Shattered Sun is playing two shows in their home state of Texas this weekend, celebrating the recently released Hope Within Hatred (Victory) album. It also marks the end of our contest for you to win a FREE, exclusive prize pack of the band’s merch from Ghost Cult and Victory Records.

If you caught the band anywhere on tour this spring, or are going to one of the shows this weekend, you still have a chance to win:
Step 1: Take a picture of Shattered Sun, kicking ass on stage, in a photo with you at a meet and greet, you with your Shattered Sun gear, whatever you like. Photos from any date on the recent tour are acceptable.
Step 2: Tag @ShatteredSun, @GhostCultMag and @VictoryRcords in your photo on Instagram. (Following all these accounts can’t hurt your chances!)

In the finest tradition of Poland’s great metal bands, comes Thunderwar with their recent EP The Birth of Thunder. You can stream the album at their Bandcamp page here, but you can win a FREE download code to crank these tunes whenever you want from Ghost Cult Magazine! Simply click the SHARE button from the post about this contest on Facebook and raise awareness of this cool band. Harkening back to a sound that calls to mind the early work of Vader, and the more Pantera-worshipping moments of Decapitated, Thunderwar blasts down the door with a fresh take on this music. Coarse, grindy vocals and impressive, complex riffery are the hallmarks of these Viking worshipers who have already supported Amon Amarth on their home soil and have an upcoming show with the mighty Obituary on their European tour next month.
The winner will be chose at random and will be announced on June 29th
