Raging Storm Records proudly welcomes BoughtXBlood as its first new signing in over five years. The signing follows a string of recent accomplishments for the band, including a tour stop on the HM Magazine Stage at Creation Fest 2017, an upcoming show with P.O.D. at the Blue Ridge Rock Festival Pre-Party, and the recent release of their new single ‘I’m Done’, a song that takes a tough stance against sin and shows just how much the bands faith impacts their music and their lives.

“I am honored to have the chance to earn not only the business, but the friendship of a band like BoughtXBlood” says label founder Jason Scannell. “These guys represent exactly what we want in a band: hard work, creative music, and a true desire to share their faith. It’s all too easy for bands in this genre to tone down their beliefs, but they stand firm. From the moment I heard BXB, I was not just entertained but convicted. The whole team at Raging Storm stands behind them and their message. We look forward to coming alongside this band and growing together”.

BXB writes: “BoughtXBlood is elated to sign with Raging Storm! We truly feel that God has led us to this point, as He has given, and taken away, in order that His will for BXB be accomplished. It is clear to us that RSR believes in The Message we are trying to convey. Continue reading »

The power metal machine from Sweden Morning Dwell checked in with the following update:

“Affe [Alfred] and Petter have been working hard this spring and summer with a new album. BUT it will not be a new Morning Dwell-album because there are different band members and the sound is different from what MD stand for. Affe and Petter will write more about the new band very soon! AND there will also be more music from MD in the near future! So stay tuned!!”

Morning Dwell‘s sophomore album “The Guardians of Time” has been released on Oct. 25 through Doolittle Group AB. — Blazing tempos, powerful melodies and soaring vocals makes this a perfect power metal album. To reflect Morning Dwell‘s music in art Andreas Marshall (famous for artwork for Hammerfall, Blind Guardian, In Flames etc) created the album art once again. This second album starts off where the first album ended! A natural sequel that includes the same energy from the first album but with some upgrades! Continue reading »
