NODE Release Lyric Video for New Single ‘iGod’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on April 19, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

NODE have released the lyric video for their new single ” iGod”.

Recorded at the StreetRec studio in Albese (Co) by Andrea Testori and mixed by Marco Barusso (Lacuna Coil, Cayne, The Price), the song is the first unreleased single with new vocalist Davide ” Dave ” Arri and will kick off a series of releases that the band will periodically release, for the moment only on streaming platforms and available for purchase on their Bandcamp page (https://nodeband.bandcamp.com/) .

The tracks will all be united by a concept devised by bassist Gary D’Eramo, the band’s founder.

These are his words: “iGod is the beginning of a journey of music and reflection born out of my in-depth and personal analysis of the world and society’ in which we live in this 21st century. Each song will deal with a theme related to the progressive involution that the human being is experiencing, a cultural involution, of personality, of the environment that surrounds him, of all those values that progress and technology have often crumbled, transforming us from emotionally active beings into cold calculating machines devoid of feeling and empathy.

In particular, iGod recounts the narcissistic nature that has been violently injected into man’s unconscious sphere by the media and social networks, isolating him, annihilating confrontation and the mutual desire to improve, favouring instead a pathetic self-celebration of oneself and one’s own reasons, leading man to shut himself up in an isolation in which he sees only and exclusively himself as the only being and at the same time as the superior entity of this fictitious universe of his, continually creating and disguising himself according to his needs with the sole purpose of pleasing and seeking approval at all costs. “

The Lyric video was made by Davide Billia drummer of Antropofagus, Vomit the soul, while the Artwork of the video and the cover of the single was made by Paolo Puppo guitarist of Will O Wisp , author also of the recent Sadist artworks.

Node will be on stage at the Slaughter Club in Paderno Dugnano (MI) together with Sinister, Crowdead, Rawfoil, Sluggore and Disciplina as part of the WFR Fest on Sunday 30 April, where they will present a live preview of other unreleased tracks that will make up the concept.

The Return Of EMERSON LAKE & PALMER 2023 Summer Tour Announced

Sole surviving member Carl Palmer, in association with the Estates of his bandmates Keith Emerson & Greg Lake, has announced the much anticipated  THE RETURN OF EMERSON LAKE &  PALMER 2023 Summer Tour.  Launching its 2nd US tour in July, the tour will actually again reunite ELP LIVE ON STAGE through modern technology. 

Here is what music fans can expect:

TICKETS FOR ALL SHOWS ON SALE NOW HERE!

The tour continues the successful run of show which began in November and December 2022. After exploring the idea of a Hologram tour in detail, Palmer (with the Estates of Emerson and Lake) opted for what they felt was a more honest approach using live footage of Keith and Greg on massive video walls alongside  Carl (and his band) playing LIVE on stage. The voice and instrumentation of Greg Lake and the unmistakable keyboard mastery of Keith Emerson will be mixed with Palmer’s onstage live drumming to magically reunite ELP once again. 

Emerson and Lake passed away nine months apart in 2016, leaving Palmer to carry on the band’s enormous musical legacy.
 
“The film ELP made of its sold out run at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 1992 had everything we needed to make these tours happen.  We were able to use just the camera shots of Keith and Greg, with the sterling audio tracks of their performances resulting in a combination of film and onstage performance of my band that brings back the magic of ELP.” 

HERE IS  HOW THE SHOW WAS CREATED AND BUILT
WELCOME BACK- THE RETURN OF ELP OFFICIAL VIDEO

After establishing themselves in bands such as The Nice, King Crimson, and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, ELP was formed in early 1970 as one of rock’s first (and biggest) supergroups. With record sales of over 50 million and decades of sold out tours through the 1970s and again in the 1990s, Emerson Lake & Palmer has remained one of the best-selling classic rock bands of all time. The band’s complete recorded catalog, now under the direction and distribution of BMG MUSIC, continues to be a steady force on the international music scene. The tour will coincide with the new BMG box set of classic ELP hit singles pressed on vinyl with reproductions of the original picture sleeves.
 
The tour is being launched with the full approval of  the Emerson and Lake Estates, as well as the various managers who have represented the members of the band.  WELCOME BACK MY FRIENDS- THE RETURN OF EMERSON LAKE & PALMER will be focused on the US and Canada through the rest of 2023, and eventually play all over the world where ELP toured throughout its career.

Despite Nashville’s reputation for assembly-line pop country, the town called Music City is a place of deep history, where brilliant songwriters and virtuoso session players keep dozens of musical legacies burning bright. Nashville’s preeminent fuzz-psych power trio HOWLING GIANT live in the pocket of that lineage.

HOWLING GIANT formed nearly ten years ago with the union of guitarist and singer Tom Polzine, drummer and vocalist Zach Wheeler, and bassist and vocalist Roger Marks. From day one, the trio locked into a musical groove of thunderous metal, proggy acrobatics, psychedelic flourishes and soaring melodic vocals, telling stories of fantasy and adventure with such sheer force of will that they seemed capable of opening a window to other dimensions.

Their early years saw a flurry of recorded activity, with an acclaimed self-titled EP in 2015 and an audacious concept piece split across two EPs, “Black Hole Space Wizard Part 1”, released in 2016 and a year later “Black Hole Space Wizard Part 2”.

Soon, HOWLING GIANT set out to bring their arena-sized energy to the people with the hunger of true road dogs. Throughout 2017 and 2018, they crisscrossed the United States, pouring out heart and soul (and sweat) while flying the flag of emotive, intricate heavy rock and roll.  This tireless energy eventually brought them to such prominent festival stages as Psycho Las Vegas in 2018 and both SXSW and Psycho Smokeout in 2019. Around this time, Marks left the band and Howling Giant achieved its current form with the addition of bass player and vocalist Sebastian Baltes.

In early 2019, HOWLING GIANT released their debut full-length “The Space Between Worlds”, an album which saw the band channel the bristling electricity of their live sound and push further into both cosmic drift and punishing heaviness.

With activities locked down globally, HOWLING GIANT focused on recording their sophomore full-length, which is scheduled for release in autumn 2023. Ahead of this, though, the band embraced the opportunity to road-test the new tunes and share them with heavy rock fans everywhere as direct support on a far-reaching North American tour with ELDER and labelmates RUBY THE HATCHET, along with confirming a slot on the illustrious Desertfest in Belgium later in the year. As an enticing taste of things to come, HOWLING GIANT release the digital single ‘Sunken City’ from the upcoming album before hitting the road.

Line-up
Tom Polzine – guitar, vocals
Zach Wheeler – drums, vocals
Sebastian Baltes – bass, vocals

Danish Experimental / Dark Ambient Artist MOUTH WOUND to Release New Album “Nothing Will Belong To Us”

Posted by tarjavirmakari on April 19, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

“Nothing Will Belong To Us” is the fIrst on-label album by Danish Experimental / Dark Ambient artist and multi-instrumentalist Trine Paaschburg a.k.a. MOUTH WOUND.

The album will be released on April 27th 2023 on digital and a limited tape edition via Brucia Records.

“Nothing Will Belong To Us” sees Trine expanding upon those elements that have become a trademark of her unique approach to music and experimentation, here combining the use and manipulation of analogue noise oscillators, acoustic drone, mangled violin and her heartbreaking voice with recordings based on her improvised live material accumulated over the past 2 years.

An album that is made of the very same substance of dreams and nightmares combined: a visceral release, so bodily and ethereal at the same time, balancing moments of deep melancholy with abrupt and brutal climaxes in which the peace is mauled by a cacophony of noise and guttural screams.

Simultaneously, the lyrical context of physical/existential malaise and the search for tranquil that characterized her whole production has also gained more depth and sadness, and a profound sense of inevitability in expressing such an instinctual and emotional desire to fInd meaning through a persevering feeling of emptiness, knowing all too well that that goalpost is and will always be there, and yet it will also never stop moving.

Both meditative and masochistic, “Nothing Will Belong To Us” is a refreshingly honest and scarily brutal take on experimental music: multi-layered and minimalistic at the same time, it evokes a soul crushing poetry that is truly unique to the phenomenal art of Mouth Wound.

FFO: Lingua Ignota, Diamanda Galas, Pharmakon, Hillary Woods

Album tracklist:

1 Burrowing (4:15)
2 Primordial Satisfaction (4:56)
3 Dummy Foal (4:02)
4 You Won’t Let Leaving Come Between Us (4:06)
5 She Wants You Motherless (5:40)
6 Is It All (3:26)
7 Esophagus (2:37)
8 Alike Alive (5:22)
9 It Surrounds You Like A Child (8:02)

MOUTH WOUND is a solo project from Denmark. The project was created in 2013 by multi-instrumentalist Trine Paaschburg.

She utilizes noise, textured soundscapes with repetitive heavy elements and draws in acoustic drone sampling with expanded vocal techniques. The music deals with themes such as physical/existential malaise and the search for tranquility.

From the frst EP recorded in 2013 and self released in the same year, Trine has in time released one album and two more EPs, gradually shaping her own very unique style, described as alluringly meditative yet masochistic – especially when experienced live.
