ZERO DEGREE – Signs To Massacre Records

Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal bands, heavy metal news, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on January 10, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

ZERO DEGREE was formed in 2006 by Pascal, Tobias and Thomas. Up to that, the three were part of other bands, but they decided to look for a new challenge. Their purpose was to create music in the style of In Flames, Dark Tranquillity and Iron Maiden.

To recreate their music and harmonized guitar sounds live, they consequently needed three guitarists. Over the course of the year André, Maik and Sebastian joined the band.

The now complete line-up played their first shows in 2007. 
Throughout their career the guys were able to share the stage with bands from different genres of metal. These included Eisregen, Maroon, Mercenary, Deadlock, Suidakra and Anima.

In 2007 the band produced their first demo “The Storm And The Silence” which was mainly used as promotion on MySpace and for concert promoters.

ZERO DEGREE’s debut album Surreal World is going to be released on March 23, 2012 via Massacre Records.

NIGHTQUEEN – Signs To Massacre Records

Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, melodic metal, metal music, metal odyssey, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on November 23, 2011 by Metal Odyssey

Massacre Records are happy to announce the signing of NIGHTQUEEN from Genk, Belgium!

NIGHTQUEEN’s history began in late 2004 when guitarist and songwriter Rex Zeco decided to compose a kind of metal for everyone. The formula was simple: strong guitar riffs, upgraded with the Modern Metal beats and a melodic melody with catchy tunes that stay stuck in the head for a long time.

The band reformed a few times before the right line-up was found: Keely Larreina (Lead vocals), Daniel Kells (Keyboards), Rex Zeco (Guitar), Alan Rawson (Guitar), Steven Steele (Bass) and William Blodyn (Drums).

Only a couple of weeks to go until Christmas, that’s why NIGHTQUEEN present the ultimate Christmas metal song: “X-Mas Wonderland”.

The song was recorded at the Full Moon Studio in Genk, Tony De Block mixed the song at the Midas Recording Studios in Lokeren, where “X-Mas Wonderland” was also mastered.

You can watch the “X-Mas Wonderland” video clip here: http://youtu.be/Z8uBvdg1214

The band is also offering a free wallpaper on their website http://www.nightqueen.be/ in the media section.

LONG LIVE NIGHTQUEEN.

RE-ARMED have been up since 2001, when five guys in Kerava, Finland decided to start playing music similar to so-called “Göteborg Metal”.

During the years some line-up changes have occurred within the band but they have still managed to grow musically, as well as individuals.

Be sure to get your hands on their debut album, “Worldwide Hypnotize”, which is scheduled to be released on Massacre Records, on January 27, 2012!

RE-ARMED Lineup:

Mart Mardisalu – Drums

PREY FOR NOTHING – Signs With Massacre Records, Second Studio Album Drops On December 9th, 2011

Posted in Death Metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, melodic death metal, metal music, metal odyssey, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , , on October 27, 2011 by Metal Odyssey

PREY FOR NOTHING was forged in the fiery cities of Northern Israel.

After playing with Iron Maiden’s original singer, Paul Di’Anno, Yaniv Aboudy (guitars), Amir Salomon (bass) and Iftah Levi (drums) decided to dissolve their Prog-Metal band Damnnation in order to form a band more extreme and write songs more suitable to their musical taste.

PREY FOR NOTHING was joined by Yotam ‘Defiler’ Avni (vocals) with his acid throat and iron lungs, and the band released their debut album “Violence Divine” in 2008.

Inspired by classic Metal acts like Death, At The Gates and Testament, the band was joined by second guitarist Tal Behar (Orphaned Land live guitar player) and toured Israel, growing a massive following in the local scene.

Combining Progressive Metal elements to sheer Death Metal brutality, PREY FOR NOTHING can attract the fans of Opeth, Behemoth and all in between!

PREY FOR NOTHING’s second album “Against All Good & Evil” will be released on Massacre Records, on December 9, 2011!

PREY FOR NOTHING Lineup:

Yotam ‘Defiler’ Avni – Vocals

Yaniv Aboudy – Guitars

Tal Behar – Guitars

Amir Salomon – Bass

Iftah Levy – Drums
