Video premiere: Angel Vengeance revive the time of great metal hymms

Do you remember the days of singing along to songs of great melody? Those tunes that constantly kept ringing in your head again and again?

Angel Vengeance who greet from Thailand have released a brand new lyric video that holds such a magic when it comes to finding these words and notes.

It's fast but silk at the same time. The vocals and song structures remind of Helloween and Stratovarius classic but with the vocals being less high they are more enjoyable. The solo section features extended guitar solos. Even the bass guitar player shows some finger picking techniques so make sure to tune in.

A great side note is that Piet Silck, who is well known for his band Iron Saviour mixed and mastered this great piece of music. The digital single will be released on 31.01.2020 on Downfall Records.

Corners of Sanctuary shares an all new, original and free Holiday single

So it's this time of the year again when the daylight fades away so soon that the days seem to be so short as never before. But it's also the period of the year when the light of candles shines brighter than ever.

Corners of Sanctuary keep up their fine tradition of handing a free gift out to metal fans worldwide in this special time. This year we are gifted with a all new, original Holiday single entitled “That Feeling We Know". The track is being made available as a FREE download exclusively on the band’s website.

Mick Michaels has checked in with the following comment about the single release:

“We love this time of year… and what better way to express that sentiment than through music,” said Mick Michaels, COS founder and guitarist.

Over the past several years, the band has released a number of Holiday tracks to celebrate the season.
“I don’t know if we will do it every year, but it felt like the thing to do this year. Besides, we always have a great time doing it… so that counts for something,” added Michaels.

Senate Of Prevail explore the Hollow Ground

Sometimes it's cool to see how the songwriting in metal bands has evolved over the years.

Looking back to the classic days you could nearly always be sure that there was this verse - refrain way the lyrics were build upon. After that there was another verse and refrain followed by the guitar solo just to lead into the final repeat of the refrain again. The song finished some or other way and that was the way we knew and it and I think most of us loved it.

These days bands attempt it differently. Some tracks start for example straight away with the vocals coming straight in directly at the beginning. Sometimes the vocals are present all the time never giving a break for the solo that is missed out completly.

But most of all the refrains cannot be spotted immediately as such. In the old days it was always the peak of the music. These times the refrains are often build inside not leaving the overall song structure but keeping the structure intact. Nevertheless they can be something that burns down deep in your mind. Try this song below to hear what I'm talking about.


These were my thoughts when Sweden's Senate Of Prevail came around with a brandnew track called "Hollow Ground". Not only that the song kicks from start to finish but most of all it has this dominate vocals with it that rush through the full track duration making it a hell of a ride but with this refrain worked in that won't leave my mind now anymore. 

Check it out for yourselves and pick up the track as free download while it's still up. While you're waiting for the data transmission to finish see the band's social site on Facebook, Instagram and on Soundcloud. Be sure to mark those with a like or follow. We need to make this band coming back in my eyes. Maybe if we call loud enough for them they will come back? I hope for that and would like to ask you kindly to support me in this mission.

Voyager release surprisingly different styled new video single

It's great to see bands evolve. As we all grow older and our lives and views change so does music. I can remember a time when I thought that this is boring but these days I think it's far more the normal way. Just look around you - everything changes. It's seems to be the only constanty in life.

The Prog metal band Voyager have taken the opportunity to record a brand new track for the fans ahead of the upcoming tourdates in Australia and Europe. The cool thing is that the track surprised me when I heard it. It's going on the first listen on a bit different style and tonality then their previous material on the "V" album. That's cool because I expected something much different when I got the info. Let's see what you think about it.

Scott Kay-Guitarist, says
"We're opening 2016 with a bang! We're stoked to be releasing a new song, Misery is Only Company, with a video showcasing the writing process of the song! You'll be able to catch us playing the new tune on our forthcoming European run in April with Leprous and Earthside! We're loving the new track; it's a little different, but still has that distinct Voyager sound. We hope you enjoy it!"
