Wailing Banshee

An unstoppable force spearheading a British metal rebellion, combining old-school sound with youthful energy and fierce female vocals, backed by thunderous drums and screaming guitars. Riff by riff, with blood, sweat and tears, the band carved out a loyal following in the UK's underground metal scene through nonstop touring and the release of their breakout EPs "Fight to be Free" and "Worlds Apart," blending NWOTHM (New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal) influences with boundless passion — a frenetic five-piece not trying to reinvent the wheel, but fortifying it.

Violet Blend

Italian alternative metal trio from Florence, renowned for their fusion of cinematic soundscapes, powerful vocals, and dynamic modern metal. Fronted by vocalist and pianist Giada Celeste Chelli alongside Michel Agostini (drums, vocals) and Ferruccio Baroni (bass, backing vocals), the band has built a strong international reputation through electrifying live performances across Europe, sharing stages with acclaimed artists including Garbage, Palaye Royale, and Hanabie. With acclaimed releases including White Mask and Demons , Violet Blend continues to captivate audiences with emotionally charged music that explores identity, resilience, and the complexities of the human experience.

A Thousand Shall Fall

From Dorset, England, delivering a powerful blend of soaring melodies, crushing riffs, and commanding vocals. Fronted by Olive Hart alongside guitarists Steve Dennis and Andrew Jay, bassist Damien Karl, and drummer/vocalist Luke Ayriss, the band combines classic heavy metal influences with a modern edge to create anthemic, high-energy performances. Following the release of their debut EP And Ten Thousand More , A Thousand Shall Fall continues to establish themselves as one of the UK's emerging forces in contemporary heavy metal.
