Semargl "Attack On God"

Semargl started out playing a mixture of black and death metal but drastically changed their sound in 2011/2012 towards a less extreme style. They subsequently dubbed their newfound sound, "Satanic pop metal". The group also started using stage dancers for their live performances around that time as well.

Other than what's documented below, Semargl also recorded two demos that predate the debut album Attack on God, however, the second demo never saw a release.

Sear Bliss "The Haunting"

Sear Bliss is a Hungarian atmospheric black metal band from Szombathely, formed in 1993 by bassist, vocalist and now also keyboardist András Nagy. Apart from the usual heavy metal instruments they adopted synthesizer and wind instruments (like trumpet and trombone sometimes flute) in their songs. The Netherlands' leading metal magazine, Aardschok awarded Sear Bliss debut album Phantoms the title of "CD Of The Month". It was the first (and only) time in the magazine's history that the award went to a black metal album.

Sear Bliss has earned a reputation in the European metal underground with their unique black metal albums released by independent record labels like Mascot Records, Red Stream and recently Candlelight Records. Sear Bliss shared the stage with bands Marduk, Tsatthoggua, Mortiis, Tormentor, Skyforger, Immolation and Malevolent Creation.

After four months of studio work, the longest session ever in their career, the sixth Sear Bliss album was released on September 24, 2007. Critically acclaimed The Arcane Odyssey was awarded "Album of the Month" by some magazines (i.e. Zero Tolerance) and was also high ranked by Kerrang, Terrorizer, Heavy Oder Was and Rock Hard magazines in Europe. The album was elected for "Album of the Year" on the Hungarian Metal Awards in 2007.

Sear Bliss played their first European tour supporting Marduk in February–March 1997. After finishing the tour the Csejtei brothers left the band and Winter also got out soon afterwards. Recruited new members were Zoltán Schönberger on drums and Viktor "Max" Scheer on guitar, furthermore keyboards were taken over by trumpeter Szűcs. The next album had been recorded at Beaufort Studio, Netherlands, but the band was disappointed with the first version of the mix and it had to be remixed.

The Haunting (1998) became a more atmospheric and varied album in contrast to the fast black metal tracks of the Phantoms album. The Haunting disappointed some old fans, but it appealed to new enquirers. The opportunity to tour for three weeks with the Norwegian melodic black metal band Ancient and promote the new album in Europe had come to nothing because of the private activities of Sear Bliss members in school and job. However, they celebrate their 5th anniversary with a birthday party in Budapest.

By releasing The Haunting album Sear Bliss fulfilled the Mascot contract, so a new label needed to be found. To support the search they recorded a 4-song promo CD in March 1999. But other member changes followed. Previously they parted with guitarist Viktor Scheer, then founding member/guitarist Barbarics and long-time trumpeter/keyboardist Szűcs quit due to personal conflicts within the band. In that time Sear Bliss played live with fill-in musicians, and only founding member Andras Nagy and drummer Schönberger were officially in the band. A new guitarist Andras Horváth P. would join Sear Bliss soon.

Scorpions "Rock Believer (2022, 2CD, Vertigo Records, Deluxe edition, Digisleeve)"

Rock Believer es el décimo noveno álbum de estudio de la banda alemana de hard rock y heavy metal Scorpions, donde fue lanzado el 22 de febrero de 2022 en Europa y el 25 de febrero en América del Norte.​ Este fue el primer álbum de estudio de la banda con el baterista Mikkey Dee, quien reemplazó a James Kottak en 2016, y su primer álbum de estudio en siete años desde Return to Forever (2015), lo que lo convierte en la brecha más larga entre álbumes de estudio.

Scorpions estuvo de gira durante más de un año en apoyo de Return to Forever, donde la banda celebró su 50 aniversario, y unos tres meses antes de que terminara el ciclo de la gira del álbum en diciembre de 2016, el baterista James Kottak fue despedido de la banda y Mikkey Dee fue anunciado oficialmente como su reemplazo.​ Scorpions estuvo de gira durante otros tres años, y un álbum de seguimiento de la banda era incierto, hasta agosto de 2018 cuando el guitarrista Rudolf Schenker expresó interés en grabar otro álbum y le dijo al Digital Journal: "Todavía estamos esperando un momento de inspiración para hacer otro álbum, como lo hicieron Judas Priest y Metallica. Tienes que esperar hasta que sea el momento adecuado".​ En mayo de 2019, el líder Klaus Meine declaró que "podría haber un nuevo álbum en 2020".

El progreso en Rock Believer fue lento durante más de dos años, con sesiones de escritura que comenzaron a mediados de 2019,​ y las sesiones de grabación iniciales comenzaron en julio de 2020 en Peppermint Park Studios en Hanover.​ Se suponía que las sesiones tendrían lugar en Los Ángeles, pero la pandemia de COVID-19 significó que la banda grabaría el álbum de forma remota en Alemania, con la participación del productor Greg Fidelman a través de Zoom.​ Sin embargo, en una entrevista de marzo de 2021 con Robb Flynn de Machine Head, Dee reveló que Scorpions se vio obligado a desechar los planes para trabajar con Fidelman debido a la pandemia.​ Cinco meses después, Scorpions publicó un video en Facebook desde el estudio donde ensayaban una canción aún sin título para una próxima gira.

El 29 de septiembre de 2021, la banda anunció el lanzamiento de Rock Believer con el primer sencillo "Peacemaker", que se lanzó el 4 de noviembre, así como una gira mundial, programada para comenzar con nueve conciertos consecutivos en marzo de 2022 en Las Vegas, Nevada.
