Prey For Nothing was forged in the flame of progressive metal gone dire. At the beginning, Amir (bass), Yaniv (guitars) & Iftah (drums) met under the musical roof of dissolved Prog Metal band DamnNation. In the early 2000s they played numerous shows, including legendary Iron Maiden singer Paul Dianno, and released a self-printed album called "Mentally Trapped" in 2004. Iftah left for one year of studying in the Musical Academy of Los Angeles, USA, and DamnNation was no more. But as he returned a year later, a new metal act came to be. Now known as Prey For Nothing, the...

What is the relevance of pop music today? How do bands reinvent the three-minute pop song without coughing up the ghosts of its long history or morphing it into an unrecognisable mess? Perth indie phantasms The Preytells have a way. When they hit the scene in 2005 they experienced a quick, intense wave of success. Since then, instead of pursuing their early favour like desperate careerists, they decided to hit and run. Over the following years The Preytells hunkered down for months at a time, coming up only when they had something to show for themselves. Debut EP Could I...

1) Prey is a gothic rock/metal band from Groningen, The Netherlands. Prey arose from the ashes of Immortalized in 1999. The band released their first promo "Fly to…" in the second half of 2001. It was recorded in one take, home-produced, and burned onto CD-ROM. The response to these 18 minutes of blood, sweat and tears was tremendous. "Fly to…" sold out in a matter of months. It was never re-released, because Prey has been through several line-up changes since then, and these recordings no longer represent what Prey stands for now. Prey has developed a very diverse repertoire, inspired...

Upon returning from a European tour late in 2006, Ballast promptly broke up. 3/5th of the band would continue to play together and soon would form PREYING HANDS including new members whose previous efforts included Montreal bands Snake Master, Desperate Living and Last Days. The sound seamlessly blends an odd combination of crust, melodic hardcore and a touch of pop punk. The powerful female vocals, that lyrically combine the personal with the political, complete an intense picture. Production was handled on this debut effort by Mark Lawson (Arcade Fire, weird...) at the Pines and mastered at Mammoth Sound by Dan...

Birds Of Prey is a southern metal super group featuring Erik Larson (Alabama Thunderpussy, Ex-Avail), Bo Leslie (THE LAST VAN ZANT,Ex-THROTTLEROD), Summer Welch (BARONESS), Ben Hogg (BEATEN BACK TO PURE) and Dave Witte (MUNICIPAL WASTE, BURNT BY THE SUN, DISCORDANCE AXIS). These heavy rock warriors deliver blow after punishing blow of unbelievably heavy, "rocking" old-school death metal on their first ever recording Weight of the Wound. If "death and roll" went horribly right, Weight of the Wound would be its Reign In Blood. No keyboards, no breakdowns, no pretense and no bullshit, BIRDS OF PREY are fans of metal making...
