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.

“Fragments of Memories” is a track taken from Heterogeneous Andead upcoming album “Chaotic Fragments” due for release on April 8th via Wormholedeath worldwide.HETEROGENEOUS ANDEAD is a Melodic & Symphonic Electro Death/Thrash metal band in Tokyo, Japan. The sound is based on Thrash metal with Progressive metal, added the Electronic & Symphonic sounds, and all of them is sung by Mezzo-soprano & female growl voices.
We’ve released one EP & album so far, so this album will be our third release.
We don’t change the concept and aimed to further improve the level while making it understandable as Heterogeneous Andead music immediately after listening. There are songs with more progressive elements in this album, and we also take on new challenges such as triple time.
It also features more guitar harmonies and the synthesizer’s sound is more emphasized than before. The performance of each part is also more energetic. This album has only 8 songs, but I think that all the songs are good quallity to be the lead track of the album. In this album Yusuke Kiyama worked on mixing / mastering, so all the sounds are our ideals.
HETEROGENEOUS ANDEAD are
Haruka: Vocals (Mezzo-soprano & Growl voice)
Yusuke Kiyama: Guitar, Synthesizer, Programming
Tomoyuki Nakano: Drums

French progressive death-metal Wrath Of The Nebula unveiled new music video for D.N.A of the GODS!

Leave a comment

“Whoever forgets the past cannot understand the future”

About 3 years and a half after the birth of the band, Progressive Death-Metal 4 piece Wrath Of The Nebula is about to release its debut full-length album called ‘The Ruthless Leviathan’ and planned for a worldwide release on April 1st through M & O Music.

In the meantime, the band offered a glance from this forthcoming records and the official music video of the song “D.N.A of the Gods” available right now on YouTube

WRATH OF THE NEBULA is a PROGRESSIVE DEATH METAL band formed in 2018 by Hokuto No Dov and Vital Geff, having previously collaborated in several musical and artistic projects.

In 2019, joined by Kevin Paradis, phenomenal drummer, the music developed by the duo takes shape and the recording sessions of the pre-productions begin and reveals from that time on, the artistic direction chosen to set the themes of the songs.

The recurring themes of the group’s compositions are linked to the presentation of legitimate questions of humanity on its deep origins and the plausible links between humanity and higher extraterrestrial entities, which could have been present on our planet, long before the development of our first civilizations.

In this sense, the arrival in the group of Déhà, to keyboards and orchestrations, will add an epic and classic color, to the brutal and progressive compositions of the group.
Thus the death metal power of the group regularly rubs shoulders with the search for melodies, which are dear to them, in order to favor the listener’s immersion within a completely “stellar” concept album.

In any case, this is the ambition presented by WRATH OF THE NEBULA which in 2021, enters the VAMACARA STUDIOS to produce its 12-track album, under the leadership of the excellent HK KRAUSS, which will breathe power and clarity into the compositions of this first album soberly named ‘The Ruthless Leviathan’.
