Australian-born artist Jeremy Harry Harris has traveled halfway around the world for one thing and one thing only! Today in the beautiful surroundings of Italy, the prolific songwriter and performer met with Epictronic label owner Carlo Bellotti to ink a deal destined to change his life forever. Speaking with Harry (as he likes to be known), the excitement on display is infectious and genuine as he described what this partnership with Epictronic means and what’s in store over the next 12 – 18 months.

“This is really something! I mean really, really something!” smiles a delighted Harry. “I’ve been making music for a very long time, funding my albums, self-releasing and never giving up on the dream of being a signed artist. Today that dream came true!”

Signing a worldwide deal with Epictronic to release my new album “Walking With My Darkness” in both physical and digital formats is a reflection of the quality of the music on this album and speaks to the ongoing vision the label has. I’m extremely honored to be invited into such an exclusive club and am grateful for the chance Carlo and Epictronic have offered me”.

When asked what this means, a huge grin breaks across Harry’s face as he tries to contain his excitement. “This deal means so much in so many ways! For starters, I finally have a team behind me that loves my music, treats me like family, and is just as excited as I am to be working together!”
Harry continues, “There are so many ‘labels’ out there that promise the world and then fail to deliver. With Epictronic you get what they’ve promised and more! This deal today will see us partner up for 6 single releases plus the full-length album over the next 12 months in addition to an option for another album which is already in the works”. “Being able to sit down with the Epictronic team to discuss in detail the release plan and the support they’re giving has just been incredible! So much support, so much passion and so many of the little things identified that I would never have thought of without Carlo and his team”.

“Walking With My Darkness” will be officially released worldwide Friday 16th February 2024 physically through Epictronic, Misra, Redeye Worldwide & Disc Union (Japan), with initial singles (drawn from the album) “Flatline D.O.A”, “Haunted” and “Tell Me It Ain’t True” all set to drop throughout the remainder of 2023 digitally via The Orchard Sony.

“Walking With My Darkness” cover and tracklist:

  1. The Falling
  2. Shout Down The Silence
  3. Dead Weight
  4. No One Gets Out
  5. Flatline D.O.A.
  6. Tell Me It Ain’t True
  7. No Coming Back
  8. Paralysed
  9. Haunted
  10. Walking With My Darkness
  11. The Memory Lingers

In anticipation of the album release, Jeremy Harry Harris is proud to unveil his emotionally charged first single and music video, “Flatline D.O.A.”

“Flatline D.O.A” is the first single of Jeremy Harry Harris highly-anticipated second album, “Walking With My Darkness” due for release via Epictronic.

Everything you love gets thrown away.
The stark, shocking, and sometimes still unbelievable realization that death strips everything from the ones still living, leaving only ambiguity in the place of answers.

Stream and buy the single at https://orcd.co/flatlinedoa

Flatline D.O.A, a thought-provoking track, delves into the stark reality of death, stripping everything from the living, leaving only grief, isolation, and ambiguity in its wake. Through carefully crafted scenes, the music video explores themes of love, loss, betrayal, and impending grief, offering an unflinching glimpse into the complexities of confronting death and loss.

As Track 5 of the concept album ‘Walking With My Darkness,’ Flatline D.O.A connects with its predecessor, Track 4, acknowledging that “No One Gets Out” alive, revealing the inevitable consequences that follow such an occurrence.

Recorded at RMR Studios Cuba and Scudley Studios in Perth, Flatline D.O.A encapsulates the emotional journey of facing mortality, drawing viewers into its poignant narrative despite their own inner uncertainties.

To date “Flatline D.O.A” has taken home eleven (11) International Film Festival Awards, Nominations, and Listings.

The music video was filmed at various locations around Western Australia by producer Peter Renzullo, known for his work on Harris’ award-winning 2020 single “Shout Down The Silence.”

KICK AXE Guitarist Recalls the Time the Band Was Asked to Write Songs for Black Sabbath

Posted by tarjavirmakari on August 26, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Kick Axe, The Metal Voice. Leave a comment

Canada’s The Metal Voice recently spoke to Kick Axe co-founder and guitarist Larry Gillstrom about the bands new album, upcoming tour, the bands legacy and how the band was asked to write for other metal bands in the 80’s such as Black Sabbath.

Larry Gillstrom explained to The Metal Voice how the band was asked to write for Black Sabbath during the Gillan era he said,” while we were doing ‘Vices album’ we got the keys to the studio to go in and record some songs that were supposed to go to Black Sabbath with Ian Gillen singing. That was kind of what was going on at the time. Spencer (Proffer) was going to be involved with that and he needed some songs and he asked us to try to write some. So we went into the studio with Hans who was the the second engineer on our Vices album. We were just on our own and we we put together four songs and two of them were songs we wanted to actually do on our second album if they didn’t get picked up by Black Sabbath. And they didn’t get picked up because the whole Ian Gillen, Black Sabbath kind of didn’t work the way Spencer wanted it to work. So we wrote the song ‘Hunger’, Piece of The Rock and two other songs ‘Running Wild in the streets’ and another song that really wasn’t worth mentioning. But those three songs are all recorded. We did eventually release Hunger and ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stand on our way’ which is a song we recorded with Randy Bishops. But ‘hunger’ and ‘Piece of the rock’ we thought they’d be on our second album but when I went to LA and talked to Spencer he said no they’re already on King Kobra’s album so….”

TILL THE DIRT Release Lyric Video ‘Privilege’, Debut Album Out Now

Extreme-progressive metal band TILL THE DIRT has released their debut album, Outside The Spiral, today with Nuclear Blast Records. 

Spearheaded by influential metal legend Kelly Shaefer (ATHEIST), the newly formed group has defied the confines of death metal with a massively heavy sound influenced by the juxtaposing styles of grunge, black metal, jazz, rock, dark wave and even classic pop. Shaefer’s unique take on the music swayed legendary death metal producer Scott Burns (DEATH, CANNIBAL CORPSE, DEICIDE) out of retirement to work on the record with mixing and mastering by Ryan Vincent at Apollo Alternative. The result is an eclectic, progressive outlier record that takes listeners on an insane journey outside the norms of traditional metal.

Today, the band has also debuted a lyric video for the song ‘Privilege,’ which features metal luminary Jeff Loomis (ARCH ENEMY, ex-NEVERMORE). Watch the lyric video here:

Commenting on ‘Privilege,’ Shaefer says: 
“I couldn’t be more excited to unleash the 3rd single from ‘Outside the Spiral.’ This track is probably the closest to the template of what I’m most proud of about this album. And lyrically, it is a bit of a tribute to the very ‘Privilege’ of just breathing each new day as it comes. I’m excited for the world to hear the complete album! It’s at minimum a new frontier.”

CARNIFEX Release Visualizer for Second Single ‘Death’s Forgotten Children’

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Carnifex. Leave a comment

Nourished by nightmares and the throbbing pulse of pragmatic terror, CARNIFEX have returned with their ninth full-length studio album, Necromanteum, out October 6th via Nuclear Blast Records. After existing as a band for over 18 years, CARNIFEX continue to experiment with fresh song arrangements, and adding a unique sense of atmosphere to their inherently deathcore foundation.

The band offers fans the next single from the album entitled, ‘Death’s Forgotten Children’ which features Tom Barber of CHELSEA GRIN. Lyrically the song was inspired by near-death experiences that Scott and Tom have lived through. 

CARNIFEX’s Scott Ian Lewis comments, “I really had a great time working with Tom. Not only did we collaborate on the vocal patterns but we co-wrote the lyrics, which is something I’ve never done before. The song came out great and we both hope the fans love it as much as we do.” 

Stream the new single ‘Death’s Forgotten Children’ featuring Tom Barber (CHELSEA GRIN) here: https://carnifex.bfan.link/deaths-forgotten-children

Watch the video visualizer for ‘Death’s Forgotten Children’ featuring Tom Barber (CHELSEA GRIN) here:

The recording process took place over the course of several weeks with producer Jason Suecof in Florida, and saw the return of live drums since COVID-19 restrictions made doing so on Graveside Confessions impossible. Mastered by Mark Lewis in Nashville, TN, the album was also co-produced by vocalist Scott Ian Lewis and drummer Shawn Cameron. The cover artwork glows with an emerald and lavender fog; a ghostly energy erupting from the depths of a cemetery. Designed by renowned comic book artist E.M. Gist, this gateway represents the questions we ask about what lies on the other side of reality. 

Decades ago, wealthy intellectuals began installing psychomanteum in their homes; a secret room completely filled with mirrors, or a single mirror, and in complete darkness, in order to speak to the dead in other dimensions, and gain their knowledge. It was often used as a healing tool to help dissolve grief or considered a form of prophecy. Necromanteum presents the concept: what if you could use that kind of room to speak with death, itself? What secrets of the world could you uncover from a direct conversation with the grim reaper? Not a monster, but a fellow intellect.
