Sortilège (FR) + Crystal Ball (CH)

Sortilège is a French heavy metal band from Paris, regarded as a cult band of the French scene. Greg Pratt of Decibel considers their 1984 debut album Métamorphose an underrated classic in the genre. Blabbermouth stated that this release, as well as their self-titled debut EP that preceded it "are now known as some of the most important — if not the most important — heavy metal releases from France." Sortilège were among the favorite groups of late Death frontman Chuck Schuldiner. The group ceased to exist in 1986 but reformed in 2019.

Crystal Ball ist eine Schweizer Hard-Rock-Band aus Luzern, die Ende der 1990er Jahre gegründet wurde.
