In Flames
In Flames represent the best of metal’s past, present, and future. In Flames are as vital and even more energized today than when they unleashed classics like Come Clarity and Clayman in decades past.
The band built a stunning reputation with devastating, crowd-moving, inspired performances around the world at every major rock and metal festival imaginable, headlining multiple treks, and touring with the likes of Slipknot, Megadeth, Judas Priest, Killswitch Engage, Within Temptation, and Lamb Of God. They regularly headline some of the biggest stages and festivals in the world.
A sense of pride, accomplishment, and continued vitality are evident every time the band takes the stage, and all over Foregone. Melodic death metal pioneers and innovative purveyors of groove, the artistry, influence, stature, and future of In Flames loom as large as the heavy metal horizon itself.
Thrown
Presenting lyrics filled with anger and self-hatred, thrown effectively blends intense and crushing guitars with catchy, yet aggressive vocal rhythms. Without warning, the four-piece aims to become prominent with their modern take on heavy music. With ‘grayout’ being their first step on making a new impression on the scene, including the works of producer and drummer, Buster Odeholm, and music video director Lucas Englund (Parkway Drive, Architects), thrown brings their A to the game from day one and we’re all here for it.
Vocalist Marcus Lundqvist is joined by Johan Liljeblad and Andreas Malm on guitars, and drummer Buster Odeholm (Vildhjarta/Humanity’s Last Breath) as thrown aim to spread their message of self-loathing through their mix of gut-punching Metalcore and anger-inciting Hardcore.
Distant
Distant, the embodiment of energy, intensity, and sheer brutality in the realm of deathcore, stand as a formidable force in the heavy music landscape. Originating from the juxtaposed locales of Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and Bratislava, Slovakia, this collective concocts a sonic amalgamation, melding hyper-dissonant downtempo deathcore, slamming brutal death metal, and beatdown into a maelstrom of heaviness that engulfs the senses.
Drawing inspiration from the esoteric and the arcane, Distant transcends the confines of mere musicality, presenting themselves as storytellers with a profound tale to share and a legacy to carve. As their fictional universe of Tyrannotophia continues to evolve, it’s evident that Distant’s narrative prowess is poised to captivate audiences far beyond the confines of the stage.
In 2022, Distant unveiled their magnum opus, “Heritage,” courtesy of Century Media Records, further solidifying their position as torchbearers of the genre and heralding a new chapter in their illustrious journey. As their sonic odyssey unfolds, one thing remains certain: Distant’s narrative is far from reaching its conclusion, promising a future where their world of Tyrannotophia becomes an inescapable reality for all who dare to listen.
