Evenoire

Band Name: EVENOIRE
Status: Active
Genre: Gothic  / dark folk
City:
Country: Germany
Label:
Awards: Band of the week (08-14 October 2012) and Band of the month (October 2012)









Formed in 2007, Evenoire combine a wide range of influences, from Gothic to Symphonic Metal with a very distinctive Medieval/Folk approach, which has already attracted overwhelming response from the international underground Metal scene. A special mention goes to extraordinary lead vocalist Lisy Stefanoni, whose ethereal and powerful voice adds an extra dimension to the melodies and makes her one of the most promising female singers around.

The first self-produced EP "I will stay" was released in 2009 and it gained excellent live confirmations and very good reviews from the music criticism.
Evenoire's songs taken by "I will stay" are included in some compilation:
- on the double UK compilation DEMONIC AND DIVINE (Femme Metal Records) together with bands from all over the world (Aesma Daeva, Morning, Magica, Lyriel, Godyva etc);
- on the French compilation WORLD OF GLASS
- on THE SIRENS' GARDEN, the compilation made by the community of famous metal female voices singers EVE'S APPLE including singers from Visions of Atlantis, Xandria, Amberian Dawn, Haggard, Stream of Passion. The compilation is available on Itunes.

The debut album "Vitriol" was recorded between May and March 2012 at Dreamsound Studios in Munich, Germany, with Mario Lochert (Emergency Gate, Graveworm, Visions Of Atlantis, Kamelot) behind the consolle. Mastering and Mixing duties were handled by Jan Vacik (Dreamscape).
The album features a very special guest appearance by German soprano Gaby Koss (Haggard, Equilibrium, Nota Profana) in the song ‘Misleading Paradise’. The album is released by Scarlet Records on March 26th 2012 in Europe and on April 10th in USA.

“V.I.T.R.I.O.L.” is an acronym used in the alchemical literature, a deep travel into ourselves, going back to a primary state of life, in the dark side of our psyche in order to find the place where death is enlightened by the moon, and living the rebirth at an higher state of consciousness. The womb of Mother Earth is the place where we can experiment this process and the Water is the key, it symbolizes the unconscious.
It's a journey into legends of North Italy, mysterious creatures, echoes of the past, far places and fairy lands where the water gives life and death. You will pass through lakes and rivers, mountains and seas, terrible storms and deserts, castles and palaces, islands and exotic gardens. You will meet great people as King Salomon and Queen of Saba, the famous Italian alchemist Count Cagliostro, the German minstrel Oswald von Wolkenstein, the wife of king Manfredi of Sicily and tragic destinies now become folklore.
The warm and powerful voice of Lisy Stefanoni and her flutes are the narrators and they will guide you through mystical and emotional atmospheres, where oriental echoes meet medieval and folk melodies. Symphonic keys dialogue with strong passages, acoustic moments and prog parts in order to create an unique and fascinating sound.

Weeping Silence

Band Name: Weeping Silence
Status: Active
Genre: Gothic / Doom Metal
City: Malta
Country: Malta
Label: Ravenheart Records





Weeping Silence has been in the metal scene since the mid-1990s & has gone through a period of musical experimentation that contributed to the dynamic music that it has produced so far. The band came together with the release of the debut EP ‘Deprived from Romance’, followed by a track in the ‘Arch Music’ compilation. Subsequently the musical direction & line-up changed considerably, & Weeping Silence sought new ideas from the doom, gothic & avant-garde genres.

Weeping Silence (WS) recorded the second release (1st full-length) ‘End of an Era’ at Temple Studios featuring Rachel Grech on vocals, & released it in 2008 under the Greek Record Label Sleaszy Rider Records. ‘End of an Era’ was well received & regularly gets excellent reviews across the world.

In the period 2006-2008 WS entered the studios again to record the 2nd full-length album ‘Theater of Life’, which retains many elements of the previous album, but with a faster pace & the introduction of a choir accompanied with grandeur orchestrations. The album was released via Ravenheart Music Records in May 2011. The band was rewarded with good press in websites & several plays on metal radio stations. The track ‘Dark Waters’ off this album was also voted first in the EKR A-List People’s Choice Poll in July 2011, & Theatre of Life was nominated for Best Album in the Metal Storm Webzine 2011 Awards.
In summer of 2010 the band played a UK tour in the midlands, namely in Bradford, Manchester & Birmingham with UK metallers To-Mera & Asomvel, amongst others. Over the years WS has appeared on-stage at several festivals & concerts, including the XMA, FEM Fest, Malta Doom Metal Fest & others. In 2012 WS signed with LimeLight Prod. for booking & promotion mainly in Benelux. Expect live appearances in this region soon.

Weeping Silence features, amongst others, on the compilations ‘Des Filles et des Riffs, Vol.1’ (2010) & ‘Vol.2’ (2011) released by Savage Productions & distributed by Seasons of Mist, featuring Epica, Diabolo Swing Orchestra, Kells, To-Mera, Tristania & more.

WS entered the studio once more in end-2011 & 2012 to record the most recent material for the 3rd full-length album ‘For the Unsung’, which also features male vocals. The latest songs are more aggressive, though with a doom-orientation. It should still, however, retain the atmosphere for which the band has become strongly associated with. The recording is re-amped, mixed & mastered by Brett Caldas Lima at Tower Studios (Samael, Cynic etc) & features Anders Jacobsson (Draconian) as guest vocalist; with album artwork by Darkgrove. A pro-video for the song ‘Love Lies Bleeding’ was released in September 2012.

Angelical Tears

Band Name: Angelical Tears
Status: Active
Genre: Metal / Symphonic / Alternative
City: Oklahoma City, OK
Country: USA
Label: BlueFreya




Since forming in October of 2006, Angelical Tears has stood as a unique musical voice in the Oklahoma music scene. The band's heavy but melodic sound is the result of a variety of musical influences such as Hard Rock, Goth, Classical, Metal, and Electronica. These elements all combine to create a powerful metal sound with strong symphonic Goth elements.

The combination of the ethereal vocals of Russian native, Julia Flansburg, heavy guitars of Steven Bittle, pounding bass of Glenn Flansburg, and thundering drums of JC give Angelical Tears a style and sound that sets them apart from their peers in the Oklahoma music scene.

The band's first show was in the "March Bandness" battle of the bands contest organized by 94.7FM "The Buzz". The band quickly proved itself by placing in the top four final bands. Fueled by this initial success, the band sought further opportunities to perform, refine their sound, and develop a fan base. Performances at regional/national venues like The Samurai, Reggies, and The Rave/Eagles Ballroom; at festivals such as Rock Jam, Dame-Nation, Rose State College's Festival of Modern Music, and The Oklahoma State Fair; appearances on KSBI-TV's "Oklahoma Live", Oklahoma University TV's "The Set", The Oklahoma Gazette's Annual Ghouls Gone Wild Halloween Parade, and The All-Stars Tour have helped propel Angelical Tears into the top tier of bands in Oklahoma. These successes have also allowed Angelical Tears to share the stage with numerous local/regional artists while opening for national acts such as Bang Tango and The Misfits, as well as serving as direct support for the internationally-reknown Japanese metal band, Loudness.

Angelical Tears released their debut, self-titled E.P. in August of 2010. Music from this CD has gained local/regional airplay on stations like KATT 100.5FM, Oklahoma City's most popular rock radio station. The EP has received glowing reviews both domestically and internationally by Femme Metal Webzine, Sonic Cathedral, as well as numerous others. The track "No More" was featured on Australian record label Blue Freya's compilation CD "Born of Sand and Snow" as well as in the soundtrack for the motion picture "Dark of Moon". The track "Save Me" will appear on the soundtrack of the upcoming horror movie "Waterfront Nightmare". The band has also consistently held the #1 rank locally on ReverbNation's metal chart as well as a current rank of 22 nationally, and 36 globally (Dec., 2012). The combination of their active fan base, reception of live performances, and EP success have also earned Angelical Tears such honors as being named Unleash the Furies' Band of the Month (Sept., 2011).

With their sights now set on national and international tours, the band has branched out beyond the Oklahoma area playing shows in Wisconsin, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Nevada, Tennessee, and Texas. In addition to actively touring, Angelical Tears has completed the recording of their debut LP, "The Eleventh Hour" which was released June 23rd of 2012.
