MESSER, the dynamic rock band known for their evocative melodies and powerful anthems, has launched their latest single titled “Throw it Away.” Available now on all major music platforms, this heartfelt track is set to be featured on the upcoming MESSER Deluxe Dolby Edition Album, slated for release on March 29, 2024, in Dolby Atmos along with bonus tracks.

In conjunction with the single’s debut, MESSER has released the music video, also in Dolby Atmos, offering fans a visually compelling accompaniment that enhances the song’s emotional resonance. The music video was filmed, edited and directed by Maddox Messer.

“Throw it Away” Out Now on all major platforms!

Bassist, Maddox Messer, shared insights into the inspiration behind the song:
“‘Throw It Away’ is about learning a lesson through loss. It’s a cautionary tale about watching somebody surrender or give in to fear and societal pressures, forfeiting their chance of happiness and success. The lyrics, “I can’t believe you threw it away,” echo the sorrow and disbelief that comes from watching somebody give up to doubt and fear. Ultimately, the song teaches us the most vital lesson of all. – Never give in to fear and hold fast to your dreams. It’s never too late. Don’t Throw It Away.”

In addition, MESSER will be touring alongside Through Fire and Keith Wallen this spring on the ‘Spring Breakout Tour.’ The tour kicks off on April 25th in Bloomington, IL at Castle Theatre.

MESSER’S ability to encapsulate raw emotion within their music has resonated with audiences, making their releases highly anticipated events. The band’s commitment to authenticity and relatable storytelling continues to solidify their place within the rock music landscape.

Cloud Sculptors, the debut album of experimental Oslo based rock-quintet Full Earth, is out today on Stickman Records! Available on double clear LP (including download) and CD, you can order your album copy at https://www.stickman-records.com/shop/full-earth-cloud-sculptors/

Full Earth is the latest psychedelic wunderkind from the far north.

In support of Cloud Sculptors, Full Earth has announced an extensive European tour to kick off in April, find all upcoming live dates listed below!

Stream the album title track here:

Full Earth creates entrancing organ and synth-laden soundscapes anchored by tight rhythmic grooves. As arpeggiated keys pass and interlock with one another, a compelling and hypnotic picture reveals itself to the listener gradually. With a deep connection and love for minimalist music, heavy stoner rock ala Sleep, High on Fire and Elder and the electronic avant-garde, the Full Earth– sphere circles in on fuzzed out riffs, sonic experimentalism and noise music. Broadly speaking, Full Earth is equal parts heavy progressive rock and experimental music. Cloud Sculptors is a monumental album running 80+ minutes in which the band explores every facet of their musical interests: massive riffs, intricate and driving rhythms, swirling organs and ambient passages.

Full Earth is:
Øystein Aadland – farfisa organ, yamaha yc30 organ, mellotron, synthesizer
Ask Vatn Strøm – guitars
Simen Wie – electric bass, additional guitar
Eskild Myrvoll – additional guitar, korg MS-20 synthesizer, noise

ROSSOMETILE to Release Seventh Album “Gehenna” on May 10th, First Single ‘Sangue e Seduzione’ Revealed

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 17, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: ROSSOMETILE. Leave a comment

Italian symphonic metal band ROSSOMETILE have announced their seventh album, “Gehenna”, which has been slated for release on May 10th 2024.

Since their inception, ROSSOMETILE has become one of the most dynamic and prolific bands in the contemporary Italian metal scene.

The album’s first single, “Sangue e Seduzione“, is now available HERE.

The band commented:

“’Sangue e Seduzione’ (Blood and Seduction) is the first single from our new album, marking a new chapter for the band. It’s a track that represents a stylistic turning point from the past, featuring more dynamic arrangements with orchestrations making room for electronic elements. This song also introduces the theme of the new album, which revolves around torment and is developed differently in each track. In ‘Sangue e Seduzione’ the scenario is the desire for possession, both physical and mental, and the craving that turns into torment and degenerates into violence”.

“Gehenna” tracklist:

01. Gehenna
02. Voci Dal Deserto
03. Magdalena
04. Pasionaria (Frida)
05. Sangue e Seduzione
06. La Rosa d’Inverno
07. Dat Melti Min Modir
08. Valhalla
09. Stella del Mattino
10. Geminus
11. Duet With Satan
12. The Dying Mermaid

With a haunting blend of symphonic melodies, gothic undertones, and powerful operatic vocals, the Italian gothic/symphonic metal ensemble ROSSOMETILE emerges as a formidable force in the realm of dark and atmospheric music. For two decades, this quartet has mesmerized audiences with their unique fusion of symphonic-gothic metal and ancestral influences, crafting a sound that transcends genres and defies convention.

Formed two decades ago in Salerno (Italy) and led by the enchanting vocals of their lyrically gifted frontwoman Ilaria Hela Bernardini with the founder-guitarist Rosario Runes Reina, ROSSOMETILE have meticulously crafted their signature sound, blending symphonic grandeur with the raw power of metal, all while infusing elements of ancestral music for an otherworldly experience. Their lyrics, adorned with poetic nuances, evoke a sense of mystery and introspection, drawing listeners into a realm of profound emotions.

Through cinematic music videos, they breathe life into their music, creating immersive narratives that complement their sonic journey, and further enhancing the atmospheric ambiance of their performances.

With their ethereal soundscapes and captivating presence, ROSSOMETILE continues to enchant audiences, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of gothic and symphonic metal.

In 2024 they have completed their last album named “Gehenna”, recorded by Francesco Tedesco at Studio XXXV. Mixed and mastered by Simone Mularoni (DGM) at Domination Studios.

Line-up:

Ilaria Hela Bernardini: vocals, piano
Rosario Runes Reina: guitars
Pasquale Pat Murino: bass
Gennaro Rino Balletta: drums
