APHYXION came to be in the summer 2007, highly influenced by the worldwide metal scene. Bands like Submission, Soilwork, Dawn of Demise, The Arcane Order and many others, were some of the main influences at that time – and with such influences, APHYXION were determined to make a unique, ass-kicking and powerful act on the Danish Metal Scene. They recorded their first EP at RIAMUFs studio, Jeppe Andersson handled the mixing and mastering at Hansen Studios, and “Eradication of Fates” finally landed on the streets on 9th of June 2009.

Demo of the Month in GAFFA, a nomination for “The Jack” at the Danish Metal Awards, 2. Place at the Royal Metal Grand Prix, and lots of others stuff. That was 2009, and what APHYXION’s old EP brought them – time has passed, and now they’re ready to annihilate 2010 with their new EP, Obliteration of the Weak, recorded at Hansen Studios and RIAMUF, mixed and mastered by Jeppe Andersson at Hansen Studios!

2010 passed by really fast, and brought APHYXION a lot of live experience. In April, 2011 they won the Danish final of W:O:A Metal Battle, and they had to represent Denmark at W:O:A Festival 2011 (Wacken Open Air Festival).

Make no mistake – age doesn’t matter when you play metal. APHYXION has come to stay, and they’re going to show you that with their latest EP, Obliteration of the Weak.

Downswitch emerged as a band in small town suburbia, Denmark, October 2006.

Creative freedom is very much key to the band - no rules, no boundaries – the first initial ideas are tweaked and adjusted, until it feels just right, or you can put it like:
“until it turns in to a beautiful butterfly wanting to kill everything in sight with its sensors blasting out lethal subtonic sounds making your brain bleed"

Visuals are a natural part of Downswitch. This unfolds in the form of photos, videos and graphics.
The music is the backbone, where categories, subgenres and other labels are not that important to Downswitch - as long as it sets off in metal!

The lyrical universe circles around many issues: political - why is the world in the state it’s in, to more personal issues like why you wake up one morning looking for a reason not to slit your wrists.

The core of the band has changed over the years, but it's still a growing unit. They already passed many milestones such as: Danish tours, European tours, release of the 2010 debut 'Let Clarity Descend From Blackened Skies' on the independent label Dutch Metal Records.

In addition to this they've released three EP's; the latest from 2011 called 'Within The Light' is to be spread across Europe and the rest of the world.
They've managed to make a few videos and have hours on end of video diaries from touring, rehearsing and recording.
In 2009 Downswitch was among the nominated for best Danish Metal Talent of the year 2009.

Through all of these experiences they've become wiser and stronger. They continue to work hard and invest copious amounts of time in the band.

Contrition is a young metal band, consisting of five members; Nico as lead singer, Andreas KB on drums, Morten on bass, and Andreas Koll and Josh both as lead/rythm guitarists. Our growing fanbase has been much appreciated!
