Hate Gallery’s debut album ‘Compassion Fatigue’ has fire in its eyes, puke on its shoes and a point to make. It has the ear for an argument as well as the ear for a tune. At a blush over 30 minutes, ‘Compassion Fatigue’ carries no fat. It gets in, says its piece and gets out. Just how it should be. ‘Compassion Fatigue’ will be released on November 3rd on The Unit Music Label, distributed by Sony/BMG in Scandinavia and Cargo in the U.K.

The Soulless is a UK extreme metal band, formerly known as Ignominious Incarceration... The band explains: "The band started in the pits of hell that was Sam's basement. We were just playing heavy music and having fun. When we decided on the name Ignominious Incarceration, we never anticipated the level we would get to.

1. A New Jersey hardcore band with a demo out in 2010.
2. A technical death metal band from Venezuela. 1. Where do you see yourself in the discernible future? When opportunity arises you merely coincide and be concurrent with what is handed to you.

Fusionmetal - A relatively new and unexplored genre in the world of metal. Exivious isn't an over the top math metal band and certainly isn't a loungy jazz combo either. But expect everything in between! With a jazzfusion backbone Exivious uses freaky metal riffs to decorate their organic eruption of free improvisations and complex rhythms. Guitarist Tymon comments: "We finally managed to transform a vision I had a long time ago into 9 intense and fiery songs. There's an immense amount of information in there that will definitely take more than one spin in your CD player to comprehend!"
