Shadows Entwined

Tim Anderson - Vocals

Walter Martinez - Guitar

Emilio Coello - Guitar

Tom Myers - Bass

Gabriel Lopez - Drums

Los Angeles, USA. This new breed of sub-genre consists of the musical heaviness of Black/Death Metal and the strong and memorable melodies of classic heavy metal. In fact, they are the only Dark Power Metal act in existence in the states or even the world. Their influences stem from melodic giants such as, Helloween and Stratovarius; the musical brutality of Dimmu Borgir and the heart stopping live show of Iron Maiden.

In 3 years they have already released a 5 song EP called “Nightmares Made Flesh” and a full length CD, compellingly named “Divine Darkness”, which has not disappointed the review critics. Since the release of their latest CD's, they have toured several times nationally throughout 2009 and 2010; all the while performing sold out shows with likes of Stratovarius, Hammerfall, Sonata Arctica and GammaRay. You see, commanding a crowd of thousands is not the issue for them. Their goal is to enslave millions of metal heads to be our faithful followers in the decades to come.

Not only has Shadows Entwined performed over a hundred shows, they have won several battle of the bands in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas. They are being played on Internet metal shows' regular rotation. Their CD's are selling exponentially throughout the USA, Mexico, South America, and Japan. New and exciting things are underway for 2011 as Shadows Entwined will be releasing their 3rd CD called “Pathway To Infinity”, which is set to release very soon. Let the Shadows consume you!

Evelyn

Alexa - vocals

Chorus - guitars, programming

Asteria - Keyboards

Evelyn was created by the end of the year 2002 in Zbaszynek, Poland. In the beginning it comprised of two people: Asteria and Chorus. After a few weeks of rehearsals Morgoth (bass) joined the band.

In June 2003 Evelyn recorded the track "Cyklotymia" in the studio and just after a few months they recorded their first demo, on which three instrumental tracks were included: "Cyklotymia", "Anestezja Uczuc", "Odrzucenie" - it's entitled as Instrumental Demo. In a three-person make-up they played a few concerts. They decided to leave tracks from the first demo in their instrumental versions and started to work on a new material.

In December of 2003 Kristof (vocals) joined the band, material was created, which they recorded in Spring of 2004. The demo is entitled "Schizophrenic Key" and consists of four tracks: "Icarus", "Schizophrenic Key", "Trauma", "Mirror". Already in a four-person team they played at concerts and their recordings were presented on various radio stations. In the meantime new tracks were created.

In Spring 2006 Evelyn recorded material entitled "Assertivity" which consists of six tracks: "Shame", "About Legion", "Seasons", "Sickness Of Structures", "With Stars Polemic", Journey".

At the end of 2006 the band parted ways with the bassist and Kristof (vocals on albums Schizophrenic Key, Assertivity). Since that time, they aid themselves with a programmed bass.

In January 2007 vocalist Alexa joined the band. They started to work on new tracks. In Spring 2008 Evelyn recorded their newest material entitled "Awareness of Death", the album consists of five tracks: "In the Gears of the Time Machine", "Unreal Asylum", "Anaesthetic Spectrum", "Awareness of Death", "Mental Isolation".

In March 2010 Evelyn recorded a single entitled "Suicidal Melancholy" and
in March 2011, a single entitled "Catatonic Euphoria".

AZYLYA is a female fronted melodic metal band from Belgium.

AZYLYA was founded in 2009 and is based in Brussels, playing a mix of symphonic melodic metal, gothic and thrash.

The sound of AZYLYA came to be by creating a harmony between the angelic voice of Songstress Jamie-Lee (ex - Skeptical Minds & Aedden) and the thrash scores of Vlad, bringing the dark, painful and suffering in contrast with a sound of hope.
Influenced by bands like Epica, Paradise Lost, Nightwish, Sisters of Mercy, Lacuna Coil, Leaves' Eyes, Midnattsol,...
