Rotem

The only details we have regarding a release date for the final product is… “2017”. Which gives them plenty of time to put finishing touches towards the production and packaging!
Starblind
Starblind are back! The band present a new singer and a new album in 2017. Same heavy metal as before. Please welcome Marcus Sannefjord Olkerud to the Starblind family! We’ve no more details on the album itself, but with the addition of Marcus to the line-up, we know that things are definitely underway and a release can be expected sometime in the next 363 days.
Rückwater
Rückwater is a three-headed stoner rock monster hailing from Tampere, Finland. Their new EP named Bonehead is due to be released on February 24th 2017 by Secret Entertainment. Heartfelt lyrics, strong tunes, two asskickin’ lead singers and a boogie that varies from furious to mellow makes this record worth a listen.
Rückwater has shared a stage with names like Joey Belladonna and stoner legends Karma To Burn, so this really is a band to watch out for.
