Eye of the Destroyer is an American death metal band from Union County, New Jersey, United States. Formed in 2013, the group is known for their consistently hook-laden song structures, characterized by mixing hardcore with death metal, slam riffs and heavy breakdowns. To date the band has released two full length albums and 5 ep's.
Their latest offering "Retinal Deprivation" is a high energy riff fest that deals with the harsh realities of not recognizing the person you've become. "Self reflection has been a focal point during the Covid 19 pandemic" says vocalist Joe Randazza. "It has enabled me to slow down and really take a look at the man that I had become. This self reflection birthed a new attitude. I am focused on bettering myself as a person and as a writer."
This is the first single of 2021 and the band has set out to release new music once a month for the foreseeable future. Merch can be found at www.highpotencyproductions.com
Hailing from Poland, metal combo PSYCHO VISIONS is a band playing metal in a wide sense. Defined by the audience in various ways - ranging from melodic death metal to universal music. Focused on creating diverse, attention-grabbing music. Founded in 2015 in Rzeszów, with three studio materials to this date: EP "further, darker, deeper ..." from 2015, album "Inflect" from 2018 and album "Our Own" from 2020.
Apart from the musical aspect, the band pays a lot of attention to the visual aspect of their art. The scenic presence, combined with the scenery, creates the complete world that the band shows to its audience.
Lyrically, the album is a commentary to the phenomena that everyone encounters in life. It is the name and definition of situations in which we come to function. Difficult social relationships, internal experiences, toxic interactions with the environment. Naming them, taming them, is to help all the people involved in it find themselves in it.
"Psycho Visions" philosophy
The band follows the idea of creative freedom, breaking old patterns. Musically, we create what is natural for us, which creates a mix of four people making a band. We don't want to limit ourselves by any genre. Our goal is to create varied, unique music to give the listener something to identify with that reflects the complexity of the personality as such. Life and people are not one-dimensional, and this is what we want to convey in music. We believe that audience deserve to devote ourselves, our time and creativity to create something that will not be secondary, monotonous and boring.
In the lyrical layer, we name phenomena from the surrounding reality. We avoid abstract topics, we look in directions that are familiar to everyone. We focus on what is happening inside and outside of a person - in his psyche and in relations with others and the surrounding world. We want to show that many people go through similar things, and by naming them, we make it easier to deal with what is often difficult.
