New singings: MORRIGU (Switzerland) and HYPNOSIS (France)
Finally we can tell you about these two new acts that inked a deal with Dark Balance. Both will release an album beginning of October through Dark Balance. Lets get a closer look into the bands and releases:
MORRIGU
Formed back in 1999, MORRIGU from Switzerland present their second full-length album ‘The Niobium Sky’ (DB011) October 2009. During ten years of existence band members Sevi, Mirko, Viktor, Marc and Merlin (ELUVEITIE) developed their music-style from doom-death metal into a more distinct, melodic and progressive sound. Looking back ten years
ago, the intention of MORRIGU was to unite gloomy and severe metal with a spherical tapestry of sounds and the Celtic worldly wisdom. Inspired by the grey bleakness of the present, in the deep of summer 2007, MORRIGU began to prepare new song ideas. Stylistically the band continues its own way. This all leaded into the signing with Dark
Balance and the release ‘The Niobium Sky’.
HYPNOSIS
HYPNOSIS from France was born in 1993, but the real start took place in 1996, When Patrice (bass), joined forces with the two original members, Cindy (guitar, vocals) and Pierre (guitar, vocals & machines). From then, they started to develop their own style, from the death-metal of the beginning to a more personal sound that can be described as a blend of death-metal riffing and electronic elements, deep growls and original female voices. Albums where released on labels like Black Lotus, Sacral Productions and Bent Records. In 2008 Great Dane Recordings released ‘The Synthetic Light of Hope’ for the France market only. Happily Dark Balance signed with HYPNOSIS to release this album world wide in October 2009.
November 2009 HYPNOSIS will tour +/- 30 days through The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Czech.
Release date of the albums of Morrigu and Hypnosis:
Oct. 1st, 2009: digital through I-Tunes, Napstar, eMusic and others)
Oct. 5th, 2009: UK, BeNeLux, Scandi, Italy, USA, world
Oct. 9th, 2009: CH, AU, Ger

MENA BRINNO
The original founders of MENA BRINNO, Katy Decker and Marius Kozlowski did had to say goodbye to the other bandmembers. Vince Greco has left he band after working with MENA BRINNO since December 2006, primarily for reasons of creative differences. Rob has left the band due to the insane cost of the commute between Naples and Tampa. He put in a great
deal of dedication just to make practices and shows happen but it got to be a bit much financially. Katy and Marius stated: “It is very sad to lose these guys and we will miss their presence in the band!”
Mena Brinno will be seeking new people for these positions over the next several months. Do respond only when you live in the area of Tampa. Please get in touch if you are interested, contact info is found on www.myspace.com/menabrinno.
