Rainshadow

Rainshadow is a Melbourne band that creates dark and melancholic music with a rock/doom feel. The first release was the demo 'Old', created by Ben W and Mark Kelson (The Eternal). After being pleased with the result, it was decided that a full length album was required. Working together again, Ben and Mark have completed the debut album 'End Songs'. Produced by Mark Kelson, 'End Songs' includes an 8 page booklet designed by Ne Obliviscaris vocalist Xenoyr. It was mastered at Crystal Mastering Studios in Melbourne.

Germ

There are multiple artists with this name: 1) A project of Australian Tim Yatras (Austere, Grey Waters, ex-Nazxul, etc) that incorporates elements of depressive black metal, rock and electronic music. Germ was conceived in early 2006, and shortly afterward the "Raving Mad With Sadness" song appeared online. Since then Germ has remained out of the public eye, but in the Spring of 2009 he entered SLS Studios to record his debut album. However, the record was never completed... until now.

Katatonia

Katatonia formed in 1991 in Stockholm, Sweden and was brought together by long time friends, Anders Nyström (aka Blakkheim) and Jonas Renkse (aka Lord Seth). After more than a year of rehearsals and composing, the first real fruits of their labour came to light in mid 1992 with the release of the demo ‘Jhva Elohim Meth’, recorded at Sweden’s Gorysound Studio and produced by the multi-instrumentalist Dan Swanö. The demo sold out immediately, bringing Katatonia to the attention of Dutch label Vic Records, who went on to re-release the demo as a mini CD, titled ‘Jhva Elohim Meth – the Revival’.
