MÖRGLBL
- Fusion - Annecy - FR
Mörglbl
obtained an international recognition with their 2 first releases "Ze
Mörglbl Trio !!" (1998) & "Bienvenue à Mörglbl Land" (1999).
After
a
break, Mörglbl returned with a new album "Grötesk" released on the
american label Laser's Edge for a world-wide distribution in 2007.
In
2008 Laser's Edge released a compilation of the 2 first records called
"Toon tunes from the past".
On
stage, the band is nearly a telepathic connection, playing through the
powerful metal and the finest jazz with an omnipresent groove and
humour (their trademark).
The band is often compared to Primus
meeting Steve Vai and Alan Holdsworth, under the friendly eye of Franck
Zappa...
In 2009 MÖRGLBL will present the 4th studio album under
Laser's Edge titled "Jazz for the Deaf".

X-Vision - Metal - Metz - FRSince
1998,
X-VISION's music hasn't stopped progressing & maturing,
mixing death, hardcore, trash, a fraction of grind and many other
ingredients from every other type of music they listen to, they created
a unique, powerful and intense metal played with flawless precision and
extreme sincerity.
X-Vision's have played many gigs in
France and Europe with bands such as ANTHRAX, PRONG, GOJIRA, and in
festivals like the Furyfest (w/ SLAYER, MOTORHEAD, MEGADETH), The
Eurockeennes de Belfort (w/ SLIPKNOT, KORN, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN),
the Dour Festival (Belgium, w/ WALLS OF JERICHO, OOMPH!).
'So
Close, So Far', is an album that is organic, warmer sounding and with
lyrics (dealing with topics such as pollution, animal massacre, loss of
humanity…) that house a clear political undertow, and from this the
press and X-Visions fans recognize they've never been so emotionally
involved in what they are writing and playing.
X-Vision
have had great great reviews from Major European magazines such as
Rocksound,Rockone,Hard and Heavy (France), and major
fanzine-webzines...who all agreed that this album was about to be a
huge piece in the band’s career. And they were right! A massive
European tour to support the realease, including several support slots
for long-time famous acts such as SEPULTURA and MINISTRY.

Crackmind - Heavy Rock -
Lille - FRBorn
in 2000, after 8 years of existence, 3 demos and several line-up
changes, Crackmind releases “Call MIND-1-1” in april 2007.
This
8-tracks Power-Rock album is a big step forward. In 2006, the addition
of Lloxan (lead guitars) brings another strong brick in the wall of
guitars while Lumber Jack’s drumming approach makes the rhythm section
sound stronger. As for all its recordings, Crackmind used the “Do It
Yourself” way to produce the record, with Alcatraz (guitars) taking the
audio production duty and Normann (vocals) the graphic one.
“Call
MIND-1-1” reveals a powerful , dynamic, melodic and always catchy music
with deep sound, tight riffing and leads, intense rhythm and a strong
and emotionnal voice. From the 70’s to Hard-Rock, from Grunge to Metal,
Crackmind merges all the rock energies to develop its own style:
Power-Rock.
With
the first 1000 units, the record meets an enthusiastic response and
draws increasing attention for the band from the audiences and the
professionnals. The album is quickly distributed by several detailers
in France, by the european heavy-music label Brennus-Music, and is
digitally available on many virtual shops thanks to Wild
Palm Music
(Virgin, Fnac…).
By the end of 2007, after 8 months of stage-presence
and pure-rock energy spread, “Call MIND-1-1” is sold out.
1000
more units are released in the beginning of 2008 and the projects get
bigger. The band plays South-America (Ecuador) in february on an
incredible festival in front of an 8000-people-energetic crowd.
Crackmind is also confirmed to play the famous “Fête de l’Humanité” in
Paris in September. When the band is not on stage, it’s working on the
writing of his next efforts.
Since May, it’s now with Max on bass
that Crackmind continues to develop its sound. In september 2008, the
band releases its new Ep, a direct “straight-in-your-face” record
called “A Rose May Fly…”. This 4-tracks Cd is a first step to an
ambitious album planned for 2009 and for which the band is searching
for partners.

Hardcore/Progressive which evolves in the way of a sensitive,
energetic, unpredictable and determined human being could.
With
sincerity, and aware of anything life can put on their way, these four

landscape.

is unique, spontaneous, energetic and intense.The band has confirmed
this playing more than a hundred of shows.

Christophe Edrich from X-vision. MY ONLY SCENERY is planning on
releasing their first full-lentgh record for early 2010.

meantime the goal is to do shows, shows and more shows! And the band is
determined to keep this as a priority for his musical and human
evolution: to share his universe all across Europe and
beyond...Constantly learning...
Far Plain - Rock/Metal - Paris - FR
Back
in 2005, returning from a long "Wild" journey in England, Will Attewell
gathers the foundation of the Farplain project. He quickly starts to
write a couple
of songs tinted of grungy sounds reminding the 90s
atmosphere, resonating with inner feelings he went through.
Briding
the
somewhat realistically rough musical atmosphere of the 90s with a
sound of clean energy, Farplain uses its music as a tool for hope in
just sharing together
what is essential.
In 2006, he
introduces then his project to a friend, Jeff Alcaras, founder of the
band Vrihani and sound engineer. Sharing the same vision of life and
fed by the same musical intentions, they put their collaboration in
harmonized motion right away.
The real adventure starts in
March 2008, with a demo recorded at the "Studio de la côte", and Will
begins to search for a real line up.
After some working
session, Guillaume Jockey from the Four Horsemen, Marileen ex-Hide
& sick and Fred Beauvais from Nutshell are composing Farplain.
In
June 2008, the band gathers to make an album with production company
FAM, Phil Alcaras becomes the producer.
His long experience in the
business and the management helped definitively the project to raise
itself to a higher level.
They're now ready with their
debut album PORTAE LVCIS to hit the road and spread this spiritual
sound!

Firewalkwithme delivers a strong and melodic Metalcore.
Following
thir first 3 titles demo in 2004, the band shared the stage with some
famous belgian bands as Deviate, Arkangel but also Kontre2, Defdump,
Nervous Chillin, Dogmeat, Smash my radio, Hit the ghost...
In
2009, Firewalkwithme wants to hit the road in support of their first
autoproduced album titled "Firewalkwithme" and recorded in "The Jack
Studio" .

Silent - Rock/Metal - Namur - BE
Since the first stages in 2005,
Silent is become a huge reference in the belgian metal area.
Touching
smooth and floating atmosphere, exploring brutal sounds, it is very
difficult to classify this band coming from Namur.
Their
First album titled "Five a.m." officialy released the 25th of October
2008, is in harmony with the band, a true paradox. Dense and full of
deepest feelings the oppressive universe describing Silent affect
everybody.
Don't wait to listen "Five a.m."

The Link - Metalcore -
Bruxelles - BEThe
Link was born near the end of 2007, emerging from a few Brussel based
musicians willing to create, innovate and complete the belgian
underground scene.
But that doesn't really matter.
The Link
matured , evolved and is working hard every single day to make itself
strong and mature, brick after brick. Its architects are Nico, Jp,
John, Greg and Mike surrounded by a few friends, pushing them ahead.
But
that doesn't really matter.
The
Link is a self produced band, unsigned and wishing to play live. Again,
again and again, despite the weather, the conditions, the mood, the
obstacles, the critics and the doubts.
But that doesn't really matter
actually.
The
point is that the Link wants to see your head banging, eyes closing up,
sweat and smile when listening to their sound, live or from their
recordings.
The Link wants to share pure energy with you all and
send shivers down your spines.
THAT does matter.
Benoît Martiny Band -
Alternative Jazz - Rameldange - GDLFormed
in 2004 the Benoit Martiny Band's roots are in a room in a garage in
the small village Rameldange. Here through the years drummer Benoit
Martiny developed with his bandmates an original musical style, that
draws its identity from the composite background of the musicians,
ranging from jazz and blues to garage rock, trash, experimental noise.
During
the
process of refining its style and finding the definitive line-up,
the band released "Jazz goes Garage" in 2005, under a local label.
Having
decided that the label's conditions where unsatisfactory, the band
decided to release their new effort on Quinto Quarto. The cd, that has
been recorded in Brussels, is been called simply "Benoit Martiny Band"
as the band considers it the most representative introduction to their
work.
BMB is the 1st prize winner of the 2008 Amersfoort Jazz
Talent Award, and has been performing in many different venues in the
Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Hungary, France, Belgium, Italy

Kitshikers - Alternative Metal - Luxembourg - GDLThe
music
of the "Kitshickers" is reduced to the essential - an
"interesting contrast between sound worlds on many levels, complex
arranged songs and minimalistic-intimistic riffs". Their music is not
easily accessible to everyone but who can lie back, can let the music
work und is not caught in the simplicity of the mainstream, discovers a
new world - the sound galaxy of the "Kitshickers". After having
replaced their drummer and bass player in early 2005, a new era begins
for the Kitshickers and they seem to have found their ideal line-up.
Several tours accross Europe (Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium,
Switzerland, Finland), loads of gigs and several releases can't be
wrong. ……cause music is the issue
