The musically eclectic composer and guitarist, Thomas Polychuck – who is best known as simply Polychuck – released last Friday, June 7th his latest offering, a single entitled “The Cyclone.” 

This progressive rock track, infused with a fusion rock flavor, features legendary drummer Simon Phillips and acclaimed keyboardist Derek Sherinian.

“The Cyclone” showcases Polychuck’s exceptional guitar work, dynamic rhythms, and powerful melodies. The collaboration with Phillips (known for his work with Toto and Jeff Beck) and Sherinian (former Dream Theater keyboardist) adds an extraordinary dimension to the track. 
 
“I am incredibly excited to share ‘The Cyclone’ with the world,” said Polychuck. “Working with Simon and Derek has been an absolute honor. Their contributions have brought a new level of energy and passion to the song.”

A great guitar shredder since the age of only 13, Polychuck is now an innovative and ever-maturing singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and high profile guitar coach who’s ready to take the rock world by storm. And “The Cyclone” showcases Polychuck’s talents even further.

THE CHRONICLES OF MANIMAL AND SAMARA (TCOMAS) announce the release of their brand new single, ‘Feed the Beast’.

‘Feed the Beast’ is a song about addiction and recovery.
It dives into the tumultuous inner journey of learning how to live all over again.

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.

TCOMAS’s sophomore album, Trust No Leaders, released on July 1, 2022, explores the history of metal, paying tribute to various subgenres. Set against orchestral and cinematic landscapes, the songs also incorporate non-Western musical influences. The lyrics draw inspiration from contemporary and classical poetry, as well as Jungian psychology.

In 2024, TCOMAS released “Mysterium Tremendum” – a fusion of classical orchestration, poetry, and death metal.

Following on from the release of first singles from the upcoming New Horizons album- “Treading Water”, “All Changed” and “First Light”, The Nomadic has released three new singles: “Don’t Give Up on Your Dreams”, “Hearts and Minds” and “Revolution”.

Singer Songwriter Rob Gaylard relocated home to Sydney Australia in February 2022 after 5 years as a regular feature of the New York City indie rock scene and recorded New Horizons with Dan Frizza in Sydney at Forbes Studios.

The Nomadic is the best of Aussie rock talent, with Miles Thomas (Lior, Ronan Keating, Montaigne) on drums, Oliver Thorpe (The Whitlams, Matt Corby, Meg Mac) on guitar, and Brendan Clark (Meg Mac, Montaigne, Jack River) on bass. Dan Frizza as producer lends the kind of magic touch that has seen him enrich the work of the likes of Tones & I, King Princess, and Gurrumul.

About the new releases, singer songwriter Rob explains “We are now into the ‘rockier’ side of our New Horizons album, which is a 14 track album to be released mid year. ‘Don’t Give Up on Your Dreams’ is both introspective and empowering, and is really a call to arms for everyone to live their best lives! ‘Hearts and Minds’ is inspired by my time working with the UN in Afghanistan, in the middle of a war for the hearts and minds of the local population. ‘Revolution’ is all about the massive life changes and revolutions that happen in our lives at the individual, community, national and global levels! As the chorus line goes- it is never too late to start a revolution!”

“Dont Give Up on Your Dreams” on Spotify

“Hearts and Minds” on Spotify

“Revolution!” on Spotify

Australian guitarist and singer/songwriter Robert Gaylard brings a unique perspective and vision when it comes to creating music. His inspiration and passion for starting The Nomadic began early on as a child after traveling to many countries like Myanmar (formerly Burma), Singapore and the Solomon Islands. His “nomadic” lifestyle continued on into his adulthood when he began to work for the United Nations in various countries such as: Kenya, Somalia, the Sudan, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Israel and Palestine. His travels eventually brought him to New York in September of 2012 and motivated him to pursue his songwriting by establishing an indie rock band.

Influenced by artists like Oasis, Radiohead, The Verve, Bruce Springsteen, Phosphorescent, The War on Drugs, Arizona and The 1975, The Nomadic produces a sound genre like no other as alternative rock meets blues with hints of Americana and pop.

Having been originally influenced by numerous cultures and ways of life, The Nomadic promotes and advocates for issues of social action and innovation, human rights, support for minorities, as well as doing the next right thing, including the idea that it is never too late, including for people to follow their dreams and passions.

The Nomadic is:
Rob Gaylard/Singer songwriter
Dan Frizza/ producer/ keyboards
Miles Thomas/ Drums
Oli Thorpe/ lead guitar
Brendan Clark/ Bass

BRAINSORE to Release Debut Album “The Grip of the Naked Mind” on August 2nd

Time To Kill Records is proud to present BRAINSORE’s debut album, “The Grip of the Naked Mind”, on CD and digital formats. The album will be released on August 2nd 2024.

The first single “In Life Is Coils” is now streaming at THIS LOCATION.

“Here the lyrical concept is the volcanic and somehow deranged depiction of life as an hardship itself, a pinnacle of traumas. Like most of my lyrics it’s visionary, abstract, misty and unclear. The lyric title says it all: in life is coils”.

When merited veterans of the Italian death metal and grindcore scenes conspire to breathe life into a new entity, you know you are in for a real treat.

Founded in Modena by drummer Don Gulag and guitarist Holy Father in spring 2022, the duo eventually recruited vocalist Horcrux Urethra (ex-Jesus Ain’t In Poland) and started focusing on songwriting and live activity, storming the stages all over northern Italy.

BRAINSORE
 find themselves on the crossroad between grind, death metal, hardcore and general hysteria. With no compromises or no rules, the band push the boundaries for an intense and chaotic soundscape without losing their love for groove and subtle melodies.

Expertly wielding the fierce brutality and massive aggression of their genre, the Italians add intelligent songwriting, effective arrangements, and musical proficiency as well as unexpected elements to their sound. 

Tracklist:

01. The Stinking Sinister
02. Sons Of Seznec
03. Harvest Red
04. In Life Is Coils
05. The Mangrove Diaries
06. The Amen Corner
07. When Hunger Saves
08. Mount Ashes
09. The Harder We Fall
10. Shrieks From Above
11. Adult Male
12. Beyond Recognition

Preorders:

  • https://timetokillrecords.com/collections/brainsore

Line-up:

Singer-songwriter and guitarist Quinn Sullivan has released ‘Salvation,’ his deeply personal and musically expansive new studio album, out today via Provogue/Mascot Label Group. Cementing his evolution as an artist, Quinn is celebrating the release with a lyric video for “Once Upon A Lie,” a breezy number that Quinn has called his favorite on the album. “I’ve had this song for 6 years but just never finished it until now,” Quinn shares. “Turn it up!”
 
Following the album’s previous single “Rise Up Children,” which invited listeners to connect through the universal language of music, “Once Upon A Lie” is the latest in a series of recent releases from Quinn that have showcased his deepening artistry and emotional range. On the deeply personal “Half My Heart,” Quinn delves into the profound pain of separation, capturing the sorrow of a romantic relationship that has recently ended. On “Dark Love,” he explores the complex dynamics of a toxic relationship. And on the album’s title track, “Salvation (Make Me Wanna Pray),” he uses B3 organ and wah-wah pedal to merge classic rock and soul with contemporary flair.

Quinn’s journey in music has been marked by a steady progression and a deepening of his artistic expression. Known for his exceptional guitar talent from a young age, Sullivan has earned acclaim for his performances and collaborations with some of the biggest names in music. His previous album, ‘Wide Awake,’ showcased his ability to blend his musical influences and skills in a way that pushed his creative boundaries. The album was well-received, highlighting Quinn’s capacity for storytelling and musical exploration.

Since ‘Wide Awake,’ Quinn has continued to evolve, taking his music on the road and gathering new experiences that inform his work. His recent involvement with the new ensemble Trouble No More, sanctioned by the Allman Brothers Band to carry on their live-performance legacy and introduce their music to a new generation, has further enriched his sonic palette. This collaboration infuses his work with a taste of the timeless soul and depth of classic rock.

Quinn is currently on a nationwide tour to support his new album, performing at various venues across the US, including intimate music rooms and the renowned City Winery locations. The release of ‘Salvation’ follows Quinn’s notable appearance at Panic en la Playa, where he performed with Trouble No More and guest starred with Eric Krasno and The Main Squeeze.

ERNTE Release + Stream Third Full-Length Album “Weltenzerstörer”

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 10, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: ERNTE. Leave a comment

Swiss black metal duo ERNTE has released the band’s third full-length record, entitled “Weltenzerstörer”, which is out now on Vendetta Records. 

Following the band’s previous two albums (“Geist und Hexerei” / “Albsegen”), “Weltenzerstörer” represents a further development of ERNTE‘s earlier work, emphasizing its melodic and atmospheric elements while remaining true to its black metal origins.

ERNTE about their new album, its aesthetics and meaning:
“The cover was created by a graphic designer we came across on social media. His image immediately appealed to us and, in our eyes, fits the album title perfectly: Next to the sea monster, the ‘world destroyer’, the few humans seem tiny and almost disappear. This world destroyer is also conjured up in a satanic ritual in the form of Leviathan in our first single/video ‘Ruler of Chaos, Bringer of Storm’, for example. 

But Weltenzerstörer (‘world destroyer’) doesn’t just mean the destruction of our earth – the plural ‘worlds’ is a deliberate choice. The world of sick thoughts. The world of false feelings. The world of consumption, or the world of manipulation. The world of religions, which we all deeply despise. 

Weltenzerstörer is not a concept album, yet it can be said in general that the lyrics on the album embody a misanthropic attitude. It is about consciously chosen loneliness and the search for a higher meaning. But it is also an invocation of ancient powers and spirits in order to create new ones with the destruction of today’s sick world(s) and to give nature more space again.“

Tracklist:

  1. The Witch (Was Born in Flames)
  2. Ruler of Chaos, Bringer of Storm
  3. Silent and Bleak
  4. Trip to a Solitary Moon
  5. Vessels of Sacrifice
  6. The Fire Lake: Death of Souls
  7. Profound Eyes

“Weltenzerstörer” was recorded and mixed by ERNTE‘s guitar player & main songwriter Häxär at Inferno Studio, Switzerland. Master by Greg Chandler at Priory Recording Studio, UK. Listen to the full album here:

ERNTE are:
Häxär: guitars, bass, drums
Askahex: vocals, bass, violin
