KOBRA AND THE LOTUS released their third full-length album entitled "High Priestess", in North America on June 24th, 2014 via Titan Music. Produced by the Grammy-nominated Johnny K (MEGADETH, DISTURBED, THREE DOORS DOWN), the CD delivers a blend of fiery vocals, heavy riff-laden melodies and ferocious musicianship.

KOBRA AND THE LOTUS vocalist Brittany Paige stated about the band's upcoming album: "The new album is really interesting, because it is absolutely eclectic, but there is still consistency, but you almost cannot figure it out all the time why it is inconsistent because there are that many different things. I mean, there are a lot of different expressions on this album. You have a lot of really traditional, in-your-face metal, you know, just straight-up heavy metal songs, but then we have some things that steer more towards Nordic-sounding and maybe even Canadian, which I do not even know what that means, but it just sounds different. [laughs] It is different from our last album, which is crazy, because you try not to be different, you do not want to change you sound or anything, but every time you write new music, it all has to do with what is just pouring out of you at that time. There is even some more rock/metal thing that goes back to more close to the roots of KOBRA AND THE LOTUS, when we first started, which was in between rock and metal; there is a little bit of that in there, too. So it is interesting. It is very heavy still, but it is eclectic and I cannot wait. There are some songs that I am not sure what to tell you it is, because I do not know what the label would be for it. It is still metal, [but] I do not know what kind of metal. [laughs]"

AMBERIAN DAWN released their sixth full-length album entitled "Magic Forest", on June 27th, 2014 in Europe and July 8th, 2014 in North America via Napalm Records.

Says AMBERIAN DAWN songwriter Tuomas Seppälä: New album, 'Magic Forest', is AMBERIAN DAWN's first studio album with singer Capri. Now with her I've been able to fullfill some of my early dreams with musical styles and this new style is really big, fresh and naturally flowing. New sound is more keyboard-driven and the vocal lines have some strong influence of 1980s. But since this is AMBERIAN DAWN, there's, of course, also some fast songs included and some really serious guitar and keyboard shredding too. Mr. Jens Johansson of STRATOVARIUS once again contributed some really awesome playing in form of one keyboard solo. Thank you, Jens, you've been supporting us so many years now. This is also first time on AMBERIAN DAWN's history when we had an actual production team put together.

"Thank you, Mikko P. Mustonen and Capri, for your awesome support and work. We really have an extraordinary good production team here.

"We had so much fun in doing this album and you can really sense and hear the relaxed atmosphere we had on the process.”

The official music video for the song "Magic Forest" from AMBERIAN DAWN, can be streamed in the YouTube clip below.

BOGUSLAW BALCERAK'S CRYLORD released its long-awaited second full-length album entitled "Gates Of Valhalla", on June 20th, 2014 via Power Prog Records.

BOGUSLAW BALCERAK has gathered again a real Metal vocal elite around him, especially the well-known singing artists Carsten "Lizard" Schulz (EVIDENCE ONE, BOOK OF REFLECTIONS, ex-DOMAIN), Rick Altzi (MASTERPLAN, AT VANCE, EPYSODE) and Neo-Classical legends Mark Boals (ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ex-ROYAL HUNT, RING OF FIRE, IRON MASK) and Göran Edman (ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, KARMAKANIC, BRAZEN ABBOT) are particularly worthy of mention. The result is an impressive Neo-Classical Metal masterpiece that shines with fantastic and song matching vocals, the exceptional and stunning guitar work of the master himself, lots of fastidious progressive elements and structures and melodies that will dig into the ear canals. Three years after his much-publicized debut, BOGUSLAW BALCERAK'S CRYLORD are back with their second blast "Gates Of Valhalla" and are definitively a real contender for the current Neo-Classical Metal throne.

The song "Passage To The Other Side" from BOGUSLAW BALCERAK'S CRYLORD featuring Carsten "Lizard" Schulz, can be streamed in the YouTube clip below.
