Wizardthrone Guitarist Discusses Debut Album
As Tenacious D once explained, punk, grunge, new wave and techno tried to kill the metal, but they failed. Over the past twenty months, it's been proven that COVID-19 can't kill the metal either, as bands are still forming and releasing debut albums, as is the case with the likes of Crypta, Cult Of Lilith, Frozen Crown and Vexed. Another group that's burst onto the scene during the Corona virus era is Wizardthrone, a supergroup comprised of members of Alestorm, Aether Realm and Nekrogoblikon among others to forge a new symphonic death metal band with some of the longest titles in recent memory.
Last month, the band unleashed their debut album, "Hypercube Necrodimensions," which boasts excellent musicianship, superb artwork and stellar songwriting. To find out more about the band, its formation, "Hypercube Necrodimensions" and more, Metal Underground spoke with guitarist Mike Barber. You can watch the interview in full below. More...

I can tell you from first-hand experience that getting into Czech is very easy so if you are worried about being forced to quarantine, etc. you have nothing to fret about. New Covid cases have been dropping in Czech steadily since the beginning of March.
Creating Omnipresence With Your Band!
One of the things that I think a lot of bands miss out on is this sense of omnipresence. This is one of the things that big marketers always talk about but which so few execute well. Omnipresent literally means to be everywhere. And while that might seem impossible, think about some of the brands that seemingly permeate our everyday existence, brands like Coke, Gucci or y’know Metallica.
So how do you get similar when you’re an artist trying to penetrate in the market? I can only talk about what’s worked for me but it’s essentially a combination of high levels of posting, frequent interaction and coordinating as many events both digital and physical as possible. Maybe not all of these things are possible, but this article should give you some ideas to push your presence forward. More...
