Tralineate is a one man band featuring Chris Sanders, (ex-Doomsaer '93-'96, ex-No Flesh Spared '99-'03, and ex-Heteromorphic '04-'05), and was formed in 2016 in Topeka, Kansas.Chris had been considering this latest endeavor for quite some time, but due to various life events, there just wasn't enough time and with a work schedule that allows for very little social interaction, he knew he would have to go it alone. Finally, in late 2016, Tralineate was born and things started coming together. Starting with five songs from his Heteromorphic project, (of which some needed improvement and some needed finished), the goal was simply to complete a full length album as a possible last hurrah in the music scene.He immersed himself into those old songs to give them the life they deserved and wrote new material along the way. Working on a budget that to some would be laughable, Chris also invested his time into learning the ins and outs of mixing, producing, and the like in order to keep the costs down. After a little less than a year, Tralineate's debut album, Ike Antz Leap, (read as I can't sleep), was independently released on September 29th, 2017.Chris draws influence from the life around him and from artists such as Danzig, Devin Townsend, Disincarnate, Fear Factory, Fleshgod Apocalypse, House of Thumbs and many others. Chris thrives on writing and playing straight forward, unapologetic metal with occasional orchestral accents. He creates from a very personal perspective touching on some common themes but also exploring some subjects that a little more off the beaten path for death metal.Tralineate by definition means ' to deviate', to stray', 'to wander', and Chris hopes to stay true to that mantra by forging ahead and not following any standard procedures when it comes to anything along this road ahead. With the support of his friends and fans over the last year during this journey, his initial goal has been realized and now only a few weeks removed from the album release, his intentions with Tralineate have become more focused. Chris has already begun writing new material for a follow up which is sure to be another all too real glimpse into the erratic mind of a middle aged man that nobody's ever heard of. Tralineate forever.

Band History Noor (guitar/vocals) and Astaroth (guitar) met and began writing music for Sinstorm in the mid-2000’s , around that same time Brett Batdorf (Drums) was still playing for “the Faceless” . Sinstorm went through many line up changes , eventually leading to Bret joining the band in the late 2000’s playing shows together for a few years. Noor and Astaroth began exploring other types Black metal, creating a vile new sound for a vile new project they named NorthWind Wolves. These musical trials manifested in the form of limited early-era Northwind wolves releases and late-era unreleased Sinstorm tracks. The three core members had decided upon a new Vile Melodic black metal sound and have just released their first studio album ” Dark… Cold… Grim…” Explore all media links below.

Niviane (pronounced nih-vy-anne) is an American power metal band hailing from Sacramento California formed in the fall of 2014. Guitarists Mark Miner & Claudeous Creamer along with bassist Rick Stallkamp created the core sound by melding together their collective influences of classic heavy metal along with modern European metal to produce what has been branded “A new breed of American Power Metal”.   
In the following months the band recruited drummer Mark Sprague and began writing many of the songs that would later appear on the debut album. The fledgling act still needed a moniker and the name "Niviane" was suggested by guitarist Claudeous Creamer. The final piece of the puzzle had yet to be found, but as fate would have it in the spring of 2015 vocalist Norman Skinner was preparing to start a new project and was contacted by an associate of the band. Within a week the two camps had demoed 3 songs and the original full Niviane line-up was born. 
Two months later on May 15th, 2015 the band debuted their music live for the first time at The Knitting Factory in Reno, Nevada. Delivering a high-energy performance complete with duel lead guitar attacks and high-soaring vocals, the band began a run of successful show dates. Niviane continued to perform live and write for the debut album through the end of 2015.
 The group in its infancy was gaining much deserved attention but with a new year came a new line-up. 2016 would begin with Claudeous Creamer & Mark Sprague parting ways with the band and being replaced by guitarist Gary Tarplee & drummer Noe Luna. Without missing a step the band continued forward, performing live while completing the writing process and pre-production for their first album. 
In May 2016 the band entered Alien Productions Studios with JK Northrup at the helm to begin recording the debut album “The Druid King”. Upon completing a majority of the tracking the decision was made to recruit the talents of Aaron Robitsch to write and record keyboards for the album. The album was completed in March 2017 and released on November 3rd 2017 through Pitch Black Records. 
Niviane continues to tour in support of "The Druid King" and are finalizing writing for their sophomore effort. The band plans to begin tracking at the beginning of 2018.

http://www.theblackmoriah.com/
The Black Moriah is a horde of highwaymen, hell-bent on Vulture Culture. Influenced by hymns buried deep beneath dried earth, T.B.M. drinks the spirits of past greats Bathory, Kreator, Motorhead, Slayer, Venom, and other Kings as they frequent dens of iniquity, homes of misfortune and girls of ill-repute.
T.B.M. was founded by The Mad Arab (Bleed the Son) and Zawicizuz (Absu, Bleed the Son, Infernal Oak, Rape Pillage and Burn), with the later addition of Alkahest (Melora, Runes of the Evening), to forge Metal for a desert funeral.  
In the Fall of 2011, The Black Moriah entered the studio to record their first effort "Casket Prospects". Upon completion of the album, these outlaws on the outskirts spread their gallows medicine from El Paso to New Orleans

A Voodoo Witch Doctor "The Doctor" in his travels came across a little girl who looked lost and scared. He used his magic to turn her into a doll, but his spell was disrupted from her terrifying and taunting screams, she remained half human, half doll. As Raven lived in the dark world of the Doctor, she secretly learned his magic and conjured up a demon, Muppet, who she made her eternal protector and trapped him inside her heart. The Doctor and Muppet created Stitches to search for souls who are looking to join our dark world and are known as "The Psyche".
Raven Black released their first Single, "Died Inside" on September 7, 2013 at the Roxy, selling out the venue that night. They continued to work in the studio and released their first EP, "Midnight Dreary" in June 2014, successfully packed the house at the famous Viper Room.
The band was previously managed by Aaron Rossi (Grammy Nominated Drummer of Ministry/Prong), AJR Enterprises and worked with Grammy-Winning Producer Logan Mader (SoulFly/Machinehead/Five Finger Death Punch).
In October 2014, they revamped their line up and began working with Grammy Nominated Producer Ulrich Wild (Rob Zombie, White Zombie, Alice In Chains, Breaking Benjamin, Pantera, Seether,Dethklok, Otep, and more) on their new album. They then spent the next two years writing and then released their single "Seven Sins" in April 2016 and their EP "Seven Sins" in September 2016.
​Raven Black played the Corona Hell and Heaven Festival July 2016 in Mexico City, Mexico with headliners like Rammstein, Twisted Sister, Ghost, Five Finger Death Punch, Mushroomhead, Selpultura, Alien Ant Farm and many others.
​To end their summer, they played the 2016 DirtFest Festival in Michigan with headliners, Killswitch Engage, Asking Alexandria, Hatebreed, Attila, Born of Osiris and many others.
​Releasing their first Official EP with the new line up, Seven Sins EP dropped September 29, 2016 on the way out to tour with Mushroomhead, Sunflower Dead, Unsaid Fate and Death Division for Mushroomhead's Annual Halloween Tour.
The 2017 year started very busy for Raven Black as they headed to Cleveland, OH to film their new music video with MonoBloc's Josh Apple and Andrew Sparks, for "Twinkle Twinkle Little Scars", Premiered by Revolver Magazine on April 13, 2017. A little horror version of their already theatrical presence in the metal community. "We wanted to have some blood in this one," says Raven.
After a quick rest, Raven Black toured through the Southern parts of the U.S. on their way to SXSW . They played the Heart of Texas Rock Festival in March 2017. Winning fans from across mutiple genres at SXSW. Raven says, "I am so proud of being able to share our METAL music with other fans of country, hip hop and pop genres. I was so surprised and happy to see them buying our music. It was fun and the only thing missing was the big mosh pit, LOL, although there was a small handful of metalheads respresented this year at SXSW. "
​After returning back home to Los Angeles, the band quickly prepared for their first Headliner Tour, The Hex O'Clock Tour, which kicked off in Guadalajara, Mexico at the Roadhouse Voodoo Bar, July 7, 2017 and returned to the U.S. to begin their onth long tour throughout the U.S. from coast to coast.
​The Hex O'Clock Tour was a complete success and the band was able to visit so many new cities throughout the country, see their fans and play so many new venues. Sharing with their fans, new stage props, a few new songs and announcing their new album "13" in early Spring 2018.
​Raven Black just finished their 6-week across the U.S. tour supporting Psychostick, Arsonists Get All the Girls and Kissing Candice. The tour was amazing and the bands have developed life-long friends. Doesn;t always happen on tours, but it did this time.
​To end the 2017 year, Raven Black just announced their Preorder of the Comic Book - The Dark Metal Carnival - The Beginning - Issues 1-100.

Tommi Varsala's  heavy metal machine  TYFON'S DOOM  will release  Emperor's Path   on November 17. Too often, classic or traditional metal bands get caught in the vacuum of relying too much on the past. Not  TYFON'S DOOM  sole member,   Tommi Varsala. Varsala’s innate ability to create classic, but timely metal rung true throughout previous EP Yeth Hound , but it’s even more prominent on the band’s first full-length,  Emperor’s Path . The album’s 11 songs brim with confidence, not to forget a production job that puts  Yeth Hound  to shame. It’s classic metal for the modern age. 

Recorded from autumn 2016 to February 2017 primarily in Tampere, Finland in Varsala’s own rehearsal studio,  Emperor’s Path  marks the first  TYFON'S DOOM  release to feature drummer Cederick Forsberg (Blazon Stone, Rocka Rollas, Cloven Altar) who laid down his parts at Studio 2-takt in Sweden. The production of  Emperor’s Path  also turned out to be another two-man effort, with Varsala recording his parts then sending them to Forsberg to mix and master. This allowed Varsala to focus on what he does best, namely, melodic, surging numbers, stocked with flighty twin-guitar harmonies and his throaty rasp, best described as the denim-wearing cross between MOTÖRHEAD legend Lemmy Kilmister and DESTRUCTION's Schmier. While songs like album opener “Tyrant’s Sceptre” and “Beyond Treason” are molten slabs of pure metal, the brilliant stacked melodies that kick off “The Hidden Hand” and ride throughout “Moonlight” showcase an outfit capable of combining the never-say-die melodies of NWOBHM with the bright melodicism of the band’s Finnish homeland.

The album cover was also handled by Varsala himself, who said “I couldn’t leave the first impression of an album to anyone else.” The artwork expresses a chaotic atmosphere on the “dead Earth” and the themes and reasons associated with the situation as it’s presented in the lyrics. Go even deeper and it consists of the themes presented in the album’s songs such as the hole in the sky (“Sea of Life ” ), the galaxy (“Rising Earth”), the cathedral and the graveyard (“The Hidden Hand”) and the black raven (“The Rider From Abandoned Town”).

Onslaught Tour 2017 - THE FORCE is BACK Due To Popular Demand!























Agentur EAM proudly presents ‘Thrash ‘till Deathʼ EU Tour 2017 featuring Onslaught and Artillery.
UK Thrash legends ‘ Onslaught ʼ are one of the most explosive and controversial Metal bands ever to come out of the UK. Releasing 3 now legendary albums in the 80ʼs (Power from Hell / The Force / In Search of Sanity) they will be performing ʼThe Forceʼ in its entirety to celebrate the albumʼs 30th Anniversary.
Early 2016 saw the release of ‘Live at the Slaughterhouseʼ a live DVD that celebrated the power and raw intensity of an Onslaught show that was well received by the public and critics alike. 2016 has also seen Onslaught as the first international thrash metal band to play Vietnam as well as touring China, Taiwan, Japan and Singapore.
The Onslaught continues as relentless and hungry as ever! ‘The Forceʼ is back due to popular demand and the tour will be extended to Eastern EU this December for the very last time!
Joined by Denmarkʼs  Artillery  who are easily appointed as one of Europeʼs earliest exponents of thrash metal, this tour will pay homage to the glory of 80ʼs Trash Metal.
After touring in China, Japan, South America and USA/Canada Artillery released their last offering ‘Penalty by Perceptionʼ in 2016. They are now back on the road celebrating the 30th Anniversary of ‘Terror Squadʼ.
When heavy metal is played by musicians who are dedicated 100%, the genre can reach a level of passion, feeling and sheer raw power like no other.

This one will take nerves of steel; from its opener “Awakening” to the closing title track, the listener will partake in a furious adventure, weaving through elements of the strongest metal genres of our time. You’ll be guided by the shimmering heat of sweeping lead guitars, face-melting solos, deafening growls, pummelling bass lines and of course the thrilling hooks of Brittney Slayes' king-size voice. Heartrending choirs defending heavy metal evermore beckon you into battle! Channeling the fiery brilliance of shooting stars, there is immense beauty on “Apex”, and it clutches you with a fervor that lingers well beyond the last cymbal decay. Through swift melodies and a flair for the dramatic, UNLEASH THE ARCHERS newest release compels you to chant with fists raised high in the air "All hail heavy metal!”
