‘Rain‘ was the third and last single from CORRODED‘s new album Plague that was released Nov 17th, 2023. The single now get a remix signed dark drum n’ bass producer Zardonic and his friend Andy Malex. CORRODED are no strangers to working with Zardonic, who worked with the band remixing material from their album Defcon Zero back in 2020. The singer/guitarist Jens Westin comment the new single like this: 
– “Rain is like beauty and the beast. On one hand you have these simple yet beautiful vocal parts that almost rock you to sleep like a lullaby, and on the other hand you have a hellhound that will chase you to death. In short it is a song by CORRODED.”

Listen on all major streaming services here

Who is Zardonic?
The clash of disparate elements activates innovation, and every generation brings us timeless figures who accidentally spark a new revolutionary sound within the music world. Chuck Berry mixed jazz, blues, gospel and country music to create Rock N Roll. A few decades later, Ozzy Osbourne turned up the gain to create Heavy Metal. And since the early 2000s, Federico Ágreda Álvarez, the masked performer known to the world as DJ and producer Zardonic, has harnessed the power of the nexus between Drum & Bass and Heavy Metal to create the sound that is now known as Metal & Bass.

Born and raised in Venezuela, inspired by America, and based in Germany with a passport book stamped into oblivion, he also represents a union of cultures. Following a prolific string of releases, remixes for Pop Evil, Fear Factory, Bullet For My Valentine and Sonic Syndicate, video game soundtracks for Superhot: Mind Control Delete and Redout 2, plus features on All Elite Wrestling, TNT and NBC Sports, packed shows on multiple continents, and 100 million-plus streams, he realized the power and potential of his vision like never before on his 2023 full-length offering Superstars [MNRK HEAVY].

“I’m blessed enough to be able to do what I love the most, and that is Music. Music is my own form of self-healing. It allows me to float above the darkness. Maybe, it will do the same for you.”

CORRODED is a heavy metal band from Ånge, Sweden. The break came in 2009 with the song Time And Again and debut album ‘Eleven Shades of Black’. Since then they’ve released four more albums, toured relentlessly (including several European tours, both on their own and as support for bands like Airbourne), had the théme song for the Swedish TV show Survivor (Expedition Robinson in Sweden) and music in the globally popular video game Battlefield. Their latest (5th) album ‘Bitter‘ was released in 2019, was followed by a European tour and ended the year with a slight change in line-up (long time member Tomas Andersson left the band). As for most bands, the pandemic hit hard, but the band dug themselves into a black hole and recorded their sixth album – ‘Plague’. They comment:

”-We’ve got 5 ”children”…each and everyone as much important as the other ones…but this one is our lovechild, our very special ”late bloomer” or ”trailing child”, born out of the anxiety and boredom of the plague…and, except from mastering, all done by ourselves…welcome to the dark soul of CORRODED..enjoy the ride..”

CORRODED‘s new remixed single Rain  (Zardonic & Andy Malex Remix) is released January 26th on Despotz Records, their new album Plague is out now!

Emerging from the depths of Norway’s underground music scene, OBERST is gearing up to their album release with their latest single, “Invisible Hands,” released yesterday, January 25th.

The band offers a some insight about the track, sharing, “As we bite off more than we can chew and choke on our eagerness, we kneel and beg to the invisible hands that seem to keep us down. Maybe this time will be different. Maybe we’ve done enough.”

Listen to the single here: https://orcd.co/invisiblehands

Hailing from Oslo, the quartet’s journey began in 2015 with a self-titled EP, quickly gaining acclaim as some of Norway’s best underground metal. Oberst’s music fuses hardcore, post-metal, and progressive metal, creating a captivating sound with atmospheric riffs and intense vocals. The band has earned praise from critics for their unique and refreshing approach.

With “Invisible Hands”, Oberst sets the stage for their upcoming album, “Toil,” set to release in 2024. The album is a culmination of three years of dedicated effort, and it promises to deliver a fresh and exciting sound that transcends the boundaries of traditional rock and metal.

OBERST:
Tarjei Kristoffersen – Vocals/Guitar
Dennis Estensen – Guitar
Joakim Karlsen – Bass
Johan Fredrik Bolli – Drums

About Oberst:

Hailing from Oslo, Norway, Oberst emerges as a compelling force in the metal scene. The dynamic quartet was bound by a shared passion for music rather than a specific genre, and their sound evolved finding common ground with bands like Mastodon, Baroness, Converge, and Cult of Luna. However, the band’s unique imprint extends beyond these influences, drawing from individual members’ diverse musical backgrounds, spanning classic rock and jazz to modern pop.

The release of their self-titled debut EP in 2015 was met with critical acclaim and praised as «some of the best metal produced in Norway for a long time» -HISSIG. The singles from the 4-track EP got played and recommended on national radio and featured on the acclaimed Norwegian TV series «Unge Lovende».

After the release of their EP, Oberst signed with Indie Recordings, and released the debut album “Paradise” in 2020.

“This opus is a promising start for Oberst”…” showcases their raw, unbridled talent impressively enough.” – Kerrang! Magazine

“OBERST have done wonderfully in placing themselves firmly on the list of bands to watch out for” – Distorted Sound Magazine
