Stream of Passion

Following the release of their debut album "Embrace the Storm" in 2005, Stream of Passion immediately gained the attention of female- fronted metal fans all over the globe with their unique sound. In 2008, after various European tours and festival appearances, plus the release of the live DVD "Live in the Real World" and several singles/video clips, Stream of Passion realized it was time to start working on their next album, which would open a new chapter in the band's history.

Led by the voice and violin of Mexican-born Marcela Bovio, the new band line-up consists of talented and passionate Dutch musicians Johan van Stratum (bass guitar), Martijn Peters (drums), Jeffrey Revet (keyboards), Eric Hazebroek (guitars) and Stephan Schultz (lead guitar).

The new line-up and interaction between the band members has definitely influenced the band's sound. Marcela explains: "Circumstances were different this time; we all live closer to each other now, so we could just get together and work on the songs face to face whenever we wanted to. We soon knew exactly the direction we wanted to take."

With new songs, an energetic live performance, and a record deal with Napalm Records, Stream of Passion is confident that they will once again take the gothic metal scene by storm. On the new album "The Flame Within", the listener can brace for more live oriented songs with heavy guitars, raging pianos, haunting string arrangements, and the unique, mysterious melodies and vocals provided by Marcela Bovio.

"Our plan was no other than to give everything we have, to implement all of our energy and passion into each one of these songs. And we've definitely achieved it... Get ready to experience our inner fire!"

Magica

They started in February 2002 as a project of Bogdan Costea, directly with the recordings for the 1st album "The Scroll of Stone" (having more of a demo purpose). After 2 months of intense work, the material was ready! 12 power melodic heavy metal songs, in the vein of Rhapsody, Nightwish, and Helloween, which show the high potential of the band. After the songs were ready Bogdan recruited the members of the band.
The second album, "Lightseeker", has been launched in October 2004 in France through Underclass Music .

Magica's first video, "Bittersweet Nightshade", was ready on February 10, 2005. Magica has been featured in the famous "Metallian" and "Rock Hard Magazine".

In 2006 the band had the pleasure of touring Europe opening for After Forever and Nightmare, Apocalyptica and Leaves Eyes .

Magica has always been a band that I loved. The lyrics are simply amazing if you like tales and fantasy things. For me its a powerful band.

There is one of its members that catches my attention ... as know as "6 fingers".

Everybody says that I play keyboards very well and so fast. I really like his sound and speed.

After Catafalque

After Catafalque released Unique (2005), the first gothic metal album in Turkey, their name became well-known in their home country and abroad. Their eagerly awaited second album Dialectique, which will be released in June 2007, features the band’s brand new sound and their trademark songwriting style. In comparison to Unique, which is a real gothic album, Dialectique can be described not just as guitar-based gothic metal, but also shows characteristics of pop and dark metal, with synth leads and sequences and more technological sounds. The music belongs to Arin Baykurt, Serhan Diren and Alper Tabakçilar. The lyrics this time are not about classical gothic and romantic themes, but about the concept of a “woman”, seen from male and female perspectives. They belong to Özge Özkan, Metehan Mert Çakir and Alper Tabakçilar.....
