TESTAROSSA have released their new single + video ‘World’s Greatest Lover’.
“World’s Greatest Lover” is very much autobiographical and certainly not sarcastic at all. The song highlights the experiences of being better at making love than anyone else on the planet. The opening riff of the song is just as sexy as the individual that the song is about, which coincidentally happens to be the entire band. If you’ll just let us slide into your ear hole, you’ll understand.”‘ – Testarossa
Joe & Shaun from JP Audio Labs make the song sound incredible, however, this is a song that must be experienced live. To encounter the world’s greatest lover is not something you simply do while staying home.
Testarossa is the lifeblood of the rock n roll party. The soundtrack for having a good time, all the time. And no one does it better than Testarossa. From being the World’s Greatest Lover to your Mother’s favorite lover, Testarossa is sure to entertain the ones in our lives who mean the most: YOU! Testarossa is not simply another rock and roll band, they are THE rock and roll band you must experience with your own eyes and ears.
These four gentlelads that make up the band have been predestined by the grace of the rock and roll gods to have been brought together to make the quintessential soundtrack for the rock and roll party, which can never end so long as YOU don’t stop the groove from getting on the move. Unparalleled in their energetic live performances, Testarossa is certain to keep you entertained and of course, keep you loose as life can make one… uptight.

Brucia Records is proud to present HEGEMONE‘s highly anticipated third album, “Voyance“, on digipak CD and digital formats. The album will be released on September 15th 2022.
The new single “Inference” is now premiering at No Clean Singing. Stream it at THIS LOCATION.
The first single “Odium” was premiered at IDIOTEQ, check it outHERE.
After releasing 2 previous LPs, HEGEMONE are back with an incredibly ambitious work, shaping their already bleak and oppressive sound into something even more grandiose, desperate and terrifying.
“Voyance” is an incredibly inspired album, conjuring suffering and a sense of calamity by carefully combining gloomy and gelid Black Metal with the savagery of hardcore and the heaviness of sludge: Folk instruments, electronic frequencies and freezingly cold riffs are all placed inside a massively dissonant wall of sound, creating a truly unique sonic nightmare.
A titanically heavy album, building a monumental and uncompromising architecture of rage, tension, disquiet and pain.

St. Petersburg. Russia’s SHINAI was formed after Evgeniy Bolshakov’s previous band broke up. Looking to have full creative control and drive the direction of his endeavors, he started a new solo project last year and is now ready to show off the fruits of his labor.
Inspired by bands like Architects, Wage War, and Bleed from Within, Bolshakov initially started writing only technical deathcore, but with experience and after studying musical theory he started paying more attention to the harmonies, which opened his mind to other genres such as indie rock and pop. Taking inspiration from those, and refusing to settle into a single genre he creates a sincere sound that will pique the interest of both casual listeners and heavy music veterans. He shares his thoughts on the debut album “Here and Now”:
“In the music, I tried to convey the mood of furious forward motion. It’s a very energetic and daring composition with really strong melodic moves. The idea that I wanted to convey with the lyrics: Try to achieve everything yourself, don’t wait for someone to pull you out of the darkness. Have a goal, evolve and let unnecessary people go. Don’t let yourself be used.”
Throughout 2021, he released the title track “Here And Now” and single “Leap of Faith” as music videos leading up to the release of the debut full-length. This follow up single “Starlight” is a glimpse of what is to come, there are more songs in the works.
Bolshakov has high expectations for this new offering, which he thinks will be appreciated by a diverse group of listeners, especially the chorus and solo. He has been working on this for almost a year, composed entirely on his own, complemented with electronic and cinematic effects and wrapped up with heartfelt lyrics.
Technical, and progressive, Shinai is recommended listening for fans of Bleed From Within, Wage War and Polaris.
“Starlight” can be heard via its music video premiere on TheCirclePit.
About: One-man band project “Shinai” was created in August 2021 by Evgeny Bolshakov from St. Petersburg, Russia. Evgeny was known for his Deathcore project “Bite The Goat” where he took part as a composer, guitarist and backing vocalist. At that time Evgeny had written 8 tracks for the album, which never saw the light in Bite the Goat’s creativity because of the collective breakup. That’s why he decided to create his own project and released an album consisting of these songs. That’s how the history of the Shinai project started.
The album was called “Here and Now”, the recording of which involved the not unknown OUTCAST vocalist Igor Kapranov, as well as a guest vocalist Asya Zelenaya. The album received a lot of positive feedback from heavy music fans and was the beginning of determining the musical direction of the project. Also 3 music videos were released for the album. At the moment new single “Starlight” is being prepared for release August 2022, which took more than half a year to prepare. This single is the end of the past and a push towards a new future. There will also be a music video to accompany the single.

“There was one day when I was playing along with the Deuce album which was a complete turning point for me as a guitar player.” – Johnny Marr
Released in November 1971, just six months after his eponymous solo debut, Rory Gallagher’s second album, Deuce, was the summation of all that he’d promised in the wake of Taste’s collapse. Rory wanted to capture the feeling of a live performance, so he would look to record immediately after live concerts while keeping production to a minimum.
He chose Tangerine Studios, a small reggae studio, in Dalston in East London, due it’s history with legendary producer Joe Meek. With Gerry McAvoy on bass guitar and Wilgar Campbell on drums, the album was engineered by Robin Sylvester and produced by Rory. Deuce features many Rory highlights, from the blistering Crest Of A Wave to the Celtic-infused I’m Not Awake Yet.
