Red Queen Theory is a progressive goth metal band from Seattle, US. We feature an interview with founders of the band Elizabeth (lead vocals) and Dean (bass).

In this special interview, lead singer Elizabeth will take you on a surreal journey into the realm of dreams and fantasy as she narrates how each song was based on her personal dream experiences.

-The Trilogy-
1. Hidden
Min. 5:42
2. The Dream and The Tomb
Min. 11:28
3. Ravens
Min. 16:28

The Trilogy is a three song opus based on a sequence of dreams that begin in Elizabeth's bedroom one cold night. While listening to the sounds of bells in the distance, Elizabeth approaches the window and decides to follow an obscure group of people who lead her to a desert where they witness a bloody battle between two armies. In the aftermath of the battle, they find themselves exhausted and filled with a sense of emptiness. In the distance, they see what seems to be a tavern. Assuming they are in heaven, they enter the tavern and see food, drinks, dancing and best of all there was music. Finally, the dream sequence ends with them dancing to the song Ravens until Elizabeth eventually wakes up from the dream.

-A New Day-
Min. 27:28

A New Day was one of the first songs written by the original duo, Elizabeth and Dean. This song laid the foundation of what was to be Red Queen Theory.

-Saga-
*demo version
Min. 34:48

Lead singer Elizabeth describes another of her dreams in which while on vacation with friends, demons invade Earth, and they are forced to run and hide. Escaping in a space ship, they leave Earth after not being able to defend themselves from the demons. While wondering in space, Elizabeth starts to dream again. Feeling lonely, she remembers dreaming about a boy who she met on Earth. She went looking for him. After finding him in the form of cat, she cries and decides to live with the cat despite him not remembering her. In the last stages of the dream, Elizabeth finds herself staring outside the spaceship window looking down on Earth. Feeling lonely and not sure of the future, she hears someone calling her. It was the cat. It had regained its memory of her. After that she didn't feel lonely anymore. The dream finally ends with Elizabeth having an epiphany. In which she realizes that it's fine to wonder forever in space, as long as you can find someone to wonder with.

-By The Sea-

Female Thrash Metal band from Brazil.“Women can play heavy, too!” -Julia Pombo/Guitars. In this episode we feature SCATHA, chick metal band from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. SCATHA arises as one of the few authentic chick rock bands in Brazil. The band portrays an aggressive thrash metal approach that sounds like early Megadeth albums with a Pantera's “Cowboys From Hell” approach. Intense and heavy vocalization like few female singers can achieve in the metal scene complements the heavy thrash riffs and head banging drum beats. http://myspace.com/scathaband

Industrial Metal from Sweden. Violent Work Of Art has been part of the Swedish Industrial movement for more than 15 years now. Spawning several productions and many tours.
