A new single from the album Back to Life – A Tribute to Goodbye to Gravity was released
8. November 2016
„Rise From The Fallen”, recorded by Matricide from Israel, is a new single from the album Back to Life – A Tribute to Goodbye to Gravity, album that contains Goodbye to Gravity songs recorded by various international bands.
This is a charitable project as all the profits will be donated to the GTG members and families and to the victims from the Colectiv Club tragedy from Bucharest, Romania, happened on October 30th 2015 during the release show of the „Mantras of War” album, when an unexpected fire from the pyrotechnics caused 64 victims (including 4 out of the 5 GTG members) and hundreds of injured ones.
The single can be listened here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvvR_cUMAcc
Matricide declared:
„Our lead singer read a few song lyrics from the album and said he had a connection with this song above all others, and actually the intro of this song sounds quite similar to one of our new songs from our upcoming album. We haven’t heard of the band GOODBYE TO GRAVITY before but after we did, we came to dig their music very much and appreciate and respect them deeply.
This story wasn’t really covered in the Israeli press and media, we heard it through the major metal magazines online just about a day after the incident. This is such a tragedy which is so hard to acknowledge, we felt so sad that this thing could happen so quickly in probably one of the biggest days for the band – “Mantras Of War” album release concert.
We had the chance to play some concerts in Romania and we always felt like home there, we have a true connection with this country and the Romanian crowd. Our hearts goes to Romania and all the people who lost their lives and their families in this terrible tragedy. This is so heartbreaking, we want to pay our condolences to the band members family and friends and wish them that they would never see sorrow again, and may their souls rest in peace.
Love,
Matricide Family.”
The song was recorded and mixed by Daniel Strosberg in Keoss Studios, Tel Aviv, Israel and mastered by Luculescu Alin Gabriel.

INVISIBLE MIRROR SIGN WITH WORMHOLEDEATH
8. November 2016
We are proud to announce that Invisible Mirror (Heavy Metal from Switzerland) have signed a deal with Wormholedeath for the worldwide release of their album “On the Edge of Tomorrow”.
Ricky Bonazza statement:
“It‘s been a hell of a ride! We really took all the time necessary to work out every detail on the album, to make it sound just the way it‘s supposed to. It wasn‘t always easy but when I‘m listening to it now, it‘s exactly how we have envisioned it and beyond.
We‘re really proud of the result. I think it‘s a very versatile album, very musical, almost like a journey because we combine so many different music elements. Our goal was to keep everything natural and organic, there‘s this rawness that makes the record breathe and that‘s also how it was mixed.
There are literately no drum samples, triggers or anything like that, all real sounds, all natural. The way we‘ve recorded it makes it sound very dynamic and also adds a certain live feel to it. Kind of a modern/vintage record. Our motto in the studio was „feeling and emotions“. I think we have accomplished that.”
“On the Edge of Tomorrow” was produced by Connie Andreska (former Mystic Prophecy) and Dani Löble (Helloween).
“On the Edge of Tomorrow”
- Frozen River
- Strike Back
- Different Ways
- Believe
- Conspiracy of Minds
- Life of a Stranger
- Hungry for Love
- On the Edge of Tomorrow
- Beyond the Sky
- The loner
Digital release date: 20th January 2017 (Wormholedeath/The Orchard)
U.S.A: 17th February 2017 (Wormholedeath U.S.A)

Classic rock music that’s fun and goes directly into your leg and neck muscles, with provocative lyrics which fully live up to the inherent mission of this musical genre. The self-appointed ambassadors of uncompromising and diverse power rock call themselves AC Angry, hail from Saarbrücken and are ready to present their second album on Steamhammer/SPV.
Four musicians, one philosophy: kick ass! “We were absolutely happy with our debut Black Denim, but we knew we could do better and top it with our second release,” vocalist/guitarist Alan Costa reckons, obviously proud of the band’s latest achievement.
“You can tell that we toured a lot in the past three years and the energy and experience from countless concerts have influenced our songwriting.”
Appetite For Erection is scheduled for release on 25 November 2016, without doubt a red-letter day for all aficionados of handmade rock’n’roll!…
