Running With Lions
Lucid Nightmares
Releasedate: 02.02.2018
Genre: Pop Punk
Kat-# MBR0016

Pop Punk is not dead! At least not according to Running With Lions. Singer Eike, bass player Krissi, guitar player Robb and drummer Tommy add their live experience from bands like Johnny Deathshadow, Monstagon, Crushing Caspars and Krach and they want to bring their hometown Hamburg to fame on the globe of Punk Rock! Fans of bands like Green Day, Blink-182, New Found Glory or All Time Low should watch out for Running With Lions.

Three chords and catchy melodies, their debut EP „Lucid Nightmares“ will be released on February 2nd, 2018 via Make Big Records. „Lucid Nightmares“ has been recorded, produced, mixed and mastered late in 2017 at Boogie Park Studios in Hamburg by Alex Henke. Band and music are the brainchild of singer Eike: „Some of those songs are on my shelves for a couple of years and I am looking forward to showing those to the world. Those are some of the most personal songs I ever wrote. We grew up listening to Green Day, Blink-182 or New Found Glory. And I think it’s possible to hear.“  Though the band didn’t try to completely sound like their idols. „No, that is impossible, the weather in Hamburg is more like the weather in Seattle than the weather in California. You can’t sound as sunny if the sun isn’t shining.“

LOFFT – We Rock The North, out February 19!

With „We Rock The North“, LOFFT have written a hymn for one of the most unique heavy metal meeting points in the world: The Headbanger’s Ballroom in Hamburg is well-known all over Europe. Every Wacken-visitor has started his ride to the holy land by drinking a pre- or aftershow beer directly at the waterfront. The club is closed, but the party goes on – on the river, on board of the MS Stubnitz. Celebrate it with one of the hardest songs ever written by LOFFT.

JTR SICKERT - Etoile
JTR SICKERT – Etoilè, out January 29!

JTR Sickert shared already the stage with the grandmasters from Gothic to Industrial like CombiChrist, Das Ich, Theatres des Vampires, taking the Gothic-Electro world by storm. Now they signed a contract with Make Big Records.

JTR SICKERT’s debut album „You Deserve Panic“ scored them the „best album of 2009“ in several underground magazines and a gig at the biggest festival of the black scene at Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig.

JTR Sickert joined Swedish Death Metal stars Dark Tranquillity on stage at Viadana Open Air in 2011. Those are just some of the witnesses of this amalgamut of Gothic Rock, Techno and Heavy Metal. With lyrics about s/m sex and a serial killer from England in the Victorian age – gothic soul, what do you want more?!

Hits! To get seduced by the songs of „Etoilè“ and get a glimpse of the songs, check out the video of „Oblivion“…

Volume 1

 BlackHoleDream - Volume 1
BlackHoleDream – Volume 1, out January 29!

After you listened to this album, you will chant wholeheartedly: „I don’t believe in God, I believe in Yeah Yeahs!“

From the idea of five friends, Biax (Guitar), Riky (voice), Mattia (Drums), Edo (Bass) and Andres (Guitar), during the summer of 2014, BlackHoleDream saw the light!  Coming from different musical journey, the common idea of the band was to mix together all these experience and bring them to the next level! The sound of BHD can be described as the perfect combination between modern rock and metal riffs with an eye open to the poprock ballads!

Between January and May 2015, the band composed and recorded at „Biax Studio“ an album of 10 tracks, called „Vol.1“, mastered at „Fusix Studio“.

Since October 2015 the brand new single, „Tako-Tsubo Syndrome“ is out with a videoclip recorded by Beppe Platania. Take a look here:

… and join the church of the Yeah-Yeahs!

BlackHoleDream now are ready to bring their music to the masses!

MONSTAGON plays Wacken – debut album via Make Big Records

Monstagon

It is rare that a newcomer gets booked on WACKEN:OPEN:AIR, the biggest Metal festival of the world. I mean – if they are not booked for the Metal Battle or other newcomer activities.

MONSTAGON managed to get themselves a name in the growing scene of End Time Metal: The look like they survived the movie scenes of 2012 and MAD MAX and they sound like the directors of Mad Max should have better chosen „Engines of Vengeance“ as their original soundtrack.

Watch the Trailer to the upcoming video to „Engines of Vengeance“ on Youtube, filmed by Timm Prozell, who worked with THE SCORPIONS previously:

Call it what you like – „Modern Rock“, „Alternative Rock“ – LOFFT from Hamburg, Germany celebrate the Rock, that old four-letter-word.  Their songs are energizing and straight to the point – and you’re welcome whether you want to headbang or dance. Songs like „All I Ever Wanted“, „Count On Me“ or „Inferior“ practise the riffs somewhere between CREED, PUDDLE OF MUDD and VOLBEAT. LOFFT’s real strength is the ability to write great ballads. If „Talented To Hurt“ doesn’t melt your heart, you have none.
