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.

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.



Widely touted as one of 2012's prog rock highlights, the debut album from Docker's Guild "The Mystic Technocracy - Season 1: The Age Of Ignorance" shows the musical creative genius of its creator Douglas Docker. Now Docker has made available the second part of a series of videos which takes fans on a journey through his music career from early days right up to the current album and beyond.

Part 2: Out Of Nowhere showcases Douglas' early music career from his time in Bilox upto the beginnings of Docker's Guild, Watch it now at
