Én af de stærkeste profiler på den danske metal-scene, DAWN OF DEMISE, udsender endelig den længeventede opfølger til debuten fra 2008, "Hate Takes Its Form" - og igen er det det uafhængige amerikanske label Deepsend Records (Target Distribution), der står bag udgivelsen.

Med kirurgisk præcision og tonsende tyngde tilførte DAWN OF DEMISE med "Hate Takes its Form" en helt ny kant til dansk death metal. På albummet formåede bandet at kombinere en kraftfuld lyd, brutalitet og ligefrem aggression som lige nøjagtigt kategoriserer DAWN OF DEMISE.

Bandet har haft en uhyre høj live-aktivitet, bl.a. i form af landsdækkende tours med Hatesphere og As We Fight samt gæsteoptrædener med store internationale bands som Suffocation, Nile, Six Feet Under, Deicide og Exodus. Størstedelen af disse live-aktiviteter var endda før bandet overhovedet havde udsendt et album og på den måde er en overordentlig solid fanbase blevet bygget op de seneste par år. Den ultimative understregning af dette var den brugerbestemte kåring som årets "Bedste Live Band" ved Danish Metal Awards 2007 foran navne som Volbeat, Hatesphere og Mercenary.

Deres tighte live-performance og scene-løjer fik Roskilde Festival at opleve i 2009 og netop nu har bandet succesfuldt overstået Danmarks største karavane for metal-musik, nemlig HEADBANGERS BALL TOUR, hvor de gæstede det meste af landet med artsfællerne i Illdisposed og Hatesphere.

D. 19 januar 2010 udsendes opfølgningsalbummet "A Force Unstoppable" world wide - og d. 8 februar i Danmark - som perfektionerer bandets udtryk yderligere og ganske givet cementerer bandets position herhjemme. Albummet er indspillet i CB Studios med Christian Bonde bag knapperne, som har givet bandet en mere rå lyd end tidligere. Derfor drager DAWN OF DEMISE på tour i hele landet i april og maj.

Denmark has always been a reliable source of first-class thrash metal and The Kandidate substantiates this statement more than ever with their debut "Until We Are Outnumbered". Screamer Jacob Bredahl (ex HateSphere) and crew show the metal community just how it is done with high-velocity riffs, murderous grooves, furious leads, and rock-hard drumming crowned by merciless vocals. The Kandidate delivers a thrash metal inferno able to supply the genre with newfound energy. The tracks on "Until We Are Outnumbered" rage unabated, free of supurfluous embellishment, and will surely provide for a cherished dose of neckpain. In short, thrash metal followers will love this album!

Brutal, aggressive and catchy are keywords when it comes to Danish death metallers THE CLEANSING. The Copenhagen based quintet combine intense and unique melodies with both old school and modern death metal elements. Inspired by bands such as Morbid Angel, Hate Eternal and Immolation, THE CLEANSING have perfected their own devastating style of death metal. Performed with almost surgical precision and with a clear yet heavy and intense production thanks to Danish metal producer JACOB HANSEN (Aborted, Yyrkoon, Destruction, The Arcane Order etc.) THE CLEANSING have spawned an album that will appeal to both death metal fans and metal heads in general!

The members of THE CLEANSING are no strangers to the Danish death metal scene. Guitarists Andreas Lynge, Jeppe Hasseriis and vocalist Toke Eld have all been members of USIPIAN and founded THE CLEANSING after Usipian split-up in early 2007. Drummer Morten Løwe is known for his work with SUBMISSION, THE ARCANE ORDER and has done session jobs for SOILWORK and SCARVE among others. Bass player Martin Rosendahl is best known as the vocalist/bass player for CORPUS MORTALE and has also been a member of Danish death metal legends INIQUITY.
