Bands
Raining Nails

Raining Nails is a “Classic Heavy Metal” band based in Italy. The band was formed in 2016 by the bassist, mastermind, and composer, Massimiliano Flak, who is well-known in the metal scene for his work with bands Sound Storm and Highlord. The writing process for the album began and by the end of 2017, it was completely written and ready to be recorded. However, some problems started to arise, particularly in finding a powerful and aggressive female vocalist who could also deliver emotional performances in the softer parts of the songs. It took more than two years to find the right person. The current lineup of the band consists of Marika Vanni (Eternal Silence) on vocals, Giacomo Paradiso (Ex-Fallen Arise and Oracle Sun) on guitar, Mattia Rubino (Sound Storm) on drums, and Massimiliano Flak (Sound Storm, Highlord) on bass. The new album has now been recorded, mixed, mastered, and entirely produced by Massimiliano Flak at Evolution Studio in Turin (Italy). Raining Nails’ debut album is scheduled to be released on October 27th.

Warfield

The Thrash-Metal-Trio Warfield from Germany contains exactly what the name does promise. Tight, unmistakable riffs and tons of shredding are unleashed upon the crowd at rapid speed! This furious attack is accompanied by energetic and fast drums. With hailing bassdrum-thunder, each stage is demolished within a short time, no matter if big or small! The lyrical content is based on political and social injustices and the wars of our "society" and is expressed in the most brutal way. There’s no time for experiments - aggression and rage are the highest precept.

This musical battlefield that is Johannes Clemens (Vocals & Bass), Matthias Clemens (Guitar) and Dominik Marx (Drums) is inspired by bands like Slayer, Sodom or Kreator, mixed with the irresistible idols of the Bay Area. After the EP 'Call To War' was released in 2014, the debut album 'Wrecking Command' was published via Metal On Metal Records on 27th of April 2018!

Crazy Lixx

Swedish Hard Rock / Hair Metal band Crazy Lixx carries the torch of Rock ‘n’ Roll with pride. Since their album debut in 2007, the band has been enthralling crowds with their unique brand of 80’s Hard Rock. Noted as one of the last standing bands of ‘The New Wave of Swedish Sleaze’, Crazy Lixx are pioneers of Sweden’s rock music scene in their own right. With over a decade of experience and now finally with a stable line-up, the band has under their belt six full-length studio albums and one live album including “New Religion” (2010), “Ruff Justice” (2017) and “Sound Of The LIVE Minority”(2016).

Crazy Lixx’s most recent and sixth studio album “Forever Wild” (2019) comprises of 10-tracks of instant hair metal awesomeness. Rendering the pure nostalgia of 80’s arena hard rock, mixed wit a bit of action movie themes, “Forever Wild” packed with impressive guitar solos, memorable hooks and catchy choruses, big drums and defining riffs became an instant Hair Metal masterpiece.

Influenced by Rock giants such as KISS, Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, RATT, Alice Cooper and Bon Jovi, the band etched their signature style. Bridging a lasting connection with old and new audiences alike, the band continues to produce energetic live performances across Europe. Hungry and ready to unleash, Crazy Lixx pushes onward with the line-up of: Danny Rexon (Vocals), Joél Cirera (Drums), Jens Anderson (Bass), Chrisse Olsson (Guitar) and Jens Lundgren (Guitar).

Bands
Soulskinner

Soulskinner was first formed under the name of Terra Tenebrae in 1997. The first Line-up included Bill (ex: Vanity, Rotting Christ) on the guitars, Makis (Necromantia) on the bass and Costas "Dead" (Obsecration) on the vocals. With this line-up the band recorded the very first demo 'Masks Of Deathly Joy', which included 3 tracks.

After this recording, Gothmog (ex Thou Art Lord) replaced Costas and in 1999 the band released the album 'Subconscious' through the Greek label Black Lotus Records. One year later the band changed its name to Soulskinner, taking into consideration that the new name would better fit their lyrical and musical direction and in 2003 signed a deal with Sleaszy Rider Records and released 'Breeding The Grotesque'. In urgent need of new members, especially a drummer, the band was delayed in releasing their third album as the right guy did not show up really early. The third album called 'Non Stop Killing' and released on 2007. Brutal, old-school and sick are the words to describe it.

After a period of rest, experimentation in various tones, and walking on the line between past and future, Soulskinner decided to follow their own path through the underground. In 2010 they released the 7'' split Ep with Vorkreist 'In Attrition Of A World Collapse' and in 2012 the 4-way split Ep 'Emissaries Of A Profane Advent' with Kawir, Nergal and Embrace Of Thorns.

After a seven years hiatus concerning a full-length, they have returned and signed a deal with Xtreem Music for the release of their 3rd album (as Soulskinner) which is entitled 'Crypts Of Ancient Wisdom'. Cover artwork for 'Crypts Of Ancient Wisdom' is being painted by the famous artist Mark Riddick and will for sure capture the true essence of the new Soulskinner material.

From the album release, and then, the band has appeared at festivals and gave many live shows promoting the album. Soulskinner shared the stage with bands like Entombed A.D., Malevolent Creation, Grave, Avulsed etc and proved that they are a grandiose band on stage. In 2015 they released one more split 7'' Ep with their bloodbrothers Greeks veterans Obsecration under the title 'Dominium Regis Funeris'.

Bands
Pridian

Pridian is a modern metal band from Estonia, formed in 2018, previously known under the moniker Æøns. Pridian strives to explore industrial soundscapes and low-tuned riffs with a strong backbeat that can move the crowd and shake stages. While infusing cinematic and electronic instrumentation into their sound is a big part, the main theme and inspiration for the band comes from imbuing everything they experience around them. Pridian draws their sound and message from other creative works, a world in turmoil, and the need for constant self-growth.

Pridian has performed at Estonia's biggest metal festivals: Hard Rock Laager, Barbar Feast and Tallinn Music Week. The band has also shared the stage with bigger foreign artists such as Humanity's Last Breath and Atlas. In the fall of 2023, the band released their debut EP 'Cybergnosis' alongside five music videos.

Pridian is currently working on their debut full-length album, set to release on 2025.
