Tengger Cavalry brings an unusual touch to the metal world with their unique brand of Mongolian Folk Metal, and now they’ve signed with M-Theory Audio, a recently launched label by Marco Barbieri, former president of Century Media Records and Nuclear Blast America. The exotic sounds of the band, featuring founder Nature Ganganbaigal employing Ancient Mongolian throat-singing and several native instruments, including the Morin Khuur (an ancient fiddle), the Tovshuur (a Mongolian guitar) and the Mongolian flute, shows just why they’ve sold out dates along two headlining tours with over six studio releases under their belt. Barbieri says of the band, “Tengger Cavalry is one of the most unique new bands, and I’ve been impressed how Nature Ganganbaigal and the group developed themselves to this point independently. By teaming up with an old friend, Dawn Robinson, as management and now working with us at M-Theory Audio, I’m excited by the upward possibilities the future holds and the fun and breakthroughs possible with their themes and great music”. In light of the signing, the band is recording their fifth full-length album to be released in June, followed by a five-week North American tour and performances at several European summer festivals.

Sabaton has been on the road around the world in light of The Last Stand, their most recent studio record that hit #1 in the Swedish Top 20 Rock Charts. They’re also holding records in 3 other positions in the charts, and the impressive level of album sales they’ve achieved has paid off in the form of Gold and Platinum plaque awards. The Last Stand hit #6 worldwide and #1 in Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, and Germany among others. On March 4, the band was honored with golden plaques for The Last Stand’s sales in the Czech Republic at Tipsport Arena, Prague. Bassist Pär Sundström commented: “This is proof of two things – first, that we are still able to make music that fans want to listen to, and second, that we have fantastic fans who really care. Sure, the current tour is called “The Last Tour”, but as long as it is going like this we’ll be going strong for a long time.” The Last Stand is available on the Nuclear Blast Webstore and digitally as well. Next month will see the band on the road alongside Leaves’ Eyes and Battle Beast, starting on April 20^th in PA, spanning the spring with even more dates on the way.

With roots throughout Western Europe and some hard-hitting extreme metal to unleash, Implore is one of the latest additions to Century Media Records. The Berlin-based trio has been spreading their genre-blending Death Metal across the world since they formed in 2013, and they’ve got many a major festival under their belts, as well as over 200 live shows gaining fans in the brutal death metal, grindcore, hardcore, and crust punk genres, to name a few. Some EPs and demos have helped to do the job of spreading the word about Implore, alongside their debut full-length Depopulation from two years back on Pelagic Records. But now, their second full-length and first album on Century Media Records will make for a whole new listening experience showcasing a band that’s even stronger and more focused than ever before. September 22^nd, 2017 is the release date for Subjugate, in cooperation with Pelagic Records, and further details will be revealed in the near future. In the meantime, a new video has been released, featuring Implore’s performance at Summer Breeze 2016 with the song “Disgrace“.

Arizona’s Tribulance may have had a share of trials and tribulations, forming in 1995 for a top 10 debut (called Trial and Tribulations) then disbanding in 1998 after industry shortfalls. 2012 saw the return of this old-school-influenced Heavy Metal band, rising from the ashes like a Phoenix – even though they’re from Tuscon – and the original founding members Michael Vidal, Sal Flores, and Gino Silva recruited drummer Brandon Lee to build their way back up into producing music that’s heavy and aggressive while still being melodic. On their style, Lee says, “I think what makes us who we are is we all come from different music backgrounds. While we’re all rooted in metal of some sort, it’s our individual tastes that lends its way into what we produce as Tribulance”. The “Traditional Metal aesthetic” is a tagline that’s been attributed to the vocal and instrumental styles that fuel this group that’s aiming high with their highly-anticipated new record The Aftermath of Lies. May 5^th is when this self-released record will be unleashed on the world, and the first single is already streaming via SoundCloud. Pre-orders will also be available soon.

A few years ago, Rammstein undertook a tour of epic proportions and for those who weren’t there to witness it in person (or for those who were and just want to see it again), a masterpiece of a concert film will be unleashed to the world in just a few short months.
