As previously announced Metal Mind Productions will release “War Machine” – a brand new studio album of the legendary British band Tank.    

Hollow is easily one of the most underrated bands in the history of progressive power metal. Their two stunning albums – “Modern Cathedral” and “Architect of the Mind” – never received the attention they deserved, despite stellar reviews in the music press. Metal Mind Productions presents the exclusive double reissue which brings back true classics from the past, filled with music that brings “power” back to “power metal”…  

Black Tide are currently in the studio with renowned producer GGGarth (Atreyu, Chevelle, Mudvayne) recording the follow up to their 2008 critically acclaimed debut, Light From Above.  

Serbian Black/Death metal hoard, BANE has posted “The True Insomnia,” from their forthcoming full-length debut Chaos, Darkness, Emptiness. Recorded Hellsound Studio in The Czech Republic, Chaos, Darkness, Emptiness was produced, mixed and mastered by Honza Kapak (Judas Iscariot, Krieg, Nargaroth, et al).  

Stormwitch are next to Helloween the biggest German heavy metal legend ever to walk this planet. Their career started in the 80’s with a string of successful albums and lasted until 1994, when the group disbanded due to personal differences. Fortunately, Stormwitch returned in 2002 with a new line-up and a new album, “Dance with the Witches”.  

Making the highest chart debut of their career, The Devil Wears Prada sees their “Zombie EP” (Ferret) enter the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart at #10, with nearly 25,000 copies sold (w/e 9/11/10).  The EP also debuted in the Number One position on the Billboard Hard Music chart, and at #2 on Billboard’s Independent Chart.

Metal guitarist Jon Donais of the chart-topping metal band Shadows Fall will be featured in the sixth issue of the Eternal Descent comic book series slated for release later this year. The issue features a storyline inspired by “Embrace Annihilation”, a track from the band’s “Retribution” album. Jon sides with chaos, joining the nefarious Loki as a fathful servant of the damned. An allegiance with dire consequences, Lyra and Sirian must fight for survival, as the ground trembles and shadows fall.  

The Swedish metal scene is known for many great bands, some of which became true legends of the genre. The Duskfall is yet another fine example of Scandinavian domination – their brutal, yet melodic sound captures all the most prominent features of modern metal music.
