Right On, Kid! had humble beginnings as an acoustic project formed in 2014 by friends Zach Rose and Nick Encinias. Zach and Nick wrote several songs and performed at various shows around Albuquerque. Their style was a catchy pop punk flavor, raw and unapologetic. Gaining attention and popularity the guys decided to put together a full band and added a drummer and added to their visibility in the local underground music scene. In the summer of 2015 ROK added RJ Butler on lead guitar and Tieler Cooper on bass guitar. As a full 5 piece band the group began writing music for their debut EP “On The Brighter Side of Things” which was released in April of 2016. The group toured the Southwest and Northwest in support of the new album.
In the Fall of 2016 the original drummer left the band and the guys added Elijah Pomerleau to handle the driving pop punk rhythms for the band as they began to write music for the next EP. While the band’s first EP was flavored more like the past music of their Pop Punk influences, the upcoming album shows off their own unique style and addition to the mainstream genre. Recorded at Duke City Sound in Albuquerque, their sophomore Album ”Forever Missing Out“ pre production by David Dominguez (Weezer, The Offspring, GnR, Queen Latifa, and Warrior Records) Mixed by Seth Henderson (Knuckle Puck, Sleep On It, Hold Close, Belmont) and mastered by Kris Crummett (Sleeping with Sirens, Man Overboard, Dance Gavin Dance, Jonny Craig).
The highly anticipated release is scheduled for late January, 2018.

EN // Gloomy Glimmers is a French pop-punk band from Lozère that started in 2012.
The band is composed of: Bastien (guitar and vocals), Thomas (bass), Etienne (drums) and Florent (guitar) last member freshly arrived. For the anecdote the name of the group means in French 'dark glow' because at first we played in a garage with a light bulb.
We released our first EP 'ONE STEP' at the end of 2013 including 5 tracks, recorded in home studio.
After a little slump in 2014 (change of member, family life) the group went back to work to release two quality titles in June 2015: 'Helping Hand' and 'Bad Religion'.
This is a real progression both in terms of style and sound since they were recorded at the 'Snapcut Studio' in Nice with the great Rémi Mayot (Can Escape For Louie, Can not Bear This Party, Freygolo ...).
In July 2016 was released the album 'Stay Away From This Place' composed of 7 titles (the two previous + 5 new), also recorded at 'Snapcut Studio'. Then came the release of the clip 'Stay Away' in September 2016.
We wish to continue our ascent and make you discover a powerful and melodic rock.

Le groupe est composé de: Bastien (guitare et chant), Thomas (basse), Etienne (batterie) et Florent (guitare) dernier membre fraichement arrivé. Pour l'anecdote le nom du groupe signifie en français 'les lueurs sombres' car au début nous jouiions dans un garage peu éclairé avec une seule ampoule.
Nous avons sorti notre premier EP 'ONE STEP' fin 2013 comprenant 5 titres, enregistré en home studio.
Après un petit passage à vide en 2014 (changement de membre, vie de famille) le groupe s'est remis à bosser pour sortir deux titres de qualité en juin 2015: « Helping Hand» et « Bad Religion ».Il s'agit là d'une réelle progression tant au niveau du style qu'au niveau du son puisque qu'ils ont été enregistrés au « Snapcut Studio » à Nice avec le grand Rémi Mayot (An Escape For Louie, Can't Bear This Party, Freygolo...).

Blasting with style: MolochAfter a night of heavy drinking and blastbeats at a local venue in Linköping early 2012, blackened thrash metal came into mind. Two weeks later Nekrokraft was formed by Angst (vocals, guitar and bass at the time), Doc (lead guitar) and NekroBlaster (drums) with the ambition to play fast, aggressive and obscure underground music.
The result was Nekrokraft’s first singel, The Cunt Of Bridgecheecks, containing 2 songs which features raw black/thrash-metal and shrieking vocals. In April the same year the first EP, 666 Ways to Torture was released and Monger joined Nekrokraft as the bass player shortly after the recording. A couple of months later a week-long recording and material writing session in an old earthcellar, far out on the countryside resulted in another EP, Witches Funeral.In November Nekrokraft were played on indonesian radio, the episode featured an 20 minutes long interview and songs from all releases were played. The 22nd of December marked the first live appearance with Antichrist, Vampire and Vanhelgd. A metal fanzine under the name Suicide Scriptures from the UK visited Nekrokraft for an video-interview and gig-review.
”Nekrokraft is epic, doom-laced Black Metal with moments of explosive brutality and speed that almost raise the hairs on the back of one’s neck. Shownmanship obviously abounds throughout the set; the singer and bassist displaying signs of learning from the best in how to titillate a crowd but it is NekroAngst’s particular style with the crowd which is inspiring as it displays all the hallmarks of classic frontman potential. ”
- Suicide ScripturesNekroBlaster decided to leave Nekrokraft and was replaced by Moloch. A few gigs around Sweden were made, then Monger was replaced by Ghol on bass. With the band focused on a more theatrical approach recruited Iron on guitar, witch left Angst the possibility to focus on the vocals. In 2016 Nekrokraft signed with The Sign Records and will release a 7-track album the 7th of November the same year.
'Nekrokraft is all about witches brew, the fucking woods and thrashing through the boundaries of hell.'

BIOGRAPHYTwitching Tongues are the best kind of sore thumb. While channeling a variety of hardcore and metal influences their unique sound is esoteric and resists lazy classification, yet it is equally dynamic, powerful, and instantly gripping. Having dropped two full-lengths, toured extensively and garnered a cult following, the band's third album - and Metal Blade debut - Disharmony sees them truly come into their own. Dramatically building upon the foundations of 2013's In Love There Is No Law, the LA-based quintet pushed themselves both musically and emotionally to create something that is not only fresh and exciting but really matters. 'We feel that we've finally written the record we were supposed to make. This is what we've been building up to since we started the band,' states vocalist Colin Young. 'We've always put everything we've got into our music, but this one is more personal. It's darker, it's more aggressive, and I'm sure it will be more polarizing too, but we're more invested in it than anything we've done before, and we couldn't be prouder of the end result.'
Formed in 2009 by Young and his guitarist brother Taylor, the band's initial sound was 'all over the place', but through constantly playing shows and being driven to create new material they steadily refined their music, picking up more and more fans along the way. Twitching Tongues embarked on multiple headlining US tours, and ventured overseas to play in Europe, Japan and Australia, and with the release of In Love There Is No Law they connected with their followers even more profoundly. While Young still loves that record and the doors it opened for them, Disharmony has eclipsed it in almost every way. 'By the time In Love There Is No Law came out we had already dropped two songs on a 7', and a third as a single several months earlier, so there were really only six fresh songs when it came out. This time, we have ten brand new songs that we are so excited about, everything is fresh, and everything is a step up from what came before it.'
It only takes one listen of Disharmony to be convinced of Young's claim. Shot through with urgency, everything exists on an emotional razor's edge, it is a more ambitious record, more dynamic, and more achingly frank. Moreover, with each successive exposure to the record it reveals hidden depths and richer melodies, drawing the listener further and further into both the musical fabric and the exposed emotional state of Young. 'We started writing and noticed it was coming out way heavier, more extreme, and we just went with it, and I also knew straight away that I really wanted this record to be more cinematic. For the past couple of years I've listened to almost nothing but King Diamond, and the cinematic experience of the first six or seven records is fucking untouchable. That really influenced me in writing the synth parts, and wanting to make everything feel cohesive, so when you put the record on it's one big experience.' Having achieved this is all the more impressive for there being a great deal of diversity across Disharmony, often within individual songs. The opening title track is drenched in menace, assaulting the listener with Slayer-esque guitar abuse, and its slow motion chorus hammers down with unrepentant, bludgeoning ferocity, and the frenzied 'Cannibal' is easily the most violent music the band have put their name to. However, in contrast to this there is the brooding, electronic 'Arrival', which is a continuation of the acoustic track 'Departure', from ILTINL. 'We wanted to kind of have a similar feeling where the tone of the record quite literally departs from the overall sound, and we knew we had to do that in a different way. We thought doing a Depeche Mode-meets-Godflesh industrial electronic track was the way to go, and it really is something special,' Young explains. Their most ambitious statement comes in the form of 8-minute closer 'Cruci-Fiction', a lumbering, ugly beast drenched in spite and evil. 'We sat down and said we're going to write a song and it's got to be the biggest thing we've ever written, and we actually started from the keyboard outro and worked backwards. We knew the vibe we wanted for the chorus, which was Type O Negative's World Coming Down meets Warning's Watching From A Distance, and I think the result speaks for itself.'
Penning the lyrics for Disharmony was very much a cathartic process for Young, his life experiences over the two years since releasing its predecessor providing him with the 'pain that is required to make an amazing, memorable album.' Much of his anguish stemming from the end of a relationship of several years, he channels the emotions this unleashed into 'Insincerely Yours', 'The End Of Love' and 'Love Conquers None', the record's pivotal lyric emerging from the latter, screaming 'love is a lie, forged by mankind'. 'I was feeling it and I wanted to say it. I wanted to put it out there, and at that point it stops being a personal message but one for anybody who has felt that way, and there are a lot of people who have felt that way.' Elsewhere, 'Cruci-Fiction' furthers Young's previously established dissection of Christianity and organized religion, while the title track tells the full journey of Twitching Tongues, Young believing that the term disharmony not only sums up the theme of the record but the band's entire existence. 'When we first did the live video premiere of 'Disharmony' at Hellfest there were already people saying this doesn't make sense, why is he singing over this? I'm there thinking that's the fucking point. That's disharmony, we've done it, thanks for proving it.' However, perhaps the most achingly painful and personal song on the record is 'Asylum Avenue', which while on first impression sounds far more metaphorical, is rooted in some of the greatest distress the vocalist has experienced. 'It's a lyrical and spiritual successor to our song 'Preacher Man' [from ILTINL]. That was me looking at the situation described in the song as a child and articulating that, and this is me as an adult, somebody who - if I wanted to - has the ability to kill a man in cold blood, and particularly this man who wronged me and my family. I daydream about ending his life on a constant basis, and that song is my window into that being a reality. When we tracked the chorus for the first time I teared up, it really hit me like a sack of bricks.'
As with the album's predecessors, engineering, production and mixing was handled by Taylor Young, brother Colin asserting that it's his 'engineering masterpiece', and the chunky, layered sound and dynamism of the recording bears this out. With most of the songs written with the live scenario in mind they wanted to capture that energy and spontaneity, and the process itself was a profound time in the band's existence, aware they were creating something truly special. Caught up in this excitement it came together very quickly, and, in fact from some fans' point of view, almost worryingly so. 'Everything went so smoothly, and before we knew it we were on track and flying through it. We were posting about the recording process as we went, and people were seeing that and saying slow down! Don't go so fast!' Young laughs. 'But we were taking our time. The best part about making music is making music, and we were always on our toes, so excited to see the outcome, and everything just came really naturally.' With the finished result exceeding even their own expectations, the band are hungry to play the songs of Disharmony to the fans, both those recently acquired and those who have supported them since day one. 'Within the first year of the band some guy had my lyrics tattooed on his chest, and another guy got a tattoo on his head. That kind of passion was a sign, saying to us alright, we're doing something that people are going to get behind, it's not only us who believe in what we're doing. It's such a comforting thing to be able to play a city five years after you played there the first time and some of the same people are there singing along. Clearly they're still around for the long haul, and it will be a long haul, because even though we've been around a while this really feels like the beginning.'

Unrivaled live concerts, an aggressive recognizable sound, clinical musicianship, and a classic 'Aussie' sense of humour have earned Harlott a strong and dedicated fan base, which continues to grow day to day.

Hailing from the Felsinea city of Bologna, Prospective, established in 2013 originally as a solo project of drummer Flavio Cacciari, has since then become one of the most heavy technical band in the Italian music scene. Simply devastating, their latest album Beyond has been considered a pleasant and emotional ride.
In 2015, after two years being an Instrumental band, Stefano Baldanza (Bass) Davide Ruggeri (Guitar), Luca Zini (Guitars) and Pietro Serratore (Vocals) joined Prospective and released the band’s first EP titled Chronosphere.
One year after their official live debut, PRJ has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with great names such as The Algorithm, Uneven Structure, Exist Immortal, Betraying The Martyrs, Now Voyager, Bear.
2016 marks the spot as their first full-length album Beyond, produced by Federico Ascari at Wavemotion Recording Studio, came out receiving high rates and positive reviews. Since its release, the record has sold hundreds of copies and got thousands of plays on main streaming platforms.
March 28th, 2017 the video for Watershaped (Directed by Donatello Viti at Reckless Visuals) premiered on It Djents which gave the band the following statement: 'This song delivers groovy and melodic guitar work. On top, the singing evokes some Northlane vibes, while the guitars conjure comparisons to The Safety Fire and Veil Of Maya”.
Beyond is one of the main band goals. It’s a hell of a ride that has given the band the opportunity to play with many more international acts like Hacktivist, Tides From Nebula, Breath Of Nibiru, Napoleon, Dreamshade, Northlane, Oceans Ate Alaska.
