Musician/Producer/Engineer from Yorkshire, England. 

A dark, melodic death metal band from Melbourne, Be’lakor has quickly come to be regarded as one of Australia’s most promising and creative metal acts. The band’s international reputation has grown rapidly since the release of their 2007 debut, “The Frail Tide,” its 2009 follow-up, “Stone’s Reach” and "Of Breath and Bone", which is set for worldwide release on 1 June 2012. Drawing inspiration from the perpetual struggle between destruction and life, Be’lakor creates songs that take the listener on a compelling journey.




Born on the storm-battered industrial-wasteland of Lake Erie’s shores, Cleveland metal titans Deadiron find themselves on the precipice of change. Since their inception in 2010, the five-piece endured struggles that would have broken many. Dire economic conditions, line-up changes, and a political climate rife with tension have torn apart many a band, but those elements only forged members Alexander Van Ness, Tyler Harvey, John Bennett, Thomas Walling, and Kenny Streza into a unit bound and determined for musical domination. Those caustic ingredients, married with the varied music influences and shared discipline of the quintet, have given birth to Deadiron’s signature sound: a thunderous blend of hope and ferocity as melodic as it is pummeling. Charging down a path the likes of which only they can tread, Deadiron stands poised to lay siege to the music scene wherever their banner will sail.
