WHAT THE BLOOD REVEALED - Harbour of devils [2012]
What the Blood Revealed is an instrumental rock band from Irvine on the West Coast of Scotland. We came together in 2004 and have created a sound influenced by such giants of the leftfield as Isis, Neurosis and Mogwai. We find our inspiration in science, and the truths it reveals.
We have released two well received EPs which have found their way to friends in 5 continents and have recently finished recording an album with Ross McGowan (United Fruit, Danananackroyd) which was mastered by Carl Saff in Chicago (Om, Grails, Young Widows). The album comes out in March 2012 on Field Records.

I WAS A COSMONAUT HERO - I was a cosmonaut hero (EP) [2012]
Formé fin 2009 à Besançon, le groupe se compose de cinq musiciens. I WAS A COSMONAUT HERO s'oriente vers une musique sincère, agressive et teintée de mélodies chaotiques. A la croisée du post hardcore et du screamo. Les textes interrogent la vie, les rapports humains et la place de l'individu dans la société. De ce partage est né un son tourmenté, nerveux et abrasif. C'est en 2010 que le groupe monte pour la première fois sur scène et enchaîne quelques dates dans sa région natale aux côtés nottament de Brume Retina ou même Revok. De nombreux projets sont prévus pour 2011/2012 dont la sortie du premier EP en mars 2012 pour conclure ces deux années de travail intensif ainsi que pour aiguiser un post hardcore mélodique et chaotique sur les routes.

CHEMTRAIL - Youth obsessed death culture [2011]
Chemtrail assembled and began constructing songs in the early months of 2006. The musical background of Chemtrail's members is a diverse one. Their resumés boast a history of punk rock, stoner rock, emo and metal bands ... all of which can be be found evident in certain parts of their song writing. Their music contains no vocals; they are an instrumental band whose songs communicate through raw emotion rather than lyrical messages. Loud-quiet-loud, inspirational build-ups and heart-wrenching soundscapes are all constituents of Chemtrail's sound.

OMERTAH - Essence (DEMO) [2012]
Omertah was formed only in late august of 2011 (by former members of Execute My Liberty band), but first thoughts about band's conception and style mixing (djent/atmospheric) cited in year of 2009 by both current guitarists. But their occupation in other musical projects prevented them to collaborate with each other, for more then one demo-track, recorded in 2009.
Years have passed and unnamed forsaken project was renewed. The conception was enhanced with today's trends and first demo was out in september, 2011. After almost half an year band recorded 5 demo-tracks for the upcoming album, which will include 7 tracks in total. It's important to mention, that Omertah is not instrumental project. From the beginning, band has been searching for vocals, but this vacancy is free so far.

Arsiesys is a musical project created in 2010, in Paris, France, by Guillaume Apoc Dessery, founding member of Exilym.

CONDRE SCR - Discography [2006 - 2012]
The instrumental music of Condre Scr is a fusion of contoured rock music, rich textured ambient sounds and crystal clear noise. Haunting harmonies, delicate melodies, fibrous drumming and a sense for subtle drones weave multi-layered soundscapes of gloomy sublimeness. Dense atmosphere seeps out slowly, alternating between hopeful and dark moods.

NAHRAYAN - The Beginning of the End · The End of the Beginning [2012]
"Nahrayan died in 2.006. Now, Julián Velasco (guitars) and Miguel A. Fernández(drums) have decided to resurrect the band, recording 7 songs (one of them unreleased) with a new point of view.
The album is finished and we are finishing the last details to edit a 2Lp in a co-edition with various labels and a cd special limited edition. Maybe in the future with the album edited, we search for new musicians to return to stage...but...who knows...
'The beginning of the end - the end of the beginning' is our new studio album after 6 years. Is a collection of our best songs (in our opinion) with a new lyrical concept, about the Apocalypse of mankind, the death of the Sun and of course, the death of the Earth."
