Prong is an American metal band formed in 1986. Prong had two independent releases, Primitive Origins and Force Fed. The albums attracted the attention of Epic Records, who signed the trio in 1989.

Barcelona based Heavy Psych Rock act Prisma Circus was founded only recently, and so we must assume that the stars were aligned just correctly to find the band binging out its debut full-length album merely 3 ½ years after the band's conception.
Hailing from Seattle, USA, Princess is another entry into the alternative metal field. Princess take sheer musical force and irritating but commanding hardcore vocals to new heights. Intricate guitar work collides with masterful tempo changes, the rhythmic patterns are furious yet inventive in their splendour. Sometimes Princess gets pretty heavy, bluesy, sludgy, spacey, sometimes almost poppy. There are relatively simple parts but also some songs that are almost border-line experimental noisy rock.
Yet another great release from Danish band Pretty Maids. They’ve kept on releasing good album after good album since 2010’s Pandemonium album.
However mind you, this is not a totally new album. It consists of 12 tracks, 8 of whom are re-recordings of tracks they did in their period with Massacre records, and 4 are new tracks. But it’s the four new tracks that steal the show. Two of them are straight forward heavy metal songs, and the other two are very good ballads.
Pilgrim an American Doom metal band founded in 2010 in Rhode Island, NY. The current members are: Krolg Splinterfist, Slayer of Men (Drums) and The Wizard (Vocals, Guitars (formerly also bass)).

Patrons Of The Rotting Gate are the solo-outfit of a Belfast-born guy, Andrew Ross Millar. Despite his very young age, he was capable to create this first full length all by himself: lyrics and music, vocals, guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, programming, production, engineering, mix and mastering, and even the artwork! Only a friend of his, Adam Irwin, helped him out on some additional guitar lines. And seen the result, it is enormously impressing.
This Italian Progressive Rock/ Metal act from the Coastal villages of Massa and Carrera (situated some 55 km North of Pisa) was founded in late 2010 by members of a diverse and experienced background, which enabled them to set forth quite swiftly in writing and fine-tuning the material (3 tracks) for their June 2011 self-released EP Four Zoas.
In spite of their somewhat limited output (July 2008 self-released 6-track debut EP Nektophobia; October 2010's self-released full-length Concordia Perpetua; the March 2012 released EP's Antichrist and The Flaming Bed In Benum – issued as a double vinyl through Subversive Records; and the one-track single Infected, issued in May 2013 (both on vinyl and as download), also by Subversive), this Swiss band from the Emmental region (actual basis being the towns of Huttwil and Berne) has been around s
