Sabaton

Sabaton was formed back in 1999 in Falun, Sweden and worked hard with demos and small club shows just like any other band. An album was recorded in 2002 bearing the name of Fist for Fight on an independent label in Italy, but was never released. By 2004, the band was becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of marketing opportunities available for their album, so eventually they decided that their best strategy would be start over with new material .

Motorhead

Motörhead are a British hard rock band formed in 1975 by bassist, singer and songwriter Lemmy Kilmister, who has remained the sole constant member.
While Motörhead are typically classified as heavy metal, speed metal or thrash metal (and often regarded as a foundational influence on the later two styles), Lemmy dislikes such labels, preferring to describe the band's music simply as "rock n' roll".

Vors

2002 m. grupę „VORS“ įkūrė KTU radistai Andrius (groja bosu) ir Laurynas (gitara/vokalas). Netrukus prisijungė klavišininkė Živilė ir būgnininkas Vitalijus. Grupės stilius anuomet sviro į klasikinio/gotikinio roko pusę. 2002 m. kolektyvas debiutavo festivalyje „Geležinė Pilis“ Vilniuje. Rudenį į grupę atėjo groti naujas būgnininkas Viačeslavas, kurį po metų pakeitė Paulius (ex „KARMA“). Nuo tada grupės gyvenimas gerokai suaktyvėjo. Buvo ne tik atnaujinta programa, bet ir pasikeitė grojimo stilius – „VORS“ perėjo prie hardroko. Atsinaujinimo rezultatas – debiutinis albumas „Demo“.
