THE ESTES METHOD Deliver Hauntingly Raw New Single "Forgotten"

Alt-rock force THE ESTES METHOD returns with a gripping new single, “Forgotten,” a track that cuts deep, hits hard, and refuses to be ignored. Blending raw emotion with thunderous instrumentation, “Forgotten” marks a bold step forward for a band that continues to carve out its own lane in the modern rock landscape.

“Forgotten" is a dark, atmospheric track centered on the experience of hitting your lowest point and feeling lost and disconnected while searching for a way back to yourself. The song moves through themes of fragility, uncertainty, and internal struggle, using imagery like a ‘glass soul’ and the night sky to represent both vulnerability and guidance. At its core, it’s about following the ‘shine’ through the darkness and allowing that pull to lead you toward strength, clarity, and self-rediscovery.”

From the first note, “Forgotten” pulls listeners into a storm of atmosphere and intensity. Driven by haunting melodies, crushing guitars, and a vocal performance that feels both vulnerable and defiant, the song explores the fear of being erased of slipping through the cracks of memory, relationships, and time itself.

What does she know that I don't know? The singer has caught a glimpse of this woman and has fallen deeply in love, despite knowing almost nothing about her. ‘What if I'm missing something in my own life? What if?’"

Shallow Rising Unveil Powerful New Single “Lens Of Time”

‘Lens of Time’ is the song that built

SHALLOW RISING dark, cinematic, and forged over years of evolution.”

"Lens Of Time" marks the beginning of multiple new releases planned from SHALLOW RISING throughout 2026.

Rising rock band SHALLOW RISING is set to release their powerful new single “Lens Of Time,” a track that blends emotional depth, soaring melodies, and cinematic intensity into a song that resonates long after the final

note fades. The track features SHALLOW RISING drummer Chris Adler, the critically acclaimed musician known for his work with Lamb Of God and Megadeth.

With “Lens Of Time,” SHALLOW RISING explores the idea of looking back at life through the perspective of experience — the memories, the regrets, the victories, and the moments that shape who we become. The song captures the feeling of reflection and growth, wrapped in a sonic atmosphere that is both haunting

and uplifting.

Driven by dynamic guitars, immersive production, and emotionally charged vocals, “Lens Of Time”showcases the band’s ability to combine modern rock power with thoughtful storytelling. The track builds from introspective verses into an explosive, anthemic chorus that captures the passage of time and the weight of the moments we carry with us.

‘Lens of Time’ was the first song we ever started writing together back in 2022. It went through multiple identities and evolutions before becoming what it is now. It’s dark, urgent, and cinematic the kind of track that feels like it belongs at the end of a dystopian thriller. It carries tension without offering easy answers, and that’s exactly why it mattered to us enough to keep rebuilding it until it hit.”

Tim King of SHALLOW RISING

SHALLOW RISING is a modern rock band with one goal: to destroy the expectations that title brings with it.The quintet - Alex Villarreal (Vocals), Tim Ossenfort (Guitar), Taylor Brandt (Bass), Tim King (Keyboards), and Chris Adler (Drums) draw from a diverse bank of influences to craft something unique but archetypical.The band came to life one winter in a cold basement in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., where Ossenfort started writing demos and sharing them with his friend Chris Adler. The duo initially met at a recording session in Nashville, becoming good friends and later working together on a hardcore project.

Ultimately, they decided to take these new demos to the studio in LA, accompanied by Taylor Brandt. After some work it became obvious what was missing, and they added

Tim King onto the team. King, Brandt, and Ossenfort had all previously toured the country together extensively. Finally, Ossenfort reached out to Alex, another longtime friend, and the new group spent the next year rewriting their songs. Bringing together influences ranging from alternative rock, 70s prog, djent, EDM, pop, and metalcore, SHALLOW RISING provides listeners with a sound that is fresh, yet familiar.

The chorus rises with an anthemic force designed to echo in arenas, creating a sense of unity and purpose that resonates with listeners long after the

song ends.

"The overall theme points to how manipulated the majority of the population is by powerful entities with nefarious intentions, and how through the pursuit of that delusion by who it incentivizes, the burden is ultimately

endured by all." - TIDALS

The single highlights TIDALS' signature ability to merge powerful storytelling with expansive, modern rock production. With sweeping instrumentation and emotionally driven delivery, the band crafts a soundscape that feels both epic and deeply personal.

“When Heroes Speak” marks another important step forward for Tidals as they continue to gain attention for their cinematic sound and passionate songwriting. The band’s growing momentum reflects their dedication to creating music that connects with listeners on a deeper level — songs that inspire, challenge, and empower.

As the song builds toward its climactic finale, it leaves listeners with a powerful message: when heroes speak, people listen — and sometimes the world changes because of it.

Formed in Detroit, Michigan in 2025, TIDALS brings a raw and dynamic sound that bridges the worlds of heavy metal, hard rock, alternative, and hip hop. The band was founded by Mark CliffordJeff Cribbs, and Dave Martinez, each of whom carved their craft in the Detroit and Pittsburgh music scenes as former members of 

Chronic Groove and Camp Element.

With a foundation rooted in thunderous riffs, aggressive rhythms, and lyrical intensity, TIDALSchannels both the grit of Detroit and the edge of modern genre-blending. Their live performances showcase the chemistry and experience of seasoned musicians who have already shared stages at major festivals and landmark venues, delivering an energy that is as heavy as it is unforgettable.

Forged from diverse influences and years of collective experience, Tidals is not just another heavy band redefining metal music
