Kamelot is returning to Europe for their biggest headliner tour to date. Special guests on the tour include Leaves’ Eyes, Visions of Atlantis, Dynazty (Sweden), Circus Maximus (Oslo) vocalist Lauren Hart (Once Human) and more!

Acclaimed post-prog band Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster have released their new single “Truth Escapes”, their first material in three years.

“Truth Escapes” is a mesmerising journey into the sound of the band, exploring ambience and heavy rock riffs in equal measure. The song is a taste of what is to come, with a new prog-rock ambient-metal tinged album landing in 2019.

2018 marks the 20th anniversary of Lacuna Coil’s debut.

To celebrate this special year, Lacuna Coil played an exceptional show on January 19th in London at the O2 Forum Kentish Town.

The unique, one-time event was filmed and recorded for “The 119 Show - Live in London”, which is scheduled for release on November 9th, 2018.

Check out a brief trailer below.

Fans can look forward not only to a very special live performance that was accompanied by the UK circus group Incandescence, but also to a career spanning set including Lacuna Coil songs never played live before.

Tracklist:
1. A Current Obsession

Silence has been reigning in the camp of Swedish adventure metallers Twilight Force since they conquered European stages once again, as support to DragonForce last autumn.

Whilst secretly working on new anthems for their next output, the band has extensively been searching for a new singer and is pleased to finally unveil their new bard today - Alessandro Conti, known from Luca Turilli's Rhapsody, Trick Or Treat and more.

Comments the band:

Melodic metal masters Kamelot have just released the official music video for the track “Amnesiac” from their brand new chart breaking album “The Shadow Theory”!

Kamelot mastermind Thomas Youngblood explains:
“We are constantly recieving tons of information from all directions and it is telling us how to be, what to do and what to want... So is the reality we are navigating every day even real?... That's a question we all might wanna ask ourselves from time to time...”

Check out the video for “Amnesiac” below.

London cinematic post-metal quintet The Ever Living have unveiled another stunning video for their latest single “Incandescent Array”.

The track is taken from the band's debut album “Herephemine”, which was released worlwide to critical acclaim on May 4th, 2018, via Chromism Records.

Follow The Cipher will release their self-titled debut album next Friday, May 11th, 2018, via Nuclear Blast.

Today, the band has revealed “A Mind’s Escape”, which can be viewed below.

Guitarist Viktor Carlsson commented:
“The track portrays the thoughts of someone who has realised our human errors. The only way to survive the circumstances is to picture the never ending beauty above the clouds. That's a mind's escape”.

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the landmark concept album, “Operation: Mindcrime”, quintessential front man Geoff Tate (the original lead singer for Queensryche) and his band, Operation: Mindcrime, will be performing the platinum-selling album (released May 3, 1988) from beginning to end in its entirety, along with a set full of greatest hits including “Silent Lucidity” and “Jet City Woman”.

The Mindcrime set will cover all fifteen songs from the album including such fan favorites as “Revolution Calling”, “Operation: Mindcrime”, “I Don't Believe in Love” and the closing track, “Eyes of a Stranger”.

Only 4 weeks remain until Follow The Cipher release their self-titled debut album via Nuclear Blast.
