Tantal [Rus]

Emotional distress - Demo 2007

TANTAL was formed in 2004. Founders of collective are Dmitry Ignatyev (guitar), Alexander Bessilin (guitar, vocal), Michael Krivulec (bass), Vyacheslav Gurovoy (drums). The band gave the series of successful concerts in Moscow and Moscow region. In 2005, talented singer Sofiya Raykova, has joined the band. Her voice has become essential part of the band's music. At the beginning of 2007 the band recorded promo-cd “Emotional Distress”. Music on this album is a mix of melodic and aggressive Death Metal with progressive elements, and of course there is an excellent female growl sometimes changed by clean voice. After that for the personal reasons Alexander Bessilin left the band. Now, Alexander Strlnikov (from the band Stentorian Voice) takes up a place of the second guitarist. The new material is actively being prepared for a coming conceptual album.

Heroes of Switzerland [UK]

Disposable Fiction - 2005 Music To Blend To


Veering between rock riffs and the layered sounds of shoegazing, but always with melody in mind, Heroes of Switzerland are constantly searching for the moment when the sheer intensity and beauty of the sound replaces reality.Frustration, energy and anger mix with melancholy, tenderness and yearning. There’s no easy way of being. Sometimes music is the only escape and Heroes of Switzerland are your ticket out of here.Come in from the cold, leave the dying and the old to crave for company.Run into the wild and free.
