Some may say they are not fitting 100% on a KEEP IT TRUE Festival, but I have to disagree big time. The band plays their melodic song in such a passionate way and are superb songwriters. These are newcomers that fit perfectly in the KIT world, that ranges from melodic till aggressive extremes in the underground. On top of that they are also metalheads and went to KIT themselves already several times. In the end it comes down to the music and the latest album "Mysteria" is such a fantastic melodic album that could have been released in the 80s. Its one of the albums i listened the most in the last months and it never gets any boring. The band loves and lives that era with a passion and I know many of the KIT fans already "secretly" listen to them. I know who you all are :-). Please check out the video in the comments to get a better impression if you do not know them yet. ![]()

EAGLEWING from Colorado released a SENSATIONAL good 7" single last year and are one of the biggest hopefuls for Classic and US Metal nowadays. They right now finalize their first full length album that will hit us in the autumn hopefully. Singer Ross Taylor Murphy has such an extraordinary great voice in the vein of Rhett Forrester and Bon Scott, but completely Metal fueled. They just played a fantastic show at Legions Of Metal Festival in Chicago and will play theit first European show at KIT in 2026. In the comments you can find the two 7" tracks that will blow your mind. ![]()

HELL FREEZES OVER are a Japanese band that released one full length five years ago plus several EPs. Somehow they were always flying under the radar in the scene and last year I saw them live in Tokyo and they totally blew me away. It was like seeing an 80s Power/Speed Metal band in their glory days. Such an energetic and entertaining live band. The full length that got released five years ago is also amazing. So it was about time to get these maniacs over to Europe for the first time so people can see how great they are. I put a video in the comments. ![]()
