SETYØURSAILS breaks all the barriers, blending different styles, from hardcore to metalcore, to pop punk, and creates a unique and original sound.”

Rock Hard, IT

Before dropping their second album and label debut, Nightfall, this Friday, German metalcore powerhouse SETYØURSAILS keeps the anticipation high by unveiling the album’s exciting title track today. For this massive sonic experience, the fast-rising act teamed up with Andy Doerner, singer of metalcore veterans Caliban, to deliver THE hard-as-nails kickstart to 2022. The third single comes with a spectacular music video shot within the impressive locale of Brandis Castle near Leipzig, Germany.

“Nightfall” showcases the full straightforward range of Jules Mitch’s vocals, which oscillate between concise and clear, intense screams and expressive growling – all perfectly underlined by the powerful growls of Andy Doerner. With raging drums, heavy guitars and hard-hitting breakdowns, this hefty outburst will heat up the anticipation even more for the unit’s new offering!

SETYØURSAILS about “Nightfall”:

“We are overjoyed to present our third single release with our esteemed colleague Andy Doerner (Caliban). We deliberately named it the same as the album, as it is the centerpiece of the record. 'Nightfall' is about the contradiction of being trapped in the darkness and being scared, but at the same time, worshipping the darkness. The crucial sentence that makes this clear is 'they say the nightfall brings fear, but it's the sun I can't stand'. Which means 'I struggle with my depression, but I'm also drawn to it because the darkness is familiar and makes me feel safe.' Also, the sun in this case is symbolic of coming to terms with the illness and that it is easier to sink into it rather than fight it. Again, a very personal text that looks deep into Jules' daily struggle. We very much hope that some people will find themselves in it - and can identify with it, so that they can draw an important message from it: You are not alone!”

Andy Doerner (Caliban) adds:

"Since I've known SETYØURSAILS, I have become a big fan. They’re one of my favorite up-and-coming bands from Germany.

'Nightfall' is a monster of a bouncer and the chorus really blew me away. I love Jules voice and I'm happy to be a part of it! Give it a spin."

SETYØURSAILS on the video:

“We had a super nice day at Brandis Castle near Leipzig (Germany). We had the whole building to ourselves and took advantage of as much of it as we could. It was especially great working with Andy from Caliban. He is a great artist and one of the nicest people we have ever had the pleasure to meet. It was all very relaxed and just a lot of fun. To see a well-known and established artist perform your own song with such passion was just great. We are incredibly grateful for all the great people who work with us. At this point we would like to say a big thank you to our videographer Peter Leukhardt.”

Young, enraged and standing steadfastly against hate – SETYØURSAILS perform uncompromising yet melodic post hardcore-influenced metalcore, convincing both live and on record. The unit has already performed at well-known festivals (Reload Festival, Traffic Jam Open Air) and converted fans alongside genre greats like Bullet for My Valentine, Hatebreed, Jinjer and Walls of Jericho with their unbeatable live energy. Their first album, Enough (2018), has attracted the attention of noteworthy outlets like FUZE and MoreCore, and now, SETYØURSAILS are proudly heading for round two.

Nightfall stands as an impressive return for SETYØURSAILS, who once again prove their musical diversity. A mixture of catchy choruses and intense breakdowns are evident on brutally melodic "Why", the changing spectrum of "Deadline", and "Into the Storm", which starts with a crisp deathcore intro. Among others, "Nightfall" (featuring Andy Doerner of metalcore veterans Caliban) shows the full straightforward range of Jules Mitch’s vocals, which oscillate between concise and clear, intense screams and expressive growling. "Mirror"begins atmospherically before bubbling up to an impressive journey through personal conflicts without losing its undeniably catchy quality. With tracks like "Secrets" and "Forgive Me" the band also presents its softer side. SETYØURSAILS are also full of surprises – together with Mike Perez from No Bragging Rights, they cover "Shallow” (from the film A Star Is Born) by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, and give the ballad their personal touch, once again proving their musical diversity. Nightfall was produced, recorded, mixed & mastered by Annisokay vocalist/guitarist Christoph Wieczorek and songwriter/producer Julian Breucker at Sawdust Recordings. Both have already worked with greats like Beyond The Black, Eisbrecher and Emil Bulls – just to name a few.

SETYØURSAILS about their new album:

“This album is the most honestly written work we could get out of ourselves. It reflects the struggle of dealing with oneself, fear and life itself. It's dark, it's loud and it hurts. But most importantly- it's true.”

Nightfall will be available in the following formats:

- 1 CD Digipak

- 1 LP Gatefold Recycled Color Vinyl

- 1 Digital Album

[1 LP Gatefold Recycled Color Vinyl]

"'Uhri' is about the journey to death. Embracing the cold and letting the black river pull you into the depths, where time can start over. The ravens vision fulfilled, truly. The sun is engulfed and white horses gallop through the ever frosted fields. The sky will cry its last tear and Ukko passes us his wisdom."

Lyrically and thematically UKKO explores themes of death, healing, rebirth, and faith, presented in a seamlessly blended mix of English and Finnish.

RISING INSANE Release New Single "Serenade" - New Album 'Afterglow' Out December 10th

German Metalcore outfit RISING INSANE have released their new single "Serenade", as well as a music video for the track. "Serenade" is the third single from the band's new studio 'Afterglow', which sees a December 10th, 2021 release via Long Branch Records.

Rising Insane comment on their new single "Serenade":

"You could almost think 'Serenade' is about a love affair - in principle, it is a relationship, too - only it's the one with depression and anxiety disorders. No matter how hard you fight it or how well you get by during the day, when you go to sleep and your mind starts spinning, you end up losing yourself again."

Pre-Order 'Afterglow' Here

Rising Insane is not just the name but also what happened literally to these five guys from northern Germany over the last few years. After their self-released debut album, 'Nation' in 2017, the band gained attention quickly in the German metal scene on shows with Stray From The Path and For Today, as well as a support slot for Annisokay on their 2018 headline run.

In 2019 they played at the Impericon Festival and got signed by Long Branch Records. This led to the band's first label release, 'Porcelain' in November 2019, which received outstanding reviews from around the world and accelerated them into international attention. In the aftermath of the album release, the band kept busy and recorded a well-received cover version of "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd. This cover got the band even more worldwide attention and spread their name even wider. Due to the pandemic, their first headline run had to be cancelled in 2020 and the band decided to stay active, recording an EP named 'Recovered' with even more cover songs, including "Blinding Lights".

Now Rising Insane are back with new music and ready to elevate into an even higher stratosphere. They stay true to their post-hardcore and metalcore roots, but have clearly grown as a band and as individual musicians. The sound is more mature and the songs will not leave any questions as to whether these guys can stay true to their name and keep rising insane!

RISING INSANE Lineup:

Aaron Steineker - Vocals

Sven Polizuk - Guitars

Florian Köchy - Guitars

Ulf Hedenkamp - Bass

Robert Kühling - Drums

for New Album 'VEMOD'

New Single & Video for 'The Solstice Rebirth' Out Now

Swedish metalcore five-piece Forgetting The Memories have announced their new studio album 'Vemod' for September 24th, 2021 via Long Branch Records.

'Vemod' is the second LP by the band and has been mixed and mastered by Buster Odeholm (Vildhjarta, Humanity's Last Breath). The 10 new tracks are lyrically haunting and deal with personal setbacks, world-weariness, anger, and melancholy or wistfulness.

Following the album news Forgetting The Memories released their new single "The Solstice Rebirth" along with a music video. The song is the first new track taken from the album 'Vemod' and available now via all digital platforms.

Forgetting The Memories about the new single 'The Solstice Rebirth':

"This song is about manipulative behavior that occurs more often than it should. We try to put ourselves in the perspective where you are being manipulated into doing things for others' cause. With that, you'll live in that mindset until the darkness has swallowed you whole. You'll become self-destructive and dangerous to others but mostly to yourself."

About FORGETTING THE MEMORIES

Forgetting the Memories combine intricate, head-bang worthy rhythms with melodic choruses that will have you singing along in no time, constructing a unique blend of deathcore and metalcore that is unparalleled in complexity and intensity.

"Monophobia," their first self-released full-length in 2016, was a sprawling labyrinth of ferocious, hard-pounding breakdowns and catchy choruses, peppered with meaningful lyrics detailing deeply personal journeys through issues like battling cancer, losing a friend, and heartbreak. The band continued on this path on their first release with their new label "Long Branch Records". The EP "Known Darkness" was released in 2019 and featured 6 songs, further confirming the band's rapid growth and potential.

Now "Vemod", the second LP of the five Swedes, is a clear further development of the already known trademarks of the band and thus comes across even more intense than its predecessors. The 10 tracks on the new album, which were mixed and mastered by Buster Odeholm (Vildhjarta, Humanity's Last Breath), are lyrically haunting and deal with personal setbacks, world-weariness, anger, and melancholy or wistfulness (="Vemod" in Swedish).

Over the years, Forgetting The Memories have remained true to their particular style, yet have constantly evolved and defined themselves as a truly essential force within the genre.

Forgetting The Memories Lineup:

Bastian Kempe - Vocals

Gustav Holst - Guitars

Adrian Lyxell - Guitars

Lukas Löken Olsson - Bass & Vocals

Johan Blomberg - Drums
