CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS AND ROCKGAMER STUDIOS TEAM UP TO BRING FIREWIND’S LATEST SINGLE TO THE ROCK BAND NETWORK, ALONG WITH SMASH HIT “HEAD UP HIGH”

What started out as a demo tape by Gus G. has turned into one of the most dynamic, technically superb metal acts in recent history.

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.

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.”

“Hook, Line & Sinner” by PA-based hardcore group Texas in July is guaranteed to be a hot seller, but (spare me while I make this joke) the drum track for “Hook Line & Sinner” is on fire.

Back in September, we announced that we were incredibly excited to work with Amberian Dawn on two of their hit tracks, “River of Tuoni” and “He Sleeps in a Grove”.

The RBN preview clips for “River of Tuoni”, the title track from their debut album, and “He Sleeps in a Grove” from their second album, The Clouds of Northland Thunder, have each eclipsed the 2,000 view mark! The “River of Tuoni” preview alone has gathered 3,780 as of today and has only been up for a few months. If our forums and preview comments are any measure of Amberian Dawn’s future in RBN, then their popularity is undisputed. Excited RGS and RBN fans have already vowed to buy their tracks when RBN launches.

As a response to your overwhelming support for Amberian Dawn’s tracks, we are ecstatic to announce that they have signed on to publish 5 more songs with RockGamer Studios. Amberian Dawn’s new tracks on RBN will be “Valkyries”, “Lullaby”, “The Curse”, “Fate of the Maiden” and “Evil Inside Me”, all from their original album River of Tuoni.
