DAVINIA ‘DIVI’ CANO & GLENN CANO (ANGELWINGS)
Divi: “Mythology is a subject that never seems to bore me and it opened my eyes to so many possibilities.“
By: Henk van Nieuwenhoven
“The fact that Metalville is a german label didn’t play a role in our decision. We were in very good contact with them and it just felt right.“
By: Henk van Nieuwenhoven
“Death metal came very natural for us. We all have very varied taste and certainly in death metal there is many death sub-genres that we love..“
By: Henk van Nieuwenhoven
HELENA IREN MICHAELSEN (IMPERIA)
“…I must say that I wouldn’t change a thing on “The Last Horizon”. It came out exactly as we wanted it to be and it captures perfectly the band’s identity and who we are at this moment.“
By: Dimitris Kazantzis
ROSSELLA MOSCATELLO (FALSE MEMORIES)
“Usually I don’t write love songs, it’s not my cup of tea, but I think that I can express love in different ways…“
By: Henk van Nieuwenhoven
CARLA DOMINGUES (NO ONE SPOKE)
“I like to experiment different vocals and sounds, so I try to explore more how the lyrics are communicating through different ways of singing.“
By: Henk van Nieuwenhoven
“Hopefully international borders can open again soon and TEMTRIS can finally play some festivals overseas.“
By: Henk van Nieuwenhoven
“We, LOVEBITES, have been influenced by European power metal… and we believe that the gap created by a small Japanese woman playing European type power metal is one of our weapons.“
By: Henk van Nieuwenhoven
“I think more of the new songs consist of fewer different riffs and are dwelling more on the different parts, and we also had an even bigger focus on dynamics and feeling than before.“
By: Henk van Nieuwenhoven
MARCELA BOVIO (DARK HORSE | WHITE HORSE)
“It’s a difficult combination of very loud, technical music with very melodic vocals. I think most people are used to hearing screams/grunts with this style of music and that’s why… it is so unique.“
By: Henk van Nieuwenhoven
DANAE KOMODROMOU (SCARLET DESIRE / VENGEANT)
“Regarding metal, it didn’t really take too much effort to find the appropriate people to work with. But in classical music, things work differently.“
By: Henk van Nieuwenhoven
“The whole album allowed me to explore all of my vocal abilities and this one was no exception, as it reminds me of a slightly different record.“
By: Henk van Nieuwenhoven
“If people like our previous EP’s, they will definitely like our new album. It’s a continuation of that, but deeper and better!“
By: Henk van Nieuwenhoven
“It’s our eighth album, and the eight is actually also kind of a special number, because if you put it to the side, it turns into the infinity symbol.“
By: Camilla Strand
“We needed something short and catchy to accurately describe our sound; the heavy aspect of the tight riffs and the furious drums and the larger-than-life feel of the orchestrations.“
By: Henk van Nieuwenhoven
“I am feeling blessed at this moment. COLDBOUND is a blessing, I have to say. Pauli and Meiju are wonderful, like a soul family, there’s a deep understanding and passion between us.“
By: Henk van Nieuwenhoven
“Many people in the metal scene know me as a Snowmaiden, as it is a moniker under which I perform as a solo artist. It is a nickname and persona I’ve embraced.“
By: Henk van Nieuwenhoven
“Yes, we took a new direction on this album, we wanted to bring a more modern and fresh sound to the songs but without never losing our identity.“
By: Dimitris Kazantzis
“Big communication problems that lead to isolation, conflicts and hate… Everyone loses when we’re afraid to communicate because of the fear of judgement.“
