Rudyard's presents Sanctus Bellum * Kin of Ettins * Project Armageddon.

Sanctus Bellum - (Houston, TX) Formed in late 2008 by bassist Ben Yaker and guitarist Jan Kimmel, Sanctus Bellum plays doom and classic metal with influences such as Sabbath, Maiden, and Pentagram.  As 2011 approaches, the band is hard at work in preparation for its sophomore release. Thus far, the new material, including metal epic The Shining Path and the doom and NWOBHM influenced Ephaniah, is decidedly more complex than the songs on Return to Dust, featuring a noticeable increase in guitar solos and harmonies while retaining the group’s strong and focused songwriting.

Kin of Ettins - (Dallas, TX) Kin of Ettins first came into being in late 2004, when vocalist/guitarist ..J?tun.., formerly of Texas doomites ..Midian.., began writing & recording songs for a new project. Having been inspired by 1-piece bands such as Bathory, Falkenbach & Sisters of Mercy, Kin of Ettins was originally intended to be a single man project with emphasis purely on recorded material. However, a change of mind came when it became obvious that not only would live shows be a must, but creative input would be more inspired with the right band chemistry. So long-time friend & bassist extraordinaire ..Donar.. was recruited into the fold in early 2006. Now an actual group, Donar's exceptional playing, technological know-how, and professsional attitude amplified the work ethic exponentially and by late '06 the first official recordings were being envisioned.

Project Armageddon - (Houston, TX) PROJECT ARMAGEDDON Featuring members from Houston,TX epic-doom band:Well Of Souls, Project Armageddon is the sonic culmination of roaring thunder, melody and precision immersed in the shadows of doom that is planet Earth. Project Armageddon members; Brandon Johnson(Gtr), Raymond Mathews(Thunder & Lightning), and Dok Hollada(Bass,Gtr,Vox)sought a means to vent their frustrations of the world's harrowing plight into the Abyss.
