Gee, found no history-of-the-band relating to this Keyport based New Jersey Prog/ Technical Metal outfit, consisting of guitarist/ singer Matt Lupo (whom appears to be the only remaining original member); guitarist/ melodic singer Greg Kuter, guitarist Ray Suhy (the latter two the latest additions), bassist/ scream singer Chris Alfano (formerly the band's bassist; also active in the band Argonauts), and drummer Seth Rheam (also active with El Drugstone)...so I'll just have
Unbelievable...the event which millions of Die Krupps fans had been anticipating for a decade and a half has finally happened : their favourite band finally made a follow-up full-length for their great 1997 studio album Paradise Now!
Gore bloody hell...excuse my French, but you would use that kind of terminology too, if you heard what the set of musicians which hired the Circle brand name for this album, bring on Incarnation!

Northern Italy-situated city of Brescia was the place where Tragodia was born, (In 1996) and where their music started to shape. After releasing in 1998 a critical-acclaimed demo-tape, “Dramas in splendent realms”, a self-produced mini-CD in 2001 “All our miseries” and several line-up changes, Tragodia finally had their first album “The Promethean Leagcy” released in 2007 by Dutch label Dark Balance Records.

This Athens based Greek Metal act was founded in 1997 by bassist Nick M. (whom was actually born and raised in Sweden) and singer/ guitarist George T., and it wasn't until 2005 that the band gained a seeming stability with the joining of drummer Dimitris “Jim” Manolopoulos (an event preceded by the joining of lead guitarist George Papadimitropulos in 2003).
No doubt about it: Gypsy Chief Goliath would stand proudly in a book gathering the wackiest bandnames in Rock history! Foremost however, I feel the band's already earned its place in the regular history books of music as well!
Italian act Grime recorded the debut-album Deteriorate (total running time: forty one minutes) at Igloo Audiofactory with Enrico Baraldi, and it got mixed and mastered by one of the most experienced guys within this specific scene, Billy Anderson (known for his studio work with, for example, Neurosis, AmenRa, Ramesses, Dragged Into Sunlight, Brutal Truth and tens of others).
This Russian Folk/ Pagan Metal act from Tatarstan's second-biggest town Naberezhnyye Chelny (which from 1982 to 1988 was named Brezjnev!) was apparently already formed in 2005, more specifically on July 3rd of that year, although under a different monicker, which also changed over time (from Raven Blood to Vorog) before ending up its current bandname (which is Russian for “bird's cry”) in Feb. of 2007!
