THE FIRST AHOI-POP ALBUM OF THE WORLD IS HERE!
Freakwaves: For a very long time Freakwaves were regarded as the seaman's thread. While some of these so-called rouge waves made ships manoeuvrable or were hardly a danger for seamen, some among them were particularly feared - as those monster waves were able to swallow an entire ship. VERSUS are back! After receiving rave reviews for the album 'Different Twilight Places' - They released a new record, FREAKWAVES.
FREAKWAVES is not only the world's first AhoiPop album, but is also a musical step forward. The new album FREAKWAVES comes along with a high level of homogeneity, an absolute memorability and excitement. VERSUS keeps again their standards with the new album: no song will be like the other. VERSUS is inextricably linked to AhoiPop. But what is AhoiPop?
AhoiPop stands for catchy melodies, epic hymns, addictive ballads and smart clubhits. AhoiPop stands for honest, poignant and profound lyrics. Simply spoken: AhoiPop is electronic pop music. On FREAKWAVES, VERSUS brings to mind the overwhelming term of 'pop', without denying their own roots from Electro, EBM and Darkwave. Together with the producer Krischan Wesenberg (Rotersand, Homewreckers), VERSUS has created an album, by which they skilfully did the split between club and a cosy sweet home feeling. This record animates you to dance as well as to dream, a mix, which was not expected in its complexity after seven years break.
VERSUS outpaced themselves and have created thirteen wonderful waves full of depth, emotions and authenticity. Five German lyrics lay the message on the line. A special artwork, with loving details will for sure provide lots of discussion, as the features with Vasi Vallis (Frozen Plasma, NamNamBulu), Nils Upahl (Beyond Obsession) and Toby Hartwig (Syntec) will complete the record to a harmonious picture. VERSUS have defied the waves and came to share their stories by their new album. 13 waves put in a nutshell - this is FREAKWAVES.

Who already has opened shows for bands like PARADISE LOST, XANDRIA, LACRIMAS PROFUNDERE or MOONSPELL and who was already managed by the HIM-Promoter Silke Yli-Sirniö, does not have to hide behind big names. At least there is no reason for the greek Gothic-Metal band SADDOLLS to do so.
Since 2006 they enrich the dark world of music and steadily evolved their style since then. After “About Darkness, “Happy Deathday” and “Grave-Party” now the fourth studio album is about to be released! With “Blood of a Kind” the greek musicians again are living things up. Dark Riffs in the style of THE 69 EYES, DEATHSTARS or the early PARADISE LOST form a gauntly beautiful atmosphere made from Gothic, Rock and Metal. Almost conjuring the voice of lead-singer George Downloved levitates above the composition and is digging deep and relentlessly into the hearts and ears of the fans. But also the brains of the listeners are not being spared; it’s not only because SADDOLLS are unleashing Zombies and other undead creatures in their fourth masterpiece, but also because again the lyrics never lose their profundity and never appear flat.
Whoever wanted to witness how puppet-masters even can raise the undead, should definitively not miss “Blood of a Kind”! A great party of a dark kind awaits!

Since the birth of INCORDIA the brothers in arms, marching under the banner of their shieldmaid and frontwoman Kari, continuously strived for more. While their journey started on the small stages of local clubs in front of a handful of bystanders, they soon conquered bigger and bigger venues and festivals, allowing them to share the stage with several well-known bands from the pagan- and extreme-metal-scene.
Just like a hammer smiting steel and letting the anvil tremble, the necks of their fans are shaking when witnessing the amalgamation of merciless melodic-death-metal with legends of the northern lore. Just as it was before, so it will be again when the world bears witness to the release of their second studio album. “The Talon-Elder” once again intertwines the brutality of war with the forlornness and sorrow of those left begin, topped off by stories of the moods of the Aesir. All this comes packed into ten new tracks recorded in the legendary Kohlekeller-Studios. The scourging screams of frontwoman Kari, accentuated by ripping guitar riffs and the deep growls of guitarist Lee bring the atmosphere directly to the listeners homes and lets them witness the mayhem of battle themselves.
The ten tracks of “The Talon-Elder”, including the single “Hymn Of The Asagods”, premiered in 2016, will be released in a premium jewel case with an 8-page booklet. It will be filled with the lyrics to all the songs, combined with evocative drawings by Janosch and Jamaika Rudigier.
