Swedish Rockaway Festival 2014 to present local scene round-up

The swedish metal scene features a lot of great bands. One town seems to have a lot of those bands: Bollnäs. It's this place where such great bands as Morgana Lefay or Tad Morose have their origins.

Happily the scene is still alive and active today. Some people grabbed a heart and have now set up a proper two days event to help promote these bands directly in the town of Bollnäs, Sweden: the Rockaway 2014 festival is born.

The shows will take place at different locations along with some additional stuff going on while the festival, e.g. BBQ, Merch stand or Vinyl wall. On day one the focus is set more on Metal, while the second day is dedicated to punk music. Here's some info about the event and links to the bands:

Trail of Murder - Swedish power metal band first trailer is up!

So nowadays it's hard for bands to grab the attention of the record company's to make them aware of their projects and get them to release the music they do. One of those bands, that still isn't signed is Trail of Murder.

Trail of Murder are:
Urban breed: Vocals (Pyramaze, ex-bloodbound, ex-Tad Morose)
Daniel Olsson: Guitars, backing vocals (Ex-Tad Morose)
Pelle Åkerlind: Drums, backing vocals (Morgana Lefay, bloodbound, LadyDie)
Hasse Eismar: Guitars, backing vocals Johan Bergquist: Bass, backing vocals
Johan Bergquist: Bass, backing vocals
 
The first trailer they did release sound great, so here's my attempt to help and spread the word a bit. Enjoy the fine music and tell others about it.


Update 2012/11/05: Having taken a look around I found out that the band has set up a little website with some info about the coming together of the band. At the end of the page there's also a link to their webshop where the album can be bought. There you can also check out the artwork of the CD.

The website of  the band's record company Metal Heaven has some short snippets for listening in their soundbytes section. Thought you guys out there wanna to know since I witnessed in my statistics that some of you had looked for info upon the band here on my blog. Amazon also lists the CD already! Great news all around! :-)
