DEADLY CARNAGE, Rimini
Deadly Carnage born in December 2005, after the idea of Adres and Marco C.. After a few days Nicolas G. joined the band, and the band starts its activity in the early 2006. The band initially plays a basic death-thrash, but in a few time the raw-black influences rose. That evolution ended in July 2006 as Marcello joined the band. In September Deadly Carnage create “Noise of War, Noise of Doom”, a five tracks demo with 15 minutes of black metal. After some live performances the band begin working in the creation of new tracks. In October of 2007 the band release the EP “Sentiero 1 – Empi Inni alla Consapevolezza di Sé”: this work presents two new tracks and a new, more doomish version of “Unholy Hymn” (already in the first demo). After this EP the band decides to leave classic sounds of black metal and the standard face-painting to express itself in a more epic and complex black metal, with the aim to keep the distances from the masses. In April 2008 Deadly Carnage enter the Fear Studio to record their first full-length.

At the end of 2006 the band had its first live experience and started to work hard on the recordings of their first demo-cd, a concept-album based on the dantesque hell, viewed in an apocalyptic key, mixing to the traditional Black Metal sound, ceremonial parts of accompaniment keyboards. In october 2007 Manthus left the band due to personal problems and Gremory recorded the first official EP produced in Elliott's Garage (Rome), In Nomine Martis (The drums were recorded using a drum-machine programmed by Sho).

SOKROVENNO, Como
Sokrovenno was formed in the late 2005, when Autunno (bass and vocals) and Maleficus (guitar) found out their common interest in Classic Literature and Nature. Autunno started writing music. In the early days of summer '06 they made a home-recorded demo called "Leggenda", but it lacked sound quality, thus they decided not to release it and yet went on fuelled by new enthusiasm. In the Autumn of the same year, tha band gained Wartide at the rythm guitar and Sin at drums and perc. In the same time, Autunno's studies of Philosophy led him to join the tenets of the great Greek thinker Epicurus (IV-III Century b.C.). With the new formation, some of the old stuff was re-arranged along with the new material.In February 2007, "Flammantia Moenia Mundi" (The Flaming Walls Of World) came to light. This demo consisted of three own tracks of pure Black Metal, with a strain of Ambient and Folk influence. Autunno wrote the lyrics for "Ineunte Hieme" (The Arrival Of Winter), while the lyrics of the third track "Flammantia Moenia Mundi" were inspired by the remarkable Roman and Epicurean author of the I Century b.C. Lucretius.

ATHANOR, Vasto
"The band is active since 1998, year of preparation for tracks recorded in the first demo tape ‘99, IN THE DARK NIGHT. In this year songs are revised to be recorded into a professional studio for the self produced mini cd TRIUMPH OF THE DARK POWER (later re-released by Frozen Creations & Mystical Promo/Distribution, then on tape under Daemonolatreia Rex & Mystical Promo/Distribution). In 2002 the band enter the studio to record the promo cd CALL FROM THE DEPTHS in conllaboration with Mystical Prods; this contains two unreleased tracks and Mayhem's ‘Buried by time and dust’, with a bonus track (title track of the first MCD). The year later this becomes a part of the split tape AEIKONEN with Tragedy Begins (Greece) and Drawn Me Blue (Finnland). Afterwards, band activity stops due to the exit of the drummer from the band, who is replaced only one year later. The line up is ready once again, able to start working for '666% Necrotic Black Metal', recorded in 2006. During the recordings some troubles cause the slow work on the whole work until the final mixdown. The guitar player leave the band so the cd is officially finished in 2007. 666% Necrotic Black Metal is the first official full lenght of Athanor, produced by Mystical Prods. The long await is fully paid by the final result, obtained with the specific use of analogic machines, to have a personal and typical old school sound. To celebrate the return of the band in the right way, the first edition is limited to 50 bloodsigned copies with violet print on the cd. Then, it's included a special gift for all necro-maniac fans, prepared with patience during nights before the release... really not suggested for emotional people!"
