Mantus
Presumed dead but still alive... For some years they shrouded themselves in silence: they could have been regarded as dead. But quite evidently MANTUS put the time after the split of the band in 2005 to good use, as only a short while after the release of their resurrection album called 'Requiem' in January 2009, they add fuel to the fire with the EP 'Königreich der Angst' in May. Already with their very first release "Liebe und Tod" (release in 2000), MANTUS had drawn much attention in media and press and had gathered many fans in the gothic scene with their distinguished melancholic rock music with dark romantic lyrics. With the new EP MANTUS prove again to be an important part of the contemporary gothic scene.
Nachtgeschrei
In early 2006 seven guys from Frankfurt decided to join forces to combine several years of experience in the music business to form an unholy pact. It took them less than three years to become known as one of the scene's high-flyers. Since then Nachtgeschrei played numerous live shows with almost every important band of the scene. By now the second album "Am Rande der Welt" is on sale. It makes no difference if the band performs on metal festivals, folk fests of gothic meetings: NACHTGESCHREI always make a big impression and more and more fans are into the bands' sound: modern medieval metal, timeless and relentless!
