BLEEDING - third official Teaser for the Album "Elementum" released!
BLEEDING has released the third teaser for the new Album "Elementum". The official releasedate for the new album "Elementum" was on the 27th October 2017. The Album is available as CD and Download.
On October 27th, 2017 BLEEDING will release their highly awaited second album “Elementum”. The band already raised some fury in the underground, when they self-released their EP “Bleeding” in 2012. With their in 2015 released debut “Behind Transparent Walls” they were not only meeting expectations of critics and fans, but even surpassing them.
Now there are nine new tunes that can easily achieve the level of such crazy songs like “Madness” or complex epics like “Humanoluminiscence”. The songwriting skills and musicianship have reached new heights, you would not expect from a non full time band. Though you never know, if you might get riddled by a thrash riff or get caught in an atmospheric interlude the next second, the band will never lose itself in egocentric instrumental show offs. Instead, intelligent and song orientated arrangements hold all the cards, while being completed by the intense lyrics. Fear and emotions, rising from daily issues, are also covered besides religion and the greed for scientific knowledge. Live-Experience was gained while playing with scene’s veterans Kenn Nardi (Anacrusis) and Psychotic Waltz.
BLEEDING is ready and will inspire every fan of high class metal! LINE-UP: Haye Graf - vocals Jörg von der Fecht - guitars Heiko Spaarmann - bass Andreas Tegeler – drums Marc Nickel - guitars Youtube BLEEDING - 3rd Teaser for "Elementum"

MEPHISTO „Mephisto" - Cover, Tracklist, Release Date: 26th January 2018
The release date of the of the album „Mephisto“ by the German Power/Speed Metal Band MEPHISTO on CD is January 26th, 2018. The pre-order phase will start on January 12th, 2018 in our webshop. The album will be released in a limited Edition of 500 copies (handnumbered), with 6 Bonustracks, certificate and hologram.
In the year 1988 the classic mideighties Heavy Metal in the style of GRAVESTONE, NOISEHUNTER, STORMWITCH and many others was already threatened from the harder wave of Speed and Thrash Metal. So MEPHISTO took a bit of the faster early HELLOWEEN, a bit more of BLIND GUARDIAN and mixed it with their own ideas and the typical German trademarks. The musical ability was high and in comparison, both albums are more or less equal strong, but the first album was released only in micro quantity, so it is the more rare of both and finally with this edition a gap will be filled in many collections! TRACKLIST: 1. Prologue - Mephisto 2. X-Rays 3. In Dubio Contra Reum 4. Save Your Rights 5. Battle of Kerovnia 6. Holy Child 7. Prologue – Mephisto (Demo, Bonustrack) 8. X-Rays (Demo, Bonustrack) 9. In Dubio Contra Reum Rays (Demo, Bonustrack) 10. Senseless Marchin (Demo, Bonustrack) 11. Aliens (Demo, Bonustrack) 12.

The album will be released in a limited Edition of 500 copies (handnumbered), with 8 Bonustracks, certificate and hologram.
FIRST OFFENCE was a typical NWoBHM-band fitting perfectly in the time between 1980 and 1983, but the first album came on the market in the year 1988 and the NWoBHM was already a part of music history. Fantastic songs like the opener "Rip it up" or the catchy "Mad, mad world" - to name only two - convince totally today!
Luckily FIRST OFFENCE wrote some more songs and recorded them without being able to release them so far. Finally, with this reedition you can listen to the complete fantastic material which this totally underrated band made around three decades ago. It is definitely worth discovering FIRST OFFENCE today. The band is nothing less than a lost legend of Heavy Metal! TRACKLIST: 1. Perpetual Motion 2. Rip It Up 3. Mad Mad World 4. Time Spent (With You) 5. First Offence 6. Strange Night 7. Into The Night 8. Walking Wounded 9. Running Man 10. Rages 11. Breaking The Mould 12. Edge 13. Angelica (Bonustrack) 14.
