ASTAROTH was formed in Rome, Italy.
During its first two years the band played gigs and recorded their first demo tape, which lead to numerous interviews by Italian radio stations, including the Official Italian Network, RAI.
The following year (1985), Astaroth entered into a contractual agreement with the independent Dutch label, RAVE ON Records. Four songs were recorded at Stone Sound Studio, and one song was included in the “Rave On Hits Hard” compilation which also featured Mercyful Fate. Two months later the EP “The Long Loud Silence” was released.
Following the release of “The Long Loud Silence” a promotional tour began through Italy, Switzerland, Holland and Belgium; the European audience was shocked by the band’s unique and powerful style, as well as the tour’s concept. The band’s show is based on the “Ancient Roman” image, electrified to present day times. It features columns, temples and many changes of costume and atmosphere.
Many well-known magazines such as Kerrang” (England), Metal Hammer (Germany), Burnn (Japan), Enfer (France), Aardshok (Holland), Aardshok American (USA), Rockerilla, HM, Metal Shock, Ciao 2001, Tuttifrutti (Italy) gave Astaroth good reviews, and dubbed the band’s style of music “Centurion Metal”.
The EP “The Long Loud Silence” climbed to the top 20 charts of radio stations worldwide. Unfortunately the support of an independent label was too weak to boost the records up the selling charts. Astaroth’s own strong organization made some advancements however, twice performing on Italian television in programs such as “Discoring”, a kind of “Solid Gold” episode seen by million views, as well as opening for the English band Motorhead.
While Italy is famous in the word for pizza, spaghetti and the Coliseum, it is not so famous for its rock music industry. With no real metal market existing, Italian labels are reluctant to produce rock bands. For these reasons, Astaroth left Rave On Records, heading directly to Los Angeles, California.
Along with their earth-shattering sound, Astaroth has brought with them their Roman culture, their intense emotions, and the stamina of the gladiators hoping to find some “heavy” marble to build their new temples!
Welcome to Part II. This was a project dear to my heart. While our main musical outlet is still black metal, all of us are listening to a lot of different genres and I am always fascinated by the emotional impact other forms of music can have on my soul. This is an experiment. To walk outside of the known paths, to search for other means of expression and to look at our songs of “Knochengesänge” from a different angle. We tried to tear everything down to its basic core and to create something new and different from the ruins of these songs. Every tune on this record has its root in Part I, but at least for some of it the ruins were reformed into something completely different. The idea and the feeling at its core are still the same, but the result hopefully gives you a different perspective. We know this record is a challenge. To you, the listeners. But it also was a challenge for us.
Waldgeflüster: Atmospheric. Powerful. Matured.
With powerful riffs and a unique soundscape, paired with intense lyrics, Waldgeflüster has always created an unmistakable closeness to nature and emotion. Matured over the years and after four years of work, a new double album is now available: “Knochengesänge” and “Knochengesänge II”, which is dedicated to the carousel of thoughts on the subject of mortality and legacy. Born from the same DNA and fragments, the two parts take different paths in how they present themselves. Detail-loving and densely composed, Waldgeflüster captivates listeners musically and intellectually, offering the chance to experience the same pieces in different variants — deep, emotional, and powerful.
Forged in São Paulo in 2015, Outlaw was born as a savage roar from the innermost depths of rebellion. A flame long silenced by the fear of men. What began in the heart of Brazil soon transcended its birthplace, relocating to Dresden, Germany, where the band sharpened its craft into a weapon of uncompromising black metal.
Over the past decade, Outlaw has released three full-length albums and one EP, each step a deeper descent into their own path. Their music is steeped in darkness, yet illuminated by a relentless drive to transcend the mundane, channeling fury, devotion, and death into soundscapes that are as violent as they are cathartic.
With the upcoming album Opus Mortis, Outlaw opens a new chapter. It stands as their most ambitious and destructive work to date. An offering that embodies the essence of the band: raw, visionary, and unbound.
‘Ethos’ will be following the critically acclaimed 'Marter,' and stands as a testament to the vibrant dynamics within the German Black Metal Scene.
The album will feature guest performances from J.J. (Harakiri forthe Sky, Karg) and L.G. (Ellende).
Expect to be immersed in a world where melody and chaos collide, where unapologetic riffing and haunting melodies guide you through the shadows of the human condition.
The 35th Anniversary Edition will be released in November 2025 as a marbled LP reissue.
