Due to the current worldwide situation & information that has become available, we would like to say a few things to the bands and their fans:
First of all, we wish to send all our thoughts and strength to you and your families. We hope you guys are staying safe and being careful at home.
Right now it is a reality that the Music and Extreme Music industries are living through tough times, and a lot of bands are suffering financially from this situation. Let’s try to see what can we learn about it.
The Extreme Music industry still relies a lot on touring, merchandising, and physical sales, and we do hope that this will continue generating incomes for our bands. This situation gives us time to think about the future and about the best way to help bands by integrating more digital tools, and for them to keep spreading their music and vision to their fans.
Today we have the chance to connect people all over the world and deliver them music at almost the exact same time through digital streaming platforms. We would like you to realize that this is our future and the future of the entire market.
Yes, to be equal to one CD sale, streams require way more listening. But today we have hundreds of platforms to deliver music and content, which are generating income for the bands. Every listening, every person counts for the bands. This is no longer limited to one purchase per project, per person but a lifetime income.
We are mainly working with new comers & DIY bands so we are more than aware that the entire sales ecosystem remains essential. It is incredibly important that every band and fan knows that they can be supported and support through streaming and that it will continue to become the main revenue source for artists.
We all need to acknowledge the fact that in order to support the music and bands we love during this time, streaming and digital are our future and that together we can make it works.

The moment has come to introduce the Captain of the invader's scientific expedition, in a time when they still were a pacific race lead by reason and not by religious fundamentalism.
A singer with a fantastic technique, her voice has been warming the heart of her fans for years.
Let the video play to find out who we're talking about.
A Death Metal band from Lisbon (Portugal), initially formed in 2011, under the name "WALL OF DEATH".
Later in 2016, yet due to that line-up changes, and also because of some musical changes, they decided to change their name to "RAGEFUL", marking the beginning of a new era, and of a more mature sonority

Today’s
review is of American Black Metal band Aphelion’s debut EP.
With
a recording quality that is just raw enough as to be fathomed and true at the
same time, these 4 dark songs also have an eerie intro and outro consisting of
malefic chants.
While
the melodies use the usual dissonances, there are also some parts that are
slightly slower, in that sweet spot where they are common Black Metal but not
quite Black Doom where Hades Almighty and Inquisition may sometimes lower their
tempos. Although this nice trait is apparent on the whole release, perhaps on “Cloak
Of Dying Light” it can be appreciated better.
Also,
the way the voice is recorded sounds pretty interesting within the typical
boundaries within which they tread. Overall, the songs have some feeling that
would make them seem like some obscure Scandinavian 90s demo that is usually
hard to achieve. This EP is quite enjoyable if you love classic Black Metal.
I
recommend this to fans of Black Metal, Black Death Metal and Black Doom Metal.
My rating is of 9/10.
