EXOTERIK
http://www.myspace.com/exoterik
UK based heavy rock band Exoterik are united by their determination and desire to create an infectious mix of stomping, energetic riffage and ethereal beauty within their music. ?Exoterik are a polished band that could easily hold their own against the heavy weights of this genre?. (Room Thirteen, Live Review, 2007).
Exoterik are ready to unleash their eagerly awaited second album entitled Butterfly In Your Hand which encapsulates Exoterik?s dynamic approach to songwriting with their energetic riffs and passionate delivery. ?This is a mature, strong release full of tracks imbued with melodic heaviness and an emotionally charged energy?. (Fabienne T, Alternative Magazine).
After recording the previous album Don?t Swallow between Finland and Latvia with producer John Fryer, Exoterik have this time decided to keep to their roots and record their second album in England. The album promises to be big and bold, with metal grooves, catchy melodies and powerful riffs. This album will see Exoterik spreading their wings, taking listeners to new heights far beyond their previous album.
Butterfly In Your Hand is scheduled for worldwide release in the later part of 2009 with a tour to follow.
Exoterik have toured venues up and down the UK, delivering their music and showcasing their high-powered performances, playing alongside the likes of Lacuna Coil, Epica and Stuck Mojo to name but a few, as well as performing at major festivals around the UK.
The first single Are You Alive was self-released in April 2008 and was soon followed by a 10 day U.K. tour with US rockers Wednesday 13. Shortly after the tour, Exoterik welcomed new bass player Darren Townes to the band line-up and they continue to expand their fan-base.
?They are a band with such pure talent, energy and outspokenness about them, that it is no wonder why their music is so inspiring.? (Lynda Dale MacLean, Grave Concerns - U.S. E-Zine, April 2008).
DAMNATION ANGELS
http://www.myspace.com/damnationangels
Damnation Angels are taking the world by storm and redefining Symphonic Metal in the process. Formed late 2006, the band have gained a reputation for huge drum beats, monsterous riffing, powerful and expertly performed vocals blended with the massive power of the orchestra. Original band members, Maestro, drummer John Graney and bassist Gabriel Scott were joined in 2008 by keyboardist Dawn Trigg and singer Lewis Starfire to complete the lineup. Having perfected their live performance playing many shows and numerous tours around the UK the band decided it was time to take it to the next level.
In February 09 the band headed to Grindstone studios Ipswich to create a new benchmark in symphonic metal with the aid of esteemed producer Scott Atkins (Sylosis, Man Must Die, Mutant). After many months of hard work ?Shadow Symphony? was born and with the aid of top Finnish artist Jan Yrlund (Korpiklaani, Sirenia, Turisas) ?Shadow Symphony? would be brought to life and the vision would be complete. The music is rich and varied, heavy with dark undertones and sets a new standard for symphonic metal. The heavenly voice of Lewis Starfire carries throughout with passion and power, delivering exactly what the music deserves.
Damnation Angels represent more than just symphonic metal, they represent a dividing line between what was known and what is to be, with unfaltering passion for their music the sound of Damnation Angels is now stronger than ever.
