ATTIKA - Song @ Soundcloud / THE NIGHTMARE STAGE - new video / BITCHHAMMER - Releaseinfo
ATTIKA - „When Heroes Fall” – official single from the album „When Heroes Fall“
The single of the US-Metal Band ATTIKA "When Heroes Fall" was released on Soundcloud. The release date of the ATTIKA album „When Heroes Fall" on CD is April 16th, 2019. The pre-order phase will start on April 12th, 2019 in our webshop.
ATTIKA comes from the same age as Ohio's RITUAL, whose re-release of 'Trials Of Torment' was recently released by Pure Steel Records. 'When Heroes Fall' by ATTIKA saw the light of day already in 1991 as cassette-only production, but only two years later - as well as the debut of RITUAL - was officially released by their former record company on CD.
Offered is fresh US Power Metal, which in its best form shows neither the pure characteristics of Thrash Metal nor Prog Metal, but integrates both of them. Steel as it has to be forged. With their second album the Florida guys came back again with might to the scene after releasing their debut on their own in 1988. ATTIKA, like some others, beat the trendy death metal and created their metal anthems with sawing guitars.
Remastered by Robert Romagna, the timeless work comes with the bonus live song "Silent Rage".

BITCHHAMMER - „Offenders Of The Faith" - Cover, Tracklist, release date: 26th April 2019
The release date of the new album "Offenders Of The Faith“ by the German Thrash Metal Band BITCHHAMMER on CD is April 26th, 2019 via IRON SHIELD RECORDS.
BitchHammer is Leipzig’s finest in black/thrash metal. Born in 2008 and armed with iron will, a metal heart and a stereotype-spiked mace, the trio infernale from the East German metal stronghold Leipzig did not come to revolutionize the scene, but to refresh the basic trademarks of the devil’s music with a straight-forward and old-school-infected Metal sound from hell. The spirit of ancestors such as Venom, Sodom, Darkthrone, Desaster and Aura Noir is the essence of their sound and the Infernal One lurks behind every corner.
Various concerts took the band on stage for example at »In Flammen Open Air«, »Taunus Metal Festival«, »Morbide Festspiele«, the Metal benefit festival at »Skullcrusher« Dresden and »Brutz & Brakel Stromgitarrenfest« Berlin with bands and friends such as Arroganz, Asphyx, Warhammer, Division Speed, Fäulnis, Hellish Crossfire, JT Ripper, Ketzer, Necrophobic and Nervosa. The beast has released three blasphemies on its own: the dirty »Doomblessed & Chaosborn« tape, a cool 4-Way-Split-LP with three other bands from Leipzig called »Thrashers of the Apocalypse« and the »Raging Hell Rivers« EP, which featured the band’s most relentless tunes so far. In 2019 the horde finally puts out its first full-length album: »Offenders of the Faith« is released on CD and LP by Berlin-based label Iron Shield Records. And it is exactly what it says on the tin…
BitchHammer stands for passion, riffs and the undying spirit of old school metal. With various club gigs and underground festivals in their back and their new album at (left) hand, the band is still hungry and more confident than ever. But no wonder, for the band still forges its unholy metal directly in the lungs of His temple: black, dirty and ass-kicking.
