Feast of Corpses

 Today in 2003 Feast of Corpses released the album Sudden Death

Sept-Îles, Quebec, Canada Death Thrash Metal

Status: Active

Years active 2002-Present

Brutal death metal from Canada with drum programming.

At the beginning, the two of us were playing in a band called Erum Furor. In 2001 when the band splitted due to some members moving away, we discussed about forming a project about mass killers.

This first release of 2003 came out to represent the shocking events that happened in the United States of America on septembre 11th 2001. In January 2002, we were both drunk and really pissed off hearing about WTC reported by every kind of media. The project had come out: Our music is timeless compared to the stiffed and quick coverage from the information agencies. So we wrote a song called Falling Towers that night. We have been investing our time in recording a cd called Unexpected Plan in Hate's appartment during summer 2003. Two years after the tragic events, we released the demo on 11/09/2003.

We came out with a new disc in 2007, this time to explore the sickest behaviors of mankind. Nothing could have stopped us from evicting our nastiness. The expression of our work came out from our daily state: A mixture of warm blood with social toxins dilluted. Our goal was to say out loud what most people do not even dare to think. We gave a meaning to all those attrocities in the world, reminding us the insecurity of our world.

Fastway

 Today in 2011 Fastway released the album Eat Dog Eat

London, England Hard rock, heavy metal

Status:Active

Years active 1983-present

Fastway was an hard rock band formed by guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke formerly of Motörhead, and bassist Pete Way formerly of UFO. In 1983 both players had been disgruntled with their own bands and decided to work together in a new outfit. They recruited drummer Jerry Shirley formerly of Humble Pie, and vocalist Dave King and took their name from a combination of the founder-members' names. However, Way then discovered that he could not escape from his contract with Chrysalis Records and also received a tempting offer to play for Ozzy Osbourne, and abandoned the project, forcing Clarke to steer it alone. Bringing in session bassist Mick Feat, the band then recorded debut album FASTWAY.

A critical and moderate commercial success, with successful touring to promote it (with Alfie Angus on bass), the band then recruited Charlie McCracken as "permanent" bassist and released ALL FIRED UP in the following year. Shirley and McCracken subsequently left and there was a hiatus. In 1986 Clarke then reformed the band, retaining King and recruiting with Shane Carroll (2nd guitar), Paul Reid (bass) and Alan Connor (drums) and this lineup released WAITING FOR THE ROAR. In 1987 they collaborated with the movie TRICK OR TREAT and released a soundtrack from it. Unfortunately both film and soundtrack were poorly received. Nonetheless the band persevered, supporting Ozzy Osbourne in 1988. However King then left after the tour and Clarke decided to start again from scratch using vocalist Lea Hart and session men, quickly releasing ON TARGET in the same year.

In 1990 this duo released BAD BAD GIRLS, employing various session musicians including members of Girlschool. It was well-received but widely ignored and sold poorly. After struggling on for another year, in which they released a live album SAY WHAT YOU WILL, Clarke and Hart gave up and the band was defunct. In 1997 however the pair reunited and released a reworked version of ON TARGET, but there was no commercial success.

Vocalist David King is now with Flogging Molly, an Irish inspired punk band.

Athens, Attica,Greece Thrash Metal

Status:Active

Years active: 2001-present

Inspired by bands like Napalm Death, Celtic Frost, and Kreator, Greek thrash metal outfit Suicidal Angels formed in 2001 around the talents of guitarist Nick and bass player Kostas. The band released the demo United by Hate in 2002, followed by the EP Bloodthirsty Humanity in 2004. A four-track single appeared in 2006, paving the way for the group’s first full-length, Eternal Domination. By this time, the band (which now featured original vocalist/guitarist Nick, guitarist Panos, bass player Angel, and drummer Orfeas) had expanded its fan base throughout Europe and had begun making a splash overseas as well. In 2008, the group inked a deal with metal behemoth Nuclear Blast and began recording its 2009 sophomore effort, Sanctify the Darkness. The next three years saw the group take on an ambitious touring regimen, appearing at numerous festivals, including Wacken Open Air, Metalcamp, Sonisphere, and Brutal Assault Open Air. During that period, they released albums three and four, 2010's Dead Again and 2012's Bloodbath, followed by Divide and Conquer in 2014 and Division of Blood in 2016.

Sodom

 Today in 2010 Sodom released the album In War and Pieces

Gelsenkirchen, North Rhine-Westphalia,Black/Speed Metal (early), Thrash Metal (later)

Status:Active

Years active: 1981-present

Sodom are one of a trio of German bands that are acknowledged as pioneers/leaders of the 80's thrash scene in Germany (the other two being Destruction and Kreator), and like those two, continue to perform after more than two decades in the business. In their infancy they had more in common with bands such as Venom and Hellhammer than straight-ahead thrash, with the result being that much of their work is chaotic, frenzied, a bit on the messy side. Despite mixed critical views, the band has continued to maintain a healthy fan base and are still churning out albums. Interestingly, their most recent album, The Final Sign Of Evil, marks a return to the beginning, featuring re-recorded versions of songs from the earliest days, and featuring the original lineup.

Samael

 Today in 2010 Samael released the EP Antigod

Sion, Valais, Switzerland Black Metal (early), Electronic/Industrial Metal (later)

Status:Active

Years active :1987-present

Samael is one of those bands that prefers to follow its own course, rather than latch on to the fashionable style of the day. Their early works are strongly rooted in black metal, but by the time of Ceremony Of Opposites (one of two albums usually regarded as their best), they had forged a dark, almost doomy black metal sound, not terribly complex but haunting and effective. They turned it up a notch with the followup, Passage, with a brighter tone and a slightly increased techno presence. Passage seemed to divide their fan base, many feeling they had lost their way a bit but also many feeling it was by far their best album to date. Though they did record another album after Passage (Eternal, in 1999), the band has kept a rather low profile in recent years, leading some to believe they might have broken up altogether. But in 2004 they re-emerged, with a new album, Reign Of Light, an album which sees the band extending their use of keyboards and electronics, while still retaining the basic dark metal style that is their foundation.

Poison Sun

 Today in 2010 Poison Sun released there debut album Virtual Sin

Hanover, Lower Saxony, Germany Heavy Metal

Status:Active

Years active: 2010-Present

Imagine a merciless rock riff, blazing hook, mixed up with one (female´s) voice that could even melt the coldest iceberg: when the hot new band POISON SUN dives into „VooDoo“ on their vigorous debut feature `Virtual Sin´, it only takes a few seconds for bedlam to break loose! This new band dishes out Metal, the way since this musical divinity was created - with no thrills, but yet, irresistible. You don´t have to be a prophet or have any clairvoyancy(ESP) to predict an overwhelming entrance onto the world stage, for this band!

Don´t be surprised by POISON SUN´s lead singer. Martina Frank´s voice, with its rough, low-key and melodic singing will fester your ears, the way you like it. Martina Frank is THE rock and roll diva prototype, the kind we haven´t heard much of lately and is certainly one of a kind even on the international level. Her very bones are wrapped tup in Rock, Blues and Metal, but listen in to her sensitivity, when she delves into the sensible tunes that grabs, displays her expressions. Martina Frank has worked in sound studios and has earned praise as a back up singer for bands like UFO, Jane and Weinhold. Now the time is ripe for her own new band, teamed up with Hermann Frank.

POISON SUN is a Hannover based band that enriches the german metal scene with their own let-loose and vital versions of traditional power metal. The brains, producer and (along with Martina) songwriter of „Virtual Sin“, is Herman Frank, a well established professional for profound riffing and virtuosic solo styles. The duo Frank/Frank as the driving catalyst can create songs for POISON SUN divined to become simplistic Groove-Monsters. Especially noted should be the energetic sound that Herman Frank´s „Arena 20“ studio has waived it´s magic hand over.

By their side are the notable bassist Stefan Hammer and drummer Florian Schönweitz which round out the band POISON SUN. Both of which were previously active in the Munich Metal band, SILENT DECAY. Both take on the task of capturing the ten songs with the essential groove. A case, that the rhythmic duo conquer and excel the occasion.

You will praise them, when their songs, dripping with brute force, blast through your speakers. Wether it´s the headbanger tunes like „Rednex“ or „Rider in the storm“, or foot-stompin´ marches like „Hitman“ and „Virtual Sin“ or the poetic hymns a la „Princess“ and “For Ever“, or even the breath-taking rendition of the Pointer Sister´s classic „Excited“: POISON SUN will grab your wicked metal soul, which ever direction they´ll lead you. Perhaps we should shout it from the rooftops, this band with their undeniable debut album will be the album that the world will be bowing down to, within the next few months. Will we be worthy of this jewel dawned upon the metal world? We are worthy…

Metal Inquisitor

 Today in 2010 Metal Inquisitor released the album Unconditional Absolution

Koblenz, Rhineland-Palatinate,Germany Heavy Metal

Status:Active

Years active: 1998-present

Metal Inquisitor originated in the beginning of 1998, as Blumi and Witchhammer decided, to call a real Heavy Metal-Band into life. A short time later they found KronoS (Bass) and El Rojo at the vocal cords, as suitable comrade-in-arms. Middle of 1998 they retreated for a few weekends into their rehearsal room, in order to record three songs on four tracks, which was brought out in form of a demo tape. In 1999 they went to the nostalgic eight-track-studio "Overhead Project" of Joerg "Walli" Walldorf in Koblenz (Germany), in order to record two songs for a single, which in March 2000 under the title "Seven Inches for the Second Attack" has appeared. With the new member T.P., at the second guitar, they have already prepared for a powerful live-sound. At the beginning of March 2000 Witchhammer left the band due to time problems and they found the right successor in Havoc at the drums. In August 2000 a new Demo-Tape was recorded with the same old Four-Track-Equipment as the first Demo was made. After the good resonance's about all Releases Metal Inquisitor took the chance to get a record deal with Iron Glory-Label and released in June 2002 their first full-length Album called "The Apparition". The Reviews of the Album were from "good" to "great", so as the resonance's about the concerts from the following "The Apparition-Tour 2002/2003" through Germany and the adjoining countries too. After their last concert in August 2003 they went back into the rehearsalroom to begin the songwriting for the next album. The Concerts and Festivals in 2004 were absolute fantastic also. They've played among others at the "legendary" Festivals from Rock Hard and Keep It True. After finding a new Label, Hellion Records, Metal Inquisitor released their latest album "Doomsday for the Heretic" in november 2005.
