Dialectic Soul are SlavaZ (guitar), Sasha - (guitar, bass, drum programming), Galina (keyboards) and Billy (vocals) from Belarus. On ‘Terpsychora’ (2007) they play symphonic black metal with a catchy neoclassical pop twist. Vocals are harsh (death and black) mixed with clear ones. The overall sound is extremely melodic.
Burnt By the Sun has returned with the staggering new and final album Heart of Darkness. Heart of Darkness clearly stands head and shoulders above the band's renowned catalogue. Every aspect of this legendary band has been pushed to the limit: crushing riffs rain down like cement blocks, drums explode like gunfire and strident vocals howl against a modern dystopian society that besets us all, echoing the music's sonic sentiment. Heart of Darkness is both the heaviest Burnt By The Sun record, and stacked with the band's most memorable songs to date such as Inner Station, Cardiff Giant, Rust | Future Primitive, and The Great American Dream Machine. Burnt By the Sun saved their best for last.
Assassinate the Following... is a four piece band hailing from Windsor, Ontario Canada. Started in July 2006 by Brandon White and Drew Torok as a departure of their old band, their goal was and still is to produce the heaviest head banging, techinical, progressive metal music for your listening pleasure. They have succesfully shared the stage with many bands, published a five song EP in August 2007, and are currently promoting their first full-length Massacre of the North. The roster and sounds of Assassinate the Following... consists of Brandon White and Drew Torok on Guitar and Vocals, Josh White on Bass, and Russell Farley on Drums.
The band has a wide range of influences that combine their own sound of razor sharp progressive metal. Feeding off bands such as Protest The Hero, Between The Buried And Me, Dream Theater, The Faceless, and many more, the band has put together their own unique style of music. In August 2007 the band recorded their debut self-titled EP at Spectre Sound. Feeling accomplished and succesfull with what they managed to produce, they headed back to the studio in April 2009 to produce their first full-length Massacre of the North.
