ARTIFICIAL EDEN – “Artificial Eden” (October 16, 2020, Boersma Records)
Artificial Eden was formed back in 2003.
Faithful to their hard rock and progressive metal roots, the band started composing original material shortly after. This, in 2006, led to the release of their first demo EP featuring three songs (released under the initial band name: Quadra.)
In the following years, Artificial Eden participated in numerous festivals, building, and enjoying the support of a number of followers. Some highlights to be proud of were taking the stage as the opening act for the Greek black metal band Rotting Christ, for ex-Iron Maiden singer Paul Di'Anno, and also for the Swedish heavy metal band Enforcer. The band also performed a live cover of the song "Seven" by guitar virtuoso Prashant Aswani. After posting our performance on YouTube, Mr. Aswani was quick to contact the band to give praise and
Recently, the band’s main composing members, Antonis Panagopoulos and Thanos Paparidis, had been working closely together on the band's first full-length release that contains six songs. This point in time also marks the band's change of name to Artificial Eden, which we believe reflects the creative direction that our music has taken.
On October 16th, 2020 they released their homonymous album by Boersma Records (DE).

CARNAL AGONY: NEW SINGLE THE WITCHING HOUR OUT
If Judas Priest and hit songwriter Desmond Child had a love-child, it would undoubtedly be a hideous creature with sex appeal. Much like Carnal Agony. Hailing from northern Sweden, the band is on a mission to pick up the torches left behind by their musical heroes. Their incendiary blend of metal energy and pop melody, spiced up with classical horror themed lyrics, is now ready to be unleashed upon the world.
Building on and further expanding the musical direction of debut album ‘Preludes & Nocturnes’, the second album ‘Back from the Grave’ is already a success with critics and audiences alike. With well over 300 000 Spotify-streams in just a few months the first two singles from the album, ‘Werewolf of Steel’ and ‘Love Will Tear You Apart’, have proven Carnal Agony's ability to write memorable melodies.
In order to let even more people discover the treasures within "Back from the Grave", the band is now releasing one of their favorite tracks as a follow-up single. "The Witching Hour" is the perfect example of the foundation that the band builds their music upon and showcases the bands Unholy Trinity of headbanging rhythms, larger-than-life choruses and irresistible scary stories to tell in the dark.
With music and lyrics by Mathias Wallin, the track was recorded at Studio Seven Sweden in Örebro by Ronny Milianowicz. “‘The Witching Hour’ is unusual for us with it’s clear influences from bands like Whitesnake, Heart or Survivor. They’re a part of my musical DNA as well and it was fun to explore that and try to infuse it with metal”, says Mathias. “And when I got the chorus melody in my head I knew I had something special going on.” Guitarist Pär-Olof Persson agrees: “The moment I heard the song for the first time I decided that we had to record a new album. I can’t wait to play this song live!” Vocalist David Johagen chose a different approach to his vocal delivery on the track. “The lyrics called for a more storytelling feeling than the other tracks. I wanted to convey the curiosity, horror and ultimately power in the character's development and I think that you can hear it in my voice. Hopefully you’ll become afraid, disgusted and intrigued.” The Witching Hour is upon us!
“The Witching Hour” is available for streaming and digital download at all major digital services.
Dan & The Gummy Hunters releases music video for "Let it go", project is heavily influenced by the 90s Californian punk scene
Dan & The Gummy Hunters has just released the news music video for "Let it go", the track is part of the last album "Memory Lane".
Check it out "Let it go": https://www.youtube.com/watch?
"Memory Lane" has ten tracks, nine in English and one in Portuguese. All the songs and lyrics were written by Daniel Sant ’Ana, except for
the lyrics for “ Pride and arrogance”, which was written by Rafael Vasconcelos and Davi Package, who together sign with Daniel the composition of “We Try”.
The name of the album features compositions that talk about the last 10 years of Dan's life, such as his daily life, relationships with couples,
family, friends, parents and children.
Very influenced by the 90's Californian punk, the album is a full plate for those who like the style and bands like Descendents, No use for a name, All,
Millencolin, Social Distortion. The cover art was made by illustrator Cristiano Suarez.
Very present in the Brazilian hardcore punk scene, Dan, decided to start write again with the emergence of the pandemic of covid-19 and with the result of the
lockdown that we lived for several months in Brazil. After composing two songs made on the guitar, the musician decided to invest in the purchase of a guitar,
interface and reference monitors, where he recorded the songs with electronic drums in logic pro x. In late June, Dan already had some songs ready and
contacted producer Davi Pack from Hill Valley studios in Porto Alegre, to start recording four tracks, thus releasing the first single, "Let it go", which
led him to record 6 more tracks making the project a record with ten songs.
Dan & The Gummy Hunters, is a solo and itinerant project by Daniel Sant 'Ana. The idea came up to facilitate the logistics of shows and the musicians to
change according to the region and tour time. In North America, for example, the musician has the support of the Canadian band Crash The Gates, and in
Brazil he has the support of musicians like Davi Pacote and Matheus Menezes. In Europe, Dan & The Gummy Hunters will continue to tour with the same musicians,
while in Brazil and South America where the shows take place over the weekend, the project will have to work with more musicians to make a possible tour possible.
For the recording of the music video for "Let it go", Dan & The Gummy Hunters has the participation of Pedro Rocha (drums), Matheus Menezes (bass) and Daniel Santana (guitar and voice). The clip was recorded at Barbearia 12 de Outubro, in Recife, Brazil, and was directed by Lumos Estúdio.
