Past festivals: Dawn Of Doom 2 14. & 15.11.08 - Ziegelei, Einsiedeln (SZ) Metal Inferno V Once more, Metal Inferno in Lenzburg was worth any journey: THRESHOLD, Triosphere, Kharma, Polution and battle winner Angry Bastard delivered the goods well and excellently. We are proud, in particular, to support "our" new discovery, Angry Bastard , by now stocking their first EP, Night On Fire, in our Metal Mailorder store! Also available now: the debut album by Sin Starlett, Call To The Punisher: old-school metal! True As Steel This year's True As Steel Festival 08 was excellent again and profitted greatly from it's new location at the Gaswerk, Winterthur, where we set up shop for the second time. Martin and his team did an outstanding job in selecting the bands, setting up the perfect stage for the event and being absolutely on time throughout the evening. - Thank you very much for letting us be part of this! |

| Secondhand Child did it! The music video of their song Going Postal is included on the newly-released DVD Postal (Director's Cut). The band had cut the video from the movie footage and had more than 14, 000 views on YouTube so far. That must've made it an easy choice for the director, Uwe Boll, to add the music video as a bonus feature on the DVD! Going Postal on YouTube. | ![]() |

| Secondhand Child go Postal! First there was a computer game entitled Postal. Based on this, a movie was made. And now, in all splattering glory, Secondhand Child turned this movie into a very strange and very darn good music video for their new track, Going Postal. Watch it here . |
| . |
Thunder-X have released their first album, Pictures Of A Broken World, last Saturday. It’s a rocker with an emotional tinge to it. Listen to some extracts on the band’s myspace page or order the CD in our mailorder . While there, look also for other new additions by Anthrax, Crown of Glory, Eluveitie, Gonoreas, King Diamond, Merciful Fate, Slayer. |

| This is hardly metal, but an achievement for a QLR band nonetheless: The Sparkling Diamonds will perform at the Prix Walo celebrations on Sunday, April 20. Swiss citizens can watch their short performance shortly after 8.30 p.m. on StarTV. Hey, at least Gotthard are on the same billing! |
