...For the record...
 Beyond its musical dimension, Kalkas develops a conceptual universe around issues related to climate change and the anger this causes among the various members of the band.
In a romantic and dualistic approach, with some points of naturalistic contemplation, this album offers a first dive into the subdued atmosphere of a dark autumnal and forest mist. To a sound saturated with existential angst, the instruments respond to the call of Kalkas, a deep entity with a vague design for our humanities.
Punctuated with narrative and poetic vocal passages, the album 'Envoûtante Sève' offers a first vision of this new world, under construction.

Watch the official music video of "Coma Sex Life"

...For the record...

Jian was born in 2016 inside a swiss basement from the union of stoner and post-hardcore music.

After a long soul searching period and experimentation with different musicians, it finally settled on the yelled voice and cyclic guitar of Adam Saint-Roch (Guitar / Lead Vocal), roaring bass by Karim Cruchon (Bass / Backing Vocal) and sustained rhythm of Sébastien Tavel (Drums).
 
Stuck in a perpetual teenage rebellion carried by heavy sounds, incisive tempos, and syncopated chords, it keeps the melodic touch of happier days, dreamt but never lived.

With the release of its first album in 2021, 'Sinope', Jian is bringing its jerricans to add fuel to the fire.

French progressive death-metal Wrath Of The Nebula streamed entire new album 'The Ruthless Leviathan'. Out now on CD & Digital through M&O Music/Season Of Mist and all legal platforms.

 

"Whoever forgets the past cannot understand the future"

A few weeks after unveilling an official music video illustrating the single "D.N.A of the Gods", Progressive Death-Metal 4 piece Wrath Of The Nebula finally released its debut full-length album called 'The Ruthless Leviathan' and available worldwide right now on CD & digital through M & O Music/Season Of Mist.

In addition to the official release-news, the band also shared the whole effort for FREE-STREAMING on YouTube.

...For the record...

WRATH OF THE NEBULA is a PROGRESSIVE DEATH METAL band formed in 2018 by Hokuto No Dov and Vital Geff, having previously collaborated in several musical and artistic projects.
In 2019, joined by Kevin Paradis, phenomenal drummer, the music developed by the duo takes shape and the recording sessions of the pre-productions begin and reveals from that time on, the artistic direction chosen to set the themes of the songs.

The recurring themes of the group's compositions are linked to the presentation of legitimate questions of humanity on its deep origins and the plausible links between humanity and higher extraterrestrial entities, which could have been present on our planet, long before the development of our first civilizations.

In this sense, the arrival in the group of Déhà, to keyboards and orchestrations, will add an epic and classic color, to the brutal and progressive compositions of the group.

Thus the death metal power of the group regularly rubs shoulders with the search for melodies, which are dear to them, in order to favor the listener's immersion within a completely "stellar" concept album.
In any case, this is the ambition presented by WRATH OF THE NEBULA which in 2021, enters the VAMACARA STUDIOS to produce its 12-track album, under the leadership of the excellent HK KRAUSS, which will breathe power and clarity into the compositions of this first album soberly named 'The Ruthless Leviathan'.

Stream the single "Quantum Relay" on Bandcamp 

OG•EZ•OR is a French Hybrid/Electro/Metal band created in 2017 by F-2301. Strongly influenced by science fiction, the aim of the project is to stimulate imagination through music and image. Halfway between group and film music, the two brothers (F-2301 on voice, Keytar and machines & K-74 on bass) offer music illustrated by scripted video projections in live shows.

 

Their influences are numerous and the range of proposed atmospheres goes from cyber/electro to post-rock, through soaring atmospheres or punchy metal sequences. The band performs both on stage and in convention (SF, Japan, Gaming) in Europe.

 

OG•EZ•OR released its first album "Mind machine: a new experience" in 2019 with the send the wood label (distribution season of mist) and received very good reviews. In 2020 the single "FPS", dedicated to video games, is released with a specific video clip filmed in a cinema.

French Metal/Fusion/Rapcore gang Waking The Sleeping Bear premiered brand new official music video "Plus rien à perdre" // New album 'P*rno Future' out now on CD & Digital through all streaming services

 

A couple of months afther the official release of debut full-length album 'P*rno Future', French metal/fusion/rapcore gang Waking The Sleeping Bear just unveiled another music video illustrating the single "Plus rien à perdre" and available right now on YouTube.

 

For reminder, this song is part of the tracklisting of 'P*rno Future' , the band's debut full-length album released last year and still available on CD & Digital trough Bandcamp + all legal platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Amazon etc.).

"The music of Waking The Sleeping Bear is an all-angers crossoad. It's about time passing, past adolescence too quickly disappeared, about the anguish of the future by the ones that are dismayed by the past... Dressed sometimes with tribal sounds, sometimes with suffocating synthetic ambiences, the "nü metal" of WTSB hammers with rage some powerful convictions over a frenetic French-speaking phrasing, sometimes sung, rapped, shouted,..."

Officially born in 2017 with the release of a first single "Drapeau Rouge", the band actually finds its roots 10 years ago, when Adrien, Edwin, Arthur and Simon met on the benches of Dole (France) schools.

 

From their multiple aborted projects springs the current formation of WTSB in 2015, gathered by chance in the urgency of a concert to ensure. To this anecdotal birth will follow a project fueled since by passion and unshakeable friendship, which will lead

after two singles to a first EP in 2018: "Jungle Urbaine"

 

A molten substance, both elusive and superfluous, WTSB's sound never embarrasses itself with labels, venturing almost randomly in all territories. From rap to world music, from indus to fusion, everything is melted on a modern metal basement, where the seeds were planted 20 years earlier, by Team Nowhere of Family Values Tour.

 

Between disillusioned punk rebellion and full of hope refelctions, the quartet deploys a breathtaking energy, tribal and electronic, that perfectly fits for thelive. Its on stage that WTSB's power is fully revealed, and it is on stage that they will defend their new album "P*rno Future" with the most ardor, waking up once again the metaphorical "sleeping bear" in each of us.
