Proudly we are glad to present you 2 new artists who have entrusted the conduct of their affairs to the THE FLAMING ARTS. Two of these groups - the pillars of the Belarusian metal, heavy face of the Belarusian exports. GODS TOWER - a star that gone 9 years ago to arise again nowadays! INAERA - star of the future days, the newest product with the participation of musicians of RASTA.

THE FLAMING ARTS announces the newest group - INAERA and resurrects the metal giant's past - GODS TOWER. These two groups are inextricably linked not only geographically (both from Gomel - Belarus), vitally (some musicians play in these two groups together) but also spiritually.

At the summer of 2010 the legendary, cult GODS TOWER rises in the classical line-up, ready for battle again. Rehearsals, concerts, photosets and videos, tours and, finally, the long-awaited release of «STEEL SAYS LAST». Already a one and a half-hour concert stuff is prepared and the band is preparing up for recording of the ten-year exposure album. Time of silence is not allowed to lose relevance of unreleased songs - it gave the power and strength to the upcoming album.

"The idea of restoration GODS TOWER was soaring in the air almost ever since as the official disbanding was announced. Unfortunately for a long time, it was impossible for many reasons - economic, psychological and other things. But at the end around the name GODS TOWER's name procreated such is the atmosphere that we were compelled to think about the reunion. The idea came from outside, ourselves we were unlikely finally to resolve this. In sum, if there was no reunion, it should have been invented. "

 Much to our despair, we’ve been denied entry into Russia to perform for our patient and metal starved fans. After having to postpone the original dates from October 2009, we’ve had plenty of time to prepare for this trip. Everything has been in place for weeks now…The gear has been ordered, the flights have been booked, and we’re HERE, on the European continent, ready to depart for St. Petersburg tomorrow morning. But to our absolute dismay and MASSIVE financial burden, the Russian Embassy has refused to issue us our visas. Nice timing right? And after our road manager spending three days at the Embassy searching for answers and resolution, we’ve basically been given the middle finger, and there’s nothing further we can do. Our biggest regret is for the fans who have been waiting months for this weekend to come, and we hope they can understand that we’ve exhausted every option to correct the situation. Please accept our deepest apologies, we’ll try to make it up to you all one day.
