The name Gus G. may be familiar to you, as he is the guitar virtuoso currently in Ozzy Osbourne’s lineup. However, every member of Greek outfit Firewind is a seasoned veteran of the metal scene. With technical guitar work, epic vocal harmonies and heavy bass riffs, they are an explosively melodic group who has earned deserved acclaim.

INDIE ROCK SENSATIONS FANG ISLAND BRING THEIR HIT SINGLE “DAISY” TO THE ROCK BAND NETWORK
A school art project has never sounded so good. Then again, its members don’t usually end up touring with some of the biggest names in rock and indie music today. But, unlike many other art projects at the Rhode Island School of Design, Fang Island decided to make a name for themselves, traveling the country and gaining countless fans and recognition along the way.
The group has received stellar reviews from Pitchfork Media and the Seattle Stranger. They even scored a coveted spot on the Spin 21st Anniversary Concert alongside indie icons The Flaming Lips and later toured with The Stone Temple Pilots and the Black Keys. We know, readers, just try not to be jealous of Fang Island’s awesome tourmates and rising star of fame.
Video Preview: Nautiluz Will Melt Your Face

Sure, you may have never heard of Nautiluz unless you’re a fan of Peruvian metal. But then again, many gamers had never heard the word “DragonForce” until we hit the end credits of a certain game involving guitars and heroes.
If you are a fan of ridiculously fast power metal, then you are in for a VERY pleasant surprise with Nautiluz. The newly formed group from Lima, consisting of Jorge Segersbol (vocals), Diego Chacaliaza/Alonso Rodríguez (sharing lead guitar duties), Alvaro Paredes (drums), Renzo Huánuco (keys), and Diego Shiguemura (bass) wasted no time after their formation in November ’09, and promptly recorded their first original single, “Chasing the Light.”
