ALTERNATIVE ROCK FROM FINLAND

Moon Shot plays true 21st century rock’n’roll. So even at the threat of cliche we’re gonna say it like it is: this is genuine rock music from the heart built on all the melodic loudness we grew up with. Yes, it’s about the music, for real.

And this quartet is the right band to bring this honest-to-rock blast of music. These are no fresh-from-the-bud boys – they’ve already had careers hefty enough to define a person with the bands Children of Bodom, Disco Ensemble and Lapko.

Moon Shot’s second album is preceded with the single Yes!. It rushes at you with a chorus that embraces so tight that it’s hard to see if it’s loving or strangling you (or a bit of both). As chief composer, guitarist and producer Jussi Ylikoski says: “The song appears easygoing at first but when you look at it closer, you see that it’s special both musically and lyrically.”

 “People may also hear the chorus as something overly positive – and that’s fine – but I see it as a fight song. There’s a lot of things that aren’t ok in the world and YES we can do something about it,” vocalist and lyricist Ville Malja adds.

In a sense, this song captures the essence of Moon Shot’s different sides: positive aggression with a vulnerable message that you wanna join in with. Time to let this band into your life with a blast aimed right for the heart.

German Melodic Death Metal

PARASITE INC. were founded 2007 in the German Metal hot spot Aalen and became well-known pretty quickly. Their 2010 demo “Parasite Inc.“ already found a lot of fans within the worldwide Melodic Death Metal community. Since their debut album “Time Tears Down“ at latest, the Southern German band was predicted a great future. They received lots of positive feedback from the scene press as well as from dozens of headbangers in front of every stage PARASITE INC. played on. If on festivals or tours, at home or in foreign countries: The quartet reached every single audience and their fame grew. The reason why: PARASITE INC. developed their own sound right from the beginning while keeping their own trademarks. But not everything went well: line-up changes and the closing of their label followed, and so it became quiet around the band. Viewed from the outside, it looked like PARASITE INC. had disappeared as one of the highly praised talents within the depths of the scene.

But we were wrong! The Germans have been more active than ever, developing their sound continuously and were working intensely on new stuff in the background. In the mid of 2017, the band entered their own studio to record the long-awaited new album which is worth the waiting: eleven tracks unite into the mighty “Dead and Alive“. The band continues to offer powerful Melodic Death Metal – sometimes gloomy and atmospheric, sometimes straight into your face. But that’s not enough, so the band added several new elements like Punk, Thrash and 80’s Synth Rock, thus adding a lot of facets, creating a varied and exciting album that now arises. As with “Time Tears Down” the band had the complete control over the production.

Guitarist and singer Kai comments: It was definitely important for us to have a harmonious overall concept that satisfied us, from the artwork to the mix, while giving me a lot of time for the songwriting and above all for the lyrics. Our drummer Benni again did a fantastic job for the artwork and the mix.”

This time the mastering was done by the talented hands of Pitchback Studios mastermind Aljoscha Sieg who already gave the final touch to bands like August Burns Red, Nasty and Eskimo Callboy.

“Dead and Alive” is strongly influenced by their own fans, who significantly supported the new PARASITE INC. album through a crowdfunding campaign. It was released on August 17th via Reaper Entertainment.
