‘‚Cult Of The Dead' will punch you in the face, but you'll beg for more!'

We are proud to present you the all new Stage One Studio Website - bigger, better, greater, user-friendlier! As you can see there's a whole new layout which is accompanied by a newly programmed system which opens a whole lot of new possibilites. Though the basic sites with general information about the studio are pretty much the same, some parts of the site have some really ass-kicking new features like for example the discography. There you now can click on every album and see more detailed information about it, plus reviews and if available more albums by the same band.Also the Gallery and some of the content pages that have photos have a new system - instead of the stupid ol' pop ups, the photos are now opened in a nice lightbox directly on the page.
Another nice new feature is our news feed. From now on you can subscribe to our news with the URL stage-one-studio.com/feed-en.xml!
We'd be happy if you are interested in exchanging links with us - you link us, we link you - just send us an e-mail! Buttons for linking us can be found under Links (all the way down).
For your optimal viewing pleasure we recommend a resolution of 1024x768 and up, and the Firefox web browser with activated java script. The site looks good in 4 other tested browsers as well but let's face it; IE is not Heavy Metal ;)
