The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS) have unveiled their new single and official video for “Waves”.

The album is now available to pre-save as well as digital pre-order on The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara’s official website.

Speaking about their new single and video for “Waves”, Daphne Ang and Andrea Papi shared,
“This song is about the unpredictability of life, and how quickly we can transition from safety and comfort to peril without noticing.”

The single is accompanied by an official video produced by the duo’s visual and video production entity, TCOMAS Studio.

Stream “Waves” — https://ffm.to/_waves

“Waves” is preceded by the release of several singles from the new album. The first single, “Mysterium Tremendum”, blended death metal, poetry, and classical orchestration, and was also accompanied by an animated music video. This was followed by “Feed the Beast”, a progressive rock and metal anthem delving into the theme of addiction and recovery, “Bite the Bullet”, a hip-hop/metal song featuring UK-based Italian rapper, Mr Meuri, and most recently, the single and video for “It goes”.

ORIGINS continues The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara’s impressive streak of self-produced efforts, and will be the duo’s third studio album in four years.

Providing a glimpse on what listeners can expect from the new album, Daphne Ang and Andrea Papi shared, 
“Origins is about our personal experience of mysteries, rituals, true friendships, bad mentors, addiction, and death. This album is deeply personal, and is written from the heart. We dedicate it to the people who are still here, and for those we have lost. You’ll find many unexpected twists and turns throughout the album. Such is the chaos and unpredictability of life.”

The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara’s new album, ORIGINS, will be released worldwide on November 1, 2024, — visit ffm.to/origins-album to pre-save. ORIGINS is now available for digital pre-order purchase as a digital download  — visit tcomas.com/origins to pre-order.

SMILE EMPTY SOUL Release New Single ‘We All Fall Down’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 7, 2024
Posted in: News. Tagged: SMILE EMPTY SOUL. Leave a comment

Alt-rock veterans Smile Empty Soul have unveiled their latest single, “We All Fall Down”. The track is a preview of their upcoming EP, Swan Song, which is scheduled for release at the end of the year through TLG|ZOID distributed by Virgin Music Group.

“We all live unique lives, but what we have in common is that life kicks the shit out of us all in various ways. Learning how to overcome that is key to survival and the ability to thrive,” says Sean Danielsen.

The song was written and produced by Sean Danielsen, engineered by Brian Scheffer, mixed and mastered by Eddie Wohl.

Stream “We All Fall Down” at https://ffm.to/ses-we-all-fall-down

SMILE EMPTY SOUL is a hard rock band that originated in Los Angeles, CA in the late 1990’s and has stayed true to their brand of “no bullshit”, “real as it gets” hard rock to this day. The band signed a major label record deal in 2003 to release their self-titled debut album in May of that year. They realized huge success at alternative radio, rock radio, and the music video channels that have since fallen by the wayside or turned into reality show networks.

After 3 very successful singles/videos and a gold record from the debut release, the band ran into trouble with their record company (which was in the midst of turmoil at the top levels) and found themselves working extra hard in the trenches, and signed to indie labels or no label at all from then on.

This would become SMILE EMPTY SOUL’s destiny, as they have gone on to release many more albums and EP’s on various labels, as well as their own company “smile empty music inc”. The band released their 9th full length record Black Pilled on October 12th of 2021 completely on their own.

“Smile” has become known for its constant touring and never wavering honest sound/lyrics. They’ve never changed for anybody, and turned down many opportunities to “sell out” because it’s not who they are.

With a new album, and just as much drive as they had starting out 20 years ago, this band looks to continue to build on the legacy they’ve created as one of the hardest working, and most underrated bands in rock and roll.

The band has recently partnered with TLG|ZOID distributed by Virgin Music Group to release new music. Denny Sanders (The Label Group) and Sean Danielsen previously partnered on the successful release of Consciousness. Released in 2009 the record has become second only to the band’s debut release in popularity.

ASARHADDON Unleash New Album “Êra”, Out Now And Streaming

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 7, 2024
Posted in: News. Tagged: ASARHADDON. Leave a comment

Friday, October 4, German atmospheric black metal duo ASARHADDON released their highly anticipated sophomore full-length “Êra” through Vendetta Records! Order your album copy now at: https://vendettarecords.bigcartel.com 

“Êra” marks a significant milestone for the band as they celebrate their tenth anniversary, inviting listeners to embark on a journey through time and emotion.

“Êra”, which translates to “crown” in Old Low Franconian, weaves the tales of four kings, drawing inspiration from true historical events. The record reads like a singing book, transporting listeners to a realm filled with sorrowful melancholy, golden sands, deep forests, enchanting autumn colours, and distant waters. ASARHADDON‘s music serves as a poignant reminder of days long past, inviting a dance of majestic timbre and wailing poetry.

The album cover, adorned with the skulls of four birds, symbolizes the respective countries of origin of the four kings. This striking imagery was captured in a local forest that holds significant meaning for the band, reflecting their roots and the journey they have taken over the past decade.

In their grieving compositions, the collective envelops the listener in a meld of grand atmospheres and a ponderous sadness. Their instruments form choirs chanting mournful hymns, meandering through the gloom of arcane worlds forgotten by time. Accompanied by remarkably poetic calls, the two writers reveal a deep longing for secludedness in nature.

Tracklist:

  1. Der silberne Mond
  2. Im tiefen Wald
  3. Ein letzter Frühling
  4. Die roten Vögel

ASARHADDON are:
Christian Kircher
Christian Koss

Session musicians
Nova (Vocals)
Florian Kunde (Live bass)

PYRAH Drop ‘End Of The Slope’ Video from New Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 7, 2024
Posted in: News. Tagged: PYRAH. Leave a comment

French female-fronted modern metal act PYRAH is thrilled to announce the release of their latest video for the single “End Of The Slope,” taken from the critically acclaimed album Veni Vidi Delevi, available now via Wormholedeath. Known for their powerful blend of aggressive riffs and emotionally charged lyrics, Pyrah delivers a fresh take on modern metal with a fierce, unmistakable edge.

“End of the Slope” takes you deep into the shadows of regret and emotional torment. A relentless cycle of guilt, haunting memories, and suffocating isolation—fear and hope collide in this extreme metal journey. Prepare to face the darkness within.

Veni Vidi Delevi showcases Pyrah’s evolution into a force to be reckoned with. Combining early metal influences with a modern twist, the record is packed with crushing guitar work, dynamic rhythms, and the striking vocals of their powerhouse frontwoman. Fans of Once Human, Jinjer, and Vexed will find much to love in this bold, unapologetic offering. Prepare to lose yourself in the headbanging chaos!

The band’s path to this moment has been anything but conventional. After the success of their 2019 single “Stumble” from Part of the Ghost World, PYRAH embarked on their most ambitious project yet. Despite navigating lineup changes and a self-production journey that tested their limits, their efforts caught the discerning eye of WormholeDeath. The result? Veni Vidi Delevi—a powerful reflection of their growth, infused with a darker, more aggressive edge inspired by their Italian studio surroundings and personal introspection.

Meet the Band:
Vocals: Ivy Brizard
Guitars: Maxime Walchuk
Bass: Clem Artuso
Drums: Lucie Duval

Alternative Rockers THE WRECKS Release New Single ‘Always, Everytime’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 7, 2024
Posted in: News. Tagged: THE WRECKS. Leave a comment

Following unprecedented independent success earmarked by tens of thousands of tickets sold and over a quarter-billion streams, alternative music’s best-kept secret Los Angeles-based band The Wrecks unveil a brand-new single entitled “Always, Everytime.” The song notably marks their first release since 2022 and premiered with Sirius XM Alt Nation as their official debut for LAVA/Republic Records.

Listen to the single HERE.

About the song, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Nick Anderson commented, “‘Always, Everytime’ is about meeting someone whose brain works just like yours does—someone who makes you feel seen like you’ve never been seen, heard like you’ve never been heard, and who relates to all your idiosyncrasies and loves you for them. It’s a promise to this person that they can always be fully themselves around you, and they’ll be embraced, celebrated, and cherished. I wrote most of this song on the fly in one two-minute voice memo. I was thinking about the people in my life I have felt the most understood by. I worked out maybe 19 different arrangements for this track. The version you hear has bits and pieces from every one of those variations. It was truly a labor of love, but well, well worth it.”
 
As usual, The Wrecks bring unpredictability back to alternative rock. On the track, an off-kilter groove quakes beneath a luminous guitar riff, glistening keyboard line, and warm bass. It builds towards a head-nodding hook, “Come on let’s get moving. If something is wrong, I know we’ll get through it, always, everytime.” Overflowing with energy, “Always, Everytime” climaxes on a soaring guitar solo.

Stay tuned for the premiere for an equally captivating and quirky music video to accompany the track.
 
Next up, The Wrecks will set out on the Super Half-Marathon Fall 2024 Tour. They notably sold out the entirety of this run in 12 hours, and they’ll be rolling through intimate venues such as Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn, NY on November 13 and The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, CA on November 21. This tour follows last year’s Half Marathon Tour, which not only sold out in 3 LA venues, but was sold out on day one of pre-sales.

Maintaining this momentum into the next year, they embark on their biggest headline run to date INSIDE: OUTSIDE Tour in 2025 It kicks off on April 18 in Berkley, CA at UC Berkeley, visits major markets coast-to-coast, and concludes on May 31 in Los Angeles, CA at The Wiltern.
