NIMROD B.C. is a Thrash Metal Band which is around since 1985, founded by guitarist Chris Ira. In 1988 their first Demo-Tape „Time of Changes“ was released. It was a great success in the back then tape trader scene and got good reactions in magazines all over the world. For example it was chosen #1 demo of the year by FETU Magazine in Japan. In 1990 they got their first record deal, but the album was never released due different reasons in and outside the band. Chris was frustrated about the whole situation and left the band for some years.

In 2004 the band decided to release the old demo remastered with some unreleased studio tracks and live recordings, before another break was done. 5 years later Chris decided that it is time to reform the beast and started a new chapter under the NIMROD B.C. banner, together with Fernando Gonzales (bass), Cesar Anazco (guitar, ex Necrosis), Rodrigo Cerda (Drums) and singer Leonardo Caballero. After their comeback, they played major festivals in Chile, Argentina and big festivals in South America with bands like TWISTED SISTER, VOIVOD, MORBID ANGEL among others. In 2009 their album “Return To Babylon” saw the light of day and also received many great reviews such as “best Chile’s metal band ever” from Germany.

Their new album „God Of War And Chaos“ was produced by Chris himself at the Noctambulus Studios in Chile, before it was mixed in London by Darren Carikas. The mastering was done by one of the metal gurus, Bill Metoyer, who is well known for his work with SLAYER, DARK ANGEL, WASP, SACRED REICH and many more. The album features the new vocalist Gary Wayne, which was recruited to bring that one special tone to the NIMROD B.C. music.

_{The idea behind WILDNESS began to grow in the summer of 2013 when the first songs were written. With main focus on heavy guitars, wide keyboards, big drums, melodies and hooks the shape of something new and exciting began to emerge. At this point, Wildness was more of a studio project and originally founded by drummer and songwriter Erik Modin while the guitar players Pontus Sköld and Adam Holmström were in to share the lead guitar parts early on. The search for the right lead singer wasn’t easy as pie, but after a few months their destiny crossed with the unbelivable vocal talent Gabriel Lindmark in early 2014. More songwritings and demos recording came along, and it didn’t take long until it was clear that WILDNESS deserved to be a real band. On September 1st 2015, WILDNESS independently released their self-produced debut single ”Collide” which immediately gained a lot of spins at various digital platforms such as a number of online radio stations focused on AOR and Melodic Rock. Live performances that followed showed that the band was capable to deliver on stage as well.}

_{The second single ”Turning The Pages” was released on January 14th 2016, and shortly after that WILDNESS was approached by Georg Siegl by German record label AOR Heaven. The contact resulted in a record deal which allowed the band to finally begin the launch of their first full-length album. The choice for the producer fell on the creative and productive mastermind Erik Wigelius (Wigelius, Care Of Night) and the pre-production and recordings took place between during 2016 and 2017. The main part of the record was recorded at Erik Wigelius’ studio, besides additional parts recorded by drummer and co-producer Erik Modin. The two previous singles ”Collide” and ”Turning The Pages” were re-recorded for the album. The mixing and mastering was handled by Erik Wigelius, who really knows how to take the 80’s-influenced sounds at put them in the 21th century! Despite their short career, WILDNESS have already shared stages with well established acts in the scene like WHITE WIDDOW and DYNAZTY.}

CARUBINE really is the definition of a power-trio, born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden. Influenced by the hard rock and prog of the 70′s, and the darkness and simplicity of the grunge and alternative scenes of the 90′s, the band has developed their own style and sound, with eerie vocal harmonies, heavy riffs and hypnotizing atmospheric guitars.

October 20^th 2017 sees the release of the debut album from the band Into The Unknown through Vigilante Records. Entitled “Out of the Shadows” it showcases 11 songs ranging from the acoustic “Breaking My Heart” through the anthemic “Monsters” to the hard rocking “Why Me?” and “Once”. Throw into the mix an interesting choice of covers - Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” and Chris de Burghs’ “Don’t Pay the Ferryman”- and you have a diverse album full of catchy choruses, soaring vocals and raucous riffs.

The core of the band is vocalist Lucie Hölzlová, with Guitarist Ryan Atkins and bassist/producer Rupert Withers.   Together they have penned all the original songs on the album. 

Lucie and Ryan met Rupert when he produced a song for their previous band. Shortly after Ryan did a session for him on a recording. The chemistry between them worked and they decided to record more material, inviting Lucie to provide the vocals. From here songs were written and an album evolved. As they moved forward to create music, things started organically slotting into place and Into The Unknown was born. A mix of influences, from Nightwish, Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC and Halestorm right through to Adele, have contributed to the sound of Into The Unknown, and blended together to create their own powerful rock sound.

Fast forward to 2017, the album is ready, recorded at Vigilante Studios in Buckinghamshire. Live shows and acoustic sessions are being planned for the release period - so watch this space.
