Rotterdam Records has the undisputed quality to spot talent from miles away. Literarily miles away.
Western Europe and the USA already proved over the many years to be a great soil for hardcore talent,
but who might have thought that Eastern Europe has hardcore blood running through its veins as well?
Well, Rotterdam Records did, as the label signed Ukraine based producer Komarovski.

Komarovski premiered his tracks on the nr 1 Russian hardcore label New Wave Promo in 2010
and since his big riffed melody based tune "The Melody Within Me", he was snapped up to join
the Rotterdam Records alliance. With his three-track EP which includes "I'll Never Change", "Before A Shot" and "I Shall
Destroy", Ukrainian Komarovski shall be the evidence that Eastern Europe is forever landmarked on the hardcore map!

The annual Nightmare event dates are consequently marked in the calendars of hardcore heads with a big fat red marker.
In the months prior to these dates, two major things runs through the hardcore fan's mind: who's in the line-up,
and who will produce the next Nightmare anthem? The answer to that last question is Enzyme Records' finest: Weapon X.

Weapon X has been a member of the Enzyme crew since the start of Enzyme Records.
The undisputed style of this mysterious producer has been obvious from the beginning: melodic hardcore with uplifting vocals.
Weapon X remained his secret identity until 2007, when Weapon X decided to start a DJ career with a debut performance at
the legendary Nightmare Outdoor festival in 2007.

With "Hell Awaits", featuring fantastic remixes by new talents Wasted Mind and Social Suicide, Weapon X follows up previous
Nightmare anthems from the biggest producers such as Tha Playah, Mad Dog, Neophyte, Nosferatu, Evil Activities,
Ophidian and Na-Goyah. As "Hell Awaits" is elected to be Tune Of The Week on Dutch portal Dance-Tunes.com,
this brand new Nightmare anthem is a sure winner once more!
