Ashent Inheritance
Italian progressive metal outfit Ashent return with
their third album “Inheritance” and welcomes new
lead vocalist lead vocalist Titta Tani to the fold.
In the music of “Inheritance” you can find Cynic’s
rhythmical virtuosity, progressive music in the vein
of early Pain Of Salvation, atmospheric soundscapes
of Devin Townsend and vocal parts inspired by Queen.
These elements create a very
unique style and modern sound.
Venturia Dawn Of A New Era

you will hear in 2012.

We can now confirm our 16
November 2012 releases complete our release schedule for
2012 and are as follows:
The Moor
Year Of The Hunger
Considered one of Italy’s most original and
intelligent up and coming metal acts; the bands
ethos is one that is not afraid to incorporate music
from any rock idiom to give the listener an original
listening experience as their full length debut
“Year Of The Hunger” showcases. The Moor incorporate
sounds from prog rock, metal, death metal (for the
guitars parts), seventies and alternative influences
into their compositions making for a very compelling
end product that will reward any open minded
listener. Recommended for fans of Opeth, Day Six,
Porcupine Tree etc.
Speaking To Stones
Elements
Back 6 years after their debut, the American
progressive metal outfit Speaking To Stones expands
their sound and line-up for their new epic release
“Elements”. Between 2009 and 2012, this cast of
international performers - Tony Vinci, Andy Engberg
(Section A), Mark Zonder (Fates Warning, Slavior),
Greg Putnam (Jam Pain Society) and Anthony Brown
(Graphite Symphony) collaborated on the five
thematically-linked tracks that make up "Elements".
The result is a musical narrative that builds on
groove metal roots and develops into a soundscape of
symphonic complexity and technically prodigious
performances.
