BAND:	Eluveitie	The perfect album… This press sheet could be started with dropping all those famous names that worked together with ELUVEITIE to create this new opus called "Everything Remains (As It Never Was)", but to be honest, this record doesnt need to be pushed by those sort of things, because it is what it is, no matter what! The bands saga of success began just when mainman and mastermind Chrigel Glanzmann decided to form ELUVEITIE with the goal to fuse Gothenburg styled melodic death metal with ancient folk melodies and themes to a powerful mixture that would soon become the "New Wave Of Folk Metal". That was back in 2002 and Chrigel only m...

BAND:	Fear Factory	n the early 90s, many years before Killswitch Engage and Shadows Fall started combining strangled growls with catchy vocal melodies, and Static-X and Rammstein began blended pounding staccato riffs and jackhammer beats with electronic samples, Los Angeles future-thinkers Fear Factory were reinventing both death metal and industrial rock with an arsenal of sonic styles. After releasing four critically acclaimed albums and two industrial remix EPs, selling over a million albums in the process. Following a grueling tour with Machine Head in 2002, the creative core of Fear Factory imploded due to personal differences and sheer over-exertion. G...

BAND:	The Empire Shall Fall	Providence, RIs freshly-minted metallic hardcore powerhouse The Empire Shall fall first came into being in the summer of 2008, after longtime friends Nick Sollecito and Jesse Leach got together and decided it was high time for them to form a band. Though Leach had split with Killswitch Engage several years previously and Sollecitos roots lay mainly in the jazz and hip hop scenes, they were dead-set on bringing a balls-out modern metal band to life. After finding a temporary drummer and recruiting Jake Davenport on guitar, and practicing endlessly to truly nail down the TESF sound, the quartet began playing gigs around New England. The addi...

BAND:	Heathen	One of the most unique bands to rise from the second wave of the Bay Area Thrash explosion, Heathens style was characterized by high-speed precision riffage and harmony sections coupled with melodic singing. Inspired, by 70s rock acts such as Rainbow, the NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal) and the first wave of Thrash Metal (Metallica and Exodus), Heathen was formed in late 1984 by Russian-born Lee Altus (guitars) and Carl Sacco (drums). Vocalist Sam Kress and guitarist Jim Sanguinetti joined the duo and this primordial version of Heathen played one gig in April 1985.

Never quite satisfied to be a follower, Gong exited situations like his lead vocal role in the band Drowning Pool to steer his own ship. He met up with Dean Andrews (drums) and Kenny Harrelson (bass) who had played together for over 10 years and the like-minded trio formed the core of the band. “They are locked in together and wired tight,” says Gong of the rhythm sectio...
