SYMPHONITY – new album annoucement
We are proud to announce the third studio album by Symphonic Power Metallics SYMPHONITY called “Marco Polo: The Metal Soundtrack” which will be released on May 20th. The album will be released also in Japan (May 18th) and USA (June 24th).
The new release is a conceptual album which tells the life story of Venetian merchant Marco Polo whose travels to the Far East became legendary. From the musical side, it’s SYMPHONITY’s hardest, fastest and the most symphonic album so far. Moreover, it is spiced with many ethnic instruments from the Middle and Far East which gives a specific sound to each of the songs. On the other hand there are also some ballads on the album. So as a whole, it sounds balanced and colorful.
MEMORIES OF OLD – The Land Of Xia (Performance Video)
On this day 3 years ago, MEMORIES OF OLD released their very first single to the world, which went on to become one of their most popular and well known tracks „The Land of Xia“, the worlds first taste of MEMORIES OF OLD and the groundwork for what was and still is to come!
You may remember a while back, „The Land of Xia“ was also voted for the track you all most wanted to see them make a performance video of, and with that in mind they figured today would be the perfect day to release this video for you to all enjoy. 😉
So here it is, please like, share, and most importantly, rock out with us, as we celebrate this special day in style! 😎🤘

FireWölfe releases new single & video!
FireWölfe is excited to release their 2nd single and video entitled „Pedal To Metal“ from their upcoming album „Conquer All Fear“ (out on Nov. 19th).
Singer Freddy Krumins describes „Pedal To Metal“ as an „adrenaline charged, attitude filled romp that needs no further explanation. Just plenty of volume and visualization of the open road.“
Musically the aggressive guitar riffing brings to mind uptempo good time Rock’n’Roll like classic Van Halen, while the vocals, bass and drums are full throttle throughout. The only slight break in the action is after the ripping guitar solos during a half time manic breakdown that sounds like Freddy K. is losing his mind!
Indeed, „Pedal To Metal“ has a simple message of putting your foot on the gas and getting where you want to go in life—so start your engines and get ready for a wild ride!
As the lyric says „never low on fuel, that’s the only rule!“
