INTRODUCTIONS:

Today, we're starting with South Korean band "Luciel"!
Unfortunately, there isn't much information neither on their HP, nor on their official Facebook, so I can't tell you when exactly they debuted. But since they opened up their Facebook in 2011, I guess that's their year of debut.
It doesn't seem like they have already relesed something, however, you can listen to two of their songs on their HP! The band has got a Myspace account and Ameba as well!

As for their line-up, it seems like most of the original members, except for Guitarist Cael, left the band. All got replaced again, except for the Vocalist.

Current members are:
Guitarist Kimi
Guitarist Cael
Bassist Brea.K
Drummer Momo - Twitter
FX Zavitan

Next one is "Lunatic Pandora" from Scotland!
I'm afraid I need to keep this introduction short, because there are only few information about them. Only things we know is that they are musically influenced by bands like Moi Dix Mois, D'espeirs Ray, Malice Mizer, Zilch, HIDE, Versailles, Gackt and HIZAKI GRACE PROJECT and their music genres are Alternative Metal and Industrial Metal Hard Rock. According to their Facebook, updates will be made tomorrow, so let's wait and see what's going to happen!

Let's go to North America now!
"SOL ARDOUR" are a visual kei inspired band from New York, debuted in 2010! Before summing up everything myself, I'll show you their biography from their Facebook, which tells you their story from 2010 until today:

SOL ARDOUR began performing in 2010 as Shola [vo] Artemis [gu] and Siøn [dr]. Each member had varied musical influences, and were brought together by their differing tastes - in the hope of creating something new.

After roughly a year of performing, on October 8th 2011 the band released their first EP "Zero.0.Zero" ; a self produced culmination of music that they'd created with original intent to begin playing shows. The ep gives a glimpse toward what the band truly wants to offer; an intense, ambient and inspiring experience that speaks unites diverse audiences.

The intensity and ambience is something that can be experienced firsthand at any of their shows. The lights dim and the first notes are struck, as the band coaxes you into their world. SOL ARDOUR bursts with energy and elegance as Siøn thrashes out intricate drum patterns. Artemis' guitar regulates the atmosphere, sometimes harsh and headbang inducing, other times soaring. Fronting the charge - Shola sings, growls, seduces and engulfs the audience - making sure every moment connects.

This is just the beginning of what SOL ARDOUR has planned. And there is so much more to look forward to in their future.

There's indeed something to look forward to in the future! The band is just recording their 1st full length studio album entitled "Et Nexus To Utopia"! It will be released soon, so better keep an eye on them!

You can listen to their songs via Facebook, Myspace or their Youtube Channel!
Just some days ago, they uploaded an interesting band documentary. Please check it out:
