One of the brightest stars in the symphonic metal universe have found a new home; Nuclear Blast Records are incredibly proud to welcome Beyond The Black to the ranks of the worldwide NB family.

The band states:

Spanish Symphonic Power Metal band Phoenix Rising have signed a licensing deal with Wormholedeath for the album “Acta Est Fabula”, due for digital release on July 23rd, 2021. More info about the physical CD coming soon!

“Acta Est Fabula” is the 4th release from Phoenix Rising and it features songs that are a balanced combination of aggressive drums, shredding guitars, epic orchestrations, powerful vocals and catchy chorus.

Italy (Milan) based symphonic/gothic metal band Rebirth haven’t released anything since their EP “Frozen Moments” in 2006. But now they come back with a new EP “Storm”. The new EP is not a real concept album but finds its common thread in the storm of emotions triggered by a separation, be it from a person, a place or faith.

Rebirth have also released a lyric video for “Devotion”, the first single from the upcoming EP “Storm”. Check out the lyric video below.

In 2020 and 2021 the music industry looks devastated. Without concerts or any certainty for the future, it was a survival time for everyone. Under the pressure of adverse factors many artists quit music, some found themselves day jobs, several bands split altogether, while individual musicians even died. However, at the very same time, a new star started rising up on the horizon - and this time, from the East.

The interactive concert experiences titled “An Evening with Nightwish in a Virtual World”, that will kick off their Human. :II: Nature. World Tour have been rescheduled from March to May due to changes in the band’s touring schedule. The new dates are Friday May 28th and Saturday May 29th, 2021.

• Tickets purchased for the original dates are automatically valid for the new dates, or can be returned by March 12th 2021. More details further below.

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Nightwish have announced some rescheduled tour dates for late 2021. Previously purchased tickets will remain valid for all rescheduled dates.

The band will present their current studio album “Human. :II: Nature.” and maintain their reputation as one of the best live bands in heavy music. Being known for unique stage designs and pyro effects, the Finnish symphonic metal heroes promise to take their audience on a spectacular audiovisual journey - once again.
