SYBREED sounds like nothing you've ever heard....literally. Unless of course you've heard a hybrid mix of Meshuggah, Nine Inch Nails, Placebo and Fear Factory, all taking place on a sonic landscape that reminds you of the Matrix - complete with visceral screams of human suffering and the never ending madness taking place here on Planet Earth. SYBREED morphed itself into existence in the year 2003. There was once a band called RAIN who made records and toured with the likes of Napalm Death, Immortal, Dew-Scented, Digger, Nightwish, Lacuna Coil and others but they broke-up because there was a higher calling from the Gods of the Underworld.
While tampering with the rituals put forth in the Egyptian book of spells, BEN, the one who sings, called forth from the ashes of what was once RAIN and there merged a new collective that can only be called SYBREED. When all four members first stood in front of each other in an empty war-torn warehouse in the industrial part of Switzerland it was clear that DROP, the one who plays guitar, would bring the light and then the vision. BURN would play the bass and provide the storm and ALEX would command the crushing, relentless hammer on Drums.
Truth is stranger than fiction and SYBREED are as much like teenage super heroes as they are musicians. By day, they might be seen eating at McDonald?s or even cavorting with humans, when night falls however, it's another story. Like a Phoenix, SYBREED transcends what we know as "normal" when they unleash their collective power through sound and lyric and literally become young gods on-stage. SYBREED paints a cold world where violence and brutality breed megalomaniacs and paranoid schizophrenics are the leaders of the apocalypse.
The world they paint could be the one we live in now, science says it's possible. If it is, be sure that SYBREED will provide the siren spreading the word to the people that there is much to fight for and much to live for. Perhaps it's not too late for mankind, the oceans and the forests: perhaps what Sybreed seems to know so well can remain part of some other dimension. On September 4th, Reality Entertainment will release SYBREED's debut album, Slave Design. The album was produced by DROP whose visions of the future have culminated into 10 auditory masterpieces.
Like nothing before it, Slave Design is a sprawling epic journey into some of the most frightening, disturbing and distressing areas of human denial, while at times soothing the soul with melodies from another world. Reality Entertainment considers SYBREED to be the next generation of metal - a true innovator with an agenda not to conquer the world with its music but to save it. SYBREED MUSIC IS FEATURED ON HELLY BOY, SWORD OF STORMS OUT SOON! www.reality-entertainment.com

While others have cut-back and concentrated on steering themselves through the economic slow-down, the directors at Forrest & Jones have launched three new and innovative product ranges that have caught the attention – and the imaginations of designers.
‘Magalomania’, a unique magnetic design system that can transform a wall into an aesthetically pleasing surface, that is also an effective and flexible education tool, is aimed at children’s nurseries, schools, playbarns and healthcare centres.
SwitchScene is a new magnetic display system using the latest innovations in removable and re-usable magnetic graphics which has sparked excitement in the advertising and retail sectors.
Seamless Wallpaper is a PVC free, tough, polyester woven fabric that can be produced up to five metres high and by any length required and which boasts a pin-sharp print quality. It is proving to be a hit with designers who don’t want to see the joins.
“We have a wealth of experience in the wallpaper and wall coverings business,” said MD Mr Jones, speaking from his office in Garstang Road, Broughton. “My fellow director Mark Forrest and I have been involved in the industry for many years, so we really do know what this business is about.
“That’s why our team has been able to come up with new ideas like ‘Magalomania’ and ‘SwitchScene’ because in addition to having the technical know-how to create the product, we also understand the market place well enough to predict whether there will be sufficient demand.
“Magalomania has already been taken up by the Lake District National Park. A Magalomania wall has been created at the South Lakes Visitor Centre at Brockhole and SwitchScene has been snapped up by a number of customers across the North West.”
Mark Forrest, who later this year will celebrate four decades in the wallpaper and wall covering industry said: “We are so confident in our new products that we have invested heavily in new state-of-the-art printing machinery here at our base in Broughton. We really are ready for more growth.”
Gareth said he believed that early signs of an increasing sense of positivity in the business community would continue.
“Here at Forrest & Jones, we’ve got every faith in our new range of products,” he added. “We’re ready and fully prepared for growing demand.”

What makes IMI Design so adept at architectural detailing, is the combining the functionality of something, such as a fireplace, and its aesthetic appeal. Line, form, and composition are crucial aspects of aesthetic appeal, and IMI Design takes advantage of their attention to add-ons, built-ins, ceilings, fireplaces, and other points of interest. Furthermore, to enhance the pleasing effect of the created environment, they use only the richest materials. IMI Designs mindset is that the architectural design and concept of a space is art, and not just a structural decoration.
In addition to architectural detailing, other specialized IMI Design services include pre-construction and remodel planning, soft furnishing, and floor plan analysis. Their skill has lead them to win multiple awards, and appear as spotlights in several magazines.

The first of four distinct styles - called ‘Cosmopolitan’ - had its debut to the industry at the Hospitality Design Expo this past May in Las Vegas at the Klem booth. The four-part series is a joint effort by both IIG and Klem to turn “Inspiration” into reality, featuring the light, airy openness of European influence.
The concept for the “Cosmopolitan” headboard was drawn from the night sky of metropolitan Chicago bordering the Great Lakes. The raised dark walnut panel, representing the water, has a translucent appearance, allowing wave after wave of grain and texture to show. Vertical brushed metal insets hint at the Chicago Skyway, with the dark walnut ‘lake’ surrounded by a grid work of routed carvings to represent city cross-streets, all with a clear finish on beautiful natural walnut.
Patti Tritschler, President of IIG, commented: “Our design team is so honored to work with Klem to create this whole new series and this is only the beginning. The second design in this series is already underway and promises to be just as interesting and beautiful, with perhaps some different twists.”
Interior Image Group and Klem are creating the “Imagination” series with a variety of ancillary items to coordinate with each headboard personality. Designed as standalone items, they can be built to fit almost any design concept. The pieces work the way guests actually use them while facilitating housekeeping, which makes them a practical, attractive and efficient solution. The flexible format allows designers and hoteliers to select materials for their specific purposes.
