Since its formation in Greece by Marios Iliopoulos and guitar hero Gus G (Firewind), many prominent figures of metal such as Tomas Lindberg (ex-At The Gates, Disfear, The Great Deceiver), Nicholas Barker (Dimmu Borgir, Cradle Of Filth), Per M?ller Jensen (The Haunted) have collaborated with Nightrage.
After several member changes the line-up is now as strong as their vision of metallic perfection. New vocalist Jimmie Strimell has already created a buzz of being one of the new stars on the death metal firmament and the bone crunching drumming of recently acquired drummer Alex Svenningson is sure to leave none un-amazed. Together with guitarist and founder Marios Iliopoulos and bassist Henric Carlsson, Nightrage is finally an unquestionable unit and have already proved their worth as an almighty metal machine on tour right up to the recording of A New Disease Is Born. Nightrage are now ready to step up to the higher level of death metal, with an album that is sure to send riveting tremors throughout an unsuspecting world.
Vader - Polish Death metal legend! There are very few bands that have managed to weave a web of mystery around them. Very few have survived and kept going until today. When faced with the question "which ones," people tend to mention American death-mongers with the likes of Morbid Angel, Deicide Or Cannibal Corpse ... However, for a few years now in the same breath many have named Vader - perhaps the only band from Europe which has sustained its status for a number of years. Few may remember that Vader were the first band ever from behind "the Iron Curtain" to sign to a Western label!
Solitude Aeturnus remains one of the most respected names in the doom metal field with a style that borrows from classic doom as well as progressive metal. After five solid albums recorded between 1991 and 1998, the band was dormant for some time. But, in fact, the band is still alive and, with a revamped stable line-up, they finally released their sixth album Alone in 2006. The album got enthusiastic reviews all around the world - for example it was called "the album of the month" in German Rock Hard Magazine. Solitude Aeturnus proved they are on the very TOP of doom metal scene. Metal Mind Productions re-issued recently two of their classic album - Into The Depths Of Sorrow (1991) and Beyond The Crimson Horizon (1992).
Onslaught - British thrash metal legend that started their career as a punk-rock band. Their debut album Power From Hell and its follow-up album The Force brought a world-wide thrash metal fame to the band. Onslaught recorded three albums in the late 1980s - including the underrated In Search Of Sanity (1989) - before calling it a day. After a 15-year break, they re-united in 2006. The new album Killing Peace is scheduled for release in 2007!
