NORDIC NOISE 2023 Announces Full Program

Pyramaze, nighthawk & exelerate among the last bands on the bill for nordic noise 2023.

24 February 2023 The Rockpit

NORDIC NOISE 2023 – “The Melodic Year” – announces the full program consisting of 16 bands spread over three days in May. An exciting package with heavy metal and hard rock bands from Sweden, Norway, England and Denmark.

And now the last five bands on the program have been unveiled:

Pyramaze is one of Denmark’s best-preserved bands within progressive metal and is mentioned in connection with the biggest bands in the genre. In the past, American Lance King (Balance Of Power) and Matt Barlow (Iced Earth) have been singers in the band – and in recent years it is the sublime Norwegian singer Terje Harøy who is fronting the band. Pyramaze will release a new album this spring on German AFM Records. Also, one of the bands two guitarists is Jacob Hansen, probably best known as producer and owner of Hansen Studios (Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, Volbeat and Pretty Maid s).

Swedish Nighthawk will release their new album in May, where vocals on the entire album are provided by Bjørn Strid (Night Flight Orchestra & Soilwork). The style is melodic, catchy AOR-oriented hard rock not unlike what Night Flight Orchestra practices. Watch the band’s first music video “Running Wild” from the new album below

Exelerate is a new Danish thrash metal band, who has chosen a polished and technical take on the genre known from the early nineties. The band has already been well received by the international press, where i.a. the big American site Metal Injection has showered their love on the band and their latest music video. Have a look below 

Finally, we present the two classic Danish heavy metal bands Evil and Metal Cross, who both have a past dating back to the beginning of the Danish heavy metal scene in the 80s and both released successful comeback albums last year and performed live both in their Native country and abroad. The audience can expect both old classics and new fresh material. See what the two bands are all about in 2023 here > EVIL & METAL CROSS

Previously announced Evergrey (S), Eclipse (S), Tygers Of Pan Tang (UK), Ambush (S), Captain Black Beard (S), Meridian (DK), Alien Force (DK), Boys From Heaven (DK), and Stargazer (N), Silver Phantom (DK) and Steel Inferno (DK).

Nordic Noise expands the festival to three days with a packed program within the creme de la creme of what the hard rock and traditional heavy metal genre has to offer in 2023, with a retrospective, romantic relationship to the time when the genre defined itself in the 70s and 80s.

It all takes place at the Stairway venue in Copenhagen on the 11, 12 and 13 May 2023.

3-day tickets can be purchased for the sum of 90€ HERE . The program for each individual day and one-day tickets will be announced at a later date together with other events during the festival, like photo exhibition, metal market and after party.

After Pyramaze previously shared a first song, “Broken Arrow”, today, they are premiering a music video for new single “Fortress” !

The band comments: “‘Fortress’ has Pyramaze incorporating some of their traditional elements and melding it with a modern cinematic atmosphere. With hard hitting staccato strings, soaring and powerful vocals, driving rhythm guitars and drums, and moving and melodic keyboard passages, ‘Fortress’ should please fans of both older and newer Pyramaze”.

Watch the official video for the new single “Fortress” below.

Pyramaze are an exceptional phenomenon in the international, heavy music scene: Their sound brings along numerous traditional melodic and progressive metal trademarks, but gets an immensely high recognition value by their unique feeling for great melodies. The band is known for their technical finesse and unique arrangements, often melodic and atmospheric, and frequently including complex guitar riffs and solos supported by synthetic sounds.

In recent years, Pyramaze has played on many stages in Europe and North America, demonstrating their energetic live performance and impressive musical skills. They have built a loyal fan base and is considered by many metal fans as one of the most innovative and talented bands of their generation.

“Bloodlines” was recorded, mixed and mastered by Pyramaze guitarist and renowned producer Jacob Hansen. Set to be released on June 23, 2023 through AFM Records, the album pre-sale is now available here .

PYRAMAZE – Bloodlines (Album Review)

The integrity of their sonic bloodline remains.

Now more than 20 years into their career, it can be safely said that Denmark-born power metal meets progressive rock trustees Pyramaze have achieved veteran status, and it continues to reflect in their steady studio output. Having reinvented themselves into the new standard-bearers of power metal with an AOR edge in the mid-2010s, a niche popularized back in the mid-2000s by the now semi-active German act Masterplan , their sound has come to embody the notion that an infectious hook can coexist with a mid-paced and nuanced interpretation of a style otherwise known for its speed and impact factor. In fact, barring a temporary reunion with the band’s two prior vocalists Lance King and Matt Barlow , along with original guitarist and principle songwriter Michael Kammeyer to construct a towering monument of epic power metal fanfare to close off their last studio offering “Epitaph” , this is a very different band from the one that first surfaced in the 2000s and their latest studio entry “Bloodlines” continues down this more recently beaten trail.

Much like their 2017 album “Contingent “, this incarnation of Pyramaze has a more straightforward musical presentation that gives way to a vivid and largely sentimental brand of storytelling, though here the band has come away with stronger songs despite heavily dialing back the technical elements that were still present 6 years prior. Much of this owes to the 2022 exit of long time lead guitarist Toke Skjonnemand from the fold, taking his highly expressive and technically extravagant signature sound with him, and leaving virtuoso keyboardist and atmospheric wizard Jonah Weingarten to breathe all of the detailing elements into an arrangement that is more heavily reliant upon mid to moderately up tempo grooves with straightforward rhythmic input from guitarist/producer Jacob Hansen . However, Toke did participate to an extent in the recording of this album, and has imbued the swift power metal banger “The Midnight Sun” and it’s longer and more intricate cousin “The Mystery” with some spellbinding solos that hearken back to the days of “Legend Of The Bone Carver” , which is fitting given that both songs come the closest to revisiting the band’s 2000s sound.

“Bloodlines” Artwork

Ultimately the two aforementioned entries in this 44 minute marriage of heavy-hitting metal and film score are the exceptions that prove the rule, which is that this is a band that is flying one engine short and compensates with a heightened keyboard presence and a stellar vocal delivery to compensate. Whether it be the largess of the synthesized orchestral instrumentals that bookend this album in all of their bombastic glory, or the mid-paced bangers that see this band’s front man shine like a star in the midst of a supernova, it becomes immediately obvious that Weingarten and helmsman Terje Haroy are the ones stealing the show. To be fair, the input of the rhythm section and Hansen ’s chunky down-tuned guitar work isn’t a slouch next to the aforementioned impresarios, but what ultimately sells structurally simple and to the point anthems like “Taking What’s Mine” and “Broken Arrow” is the dense symphonic overlay and Haroy ’s highly impassioned delivery of the lyrics, channeling a melodramatic spirit that David Coverdale would be proud of. His most auspicious moment, however, proves to be when he is tasked with trading verses with Ad Infinitum vocalist Melissa Bonny on the serene power ballad “Alliance”, recalling the same melancholy brand of beauty that graced “She Who Summoned Me” back in 2006.

In every measurable respect, this album is a worthy successor to what came before it, though it falls short of the mystique of “Legend Of The Bone Carver” , the brilliant largess of “Epitaph” , and the generally banger-obsessed splendor of “Disciples Of The Sun” . It’s still a substantial triumph when considering that this act has opted to soldier on with one of their most consequential members now absent from the fold, though he Toke ended up taking this album as an opportunity to go out with a bang. The road ahead seems a bit uncertain as this outfit has no permanent bassist, to speak nothing for Jacob Hansen pulling all the guitar duties for a band that has been a two guitar arrangement since its very inception. But given that they did manage to pull a proverbial rabbit out of their hat in recruiting Terje into the fold after an extended period of lineup instability in the past, it will hopefully prove a trend with whomever Pyramaze opts to fill the immense shoes that currently stand empty. But come what may, “Bloodlines” is another solid notch in this outfit’s belt, and those that have trodden the path with them up until now will not be disappointed.

ALBUM REVIEW: Bloodlines – Pyramaze

A change in line-up can often make or break a band. PYRAMAZE , despite a tumultuous early chapter, are a remarkable example of what can happen when fate swings the right way. The Danes’ initial three-album run in the 2000s ticked so many boxes in carving out their space amongst the colourful world of power-prog – but a string of inadequate, albeit talented, vocalists squandered the band’s potential and left their future in limbo. The arrival of present singer Terje Harøy in 2015, almost a decade since PYRAMAZE ‘s last appearance, marked a new era – one of prosperity and grandeur. Now sitting three albums deep into this new age, the five-piece return in characteristically full-form with Bloodlines. 

In 2023, PYRAMAZE still ride the blurred line between ‘hidden gem’ and ‘household name’. In a similar manner to the band’s recent work, Bloodlines once again begs the question of whether PYRAMAZE are ready to break this illusion and establish themselves outside the vacuum of obscurity. Their experience is unquestionable, and their conviction equally so, but has the showmanship and ceremony been enough to grab an outsider’s attention this time around?

The answer is a regrettable ‘no’ but, in spite of this, it cannot be stressed fervently enough that this album is worth every minute of your time. Simply put, this is another welcome visit from PYRAMAZE who deliver a predictably joyous effort. It won’t place the Danes any bolder on the map than previous work, but no less is it a triumph in artistry that will sit comfortably beside their other modern successes. 

Bloodlines is another bulletproof blueprint for majestic, dense soundscapes that packs just as much complexity as it does outright fist-pumping jubilation. Plus, with every knob turned mercilessly to 11 since the band’s inception, PYRAMAZE ’s ability to dodge the pitfalls of burning out is ever impressive. It’s not a drastic diversion from the last three albums by any definition, but there are plenty of well-embedded jewels and guest appearances within Bloodlines ’ DNA to give fresh life to a genre in need of a good polish.

You’d be hard-pressed to find songs as instantly infectious as Broken Arrow , Fortress and Even If You’re Gone , all strung high and mighty to the bellowing echoes of Harø y ’s fascinating command of tone and melody. Seven albums in, the band are well aware of their strengths, with no shortage of arena-deserving choruses throughout – this is an album for instant gratification and the band have no shame in showing it.

Their achievements bode well for much more than simply their own future. Too many bands in PYRAMAZE ’s position begin to fizzle out or disband entirely and, with few true modern bearers of the prog power flag, the band’s survival is an essential, warming triumph to witness for this often-overlooked niche of niches. At this point, you may gather that there’s more to say about what Bloodlines represents than what it actually does. The truth isn’t too far from this assumption. Besides borrowing some technical prowess from guests across AD INFINITUM , UNLEASH THE ARCHERS and AMARANTHE , the LP’s ‘if it ain’t broke’ attitude ultimately leashes itself from being rendered a modern epic; by no means a bore but no by no means a showstopper. 

This fact isn’t helped by the album’s abundant feeling of being front-loaded as you navigate the tracklist. The first six tracks are among the best the band have ever written, easily rivalling the peaks of 2012’s Disciples Of The Sun , and will refuse to release their unfeigned grip with their ear-worm hooks and infectious theatrics. Bloodline ’s closing moments, however, fail to reach the same standard of insatiable ear-to-ear grins. The Mystery , despite being the most ambitious of the album’s singles, lacks a signature chorus to tie things together, and instrumental closer Wolves Of The Sea is a great battle anthem in its own right but, instead of setting up a final hurrah, builds momentum to no obvious purpose.

This is a solid album, that fact is non-negotiable. It doesn’t fret about breaking records or needlessly reinventing itself for the sake of ego or credibility; it knows what it does best and does it better than most. While PYRAMAZE won’t be joining the hallowed ranks of their contemporaries just yet, Bloodlines will undoubtedly make a lot of people happy. It would be wrong to ask for much more.

Rating: 7/10

Bloodlines is set for release on June 23rd via AFM Records.

Staind-hog fest concert review and gellery-05/03/2024-the fiserv forum-milwaukee, wi-reviewed and photographed by jeremy smith, godsmack brings their vibez tour to hershey theater, hershey, pa – 5/1/24 – review and photos by sharon sipple, famed punk act’s latest live lp is far from perfect but still worth experiencing, mercury studios’ peter gabriel concert recording re-issue is imperfect but enjoyable, shred rogers’ debut lp is this year’s most unique metal offering so far, dust bolt’s latest lp is sure to make plenty of noise in hard rock, metal circles, pyramaze offers audiences a largely successful album in its latest lp.

Late this past June, Pyramaze released its latest album,  Bloodlines  to the masses, ending a three-year wait for new music from the veteran metal outfit.  The band’s seventh album, it proves itself worth hearing at least once.  That is due in part to its featured musical arrangements, which will be discussed shortly.  The lyrical themes that accompany the album’s musical arrangements make for their own interest and add to the record’s engagement and entertainment.  They will be addressed a little later.  The record’s production rounds out its most important elements and will also be examined later.  Each item noted here is important in its own way to the whole of its presentation.  All things considered they make  Bloodlines  another interesting offering from Pyramaze.

Bloodlines , the latest album from Pyramaze, is a positive new offering from the veteran metal band that proves itself worth hearing at least once.  The record’s overall success comes in part through its musical arrangements.  For the most part the arrangements featured here are very similar in sound and style to works that In Flames produced for its 2002 album,  Reroute to Remain .  For those who might be less familiar with In Flames, the band’s sound and style on that record turned from the more familiar extreme metal approach for which the band had come to be known to something more melodic yet still heavy in its own right.  It was a notable change for the band.  While most of the music featured in Pyramaze’s new album is very similar to that of In Flames’ work from said album, the record’s two instrumental tracks – its opener, ‘Bloodlines’ and finale, ‘Wolves of the Sea’ – are the only tracks that really hold the band’s power metal identity.  Interestingly, ‘Wolves of the Sea’ immediately conjures thoughts of the U-Boat “wolfpacks” that prowled the Atlantic Ocean during World War II.  One has to assume the song in that case mirrored the pain and tension that so many seamen felt as they made the Atlantic crossing to get to Britain during the war.  Getting back on track, the change of sound and style for Pyramaze on its latest album is nothing new for the band.  Throughout the course of its catalog, the band has changed its sound and style quite constantly.  From its power metal roots early on, to the heavier comparison to the likes of Iced Earth as the band’s catalog has grown, to something more prog-leaning in  Disciples of the Sun , to now this equally unique record’s sound, the change has been while not constant, still noticeable and welcome.  The change here has produced 10 distinct arrangements that are sure to engage and entertain listeners in their own right from beginning to end.

The musical arrangements that are exhibited throughout Pyramaze’s new album are just a portion of what makes the album worth hearing.  The lyrical themes that accompany the album’s make for their own interest.  That is because in many cases the lyrical content is so metaphorical in nature that it leaves much of the record’s lyrical content wide open to interpretation.  That is not an entirely bad thing.  In other cases though, the message is clearer and interesting, such as in the case of the late entry, ‘The Mystery.’  The song’s subject, in this case, waxes existential about whether we are alone in the universe and how humans even came to exist.  This as he sings in the song’s lead verse and chorus, “When I gaze into the sky at night/I see a race at the speed of light/Balls of fire/Reflections of the past/A lasting glimpse of a big time blast/Has it been forever/How do we fit in?/There’s a world beyond our own/Investigated yet unknown/History light years away/Still showing today/Wistful dreamer/True believer/We just can’t see/The great unsolved mystery.”  Is Pyramaze the first band to ever craft a song wondering about mankind’s place in the universe?  Odds are the answer is no, but the simple translation here makes the rumination easily accessible.  The song’s subject continues his questioning in the song’s second verse, singing, “Was it evolution or was it heaven sent/We need more knowledge to apprehend/The world around us/Before we let it go/And we’re closing doors to its final show.”  Again, here is that questioning whether the universe just came into being or whether a higher power created everything.  It is an eternal question of the chicken and the egg that likely will never be fully answered and is sure to generate plenty of discussion among audiences.  It is just one example of the importance of the album’s lyrical content.  Earlier in the record’s run, ‘Fortress’ delivers its own familiar, accessible topic.

‘Fortress’ is the album’s third song (and second full track, as the album’s opener in an instrumental number).  In the case of ‘Fortress’ the theme comes across as being that of determination and perseverance.  This as the song’s subject sings here, “Somewhere in the distance/Sleepers wake and move to make amends/Subjected to the truth by others/Order has to be restored/If no one dares to move/It never ends/Out of the dark/Armed and controlled/Writing a story yet untold/Of too many men unwilling to face the cold/You better run this town/You need their backs against the wall/Don’t let emotions drag you down/You’ll have to wear that crown/You’ll have to show them once and for all/That they can never tear you down.”  Here, clearly, is that message encouraging personal, inner strength, of being that strong person who is that proverbial fortress.  That is because there are so few people out there who are so willing to that fortress, that firm leader of men, so to speak.  The message of having that inner strength continues in the song’s second verse, in which the subject sings, “Somewhere in revolting ways/A merciless resisting is taking place/Determined to regain their lost land/No matter what the cost may be/Victorious for the human race.”  In other words there are those who want to do bad; who want to take back that which was gained by the good, so it is up to the good, strong-willed to fight them and remember they are there.  It is a familiar theme among rock records and just as welcome here as in songs from so many other bands.

‘Fortress’ is just one more of the songs that serves to show the importance of  Bloodlines ’ lyrical themes.  ‘Even If You’re Gone,’ which serves as the record’s midpoint, is one more example of that importance.  In the case of this song, it centers on the all-too-familiar theme of love lost, or so it would seem.  Either that or unrequited love.  This is inferred right from the song’s opening verse and chorus, which state, “Lost in the fire/Burning my skin like you warned me/Breaking the walls you build/To avoid all the pain outside/Will you finally be my destiny?/I see the light here/I know that you don’t But I wanna be the one you really want/Through the nightmares we’re chasing the dawn/I’ll be fighting for you/Even if you’re gone.”  The subject continues in the song’s second verse, “I try to define the feelings inside of the broken/Emotional miles will draw us apart/But I won’t let go/Will you let me be your destiny?”  Lots of people, if not everyone, have/has had similar thoughts and felt similar emotions in regard to relationships.  To that end, the relatability and accessibility of said topic here makes it another clear example of why  Bloodlines ’ lyrical content is just as important to its presentation as the album’s musical arrangements.  When the overall content is considered collectively the whole gives listeners reason enough to hear the album.

While the overall content featured in  Bloodlines  is reason enough for audiences to take in the album, there is still one more item to examine here.  That item is the record’s production.  The work that went into balancing the vocals and instrumentation in each song paid off well in each song.  Whether in the record’s more fiery moments, such as the semi-symphonic metal of ‘Broken Arrow’ and the controlled power of ‘Fortress’ or in the more melodic approach of ‘Alliance’ and the album’s opener/title track, the work that went into creating the best possible emotional impact paid off in every song.  The result is an aesthetic effect that will play just as much into listeners’ engagement and entertainment as the album’s content.  Keeping that in mind,  Bloodlines  proves, in whole, to be a largely successful new offering from Pyramaze that metal audiences will find worth hearing at least once.

Bloodlines , the latest full-length studio recording from Pyramaze, is a largely positive new offering from the veteran metal outfit.  Its success comes in part through its featured musical arrangements, which collectively continue to exhibit the change in the band’s sound and style that has been commonplace from the band from one album to the next.  The lyrical themes that make up much of the record tend to leave themselves side open to interpretation, which is not necessarily a bad thing.  There are other songs, as noted here, whose themes are more direct in their delivery.  That combination of accessibility and “imagination” generated by the lyrical themes makes for its own interest.  The album’s production rounds out its most important elements.  That is because of the emotional depth that it ensures through its work.  Each item examined here is important in its own way to the whole of the album’s presentation.  All things considered they make  Bloodlines  an interesting new offering from Pyramaze that the band’s established audiences and metal fans alike will find worth hearing at least once.

Bloodlines  is available now through AFM Records.  More information on the album is available along with all of Pyramaze’s latest news at:
