FIRST DRAFT – „An Instant Before The Promise Of Dawn“
(Vlad Productions) 2025.
CD/LP/digital – FRANCE
Post rock/post hardcore/crossover – FRANCE
First Draft is a French duo consisting of: Marine Arnoult – vocals and drums, and Clement Douam – bass, who in their own way push the boundaries of expressive perception, which, so to speak, goes beyond the forms: post rock and post hardcore approach. In their own distinctive way, they have created some kind of crossover variant, which, after one full-length and one EP release, is reflectively mirrored on their current album „An Instant Before The Promise Of Dawn“.

WIND DOWN – „The Burning Past“
(WormHoleDeath) 2026.
CD/digital
Heavy/power/progressive metal – POLAND
Wind Down is a quintet from Poland, with members who have extensive previous experience. Their current release was preceded by an EP, and there is no doubt that they expect a significant step forward from their debut full-length album. Their album, which contains 10 songs, represents a conceptual release, with the main theme revolving around Native American culture, shamanism, and spiritual elements.
