Happy to introduce everyone to Psychara, alternative model from the Netherlands. 1- What inspired you to do modeling? Was there a point early in your life that sparked your interest? I wore this alternative style since I was 11 or 12 (well, very babygoth-y in the beginning ofc!) and photographers ask me to model for them when I was around 16, because they liked my style so much! c: So since then I'm doing modeling and photographers ask me to work with them or model stuff for companies! 2- You have dark elements to your style, was there an event or moment that made you decide on your style? I grew up with the gothic metal music my dad listened to, and I always liked that music as well. I noticed the beautiful clothing they wore and I just absolutely adored it! Nothing really 'dark' happened to me, I'm just a regular girl with a unregular look! ^ 3^ 3- Name some of your favorite music or bands? I actually listen to a lot of kinds...

Melodic death metal from Sursee Switzerland. The project began in 2006 as two members and are current a five piece beast. The first track from this EP is a clean guitar intro with some eerie voice samples, very good beginning. First song is "Because of You" catchy riffs starts nice vocal attacks, remind me of old In Flames or The Haunted. "Exit" much faster than the first song, aggressive riffs and more double kick action on the drums. The Devils Rage track shows great dynamics of the rhythm section, however did not build into anything else towards its finale. The band has moved to a couple of different rehearsal spaces in the past years and working on maintaining a solid drummer. This EP is a full conception currently with five members. "Glorious Liberation" is my favorite song of the entire composition, the riffs are memorable, although I expected to hear some solo work it never materialized.  "Inhuman" I hear a heavy Amon Amarth influence on t...

Introducing BioDax industrial dancer/model 1- What inspired you to do modeling? Was there a point early in you life that sparked your interest? Each day I am seeing a lot of people who are afraid to express themselves or doing so only where they are alone or something like that. So I have decided to do some expression of my own, and modeling is one of the things that I can go with. 2- There a dark elements to your style, was there an event or moment that made you decide on this style? Let's face it, life isn't made only of bright colors or everything that is nice and sweet. Where there is light there are also shadows. I think it all started with some metal concerts and little by little I got where I am now. 3- Name some of your favorite music or bands? At a moment I really like industrial music. Such bands as Phosgore, Centhron, Alien Vampires, Agonoize, Chainreactor, Nachtmahr, Wynardtage. Then there is metal. I used to listen to Slipknot, Debauchery, Ar...

Munkinpure is hard rock/alternative band from the UK. I really like the level of production on this EP, lots of clean guitars come through with great clarity. Starting with the first track "Killing Time" the main vocals/drums (Travis Marc) has a unique style, very distinct when you hear his voice. This song has a very catchy chorus an instantly sticks in your head the moment you hear it. "Better Than Ever" has great drums happening, lots of great rolls and fills- its impressive to hear that since drums are holding down the main vocals. The band started out in 2008 and were originally from South Africa where they played many venues and most definitely left their mark. They relocated to the UK in 2010. Other releases include "For Lack of a Better Word" EP and full length "This is Where The Money Went". Next up in my listening experience is "TV Credits" its great to hear a collaboration of vocal harmonies which blend beautifully together, ...

Satanic death metal from Mexico. A five piece band bringing us hell itself in the form of old school death metal. The album is divided into nine chapters. "Serpents Council" begins our dark exploration of infernal nightmares. The intro is ominous and leads into a great DM style solo which kicks off the devastation. I am reminded of old Sinister or Deicide. "Ceremony of The Impure" with chants and double kick domination we get to hear the level of skill the drummer is possessing in this particular track.  "Ravenous Apocalyptic Raids" is a short track almost reminiscent of Behemoth or Dimmu. "Towards Battlefields" killer grind beats can be heard along with raw guitars. "Purification by the Sword" very interesting guitar riffs begin this song and stick in my brain right away, the two create an interesting pitch harmony that is truly haunting to my senses.  This band was conceived in the winter of 2009 and have a demo which was recorded in ...

Introducing - Nocturnium, Lady of Luna. Countess of the Occult.  freelance model and reviewer for Metal-Rules.com 1-What inspired you to do modeling? Was there a point early in your life that sparked your interest? 
 I wouldn’t say I ever had the desire to model, but I always had an interest in art and style from a young age. It was a very recent decision to get into modeling. I was contacted by an agency, did a few shoots and decided I really enjoyed it! I had done a few in the past, mostly through an interest in art, working with published artists to create images for collections and gallery displays, but very little came of that, and despite not receiving pay, got none of my images back. I was very young and naive. Now I’m armed with the knowledge and the passion, it’s time to take on the alternative scene by force. 2-You have dark elements to your style, was there an event or moment that made you decide on your style? 
 I’ve always been drawn to darker ima...
