Melodic metal band HOK-KEY drop new lyric video – ‘Les Ailes’!

“Les Ailes” is a track taken from HOK-KEY’s album “In Existence”, out via Wormholedeath worldwide.

War Related Statement

Hok-key does not support Russian aggression and is strongly against this war. We see that Ukrainian cities and civil objects are being bombed – this is a war crime. We see that the territory of Belarus is used for these attacks, but Belarusian people do not want this war. We urge everyone to stop this madness. We stand with Ukraine.

Hok-Key Biography
Hok-key was created in 1994, November 7 as Comedy metal band. During 1994 – 1997 band has played series of concerts in Minsk and other cities of Belarus. In 1998 the band took a time out.
A year later Hok-key started to work on a new material. Over the 2000 – 2002 period Hok-key played about twenty concerts in Belarus and abroad, took part in numerous festivals, radio and TV talk shows.
In 2003 – 2004 the band was in the amorphous state and took a second timeout.
In August 2005 Hok-key was re-animated as melodic metal band.
Hok-key is vivid representative of the Belarusian metal scene who has taken the path from comedy metaldirectly to its present form – philosophical texts and constant musical and sound experiments, and could be described as melodic metal with folk influences.The band is broadcasted on radio stations, actively participates in various festivals and concerts both at home and abroad. In 2015 band was on a road during «Thunder and Lightning European Tour». In 2017 – 2018 during “Reaping Europe Tour” band has visited almost all countries of Europe from Poland to Portugal.
Hok-key already has 5 LP in its discography, so “In Existence” will be the sixth one.

Danish metal band STEELBOURNE sign with Wormholedeath for the reissue of ‘A Tale As Old As Time’!

Danish Metal Band STEELBOURNE have signed with Wormholedeath a licensing deal for the reissue of their album “A Tale As Old As Time”, due for re-release on April 29th, 2022 worldwide.

Steelbourne stated, “We are beyond excited to initiate a joint adventure with WHD and look forward to introducing the world to our classic heavy metal, with a contemporary twist. We are confident that the WHD team consists of rock stars who can help us take the Steelbourne name to the next level. A Tale as Old as Time was written and recorded at home, first and foremost for us (the band), but with the reception we have received so far, we simply have to share it with more people. Carlo and the team have our complete trust in this endeavor.”

“A Tale As Old As Time”
The album itself is classic metal at its best, inspired by giants such as Maiden, Priest, Helloween, Accept, Primal Fear, Candlemass and many more.
We do, however, trust that you can hear the originality in the 7 tracks, which all tell their own unique story – thematically poking at religious events throughout history. We are extremely proud of this album and are excited for the future together with WHD.

With several releases and a plethora of gigs to their name from previous constellations, Steelbourne set out to conquer new land for danish metal and prove that the new generation still writes classics!

Steelbourne was initially a lockdown studio-project, designed to finish unreleased material by their previous band. As the writing escalated, the foundation for “A tale as old as time” was built – and a single spark reignited inferno. Steelbourne honor the legends of old, being deeply inspired by giants such as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Candlemass and Accept while incorporating contemporary elements into their music, aiming to provide a modern take on classic heavy metal.
Having played large venues both domestically and internationally, the band is no stranger to touring life either, looking forward to getting back on the road.

Steelbourne are:
Jacob Vestergaard Druedahl Bruun – Guitars
Troels Rasmussen – Lead Vocals
Benjamin Andreassen – Bass-guitar, Backing vocals
Simon Klem Kannegaard – Guitars
Simon Sorsback – Drums & Backing vocals

Band statement

This new album “Test of time” captures our idea of melodic groove heavy metal music. The 10 songs portraits the evolution of the band which is displayed throughout the entire record. This is what we can truly define in our 5th album which has very strong melodic vocals, power groove riffs and catchy choruses. Our songs are like most well-known stories they evolve over time. We know sound is the universal language & our music sets the mood for the story.
