BENEATH MY SINS is a French symphonic metal band created in December 2015 by the guitarist Clement Botz and the singer Emma Elvaston. Former members of Evolvent, they have together taken their first steps in the metal scene and in the musical composition. In March 2017, BENEATH MY SINS released their first album “Valkyries of Modern Times”, promoted during shows in Belgium with Skeptical Minds and during two European tours shared with the Russian thrash metal band, Pokerface. Quickly perceived as the emerging symphonic metal band of the French scene, BENEATH MY SINS had the opportunity to tour with the famous Canadian Kobra And the Lotus during their stay in France in June 2018 and Imperial Age in 2019. In September 2018, the band got in contact with Fabio D’Amore, bassist from Serenity. After a few meetings and discussions they all agreed that he would provides his services as a producer to the band. Thanks to this collaboration, the band was able to record under professional conditions and to work with famous names of the music business. Many talented guests such as Matteo Sisti from Eluveitie, Melissa Bonny from Ad Infinitum, Michele Guaitoli from Temperance and Visions of Atlantis and Fabio Lethien Polo from Elvenking also joined the ship for one or more songs. The album, entitled “I Decide” will come out on March 20th via Pride & Joy Music.
Slovakia's progressive/power metallers Signum Regis have published a video for the track "Stand Away", a cover from brazilian band Angra and recorded as a tribute to the late Andre Matos, who passed away in 2019.
Here’s our Christmas gift for you. It is also a humble tribute to the amazing André Matos, who left us recently. We want to thank all of you for the fantastic support you’ve been giving us. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Since October 2006, Matos had been dedicating his time to his solo career. In 2012, he was ranked #77 at the list of 100 Greatest Voices of Brazilian Music by Rolling Stone Brasil. André Matos passed away on June 8th after suffereing a heart attack at the age of 47.
Band members: Jota Fortinho (vocals), Ronnie König (bass), Filip Koluš (guitars), Ján Tupý (keyboards) and Jaroslav Jančula (Drums).
Dear Heavy Metal Maniacs, here's a statement from guitarist Alexandra of JENNER:
"Today is a big day for us! In addition to celebrating 6 years since the band has been formed, we have many more news for you.
Since many of you are eager for new music, we’re proud to announce that our new release, EP “The Test Of Time” will be released on February 20, 2020, the same day as our previous release. Of course, via INFERNO Records ! We’re extremely pleased we have an opportunity and honor to once again work with a man like Fabien Pinneteau. Also, another thing that hasn’t changed is collaboration with Luka Matković and Citadela Sound Production Studio.
As previously announced, the EP is consisted of 3 songs, "Night Without Dawn", "The Test of Time" featuring Emil Ivošević (Alexandra's boyfriend and singer of Sigma Epsilon), and a cover of song “Young & Proud“ by Demoniac (thanks Ljubo Marjanović for permission).
The other thing you may notice is that the band continues to work as a trio. In conversation with our singer Anđelina Mitić, we came to the conclusion that there’s no more energy and enthusiasm in the band like it used to be... So we decided that Alexandra takes the microphone. We wish Anđelina all the best in the future! These 6 years have brought us many beautiful experiences and memories that we’ll remember forever.
Another change you may notice is that a new bassist, Katarina Henc, is playing with us. This way we welcome her to the band ! Our bass player, Nevena Ilić, gave birth about a month ago and brought another beautiful girl to the world. Considering that she’s currently unable to play, her job will be done by Kaća, and the time will tell how the things will further go.
On drums is, as before, Marija Dragićević. Since she was on maternity leave during the recording, the drums were recorded by our friend, Nikola Simonović.
And finally, we want to thank all the people who helped us get through this rough period and get on with it. You're wonderful!
Expect more information from us after the New Year!"
EP "The Test os Time" out on February 20th, 2020 via Infernö Records. Illustration: Milos Stanisavljevic Shozy. Design: Alexandra Lioness.

Mentalist is a German melodic power metal band (Saarbrücken) with musicians from Germany and Sweden. Formed in 2018, the first album will be released in late 2019. In this interview the musicians Kai Stringer, Peter Moog and Thomen Stauch talk about Mentalist and his other bands and projects.
Valrock zine: How was a band formed and what are its influences?
Kai Stringer: Peter Moog (guitars) and I are longtime friends. We've known each other for 20 years now. We always wanted to make some music together one day- well and then it happened in the beginning of 2018. Peter came up with the idea of the band name. Our goal was, is and always will be to make great melodic power metal and of course to conquer the whole world with our band Mentalist.
Thomen Stauch: One thing is for sure! This band wouldn´t exist without Peter. We like to call him „Peter the leader“! :-) He has so much influence on everything happening inside the band, that without him this band absolutely would not be the band Mentalist anymore, but a completely other band. When Peter and me met for the first time, about three years ago, we knew that there would happen a musical collaboration between us someday! We started the first recordings in 2019, when there was just Peter, Kai and me in the band. Then, after the first recordings, that were more or less still working- tracks, we got joined by Florian Hertel (bass), who was already pretty popular as virtuoso on the bass in the local scene around Saarbruecken. Then a friend of us, who knew Rob from youtube already, suggested him as singer for Mentalist. Peter contacted him and Rob seemed to like our stuff a lot, that´s why he agreed pretty fast on the offer to become our singer. We´re all very glad to have him on board. We can´t imagine a better frontman for Mentalist! He´s a very open-minded person as regards all concerns. It´s real fun to work with him and listen to his creative words with great ideas.
VZ: What are the musical influences of each of you?
Kai: I think you can sometimes hear our musical roots in our songs. Peter has always been a big fan of bands like Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian and Helloween. Florian Hertel (bass) and I are big prog metal and guitar shredding fans. Thomen Stauch (drums) has no influence. He is the influence! As for Rob Lundgren (vocals), he's influenced from pop music to heavy metal. All kinds of musical stuff he's into. You can convince yourself of that by watching his youtube channel Rob Lundgren (https://www.youtube.com/user/LundgrenRob). He's a very emotional and powerful singer.
VZ: Mentalists first album will be released later this year. What can you tell us about it?
Peter Moog: The album will be released in about half a year. There will be a few interesting guest musicians. Among others by the band Kamelot and one of my absolute favorite singers: Daniel Heiman (formerly Lost Horizon). There is a close friendship with musicians of Kamelot through our sandbox friend Alex Landenburg.
VZ: In June the band announced Thomen Stauch as a drummer, a very experienced musician. How was the recording process?
Kai: Very short. Thomens first take always strikes. In his veins is running pure melodic metal blood. He has a natural feeling to add groove to stress melodies.
Thomen: :-O Woooww!!! Thank you so much for your kindness, Kai! Incredible words, my great guitar hero! Kai is God on the guitars and sooo flexible concerning styles and his skills. This guy was totally underrated so far, but as a member of Mentalist this will change soon, hopefully! He´s also a very good friend, as everyone in the band, too. I´m so glad to be part of this fantastic band and having won so many good new buddies. Our collaboration works fantastic!
VZ: In 2002 Thomas couldn't participate in the Blind Guardian tour in Brazil because of a right arm tendon infection. I hope one day you play in Brazil with a Mentalist. :)
Peter: Wow. You have a great memory :) I can confirm that Thomen´s health status is very good. Many positive reactions to our first released song Freedom of the Press(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fni0IlI1DVY) came from Brazil and we are happy that Brasil currently decorates rank 3 of our social media followers. So, if the opportunity arises, we will of course play concerts in Brazil. Thomen has to deliver a few Blind Guardian songs as an excuse then. ;-) We have now created our own Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/MentalistBand/.
Thomen: Oh yeah, I can actually confirm that I feel healthy and am in pretty good condition, so I´m anxiously looking forward to playing in one of my favorite countries again, soon! Brazil is great! I love the country and its fanatical metal fans and warm-hearted people!
VZ: What is your opinion about the current German and world melodic metal scene ?
Peter: I regret that there are hardly any good releases in the melodic metal scene for many years now. Before, we were very indulged by good bands coming from Germany, but that changed within the last years. Now, we unfortunately reached the point where several of the most popular bands have already become a bit more leisurely. Germany urgently needs good new bands with constantly great quality on their albums. For me, personally, Scandinavian countries, especially Sweden, are currently the leading ones as concerns good melodic metal releases. For example, Beast in Black (o.k., Finnish/Greek ;-p), Majestica and Lancer are already very good new bands in the starting blocks.
VZ: Kai, you also play in the German melodic power metal band Starchild. How is the process of recording the second album?
Kai: The second album Killer Robots (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCdONlauhiI) was recorded two years ago. Not many people noticed it but the album was released in March 2019 this year. A great album, well done and absolutely worth to be listened by every melodic metal fan.
VZ: A possible Mentalist presentation with Starchild this year?
Kai: I don't think so. Starchild does not play many concerts at the moment because Starchild Frontman Sandro is currently directing a German movie. Mentalist is bursting with energy and wants to conquer the world.
VZ: Are the other members also playing in other bands? Which are?
VZ: And What is the forecast to show the debut of the Mentalist?
Kai: It's not for sure that the album will be released this year, but it will be released in around 6 month. We hope that our music pleases many other heavy metal fans.
Thomen: We´re anxiously looking forward to hitting the road next year for the first time with Mentalist. That will surely be a fantastic experience!
VZ: Thank you so much for the interview and leave a comment for Valrock zine readers and read the band fans.
Kai: I wish all the best and always lots of public attention for Valrock magazine to reach all the fantastic and valuable metal heads out there. You do a great job, really - Rock on!
Peter: We wish you good luck with the magazine. It's wonderful that people personally support and promote the Metal music.
Thomen: Yeah, all the best for the future to Valrock zine and of course a big THANX to all the Mentalist supporters in Brazil! Not to forget, my dear loyal fans in Brazil, who followed almost all of my activities and supported me constantly throughout all those years! You all simply rock! LOVE YA ALL!!!

Axel Ritt (Grave Diger) recorded a very fat video together with his buddies from MONSTERGROOVE at the Abbey Road Institute in Frankfurt / Germany. In a live take without overdubs and subsequent editing, they made the La Belle hit "Lady Jam" and gave him a heavy 3-man power trio dress with baritone tuning.
And for the first time in his career, Axel Ritt got a Signature Distortion Pedal tailor-made, which not only sounds fantastic, but also incorporates a previously unique sound control system.
Together with Roland Schmidt from the boutique manufacturer Pushking Pedals, after 2 years, Ritt have developed a distortion pedal, which has a fully parametric mid control. The exact mode of action and the incredible flexibility of the pedal you can watch in this video: https://youtu.be/9ampNjklZgw.
