13.12. 2009. New band in MaCro roster - We Come One


MaCro Management proudly present: We Come One, one of the most original metal band in a whole world!!! We Come One is a ten-piece instrumental band formed by the members of the Pozega city musical orchestra Trenkovi Panduri, who at first planned to form an unusal brass quintet. However, due to musical ambitions and a tendency towards experimenting, the band invited a classical rock line-up with keyboards, thus forming band that would create music with elements of both classical music and heavy metal, through a prism of wind instruments, which is practically a pioneer attempt in a heavy metal.

In 2006 the band recordet its first, 6-track promo, which included mostly brass arranged covers of Hammerfall, Europe and Edguy. The result was so unusual that the band started to get invitations to participate in large gigs and and festivals, resulting in a series of succesful show across Croatia, with the media showing only positive comments. After the successful promotion of the band in terms of venues and shows, the long awaited promo material Utopia is presented to the fants, which is ony antoher step towards the publishing of the album of the same name, planned for the middle of 2010. Great concert performances, including Doro Pesch support and Croatia Got Talent show, put the We Come one on higer level of Croatian media attendance. Finally, We come one won 3 'Circoolar 2009' awards, Croatian national award for demo bands in main categories; The Best demo band, the best demo and the most original demo band in Croatia.

Even the members of the band find it difficult to explain or categorize We Come One's music, but it's basically an instrumental metal band, lead by a brass quintet, whose music is a mixture of classical mussic and progressive metal with a modern feel, including many genre surprises.

10.11. 2008. Garage TV show on national television HRT 2!


After publishing activities via major Croatian label - Dallas Records, and after the great Iron Maiden support show, Rising Dream is making yet another step into the history of Croatian metal scene. Croatian national television channel 2 – HRT 2, has invited Rising Dream as a special guest within the popular music show “Garaža” (“Garage”) to present their latest work from the debut album 'Failed Apocalypse' on a 30 minutes live show, in front of their fans. This makes Rising Dream the first metal band to promote themselves on air the national TV station, inside the TV show that promotes Croatian urban rock, hip hop, funky… music acts. Hopefully, this event will open many opportunities for still quite blur but promising Croatian metal scene.
The filming of the show 'Garaza' on Croatian Radio-television (HRT) went by in the best possible mood. The band played five songs of the new album and showed the nation-wide audience how Croatian metal is played. The band members were thrilled with how professional the crew and the show hostess were, and wish to extend most heartfelt thanks to all HRT staff working on the project and the fans that were there on the day. The show will be broadcast on November 10th, around 10.30 PM on HRT 2. We'll keep you posted if the time slot changes. We'd also like to thank the KSET crew and the band Inciter for helping us realize this appearance. On Rising Dream's website, you'll soon be able to see a sort of 'behind the scenes' video from the shoot, from the audio, lighting and directing rooms. For all foreign viewers, HRT2 can be reached via satellite - HOT BIRD 6 (HB-6) 13 degrees east (12520 MHz).

08.08.2008. 'Failed Apocalypse' is OUT!


As the mighty prophet Željko Batur predicted, apocalypse was falsely due on 01.01.2000., but will surely happen eight years, eight months and eight days later! As written in ancient scrolls, the almighty apocalypse will begin in Croatia, and more directly in all Dallas music shops. Also, all clairvoyants predict that, two days later, all apocalyptic events will move to Poljud stadium in Split, where doom will be set on 35000 metalheads. After that… the whole world! The doom is inevitable, because when APOCALYPSE FAILS, it fails in the special Rising Dream style. Get wasted with us… while you still can!

05.05. 2008. Rising Dream to support Iron Maiden in Split


One of the most perspective Croatian bands, Rising Dream, have been officially confirmed as Iron Maiden's support for the Somewhere Back In Time show in Split, Croatia. Rising Dream have already supported such famous bands as Helloween, Amon Amarth, Deep Purple and played at major European open air festivals. Being confirmed as Iron Maiden's support band even before releasing their debut album (to be released in August 2008), was a great recognition for their work so far. This is what the band had to say about supporting Maiden (from their website, www.rising-dream.net )

The band will start promoting their album with live gigs, beginning in July 2008, which will be their first shows since supporting Deep Purple in November 2007. In the meantime, they have been recording their debut album Failed Apocalypse which will be issued on August 8th for a major Croatian label, Dallas Records. Rising Dream's co-headline performance this year at the UFO festival with Disbelief, and later on Castle Festival on July 3rd alongside such bands as Cradle of Filth, At The Gates, The 69 Eyes, Soilwork, Adaggio and Secret Sphere will be just the beginning of a series of shows on their 'Failed 2008/2009' European tour.

16.07.2007. Big succes on Masters Of Rock 2007!


Just returned from Masters of Rock and Sinj. What to say. Masters of rock was such a great experience for us. Check the official Rising Dream site for pics. This is our message for all fans and organisers of MOR 2007 festival:

'Ahoy friends... As announced, Rising Dream visited the Czech Republic for the first time and it turned out to be an unbelievable experience! Not only had we seen all those great bands, but we enjoyed the hospitality of the Czech organization and audience. We must truly say that this was one of the best shows we've done surrounded by some incredible people... So, we believe that thanks are in order: We would like to thank our crew and friends who stood beside us during the whole time, thanks to wonderful people at Pragokoncert organization, video and audio management for providing us with everything we needed and thanks to incredible audience&fans for supporting us beyond our expectations.YOU ARE SOME CRAZY MOTHERFUCKERS!!! Cheers! We had fantastic time, learned couple of Czech words (which came very handy in some cases) and met some incredible people... Ahoy and hope to see you again soon! Also, we had great luck to have chance to video record all our activities including the entire show recorded with seven cameras (!), so expect a double DVD version, including the whole show, autograph session, backstage party, tour diary and a picture gallery of what I just described... It should be quite intensive! Until then..." - check our new myspace page www.myspace.com/macromusicmanagement.
