Features
Chatting with Nele and Gilbert of Elvellon
Remember, a few weeks ago we published our review of Elvellon's brand new album "Ascending in Synergy"? We already announced our interview with guitarist Gilbert (G.:) and vocalist Nele (N.:), which took place the day before the release. Both were in a very good mood, even after a long interview day. Here it is, By the way, have you listened to the album or even bought it?
RMD’z 2024 – Here We Come!
If you read our festival reports from 2022 and 2023, you will understand that this is not a "normal" commercial metal festival, but a very special one. The Rock & Metal Day'z is organised by the charity organisation M.A.DE. for Kids e.V. Its mission is to help children and young people in need and their families. One focus is cancer aid. All proceeds and donations go to this charity. So, what's a better reason to go to a metal festival?
June News
For the June News we are going to focus on some open air festivals we have in mind. Here are our recommendations for this month. We will be busy at Rock & Metal Day'z as part of The Crew and at Rockharz Festival, so there will be no July-news, but we will feed your appetite for metal with reports and pics afterwards instead.
Chatting with Jules of SETYØURSAILS
I must thank Jules for this interview and her time. It was a wonderful interview with a wonderful personality. Jules has a very open mind and an honest, realistic, down to earth point of view. She does not hold back her opinion in any case. And she has a lovely smile, something that some people might not imagine when Jules is on stage screaming out all the positive aggression of SETYØURSAILS' songs.
Easter Cross 2024 – The different kind of Easter tradition
For the 30th time, the Easter Cross Festival in Oberndorf, offers all the heathens out there a fantastic alternative to spend their easter weekend.
SETYØURSAILS – UNITE & CONQUER
I first saw SETYØURSAILS last year and they surprised me with their fresh modern metalcore and impressive vocals. Their lyrics are in English and sometimes not for the faint hearted, as songwriter Jules doesn't hold back her thoughts in the slightest. The music is aggressive in the most positive way, but that is exactly what the audience expects and deserves.
ELVELLON – Ascending in Synergy
"Where dreams unite with metallic power". After their album debut "Until Dawn" in 2018, it's now time for the second release from the rising symphonic metal band Elvellon from Germany. "Ascending in Synergy" is the first album to be released on Napalm Records on 17 May 2024. Join Elvellon on an exciting journey between childlike wonder and hard-hearted bitterness.
Bad Marilyn – Eye Of The Snake
I have nothing against Swiss cheese or chocolate, but today I have something much better for you: Bad Marilyn's debut album, “Eye Of The Snake”. The band around singer Andrea Raffaela presents eleven plus two impressive power metal songs with a heavy dose of death metal and deep growls.
May news
It seems that spring has finally taken control of the weather and temperatures are rising again. For us, it is time for an update and some short May news.
