Skyblood – Hard Rock Legend Mats Levén Signs With Napalm Records
After recording more than 50 albums, Mats Leven is one of today’s most sought-after vocalists in the hard rock and metal world. Now he teamed up with Napalm Records to release his very first solo album under the name SKYBLOOD!
From a first small tour with Swedish Erotica in 1989 to Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s massive US tour in 2018, Mats has been delivering the goods around the globe with acts such as Official Yngwie Malmsteen, Therion, Candlemass, Gus G, Treat, Adagio, Krux, Firewind, At Vance and many more.

2019 marks the 30th year for Mats as a recording artist – Napalm Records is proud to release the legend’s very first solo album this year.
Mats Leven on the signing:
“A few days after the split with Candlemass in September 2018, I was contacted by Napalm Records regarding my solo material. The timing was perfect and today I’m thrilled to announce our partnership and the release of Skyblood in the fall of 2019! Skyblood is who I am and where I’m at after 30 years in this weird business. A special thanks to Sebastian Münch at Napalm - let’s do this!"
Sebastian Muench, A&R Napalm Records, states:
“With absolute pleasure and honor Napalm Records would like to announce the signing of Mats Leven's SKYBLOOD. Over the years, Mats distinguished vocal works have created various masterpieces; in particular for Candlemass, Krux and Therion! The new songs from the SKYBLOOD debut sound amazing and we are looking forward to a very successful album release. Mats, welcome to the Napalm family!”

Gloryhammer –
Mighty warriors of the galaxy! GLORYHAMMER are about to return from another epic quest, and they come bearing their new album, Legends From Beyond The Galactic Terrorvortex!
Today we received the cover of the third chapter of the mighty GLORYHAMMER saga.
The galaxy waits in fear for the return of Angus McFife XIII, who fought the greatest battle the galaxy has ever heard of, against the evil sorcerer Zargothrax. All hope of the Kingdom of Fife lies in the strong arms and the infinite wisdom of their young prince.
In late spring, GLORYHAMMER’s new album will tell us the whole story of the most gigantic battle of all time. Until then, we expect to receive more parts of what will end as the best power metal album the galaxy has ever seen. Keep your eyes and ears open!
Zargothrax on the new album:
“Oh wow! I know a lot of people have been waiting on this album for what seems like centuries. For the last three years we've been working non-stop on it in absolute secrecy, and now it is finally complete! We can't wait for y'all to hear it...this is the greatest power metal album of all time. HOOTS!“

DEMILICH: "Demilich has been nominated in the “growl femma” category along with some more current artists of the genre."

Finnish death metal legends DEMILICH have been nominated for a FEMMAGAALA (Finish GRAMMY) award in metal category, set to take place 2/2/2019 in MOSSO, Finland.

DEMILICH unleashed "NESPITHE", 2/8/1993 via NECROPOLIS RECORDS (and in 2003 via CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS).














FROM DEMILICH:

Femmagaala, the “shadow Grammy Awards Ceremony” of Finland, has always had their peculiar categories that change yearly. This year’s categories consist of such gems as “skinny jeans you don’t fit in anymore -femma”, “button pressing -femma” (for DJ’s), and so on. Demilich has been nominated in the “growl femma” category along with some more current artists of the genre.
If you cannot get into the mainstream awards, wait for decades for the alternative ones to come up with a category that suits you! Here I am, fingers crossed!
