Allow me to introduce myself – Tobias Stulz, an accomplished 23-year-old guitarist whose lifelong musical journey ignited from a young age. At just 8 years old, I picked up a guitar, and from that moment on, a profound love affair with the instrument began to shape my destiny.

Growing up, my commitment to my craft drove me to pursue a high school diploma from a specialized music-focused institution. This transformative experience not only sharpened my skills but also deepened my grasp of music's intricate language, forming the bedrock for my future as a musician.

VOWER is a new project formed by British musicians Rabea Massaad (Toska, The Totemist), Josh Mckeown (Palm Reader), Rory McLean, Joe Gosney and Liam Kearley (both formerly of Black Peaks). With a combined experience of over a decade playing together in various bands, they've forged a deep creative connection. VOWER allows them to explore uncharted territories in heavy music, a space where experimentation reigns and pure musical joy takes centre stage.

Their music is a powerful blend of post-rock’s atmospheric soundscapes, progressive metal's expansive structures, and the raw energy of post-hardcore. It's a sonic journey that throws off limitations and dives headfirst into the unknown. VOWER represents the immense potential that arises when passionate musicians come together, a promise to keep pushing boundaries and deliver ever-evolving, powerful music.

RORY MCLEAN | VOWER

Hi, my name is Rory McLean and I play bass in the band VOWER. 

I started playing music when I was 12, anything that made a musical note I was fascinated by and I would dedicate any free time I had to playing and writing music (I still do!). I then went on to study Bass at the ACM in Guildford UK and honed my craft here as a bass player. 

I am currently playing a GPS Corvette STD 5 and a Thumb NT 5. The Warwick sound is crucial to the sound of VOWER and there is no other bass that provides that snarl and growl.

With my Rockboard I needed something versatile and compact while also being future-proof and customisable. Having the MOD patchbays built-in is a game changer for me. Setting up on stage is so quick and efficient as it all powers off of one cable and any cabling happens from that one patchbay at the back.

Humans As Ornaments have always felt at home in a space of musical experimentation. Their songs contain a variety of influences - always delivered with a raw emotional intensity. Drawing from various genres between Post-Punk, Art-Rock, R&B and HipHop, the childhood friends Dave and Dennis continuously try to find connections within opposites. As a result, their sound is distinctly individual and uncompromising - somewhere between making you lose your shit and getting a melody stuck in your head.

Humans as Ornaments

Katja Seiffert makes music with conviction. With the passionate self-empowerment songs of Blush Always' fall 2023 debut "You Deserve Romance," she playfully adapted the sound of 90s indie rock for the present day, relying not only on irresistible melodies and captivating intensity but also standing out from many of her peers by sounding like an artist whose love for music is greater than the desire for fame.

Blush Always

Antilopen Gang besteht aus den Rappern Danger Dan, Koljah und Panik Panzer. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Gangs beanspruchen sie kein bestimmtes Territorium, jedoch haben auch sie gangtypische Erkennungszeichen wie Tätowierungen, Sprachcodes und einen eigenen Humor.

Zacharie Defaut Live Pedalboard

In 2019, Zacharie finally formed his Blues trio. The Zacharie Defaut Trio was born from a desire to return to the roots of Blues and Vintage Rock, the very essence of the electric guitar. With Flavien You on bass, and his winning partner Kevin Lika on drums. It was after a trip to Los Angeles that Zacharie was endorsed by Morgan Amplification, then by Coppersound Pedals with whom he would form close ties. In 2019, he worked in collaboration with Coppersound on a unique Fuzz pedal that would reflect the sound he wanted. It was a success, the Captain Hook was released in December to the delight of guitarists. Subsequently, Zacharie signed with Savarez Strings for 2 years, then joined D'Addario Strings. With his trio, Zacharie released his first album Little Boy as a singer-guitarist in 2020. It was a great success and the ZD3 journey was launched. In the tradition of Hendrix, Gary-Clark Jr, or SRV, Zacharie immediately proved himself on the guitar, and made a name for himself among the promising young French guitarists of his era. Zacharie played a series of concerts and received support from his department by joining the summer scenes program, allowing him to be subsidized during his 2021 tour. 2022 marked a turning point for Zacharie because he met Edward Rogers, an outstanding keyboardist, who joined the band, thus giving birth to the Zacharie Defaut Band. The new richness of the writing and arrangements therefore steered the project in a more soul and pop-rock vein. After the release of several singles, 2023 will be marked by the release of Waiting For A Sign, a three-part album bringing together no less than 17 tracks with broad and rich influences. Once again Zacharie shows us his penchant for music with 70s colors, pop vocals, but blues riffs. It is a completely self-produced album, recorded and mixed by Zacharie and which will earn him numerous radio broadcasts on blues stations, in France, Belgium and then Canada. After a notable appearance at the Festival des Rendez-vous de l'Erdre in Nantes, Zacharie and his musicians won a Jury Prize awarded by the members of France Blues in September 2023. Approved by some bigwigs and players of French Blues, Zacharie therefore joined this France Blues network. The Zacharie Defaut Band quickly made a place for itself in the world of Blues-Rock and guitar. 2023 is marked in particular by great opening acts such as Keziah Jones, Trust, and Joe Louis Walker. Barely a few months after the release of his second album, Zacharie feels the urge to compose and create again. He sets himself the challenge of writing a third and new album as a Trio (ZD3), a sort of ultimate return to the source. Milady is therefore born from a desire to pay tribute to this instrument that Zacharie loves so much, the electric guitar, by giving it a central place in the writing of these 9 new tracks. The album is recorded the old-fashioned way: without artifice, without makeup. Kevin, Flavien and Zacharie lock themselves in a chalet in the mountains, taking with them a whole portable studio (consoles, microphones, preamps), in order to make timeless sound recordings themselves in a place cut off from the world. The tracks are recorded live, giving the pieces a power and sincerity that is so rare these days. It will only take a few days for Milady to be born. Release: May 3, 2024. Additional work: In addition to devoting himself body and soul to his solo project, Zacharie also accompanies many artists, as a guitarist, but also as a producer, or musical director (Robin, Edward Rogers, Jeff Mailfert, Herjay, Grissun, and many others). Since 2022, Zacharie has also worked hand in hand with Woodbrass and becomes the official demonstrator of the Guitar/Bass & Studio/Mic/Mix department. At the same time, in November 2023, Zacharie is putting together a Red Hot Chilli Peppers Tribute, called Red Hot Cherry Peppers. The group already has around ten festival dates for the 2024 season.

Getting out of the House Tour Board

Bass Board- Ian Sweet Tour

Tour Board - Girli June 2026

Kaycie Satterfield makes gritty dream pop from her northeast Los Angeles apartment.

While that might call to mind rough-and-ready lo-fi gems, Satterfield instead captures a production style as lush and intimate as her inner world. Resistant to genre constraints, within Satterfield’s music synthy 90’s-tinged pop may be curtailed by post-punk inspired guitar melodies or fuzzed out slowcore ballads set to trip hop beats.

Satterfield leans into the endless, prickly change inherent in life. So when the sought-after touring guitarist broke her wrist in 2020 and was entirely unable to play her instrument for months, she had no choice but to embrace change. “Guitar is my main source of continuity and income,” she says. “So I had to learn how to think outside of my current conventions and to work with limitations.” First, she needed to figure out how to write and play with one hand tied behind her back. But a breakup and four subsequent cross-country moves meant she'd have to make peace with far more drastic change. Rather than be stuck in dated patterns and stories, Satterfield was newly determined to tell her story her own way. She did what any rational person would do and took the endless time and collective uncertainty of that year to learn the basics of synthesis and music production. 

The resulting album, 2024’s Rosie is a glistening slice which bolsters Satterfield’s songwriting with a new perspective and rich, synth-driven production. Since its release, Rosie has accumulated hundreds of thousands of streams, as well as extensive college radio play, features on BIRP.fm’s playlist, slots on David Dean Burkhart’s playlist, and multiple opening slots.

Ever since she got her first acoustic guitar, inspired by seeing Sheryl Crow on TV, Satterfield has used music to simultaneously understand herself and connect with others. Growing up in Texas, she often felt like a misfit socially and ideologically. Satterfield demonstrates the power of new perspectives, both in her process and in the compositions’ empathic catharsis. 

Her new music explores the way that joy and rage live in our bodies in the current sociopolitical climate.

Hey! I play guitar and over-process the mix for Whispered.

Nuujets is my instrumental project born from the need to give voice to the music that had long existed only in my head. It is where I channel years of experience and personal growth into a distinctive sound — intricate yet emotionally raw.

My debut album, While I Compress My Depression, is currently in the recording process. It condenses four years of composition, reflection, and artistic evolution into a sonic journey that explores melancholy, harmonic tension, and instrumental catharsis.

The influences behind Nuujets are wide-ranging: from the explosive energy of The Fall of Troy to the compositional elegance of Leo Brouwer, the jazz finesse of Joe Pass, and the modern expressiveness of Yvette Young. All of these elements are filtered through a punk spirit, marked by the rawness and attitude of bands like The Misfits, which strongly shape my musical identity.

On social media, Nuujets has been steadily building a growing and highly engaged community. My content combines introspective musical moments with humor, offering an honest and sometimes playful glimpse into the creative process.

The RockBoard CINQUE 5.3 has been a game changer compared to my old setup—it’s streamlined, rock-solid, and incredibly easy to set up and pack down. With the RockBoard Mod 3 patchbay and ISO Power Block V12, I get a clean and reliable signal path every time, making my rig more efficient than ever.

Whether I’m performing on stage or lifting on the competition floor, my goal remains the same—to inspire and entertain. Thanks to RockBoard, I can focus on the music without worrying about the gear.

Currently touring with amazing songwriter Nat Lefkoff.

Pioneer of the guitar on the internet, Laura Cox has led the way for many young guitarists and is now at the forefront of the current landscape of guitarists in France and beyond. 
From bedroom recordings of Sweet Home Alabama [Lynyrd Skynyrd] and alikes uploaded on YouTube as early as 2008], she gathered a loyal following of half a million subscribers and her re-interpretations of classic rock songs (that also feature her on the banjo, lapsteel or bass).

She have reached more than 100 million viewers across the globe.
The multi-instrumentalist is one of the few artists who managed to break out of the virtual bubble and bring her musical vision to life with her own band: After two albums released in 2017 and 2019 (Verycords/Warner) and having played the biggest, most prominent stages for rock music in France (Hellfest, Download Festival, Guitare en Scène, etc.), Laura Cox is now back with "Head Above Water", a long-awaited album with a more personal take and a solid anchoring in rock.

 

This third studio album proves once again that Laura knows how to re-invent herself while she is revealing new facets of her musical talent. Recorded at the renowned ICP studios in Brussels, and mastered by Ted Jensen (The Eagles, The Rolling Stones, etc.), "Head Above Water" is ready to rock the boat. In her riffs and solos, Laura masters both flow and precision and her playing clearly shows that this woman knows how to take a guitar apart. Blending classic rock with bluegrass elements in an unparalleled ease, Laura Cox once again illustrates that she will remain a driving force in a new generation of rock guitarists in the years to come

This success has taken them on tour through the country’s most iconic live clubs, major arenas, and top summer festivals, performing in front of thousands of people at every show.

Alongside their live success, CdA has earned significant recognition, appearing on national television (Rai 1) and collaborating with major figures in Italian entertainment—most notably, Carlo Verdone, who chose the band to arrange a track for his TV series Vita da Carlo 3.

After years of success and a growing fanbase, CdA is now evolving their artistic direction.

Rasmus Ehrnborn is a Swedish musician whose journey has led him to stages across the world as bassist for Soilwork and lead guitarist for The Night Flight Orchestra. His path began with a deep curiosity for music — not only how to play it, but how to write it, shape it, and bring it to life.

With Soilwork, Rasmus plays bass and writes music, helping shape the band’s distinctive mix of intensity and melody. His studio work with the group began on the acclaimed EP A Whisp of the Atlantic and continued with the full-length album Övergivenheten, where his low-end rumble helped expand the band’s sound while staying true to its roots. On stage, he brings energy and precision, grounding the band’s performances with both power and groove.

In The Night Flight Orchestra, Rasmus plays lead guitar and writes music, helping define the band’s melodic, cinematic rock sound. He stepped into the role following the passing of David Andersson, and before that occasionally filled in on bass, percussion, and keyboards whenever extra hands were needed. Having appeared as a session musician on previous albums, his first album as the lead guitarist of the band was Give Us the Moon, on which he also wrote songs.

Earlier in his career, Rasmus performed with artists and bands such as Paul Di’Anno and Sweet, experiences that broadened his approach to both live performance and studio work. While he occasionally shares his experience through workshops, most of Rasmus’s time is spent writing, recording, and touring.

His work has also led to partnerships with trusted gear brands, including ESP Guitars and Basses, EBS Bass Amps and Effects, BLACKSTAR Amplifiers, Dunlop/MXR, and now ROCKBOARD, whose tools help him deliver reliable tone night after night.

Rasmus’s story is one of steady growth — from musician to songwriter, from stage performer to creative collaborator. Whether laying down intricate lines with Soilwork or soaring melodies with The Night Flight Orchestra, his focus remains simple: to serve the song and connect with audiences through music.

Alex Main Pedal Board

Alex is best known for his mastery of both heavy metal and jazz guitar (also fluent in a multitude of styles, from blues to funk to flamenco-inspired acoustic).  

While a sixteen year old student of Joe Satriani, Alex, the son of Ivy League academics, joined Bay Area thrash metal outfit Testament. He uplifted the band with a sense of harmony and technique unheard of in the genre at the time. At eighteen, he recorded the first of five albums with the band’s original lineup, touring almost non-stop until his early 90s departure from the group.  By that time, he'd begun working with virtuoso bassists Stuart Hamm and Michael Manring. 

During the next decade, he left his touring life and guitar hero status behind in order to become a full-time University student. Inspired by the likes of John Scofield, Pat Martino, George Benson and others, he moved to New York to earn a BfA in Jazz from The New School. There he studied with such prestigious artists as Vic Juris, Cecil McBee and Reggie Workman, as well as taking classes in philosophy and creative writing. 

In the early 00’s, Alex released the first of several critically acclaimed albums with his eponymous trio, which had begun as a New School student ensemble. AST would go on to perform worldwide, receive extensive radio play and be described as such in Downbeat by journalist Bill Milkowski: “Skolnick runs the guitaristic gamut from lush chord melodies to Wes Montgomery-style octaves to screaming Sonny Sharrock-esque skronking” (Jan 2017).

In the mid-2000’s, Alex reunited with Testament, the impact of which eclipsed the band’s initial run, bringing them closer in status to tourmates such as Slayer, Megadeth and Lamb of God, the latter of whom has featured Alex as guest soloist. 

The 2020s has found Alex in an exciting new musical collective, PAKT, featuring fretless bass legend Percy Jones, best known for the pioneering fusion group Brand X (with Phil Collins) and work with Brian Eno, along with acclaimed experimental guitarist Tim Motzer and Drummer Kenny Grohowski (Brand X, John Zorn). 

In addition, bass master Stuart Hamm – who’d hired Alex back in the 90s for the guitarist’s first instrumental music tour (and opening doors to music beyond metal) – released Hold Fast, Stu’s long awaited LP with Alex on guitar. 

He is also a featured guitarist on recordings by Jane Getter Premonition, a project co-produced by and featuring his former New School instructor Adam Holzman (longtime Miles Davis keyboardist and Steven Wilson collaborator) along with a rotating cast of top players including drummer Gene Lake and bassist Mark Egan (of Pat Metheny Group). 

Before it’s untimely closing in 2022, Greenwich Village’s most prestigious jazz rock venue, 55 Bar, booked Alex in various ensembles and included him in a formal group photograph of New York’s improvisational luminaries. 

 In 2020, Alex launched Moods & Modes, a radio short-story podcast in which he is the host, producer and composer. With a unique take on musical thought, education, analysis, jam sessions and interviews, Moods & Modes has been a fixture on the Apple Podcast charts, ranking high in the category of “Musical Commentary.” Alex’s Moods & Modes guests have included Pat Metheny, Antonio Sanchez, bassist/rapper Divinity Roxx, Snarky Puppy’s Michael League as well as Frampton, Vai, Johnson and Satriani and Al Di Meola.

 In addition, Alex  is a respected writer. His 2021 extended essay for the academic current affairs journal Newlines, “Shut Up and Play Your Guitar,” became the second most shared article in the magazine’s history. His widely read Substack newsletter includes longform essays exploring the work of Thomas Pynchon, as well as Jeff Beck. 

His social media posts are often picked up and debated on mainstream music and culture websites, from Yahoo to Pitchfork to NME. 

Over the years, he has contributed numerous articles to other nationally distributed publications from Guitar Player, Guitar World, The Talkhouse, Unbuilt and others. He has also given keynote addresses at academic events such as Dayton University’s Metal and Cultural Impact conference as well as joining various PhDs at the International Society for Metal Studies in Helsinki. 

Alex has his own line of ESP signature guitars and a signature pickup made by Seymour Duncan. Additional product endorsements include D’Addario, Taylor Guitars, Godin Guitars, IK Multimedia, Orange Amps, Sadowsky Guitars, Gator cases and more. Whether he’s appearing at sophisticated jazz venues such as Yoshi’s in Northern California or The Blue Note in Milan, Italy or shredding at full volume at heavy music festivals such as France’s Hellfest or Germany’s Wacken Open Air, it’s safe to say that Skolnick has found his own niche as a guitarist. 

“Though he’s pretty much a household name in heavy metal, Alex defies categorization by musical genre.” (Making Music Magazine, Jan 2015).


Biohazard is a legendary hardcore/metal band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 1987. They're widely recognized as one of the first bands to blend hardcore punk, heavy metal, and hip-hop/rap elements into a raw, aggressive sound that helped pave the way for rap-metal and groove metal in the '90s.
Classic Lineup

Billy Graziadei — vocals, rhythm guitar
Evan Seinfeld — vocals, bass
Bobby Hambel — lead guitar
Danny Schuler — drums

This is the original core (with minor early drum changes) that defined their peak era.
Sound and Impact
Biohazard's music is heavy, fast, and groovy, with shouted vocals, crushing riffs, and socially conscious, street-level lyrics about urban life, violence, politics, and survival in New York. Tracks like "Punishment" (from their breakthrough album Urban Discipline) became massive anthems in the hardcore and metal scenes.
Key albums from their classic period:

Biohazard (1990) – Raw debut
Urban Discipline (1992) – Their biggest commercial success (over 1 million copies sold), featuring "Punishment"
State of the World Address (1994) – Another million-seller with hits like "Tales from the Hard Side"

The band has sold millions of records worldwide overall and built a die-hard following for their intense live shows.
History Highlights
After lineup changes and a hiatus, the original four reunited in 2022/2023. They hit the road hard and released their first new album in over a decade, Divided We Fall (2025). It's packed with the classic Biohazard energy—slamming riffs, fat grooves, and no-compromise attitude. Songs like "Fk the System**" and "Eyes On Six" show they're still bringing the fire.
They're currently touring in support of the new record (including runs with Onyx and festival dates).
In short: Biohazard are Brooklyn hardcore pioneers who helped shape the crossover sound of the '90s and are back stronger than ever with their classic lineup. If you like heavy, raw, and real underground music, they're essential.
Check out Urban Discipline or the new Divided We Fall to hear what all the noise is about. Brooklyn in your face!

Biohazard

Powerflo is a high-octane rap-metal supergroup from Los Angeles, formed in 2016. It brings together heavy-hitters from the '90s underground scene for a raw, aggressive blend of hip-hop, hardcore, metal, and punk.
Core Lineup

Sen Dog (Cypress Hill) — lead vocals/raps (the fiery frontman)
Billy Graziadei (Biohazard / BILLYBIO) — rhythm guitar, vocals
Christian Olde Wolbers (ex-Fear Factory) — bass
Fred Aching -drums

The chemistry runs deep — Sen Dog and Billy have been friends for decades, with roots tracing back to the classic Judgment Night soundtrack era.
Sound and Vibe
Powerflo delivers straight-up working-class aggression: heavy riffs, pounding grooves, street-smart rap verses, and shouted hooks. Think old-school rap-metal energy with modern punch — no frills, all attitude. Songs often hit on defiance, survival, and real-life grit.
Discography

Powerflo (self-titled debut, 2017) — Their breakthrough album, packed with bangers like “Resistance,” “My M.O.,” and “Victim of Circumstance.”
Bring That Shit Back (EP, 2018)
Gorilla Warfare (new album, released November 2024) — Their long-awaited return, full of fresh fire including the title track and “War Machine.” It keeps the raw energy while pushing the sound forward.

Quick History
Billy Graziadei and Sen Dog’s long friendship turned into a full band project around 2015–2016. The debut dropped in 2017 to strong reviews for reviving that authentic '90s crossover spirit. After some releases and touring, the band went quiet for a bit while members focused on their main projects (Biohazard reunion, Cypress Hill, etc.). They roared back in 2024 with Gorilla Warfare, proving the chemistry is still explosive.
If you love Biohazard, Cypress Hill’s heavier side, or classic rap-metal (like early Rage or the Judgment Night vibe), Powerflo is right in your wheelhouse.
Start with the 2017 self-titled album or the new Gorilla Warfare that came out in 2024 — crank it loud. Pure underground energy!

Powerflo

BILLYBIO is the raw, no-holds-barred solo project of Billy Graziadei (Biohazard, Powerflo, Firewater Studios).
Launched in 2018, it’s Billy’s most personal outlet — 100% unrestricted creativity where he blends his signature New York hardcore, groove metal, and hip-hop influences without compromise.
Sound
Heavy, fast, groovy, and full of street-level energy. Expect crushing riffs, aggressive vocals (shouts + rap-infused delivery), and lyrics drawn from real life, urban grit, and personal fire. It carries the spirit of classic Biohazard but feels even more direct and unfiltered.
Discography

Feed The Fire (2018) — Debut album. High-energy bangers including the title track. Mixed by Tue Madsen and praised for keeping the underground spirit alive while sounding fresh and modern.
Leaders And Liars (2022) — Second full-length via AFM Records. Continues the momentum with tracks like “Turn The Wounds,” “Black Out,” and “Fallen Empires.” It channels old-school NYHC vibes (think Agnostic Front/Cro-Mags energy) mixed with Billy’s evolved style.

He’s also released singles like “Freedom’s Never Free” and “Rise and Slay.”
Live & Tours
Billy launched BILLYBIO with a European tour supporting Life of Agony (his “family” from the NY scene) right as the debut dropped. The shows mixed new solo material with a few Biohazard classics and were known for their high-octane, intimate underground feel.
Current Status (2026)
While Billy has been fully focused on the Biohazard reunion and their 2025 album Divided We Fall, BILLYBIO remains his pure solo voice. It’s where songs that didn’t fit the band context naturally landed during Biohazard’s quieter years.
If you’re a fan of Biohazard’s classic sound or Powerflo’s rap-metal edge, BILLYBIO delivers that same Brooklyn-bred intensity — just rawer and more personal.

Music has been Billy Graziadei’s heartbeat since day one. Starting at age six on the family’s out-of-tune upright piano with his Mother singing along, he soaked up every influence from his Uncle and Grandfather, both accomplished musicians…. until punk rock ignited the fire.
That spark exploded him into New York’s late-80s hardcore scene, where he co-founded BIOHAZARD, pioneers who fused hardcore, metal, and rap into a savage urban sound. The band sold over 5 million records and toured the world multiple times over!
With an audio engineering degree and years of studio experience, Billy opened Firewater Studios. Teaming up with Sen Dog (Cypress Hill), he launched the supergroup POWERFLO in 2015.
At the same time, he unleashed his solo project BILLYBIO, 100% raw, no filters, no compromises.
“I’ve always wanted this. This is me, heavy, fast, groovy, and pure fire. Feed The Fire is just the beginning.”
Now, after two BILLYBIO and two Powerflo releases behind him, Biohazard reunted in 2023! The original lineup is back stronger than ever. Their new album Divided We Fall is earning rave reviews worldwide.
Pure energy. Pure Billy. The underground just got louder.
