After 12 years, the journey of Italian melodic power metal band KALIDIA has come to an end. The band members have, in consultation, decided to unplug all instruments and go their own way with different projects.

Greek soprano singer Marialena Trikoglou, who released a solo album “Vanity” in 2020, has formed a symphonic metal band named MYSTFALL in 2023. Expect a first single “Celestial Vision” on Scarlet Records soon with an accompanying video.

When one of your band members gets pregnant the show still must go on, says Swiss powerhouse band BURNING WITCHES. Guitarist Larissa Ernst is expecting a baby, but good ol’ friend Courtney Cox (The Iron Maidens) is stepping in for her.

Covid doesn’t only kill people, it can also be a reason for bands who struggle with the effects of the virus to fall apart. Unfortunately, German symphonic metal outfit SNOW WHITE BLOOD with singer Ulli Perhonen is one of them!

They’ve been around since 2008 and are the fastest rising band in their genre, Moldovan based INFECTED RAIN with the charismatic frontwoman Lena Scisserhands. On April 14th, their label Napalm Records will release a new live album, “The Devil’s Dozen”.
