CHALICE
The beginnings of Chalice go back to 1997, when Shiralee began seeking fellow musicians with the intent to create heavy emotional, melodic music. It was at this time she joined forces with former drummer and lyricist Adrian, and the initial incarnation of Chalice was born. 1998 saw the introduction of guitarist Sean, along with other members since departed, and a promotional CD was recorded. On the strength of this CD, Chalice signed to Modern Invasion Music. Soon afterwards they were joined by guitarist Justin to record their first album, "Chronicles of Dysphoria", which also featured a session violinist. By the time of the album's release, their ranks had been swelled by the addition of Alana on flute, whose ethereal quality brought a new dimension to the Chalice sound. "An Illusion to the Temporary Real" was then recorded, and released in late 2001. Simon took up the role of bass player shortly before their Australian tour in 2002, completing the line-up heard on Chalice's third album, "Augmented". In March 2004, Chalice announced the departure of drummer/lyricist Adrian, leaving Shiralee as the only remaining original member. Mat Enright had been working with the band for some time on a session basis before finally officially becoming their new drummer in March 2005, after which Chalice put together their fourth and most heartwrenching release, "The Calm That Was the Storm". This enhanced EP features two markedly different versions of the title track, as well as fresh revisitations of a song from each of the previous three albums, enriched by the warmth and drama of Adelaide's Zephyr Quartet playing breathtaking string arrangements by Joel Baligod, and a bonus feature of the video clip for the title track.
Chalice's most notable triumphs included: overwhelming crowd response at Australia's national heavy music festival, Metal for the Brain, 2 years in a row; "An Illusion to the Temporary Real" being voted in the top 5 Australian albums in a Triple J (national radio) listener's poll; support billing with international artists such as Norway's extreme metal legends, Mayhem, Sweden's gods of melodic metal, Opeth, as well as Leaves' Eyes & Atrocity; and a successful overseas expedition for some live appearances and the shooting of the "The Calm That Was the Storm" video clip in New Zealand.
Thankyou to everyone who supported the band during its 10-year span of existence, and to all those who continue to listen to and derive enjoyment from the music created during that time.
Chalice's originator and driving force for those 10 adventurous years, Shiralee (me, hey, hi everyone! *waves* :-) ) continues to occasionally check in on this space, but please excuse her for the probable infrequency of visits... She generally doesn't like to just add people willy-nilly to her personal profile JUST because they liked her band, but feel free to nose around her profile and blog for news of her personal and musical hijinks if that sort of thing interests you... It can be found below in the top 8. :-)

UNICORNIA
Desde aquellos comienzos en los que se decantaron por un estilo pop-rock hasta el día de hoy donde podemos escuchar la evolución de sus melodías hacia el Metal Melódico, han sido varias las personas que han formado parte de su historia.
Consolidada su formación graban “Absentia” , primer cd autoeditado que consta de 8 temas y gracias al cual han dado a conocer su música mas allá de los escenarios.
Sorprende la potencia en sus directos y el hacer de cada actuación un grato recuerdo.
Actualmente han grabado su segundo cd que consta de 11 temas y que llevará por título “nihil”. Será editado en el mes de Junio y presentado oficialmente después del verano, aunque en ese periodo seguirán dando conciertos.

THE DREAMSIDE
The Dreamside was founded in 1994 by singer Kemi Vita and released their debut album Pale blue Lights at Nuclear Blast Records which was followed in 1995 by a dance- MCD Nuda Veritas.In many ways the third album Apaika was a mark point in the history of the Dreamside. Released in 1996 under Nuclear Blast/ East West Apaika" revealed the potency and diversity of the band. A European tour followed on which Kemi and her musicians played several shows at festivals. Mirror Moon was released in may 2001 and the music became harder with live drums added. For the American market a Dreamside compilation called Faery Child was released on Dancing Ferret Discs with a selection of tracks spanning their 7-year history, 2 previously unreleased tracks and a Cruexshadows-remix.After a long and productive time in several studios in Germany and the Netherlands The Dreamside 5th full length album "Spin Moon Magic" was released in 2005 on Dancing Ferret Disc . The video for the single "Open Your Eyes," featuring Rogue from The Cruxshadows, is also included as a bonus.

TALES OF DARK
The mentioned demo CD bearing the title «U KORI TAME» was recorded in early 2003 in Novi Sad and it is the first studio recording of the band. It was well received by the audience and the webzines and fanzines, as well as some radio stations which have been promoting it. The CD contains 4 songs (3 in English and 1 in Serbian) the total running time of which is 27 minutes and it represents the first period of the band's creative efforts. This material was done when the lineup was somewhat different than it is now; consequently, the genre of music was somewhat different – namely, the demo contains quite a bit of gothic influences alongside doom and death metal riffs.Two years after releasing this recording it can be confidently stated that the aforementioned demo has played the most important part in acquainting the national auditorium with TALES OF DARK.Using the benefits of the World Wide Web during 2004, the band introduced their music to a worldwide audience, and was met with good reviews and a great interest in the band’s current work and future efforts. Only 3 people stayed in the band out of the lineup that recorded the demo. The original keyboardist Predrag Babic was replaced because of leaving to the army, while bassist Radenko Maric and vocalist Borka Medic are no longer with the band because of disagreements about the music. Drummer Vukašin Mandic left TALES OF DARK to work with another band (Anguish Sublime), the genre of which was closer to his personal taste.
Davor Menzildžic, who had mastered the demo, joined the band in July 2003, filling the vacant keyboards player slot.

BATALION D'AMOUR
Zespól ma na koncie 5 albumów wydanych na CD, z których pierwszy datowany jest na rok 1998. Popularyzacja BDA na polskiej scenie to wlasnie druga polowa lat 90-tych, kilkukrotne wystepy na festiwalu Castle Party, trasy koncertowe z Moonlight, Closterkeller i Aion. W 1998 r. ukazal sie material "Labirynt Zdarzen" wydany przez Morbid Noizz Productions. Po wydaniu tej plyty BDA zainteresowal sie Metal Mind Productions, co zaowocowalo trzyplytowym kontraktem. Kolejne wydawnictwo "Dotyk iluzji" (1999r), przez wielu uwazane za jest najlepsze z pierwszych czterech plyt zespolu. Pochodza z niego takie utwory jak "Dotyk iluzji" i "W Polowie Drogi Do Nikad", które do dzis sa stalym elementem wiekszosci koncertów BDA. Rok pózniej ukazala sie plyta "55 Minutes of Love", w której zespól bardziej uklonil sie stylistyce rocka progresywnego. Wydany w 2001 roku album "W Teatrze snów", przez sam zespól uwazany jest za dzielo bardziej niz poprzednie dojrzale i dopracowane brzmieniowo. Z wydaniem kolejnej plyty zespol czekal az 4 lata. W grudniu 2005 powrócil na scene z wydawnictwem "NIYA". Nowy wokal, nowa stylistyka tytulu to takze nowe spojrzenie na Batalion d'Amour. Material dosc dlugi (ponad 60 min) i zróznicowany stylistycznie.

HYDROGYN
In September 2003, West Virginia guitarists Jeff Boggs and Jeff Westlake began work on a new experiment – a compelling modern heavy rock tour de force like no other on the scene – an outfit designed to destroy musical and industry barriers.
Jeff Westlake on the blueprints behind HYDROGYN, “We wanted something a broad audience could love but also be something special. Something that stood out."
Fortified with cutting edge riffs, intelligent lyrics and massive hooks delivered by Julie (just “Julie”), a stunning front lady with a multi-octave range, the result is a formula set to conquer everything from Alternative Rock to Modern Hard Rock to Timeless Metal without sacrificing credibility.
HYDROGYN is built to explode.
RUMBLES…
By the time the band’s self-produced debut hit the scene, the industry was already putting their ears to the ground, picking up on the rumble that is HYDROGYN. Best Served With Volume found the band in favor with soft drink giant Pepsi, who not only sponsored the fledgling outfit but hoisted them in front of tens of thousands strong at NASCAR (Chevy Rocking 400 May 2005). The audience response was nothing short of inspiring. It was clear, even without prior exposure to the band, onlookers fell into the hands of the fivesome’s massive, genre leaping sound and mesmerizing front lady, making the case that Jeff Boggs, Jeff Westlake, Julie, bassist Jason Fields and drummer Jerry Lawson were onto something.
The audience affect was verified when HYDROGYN began packing clubs in the Midwest and New England areas, selling out venues that seated up to 1500 people. Smaller venues had them booked for multiple nights. HYDROGYN was rapidly becoming a live band to be reckoned with.
LIFT OFF
“In 7 years of editing a major hard rock webzine, I have never seen an indie act with such a complete package – broad appeal, great musicianship, a dynamic front lady and most important, they are smart AND determined. They understand the big picture and are quickly becoming part of it. “ – Brian Coles, Editor - Electricbasement.com
Hot off the heals of Volume’s release, HYDROGYN issued a professional video clip for the single “The Sand,” which was featured at the world renowned Electricbasement.com. The response to the bombastic music and sensual video was immediate, yielding the band radio guest spots across the country including www.Dailynoise.com and several Clear Channel stations including WAMX 106.3. Dark Vission TV jumped to put it in rotation, providing the band with massive exposure in Mexico and Latin America. Traffic to the band’s website soared, with visits eclipsing 25,000 per month, an astounding total for a new, unsigned band.
Top-level affiliations began to pour in. Sponsorships with Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, Off The Rim, Eagle Distributing, Pearl Drums, Vic Firth Sticks and Loud City.net followed in rapid succession. More recent sponsorships include Randall Amps and Modules, Eden Bass and Custom Gemstones.
But it did not stop there. NOW Comics featured a HYDROGYN track, “Vesper’s Song”, as a CD single included with their acclaimed graphic novel release VESPERS® by veteran author/illustrator Tony Caputo. The novel and band are currently nominated for an IPPY Award, which is a top honor in the independent publishing industry. Caputo also assisted in making the band’s new, curvaceous logo, perfect for hot selling T-shirts and other merchandise. Taking advantage of this, the band signed a licensing deal with Crave Trendware, with custom HYDROGYN watches to see store shelves in early 2006.
Julie’s visual and vocal appeal helped her gain notoriety with her very own column at Electricbasement.com called Julie’s Jolts, where visitors voted on which pics to include in her forthcoming calendar. The idea was a no-brainer after the brisk internet sales of Volume as well as a Julie poster that sold out a mere weeks after being posted in the band’s online store. The band’s ability to sell merchandise was another strong asset.
SOARING HIGH
In the Spring of 2005 the band received yet another jaw dropping accolade. Legendary producer Michael Wagener (Ozzy Osbourne, Skid Row, Alice Cooper) heard the band and was impressed to say the least, deeming them the best band he has heard in years. He also understood something else – the band could go over not just in North America, but also in Asia, Europe and South America. Once again, an indicator for the bands potential to cross borders, not just in genre, but geographical as well. So optimistic about their prospects, he agreed to produce the band’s next record.
(Wagener discography can be viewed here: http://www.michaelwagener.com/html/discography.html)
In June bassist Dave Moody replaced Fields. Moody’s talents and experience are huge contributions to the band going forward.
The buzz was not in effect, having landed the band in MIX Magazine (print), Metal Maniacs Online (net), This Is Rock (Spain, print), Blabbermouth.net (net), Prosound News (print), Blistering.com (net), Bravewords.com (net), New Herald Dispatch (print, net) and the nationally syndicated Tour Bus Radio Show official site (net) among others.
After leaving the studio In August, the band headlined the second stage at the popular Xfest in West Virginia, put on by Clear Channel station WAMX. Other bands on the bill include the Gold selling Seether. Regional Clear Channel General Manager Judy Jennings has backed the band by putting them in rotation on WAMX (106.3) and WKEE (100.5). Jennings is notable for helping to discover Billy Ray Cyrus and recent major label sign American Minor.
The fall also saw the band finalize another piece of the puzzle, with legendary photographer JOHN SCARPATI (Rolling Stones, Dixie Chicks), handling their photo shoot and album cover.
EXPLOSION!
As of this writing, HYDROGYN’s first major CD, Bombshell, made its official release on October 31st of 2006 through the bands own DA RECORDS. The CD hit Billboard charts in 3 different areas in November of 2006. Right on the heels of that Success the band scheduled a 28 date tour to take them through the UK and France. In July due to fan demand the band released Strip’em Blind Live again on their DA Label. Again it was off to France, Belgium and Italy for yet another tour in Europe in November of 2007.

FORGOTTEN TALES
Es con mucho agrado que les presento la nueva formación canadiense de power metal, Forgotten Tales. Como lo van a constatar, su historia es muy particular. Todo empezó en 1991, época en que descubrí el metal europeo con formaciones como Helloween, Stratovarius, Heaven's Gate, Blind Guardian, Rage, Gamma Ray, Scanner, Running Wild y muchas otras. Este estilo se convirtió inmediatamente en una de mis pasiones más grandes. Fui probablemente el primero en realizar un programa radial que ofrecía un contenido dedicado únicamente a la música metal europea en Québec. Me encontré con un material de una calidad tan grande, que me propuse dar a conocer a la gente de aquí lo que se hacía al otro lado del océano atlántico y sobretodo, dejar de pensar que el metal melódico estaba muerto.
A pesar de todo, la mayoría de estos grupos no han venido aún a dar conciertos en Canadá. Porqué ? Imagino que tienen todos buenas razones, pero eso no nos impidió, a mi como a los fans de aquí, de sentirnos olvidados. Después de todo, estamos alentando a grupos que jamás hemos visto "en vivo". Sin desalentarme, tuve la idea de buscar un grupo de músicos profesionales que podrían rendir tributo a los grupos power metal europeo. Mi meta final : presentar un espectáculo con las canciones más ilustres de este estilo y de obtener una fidelidad equivalente, como si escucháramos el álbum de los artistas originales y promover el estilo power metal europeo en Canadá. He buscado durante casi cinco años antes de encontrar la formación que alcanzaría mis expectativas : Forgotten Tales.
Al comienzo, sólo habíamos previsto dar tres o cuatro representaciones. Esta formación no era un verdadero grupo sino un proyecto que realizaba. Lo que nadie había previsto, era que el entusiasmo de este proyecto lo transformara en verdadero grupo. Tanto del punto de visto profesional como personal, los músicos de Forgotten Tales descubrieron que la ejecución de este estilo musical necesita tenacidad y un gran rendimiento. Con el inmenso éxito que conocieron en Québec, era simplemente imposible detenerse. Forgotten Tales se convirtió en un verdadero grupo con un sabor a metal melódico europeo y canadiense que presentan sobre la escena composiciones originales e interpretaciones de otros artistas.
Y eso es, un pequeño resumen de una simple idea que recorrió bastante camino desde hace diez años. Espero que aprecien el contenido de nuestro disco ya que le hemos puesto todo el corazón y el alma en su concepción. Gracias a todos. Power metal forever !

ODES TO ESCTASY
ODES OF ECSTASY were formed in November 1993 and two years later, in December 1995, they released their first promo which featured only one song called “Theogony”. In 1996 the band released a 5 song promo with the title “Atheistic Emotions”. The specific release was announced as the “promo of the month” from the Greek Metal Hammer magazine. In 1997 again they released a single song promo entitled “Words of Insanity” which gave them the opportunity to sign with the American records label, The End Records.
Through the contract with The End Records, Odes Of Ecstasy released their two official albums entitled “Embossed Dream in Four Acts” (1998) and “Deceitful Melody” (2000) respectively The sound of these two releases was Death Metal which was characterized by brutal male, operatic female vocals and many influences from classical music.
After that, the band came to a standstill for several years due to many line-up changes, caused mainly by the obligatory military service of some of the band’s members.
In 2004 the band formed again with a new line - up and a different musical orientation and in 2006 they released a self-title promo mini CD which was including 5 tracks of Modern Death Metal. The specific promo received some very positive comments from the electronic press and it was air played in several radio stations in Greece and Europe. It is noteworthy that when the Spain based Noise Hour radio show, posted its top 40 for the month May, the track “Threatback”, from that Promo, reached the 16th place among other well known bands of the international metal scene.
Finally, in October of 2007 Odes Of Ecstasy finished the production of their self – title third full length CD, a procedure which lasted for more than a year. This CD features also tracks from the promo CD released in 2006, with much better production and arrangements
For the moment, the band is planning several live shows in Greece, and is in search for a records label for a worldwide distribution and promotion of its latest work
