Today, Brazilian rock trio ELECTRIC MOB are excited to announce the digital deluxe edition of their sophomore album ‘2 Make U Cry & Dance,’ set for release on July 10th via Frontiers Music Srl. The digital deluxe edition will feature the full studio release alongside six live tracks performed at Capital Moto Week 2024. 

To celebrate the announcement, ELECTRIC MOB also share their new live version of “Will Shine,” accompanied by an official live video, available below. 

Vocalist Renan Zonta comments:

“We’re thrilled to release this super special edition of something we’re very proud of. The DLX version of our second album ‘2 Make U Cry & Dance’ comes with kickass live and raw cuts and it’s here to reinsure the power inside this beautiful cake. Give it an extra spin while we’re cooking a new one ⚡️😈”

Guitarist Ben Hur adds:

“We’ve always considered ourselves a band forged on stage. That’s where everything truly comes to life. In this deluxe release of our second album, we’re capturing a part of that energy and sharing it with fans who haven’t yet had the chance to experience it with us in person.”

Listen to “Will Shine” HERE

Without hiding their classic rock influences and driven by a modern, restless vision, ELECTRIC MOB are unafraid to break away from clichés and push rock fans beyond their comfort zone.

Hailing from Curitiba, Brazil, the band burst onto the scene like a mad dog on the loose with their debut album ‘DISCHARGE’ (2020). Raw, unapologetic, and emotionally charged, the record broke through borders, surprising international audiences and carving out space on rock radio stations throughout the United States and Europe.

In January 2023, the band released their second album, ‘2 MAKE U CRY & DANCE,’ earning positive reviews across multiple countries. This was followed by a Brazilian headlining tour through 12 cities in six different states. The momentum continued as ELECTRIC MOB joined forces with Project 46 for a nationwide run that expanded into Brazil’s Northeast.

Their live streak carried into 2024 and 2025 with a strong presence at major festivals, including Summer Breeze Brasil, now known as Bangers Open Air, where Billboard Brasil cited the band as “one of the most praised performances of the event.” Additional highlights include a main stage appearance at Capital Moto Week, which resulted in the live recording ‘Live @ Capital Moto Week,’ and performances at Porão do Rock (DF), Mundial Rock (SC), SBO Rock Fest (SP), and HackTown (MG).

FROSTMORNER Unleashes New Visualizer Video for ‘Demiurge’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on February 23, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Blackened atmospheric death metal project Frostmorner has unveiled the official visualizer for “Demiurge,” the latest offering from the acclaimed debut album Orbital Kaos, out now via Wormholedeath.

Ambitious in both scope and vision, “Demiurge” is a track that dares to ask one of existence’s questions: what if the universe itself was born from music? Drawing on the ancient philosophical archetype of the Demiurge, the primordial creator of all things, Frostmorner weaves a cinematic narrative in which musical creation and cosmic birth are one and the same. The Demiurge composes. The music plays. And from that music, a universe erupts into being.
The vision is epic and majestic, with imagery that captures the vastness of the cosmos and the immense power of music.

In the final act, the narrative shifts to the universe’s end—evoking the death of a star and the return to singularity.

Orbital Kaos is a collection of self-contained worlds, each track its own standalone entity, orbiting a single, unifying force: Kaos. Not chaos as disorder, but Kaos as the primordial state from which all things emerge.

Stream “Orbital Kaos” now: orcd.co/orbitalkaos

Previously released: “Gorgone” –  https://youtu.be/43VTbW89Hyc

TRANSATLANTIC RADIO Celebrate Release of “Midnight Transmission” Debut Album with Visualizer for ‘All For You’

Transatlantic Radio, the international AOR supergroup based in Los Angeles, are pleased to announce the release of their debut album “Midnight Transmission”, out now via Frontiers Music Srl. 

The focus track “All For You”, along with an official visualizer, is also out now.

Victor Brodén commented: “All For You” was written by our keyboard guru Fred Kron and it shows his strong pop leanings with infectious melodies and mesmerizing instrumental synth sections that are reminiscent of the glory days of Toto. Lyrically, it is about a man realizing that no matter what he did, it was never enough for the wrong woman. This story is still baked into a giant arena-ready mega chorus!”

Order “Midnight Transmission” HERE

Brodén stated: “The completion of this album is a love letter to the music that shaped my life, musically and otherwise. The guys in this band took what was a casual idea and turned it into something beyond my wildest dreams. Mattias Osbäck is truly one of the greatest rock voices of this generation with a rough edge that brings our big, sweeping melodies to life and gives them attitude”.

“RJ Ronquillo, on lead guitar, is a legend in his own right and a role model for guitarists around the world as well as one of the world’s most watched six-string heroes with his YouTube channel”, he continued. “His work on this album makes me grin ear to ear. Chris Reeve on drums is one of the most sought-after touring drummers in the world right now, and a bass player’s dream come true. Him agreeing to join this project is still mind boggling to me. Fred Kron on keyboards, my partner in production for this project, is nothing short of a wizard. There would be no Transatlantic Radio without his invaluable input, otherworldly mixes, and his ability to sprinkle magic dust on all of these songs. This is the band I could never have imagined being in growing up, and this is the record I always dreamed of making”.

An inspired celebration of classic AOR with a fresh, modern pulse, “Midnight Transmission” marks the official album debut of Transatlantic Radio, a truly international band founded by Victor Brodén, a Swedish-born bassist and producer now based in Los Angeles. 

Conceived during the isolation of the 2020 lockdown, the project was born out of a desire to bring timeless melodic rock back into the spotlight – with a lineup as global as their sound.
Fronted by powerhouse Swedish vocalist Mattias Osbäck and featuring American guitarist R.J. Ronquillo (known for his work with Ricky Martin, Santana, Stevie Wonder, and Stone Sour), the band blends European sensibility with American fire. 

The lush keyboards of Fred Kron – who had his work featured in Anchorman 2 and High School Musical 2, and longtime member of the Jimmy Kimmel Live! band – add cinematic depth and vintage flair. Behind the kit is Chris Reeve, drummer for Filter and Avril Lavigne, whose dynamic style gives the album its drive and precision. At the center of it all is Brodén himself, anchoring the songs with groove, vision, and a deep understanding of the genre’s melodic soul.

Following a string of well-received singles and video releases, Transatlantic Radio made their live debut at the Malmö Melodic Festival 2024, where their sound and presence confirmed that this is more than just a studio project – it’s a band with heart, muscle, and chemistry.

Musically, “Midnight Transmission” is a love letter to the 80’s giants of the genre – Foreigner, Toto, Danger Danger, Starship – but it’s no nostalgia act. Each track balances polish with punch, fusing massive choruses, slick arrangements, and emotionally charged performances with crisp, contemporary production. 

Packed with arena-ready anthems, the album showcases a band fully aware of their influences, yet unafraid to carve their own path forward. “Midnight Transmission” is more than a debut – it’s a statement: melodic rock is alive, and Transatlantic Radio is here to carry the signal.

“Midnight Transmission” Tracklist:

1.    That’s What You Get (For Falling In Love)    
2.    City Of Angels
3.    Wide Awake    
4.    Fever Dream    
5.    The Good Times
6.    First To Be The Last
7.    All For You
8.    Against All The Odds
9.    Born To Rise

Line Up:
Mattias Osbäck – Lead and background vocals
RJ Ronquillo – Guitar 
Victor Brodén – Bass 
Fred Kron – Keyboards 
Chris Reeve – Drums

SLIK HELVETIKA Return with New Album “Walk Through Fire” + Visualizer for Title Track

Posted by tarjavirmakari on February 23, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

One of the heaviest bands to emerge from the Philadelphia rock scene is SLIK HELVETIKA. From the glory days of the Philadelphia and New Jersey rock scene of the 80s that spawned Cinderella, Britny Fox, Pretty Poison, John Eddie, and an entire laundry list of artists who went forward to be stars, there was a band called Destroyer. Led by Michael Myers, the band had unknowingly sidestepped all the woes and pressures of being “that commodity” and unwanted influences. Taking some time to let the songs and playing develop to be the best it could resulted in that band today called Slik Helvetika. Lots of driving energy, melody, memorable chorus hooks, great playing and strong lyrics. 
 
The line up has always featured Michael Myers on lead guitar and vocals – who has had the privilege of playing alongside a variety of talented musicians, such as Kjell Benner [formerly of Quiet Riot] and Vern Parsons [Greg Howe]. The newest full release, Walk Through Fire, which drops through Deko Entertainment on February 20th, kicks off with the first single that was released in December Solar Head. Which, begins with an unsettling actual recording of solar wind, then erupts into full ass kicking mode.
 
Check out the visualizer for “Solar Head” here: https://youtu.be/eDdRGt1fjgI
 
Walk Through Fire consists of 13 blistering tracks including a cover of the Sweet’s “Fox on the Fun” and the title track, which the group’s long-time singer/guitarist/songwriter Myers was happy to elaborate on. 

“Do you ever feel like you are walking through fire just contending with the daily insanity and events of this world? Question everything! Humans have been giving up their power and potential by letting those who think they are in power create a mental box of falsities and limitations. We all should be different people today than yesterday if we continue to learn as we go. Right? Many stopped asking questions, acquiesced and bowed down to so-called ‘authority figures’ and put the blinders on. Those same authority figures run highly advanced psychological operations to divide us, keep us fighting with each other while they rob us mentally and literally. Those who noticed and objected to this system since birth are not alone.”

Check out the visualizer for “Walk Through Fire” here:

Myers continues, “Is AI becoming all the rage by surpassing humans? Maybe it is surpassing the mentally bankrupted and limited victims. Unlimited humans have potential capacities to walk over red hot coals, to see when blindfolded, detect colors without eyesight, remote view, perform psychokinesis, obtain photographic memory states from sub liminality and so much more. Stop believing you are insignificant. Your thoughts and consciousness create reality. You are more than you are told…..!”
