DEADLOCK CREW RELEASE "NO WAY OUT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Deadlock Crew were born in Italy, in Trieste, back in 1999.

A solid metal band that has always maintained the same line up, the same energy and the same enthusiasm for metal. Lorenzo and Giuliano, singer/guitarist and drummer respectively, with their experience gained in numerous local musical realities, found a perfect harmony with the guitarist Yure and the bassist Daniele in this project.

The idea is to mix the genres that have always influenced their music the most such as thrash metal, alternative metal and hard rock.

In the year of their foundation, they released a promo-CD entitled "Lobotomized People" which received numerous positive reviews from industry experts of the time and encouraged the band to remain active in the area with concerts, events, festivals and motorcycle rallies. Live performances made of "enthusiasm, watts and sweat" are liked by the band, which over the years specializes, leaving aside studios and recording rooms.

The year of COVID-19 forces the four to change course and therefore dedicate themselves exclusively to the development and recording of new material for their 2021 album entitled "Look Down On Me".

In 2024 the band has matured further, the fire of enthusiasm and energy does not tend to decrease, indeed, after numerous live shows where they were able to perform for rock/metal music enthusiasts, they decide to release the new album "No Way Out". More aggressive and technical album than the previous one.

MONOGON RELEASE "MONOGON"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The Alternative-Thrash-Metalband MONOGON was founded in 2020 by Sanjay Kliche (26;Vocals/Guitar), Timo Kuhnert (25;Guitar/Synths) and Leo Riepert (18;Drums) in Gütersloh, Germany. 

MONOGON just released their first record and played multiple live shows in their local area. Their music breathes an energy that is barely seen in more modern metal music mixed with an unexpected experimental side to create a mix that feels familiar but new at the same time. 

The bass was replaced by a synth, the drummer shows you how hard one can play without needing a trigger and samples, the guitar riffs are old-school and the vocals scream until the voice is gone.

ATARAXIA RELEASE "TORMENTS OF REALITY"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Ataraxia is a heavy/thrash metal band from Kungshamn, Sweden. The idea of the band was formed when the guitarists Oscar Östman from Smögen and Abbe André from Trollhättan found each other on Facebook. As the spring of 2023 came to an end, Alfons Myrvold from Strömstad joined the band as bassist and vocalist. When summer came to an end, the lineup was complete with David Klys from Älvängen joining them on drums, which marked the beginning of Ataraxia. 

On the 22nd of March, the band released their debut album "Torments of Reality", which aims to dissect the current situation in the world, in regards to wars, prejudice, and threats to democracy.

willowtip.com/store

The band released the following statement concerning the new album:

"It’s been 5 years since our last release, Accursed. The EP really was a new avenue for the band as we leaned further toward a more blackened approach stylistically. Having more of a tech death background, this EP was a way to lead our fans into the next era. Between The Worlds of Life and Death is an album that really is just a continuation of what we started with Accursed. It captures the band's core sound, but also brings a newer and bold take on this brand of metal. We want this to be the most approachable album we have made for metal fans. We want people to put this on and be sucked in immediately, yet keep coming back for more.” 

Track Listing:

1. The Forgotten Path (Intro)

2. Silent Prayer

3. Soul Offering

WHITE STONES RELEASE "MEMORIA VIVA"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

WHITE STONES – the brainchild of Opeth bassist Martín Mendéz – has unveiled a brand new single, “La Ira.” The track comes by way of the band’s third studio album, Memoria Viva, which will be released on June 28th via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM).

Mendéz comments, "'La Ira' is a song reflecting on the power that greed has over our minds. The awakening of 'La Ira' [English - 'the anger'] refers to our instinctive reaction about choices that affect humanity and life itself. It's a song of hope; the hope of decisions for the betterment of the world we live in."

Watch the video for WHITE STONES’ “La Ira,” produced by La Lombarda Films, at THIS LOCATION. Stream/purchase the track at THIS LOCATION.

Preorder the album in the physical format of your choice [Digipak-CD; Sepia Marbled Vinyl LP - eco-friendly recycled, every copy is one of a kind], presave it on your favorite DSP, or preorder it digitally to receive “La Ira” instantly now at whitestones.rpm.link/memoriavivaPR.

Memoria Viva Track Listing:

1. Memoria Viva

2. Humanoides

3. D-Generación

4. Zamba De Orun

5. La Ira

6. Somos

7. Grito Al silencio

8. Vencedores Vencidos

9. Yemayá

Much like its predecessors, Memoria Viva melts together disparate genres into a unique sonic experience. The instrumental frenzy migrates with delicate intricacies creating a mesmerizing atmosphere captivating any musical connoisseur, with the energetic language of Spanish chosen to round out this multi-faceted endeavor.

"Making an album in Spanish is something that I wanted to do for a long time,” notes Mendéz. “We tried it out with our second record, Dancing Into Oblivion, but at the time we couldn't convince ourselves that it worked on that album. This time we did, and I feel very proud of the result."

Adds vocalist Eloi Boucherie, "One of the most notable aspects of this new album, apart from not setting any creative limits musically, has been the challenge of having proposed to sing in the Spanish language. It has been a very exciting experience, and we believe we have found a new way to continue giving something new to the WHITE STONES sound and make this musical proposal something more unique!"

Elements of aggression, that can be heard within Memoria Viva’s instrumental frenzies, manage to co-exist along softer vibes, generating a distinct dynamic among the songs, with interludes allowing listeners to take a breath and appreciate what they're hearing.

WHITE STONES' Memoria Viva was recorded at Farm Of Sounds Studios and mixed and mastered by Gerard Porqueres at Heartwork Recording Studios (both in Barcelona, Spain).

The band’s lineup has been enhanced with the participation of the multi-faceted Joan Carles Marí Tur on drums and guitar solos provided by João Sassetti. Additional guests José Ignacio Lagos (flute) and Joakim Svalberg (keyboards) accentuate the album further. Memoria Viva is a true treat for anyone who enjoys devouring multi-experimental musicianship.
