Altered Rebirth

Have you ever wondered what it would sound like if your dreams had a soundtrack? The German metalcore band "Altered Rebirth" definitely provide an answer, fusing wonderful cinematic atmospheres and dreamy melodies with a horrifying brutality to create a heavenly nightmare that you'll never get tired of. 2024 saw the release of their debut EP "Reaching Moonlit Salvation", with which they quickly enchanted listeners all over Germany with their unique soundscapes. They round it all off with incomparable guitar playing and lyrics from the deepest, darkest corners of the mind to draw everyone deep into their world. It's something you can't escape from... don't want to escape - Stay until dawn in this eternal night.

Third Wave

THIRD WAVE are one of those bands whose popularity is currently still far below their potential. Founded in 2015, the band plays modern metal without pandering to current trends. Sure, every band claims that - but their debut album "How To Live Or Let Die" already showed that the quintet is going its own creative way. Of course, THIRD WAVE are not free of influences either, but their approach of adding metalcore influences, catchy rock moments and a certain progressive touch to their modern sound works perfectly. Their second album "Metamorphosis" shows a dynamic and varied rollercoaster of emotions in every song: powerful parts are juxtaposed with soulful moments, a fresh and playful moodiness meets serious mosh pit attacks - that's THIRD WAVE 2019! The band's history began as a jam between friends. They made music together and quickly developed a certain ambition. THIRD WAVE sought professional support for the production of their debut album and the result led to praise from the press and several stage shows, including supporting US metallers BATTLECROSS. For their second album, they returned to Secret Soul Studio and Kohlekeller Studio to work with Sven Schornstein and Kai Stahlenberg to create the right sound framework for eleven diverse songs. The result is impressive and in no way inferior to professional productions. However, THIRD WAVE leave nothing to chance and have consciously decided to keep the reins completely in their own hands for the release of "Metamorphosis" - and the result proves them right!
