite their humble beginnings back in 2007, the band is now a well-known representative of the genre. Owing to their outstanding live performance skills, Dragony quickly arose to share the stage with Blind Guardian, Sonata Arctica, Powerwolf, Van Canto and many others.
 

Presented by Rockshots Records and Overdrive Touring, Melbourne’s rising stars of Gothic/Symphonic Metal Victoria K bring their live set directly to your home Saturday 27th June, for FREE!

This show will be recorded live in the studio for top quality audio and video, ensuring you receive the full Victoria K experience.

This is the only way to see new songs from Victoria K’s debut album “Essentia” live for the foreseeable future, so don’t miss out!

While the lockdown is not over yet in many countries, the representatives of the metal scene continue their online meetings, greetings and chats.

It is always a blast when two gorgeous metal girls come together to discuss not only their female things but also their music careers, tour experiences, plans for future releases, etc.

 
Topics include but are not limited to:
• Music & the music industry

In almost every negative situation there are always seeds of something positive. The covid-19 lockdown is not an exception, and right now we are witnessing a new type of music-related events: artists from all around the globe become so much closer to each other and to their fans through live online chats. These chats are becoming increasingly popular and are viewed by thousands of people worldwide. Chances are, they are here to stay after the lockdown abates.

Finnish power metal band Sonata Arctica will be performing an acoustic concert, titled “Acoustic Adventures 2020”, set to take place via live stream. This will be the only chance to experience the band’s acoustic show in 2020.

They will be playing two shows; the first one aimed for the fans in the Americas, the second one for audiences in Europe and the UK. Access to video will be possible for up to 48 hours after live stream, with a purchased ticket.

On Sunday the 17th of May, 2020, Mark Jansen (leader and composer of Epica, MaYaN, United Metal Minds) and Alexander “Aor” Osipov (leader and composer of Imperial Age) will meet online in a live chat on YouTube to discuss many interesting topics and answer questions of symphonic metal fans from around the world.

Last year, Swedish symphonic power metallers Majestica, formerly known as Reinxeed, unleashed their debut album “Above the Sky”, via Nuclear Blast.

Now, since their spring tour has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the band have decided to do a live stream on Saturday May 16th, streamed via their Facebook page.

You can find the stream here.
