"Floodgates" is the opening track and first single from "Soulsearching", Soliloquium's fourth fulllength album. The song features guest vocals by Oddleif Stensland from Norwegian progressive metal band Communic. Soliloquium vocalist/guitarist Stefan Nordström comments: "It was a dream come true to have Oddleif perform on "Floodgates". I've been a huge fan of Communic and his voice for a long time, and he came in and absolutely nailed the vocal performance and the atmosphere of the song. It made "Floodgates" a perfect opening track that really kicks off the album with a bang".

For fans of Katatonia, Anathema, Daylight Dies, October Tide, Swallow the Sun, Ghost Brigade, Insomnium

Bittersweet, existential sorrow from Stockholm, Sweden "Soulsearching" dives into personal hardships, the mental health epidemic, nostalgia, restlessness and much more. It's an album for those who are still seeking, still feeling - being tossed between hope and hopelessness. There is empathy and understanding out there, but there is also a lot of hurtful, discouraging darkness. In that duality, hope comes and goes. That's what "Soulsearching" is meant to reflect.

The music is once again mixed and mastered by doom metal aficionado Jari Lindholm (Enshine, Exgenesis, ex-Slumber) and features several guest performances, including two well-known Scandinavian progressive metal singers and Jari himself.

SEPTEM RELEASE "PSEUDONICA"

PRESS RELEASE:

Release date: January 21, 2022

FFO: Saxon, Iron Maiden, Nevermore, Annihilator

Location: Italy

After the release of the first promo in 2011, the first album in 2013 and the second one in 2016, SEPTEM decided to shut themselves in the studio to collaborate on their third album called PSEUDONICA. This album is a strong blend of melodies reminiscent of British Heavy Metal combined with modern, intensely accelerated rhythms. The fruits of their labor make an album that is polished yet fierce with hard-hitting songs balanced with catchy melodies which amalgamate perfectly with growls and venom-spitting snarls. SEPTEM opened shows for various artists such as Tank, Frostmoon Eclipse, Cadaveria, Pino Scotto, Sabotage to name only a few. With the release of this album, SEPTEM will tour Italy and some countries in Europe. This album was recorded at Italian top Nadir Music Studios in Genoa with the expert supervision of Tommy Talamanca (Sadist) as the producer.

Classic Heavy Metal combined with modern, intensely accelerated rhythms and growl.

Recorded and mixed by producer Tommy Talamanca (Sadist) at Italian famous Nadir Music Studios.

WYLDRA RELEASE "COME TO BE"

PRESS RELEASE:

Release Date: January 28th, 2022

FFO: Metallica, Pantera, Black Sabbath

Location: Omaha, Nebraska

Started by brothers William Wilder (guitar/vocals) and James Wilder (drums/vocals) and Matthew Drazic (bass). The brothers started playing music at the ages of 15 and 12. With a deep love for music long before that. While in school, Will met Matthew and the two connected with love of bands like Metallica and Black Sabbath. From there, the trio would form many projects with each other and develop a lifelong musical bond. After a slew of shows and an EP with their longest running group (Rejected Saint), the group disbanded in 2015. Four years later the three would reunite under a new name and with a new vision.

Wyldra came to be in 2019, combining new influences and the heaviness/intensity for their love of music, it was only three months until they had written enough material to go to Warehouse Productions in Omaha to record a self-titled EP, which was released in November of 2019, with a successful run of shows to follow its release. In 2020 they returned to Warehouse Productions to record their full-length debut - rightfully titled "Come to Be”. Wyldra continue to challenge themselves and further evolve as they venture into the biggest chapter of their musical journey yet. Characterized by a dynamic and unique style with stampeding rhythms and groovy staccato riffs, layered with the brothers slashing and melodic vocal styles. Wyldra developed a sound that is as introspective in the writing as it is aggressive on the stage.
