2009 will see Swedish melodic metal masters LION'S SHARE release their new release, "Dark Hours". A natural follow-up to 2007's "Emotional Coma", the band builds on their trademark style they have developed. Crushing guitar work, top flight musicianship combined with melodic vocals and a knack for building songs that consume the listener makes this one of 2009's most anticipated. The line-up of the band again features singer Patrik Johansson (ASTRAL DOORS, WUTHERING HEIGHTS) and bassist Sampo Axelsson (GLENN HUGHES) alongside band mastermind Lars Chriss (guitar) plus session drummers Richard Evensand (CHIMAIRA, SOILWORK, THERION) and Conny Pettersson (ANATA). "Dark Hours" also marks the first LION'S SHARE release on their new label, Blistering Records. Starting with their debut in 1995, LION'S SHARE went on to land a worldwide record contract with Century Media and release "Two", which was hailed as a melodic metal masterpiece. The CD was promoted by a European tour with metal legends SAXON and a follow-up trek with ICED EARTH and NEVERMORE and more dates with SAXON. In 1998 a tour with U.D.O. and additional club gigs in Sweden took place. With the 1999 album "Fall From Grace", LION'S SHARE streamlined its sound towards a tighter, heavier sound without losing any of its melodic sensibility. An appearance at the 1999 Sweden Rock Festival with bands like SCORPIONS, DEEP PURPLE and MANOWAR was followed by a Scandinavian tour in 2000 with DIO, MANOWAR and MOT?RHEAD. The "Entrance" album came out in 2001 on Massacre Records and was supported by a number of headlining shows and yet another appearance at the Sweden Rock Festival. The band returned with 2007's intense "Emotional Coma". 2008's "The Magic Circle Festival" DVD out of the MANOWAR camp features 2 live tracks by LION'S SHARE. As with their previous release, "Dark Hours" also features some splendid guest players, including guitarist Michael Romeo (Symphony X) and drummer Conny Pettersson (Anata). "Dark Hours" was mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Symphony X, Paradise Lost, Amon Amarth) at Fascination Street. Additionally, there will be a video filmed for the track, "Judas Must Die".

Disolvo Animus started as a melodic/symphonic black metal band in 2006. Formed by Animus (vocals, guitars) in Athens, Greece, the band within the same year completed and released its first work titled “Disolvo Animus” (Latin for “Decaying soul/spirit”). Animus then proceeded to find the proper individuals to complete the band’s line-up, in order to pursue live shows and reinforce the band’s presence. In 2007, the band’s second demo, titled “Death’s Ruthless Eyes”, is released and at that time the band hits the stage for the first time.

In 2008, Disolvo Animus plays various live shows around Greece and begin to work on new material.

In 2009, after numerous line-up changes and hardships Disolvo Animus unleashes its most powerful work so far, the “Aleatoric Morte” EP. The recordings, mixing and mastering took place in Sound Symmetry Studios, with Bob Katsionis in charge of the mixing board, while the artwork is designed by Ra.Design.

The band’s current line up is the following;

Dis.Astrous – Vocals (Aenaon, ex-Black Winter, ex-Majeste Simphonia)

Animus – Guitars Enosicqwn – Guitars (Trivial Dogma)

Lycaon – Bass

TheDreamless – Keyboards (Varathron album recordings, ex-Ismini)

Agnus.Dei – Drums(Remnants of Flesh album recordings)

Releases; “Aelatoric Morte” EP - 2009 “Death’s Ruthless Eyes” demo – 2007 “Disolvo Animus” demo – 2006

In the summer of 2004 the two long-time friends Tomas Olsson and Fredrik Bergh decided to go back to their musical roots and start a metal band, they formed BLOODBOUND. A demo was made and shipped off to a bunch of record labels around the world in order to get a record-deal. After a couple of weeks the offers started to drop in and the band was overwhelmed by the great response they had gotten. A record-deal was signed with Metal Heaven for the European territory and with Marquee/Avalon for the Asian territory. In 2005 they started the recordings of their debut album "Nosferatu" which was released in early 2006, and became a big success with top reviews around the world. The album took them on tour playing gigs with bands like Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity, Evergrey, Pretty Maids and Sabaton to name a few. The success of the album also gave them a license deal with Rock Machine Records, Brazil and Mystic Empire, Russia later that year. During the 2006 tour they had some "in and out members" including Kristian Andrön (Wuthering Heights, Memento Mori, Tad Morose), Johan Sohlberg (The Storyteller), Jörgen Andersson (Baltimoore) and Markus Albertson (Seven Sins). At the end of the tour Urban Breed decided to leave the band to focus a 100% on his long planned solo project. After a very turbulent and hectic year they really felt that they needed some stability in the band and asked Tomas' younger brother Henrik Olsson (guitar) and Johan Sohlberg (bass) to join the band as permanent members. This was at the end of the summer of 2006. They accepted and the band started to work on their second studio album "Book of the Dead". The spot as BLOODBOUND's new lead singer was not yet filled and it took the band a while to find a worthy replacement. After a lot of searching and auditioning the band finally decided to go with German born Michael Bormann (Jaded Heart, Bonfire) who joined the band in early January 2007. The album "Book of the Dead" was recorded during January and February 2007 and was released on May 25th, 2007. Book of The Dead was a big success and the band even charted in the official Swedish top 100 album chart at #66! Shortly after the release of "Book of the Dead" the band realized that with Michael's busy schedule it would be impossible to do all the live shows coming up. Urban Breed was asked to stand in and ended up doing all the shows for the tour, and eventually got back with the band as a permanent member! The word of the band had by now started to spread big time and the new album got them on tour with Hammerfall on their "Nights of Glory" European tour and the Hammerfall Ocean Crusade in 2007, which gave them the opportunity to play for a bigger crowd. Joacim Cans, the singer of Hammerfall was deeply impressed with the band and stated in magazine interviews that if Hammerfall ever split up the band he wanted to sing in the most were BLOODBOUND! 2007 also led to playing bigger festivals such as the Sweden Rock Festival. At the end of 2007 the band started to work on their third studio album. While working on the third album the band played at several big festivals during the summer of 2008, one of the highlights in the career of the band was their gig at Masters of Rock in Czech republic in front of 20,000 crazy metal heads! At the end of 2008 the band signed a worldwide deal with Blistering Records. The recordings of the third album "Tabula Rasa" took place in several studios during November and December 2008. The album will be released in early 2009 via BLISTERING RECORDS.
