ANTHEM

Heavy Metal From Japan

 

Four years after the world-wide released and critically acclaimed album “Nucleus” in 2019 (a re-recording of their classic hits with English lyrics), leading Japanese Heavy Metal band, ANTHEM have used the pandemic downtime wisely and are now ready to unleash their brand new studio album called “Crimson & Jet Black”. All songs are once again performed in English, and the album will see a global release.

After finishing not one, but two anniversary tours in 2021 (= the band’s 35th anniversary tour, which had been postponed due to the pandemic restrictions, as well the 20th anniversary of their reunion tour entitled “ANTHEM vs ANTHEM 2001”), ANTHEM pursued this new album to jumpstart their next chapter. Originally scheduled to be completed in the Spring of 2022, the band’s leader Naoto Shibata, being the perfectionist that he is, decided to enrich the songs’ quality even more and pushed back the recording schedule to Summer / Autumn, so that pure brilliance may unfold. Just like on past albums, Naoto is the main producer of the album, but this time renowned Swedish producer Jens Bogren, (known for his work with the likes of Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, Dimmu Borgir and Opeth, to name but a few) who had previously mixed and mastered “Nucleus”, is credited as a co-producer.

Topping each of their past works has been ANTHEM’s goal for the 21st century, and they’ve outdone themselves yet again with this album! “Crimson & Jet Black” is unmistakably “ANTHEM”, yet it sounds fresh at the same time. The band has proven yet again that they are one of the world’s most competitive Heavy Metal bands, and a force to be reckoned with. Don’t miss their new chapter that has only just begun!!!

MAJESTY

MAJESTY

MAJESTY

 

It’s been quiet around the metal heroes of MAJESTY for more than 3 years. After the band only wanted to take a one-year break after their Legends Tour at the end of 2019 to recharge their batteries, they, like the rest of the world, were pushed into a much longer hiatus by the pandemic.

But the guys used this time extensively and worked on an album that perfectly combines all the things that the band stands for: Catchy, big heavy metal anthems that catch you the first time you hear them and let you put your fist in the air paired with lyrics about the eternal fight for freedom and your way to live.

“Back To Attack” is an album that lives up to its title. A pounding production with 11 songs and an intro that literally beg to be performed on the big heavy metal stages of the world.

VOODOO KISS

The Roots of Summer Breeze

 

Founded in 1995 in the Ostalbkreis district of southern Germany, VOODOO KISS quickly made a name for themselves in their homeland and became a local cult band. After several line-up changes, VOODOO KISS were buried in 2000. As part of the 25th anniversary of the SUMMER BREEZE Open Air, VOODOO KISS have now reunited as the former initial spark and headliner of the first edition of the festival and will play their official reunion show in Dinkelsbühl in August 2022. Three members of the original line-up will be taking part: Martin Beuther (guitar), Klaus Wieland (bass) and Achim Ostertag (drums). VOODOO KISS have brought in Gerrit Mutz (Sacred Steel, Dawn Of Winter) as vocalist, a well-known original from the German metal scene. For their debut, which will be released during SUMMER BREEZE 2022, a committed label was found right away with Reaper Entertainment. 

A storm is brewing in the VOODOO KISS camp.

Welcome back!!

ROBSE

Epic Pagan Metal

 

The long-time frontman and party guarantor of the epic metal band Equilibrium is back with a new band and a truly powerful firework display of energy and bombastic songs. Behind the Brandenburg giant, Robert-Martin Dahn, better known as Robse, lies not only his new band of the same name, but also a huge vision.
The band “ROBSE” released their debut album in August 2024: „Harlekin und Krieger“ (engl. “Harlequin and Warrior”) marks the group’s first own album and at the same time the impressive milestone as Robse’s 30th work in his discography.

When choosing his companions for “ROBSE”, the same careful selection process was applied as when deciding on his record company Reaper Entertainment – only the best and most loyal in the scene were considered: the line-up includes guitar pros Dennis “Blaze” Baron and Oliver Hey from Final Depravity, the hurricane-fast drummer Marius Berendsen from Mallev’s Maleficarvm, and the mean bass of Marco Paulzen from ONCE as well as Alina Lesnik, who completes the band with keyboards and her powerful voice.
