Dallas, Texas modern rock band Empiires has released their latest single “Never Enough” through TLG|ZOID / Virgin Music Group.

EYES LIKE MIDNIGHT Drop New Single + Official Music Video ‘Quicksand’

Emerging rock sensation Eyes Like Midnight are thrilled to announce the release of their latest single, “QUICKSAND,” accompanied by a compelling music video.

“With ‘QUICKSAND’, we wanted to shift drastically from our last single, ‘BAD LOVE’, to create something unapologetically fierce. We wanted to write a track that was just relentlessly heavy. I’ve always been pretty fascinated by Egyptian mythology and this song felt like a perfect fit to experiment with it. We ended up with what is probably the heaviest track of our careers. We debuted this track at Rock Fest in Cadott, WI and the energy we felt from the crowd was incredible!” says Robert Cosgrove, the band’s vocalist.

“QUICKSAND” is now available on all major streaming platforms, and the music video can be viewed HERE.

Welcome to the new world.

In this age of artificial intelligence, rapid change and dynamic evolution are inevitable.

Trends and bands come and go with the hyper-speed of information flow. After 10+ years and nearly 700 live shows all across America, the dissolution of vocalist/songwriter Robert Cosgrove’s band Sleep Signals in 2023 gave birth to something new and noteworthy – and in 2024, it emerged as a fully evolved idea.

EYES LIKE MIDNIGHT signifies the dawn of a new era, where his seemingly-limitless ability to create is no longer bound by the constraints of staying within formula. “Starting over has allowed me to be much more dynamic and to incorporate different sounds into the framework of my music”, explains Cosgrove. Recording 15 new songs in three multi-week, intense sessions at producer Chris Dawson’s Aphiotic Studios in rural Kansas, Robert and his co-writers spent eight weeks writing and tracking the music that would ultimately encapsulate the beginning of EYES LIKE MIDNIGHT.

On April 18th, the debut single, “Digital Deity” was unleashed to streaming platforms globally. The track garnered immediate attention, receiving rotation on Sirius XM Octane and several FM stations around the US. The band followed up their debut with a synthwave-inspired pop track, “Bad Love,” which features a brutal breakdown before concluding the final chorus. On August 2nd, the band releases “Quicksand,” the heaviest track to date.

Eyes Like Midnight:
Robert Cosgrove – Vocals
Tristin Paz – Bass
Kaylynn Sammy – Guitar

The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara + Mr Meuri

The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS) have released a new song – “Bite the Bullet“, featuring UK-based Italian rapper Mr Meuri. Born out of a collaborative studio session between the TCOMAS duo of Daphne Ang and Andrea Papi and rap artist Mr Meuri, the dynamic new song combines hip-hop and to showcase the diverse talents of the artists.

Speaking about the guest feature, Andrea Papi shares,
“We wanted to push our sound into another territory. We invited our good friend Mr Meuri to collaborate on vocals for an instrumental track I created. He’s an awesome rap artist who has performed and worked with many well-known Italian artists.”

Reflecting on the collaboration, Daphne adds, 
“Working with Mr. Meuri on this track really inspired me to finally try my hand at rapping, something I’ve always wanted to do but never had the chance or courage to pursue. It was a great experience that pushed me out of my comfort zone to explore a new creative outlet”.

“Bite the Bullet (featuring Mr Meuri)” is preceded by “Feed the Beast”, a progressive rock and metal anthem about addiction. Released earlier this year, the single gained recognition by being included in various editorial playlists on Apple Music and Amazon Music.

The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara
The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS), a UK-based duo featuring Daphne Ang (Singapore) and Andrea Papi (Italy), emerged in London in early 2020. Their debut album, Full Spectrum, established their innovative fusion of poetry performance and heavy music, creating a unique form of expression that has become synonymous with TCOMAS. Their sophomore album, Trust No Leaders, released on July 1, 2022, explores the history of metal, paying tribute to various subgenres and non-Western musical influences. In 2024, TCOMAS released “Mysterium Tremendum” – a fusion of classical orchestration, poetry, and death metal, followed by “Feed the Beast”, a progressive rock and metal anthem about addiction.

Mr Meuri
Hailing from Cagliari, Sardinia (Italy), London-based rapper Mr Meuri emerged from the vibrant Sardinian hip-hop scene in the early 2000s. Over the years, Mr Meuri has worked and performed with many well-known Italian rappers and artists, cultivating an eclectic sound that incorporates multiple influences ranging from crossover and new metal to hardcore, punk, hip-hop, rap, and R&B. Mr Meuri is currently represented by Italian hip-hop label Zerocloni Records.

Their last release, 2023’s “Into Victory”, crowns a discography of seven studio albums and three EPs, interlaced with regular tours. The last of them, “Titans Of Darkness Tour”, has seen the band journey across Europe with Inquisition in spring 2024, with majority of shows sold-out.
