About

AVARICE was formed by a bunch of teenagers in 2007, the same year in which the collective also won the Aarhus Metal Contest and played shows and festivals with bands such as Kreator, Soilwork, Volbeat, Mnemic, Dawn of Demise and Mercenary. After laying low for several years, Avarice was restarted in 2021, in which year the EP “Reborn in Blood” was released. The EP was amazingly well received by fans as well as reviewers, which led them on their way to Uprising Records.

Finally, in June 2023, after putting on iron and fire at the local clubs in Denmark, the melodic death/thrash metal bunch was ready to release their highly anticipated self-titled debut album. The record, self-titled, included ten hard-hitting tracks that are themed around the antiquity’s mythological tales of punishment and extreme greed – hence the band and album name “Avarice”. An uncompromising display of ferocious and brutal sound that was considered by the press as a modern Danish metal classic that belongs in any record collection.

In 2025, Avarice signed to Mighty Music and is now preparing the next editorial steps.

About

Advocacy was formed in Aarhus, Denmark in the Spring of 2015 with influences from metal, jazz, and progressive rock. The band’s music is multi-faceted with unorthodox time signatures, three-part vocal harmonies, and compositions that take the listener on a musical journey through wide, dynamic levels and complex instrumentation. The lyrical themes are based on existentialism, societal issues, and the stormy depths of the human minds.

After two exploratory EPs, in early 2024, the collective released their debut album, “The Path of Decoherence”, mixed and mastered by Frederik Uglebjerg (Svartsot, Trold). The record saw the band’s compositions, already praised by the genre fans for their previous EPs, becoming more complex and, at the same time, heavier and more melodic, as the band is highly motivated on bringing their musical world to an international audience. With artwork by Disturbing Grace Design and cover art done by the band’s guitar player Søren Wind, “The Path of Decoherence” was the classical hit-the-ground-running debut album from a non-typical mature band for their first full-length.

In October 2025, Advocacy released the new single “This Night”, which is the first single from the band’s upcoming album – an intense journey into the night where hope fades, fear looms, and the struggle against overwhelming crisis becomes inevitable. The lyrics reflect the current age of polarization, insecurity, and war, shifting between resignation and defiance.

Guest vocalist Anders Sinding (Avarice) delivers a raw and visceral counterpoint, while production and mixing returning engineer Frederik Uglebjerg provide a razor-sharp sonic framework. A visually striking music video, directed by Casper Silber, completes the release, capturing the full spectrum of Advocacy’s expression – from melancholy to extreme intensity.

About

EMPIRE DROWNS challenge the boundaries of melodic doom and death metal on their haunting  new album “Endless Nights”. Drawing from the desolate beauty of Scandinavian winters and the raw intensity of East African landscapes, the Danish collective delivers a sonic experience where melancholy, atmosphere, and aggression collide in compelling fashion.

“Endless Nights”is a record that breathes with its own pulse: melodic yet crushing, introspective yet vast, bleak yet strangely beautiful.

Across its tracks, “Endless Nights” weaves powerful growls, mournful guitar leads, pounding rhythms, and spectral keyboards into a cohesive whole that pays homage to genre titans like Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Katatonia and Anathema – while carving out an identity all its own.

The album was recorded by Marco Angioni (Tygers of Pan Tang, Thorium) at Angioni Studios, and mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen at the renowned Antfarm Studios (Moonspell, The Haunted, Baest). The result is a deep, enveloping production that enhances both the weight and nuance of Empire Drowns’ sound.

“While the music retains a core of Scandinavian winter and grey skies, “Endless Nights” was forged not only in Denmark, but also in the vibrant heart of East Africa – a region of majestic landscapes and rich cultures, scorching sun, devastating cycles of drought and flood, profound political tumult, unforgiving poverty and deep resilience”, the band states. “The album’s inspiration is a paradox born of the extremes that shape these vastly different worlds, it stands as a powerful sonic reflection of life’s relentless contrasts”.

Looking ahead, Empire Drowns will take “Endless Nights” to the stage in 2026, with live performances that promise to channel the album’s emotional depth and sonic weight into an immersive concert experience. This is not a studio project or a fleeting collaboration; this is a real band, committed to the long haul, ready to connect with audiences and make their mark on stages across Europe and beyond.

“Endless Nights” is out now on LP (grey vinyl, limited to 150 copies), CD and digital, via Mighty Music.

About

FURY are challenging the barriers of hard rock and metal genres once again with their exciting new album “Interceptor”. From the reassuringly old-school fast riffing and anthemic vocals the long lasting fans know from Fury, to the carefully composed, introspective auditory treats that might surprise listeners who expect metal bands to sit neatly in their box.

Since their previous album, “Born To Sin” (2022), Fury have moved into the territory of dual lead vocals, opening up a new soundscape for the band to explore. With the release of every album since their debut in 2014, vocal melody and harmony have become an increasingly significant part of their sound. Until no longer could the band remain a four-piece, and the powerhouse Nyah Ifill joined alongside founding member Julian Jenkins on co-lead vocals. The pairing of their two distinctive vocal timbres build a wall of sound on the “Interceptor” album, and doesn’t let up the intensity for their roaring live shows.

2022 was also a big year for Fury bassist Becky Baldwin, who found herself meeting heavy metal idols Mercyful Fate on their first tour in 23 years, and was invited by King Diamond to tour the USA, Canada and Mexico with Mercyful Fate in the absence of their bassist, Joey Vera. After taking this opportunity, Becky was invited to join Mercyful Fate permanently in January 2024. With frequent gaps in the touring schedule to allow King Diamond his many projects, Becky found herself busy with Fury, on the road and recording the high-energy new album “Interceptor”.

“Interceptor” also marks another sonic change for the band, bringing in the production expertise of Todd Campbell of Stompbox Studios. Fury met Todd while touring Europe supporting Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons in 2023, and it became clear that someone so close to Motörhead and Lemmy would understand the energy, rawness and dirty guitar and bass tones that Fury craved for their fifth studio album.

Since the band’s formation in 2010, Fury’s line up has undergone many transformations, but it is undoubtedly clear that Fury have found their stride in recent years, reflecting in their expansion into touring mainland Europe and a growing online following worldwide. Gig highlights include festivals such as Download (UK), Bloodstock Open Air (UK), UrRock (CH) and supporting bands such as Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons, Firewind and Florence Black.

The West Midlands of the UK have produced many excellent heavy bands, and with a shift from unapologetically DIY to signing with Danish label Mighty Music, perhaps this is another album from Birmingham to shake up the airwaves again!

“Interceptor” is out now on LP (black vinyl limited to 200 copies and purple vinyl limited to 300 copies), CD and digital, via Mighty Music.
