Dethlehem... a band of warriors on a quest to achieve maximum XP and deliver face-melting metal. When their home realm, Ghorusalem (Pittsburgh, PA), fell to an ancient evil, the group of heroes rose together to do battle under the cursed sky! Influenced by melodic metal, progressive rock, maidens in distress, epic solos, RPGs, delicious ale, and supple bosoms.
The legend of DETHLEHEM began in the realm of GHORUSALEM many eons ago. During their journey, the warriors of DETHLEHEM have traveled through time and space to do battle against dragons, wizards, warlocks, leviathans, shape-shifters, and a shit ton of other things that needed to DIE.
Through their efforts, the party has leveled up considerably, obtaining epic and legendary loot along the way.
MEMBERS:
BRUTALITUS THE BLOODBEARD LVL-30 (War Cry)
Brutalitus hails from a Dethlehem of another time...before the first cataclysm. Born into royalty, he was once a honorable protector of the land alongside his brother Sulumor. An ancient evil was accidentally unleashed by his brother and covered the world in darkness, also cursing his left eye which is referred to as the "Eye of the Abyss".
HILDOR ANDUV LVL-29 (Axe)
Hildor is a highly skilled thief and assassin -- though you would never know because he begs for gold coins and lives life like a homeless person during the Great Depression. He claims that it is all part of his cover and helps him stick to the shadows... but, the party suspects he just actually likes being a bum.
BOVICE LVL-32 (Lead Axe)
A virtuous White Knight who holds a strong bond to the good spirited, yet holds no remorse in his ferocity. Bovice has an unprecedented power to reach Insanity LVL-10 if his Intimidation check is high enough. However, even without a modifier, Bovice's Pretentiousness is MAX LEVEL.
OVERLORD BROM LVL-?? (War Drums)
Brom is a very powerful brute knight who never takes his helmet off and is always prepared for battle. Rumor has it that he slipped out of his mother's womb with ease when the midwives greased his helmet with old butter. Today, Brom enjoys the three Bs of life -- beer, boobs, and battle!
GRIMSHAW LONGFELLOW LVL - 27 (Bass Bow)
After killing his mother during childbirth, Longfellow's father banished him to the woods to be raised by the Rat Lord and his rodent followers. Over time, the rodents grew irritated by Longfellow's insanely annoying voice, and kicked him out of the woods... leaving him to wander the realm alone. When encountering Longfellow, you may notice his large... bow... but alas, any chance of a female's loving caress is quickly negated when Longfellow opens his big, dumb mouth and speaks.

Ghost is the name of a devil worshipping ministry, that in order to spread its unholy gospels and, furthermore, trick mankind into believing the end is ultimately a good thing, have decided to use the ever so popular rock music medium as a way to achieve their ends. Standing motionless and anonymous beneath the painted faces, hoods and robes which their sect demand, the six nameless ghouls of Ghost deliver litanies of sexually pulsating heavy rock music and romantic lyrics, which glorify and glamorise the disgusting and sacrilegious, with the simple intention to communicate a message of pure evil via the most effective device they can find: Entertainment. This is Black Metal at it’s most original and deceiving; compositions such as “Ritual” and “Death Knell” majestically weave their melodic spell of evil through the senses until the listener finds themselves utterly possessed and open to any diabolical suggestion. In May 2010 Ghost were contracted to a UK based gramophone company called Rise Above Ltd, who swore an oath stating that they will assist the group in the task of spreading their musical blasphemies through formats such as Compact Discs, Long Playing Vinyl Records and Digital Downloading. The first full-length Ghost album ‘Opus Eponymous’, a daringly beautiful combination of satanic rock music with an almost unthinkable pop sensibility, is to be released on 18th October 2010. It is understood and agreed that Rise Above Ltd will invest heavily in areas such as magazine advertising and retail marketing and employ the services of music publicity specialists in order to expose the music of Ghost to the wider public. Specific attention will be paid to targeting people (research suggests these are most likely to be adolescents) who have a void in their life, perhaps caused by some form of emotional trauma or upset, that can be filled by the music and philosophies of Ghost. In time, these easily manipulated children will come to share the views and goals of the Ghost ministry and can prepare their own plans for the downfall of humanity....

BURIED REALM - "Through These Darkened Halls" Featuring Christopher Amott taken from the debut EP 'The Ichor Carcinoma' -- available winter 2016.
The band was formed in 2007, when Becky Rossi, Melissa Milani and Stefano Centineo crossed their paths. Their will to play music and common passions flow into the foundation of today’s Furor Gallico.
In 2009, after playing small clubs of the area of Milan, the”Gauls” decided to record their first demo, “390 b.C. – The Glorious Dawn” with the following line-up: Davide Cicalese (vocals), Stefano Centineo & Luca Rossi (guitars), Maurizio Cardullo (bass guitar, tin & low whistles and bouzouki), Laura Brancorsini (violin), Becky, (Celtic harp) and Marco Boyer (drums).
Another year passed, full of live shows outside the area of Milan and Lombardy too. Mac (bass guitar) and Simone (drums) joined the band, which then started to record the first self-titled full length, featuring 13 tracks, of which some are acoustic.
The songs showed a clear extreme attitude, adding a Celtic atmosphere to a death/black metal sound, thanks to extreme guitar riffs by Luca and Stefano and to Davide’s eclectic vocals.
The band started to play some important festivals, in Italy and abroad, such as the Swiss Fiesta Pagana, where they shared the stage with some major acts like Stratovarius, Exploited, Crucified Barbara, Carburators and many more.
In the summer 2010 the first album, self-produced and self-distributed, was finally out, and sold 500 copies in 2 months only, starting off an intensive tour again in Italy and abroad.
In the same year, after being asked by Eluvetie to open their show at the Fri-Son in Fribourgh (Switzerland), the band met Oliver Macchi, manager of the Swiss act, with whom they started a professional collaboration, ended in the agreement with the German Massacre Records.
In 2011 the debut album was reissued and distributed all over the world, getting extremely positive reviews and being sold in thousands of copies not only in Europe, but also in the US, in Japan, in Australia, just to mention a few countries.
Again, the band started another intensive tour, playing numerous Italian folk metal festivals, sharing the stage with Moonsorrow and Arkona at the Fosch Fest, and headlining the Montelago Celtic Fest in front of 6,000 people.
For other 3 years the band kept on playing live shows, while concentrating on the second full length, after a change in the line-up , having now Fabio Gatto at the bass guitar and Paolo Cattaneo as multi-instrumentalist. The recording sessions took place at the Metropolis Studio in Milan and the Wardencliff Studio in the near town of Bovisio Masciago. The album was mixed at the Alpha Omega Studio in Blevio (near Como) by Alex Azzali (Ancients), featuring Federico Paulovich (Destrage – drums), Luca Verioli (Diabula Rasa – bagpipe on “Nemain’s Breath and “La Notte dei Cento Fuochi”), Simon Papa (MaterDea – female vocals on “To the End”) and Furor Gallico’s friend Sergio Colleoni (member of the Fosch Fest staff) who helped directing the choirs on “La Notte dei Cento Fuochi” and “Song of the Earth”.
After the recording session the band changed again, featuring now: Davide Cicalese, Luca Rossi, Becky Rossi, Fabio Gatto, Paolo Cattaneo, Mattia Pavanello (guitar), Riccardo Brumat (violin) and Mirko Fustinoni (drums). In 2013 they signed an agreement with Bagana Rock Agency, with whom they organized the “Tour di Mezzo”, playing all over Italy with the sound engineer Michele Boccalone (Lacuna Coil, Marta sui Tubi).
Once finished the album finished, Fabio left the band, replaced by Marco Ballabio, who has now the opportunity to take part to the tour to support “Songs from the Earth”, the kick-off gig being at the Cernunnos Festival in Paris, the first time in France for them.
The band was formed upon the idea of playing new school Italian folk metal. They have released only one demo album and two full length album so far. Pagan was later added for vocals and Marco played the drums. Furor Gallico have songs in both English and in Italian, the band members take alternating roles in who writes the lyrics and composes the music in either language. The song Curmisagios was even written in dialetto brianzolo, an Italian dialect spoken in western Lombardy, more specifically in the area of Brianza.
Formed in 2008, Orpheus Omega is a 5 piece Melodic Death Metal band from Melbourne, Australia. Their formative sound was based on the early Gothenburg melodic death metal movement but has evolved over the years into a truly unique entity within and outside the Melodic Death Metal genre. Since the release of 2013's acclaimed 'ResIllusion', ORPHEUS OMEGA have cemented themselves as one of Melodic Death Metal's most promising newcomers. After a slew of national support slots with Dark Tranquillity, Children Of Bodom, Korpiklaani, Eluveitie and more, followed by a 2 week headlining tour of Asia, the band are now unleashed their 3rd album, 'Partum Vita Mortem', a concept album exploring the human condition through Birth, Life and Death across an hour of unrelenting musicianship. Featuring aggressive and melodic guitar work, intricate and powerful drumming, chaotic keyboard work and a varied array of vocal stylings, the album is sure to become a staple in modern Melodic Death Metal.

Existence is cyclical. Partum Vita Mortem explores all the aspects that make us who we are, from our earliest beginnings to the very end of our journeys. Partum (Birth), Vita (Life) and Mortem (Death). These three distinct but interweaved aspects of existence are portrayed both musically and lyrically across 13 tracks that bring this concept to life. In an era where we often forget to experience and reflect on every moment we have, this album brings to the fore the struggles we all must face on our own journey.

Bleed The Way (Full-Length Album - 2011)
‘Bleed The Way’, the highly anticipated debut album for the band. 10 tracks representing the bands ‘coming into their own’ sound. The culmination of 2 years writing and recording, featuring guests such as Vile Viljanen of Mors Principium Est and Steve Janevski and Hanny Mohammed of Black Majesty.
The start of Rudras of either form is uncertain. As an idea emerged in mid-2010 and started as a project to set foot in 2011 as such Findecáno hand Tasartir (Guitar) and Jorge Daniel Velasquez (Bass).
The concept of the band, both musical and philosophical matter is based on the general teachings of Buddhism. Rudras worn as a purely Buddhist banner message which addresses issues such as self improvement over every barrier that the ego, pride and false perceptions created. In turn addresses complicated issues as the approach of emptiness and the course of what is rooted in suffering as a result of impermanence life.
Rudras Buddhism raises to a level that can be understood. It not intended to preach or force anyone to follow the path of "Dharma", if not the opposite. He claims that, with your message, the listener work with what you have and what you believe, because essentially it is the goal of every sentient beings who inhabit this world: Finding Peace and Happiness.
Musically, Rudras addressed the genre Metal and via Dharma transmission, specifically the genre of Melodic Death with influences from bands like Into Eternity, Dark Tranquility, At The Gates, Scar Symmetry, among others.
In addition, Rudras used in the musical concept, ethnic instruments from Asia, specifically in the regions where Buddhism has flourished and ingrained as part of their culture (Japan, China, India, Mongolia), completing itself to noise level. Rudra is a death metal band with Asian Folklore Experimental.
The band welts are fairly simple but with enough weight. On a spiritual level, bring the Dharma and Buddhist teaching to every corner that will make it possible within what is human and share what can not be expressed in words or letters. It is the essence of Buddhist teaching, is the essence of human education for the band and for those who are listening with full attention.
A musical level, the main objective is to make a footprint large enough to boost national and Latin American Rock Rock turn to bring everything in our power to move the whole formed by the public, bands, producers , resource people, people of no resources, giving strength to unify a move which we can all feel proud.
