SOMETIME IN FEBRUARY Launch New Single ‘Outside In’ + Complete Work on Debut Album

US-based rising instrumental progressive metallers, Sometime In February, are pleased to launch a brand new single titled ‘Outside In’. This track will feature on the bands as-yet-untitled InsideOutMusic debut, which they have just finished recording, and will be released in Spring 2025. Listen to the track now here: https://sometimeinfebruary.lnk.to/OutsideIn

The band comments: “Outside In is one of Sometime in February’s proverbial kitchen sink tracks. There’s a little bit of everything we are in it. It takes us high in the mountains and back to sea level multiple times throughout its runtime. It’s heavy, melodic, and ever so complicated, making it increasingly unpredictable as it goes on. It’s also one of our few current seven-stringed guitar songs, and we always add a little more elbow grease in our songs featuring them.”

Earlier this year the band released a track titled ‘The Bad Fight’, which featured a guest appearance from Paul Waggoner of Between The Buried & Me. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/aKz6VlixlO0

Originally founded as an instrumental solo project for guitarist Tristan Auman in 2020, Sometime in February became a fully rounded prog rock trio with the addition of drummer Scott Barber and bassist Morgan Johnson after making the jump from studio to stage following the release of their EP ‘Here Goes’ in 2021.

The Carolina-based group has kept their foot on the gas ever since, touring throughout the Southeast US and releasing their follow-up, the debut LP ‘There Goes’, in 2023. Their first full-length record gained attention from prog fans and peers alike, with Tristan receiving an invitation to join Between the Buried and Me in a live capacity starting in 2023.

The band comments: “We are thrilled to be signing to the world’s premier label for progressive music, InsideOutMusic. Sometime in February wouldn’t exist without many of the artists on their roster, and it’s an honor to stand beside them. Thomas Waber has been supportive and encouraging to us for some time now, and we’re excited that we found the right moment to work together and make InsideOutMusic the home for the next era of Sometime in February.

InsideOutMusic label-head Thomas Waber adds: “We are extremely excited to be working alongside this talented young US band. After talking to them for a while, it felt like now was the right time to welcome them to the fold, and on the evidence of the new track ‘Hiding Place’, bright things are ahead!”

BENTHOS Sign with InsideOutMusic, Reveal New Single & Video ‘Fossil’ from Upcoming Album

InsideOutMusic is excited to announce the signing of the Italian progressive metal band BENTHOS. Alongside the signing announcement, the band has unleashed their new single “Fossil”, which marks the first song from their upcoming album with InsideOutMusic. It will be Benthos’ second full length record and will be released in spring 2025.   

Stream the single “Fossil” now HERE

The band share about the single “Fossil”: 

“Fossil is the most extravagant track we’ve ever created. A persuasive, energetic, dynamic and primordial journey where the instruments know no boundaries, projecting the listener into an abstract dimension that blends various soundscapes. The song delves into the confrontation between the present self and the past experiences of humanity, fossilized memories which are deeply rooted in today’s modern society and remind us of the marks we leave on the world”.

Benthos is an experimental progressive metal band from Milan, Italy. Formed in 2018, the quintet gained recognition in the Italian metal scene by opening for The Contortionist in 2019 in their home country. Their debut album, “II”, released in 2021, is defined by its technical edge, complex rhythms, and heavy, dynamic guitar work balanced with serene, melodic interludes. Benthos’ live performances, described as hypnotic and chaotic, have taken them across Italy and Europe, including a notable appearance at Milan’s Dissonance Festival in 2023. While working on their sophomore record, Benthos signed with label InsideOutMusic, which marks a significant milestone for the Italian band.

The band shares about the signing:
“Signing with InsideOutMusic marks the start of an exciting new chapter for the Benthos family. This announcement symbolizes a monumental change, where our courage to break free from conventions brings a powerful sense of hope for our future. Now is the time to share our music with the world, with all the passion that has united us since the first moment we played together.”

Thomas Waber, label-head of InsideOutMusic, adds:
„We are delighted to welcome Benthos to the InsideOutMusic family. Their modern and daring approach to music caught our attention and we are looking forward to developing this young ambitious band!”

Daring might be the perfect description for their first single with InsideOutMusic, “Fossil”. The immersive song delves into themes of memory, identity, and time. Anchored in the themes of Benthos’ upcoming record, “Fossil” draws on the idea that our present selves are intricately shaped by fragments of the past — fossilized memories embedded deep within our souls. Musically, Fossil is a whirlwind of chaotic, fuzzy tones with atmospheric, space-driven sections, mirroring the disorientation and clarity within the lyrics. Frenetic drumming and unpredictable guitar tones add to the sense of cyclical chaos, while moments of calm draw listeners into a surreal space where time seems to suspend. Shifting from organic vintage sounds to futuristic synthetic tones, Fossil exemplifies Benthos’ no-holds-barred approach to music, where boundless creativity reigns.

Benthos are
Gabriele Landillo – vocals
Gabriele Papagni – guitar
Enrico Tripodi – guitars
Alberto Fiorani – bass
Alessandro Tagliani – drums

IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT Release New Single/Video ‘Hotel Sphinx’ from Upcoming Album “Goldstar”

Avantgarde metal trio IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT has released a new single with an accompanying video: “Hotel Sphinx”. Taken from their upcoming sixth full-length, Goldstar (set for a 2025 release via Century Media Records), “Hotel Sphinx” can be streamed now here; watch the video (directed by the band’s own Steve Blanco) below.

Imperial Triumphant comments: “The ‘Entertainer extraordinaire’ leads a gullible audience through the sinister halls of the ‘Hotel Sphinx’. Behind the lights, cameras, and endless action lies a disturbing undercurrent—where power is fed by the innocence of youth. The lines between entertainment, initiation, and exploitation blur as a conspiracy of silence reigns in the ‘Illuminated Valley of the Kings’, where political celebrity celebrates death. Rites of passage too dark to speak, promising false salvation in a world where the show never ends.”

Equally rooted in eclectic black metal, the most claustrophobic notions of free jazz, and the concept of urban cityscapes as canyons of horror, Imperial Triumphant’s signature sound has set a new standard for the possibilities of extreme music. Fans can expect Goldstar to continue down this sonic path next year, with media already hailing first single “Eye of Mars” as “chaotic, eerily-atmospheric” (Metal Injection). Stay tuned for more details to come soon…

Imperial Triumphant line-up:
Zachary Ezrin – Vocals, Guitar
Steve Blanco – Bass, Keyboards
Kenny Grohowski – Drums

After announcing their signing with Century Media Records in September and releasing the single “Near Dark”, Estonian metalcore quartet Pridian are keeping up the momentum with their latest track “idoldust” from their forthcoming album. Characterized by atmospheric depth and intense dynamics, the single highlights Pridian’s versatility while further shaping the unique sound listeners can expect from the band in the near future. Their record, which will mark the band’s second full-length album, is set to be released some time in spring 2025. The album follows Pridian’s 2023 EP “Cybergnosis”.

Stream the single now HERE

The band shares about “idoldust”:

“Idoldust is about the human tendency to glorify external symbols of power, without realizing that the monuments and figures are mere reflections of their creators, and that true strength is found within each individual.”

The single “idoldust,” mixed and mastered by Matt Thomas, follows Pridian’s previous release, “Near Dark.” Released in September, “Near Dark” marked the band’s debut with their new label, Century Media Records. You can check out the video for their first single here.
