Vision Divine

VISION DIVINE was born in 1998, originally intended as Olaf Thorsen's solo project (Labyrinth's guitarist at the time). Very soon he starts collaborating again with Fabio Lione (lead singer of Labyrinth on their first album "No Limits" and current frontman of Rhapsody of Fire) and the solo project rapidly turns into a real band, its name being a combination of "Vision" -old Labyrinth's monicker when Olaf created the band- and "Divine" -the title intended for Olaf's solo album. The line-up got completed with Mat Stancioiu (drums), Andrew Mc Pauls (keyboards) and Andrea Tower Torricini (bass).

Broken Melody

Broken Melody was formed in April 2006 from the dissolution of a former band. With the arrival of the new guitarist and consequently with a new line-up and a well-defined musical direction, in the first few weeks of existence the group set out on a series of concerts and acoustic events to promote their new sound and propose something new to the general public. The group�s real baptism of fire was on Arts Day in Piazza Itala (Sassari). Today, Broken Melody is concentrating on the recording of their debut album, preceeded by an EP which will serve as a forerunner to the album itself.

Mystic Prophecy

Mystic Prophecy is a power metal band from Germany, formed in 2000. Rather than sounding like most of the power metal bands coming from Germany, they are more reminiscent of U.S.-style power metal. Still, they are a very melodic band too, with the famous European power metal choruses. A famous guitarist these days, Gus G., played guitars on the three first albums but decided in 2005 to focus on his other bands.

Thy Majestie, formed in Palermo, Sicily, Italy, is a symphonic power metal band based on a project from Giuseppe Bondì and Claudio Diprima from 1998.
