HONEY BOMBS RELEASE "THERE IS AN ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Band: HONEY BOMBS

Album: There Is An Elephant In The Room

Country: Italy

Genre: Heavy Metal / Rock

Release date: March 14, 2025

HoneyBombs are a Rock/Metal band formed in Rome in 2012 from an idea by Alex Rotten. After lineup changes and several live shows throughout Italy, in 2016 the band recorded their debut album: “Wet Girls and Other Funny Tales“, co-produced, recorded, mixed and mastered at “Time Collapse Studio” in Rome by Riccardo Studer and Alessio Cattaneo. The album is composed of 11 pure and cheerful songs and carefree Rock’n’Roll with notable influences of solid and true Heavy Metal punk attitude.

The album was released by Sliptrick Records on April 13, 2017. The lineup for the first album was: Andrew Skid (vocals, backing vocals, piano and keyboards), Alex Rotten (guitar, lead guitar, backing vocals, screaming vocals and vocals on “Don’t Wanna Be Like Johnny“), Helias Marson (guitar, lead guitar and backing vocals), Steelblade (bass and backing vocals) and Fabulous Fab (drums). The debut album was played in Italian cities and was reviewed by many sites and a couple of interviews were released on web radio. The album had good success in Northern Europe, America, China and Japan.

But soon the lineup changed again…

The first to leave the band was Steelblade in 2018 and for many live shows Andrew Skid played bass while singing. Before long Luke Vanilla joined them for a new adventure. The second to leave the band was Fabulous Fab, who left to travel the world for work and was replaced by Mishman in 2019.

With his imprint, the band turned their sound towards metal. The third but not the last member to leave the band was Helias Marson, replaced by Simone Lanna in 2019 for a short time and then replaced in turn by Dottor Gain, an old friend of Andrew Skid who had played in a band several years ago.

Unfortunately, the covid pandemic in 2020 caused work problems for their drummer Mishman who had to change country due to work needs. So after various searches for a replacement, HoneyBombs define the new definitive lineup with Dany Cool on drums. From that moment on they immediately dedicated themselves to creating new songs for the second album and to reconsolidating the old songs, modifying the sound and some riffs. HoneyBombs start recording their second album in 2022: “There Is An Elephant In The Room” which will be released soon.

REEKMIND RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "SLITHERING SPELL"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Australian death-doom metallers REEKMIND have released the second single from their upcoming debut album, "Mired in the Reek of Grief", set to unleash its haunting presence on MC and LP format via Night Terrors Records on March 7th, 2025.

The new song is called "Slithering Spell" and it's now premiering via Mystification Zine at THIS LOCATION.

With their peculiar blend of crushing riffs and emotionally charged atmospheres, REEKMIND takes listeners on a harrowing journey through the depths of human despair. As the band describes, "The Reekmind is a manifestation of insurmountable grief that is represented in a physical form which slowly overtakes one's mind and causes all affected to spiral into an inescapable well of misery and mental agony." This ethos is deeply embedded in their music, delivering an experience that is both devastatingly heavy and cathartically profound.

REEKMIND's debut album bridges the gap between classic death-doom foundations and atmospheric, almost transcendental elements that flirt with the introspective tones of post-metal and the visceral weight of sludge. The result is a soundscape that is both raw and expansive, embodying the essence of pure sonic catharsis.

The album's organic production enhances its live-like authenticity, enveloping listeners in a sound that feels immediate, honest, and deeply personal. REEKMIND eschews flashy gimmicks, focusing instead on the power of the riff and constructing cohesive, expansive structures that resonate long after the final note fades.

For fans of: Inverloch, Krypts, Thou
