Symphonic goth metal band Age Of Sinfonia will be performing the Youth Olympic Games on 21 August at *scape Youth Park stage from 4.30 - 6.30pm. Joining alongside the talented band will be Supernova and Run Neon Tiger and judging from their recent performance at the Singapore Street Festival, expect a wonderful show marrying the sounds of metal and classical music into a melody that is soothing to your ears while at the same time allows you to headbang in unison with the others. Look out for their upcoming EP by the end of the year, its the rise of the symphony and Age Of Sinfonia is leading the charge!

It has been undoubtedly a productive year for local symphonic goth metal band Age Of Sinfonia as the year 2010 kicks off with a change of personnel, constant gig appearances and most importantly, adding the final touches to their upcoming EP album Capriccio. In an interview conducted by Metal Horde Singapore, they had the opportunity to interview Age Of Sinfonia days after their performance at the Singapore Street Festival and present the questions that local listeners wanted to know about via email and social networking sites with the band eagerly giving their responses in return

Metal Horde Singpapore (MH): Congratulations on your recent performance at *Scape (as part of the Singapore Street Festival) What were the emotions that were running through your mind before going onstage?

Indonesian industrial rockers Koil have released a new video from their Blacklight Shines On album and it is poised to be a hit with viewers from the start of the first frame directed by Rizal Mantovani. The four piece stompers comprising of J.A.V (Vocals) Donnijantoro (Guitars) Leon Ray Legoh (Drums) and Adam Vladvamp (Bass) have 5 albums under their belt throughout their 17 year history and the Bandung based band are influenced by the likes of Pink Floyd, Tool, White Zombie and Rammstein just to name a few. If the name Vladvamp sounds familiar to the gothic subculture in Singapore, it is simply no mere coincidence as he dropped by to assume DJ duties as the main headliner for the Singapore Dark Alternative Movement's Halloween party held at Hyde Bar last year and word has it that he might return sometime soon but with Koil on tow. Updates will be posted here on Fortress Of Tears on any official news but meanwhile, enjoy their latest launch right here:
