In Flames

Metal band from Gothenburg Sweden. Latest CD in stores is Come Clarity.
Trivium

Finally, a rock band known for their guitar riffs and not glossy overly produced rock discs has emerged. Trivium has been providing us with mind blowing guitar solos and heavy hitting drums for over a decade. They have just released their fifth album, In Waves, in 2011 and are currently touring with Dream Theatre on the A Dramatic Turn of Events Tour. Don't miss a date on the Trivium concert schedule (2011); Use Eventful as your source for Trivium tour dates and venue information.

The Orlando based band released their debut album, Ember to Inferno, in 2003 and immediately garnered attention from Roadrunner Records who signed the band to a major label recording deal. After constant touring, Trivium released its sophomore set, Ascendancy, in 2005. The album debuted at #151 on the Billboard 200 and they were immediately hailed as the hardest rocking band in the biz. Hard rock magazine, Kerrang!, hailed Ascendancy, as "Album of the Year". Trivium tour dates were scheduled on the tours with Killswitch Engage and at Ozzfest.

Trivium released their third album, The crusade, which debuted at #25 on the Billboard 200. Trivium achieved a life-long goal when they toured with Metallica and Iron Maiden in 2007. They returned to the studio with Nick Raskulineca to produce Shogun, which debuted at #1 on the UK Rock charts and #23 on the Billboard 200 to become their highest charting album yet. Since releasing In Waves, Trivium has spent the bulk of 2011 on the road. They co-headlined the MAyhem Festival and were special guests on the Iron Maiden Final Frontier World Tour. If you didn't get the chance to catch them earlier this year, Trivium tour dates are currently scheduled throughout 2011 on the A Dramatic Turn of Events Tour with Dream Theatre. Don't miss out on a true American metal-core band when they visit a venue near you!
Veil Of Maya

The midwest is a place that is overlooked by many... It is too bad because the midwest has given birth to some of the most progressive metal bands to come out in a long time. VEIL OF MAYA hails from the suburbs of Chicago and having played regionally and toured for 2 years in support of their debut full length "ALL THINGS SET ASIDE" on Corrosive, they have definitely made some waves...


Kyng

KYNG the southern California hard rock trio, originated in January of 2008 in Los Angeles. Singer/songwriter Eddie Veliz bassist, Tony Castaneda and drummer Pepe Clarke Magana, after years of working off and on with each other on various projects, decided to propagate the idea of a band that would closer fulfill their musical desires. Within months of sessioning the three were sold on the chemistr...y and shortly after that went into the studio to record their debut album. The sound they realized was exactly what they had sought after, a unique and universally appealing combination of heavy and captivating concepts, channeling influences from black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin to the Foo Fighters and Kyngueens of the Stone Age. "We wanted a band that could stand alongside anything in the scene, have the ability to crossover seamlessly and still bridge who we are.” KYNG’s versatile approach of a sweet devastation bleeds from an artistic drive toward a momentum described as "California Heavy". Their evolution will undoubtedly blaze a trail that redefines what is expected and defines the giants they will become. Their first album, Trampled Sun, on REALID Records is set to hit the streets of the US and the World Wide Web September 27 while their first two singles, Falling Down and Trails in Veins, both mixed by Mike Watts (Adelita’s Way, Hopesfall, Kynguicksand, Brand New), are set to take over the airwaves and online channels mid July and will be available at iTunes July 26th. The digital deluxe of Trampled Sun will contain 15 tracks exemplifying the bands great range and how much music KYNG has to offer the planet earth. The Los Angeles based trio, hailing from LA and parts of Mexico, is as unique in spirit as their sound. Reminiscent at times of the metal and hard rock of the late 1970’s in style and musical collection, with a presentation that is totally heavy, classic and modern-day all at once, they are sure to refresh the Active Rock and Metal landscapes of today and tomorrow. As drummer Pepe Clarke Magaña puts it, “I think we’re doing stuff, or a combination of stuff that has been done before, in a way it’s never been done before.” Their sound on Trampled Sun easily provokes the question, “Is that really just 3 dudes?” The pipes on Eddie Veliz reminiscent of Cornell is his early days, the thunder brought by Pepe Clarke Magaña on the drums and the rolling rhythms brought by bassist Tony Castañeda have KYNG meant for great things. Completing dates with The Sword, KYNG is currently out with Black Stone Cherry and Pop Evil and plan on touring forever as the road is the life’s blood of any young hard rock band looking to take over the world. In the land of pigs, the butcher is KYNG.
