BAND: | Codeseven | Codeseven formed in the fall of 1995 by three brothers and a couple close friends in Winston-Salem, NC. Playing together as brothers for their entire life has built a trust and musical connection that builds their evolving sound of the band to unprecedented heights. Finding friends that shared that same vision was the true blessing for this band. Dancing Echoes / Dead Sounds (out this fall on Equal Vision Records) is the culmination of that evolving sound and friendship that should speak volumes to their peers and those in the mainstream music world. Codeseven first released A Sense of Coalition (The Music Cartel) and that in turn put the ... | |

BAND: | Anew Revolution (Co-Managed with InDeGoot) | “We are not a band of easy way outs,” Anew Revolution bassist Frank Salvaggio says. He is not kidding. The members of Anew Revolution have been around the music industry block several times, in other bands and in this band. They have made mistakes and learned from them, so as not to repeat them. But there is only one constant: the fact that not doing this music and this band is not an option. Anew Revolution is bound by its need to make music and to reach the people. Turns out, the individuals who make up Anew Revolution are not much different than their fans. Anew Revolution is not just a band that refuses to be chewed up and spit o... | |

BAND: | Revocation | REVOCATION draws from the best aspects of the metal world on their Relapse debut Existence Is Futile. The trio blends world class musicianship with a pronounced technical flair; songs twist, turn, and stop on dime as dizzying solos dance with thrash metals razor-sharp precision to create an album greater than the sum of its parts. Existence is Futile transcends all of modern metal, its sub-genres and labels and firmly establishes REVOCATION as one of the finest new metal bands of the 21st century. | |

BAND: | Kittie | “We wanted this to be a behemoth of an album, a real beast,” says Kittie front woman Morgan Lander of In The Black, the fifth studio album of her bands decade-long career as metals reigning femme fatales. The band delivered true on their promise, creating a 12-track behemoth of unapologetic metal splendor, forging bone-crushing music and penetrating vocals into a snarling beast of blunt force trauma. And better yet, they did it without any drama. Tara McLeod, Kittie s acclaimed guitarist returns with a prodigious second studio effort. “Tara comes from a different school of music, she s more influenced by blues and jazz, and as we ... | |

BAND: | Wrath And Rapture | The metal maelstrom known as Wrath and Rapture was brought to life one dark and stormy night in early 2006 by 5 young men on a mission to give American metal a major overhaul.

BAND: | The Showdown | The Showdowns new album, Blood in the Gears, represents the band down to its DNA, on the cellular level. Blood allows your body to survive. Gears make machines move. This rifftacular Tennessee bands gears are greased with the blood of their passion. And the end result is electrifying. While some bands that experience membership changes give up or give in to that undeniable occupational headache, The Showdown didnt even think about going that route. No way, son. They elected to keep on keepin on, a testament to their Southern work ethic and their passion for playing. New bassist Jeremiah Scott produced early The Showdown records... | |

BAND: | The Contortionist | Bass drops and bottom heavy open chords that resonate long and strong enough to shake the core of the earth. Skyrocketing bursts of oscillating guitar leads layering an ominous and dark undercurrent of rhythm. While hardcore punk may be the sound that rules the day in The Contortionist hometown of Indianapolis, it is the bands signature brand of forward thinking heavy metal that has made them stick out as hometown favorites. The band worked to earn a loyal hometown following though consistent regional shows, coastal touring, and 2 self released EPs. The band clearly began to define their sound and grow as musicians on their most recent wor... | |

BAND: | Woe Of Tyrants | Ohios Woe Of Tyrants spent the entirety of 2009 criss-crossing the US on a multitude of tours. After the grueling schedule came to a close, youd think they would, and most bands do, head home to relax and take some time off. Not Woe Of Tyrants. They immediately dove right into songwriting for Threnody, the follow up to their sophomore album and Metal Blade debut, Kingdom Of Might. This time around, the guys have seriously turned up the shred-knob and have churned out an album chock full of incredibly exhilarating and exciting songs. Their style lends itself to a level of brutality and heaviness present in bands like Children Of Bod... | |

BAND: | The Human Abstract | Re-examine what you might call a genre of music, a fashionable style, or a social statement. Rethink what being in a band is all about in the first place. Ego is useless, and in fact, a hindering entity, and we will have no part of it. We seek solace in the focus of music, and share what we've found with anyone who cares to listen. We do not wave flags of religion or creed, or seek pity for failed relationships in our music. We strive to bring pieces of the whole of truth about the inner workings of what it means to be a human being. We are not your parents, teachers, preachers, or government. We do not shield your eyes from things tha... | |
