Binary Creed Releases "A Battle Won"
Swedish progressive metal band Binary Creed follows the "Restitution" album with new opus "A Battle Won," which is now finally available in North America as of September 8th via Rockshots Records / MVD Entertainment Distribution.
Singer Andreas Stoltz describes the sound of Binary Creed as “melodic, gritty, atmospheric, layered and heavy!” Stoltz says the subject matter of "A Battle Won" is as heavy as its music.
“The album is a concept album about war, blind obedience and what you sometimes need to do to get away and make yourself a better life. It is about making a stand against oppression and violence even it’s at a very high cost. The opening track ‘Servants’ portrays the madness of blindly following someone else’s doctrine into war. ‘The Fallen King’ is about realizing that what you felt was right and important was actually wrong and futile. It’s also about choosing family over religious dogma and facing mortality - that all you have is this brief moment here on Earth.” More...

We're gonna be hitting a bunch of markets we've yet to play in, like Slovakia, Portugal and Spain but we also will get to see tons of old friends in places we've been before. AND RUSSIA again!!"

Vuur Releases New Music Video
Anneke van Giersbergen's new band Vuur is set to release debut album "In This Moment We Are Free - Cities" on October 20th, 2017. Now the group is pleased to reveal an official video for new single "My Champion - Berlin."
Anneke comments: "This song is the opening track of our debut album and it serves as a kind of master of ceremonies. It's both heavy and melodic, it showcases the technical abilities of the band, but you can still sing along to it. That's basically the kind of album I wanted to make. Our guitar player Jord Otto wrote the song and collaborated with producer Joost van den Broek to finalise it. I wrote the lyrics and vocal melodies.
"This song is about Berlin after World War II. The goddess on the Berlin Victory Column was raised to commemorate military victories, but in the song the city speaks to her and is asking her for help to overcome troubled times. I wanted to make a performance video, one that presents the band as a group that is about music and plays with their heart and soul. That's what we are and I am really proud of this band." More...
