BULLET RIDE :
Bullet Ride is a metal band from the Paloise region (South France) formed in 2014.
For the first few years, the band made a name for itself with a repertoire consisting solely of cover versions.
From 2016 onwards, the stabilized band devoted itself to its own repertoire, which was well received by the public during its concerts.
With a solid set of effective heavy/thrash tunes, Bullet Ride recorded their debut album ‘At The Gates Of Hell’ in 2020.
It is mixed and mastered by Pierre-Emmanuel Pélisson.
In November 2020, the track ‘Eternity’ is released on the French Metal #31 compilation and Youtube.
In July 2021, the band signs with French label Music Records.
‘At The Gates Of Hell’ is released on January 21, 2022, along with the video clip for the self-titled track.
The album’s power metal, tinged with more extreme sounds, enabled the band to open for Phil Campbell and the Bastards Sons in April 2022 in Billère (64) and Battle Beast in May 2023 in Toulouse.
In autumn 2023, the band decided to part company with Guillaume (drums) and Philippe (guitar) due to musical differences.
On November 24, 2023, lable Music Records releases the ‘Gravibus Triturabis’ compilation, which includes 2 new tracks.
A lyric video of ‘The Abyss’ has been released on November 17.
The mix and mastering of these tracks has been entrusted to Sicarius Production.
The band is taking a break from live performances to compose the successor to ‘At The Gates Of Hell’ and complete its line-up.
EVIL-MINDED :
Evil-Minded was created in 2010 in the south of France by three friends, Jonathan Sendrané, Jonathan Jourdan and Romain Bourgois.
Sendrané, Jonathan Jourdan and Romain Bourgois, influenced by Hard Rock, Heavy Metal and Metal pioneers of the 70s and 80s such as AC/DC, Metallica, Judas Priest and Motörhead.
After a few years of playing gigs in the Toulouse region, the band began writing their own lyrics and writing their own lyrics and composing their own Hard Rock-style songs.
A first demo entitled ‘Rock’N’Roll Road’ was released in 2015 following a meeting with Plume, a sound engineer who has worked with other French bands and continues to collaborate with the band.
Following various formations, the singer/guitarist position finally fell to Jonathan Sendrané, leading the band to adopt a more heavy metal style.
The band’s debut album ‘Into the Jaws of Death’ was released on May 17, 2019, and received rave reviews from the French rock and metal scene, as well as internationally.
After having rocked the heavy metal scene in the south of France for over a year with their first opus, Evil-Minded returned to the studio to compose new material.
This step was accompanied by the arrival of Guillaume Lefebvre, founder and composer of the band Nemedian Chronicles.
During the various periods of confinement following the Covid 19 pandemic, Evil-Minded finalize the composition of 11 new tracks, and enter the studio in February 2021 to produce their second album, ‘Lucy’s Fate’, released on October 14, 2022 on the Music-Records label.
With a cover art by Mario Lopez, a graphic artist who has worked with such names on the metal scene, such as King Diamond, to name but one.
This date also heralds the band’s return to the stage after two years in the studio.
Evil-Minded is once again ready to rock the French heavy metal scene.
