Legendary vocalist LISA GERRARD & composer MARCELLO DE FRANCISCI release emotive 'Exaudia' album

September 5, 2022

“A pure embodiment of the Divine Feminine" ~ Post-Punk.com

"Profoundly beautiful... timeless music... a match made in heaven" ~ The Spill Magazine

Legendary Dead Can Dance vocalist and highly acclaimed film composer Lisa Gerrard has released her latest collaboration with Los Angeles-based composer/ record producer Marcello De Francisci. Their stunning new album 'Exaudia'presents a vivid collection of epic and empowering compositions.

Earlier, the duo offered two tasters from this album - the atmospheric ambient track ‘When The Light Of Morning Comes’, released in July, and the gorgeous tapestry of ‘Until We Meet Again’, released in June. Each is accompanied by a euphoric and cinematic new video, adding powerful imagery to these gorgeous compositions.

‘Exaudia’ is the term used when a monarch grants a citizen of his kingdom an audience and, as a result, consents to a wish. A fitting title considering how regal this recording is. Working alongside a team of other musicians including Bahar Shah, Astrid Williamson, Daniela Arbizzi and Farhad Behroozi, ‘Exaudia’ combines the encompassing and euphoric textures of De Francisci’s production with Gerrard's evocative and haunting vocals. A feminine embodiment of poetic expression, the record plays majestically with this narrative, inviting a rich and vivid texture within each offering.

Ms. Gerrard and Mr. De Francisci met many years ago through soundtrack work, their collaborative efforts including soundtrack scores and their first album ‘Departum‘. This recording follows Gerrard's 2021 collaborative ‘Burn’ album with Dead Can Dance bandmate Jules Maxwell, produced by James Chapman (MAPS),

This full-length album captures the broad and ethereal majesty of their work together, highlighting a rich and soaring tone and conveying the bold and orchestral inspiration that has been tethered to their new studio album since its conception.

“I met Marcello while I was composing for a film called 'Kings'. He had wonderful engineering skills and I liked him as a person. After a while, we decided to try composing together and went on to compose some film scores. This work was borne out of a desire to write something together during Covid, there is also the artistic desire to embrace the opportunity to unlock our unfulfilled visions. The album is very physical in its construction and sensibility, it is a deeply sensual work that enjoys a sense of empowered subtlety," says Lisa Gerrard.

Regarding his own inspiration behind this record, Marcello De Francisci notes, “For quite some time, I had been playing around with the idea of composing a brand new track to Lisa Gerrard’s vocals on 'Diary for the Fallen'. I wanted a darker and more brooding version, which could be attributed to Hans Zimmer’s 'Time' from the 'Inception' soundtrack without plagiarising his work. I wondered what it would have sounded like if Lisa Gerrard had sung on something of this nature, in addition pushing the envelope even further by writing an aria towards the end of this piece including orchestra, choirs and percussion, which would result in one grand finale. It had to be something completely our own”.

Lisa Gerrard has established herself as one of the world’s most highly acclaimed film composers, winning a Golden Globe for her work on the score for ‘Gladiator’ with Hans Zimmer. Her film work also includes ‘Whale Rider’, which received an Academy Award nomination, and ‘Balibo’, which won the Screen Music Award for Best Feature Film Score. In 2018, she received a Grammy nomination for ‘Hiraeth’, alongside David Kuckhermann, and went on to become a featured vocalist on the score for ‘Dune’ before returning to Dead Can Dance to release ‘Dionysus’ and tour in 2022. Gerrard also performs as part of the ‘Gladiator Live’ concerts and ‘The World of Hans Zimmer’ tours.

De Francisci began his career as a visual artist while attending fine arts at an institution founded by the famed Baroque painter Bartolome Esteban Murillo in Seville, Spain. He furthered his education at the Universidad Complutense in Madrid. In 2006, he won the Best Soundtrack of the Year G.A.N.G. Award for his work on Sony Computer Entertainment’s ‘God of War’ game. He soon partnered with Lisa Gerrard, launching their trajectory of collaborating and co-writing motion picture soundtrack scores together.

The ‘Exaudia' album is out now on vinyl and digitally via Atlantic Curve, a London-based label subsidiary of Schubert Music Europe GmbH. It can be found on Spotify, Apple Music and other platforms at https://orcd.co/exaudia

Ree-Vo & NØiSE reveal epic US-UK electro-hop collab from Ree-Vo’s ‘Dial ‘R’ For Ree-Vo’ EP

September 5, 2022

"Rapper T.Relly and producer Andy Spaceland's gripping debut plays stylistic hopscotch in Bristol's low-end dance history. Peppered with old-school film lifts, their electro-hop wriggles and writhes" ~ MOJO

"Their music is uncompromising, fired-up, rough around the edges and equally flies in the face of the powers that be and vile elements of modern-day society... their use of rap, electronica and rhythm wind together seamlessly, demonstrating a deep textural palette that also draws on club / house, dub and EBM" ~ Amplify Music Magazine

"Combines the energy of rave culture with reggae’s penchant for social commentary... vibrant, full of life, socially aware, and infectious to its core" ~ The Big Takeover Magazine

It's always appreciated when two talented artists create something innovative, bringing their own wonderful sonic domain to a cross-genre experimental music kaleidoscope. The single in question here involves a Transatlantic collaboration between the US collective NØISE (made up of Joe Cassidy, Shepard Fairey, John Goff, Merritt Lear) and Bristol's innovative electro-hop duo Ree-Vo (rapper T. Relly with DJ / producer Andy Spaceland a.k.a. Andy Jenks).

The new NØISE track ‘Automatic (Ree-Vo Remix)’ appears on Ree-Vo’s new limited edition 10" vinyl, which also features collaborations with Object Object, Dälek and iconic industrial dancehall artist The Bug. Limited to 500 copies, the cover artwork is a tribute to Lee Perry. The 10” vinyl is being released together with Ree-Vo’s debut album ‘All Welcome on Planet Ree-Vo’, pressed on turquoise-blue gatefold vinyl (and also released on CD and digitally). The 10” release was released on orange vinyl.

Andy Spaceland explains, “NØISE had done a fantastic remix of our track ‘Spacebox’, and Shepard had done the very cool artwork for the 7”. Joe (Cassidy) got in contact and asked us to do a Ree-Vo versions of the NØISE track ‘Automatic’, with Relly adding new vocals. The original is fantastic, incredible vocals and production. we just wanted to take it further down the bass music road. Relly’s vocals are perfect for it, we mixed it big and heavy, and Joe did the final master to add the sprinkle of magic. Shepard treated some photo’s to use in the video - we laid them over footage of Merrit and Relly. We couldn’t have been happier with the results of the collaboration.”

This album could only really have been made in one city steeped as it is in Bristol's decades of less conventional hip-hop and bass music. Andy recorded, produced and mixed at Bristol's Christchurch Studios, the home of Mezzanine-era Massive Attack. The Bristol music mavericks also recently reveals their fun and vibrant video for 'Spacebox',

"Our sound has the life blood of sound-system bass culture carried through veins of hiphop and rave. I describe it like that BCuz it’s a live and living thing not just a sound, though essentially it is Bristol Dirt," says T. Relly.

As apparent from the slow boiling cooker that is Bristol’s musical heritage, this track has evolved into a bass-heavy thunderstorm of dub, post-punk and hip hop. Merritt Lear’s original hypnotic, siren vocal is perfectly poised against Relly’s roll call of injustice and misinformation. It’s a contrast that could easily trip over itself but Andy Spaceland has had years of working on bass music, having been signed to Massive Attack’s ‘Melankolik’ label (and brought on board as their tour DJ), making an album with Horace Andy, and more recently working with The Pop Group’s Mark Stewart.

His musical roots run deep. After art school (where Brian Eno was his examiner), Andy Spaceland got involved in bass music with Bristol's Static Sound System and a collaborative 12” with Rudy Tambala (AR Kane) as Sugarboat Vs Sufi. He has collaborated with Smith and Mighty, Elizabeth Fraser and Madonna, and has released music on Dj Die’s label Gutterfunk as White Bully. Andy is also part of 5 Billion in Diamonds with LA producer Butch Vig (Nirvana, Garbage).

T. Relly is Bristol hip-hop royalty – known in the community variously for his links to all of the city’s major club nights, his passion and support for the most disadvantaged (through his work with the youth and prison leavers), through to compering stages at St Paul’s Carnival and his seminal 2018 album with DJ Rogue ‘Let Them Know’. He collaborates with many crews including Innalife and Killer Crab Men.

The ‘All Welcome on Planet Ree-Vo’ is out now – digitally, on CD and vinyl – via Dell’Orso Records and Southern Record Distributors (SRD), It can be ordered at https://lnk.to/Ree-VoEDDA52 or via Bandcamp and is available in North America via Forced Exposure. The 4-track 'Dial 'R' for Ree-Vo' EP can be obtained on vinyl as a bonus when ordering the album, but is also available for digital download via Bandcamp.

New York artist Dmitry Wild presents 'Liberation' feat. Tryst, heralding fresh 'Electric Souls' LP

September 5, 2022

"A sonic and visual storyteller... channeling Johnny Cash, Nick Cave, Jesus and Mary Chain, and Lee Hazlewood" ~ Post-Punk.com

"Upbeat, positive, and catchy. With memorable riffs and a notable feel-good vibe... true rock 'n' roll spirit" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

"A tastefully crafted raucous free-rolling rocker-zen cracker" ~ Skylight Webzine

"Wild, swaggering and buoyant... hyper full-band rhythm and feel-good factor" ~ Amplify Music Magazine

New York-based garage rocker Dmitry Wild presents 'Liberation' feat. Tryst, the first taster from his forthcoming 'Electric Souls' album, showcasing his trademark blend of 70’s vintage rock, mixed with garage rock and punk ethos.

Given the pain and struggles currently experienced by the Ukrainian people at the hands of a maniacal tyrant, this song is dedicated to them, but is just as actual for a great number of situations around the world.

Dmitry wrote 'Liberation' as a virtual rock opera - a two-part opus dedicated to liberating ourselves from the oppressions of the systems in place. The first part roars as a classic rock banger before transitioning to a notable confrontation with a policeman at the protest while searching for what unites us, before an epic solo inspired by David Bowie's 'Moonage Daydream'. The song ends with Tryst joining in, the duet singing in tandem “Set us free, Love will Rise and set us free".

"This album is rooted in our human experience in the 21st century. Things have come to a boiling point this year on the social and climate front and at the global level. There are protests, virtual revolutions and personal revolutions that we are all undergoing, but by arming ourselves with electricity and guitars, we are still making noise and yelling about our belonging in this beautiful and wild place," says Dmitry Wild.

"As fears subside, we can gather together and sing for 'Liberation'. The only thing that binds us together is our voices - in unison they create a thunder storm as resistance movements unveil their power, as people ultimately realize that higher powers control a lot beyond our voting rights."

Very passionate about the craft of songwriting, Dmitry Wild used the downtime of the great pandemic to get some serious work done, completing the final writing for this solo album and gradually recording this material. Some material from earlier is also included, dating back to when he was living in California.

With music steeped in garage rock and rock n roll, this album also brings in the flair of 80’s epic synths, bluesy songs, gypsy-inspired compositions, and 70’s-inspired driving tunes.

On this album, Wild collaborated with Strange House Media, their main engineer, Byron Frayne, mixing most of the songs included here and mastering the full album. This collaboration also extended to the two songs released from this album to date - the videos for 'Don’t Need Anybody' and 'Castle Walls' were also created in collaboration with Strange House Media, Byron Frayne and Tryst as editor.

On the live music scene, Dmitry's shows take on a more rocking sound. Performing under the name Dmitry Wild & The Spells, the band currently involves Tommy Love on drums, Robert Paley on bass, Garret Smelcer on keyboards, and David Varlow on rhythm guitar. He is also sometimes joined by notable Rockabilly bassist Chops LaConte and then things take on a more theatrical turn.

As August 29, 'Liberation' will be available at all fine online music platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp, where the album may already be pre-ordered. The 'Electric Souls' LP will be released on October 14.

Black Market Karma deliver sonically fluid 'Dead Trajectory' single, previewing new album

September 5, 2022

"Emotive, tender and nostalgic...It's an intriguing and evocative release that effortlessly demonstrates Stan Belton's spectacular composing skills" ~ Clash Magazine

"With musical influences including numerous genres, their psychedelic vision goes well beyond the influential underpinnings of 60s rock, presenting a kaleidoscopic array of sonic threads woven together into the fabulous tapestry" ~ Amplify Music Magazine

UK-based psychedelic rockers Black Market Karma present 'Dead Trajectory', a warm and welcome preview of their new album ‘Aped Flair & Hijacked Ideas', slated for release in late September via London boutique label Flower Power Records.

Hailing from London and now residing on the South coast of England, the band are back with a colourful carousel of jingle jangle and distorted wobble, following up the 2021 long-player 'The Technicolour Liquid Audio Machine', a lo-fi instrumental, nostalgic, beat driven opus concocted during the 2020 lockdown.

Lead track 'Dead Trajectory' is the summer feel-good track we all need, Live footage in the accompanying video was filmed by Jenn Cliff-Wilcock in October 2021 during Black Market Karma's UK tour.

Their tenth album 'Aped Flair & Hijacked Ideas' is a loaded 11-track offering with a fluid texture of beach-soaked instrumentation. Themes range from observations of the sycophantic circles that leach from the arts, desperately trying to stay spiritually close to a geographically distant love, Japanese folklore and the deep connection between man and beast.

“I like to think of the sound of this record as Aquatica. It's like a psychedelic carousel of syrupy melody and liquid audio. Fat, baggy, saturated bass and drums, shimmering jangly guitars, wobbling fuzz, drunken keyboards and telephonic vocals. Imagine something along the lines of The Velvet Underground and The Troggs making tunes together but underwater, performing on marine life instead of instruments and routing the whole thing through a UFO," says Stanley Belton.

"The album's title is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the idea that nothing is truly original. Influence is an infinite web connecting all art and I think that's a beautiful thing that should be embraced. I often see people getting too hung up on the pursuit of some kind of idea of total originality that doesn't exist. It's all in the blend.”

With broader flavours of psychedelia, fuzzed out tones and thumping grooves, Black Market Karma's thick and colourful sound is shaped by the use of a lot of vintage equipment. Rooted in 60's guitar and pop music, other influences range from folk and blues through to lo-fi electronica, traditional Indian music, shoegaze, hip hop, soul and Motown.

To date, the band has released nine albums, eight of which were released between 2012 and 2016 and entirely written, performed, recorded and produced by multi-instrumentalist Stanley Belton while living in London at the band's own 'Cocoon' studio. On the new album, Stan has broken trend of doing everything himself by co-writing and performing two tracks on the album ('Kong' and 'A Crying Shame') together with his brother Finley Belton.

More recently, Stan has been working on collaborations with Pete Kember (a.k.a. Sonic Boom) of Spacemen 3, Joakim Ahlund of Cesars & Les Big Byrd, Tess Parks and The Underground Youth.

As of August 31, 'Dead Trajectory' will be available everywhere digitally, including Apple Music and Spotify. The 'Aped Flair & Hijacked Ideas' LP will be released on September 29. The double album, which features 180-gram coloured vinyl with a gatefold sleeve, can be pre-ordered on vinyl at https://bit.ly/3QNCBjE. It will also be available for digital download via Bandcamp.

Darkwave / Postpunk pioneers PINK TURNS BLUE kick off 'TAINTED 2022' tour, release new EP

September 5, 2022

"One of the most ethically driven and environmentally conscious post-punk artists of our time... powerful" ~ The Spill Magazine

"Consistent purveyors of quality guitar-laden post punk and dark-bent indie rock... one of the most honest and most direct enduring acts in post punk today" ~ Destroy // Exist

"The timeless message is driven home with a timeless sound composed with refined effect" ~ Post-Punk.com

"They have had high ranks in the charts and still have a place deep in the heart of many fans" ~ Reflections of Darkness

"When it comes to actual darkwave, Berlin’s Pink Turns Blue are rightly regarded as one of the founding acts... one of the finer exemplars of continental postpunk" ~ CVLT Nation

Trailblazing darkwave-postpunk pioneers Pink Turns Blue kick off their long-awaited TAINTED 2022 tour on September 2, bringing them to 23 cities across North America and select cities in the UK, Germany and Spain the same day that they release their special-edition 'TAINTED Tour-2022 EP'.

Riding on the strength of their 'Tainted' album, released in late 2021 via Orden Records, and on the trail of their recently released single 'Not Gonna Take It', Pink Turns Blue brings this music to fans from one coast to another while also sharing four new songs that reflect their emotional state in today’s world.

Formed in 1985 in the first generation of gothic rock and named after a Hüsker Dü song, today Pink Turns Blue is a trio, made up of Mic Jogwer (vocals, guitar), Paul Richter (drums) and Luca Sammuri (bass). Their debut album 'If Two Worlds Kiss' advanced the darkwave sub-genre while becoming a seminal post-punk album. Emerging from the fear and uncertainty of a divided Cold War Germany, they have since released a dozen full-length LPs.

Both the 'Tainted' LP and the new EP relate to a world in havoc and the seemingly powerlessness of today's youth to take over the world and change it for the better. But this album is also a call to never give up, to never lose faith or the understanding that making this world just a bit better every day is what makes our lives worth living.

With potent singles such as 'Not Even Trying', 'You Still Mean Too Much To Me', 'There Must Be So Much More' and 'So Why Not Save The World' address such themes as climate change, its effects, the reaction to it, the split within society, isolation, health risks and financial uncertainty.

“Since Pink Turns Blue presented the ‘Tainted’ album, things have changed for the worse, or have become more desperate and we have used this time to develop a few songs from the ‘Tainted’ sessions further - songs that didn’t make it onto the album since they were not ready yet, says In defiance of the global trend that the powerful use any excuse to enforce their agenda and defend their accumulation of benefices, more and more people see through it and stand up – for themselves and never give up to make this world just a little bit better," says Mic Jogwer.

"Since February 24 (actually my birthday), when Russia invaded Ukraine, things became even worse. Instead of slowly getting back to “normal” and trying to get our humanity’s shit together and to alleviate climate change and the consequential effects, now we have to cope with war and an energy, food and financial crisis (again) with the risk of losing the battle for equality, climate change, peace... you name it. So now the world is not only TAINTED but is in DISARRAY".

As of September 2, the 'TAINTED Tour-2022 EP' can be found everywhere online. The 'Tainted' LP is also available via Apple Music and Spotify, with CD and limited-edition vinyl editions available via the band's website. Tickets for their live dates can be ordered at https://pinkturnsblue.com/live-dates.

Even though they are originally from disparate parts of the country, Charlotte, NC based Alt Rockers Falling Through April have come together to form a cohesive unit in a city that is rich in music history and has a thriving independent rock scene. Their energy is abundant in their live shows and in the music.

Falling Through April released first single and video “Desperate Measures” in September of 2017 and have gained significant visibility: Google Play Music’s Modern Rock radio channel and iDobi radiowere early supporters and are playing the song. The video premiered on Alternative Press and debuted @ #13 on the Youtube Alternative Hotlist playlist. The video is featured on the Footlocker In-Store network in 1,835 stores in 23 countries as well as several other major brand retail outlets. “Desperate Measures” is playing in over 3800 Health Clubs worldwide, and has been added to syndicated shows like MusicMix USA and Sidewalks TV, among others.

The band’s founders (Jim Siani, Dave Piontek, Dan Candia) have weathered the full gamut of hurdles as a startup since forming in 2011, ranging from exploding transmissions and ghosting vocalists to nearby celebratory gun fire landing Taylor in the hospital. When charismatic front woman Mikaela Salazar stepped into their lives in 2016, the road blocks were removed, and everyone found something to be excited about.

The 4 founders found each other while playing in different bands that were a part of the Charlotte indie rock scene. The band members came to music naturally, as they all had musicians in their family: Dan came from a long line of international musicians, and his dad always played guitar when he was growing up. Dave started in music early, and in his early teens he became enamored of the Electric Bass and that became his instrument of choice. Jim knew by the age of 13 that he wanted to be a professional musician, inspired by acts like Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, and his favorite band Weezer. Taylor grew up watching his Dad play drums, so you could say they are in his family DNA. Mikaela grew up in a house that was never silent, and the desire to be involved in music was second nature. She was inspired to become a singer by strong female musical role models like Alanis Morissette and Gwen Stefani.

The band has 2 previous independent releases: The Take Flightalbum in 2012 and the Risks and Rewards Ep in 2015.

In early 2017 FTA packed up and drove to Nashville, TN for a several month’s long recording binge with producer and friend Jon King(Augustana, Darling Parade). The result is their new album Zodiac, a powerful alt-rock collection that melds influences ranging from Incubus to Halsey.

The band has amassed a significant touring resume, having opened for Theory of a Deadman^, The Pretty Reckless ^, Pop Evil , Adelitas Way * ^, Breaking Benjamin ^ and more. They have also performed at major festivals including the Vans Warped Tour, SXSW, Florida Music Festival, Sonorous Music Festival, Dewey Beach Music Conference and Celebrate Fairfax.

▪– United States ^ – International

Their touring has garnered them endorsements from PRS and Reverend Guitars, among others.

FTA’s goal is to have their music reach as many people as possible around the world and for their music to inspire and encourage listeners.

To coincide with the announcement, OCEANS have released a video for their brand new single called "If There Is A God She Has Abandoned Us".

Timo Rotten comments:
"No matter how positively you try to go through life, there are times when you just feel abandoned and left alone. It seems like everything is going down the drain, so how can one not lose hope in these times right now? Previous generations seemed to give no fucks about this world and now we’re left to pick up the shards. Some people just want to watch the world burn and I’m so fed up with all of this."

OCEANS have already left a lasting impression on their two released EPs this year. The third part of this EP series closes the circle and builds on the lyrics and messages of the predecessors, which are now finally brought together as a whole on the album Hell Is Where The Heart Is.

About:
Ever since their inception, up-and-coming German outfit OCEANS have dropped jaws everywhere they went. With a unique sound that sits somewhere between nu-metal, progressive, post, and death metal and putting mental health at the top of their agenda, the four-piece quickly became a known constant in today’s metal landscape. OCEANS have become known for their inclination towards innovation and experimentation within their genre; covering songs by the likes of Alessia Cara and collaborating with prominent musicians such as MACHINE HEAD’s Robb Flynn and CALIBAN’s Andy Dörner amongst others. Having released two EPs in 2019, their debut album in 2020, and another EP in 2021, the band featuring visionary mastermind Timo Rotten can easily be described as one of Europe’s hardest and fastest working bands in the genre. Enter 2022 and OCEANS have already proved that they’re set to continue on their upwards trajectory with their two latest offerings Hell Is Where The Heart Is - Part I: Love and its follow-up Hell Is Where The Heart Is - Part II: Longing.

Nick Palma Releases New Single "Gravity"; New Album Due Out on Sept

September 2, 2022

Nick Palma released his new single "Gravity" to all major platforms! The single is from his first full length album Helix due out on September 16, 2022.

Nick Palma is an American guitarist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. Through years of honing his craft, he has developed a style that infuses strong melody, heavy rhythms, and blazing shred guitar. Born in the suburbs of New York, he knew at the age of 10 that music was his passion. Some of his early influences include Slash, Synyster Gates, Dimebag Darrell, Steve Vai, Jimmy Pageand more.

Prior to his solo debut, Palma is best known for being the main songwriter and driving force behind the band Another Days Armor. Having formed the band in 2014 along with drummer Alec Keshishian, the band began to see success after years of hard work, perseverance, and learning how to navigate the music industry. After an abrupt hiatus of the band in 2020, he decided to push forward with a career in music, except without the constraints of others holding him back any longer.

Shortly after his decision to pursue a solo career, Palma took songs he had already written along with brand new ideas to write his first full length album with the help of Keshishian on drums. His main goal with his music is to make the listener feel the emotions rooted into the songs as they were written. "Music is a universal language and some of us who don't sing have just as much to say" says Nick.

FNTM Release New Single "IM NØT OKAY" feat.Telle Smith (THE WORD ALIVE) + Official Music Video

September 2, 2022

FNTM released their new single "IM NØT OKAY" feat.Telle Smith (THE WORD ALIVE) along with the official music video to all major platforms! The single was produced, mixed and mastered by Jeff Dunne (Ice Nine Kills/Wage War/Motionless In White).

Observation of the world around us shows us on a steady trajectory towards failure. We are consumed by religion, social media, depression, etc, and continue to idolize and put these toxic “leaders” on a pedestal.

“'IM NØT OKAY' is written as part of an over arching story we are telling, from the perspective of how technology/AI would be viewing our society and how it would feel seeing this huge intellectual mass tumble towards destruction, with a smile the whole way. It’s disappointing but somehow awe inspiring seeing how far we’ve come, and how far we will fall if we don’t fix it,” says the band.

Texas Rockers DIOSA Drop Music Video for New Single "Fire"

August 31, 2022

Hard rockers DIOSA are back with a new single and music video! The Houston-based band has partnered with New Noise Magazine to premiere the music video for, "Fire", which can be seen below.

Speaking about their new single with New Noise, the band comments:

“The meaning of our new song is simple and was written poetically by our vocalist 'this fire that burns in me; I won’t let it die until I’m 6ft down below.' Never quit on yourself, embrace the struggles that life throws at you and come out on top. No one can take that away from you.“

Stream "FIRE" Here!

About DIOSA:

Born from a series of eclectic tastes over time to form the sound they have today, the boys Justin (vocals, guitar), Tyler (bass), and Luis (guitar) knew from a young age that music was something they always wanted to pursue. While the band's rocky journey has been constantly tried and tested, DIOSA made those life-changing moments count by sharing them through their music.

DIOSA isn't the kind of band that serves to please others when it comes to shaping their sound. The band has a vast range of influences that span artists like Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Avenged Sevenfold, ZZ Top, Bad Religion, Blink 182, Danzig, Def Leppard, Volbeat, Alice In Chains, HIM, Velvet Revolver, STP, Bryan Adams, and Brian Setzer - to name a few. From these artists, the band drew inspiration from their wide-ranging tastes and molded them together within the realm of modern alternative with stabs of classic rock.

DIOSA Lineup:

Justin Vincent Estrada – Vocals, Guitar

Julian Cruz – Drums

Luis Torres – Lead Guitar

Tyler Rix – Bass

American-Irish artist Ronan Conroy presents 'Double Helix' from forthcoming album 'The Slow Death of the LoveMyth'

August 31, 2022

"Dreamy, brooding and ethereal with a DIY punk ethos... sonically haunting and otherworldly with dark fairy-land shimmer" ~ Amplify Music Magazine

Brooklyn-based artist Ronan Conroy presents his new single 'Double Helix', an atmospheric track featuring captivating vocals by Julie Dicterow of Oh Halo. Lush with dark reverie, this is the first taster of his forthcoming album 'The Slow Death of the LoveMyth', beautifully complemented by a captivating video created by NYC-based artist Hypnodoll.

While Conroy is best known for his folk-flavoured indie rock, on this new album, he reveals his post-punk alter-ego, soaked in dream wave and goth richness. Drawing on the darker side of goth classics, select tracks on this album are crowned with ethereal female vocals. Apart from Julie Dicterow, who was a catalyst for Ronan to embark on this particular path, this record also features vocalists Shannon Brown and Susan Hwang of Lusterlit, and stellar drums by Justin Wierbonski (a.k.a. Demonic Drums).

"Where some of my songwriting has been more situational or distilled as expressions of particular events - universal human experiences like heartbreak, disappointment, betrayal, but driven by a need to process or express a particular chapter of my life - LoveMyth goes a step further in giving voice to the deeper underlying darkest fears that maybe aren’t always expressed, that are there as archetypal tendencies throughout many or all of the chapters of our lives," says Ronan Conroy.

"Maybe it’s fear of vulnerability, or discomfort with how raw, irrational or unacceptable some of our base preconceptions or pessimistic expectations can seem, that make them tougher subjects to explore musically."

Growing up in Dublin, Ireland with four strongly opinionated brothers and musician parents (his father played guitar and mandolin and his mother played guitar and tin whistle), Conroy was exposed to an array of musical influences, ranging from new wave and post-punk to David Bowie, Johnny Cash, Elvis and Abba. His world changed at 15 when his mother loaned him her nylon string guitar and taught him a few chords, instantaneously unlocking a whole new world of songwriting.

Years later, he would release two albums with Brooklyn's The Listeners and go on to perform with gothic dreampop band Oh Halo on guitar and backing vocals from 2011 to 2014, during which time he released one album with them.

Since 2013, Conroy immersed himself in the 'Lovemyth' project, this work culminating in 'The Slow Death Of The LoveMyth' LP, a collection influenced by the 80s/90s goth bands he grew up listening to, as well as ethereal darkwave bands he would be introduced to later.

As with all the music Conroy has released since 2013, this record was produced, engineered and mastered by Charlie Nieland at Capture Sound Studios. Frontman of Her Vanished Grace and Lusterlit, and a recognized solo artist in his own right, Nieland is a well-respected engineer and producer, known for his work with Debbie Harry, Rufus Wainwright, Blondie and Scissors Sisters.

"Going deeper into my goth influences seemed to offer me a natural and more suitable sonic landscape for these topics, and channelling my love for seminal goth bands like The Cure, along with ethereal acts like Love Spirals Downwards, Autumn’s Grey Solace and All About Eve has been a special experience that I’ve laboured over for years. Each of the guest singers has elevated the project to new levels and surpassed even my own visions of how their voices could combine with the instrumentation," says Ronan Conroy.

As of August 30, 'Double Helix' will be available digitally via Spotify, Apple Music and all good digital music platforms. It will also be available as a single via Bandcamp or an instant-grat download there upon ordering the full album, which will be released on October 21.

Rock Duo, THE SPIDER ACCOMPLICE, Release New Single "FIGHT" + Official Music Video; New Album Due Out in October!

August 31, 2022

Los Angeles rock duo, THE SPIDER ACCOMPLICE, released their new single "FIGHT" along with the official music video today. The single, mixed by Vikram Shankar and mastered by Maor Appelbaum, is from their forthcoming new album titled The Venomous Montage due out this October. The video was directed/produced by Vicente Cordero.

"The new full-length album, 'The Venomous Montage,' is 11 songs worth of eclectic symphonic rock that is all distinctly The Spider Accomplice!" says the duo.

This Los Angeles- based duo has racked up 12 LA Music Critics’ Awards over the last 5 years, making them LAMC’s most-awarded band in history. With their unique sound and striking visual presence, they have become a name to know in symphonic rock.

Pre-pandemic, the band toured the U.S., but when the lock-down hit, they focused on writing, recording, and shooting videos for a slew of singles and the music that would become the new full-length. Recently, in anticipation of that release, they've been performing in Hollywood at venues such as The Whisky A Go Go and The Viper Room.

Shoegaze / Post-Punk devotees A Shoreline Dream treat listeners to 'Loveblind' ahead of new album

August 31, 2022

"Delicate curves and beauty... a glorious dawn" – PopMatters

"Goth heaven... one of the leading lights of the neo-shoegaze movement" – DKFM

"A wild and beautiful thing" – The Big Takeover

"Shadowy and storming dreaminess.. reminiscent" – Stereo Embers Magazine

Iconic shoegaze / postpunk outfit A Shoreline Dream present the single 'Loveblind', the title track from their forthcoming album, their first dose of new music since the Covid pandemic began. Just as infectious as the lead track 'Alarms Stop Ringing', these two sonic gems preview 40 minutes of goth-laced progressive soundscapes.

"The title track is a true representation of the observation and realization that so many of us are lost in a sea of past visions of love. Waiting for it to return, forgetting it's gone in some cases, and searching for it within ourselves. With so much self-reflection happening these days, it's difficult to realize that the ones we've cared for need "love" now more than ever to successfully find their way out of personal storms," says Ryan Policky.

'"The production is indeed much darker than many previous A Shoreline Dream tracks, but also one heavily influenced by some of my biggest influences from the early years of goth and gaze-inspired music. An orchestra of deeper tones, with an emphasis on traditional composition and symphonic execution. Extreme highs, and hidden lows centered around a pop focused tempo".

The 'Loveblind' album, set to release on September 23 via Latenight Weeknight Records, follows their critically acclaimed 'Melting' album (2020). Their sixth full-length album, A Shoreline Dream dives into recollections and past desires while looking forward in a wash of soundwaves pointed towards a blinding future. Produced by Ryan Policky and recorded over 10 months in the Barnum suburb of Denver, Colorado, this album features immense synth layers, the band's signature guitar and symphonic vocals.

Over the years, A Shoreline Dream has churned out numerous acclaimed releases, working with legends such as Ulrich Schnauss, Mark Kramer and The Engineers(for whom they created a remix for progressive label gods K-Scope). They also opened for Chapterhouse for their very final appearance.

While the pandemic has taken its toll on our mental well-being, the perception of money and power has blown previous years away. Dying to get back to the good times, moments of pure, unscathed lust, we are eager for new experiences to sweep us off our feet. 'Loveblind' reaches for that same energy, taking cues from previous A Shoreline Dream works released over the past 16 years, drawing more from their progressive goth roots. Layers of moodiness, blissful explosions of rock and chugging tempo mix with the pain, love, hope and moments of near death experienced while creating the album itself.

On August 30, 'Loveblind' will be available for download exclusively via Bandcamp, where 'Alarms Stop Ringing' can also be downloaded and the full 'Loveblind' album is available for pre-order. On September 23, the album will be released everywhere online, including Spotify and Apple Music.

Extreme Melodic Death Metal Stars DEFACING GOD Release Third Single “The Resurrection” + Lyric Video

August 31, 2022

Debut Album, “The Resurrection Of Lilith”

Out This Friday | Pre-Order NOW!

The duchess and dukes of darkness, DEFACING GOD, have returned to unleash their wrath with their new album, 'The Resurrection of Lilith', out this Friday via Napalm Records. Casting new spells, the band is ready to meet their nemesis and raise hellfire by summoning Lilith, the mother of Darkness.

Rooted in occultism and witchcraft, DEFACING GOD strives on ancient stories and grandiose soundscapes conjuring their worthy representation of opulent Scandinavian metal traditions. Echoing styles of artists such as Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth, the band continues the legacy of unconventional extreme metal, taking their rightful place in the garden of Eden and ready to deface God!

But first, DEFACING GOD complete the unholy trinity with their third offering, just before the album drops. Their new single “The Resurrection” summons the sacred sovereignty Lilith and showcases the band’s potential lying within extreme melodies with a twist of haunting riffs and indelible drums that immerse astoundingly with the gory growls of vocalist Sandie The Lilith. Stirring with powerful feminine rage, DEFACING GODencapsulates symphonic sounds with extreme power, creating anthems for the banished.

DEFACING GOD on “The Resurrection”:

“The Resurrection - the title track of the beast we are about to release! This song is dedicated to Lilith and her resurrection. A song of rebellion and an all-consuming need for revenge. Revenge over those who banished her to a cursed fate and revenge in the name of all her fellow witches - her blood sisters - strong women throughout history who never got a voice!’”

Join the cult and watch the lyric video for “The Resurrection”

DEFACING GOD state:

“A lot of mixed emotions and passion has been held over and inside this album and to support those emotions our sound is both eerie and dramatic, filled with symphonic details to set the mood and atmosphere. We have created a lot of details so that the listener is challenged, which is why it is important to mention that we chose to work with Lars Vinther on the tracks.

Lars did the orchestration parts and he is that ´´extra´´ we needed to complete our sound with the classical components and to make our sound more grandiose and dramatic. The use of classical instruments/symphonics is something that is more seen in the modern black metal genre (Cradle, Dimmu Borgir etc.) But we play melodic death metal and because of our love for classical music and our dark and massive sound, we thought it would be interesting to experiment with the orchestrations and more layers in our music.

Melodic death metal has been made a million times before, but I think we managed to make this piece very personal with all the experimenting.

Pre-order DEFACING GOD's debut 'The Resurrection Of Lilith' NOW!

The rising force of occult Melodic Death Metal with their impressively grand debut!

The Resurrection Of Lilith arises with a cinematic, chanting introduction, leading the listener into the demonic world of DEFACING GOD. Building up tension to release into an uncompromising melodic, orchestral death metal assault on “The Invocation Part I “Lilith””, the track emerges as the first of three songs introducing female forces of legend as a trinity to be reckoned with – the first being Lilith, Adam’s first wife, who refused to obey and now reigns as a symbol of feminine rage and independency, but also for the darkness found within oneself. Bookending the undeniably strong “The Resurrection” are parts two and three – “The Invocation Part II “Jezebel”” and “The Invocation Part III “Abyzou”” – which lead into “The Rise of Trinity”. The remainder of The Resurrection Of Lilith proves to be an auditory onslaught of epic proportions, seeing DEFACING GOD unleash their supreme power and full songwriting dynamics with varying yet unrelentingly hard-hitting tracks like “The End Of Times”, “Echoes From Fulda”, “Death Followed Like a Plague” and “Enslaved”. Penultimate track “In the Land of Rain and Sorrow” blasts with a blackened, dense wall of sound before the album closes with encapsulating, symphonic “Into the Mist of Memories” – featuring a neo-classically inspired guitar solo.

DEFACING GOD are:

Sandie Gjørtz - Vocals

Signar Petersen - Lead Guitar

Christian Snapholt Nielsen - Rhythm Guitar

Michael Olsson - Drums

Rasmus "Kalke" Nielsen - Bass

CONSTELLATIA Reveals New Album, Shares First Single

August 31, 2022

South African progressive black metal band CONSTELLATIA will be releasing its sophomore full-length, 'Magisterial Romance,' on November 11, 2022 via Season of Mist! The album details, tracklisting, and artwork can be found below! In celebration of the announcement, the band is now sharing the mesmerizing first single, "Adorn," along with a music video! The song and video can be seen below.

The new track is accompanied by two guest musicians from HONEYMOAN; vocalist Alison Rachel and guitarist Skye MacInnes. The video was filmed and edited by Barry De Villiers.

CONSTELLATIA bassist/vocalist Keenan Oakes comments: "We are overjoyed to share some new music with all of you, finally. Our second collaboration with Alison Rachel; 'Adorn' is a beacon of light, a real empowering song which speaks to growth and the love of self. Sit back, turn it up and enjoy. Thank you for listening!"

Pre-orders for 'Magisterial Romance' are now live HERE.

Following the end of Wildernessking’s career, Keenan Oakes had to continue making music, despite the difficulties of playing in a metal band in Cape Town, South Africa. Regardless, Oakes joined forces with Crow Black Sky’s Gideon Lamprecht in 2018 to create the musical entity known as CONSTELLATIA. Taken from the word ‘constellation’, CONSTELLATIA refers to the nature of existence and the natural world, the cosmos, and extracting meaning and happiness from it all. The band’s somber take on progressive black metal encapsulates inherently human subjects; a distillation of life’s meander, sadness and tribulations.

Inspired by artists such as Opeth, Mastodon, The Cure, Primordial, Neurosis, Wolves in the Throne Room, Pink Floyd, Beach House, Agalloch, Emperor and Cult of Luna, Constellatia imbue their stark musical landscape with ferocity and reverie. Following the release of their debut record via Isolation Records in 2019, The Language of Limbs, CONSTELLATIA was very quick to garner the attention of listeners around the world, leading to their acknowledgement and subsequent signing to the large, independent record label, Season of Mist. While The Language of Limbs sounds bleak and tends to instill a sense of longing within the listener, it too sparks an idyllic feeling of catharsis with the mesmerizing atmospheric soundscapes and subtle intoxicating harmonies.

Now with Season of Mist’s support moving forward with their sophomore record, CONSTELLATIA have the footing and foundation to fully expand on their musical endeavours. The new album which is set to release on November the 11th 2022, shows CONSTELLATIA continuing to evolve on their already mature sound, creating these larger-than-life romantic compositions that express the emotional spectrum of simply being; an amorphous progressive metal experience enriched with lavish ambiance and ripe with spirit, unique to them alone.
From the very start, the goal with CONSTELLATIA was to create emotionally dense and textured metal that is both transcendent and incredibly human. With the release of their upcoming record later this year, CONSTELLATIA will reveal just how much more dynamic and vulnerable their music has become. It may seem that the band is now hitting their stride, but they have only just begun. Plans are being made to tour the many corners of the world in support of their new album and subsequent releases.

To love
The wheels of this great turning
Dispel the grey aura you’ve known
Deepen the joy, stars aglow
