Thessaloniki is the second largest city in Greece, which is located in the northeast of the country - known for its inimitable enthusiasm and love for heavy metal. There are a lot of fans, clubs, magazines, and, of course, competing bands here. It was in this city that the Emerald Sun group was formed in 1998. The band has carved a place at the top of the local metal scene after numerous impressive and powerful shows.
The hell-bound iron horse is picking up speed again and races towards an exciting future with red-hot steaming engines and well-oiled gears… Devil's Train Are Back! With the band's ten year anniversary coming up, and two well received albums under their belts, the European answer to Black Label Society, The Dead Daisies and Black Stone Cherry presents us with a killer new long-player. Singer and band master-mind RD Liapakis (Mystic Prophecy/Steel Prophet) joined forces with drum monster Jörg Michael (ex- Saxon/Stratovarius/Axel Rudi Pell/Running Wild…), legend Jens Becker (Grave Digger/ex-Running Wild/ex-X-Wild) and six-string wizard Dan Baune (Lost Sanctuary/ex-Monument). This line-up, which could undoubtedly be dubbed a super-group, delivers a modern yet raw and honest album that bubbles over with visceral energy, southern sleaze and sex appeal.
Steel Prophet announces the release date and track listing of its upcoming album, "The God Machine"! The band recruited the all-star heavy metal singer / producer RD Liapakis of Mystic Prophecy / Devil's Train and his uniquely ranged vocal skills to perfectly match the songs on "The God Machine". RD Liapakis is not just the man behind the microphone though, since he - alongside Steve Kachinsky - is responsible for the songwriting and production process of the album. "The God Machine" will be released through Rock Of Angels Records.
Kayo Dot, the endlessly eclectic project of composer and producer Toby Driver, was formed in 2003 by the members of the legendary aethereal metal band Maudlin Of The Well. Since then, the group's muse has shown its face through slow and massive cascades of guitars and violins, and soundscapes spanning from tripped-out goth fusion, informed by Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew," to hyper-fast, angular and atonal suicidal black metal.
