As if it were a saga, the sequel has a new record, for the third consecutive year “Azores & Metal Vol. # III” is compiled.
This work that forms the trilogy is very special and charismatic, striving to record the work of azorean musicians and bands on CD, so that it will be recorded in this format forever.
Since the work and quality of these musicians are not worthy of attention, nor of stage opportunities in their ‘motherland’, the only way to assert themselves is, in fact, through recording on CD.
After the enormous surprise and interest that Vol. #1 (2021) and Vol. 2 (2022) aroused in the metal community, this Vol. #3 became a necessity for both musicians and loyal followers of what takes place on the Azores islands.
The existence of this compilation was the motivation for many of the existing bands to feel the need to exhibit their work, and for others to find here their first opportunity to showcase themselves.
Azores & Metal Vol. # III is a compilation made up of 15 songs from as many bands, with some particularities:
Dark Age Of Ruin and Drvzka are present for the third time.
The veterans Morbid Death and Kaskaveil were part of the 1st edition and will participate again in this #3.
Finding Sanity, After the Rain, Damage Device (Terceira Island), Crossfaith And The Absolute End are part of the batch of bands that were new in #2, now returning with new sounds.
None The Less (Terceira Island), Mournolith Abyss, Dust Project and InnerCircle are part of the batch of bands that were born in the meantime and that made a point of being present in this volume.
Not wanting to exclude the azoreans who are residing outside the archipelago, themes from M1ke (living in Spain) and A Dream of Poe (living in Scotland, even though he already has several works in his history) were involved.
Although it’s a 100% azorean production, we can’t help but be proud of it being a union of efforts from diverse entities in the national and regional music scene, witch gives even more prestige to our Heavy Metal.
This work has the full support and close promotion of almost a dozen national and some regional entities.
It is for the MHMA a reason to rejoice to see radios, publishers, recording studios, webzines and speciality stores identify with this modest island project, whose main objetive is to promote and publicize what is done in the Azores…
