Inside us all lives a beast – fragile yet fierce.
“Humanimal” is the voice of this duality: our inner struggle, our need for empathy, and the hope of renewal as the World Tree falls. Let the lyric video take you on a journey where emotion meets atmosphere, and music becomes a mirror of our humanity.

With its mix of prog metal, symphonic elements and female vocals, “Humanimal” delivers heavy riffs, cinematic layers and a soaring chorus that captures the essence of the album’s conceptual journey.

Finnish female-fronted progressive metal band Canvas of Silence present the Official Lyric Video for their new single “One With The Wind”, taken from their debut concept album “As The World Tree Fell”.

Inspired by Hayao Miyazaki’s acclaimed film The Wind Rises, the song takes the form of a farewell letter — the last words of someone preparing to part with the world, leaving behind a message of hope, love and liberation. Musically, it merges haunting vocal melodies, soaring choruses, and intricate prog-tinged arrangements, in what the band calls “Prog-influenced Chorus Metal”.

“As The World Tree Fell” explores themes of collapse, rebirth, and the fragile beauty of existence — “One With The Wind” is a key emotional chapter in that journey.

Heavy/power metal band Eregion is set to captivate fans once again with the release of their brand new single, “Earendil Star” out today March 22, 2024!

This highly-anticipated track offers a powerful blend of distinctive power metal tones, coupled with the band’s signature epic flair, promising a gripping musical journey.

For fans of Ensiferum, Blind Guardian, Judas Priest, Crimson Glory, Manowar.

As a prelude to the spring album launch, Eregion introduces a refreshed lineup, welcoming Dario Fontana as the lead vocalist and Davide “Gengis” Gianforte as the bassist, injecting renewed energy into the band’s sonic landscape.

The band shared their first single “The Story Goes On” this past July and today are ready to offer the next glimpse from the album with the track “My Heart”. The song features guest vocals from Olaf Hayer (Luca Turilli’s Band, Dionysus) and Anders Sköld (Veonity) along with a guest guitar solo from Nick Giannakos (Wretched).

“I had a lot of fun recording this song. My brother Marius help me with the lyrics. Olaf Hayer and Anders Sköld sing this catchy and fast power metal song. I have had this chorus stuck in my brain so many times. I hope the fans will go around singing this song all the time as well.” adds Pete Danielsen (Vocals, Keyboards).

Presenting epic, bombastic, fast, powerful fantasy through their compositions, this second record from Eunomia is a group effort, as the first full-length was completely written by band founder, vocalist, and keyboardist Peter Danielsen. Joined by his brother Marius Danielsen (Legend of Valley Doom), bassist Alexander Ormseth, guitarist Magnar Winther Skorgenes and drummer Alessandro Kelvin (Perc3ption), the tracks on this new offering are more powerful and stronger than before with much more variety than their first effort.

“The Chronicles of Eunomia Part II” also features guests Alessandro Conti (Twilight Force), Arnaud Ménard (Alkemyst), Jimmy Hedlund (Falconer), Matt Krais (ShadowStrike), Ty Christian (Lords of The Trident), Mikael Dahl (Crystal Eyes), Olaf Hayer (Luca Turilli’s band, Dionysus), and Anders Sköld (Veonity). Overall, this second full-length has everything from power and symphonic metal elements to contagious choruses, fast double bass drums, and even slow epic songs that fit the storytelling perfectly.

“Everyone in the band has helped shape the new album. We worked hard to get this album the way it sounds. Re-written parts on many songs to make them as perfect as we could. I think the fans will hear that the band has evolved and become better, tighter, and more creative than on the first album. Better melodies, better songwriting, and even more epic than ever. We have leveled up significantly on this album. I believe this album is 10x better than the first one and I think the choruses will be stuck in the minds of fans and I hope they press the replay button many times after listening to it for the first time.” adds Peter Danielsen.

Marius Danielsen also adds:
“As the mixing and mastering engineer for this album, I must say it has been quite a journey. My brother and I have worked closely together on this album for about two years. Learning new mixing tricks and carefully carving out space for every single instrument in a dense mix consisting of 250 tracks or so per song has been a cool process to be part of. I think we managed to create an epic-sounding Power Metal album full of glorious melodies and memorable hooks.”
Not slowing down, the band is already in the works for writing “The Chronicles of Eunomia Part 3” and looks forward to performing live.

“I can’t wait to bring back Eunomia as a live band again now that most of us live in the same city again. We will try to tell the story of Eunomia with great energy, perfect performances, amazing guest artists, and awesome setlists.”

Recommended for fans of Rhapsody Of Fire, Twilight Force, Dragonforce, Freedom Call, and Hammerfall, “The Chronicles of Eunomia Part II” is due out on September 15, 2023.

Fantasy symphonic power metal band France’s Avaland is celebrating the release of their sophomore full-length “The Legend of the Storyteller” out now as of March 31st, 2023 via Rockshots Records with their new music video “To Be The King” featuring guest vocals from Pierre Carabalona (Eltharia) and guitar from Jens Ludwig (Edguy).

The band comments:
“We feel this is another great anthem track on the album and had the most sound in the roots of “Edguy traditions”, and it’s why we had to ask Jens Ludwig to make a solo on it. It’s such an honour to him a part of it as the band has been one of our influences in heavy metal. He did a great job!”
We also like to say welcome to an epic, symphonic and bombastic album for a 1H trip to the magical world of Avaland!”

Watch and listen to “To Be The King” ft. Pierre Carabalona (Eltharia) and Jens Ludwig (Edguy) – https://youtu.be/VOmm4aHhe_4

Compared to Avaland’s debut album, the band’s next full-length “The Legend Of The Storyteller” is heavier and is a much more epic power metal record full of anthems upon anthems for fans to chant to as they are taken on a journey over twelve theatric tracks. The record also hears double vocal duties from Adrien G. Gzagg and Jeff Kanji along with album guests that include Zak Stevens (ex-Savatage/TSO), Madie (ex-Nightmare/Faith In Agony), Pierre “Cara” Carabalona (Eltharia), Ivan Castelli (Lionsoul), Angèle Macabiès, Jens Ludwig (Edguy) and Bruno Ramos (Sortilège/ex-Manigance).

Lead by Adrien G. Gzagg (Autor/Composer/Lead Singer/Synths and Orchestrations), the album’s storyline is a prequel to the band’s first album “Theater of Sorcery” as he explains further:
“This album, as the first one, is a journey, a trip out of our world, into the universe of Avaland. We enjoy seeing Avaland as a great saga, as a movie, or series. We feel like listening to Avaland is like watching Game Of Thrones, The Lord Of The Rings, or reading comics, it’s an escape from everyday life. For this album, we took a lot of inspiration from Game Of Thrones and Arthurian Myths. We love fantasy and mythologies and we also find ourselves having a great fascination for alchemy and esoterism. Time is also a great subject, it’s mystical… in fact, time will be at the center of this saga. This new opus is showing a heavier and darker atmosphere of Avaland’s theatrical universe. Are you ready to be part of “The Legend Of The Storyteller”?”
Avaland is recommended for fans of Savatage, Angra, Avantasia, Symphony X, and Queen.

Today, Avaland shares their second single “Betrayers” featuring guest vocals from Madie (ex-Nightmare/Faith In Agony).

“BOOM!” That was my first reaction while listening for the first time to the final mix of “Betrayers”. This song is the more bombastic one of the album. This song is a real speed power metal one, with a tragic chorus, Jeff sings like a god on it, especially when the final comes, he shows all the spectrum of his incredible voice. It’s the first song for Avaland I built around the guitar parts instead of the keyboards, and I must admit my mates sublimated it so well!” says Adrien G.
