Ameriška skupina Virgin steele pravkar končuje drugi del albuma The House Of Atreus. Prvi del je bil končan pred tedni. Po izdaji pa se bodo lotili operne verzije albuma Marriage Of Heaven And Hell, poleti pa jih bomo videli na festivalih v Evropi.

Skupina Riot bo imela skupaj z Anvil in Agent steel evropsko turnejo. Na turneji bo skupina predstavila nov album Sons Of Society. Po Wollandovih besedah naj bi se trojica ustavila tudi pri nas in to 30. januarja.
