Just a fiew brief notes to add to this week's news update:

Italy's symphonic visual metal band Silent Opera (Aria - voice, Rain - guitar and keyboards, Kabal - bass, Shadow - drums) have signed a management deal with Germany's Rock N Growl! Silent Opera's music is ageless symphonic metal, traversing the terrain between the rhapsodic romance of Mother Earth/Silent Force era Within Temptation, the dynamic drama of Nightwish and the theatrical thrill of Phantom of the Opera. Silent Opera - Lilium - official videoclip. [Source: Rock N Growl]
