Althea
Althea were formed in Milan by guitarist Dario Bortot and bassist Fabrizio Zilio, with the object to developing a free-form progressive metal rock project. With the addition of the keyboardist Marco Zambardi, Sergio Sampietro on drums and Alessio Accardo on vocals, the Althea line up stabilized and the group began gigging extensively and recorded their first EP in 2014 to an excellent critical response. The band recorded their debut album, Memories Have No Name throughout 2016 ready for release in the coming months.

Serial Vice
Serial Vice are an Heavy Metal band based in Salento, Southern Italy. After some line-up changes, the band recorded their first single Heroin and after yet more tweaks to the personel, the bands sound gelled into a Heavy Metal blast somewhere between classic and modern but always gritty and melodic. They cite their influences from Hard Rock to Thrash and from Doom to Power. The bands EP Nightmares Come True, is scheduled for release on Sliptrick Records in 2017.
