Swedish "underground metal promotional agency" Strong Scene Productions, whose social media accounts were created less than a week ago, has issued a press release claiming that it was "pleasantly surprised" when Swedish clothing industry giant Hennes & Mauritz decided to honor "legendary" underground metal acts from their roster in H&M's latest fashion collection.Now Strong Scene Productions was happy to provide a musical trip down in memory lane in support of Hennes & Mauritz "heavy & metal" clothing line "showcasing the talents and forgotten jewels of global underground metal music."As illustrated by the bomber jacket and t-shirts worn by the models of H&M, the new items feature logos from "long-forgotten" and quite probably nonexistent underground goth and thrash acts such as the French LANY, Mexican MORTUS, American "cosmic hippie metal" gurus MYSTIC TRIANGLE and GREY from Germany "the originator of the whole symphonic female metal genre."According to the press release, "These groups together with the likes of extreme metallers MOTMROS and neo-folkers THE ONE formed the basis for a whole generation of music in 1980s, music that was traded on tapes rather than as files, music that served as an inspiration to all of the most successful bands still recording today, from MESHUGGAH to the likes of NIGHTWISH."As most of the bands featured on the Hennes & Mauritz clothing line are from long before the age of digital music, there is now a compilation project in the works by Strong Scene Productions, collecting together all of the works of these "long-forgotten" jewels of metal music that never hit it big to the masses until now thanks to the talented designers at Hennes & Mauritz.A demonstration sampler compiled by Strong Scene Productions showcasing the talents of these "old-school underground metal talents" has now been uploaded to Strong Scene's YouTube channel for your listening pleasure.
