BAEST is a powerhouse of old school metal. Influenced by the genres heroes, BAEST bring their own style to Extreme metal. From Death Metal to progressive epics, they bring a thunderous liveshow with no compromise. Following their latest full lenght Necro Sapiens, their new EP ‘Justitia’ is out now on Century Media. Just one year after their recent album release “Necro Sapiens” Danish Death Metal powerhouse BAEST are back by announcing their 2022 EP “Justitia”. Including five brand- new tracks the band picks up on where they left off with “Necro Sapiens” and recorded another old school Death Metal masterpiece. Justitia marks a powerful statement from BAEST. It fusions an old school melodic sound of Scandinavian heavy metal, with the crushing brutality of the early pioneers of death metal. The EP showcases the bands own unique brand of death metal, developed with an organic feel from the intense songwriting sessions, and the live recordings from Lundgaard Studios, with Andreas Linnemann behind the knobs once more. While going further into their own territory, the band chose to bring on some heavy guts to the vocal party - featuring vocalists Trevor Strnad (The Black Dahlia Murder) and Sven Caluwe. Justitia marks a new repulsive and progressive age of BAEST. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 BLAST OPEN is a heavy metal combo from Asturias formed in 2008 by seasoned musicians from the Asturian metal scene. In 2010, after they released their first two songs in demo format, “Lost” and “Bad to Worse”, recorded at Eclipse studios by Daniel Sevillano, the band began to be present at concerts, sharing the stage with bands such as Vicious Rumors, Primal Fear or Havok.

In October 2011 they began producing the songs for their debut album entitled “They Destroy Our World” (2012), whose recording was carried out at Dynamita Studios, with Dani G. in charge of the recording, mixing and mastering. They started the album’s presentation participating in Summer festivals with bands like Crisix, Evile, Mnemic, Vita Imana or Teksuo, and in November, in conjunction with the band XXX from Valladolid, they put on their shared presentation tour "Dementia Destroys Our World", performing in different Spanish cities.

In order to support the album and tour, they published the videoclip of the song "Blinded", made by the agency ThrashWay, and they took part in the W:O:A Metal Battle Spain 2013, qualifying for the final held in Molins de Rey, thanks to their powerful and intense live act. "Human Shield" was chosen to be included in the CD "Grand Sounds Promotion Vol.3", a compilation of songs from metal bands which was distributed worldwide. During 2013 they closed the album presentation tour and ended the year performing at Mutant Fest and Killed by Death II festivals, along with bands such as Darksun, Posession, Human or Avulsed.

For their new album, the band decided to go back to working at Dynamita Studios where they recorded “Beyond the Hope” in 2016, a self-published work distributed by Santo Grial Records, and supported by an extensive tour throughout Spain.

"Beyond The Hope" is a new musical blast with fast and hard songs, transmitting the energy that the band offers in their live shows. Both the cover and booklet designs were created by Belén Lobeto. In support of their new work, they published a lyric video for the song "The Roots of Evil", made by Zelia Lorences and Pablo Bermejo, and performed by Marlene Redondo Tuñón.

In addition to their live performances, they also received recognition for their album: Top 10 Best National Albums of 2016, voted by the audience of the radio show “Diario de un Metalhead”; editor Pablo Folgueira’s, from MetalCry zine, National Top 10 and nominated for “Best Rock Album” at the Amas Awards in 2017.

Mercyful Fate is a heavy metal band from Copenhagen, Denmark. The band was formed by vocalist King Diamond and guitarist Hank Shermann in 1981. The original MF line-up shared members with another Copenhagen band, Danger Zone, whom Diamond and Shermann were helping out. Influenced by progressive rock and hard rock, and with lyrics dealing with Satan and the occult, Mercyful Fate were part of the first wave of black metal in the early to mid-1980s. Many of the bands from this movement went on to influence later black metal musicians in the 1990s, particularly in Norway. Mercyful Fate are widely considered one of the originators of the black metal sub-genre. By 1982, the "classic" Mercyful Fate line up of Diamond, Shermann, guitarist Michael Denner (ex-Brats and Danger Zone), bassist Timi "Grabber" Hansen (Danger Zone), and drummer Kim Ruzz was in place. Over the next couple years, the band would release an EP and 2 LPs that would cement their reputation as one the most influential metal bands of the early 1980s. King Diamond's blasphemous lyrics and theatrical stage presence would have many label the band as part of the 1st wave of black metal, although musically the band was closer to the style of Judas Priest or Iron Maiden. The group split in 1985, as Shermann decided he wanted to pursue a more commercial direction. King Diamond launched a solo career, taking Denner and Hansen with him, while Kim Ruzz disappeared into the regular world.

The band's legend continued to grow after their split. In 1993, the classic line up, minus Kim Ruzz, reformed for a new album, "In The Shadows". Hansen dropped out after that release but the group continued on throughout the 1990s. At the same time, King Diamond kept his own solo career going. Michael Denner left the band after 1996's "Into The Unknown" and Diamond and Sherman continued on with new players. 1999's "9" is, to date, the band's last full-length release. King Diamond has stated that MF has not split up but the band is on hold for the foreseeable future. In 2009, Diamond, Shermann, Denner, Hansen, and drummer Bjarne Holm (who has played with the group since 1994) reunited to re-record the songs "Evil" and "Curse Of The Pharoah" for the "Guitar Hero: Metallica" video game.

In 2019, the group announced they would be playing a series of live dates. The line up would include Diamond, Sherman, Wead, Holm, and bassist Joey Vera (filling in for Timi Hansen, who was battling cancer). Timi Hansen lost his battle with cancer on November 4th, 2019.
