The releasedate for the 3rd quarter is now set. We will release 2 albums, which we already announced some time ago.
We start with CROM, the name of the album is "Vengeance". Musically you can expect Epic/Viking Metal in vein of BATHORY'S "Hammerheart", "Twilight of the gods" and "Blood on Ice". It has been created by Walter "Crom" Grosse, which is known as ex-guitarist of one of Germanys most known Black Metal Bands, DARK FORTRESS.
Album Nr. 2 was created by the Iranians ANGBAND. It has been "baptized" to the name "Rising from Apadana". The early albums of ICED EARTH and DEPRESSIVE AGE you can take as the musical direction. Although the unusual homecountry (for a metalband), guitarist/bassist Mahyar Dean is not unknown in the scene. Some people might know him as the author of the official bandbiographies of DEATH and TESTAMENT. I think it is unnecessary to mention that the situation for the band is not the easiest in Iran, because any kind of Heavy Metal is forbidden there. So it's a special pleasure and honor for us to provide a platform to the guys, which probably no Iranian metalband got up to this day.
Both albums will be available on 29th August.

Arkeyn Steel Records
Proudly presents another release of fine Power / Prog Metal:
DEAD CALM - "No Way Out"
(Limited Edition 1000 Hand numbered CDs)
Dead Calm from Ottawa, Canada released back in 1991 a limited -in 1000 copies only- LP tape called "No Way Out" including 9 tracks of magnificent Power / Prog Metal in the vein of old Queensryche / Lethal / Hittman. The musical trademarks of Dead Calm are with no doubt the unbelievable vocals (ala Tate / Malicoat), the powerful riffing and the brilliant guitar leads that are enforcing their music with a special touch of strange and beautiful steel.

Here are the latest news from PURE STEEL RECORDS :
''' Hi folks,
here are the latest news from us.
As somebody already read on our homepage or in different forums, we signed a cooperation deal with the italian label Cruz del Sur. As first works of this cooperation we will release CRESCENT SHIELD "The last of my kind" and PHARAOH "The longest Night" on vinyl. We are putting all resources on it to be ready at the KIT X, on which both bands will play. To guarantee the best possible sound quality both records will be released as double vinyl in gatefold cover due to their length.
Additionally we got the rights to release all 4 albums of the US-Metalheads SEASONS OF THE WOLF on vinyl. However until the release of these some time will pass.
For 2 of the upcoming CD-Releases a releasedate is stated now. IVORY TOWER "Subjective Enemy" and AGAMENDON "Nuclear Rodeo" will be availbale in stores on 9th may 2008. Additionally the releaseparty of AGAMENDON will be on 19th april in the Matrix, Bochum. '''
