En la continuación de su debut de 2021, Freezing Terror ofrece una narrativa sonora de paisajes oscuros, confusión interna y emoción humana cruda a lo largo de ocho nuevas y poderosas pistas, con una duración de más de 52 minutos:

Producido por la propia banda, Firestorm captura la esencia del metal gótico mientras supera sus límites con una velocidad frenética y atmósferas envolventes e inquietantes. El álbum explora temas de aislamiento, destrucción y fragilidad humana, llevando a los oyentes a un mundo de hielo y fuego.

Creado por miembros de Sombre Holiday y Midnight Worship, Firestorm ofrece una experiencia de metal gótico y frenético, con melodías inquietantes y riffs aplastantes.

"Queríamos crear un álbum que se sintiera como un viaje a través de la desolación y el caos, pero con momentos de reflexión y belleza", dice el guitarrista principal y vocalista Terry Friesen. "Cada pista cuenta su propia historia, pero juntas, forman un tapiz de lucha y supervivencia humana".

La formación de Freezing Terror, formada por miembros de Sombre Holiday y Midnight Worship, reúne años de experiencia musical y visión creativa. Su influencia combinada impulsa la intensidad y la profundidad lírica del álbum, lo que lo convierte en una escucha obligada para los fanáticos del metal gótico tradicional y moderno.

"El segundo trabajo de Freezing Terror, Firestorm, demuestra que los hermanos Friesen se sienten muy cómodos en un entorno más pesado y directo al metal, en oposición a los sonidos más atmosféricos (aunque no menos capaces) de Sombre Holiday y Midnight Worship. Una escucha repetida revela que el dúo dedicó mucho tiempo y pensamiento a la meticulosa composición de Firestorm, y cada tema aporta un riff, un estribillo o una melodía únicos para atraer su interés. Sí, Firestorm es muy recomendable para los fanáticos del heavy metal sencillo con un toque gótico y doom, pero también para aquellos cuyos gustos se inclinan por el lado poderoso y progresivo de las cosas".

History of the Band

5grs is one of the Iranian Heavy Metal/Thrash Metal Bands formed in 2004 in Tehran by Pooyan Madadi, band's lead guitarist & composer with their discremenating factor being the first Metal band in Iran benefiting from female lead vocal.

The initial lineup of the band consisted of electric guitar players Pooyan Madadi & Mazdak Sadeghi, bass guitar player Navid Naeima, drummer Omid Shahi Fakhr and frontman Arash. They started their gigs with the purpose of covering songs from some Grunge bands including Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam & Audio Slave. these gigs took about a year and during this time the ban's lineup underwent some changes. Shahin Effatian replaced Omid Shahi Fakhr as drummer, but after just some sessions he decided to drop out due to personal reasons and Aidin Radkia replaced him.

Eventually, on 01.09.2005 the band was able to get their first performance opportunity in Taraneh Hall. Upon performing, like the ritual common in Iran, the band experienced the second alteration in its lineup. Arash dropped out & Ali Azizian joined 5grs as the frontman. The aim for having gigs now was performing cover songs from bands such as Megadeth, but this time Pooyan and other band members were composing their original songs aswell. The gigs were not as successful as they thought them to be, and by Ali & Aidin drpping out, the band faced hiatus.

After a short-term halt, in 2006, Shahin Effatian, joined 5grs for the second time and Hadi Kiani joined for vocal. With the new lineup and the goal of performing songs from bands such as Iron Maiden, Savatage & Bruce Dickinson and composing their own songs, the band once again kick started their gigs. The offsprings of these gigs were two singles called "My Dreamful Place", composed by Hadi Kiani & "City Creeper", composed by Pooyan Madadi with song arrangements done by the band. At this point, the main complication was that, Pooyan, who was considered the fixede & main member sensed the productivity in the band's works can not be detected as it should be, so once again he decided to put a stop to their activities and he was left to be the sole member with the second phase of crisis approaching.

Meeting Sanam 5049 in 2007 was considered to be a focal point in the band's history and the first full-length album from 5grs titled "Access Denied" was released consequently. Capability of Sanam in vocal performance & writing lyrics on one hand, and the interrelation of their attitudes, on the other hand resulted in quikening up the pace of gigs.

Access Denied

In the first gigs of Pooyan & Sanam, a single called "We Are Freaks" was born. The basis of this song was generated beforehand, but it still didn't reach the maturity it required. After Sanam started creating vocal line & writing lyrics, the structure of the song completely changed and the title was altered to "Runaway" which was the starting point of an energetic era for the band. Afterwards, the gigs were held frequently. At this stage, Pooyan composed the songs and Sanam arranged vocal lines for them and upon spending a year like this, in 2008, 5grs debute album was recorded, mixed, mastered and released. But this process is not a routine one in Iran, since no Metal band formerly was able to release an official original album and this created compliclication for the band, to the extent that Pooyan calls it "the most complicated procedure overall". Luckily, Pooyan met a publisher through a studio-owner, but even by having that opportunity, it took him 6 long months and great deal of money & energy to release the album on 25.07.2008 in the underground scene.

The next imoportant event was a one-day exhibition held with audio/video products of 5grs in Tarrahan Azad Gallery with 600 visitors. In the said exhibition "Access Denied" album, together with the first music video of the band called "Judgement Day" which was one of the songs in the album and the commercial T-shirt were put on sale. The first video was composed by Pooyan & Mazdak, arragement of Pooyan & directed by Pedram Etemadi as an animated video & was aired on PMC & GEM TV channels. What was strange in the video was absence of Sanam, since appearance of females as singers & performers is against the rules. In this regard Pooyan Madadi stated "Everybody said Pooyan was really selfish, but the truth was that she refused to appear in the video herself." the debut album consisted of 9 tracks which overall was 51 minutes. Theme of lyrics which were written by Sanam was basically dark social & political critisisms. Among these songs "Judgement Day" & "Access Denied" were popular ones. Some guest musicians asisted the band in Access Denied: classic guitar player Mazdak Sadeghi, Violonist Kiarash Ghorbani. Sanam performed the vocals & Pooyan Madadi played electrical guitar, composed, arranged & programmed the songs and even produced the albums.

Pooya Abbasian was the graphic designer who assisted the band regarding album cover and in designing them the works of art of Pooyan's dad, Mohammad Ali Madadi, was used as the main theme and the name of the band was the impression of on of his paintings aswell. Pooya designed the logo of the band and did the lateral designs too.

Another peak following Access Denied was radio BBC interview with the band in a program called "Children of Revolution" in which the works & struggles of the band and in particular "Funeral" single was discussed and was aired in the first episode of the program.

Performance in Armenia

One month after releasing the debut album, an invitation was received by band from Metal Front Festival in 2008. The headliner of this concert was Melechesh from Netherland, other bands from Iran such as Mordab & Vaspooher were attending aswell. Pooyan once more started attracting musicians in order to perform in the festival and Sanam decided no to attend for security reasons and instead Maral & Arezoo attended as lead & back vocalists respectively. Other members attending in Metal Front were: electrical guitar player Kasra Momeni, bass player Ali Sanaei & drummer Saeed Piltan. The concert was considered a different experience for the band. Upon returning to Iran Maral left the band and Arezoo remained. By proceeding the gigs, working on the second music video was proceeded which was postponed because of the Armenia's performance. In directing this video which was called "5grs, 4th song in the debut album, as opposed to the previous video all members of the band were present. The video was directed by Samad & produced by Pooyan & Samad.

Let's Crush

In this era, Pooyan was insisting on having frequent gigs and during 15 sessions the band covered some songs from Archenemy & composed some of their own's, but once more two members of the band ,Saeed & Arezoo, dropped out and Sanam & Kasra continued as the key members. At this time Pooyan & Sanam started working on the new album called "Let's Crush". As before, in this album Pooyan composed & arranged the songs and Sanam wrote & voiced the songs. The theme of this album included contemporary incidents in Iran in summer of 2009. Before releasing the album, a single called "It's Time to Change" was released and a video was released by an anonymous director. Currently the mix & master phase of the album is done and it is going through the production phase. As the album is being released, Pooyan has decided to work on a DVD in which the whole album tracks will be performed live by band members and all the recording and filming will be done simutaneously as a live project of the new album. These days band members are doing gigs for the live DVD that is going to be released and distributed at the same time as the album.

Rising Sunset - DECRETUM released May 5, 2016

BIOGRAPHY: 

Rising Sunset was founded in 2001 when Carlo Calamatta started a side project as a studio based band. Over the past 15 years the band went through various line-up changes bringing about as many changes in musical direction. Originally it started as a Symphonic Power metal act, producing the first EP ‘RHEMA’ which was followed up with the first full length album ‘EQUINOX’. However Rising Sunset has now embraced a darker and heavier sound in the Gothic realm with a soprano voice together with a male growling/ screaming voices. Members Carlo Calamatta (Guitars & growls), Christa Calamatta (Lead Vocals), Sergio Bellizzi (Drums), Clifford Smith (Bass) and Ian Spiteri (Keyboards) joined forces to produce the third release ‘DECRETUM’ (To be released May 2016). In the interim the band released ‘The Battle of Thermopylae’ as a digital single in order to showcase the new direction. 

Soon after the recording of the 3rd album, Sergio Bellizzi (drums) had to part ways due to work commitments and introduced Frederick Bowman as the new official drummer. Frederick is a versatile musician and matched the style perfectly. During the same period, Joseph Camilleri (Carnivorous Horde) was approached by the members to join as a second guitarist and backing/scream vocals. Joseph is featured on the track “Desert Fathers” (Decretum) for which a Lyric Video was also released. 

Rising Sunset participated in various local Metal Festivals such as Shellshock, Extreme Metal Assault (XMA), Metal over Malta and performed many other gigs. Rising Sunset had also the pleasure to play alongside Draconian, Helevorn, Doomas and Daylight Mysery at Metal over Malta Festival 2015. Currently the band is looking for opportunities to perform overseas with the intent of broadening their musical experience and reach out to their fans in Europe.

RISING SUNSET emerged on the Maltese local scene at the end of 2001, the band has been living in a period of studio recordings, interviews & live performances. 

With every new album RISING SUNSET pushes the boundaries by reinventing their distinctive style, and nothing seems to stop the band on their rise although they had to face various line-up changes. Their motto says it all: 'NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER' 

With their previous album 'EQUINOX', seen by many reviewers as a true milestone in symphonic power metal, RISING SUNSET seemed to have found the perfect musical combination between symphony and metal music. 

This time RISING SUNSET morphed from power metal to Symphonic Gothic Metal and once again raised their hats with their upcoming 3rd album called 'DECRETUM'. Full of old school metal hymns, momentous lyrics, tempo impetuoso, powerful guitar riffing, Christa's soprano voice, and Carlo's growling voice gave another dimension to the songs. Again it is an album which has to brew into the mind of the audience, so make sure to give it a couple of spins to get the whole picture. However, this time around it there is this huge contrasts which make 'DECRETUM' stick out when compared to EQUINOX. 

The upcoming album will take you on a journey through brutal metal, sweet melodies, technical instrumental opuses, orchestration, male and female vocal ranges, solid drumming catchy tunes followed by intricate songwriting. 

All of this is actually an accumulation of individual talent, as RISING SUNSET happens to have some of the finest local musicians around. Sergio Bellizzi, an experienced local drummer in the metal scene, supported by the solidness of bass player Cliff Smith. The old school guitarist and death metal follower Carlo Calamatta as main rhythm/solo guitarist & deep growler. The symphonic and classically oriented keyboardist Ian Spiteri who is also responsible for all the keys arrangements. And last but not least front-woman Christa Calamatta, who has an extremely diverse, unique and enchanting soprano voice. 

The line-up comprises of: 

Christa Calamatta: Main vocals 

Carlo Calamatta: Lead / Rhythm guitars & growl Vox 

Joseph Camilleri: Rhythm guitar & scream vox 

Clifford Smith: Bass guitar 

Ian Spiteri: Keyboards 

Frederick Bowman: Drums

Agonal - Death Defeated January 15th, 2016

Appears on "All Things Christian Extreme Metal Volume 1" with the song "Almighty".

Agonal comes from the Greek word agon which means to struggle. 

The word agonal is usually associated with great pain and relating to that which occurs just before death.

The question is how will you think and what will you do just before your death? The way, 

the truth, and the life will only come through believing in Jesus Christ. 

Agonal was brought to life in the winter of 2010 by Kentuckian Jon Francis. 

The original goal of the project was to create three albums each with a different theme and style. 

This plan came to pass in 2013 with the completion of the trilogy released by Sanctus Gladius Records. 

1. The Scars of Memory 05:12
2. Death Defeated 05:14  
3. Parting Heavens 04:11

10. The Long Forlorn 04:37
11. Sanctified 03:35
12. Søndag 04:04

20016

The album sold out in a matter of weeks. 

With the completion of the trilogy and departure from the record label, songwriting continued. 

The album Death Defeated was released in January 2016. On the new album, 

Finnish singer/songwriter Ville Hämäläinen added his signature sound to the band. 

Death Defeated has elements of doom, black, death, gothic, and even groove metal. 

The album has been described by a long-time fan, Jethro Flack, as, 

"a truly incredible album! It is flipping brilliant! All the composition, structure, and writing is perfect." 

The lyrics and theme of the album are to give the utmost praise and honor to our Father God and to Jesus Christ. 

On the cross Christ defeated the works of the devil, and death and the enemy will ultimately be cast into the lake of fire. 

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

-1 Corinthians 15:55
