There’s something happening in Australia. In the past 12 months there has been an insurgence of metal acts that adhere to a standard far beyond that of your typical unsigned Australian band. Bands like Dred (now Oroborus), Templestowe and Aeon of Horus place great value on high quality production, recordings and exceptional artwork. Anno Domini are the next band to join the ranks of those striving for metal perfection.
God Forbid is a metalcore band from New Brunswick, New Jersey that was formed in 1998. Their style is different than the styles presented by other, popular metalcore bands: God Forbid's influences are deep-rooted in thrash metal. Building up a following in the late 1990s by touring with bands such as Cradle of Filth, Nile, and Candiria, their first full album Reject the Sickness was released by 9 Volt Records in 1999.

The rest of the band members met each other for first time in 1996 in Stockholm, where they had gone to see KISS perform.

Breed of burden started on in 2010 as a solo metal project by Aladdin Benmira who wanted to bring his ideas to life and experiment his own metal genre.
“Tantrum” is the first demo realized by Aladdin in 2007, when he was living in France. Back then, his IT job forced him to slow down his music ambitions for a while and Tantrum had to wait till 2010, when Aladdin moved to London hoping to start playing again. Some melodic metal riffs from the demo were given life again to create his first album “The World is Sick”.
Formed in late 2008, Deadend in Venice tried right from the beginning to combine the power of true Melodic Death Metal with the beauty of a clear female voice. A short three song demo was recorded at the end of the same year and first local club-gigs followed. In 2009 the band shared the stage with names like Tristania, Finntroll and Tanzwut on some bigger shows and played great concerts for both, crowd and band.
