 Based in Melbourne, Australia, Thrash metal band Mason delivers commanding performances throughout the National and International Metal scene. Drawing influence from The Big Four and The Bay Area, Mason encapsulates the 80′s thrash sound mixed with fast tempos and a dominating rhythm section. The band continue to crush audiences across the globe with their driving force and energetic stage presence, creating a powerful fan base.

In 2011 Mason released their self titled EP, followed by their debut album, ‘Warhead’ in 2013 which features ten tracks including guest guitarist Jeff Loomis from Arch Enemy, Nevermore and Various Solo albums.

The band proceeded with National tours of Australia including support slots with Havok and Accept, then shortly after supported Revocation to kick off the first show of their highly successful 2014 Asian tour, leaving audiences wanting more.

Not sparing a minute, Mason jumped straight back into the studio to record their second release, ‘Unmerciful’, released in 2016. ‘Unmerciful’ is the perfect follow up, showcasing the band’s ability to fuse fast, aggressive metal and melodic guitar work that will captivate and reinforce Mason ’s stronghold on a global level.

 Evil Invaders is Speed/Thrash Metal band from Belgium that was formed in 2007 in the city of Leopoldsburg by Jöe Anus (vocals & guitar) and his cousin Agent Stavröz. It was very easy to find a drummer. Because one of Jöe's best friends of him was a drummer. And that's how Speedfreak Frey got involved with the band. After a year of just jamming, drinking and covering, they found a bassist. Steve Tomsin joined the band and from that moment they decided to call it "Evil Invaders". The name was borrowed from the Razor song of the same name. Founding member Johannes "Joe" Van Audenhove is now the only remaining original member, by 2009 a first cast had been found. They had their first gig in January 2009. But after all the gigs done in 2009 they kicked Tomsin out because he was a total poser and we couldn't count on him! A few days later their maniacal friend and huge Evil Invaders fan, Stringking Pussymagnet Alain joined the band.

 The band formed in 2004 when John Laux and Victor Mikhaltsevich met during high school. They shared a strong common interest in heavy metal and began writing instrumental songs together. Eventually Victor introduced John Kevill to Laux as the new vocalist and immediately a strong creative partnership was forged. Originally they had named the band Onslaught but changed their name after realizing that there is a band using the same name. Nothing had been recorded and released while they had used the name. They soon recruited Andy Laux as the bassist and Evan Reiter as drummer. A few weeks later Reiter left and was replaced by Adam Carroll whom Kevill had met opening as a guitarist in a local band at a Metal Church show.

The band finally had a solid line up in place and had adopted the name Warbringer after attempting to combine "War" as a prefix to a variety of words. They recorded a four-song demo in 2004 that was never released. It is the only recording with Victor Mikhaltsevich in the band. Due to creative differences the band decided to seek out another guitar player. Emilio Hoschet soon joined the band, and in 2005 they self-financed the Born of the Ruins demo. Copies were handmade and passed out for free at local shows.

A local thrash revival scene started expanding and growing around the L.A. area. Thanks to word of mouth, organic promotion, and social networking sites, a lot of young promoters began booking shows with exclusively traditional metal bands. Eventually bands in the scene were playing sold-out shows on the Sunset Strip. Smaller labels became interested in the scene and Heavy Artillery Records had asked a number of upcoming thrash bands to contribute to a various artist compilation Speed Kills...Again. The release was delayed until 2007.

Ryan Bates joined Warbringer early in 2006 as the band's new drummer after Adam Carroll had left on a hiatus from Warbringer and Zombie.

In 2006 the band also finished the One By One, the Wicked Fall demo which was self-financed and recorded at Love Juice Labs. The original pressings were handmade, but the band eventually opted to have them printed more professionally. The EP was sent out to a number of different labels and magazines. The EP was very successful and was met with many positive reviews. Warbringer began to move up in the local roster and open for larger bands. Emilio Hoschet parted ways with the band early in 2007, and brought in former member Adam Carroll as a temporary guitarist. The band opened shows for bands like Obituary, Atheist and Repulsion.

In 2007 Warbringer signed with Century Media Adam Carroll decided to rejoin Warbringer full-time and made contributions to the music on War Without End as a drummer and guitarist.
