EYEFEAR – The Inception Of Darkness

The album, which the Australians themselves describe as the most complex and darkest album in their history, glitters with excellent compositions, which straddle the entire width of the genre. „The Inception Of Darkness'“ offers a near perfect synthesis of progressive and power metal with a refreshingly individual note and unmistakeable trademarks.
There is also the remarkable voice of Danny Cecati (ex-PEGAZUS), who again knows how to display the wide range of his world-class vocals to their best advantage. Mixed and mastered by Tommy Hansen (TNT, DAD, Helloween…).

Great loss at Limb Music Publishing

We here at Limb Music were shocked upon hearing the news that Rudy Holzhauer, our partner in Limb Music Publishing since 1990, was found dead at his home in Hamburg on August 16th at the age of 60. Words can not describe the loss not only of a partner, whose immense knowledge of the music business and his commitment in various organisations has been almost legendary, but a dear friend for many years. Rudy, you will be missed! Limb, Gerd & TC
