ORIGIN: Saille was founded by Dries Gaerdelen in 2008, in order to create his favorite style of
music (melodic black metal with a threatening feel, like Tartaros, Limbonic Art and Keep of Kalessin).
The collaboration with Jonathan Vanderwal [guitars/vocals] was a logical result of their longstanding
cooperation in their previous band Mortifer. Filip Dupont of Gorath participated in writing lyrics and

At first, there was nothing but these memories of a cold and grey urbanism. It is meanwhile walking down the streets of Kemper, France, that netra was first thought of, back in 2003. Nothing else could convey these horrible feelings, this underlying depression and boredom of city life. Seven years and two demos later, netra raises the interest of Nick Skog, owner of the canadian label Hypnotic Dirge Records...
There are several bands bearing the name Mandrake; 1) Mandrake, Gothic Metal band from Germany: The German Band Mandrake was brought to life by Lutz de Putter in the wastelands of northern germany ("Ostfriesland") in the late 90`s. In 1998, the self-produced album Forever was recorded, presenting the band as a mixture of slow death-metal and elements of the gothic-scene. Female vocals were rare and sung by a guest-vocalist.
The Plot in You is a metalcore 5-piece originally starting as a side-project of former Before Their Eyes (Rise Records) guitarist/vocalist, Landon Tewers, quickly became his main focus. Forming in Findlay, OH after parting ways with BTE, a solid line-up for the band was formed and work on their debut EP was underway. "Wife Beater" (InVogue Records) was both heavy as well as haunting, where lyrically Tewers gives you a look inside the lives of people he has come into contact with over the years.
Nervecell emerged early in the year 2000 in the commercial city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Surrounded by a music scene that is dominated completely by the mainstream musical hype, Nervecell independently worked their way up and have undoubtedly proven to be the most potential metal outfit in the Middle East to date, delivering a powerful unique mixture of death metal & thrash metal. After a series of lineup changes within the band it was only until 2003 that Nervecell decided to record the first demo entitled “Vastlands of Abomination”.
Since this Savannah, Georgia quintet first formed in early 2001, worrying about genre limitations has never been a priority. Taking musical chances, however, always has been. While KYLESA are as heavy as any band out there, they are beholden to no one scene and no preconceived notions of what heavy music should be.
"Lots of people like to stick to one kind of music," guitarist/vocalist Philip Cope elaborates, "and even with the underground, lots of people segregate themselves into small little categories and place lots of imaginary rules on these scenes."
Iggy Pop (born James Newell Osterberg, Jr.; April 21, 1947) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. Though widely known as an innovator and "godfather" of punk rock, Pop's music has encompassed a number of styles over the years, including pop, hard rock, jazz and blues. Pop became known as 'Iggy' in high school, during which time he served as drummer for local blues band The Iguanas.
CLOWN CORPSE are based in Hull and were formed out of the Remnants of the band Planet Ten in autumn 2006. After 11 years of Gigs around Hull and the UK, Planet Ten ground to a holt. We all still loved to have fun on stage and we always want people to enjoy watching us, consequently CLOWN CORPSE was conceived. After a few line-up changes we have now got back to what we like best. Playing live. With the added bonus of the new material starting to filter through, we have now released the long awaited CD 'Enter the Circus of Fear’.
