2022

Prog / Psychedelic Rock Prodigy Road Trip has signed a deal with Epictronic for the album “Merry Go Round”, set to be released on January 21st, 2022.

The album “Merry Go Round” is Dave Hulatt’s solo project. It is the result of many years of performing, recording and production experience as a musician/composer and sound engineer / producer.

Due to the rapidly changing global situation with Covid at present, regrettably Tremonti have had to postpone their upcoming headline tour of the UK & Ireland in January 2022, trying hard to reschedule the shows where possible.

One-man Industrial Electro project 800 Throats has signed a deal with Epictronic for his new EP “Day of the Woman”, due for release on January 28th, 2022.

800 Throats signing statement:
“Signing to Epictronic has been an exciting step on the journey for 800 Throats, expanding their audience globally, and being given the incredible opportunity to showcase the best of South African metal on an international scale”.

Watch this space. It is only the beginning…
