Stories about Metal bands

Vixenta is a 2-man Atmospheric/Post Black Metal band from Brisbane, Australia. Formed in 2010 by B. as a one man band, Vixenta quickly grew to a full lineup with a consistent DSBM/Atmospheric style releasing «A Moment In Solace» and «Predation» between 2012-2014 before culminating in a live show before reverting to a solo project. The band had surfaced in 2018 with a remaster of all of their material as a teaser and in preparation for a new album with the arrival of vocalist Moosh & session drummer Tim Yatras. Vixenta released Polarity in August 2021 to positive reception. The band is currently working on a split with Vietnamese Melodic Black Metal trio Elcrost due out early September.

Forsaken Legion is a Swiss Black metal band from Lugano formed in 2012; its first lineup featured Krasta and Tifeo as guitarists, A. as bass player, Andy as drummer and Anhell as vocalist. The band’s name aims to glorify those mighty warriors that fight epic timeless battles. Their lyrics are defined by an aggressive narration inspired by the great contemporary philosophy current as nihilism and existentialism; the purpose of this choice is to offer hermetic contents through a perpetual feeling of conflict. Forsaken Legion possesses an individual compositional identity despite the influences from historic bands like Immortal, Tsjuder and Dissection. Their sound evokes mostly the great Scandinavian Black metal classics by featuring their tracks with violent and epic riffs and changing rhythms that create a tormented harmony. In their first year of activity, Forsaken Legion released their first fulllength titled “Seeds of Black Dawn”, consisting of seven Black metal tracks with Death metal influences. 2014 marks a year of mutations in the line-up, as Anhell (vocals) and Andy (drums) leave the band. During this arc of time some of the band members started two parallel Black metal projects like “Akasha”, with Krasta as drummer and Tifeo as guitarist, and “Preachers of Heresy” with Tifeo as guitarist. In 2016 Warmaster Kron joined Forsaken Legion as drummer and Krasta became also vocalist. In 2019 Forsaken Legion released their second full-length album titled “Bloodline”, featuring eight tracks marked by a change in their rhythmics and themes. In 2021 Forsaken Legion begin its collaboration with “Ocularis Infernum Booking&Promotion”, an organization that promotes the activities of the band. The band is currently working on the release of their third full-length and are ready to go back on stage.
