(news – new single) Swedish metal rockers Banned in G.B.G. release new single ‘High, Higher!’

Swedish metal rock phenomenon Banned in G.B.G. are proud to announce the release of their new 2-track EP ‘High, Higher!’ via Wormholedeath worldwide. The EP features the title track and the song ‘Patient Zero‘.
Starting as a studio project in the fall of 2018, Banned in G.B.G. quickly gained popularity for their fast and loose riffing and for the unique blend of musical backgrounds brought to the band by its members. Their latest album ‘What The Hell Is Going On?’ was released via Wormholedeath worldwide. The band members have been making noise on the underground rock scene of Gothenburg, Sweden for a while, and their music is not a compromise but an ‘uncompromise’ – a fusion of their favorite kicking sounds. Banned in G.B.G.’s line-up includes Paul V. on vocals (Tornado Babies, Not Enough Hate), Zee on bass (On Parole, Smash it up), Joke on guitar (The Nuts, Wreckers), Rat on guitar (Cherokee Death Cats, Ladida), and Tommie on drums (Nissses Nötter, Stillborn).

The band stated:

Hi! Right now we’re busy working on new material for a full-length album. But meanwhile, we’d like to give you some new music! Since it’s a new year and all that…
So, here’s an EP for you with two songs that we recorded during the same session as our debut album (What The Hell Is Going On) but have never previously released.
It made sense to release these two songs as a separate EP rather than trying to cram them into an already stacked and intense album. And we wouldn’t want to let them go wasted now would we? 
So, we’re looking forward to hearing your thoughts about these two tunes and we really hope you like them. 
Where can you go from here? Just Higher and Higher!

(news – new single) Metal band Koitos from Finland released a third single from the upcoming debut album!

Finnish metal newcomer Koitos released a third single ‘Virtaa’ (eng.’Flows’), from the upcoming debut album. Song has more dynamics and it includes crushing riffs but also a delicate clean singing with a mellow piano.

‘The upcoming album deals with loneliness from many different angles. But in this song not in such a traditional way. The narrator of the song hides his mistakes under a hard shell, which emerges as crappy behavior towards others. In the end, people disappear around the narrator and he’s left to lick his wounds in solitude,’ describes the theme of the song by vocalist Matti Hiitti.

Koitos debut album will be released later in Autumn. In addition to the composition and lyrics, the song was recorded and produced entirely by the band itself. The song was mixed and mastered by Rami Nykänen, who has previously worked with bands like One Morning Left and Balance Breach.

(news – festivals) Time To Rock Festival 2023 – don’t forget about them!

They just want to say hi and hope you don’t forget them at TIME TO ROCK FESTIVAL in southern Sweden. They are usually never included in lists of summer festivals and since they are, after all, a kick ass rock festival since 2006, they hope that before this Summer they can be included in the fine room, together with all the other awesome festivals on your lists.

This year, they’ve also stepped up considerably in terms of bands and band budget, and they’re sitting on a completely world-exclusive trilogy with the legendary Tom G Warrior, who will perform over three days with unique gigs with songs of HELLHAMMERCELTIC FROST and TRIPTYKON. Then they have three punk legends in the form of THE TOY DOLLS, MARKY RAMONE and SHAM 69 and of course classic hard rock and heavy metal in the form of SAXON, BLIND GUARDIAN and MICHAEL SCHENKER mixed with party music with D-A-D, ALESTORM and THE HOOTERS and much, much more.

3 Days – 3 scenes + pre-party on July 7 in scenic Knislinge, 130 km from Malmö/Copenhagen, located along the beautiful Helge River
