Band: Helestios

Helestios
“Your Pain Tastes Good”
Released 18th December 2020
Lead Tracks: Black Storm; Return to Baalbek; Sacrifice; Downgraded World


Helestios is a mixed genres metal band formed in Basingstoke, England in early 2020.
Helestios comprise Henrijs Leja (vocals/guitar); Stelios Aggelis (lead guitar); Ian den Boer (drums) and Agnis Aldiņš (bass), hailing from Latvia, Greece and Netherlands but now based around Basingstoke. 

Their sound takes on board both traditional metal riffing and melodic structure as well as more aggressive and atmospheric tones, such as Agnis’ throat singing intro to Sacrifice and the Lebanese prayer intro to Return to Baalbek recorded by Henrijs in 2019 whilst mass protests against the government in the Lebanese city raged around him.

The album is non-compromising yet immediately accessible, from Sacrifice, which reflects humankind’s inability to avoid killing each other, to Black Storm, a churning sea of riffs and tales told in the ancient mythologies of Syria and Egypt to All Attack, a song written in support of the Belorussian people who have spent recent months fighting to overthrow what many see as one of the last tyrannies of Europe.

OVRFWRD - "StarStuff" A diverse sound palette that crosses elements of progressive rock and jazz Instrumental four-piece founded in 2012, OVRFWRD have in "StarStuff" their fourth album. In this new effort, the group from Minneapolis (USA) presents a warm offering through a diverse sound palette that crosses elements of progressive rock and jazz, all in a tender, dreamy and somewhat mysterious fusion that aims for a sense of continuous and forward progression so as never to become stagnant in the same emotions and labels. From spacey atmospheres, elegant piano and flutes evoking folklore to soft-rock guitars unfolding into magnificent, sentimental solos, "StarStuff" is a colorful journey that generates constant comfort and smiles. Such relaxation heard on "StarStuff" has to do with the way guitarist Mark Ilaug has approached the new work. Rather than experiment too much and possibly complicate things, Ilaug has chosen to focus on just one tonality

  Blackened Rose  Rocks Hard with Debut Single 'Ginger Red (Oh, So Bad)'   Get ready to rock with Blackened Rose's debut single 'Ginger Red (Oh, So Bad)' - a 70's and 80's inspired hard rock tune with shredding guitar solos, Hammond keyboards, and infectious vocal hooks. Blackened Rose  is proud to announce the release of their debut single "Ginger Red (Oh, So Bad)" on March 24th, 2023. The band was formed by vocalist Aleksei Iagunkov at the end of 2022/early 2023, and this song was the catalyst that brought the band together. Although the song was originally written by Aleksei, every band member contributed to the arrangements of the tune. Musically, the song takes inspiration from 70's and 80's hard rock, featuring shredy guitar solos, Hammond keyboards, and vocal hooks with some tongue-in-cheek jokes. Vocally, the inspiration was also taken from  Ville Valo  of  HIM . The band is excited about the release of such an upbeat tune and assur
