In 2013, Norwegian symphonic/gothic metal band TRAIL OF TEARS released their last album “Oscillation”. Over a decade later, Greek label The Circle Music signed the band for multiple albums, but they kick off with a new EP “Winds Of Disdain” first.

Nobody lives forever, but some slip away far before their time. Italian melodic prog metal band HIDDEN LAPSE, who released three albums “Redemption”, “Butterflies” and “Dilemma”, announce the passing of their bass player Romina Pantanetti.

The announcement came in March 2023 saying the fairytale of German symphonic metal band SNOW WHITE BLOOD had come to an end. But eight months later they seem to have rebooted with a fresh lineup and a brand new single in the planning.
