Sideburn
Stoner/Classic Hard Rock from Stockholm, Sweden
https://www.facebook.com/sideburnswedenfanpage


*BIOGRAPHY
*1997* In the beginning there was Morgan Zocek (guitar player), and Tor Pentèn (Drummer) who met each other in a club in Stockholm. They shared the same musical vision and influences (bluesy hard rock) in bands like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Rainbow, The Cult, and Kyuss among others. They had a bass player who had played with Morgan in his previous band Rooster, so they begun looking for a singer.
The name of the band came up when Morgan read an article in a music magazine where some band was called Flaming Sideburns (or something) Morgan edited the name to Sideburn and grew his sideburns even bigger, and that was it. Sideburn did some gigs in the Stockholm area with different singers..... 

*1998* Due to some personal disagreements, Morgan and Tor werent satisfied, so they placed an ad in some music stores in Stockholm for a new singer. And finally one day they got a call from Jani Kataja..... 
(Morgan) - "I remember talking to Jani for the first time, he had a real gentle talking voice, almost shy, but he said that friends of his had said he sung like a lion. R.J Dio, I Astbury, and G Danzig were among his early influences. So we started to jam together and it sounded great from the very beginning, Jani was really a great singer with a strong soulful voice, but he also was a great bass player so he handled that too after our previous bass player had left the band. "
The first songs they wrote together were 'Today', 'Sideburn' and 'Moongarden' that all ended up on their debut album. They started to play gigs and sending demos to some record companies.

*2000* The band got their recording contract with the Italian label 'Beard of Stars /Vinyl Magic' and recorded the debut album "Trying to burn the sun" in two weeks in the spring of 2001 and it was released late Jan/Feb 2002.
(Morgan) - "During some of our gigs we had meet a guy who played bass and owned a really old Hammond organ, we became friends, and we had thought about adding a fourth member so Jani could concentrate more on his vocals and alternate between bass and guitar on some of the songs. So all of a sudden, we had a new bass / hammond / guitarplayer / singer in Martin Karlsson."

*2003* After over 6 years together SIDEBURN parted ways with drummer Tor Pentèn. They started looking for a new drummer and Morgan approached Fredrik Broqvist, an old friend from school. They begun rehearsals for the demo recording at Xtc productions (that they later signed a managementdeal with as well as a music publishing deal with SPM Music). After Fredriks brilliant playing on the recording and some great times at rehearsals they decided that they should continue together. 

*2005* In the end of june Sideburn started the recording of their new full length album "The newborn sun", at XTC productions studio with Ulf Wahlberg as co-producer. After a long break for the summer hollidays, and some gigs during the summer, they continued the recording of the album during the autumn/winter, and we´re finished early 2006.

*2006* Sideburn are at the moment negotiating with a couple of labels about the release of the new album. So get ready for the "THE NEWBORN SUN" 

*September 06* SIDEBURN have signed a new record deal with BUZZVILLE RECORDS (Belgium) and the new album "THE NEWBORN SUN"" will be released in the beginning of 2007 so stay tuned.

*March 30 2007* The new album have been released worldwide today!! .... Among the gigs we played in 2007 was the Sweden Rock Festival and the "Rock at sea" Cruise onboard the ship Cinderella.

*Jan 30 2008* We have once again entered XTC studios in Stockholm with Ulf Wahlberg as co producer to record our 3:rd Album "The Demons Dance" The album will consist of 9 songs and a intro.
Here are the titles of the new songs:
Doomherren (Intro), Wings of sorrow, Song for hope, Fallen sun, Dyi´n day, Shining, The Demons dance, Rainy days, Hold me in your light and Shapes 

*Okt 09* We are happy to announce that we have been signed to the swedish label TRANSUBSTANS RECORDS and our new album "The Demon Dance" will be released in Apr/May 2010

Eye Of Solitude
Funeral Doom Metal from London, UK.
https://www.facebook.com/eyeofsolitudeband
www.eyeofsolitude.com

*BIOGRAPHY
The Eye Of Solitude is the heart of forests where unsettled spirits dwell, it is the fear within, the carnal ripping of every thought when abandoned in despair, it is nightmare and enlightenment, a fearsome tide that carries the soul and mind onto dark realms of insanity.

The music is inspired by emotional distress, inner pain and a cruel combination of negativity and grief. Dark shapes that terrorize the soul and keep it captive on the altar of suffering, until when not being able to breathe any longer, it finds its end – a supreme escape towards peace and eternal rest.

Eye Of Solitude started off in 2010 as a one man project,releasing this way “The Ghost”, the very first material and album in the same year which has the proud status of being sold out. Soon after,the project was joined by Jeff Barber and Matthew White. In this formula, Eye Of Solitude perform their first few live appearances.

2011 is a year of major changes for the band, once with Indee joining the band on guitars, and the release of the second, self titled material, which brings a slightly different approach to the music and concept.

In 2012, EOS gathers a full line-up,sign with Kaotoxin Records (Fra) and release the second full length album “Sui Caedere”. The album is critically acclaimed and receives extremely positive reviews from some of the biggest publications in the industry. During the same year,the band plays a few shows that win the people’s respect and fidelity and pays homage to the National Association For The Blind from Romania, by releasing a charity EP.

Now, in 2013, Eye Of Solitude takes pride with the release of their third full length “Canto III”, a kick ass line-up, a sick label and an impressive gig CV.

EYE OF SOLITUDE - At The End

Cap De Craniu
Deathcore Grind from Bucharest, Romania
https://www.facebook.com/CapDeCraniuOfficial/

*BIOGRAPHY
Cap De Craniu is a death metal / grindcore / metal band from Bucharest, Romania, formed in spring 2007. 
Shortly after they formed the band, CDC(Cap De Craniu) released "First EP for a Surgery", in April 2007, being credited with defining the Romanian grindcore scene by incorporating elements of hardcore and punk, vocals with severe growls and squeals reflected in horror and social lyrics.
CDC was formed in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, in March 2007 by Calin Raduta and Costin Chioreanu, who were already playing in numerous local bands and projects since the early '90s (H8, Hang Him, Kendo, Crize, Protest Urban, Deviant, Nightpray, My Shadow, Discordless, Subway Night Orchestra, Retribution, Sistem Nervos, etc).
The duo was inspired by horror and gore movies similar to "Evil Dead", mostly creating stories around a fictive character(Laur, the protagonist in all their lyrics), about the human kind in our days and also giving an ironical meaning to the most common social disorders(as they say: "if you want get past evil, smile first!").
The first stable line-up of the group consisted of Calin Raduta on guitar, Costin Chioreanu on bass, Razvan Raduta Penda on drums and Dragos Drunea on vocals. CDC consists of 4 members and, besides music, they have some strong points in music engineering, graphic design and video production. They became a DIY group, self releasing "First EP for a surgery" and performing at many important concerts and festivals along bands like Suffocation, Rotting Christ, or Parkway Drive.
After entering their own studio to record "I'll Kill If I Live", the fifth member Radu Ionascu joined CDC on guitar.
In the summer of 2011, the band faced a period of hardship, with 3 of the members quitting the band.
As a duo group, the two brothers, Calin and Razvan decided to collaborate with Metalfan Records Division and finished producing the debut album, called "I'll Kill If I Live", released during the spring of 2012.
Constantly thinking forward, seeking the best for the future band structure, they chose to recruit Nicolae Paul as the bassist and not one, but two vocalists: Mihai Ionescu and Vicentiu 'Averac' Busuioc, in order to reach the look and the sound of a higher dimension.
With the new Cap de Craniu line up, the guys finished converting the vocal line of the new album fitting both vocalists in all the shows they'll perform, already enthusiastic about the new material they're about to compose in this formula.

*BIOGRAPHY
We're a bunch of guys who come from all walks of life and from opposite corners of the world. Because we love stories so much, one day we decided to mix our experiences into one big culture-melting-pot of human thought and feeling. The result was a global picture of story-telling reflected in a musical style and sound that is in sync with who we are. It's a progressive alloy of crazy things, combining musical genres ranging from jazz to djent, thrash, flamenco, power metal, latin-jazz and funk. We keep an open mind towards new things. You’ll often hear in our music odd compositions and dynamic changes, that increase the dramatism and intensity of the story. With this sound, we hope to emphasize the idea of escapism and metamorphosis.
Story telling does not happen in a vacuum. We simply provide the opportunity, the place, and the time, but you need to join us, and make our story expand!
"Follow the Lead!"

DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER - The Industry

RoadKillSoda 
Stoner Rock from Bucharest, Romania.
https://www.facebook.com/RoadKillSoda
http://roadkillsoda.com/

*BIOGRAPHY:
RoadkillSoda is the reflection of the 70s American hawk, of the dusty Dodge, ragged T-shirts, tattoos, beards, booze, naked chicks and good vibes.

The group started off as a jam session between Mihnea’s guitar and Para’s drums in the winter of 2010-2011, in a cold, dimly-lit room filled with smoke and music blasting through the walls.

And so, the stoner, sludge, psychedelic and rock’n’roll sounds fusion would become RoadkillSoda, a fresh, intense and unconventional project. Vava, Mihnea’s brother form the same mother, promptly took the, often underestimated, role of the bass player, adding a dirty bass sound that does not go unnoticed.

As spontaneous as the entire project, the debut EP "A Fucked Up Trip Gone Bad" pops up, basically live recording from the rehearsal room and was released in 2011, via Asiluum label.

In 2012, Sebi joins Mihnea, Para and Vava in their journey. The band consequently assumes, without compromises, its ideal form and color – a metamorphosis fuelled by the sound, atmosphere and by the people on stage and in front of it. 

In less than a year, the band wrote, recorded and produced the first official album. “Oven Sun” embodies the experiences of a man who wakes up in the middle of nowhere, bound to wonder and to take in both the good and the bad. From mirages and oasis to the burning sun and the endless desert, the album envisages RoadkillSoda’s metaphor of life. The “happy-end” is depicted through sorrow, despair and bleak scenarios carried out with a mask displaying a caddish grin, an attitude that fittingly sums up “Oven Sun” by one line – “F**k’em with a smile”.

**MEMBERS:
- Sebastian Stancu (Spiritual Ravishment) – vox;
- Mihnea Ferezan (Tep Zepi, M-51, The Fuzzenties) – gtrs;
- Victor "Vava" Ferezan (Tep Zepi, The Fuzzenties) – bass;
- Alex "Para" Ghita (Mediocracy, Traum, Environments) – drums.

ROADKILLSODA - Drove away

Founded in September 2013, Junk House “Noisez” is a PR/Management & Booking group from Bucharest, Romania, that aims to work with the most promising prospects of the underground. Those who push the envelope and bring out fresh tunes into their scene are the ones who we’re looking for.

**BANDS: We wish to cooperate with honest hard working and obvious talented bands. In order for us to help your band, we need your entire PRESS or MEDIA KIT! Many times bands just leave a link to their page or a song they have uploaded on youtube or whatever and expect their whole musical world to change for the better over night. It DOESN’T work that way! If you don’t put enough effort into promoting and supporting your band, then no one will or can. The more things you send us, the better our support is. We have no real interest in using your material for our personal needs. So, in order to clear the air: What goes in the Junk House, stays in the Junk House!

**PARTNERSHIPS: It is considered vital to establish as many partnerships as possible, be it webzines, magazines, promo crews or radio stations; in order to strengthen our help towards bands. In return we offer the same amount of support to the factions we partner up with.

Whoever is interested in our support or in developing a partnership can contact us by email or on our facebook page.
