Heavy/power metal/classic metal – SCOTLAND
Tantrum is a band from Glasgow that has been working continuously for almost a decade. During that time, together with the actual one, they released 3 albums, several EP’s and singles. They had problems with frequent line-up changes, and probably because of that, one “prominent” career path, I guess, did not go in the desired direction.

Birdfeeder are a team made up of three friends, active since the 80’s of the previous century, who are generally very little, or not at all, known in these parts of Balkans. There is no doubt that the career of this team was somewhat spontaneous, perhaps less formal, but we have here their current work, which includes 8 songs. In this case, as they say, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a full-length release or an EP.
