Some bright mind within the STRUCTURAL camp decided to use the lock-down phase of the pandemic to ponder the question: What would Louis Armstrong‘s “What A Wonderful World” sound like, desecrated, broken down and re-structured into progressive, technical death metal?
The result, dear Corona-world, is something like this! “What A Wonderful World” – a bright light in a world, where death, pandemic and global warming-destruction is looming.
Shani Friedman (guitars) on the video:
We wanted to take the time to remind you what a wonderful world we truly have, even if sometimes it looks chaotic, so we present to you today the happiest song we’ve ever played!
STRUCTURAL is right now working on the follow-up to their 2018 amazing album release “Metacognition”, and are set for European touring, as support act for SEMBLANT on the postponed tour, in February 2022.

Finnish poetic core act MARTO have released a lyric video for Solus, which is taken from the upcoming Sine Nomine EP. The video can be viewed via Rockhopper Music YouTube channel HERE.
Hailing from Pori, Finland, Marto was formed at rehearsals by four members of post-metal band atlases (signed to Lifeforce Records) less than a year ago. After spending years playing atmospheric metal, the members decided to do something different and started to create music that blends extreme grindish elements with different shades of metal. Instead of writing about guts and skeletons, which are commonly used in this kind of music, the band decided to use Finnish poetry in their lyrics.
Soon after writing the material to Sine Nomine EP, the band was signed to Rockhopper Music, a label that had been on a hiatus for a decade.
LineUp
Nico Brander – guitar (Atlases)
Ville-Veikko Laaksonen – guitar (Atlases, ex-Oceanwake)
Arttu Leppänen – drums (Atlases)
Jesse Simola – vocals (Atlases)
Ville Vuorinen – bass
Despotz Records is very happy to announce their latest signing with PORT NOIR. The band will release their first track December 3rd ‘All Class‘ from the upcoming album that will be release next year, 2022.
Port Noir is one of those rare bands that, try as you might, are impossible to fit into a neat box. Mixing edgy, contemporary dark pop, R&B, and rock into a sound that is both unique and refreshing. Hailing from Sweden, the band have released three critically acclaimed albums (the brand-new album is imminent) and toured extensively, including support shows with the likes of Karnivool, Leprous, Kaiser Chiefs, In Flames, Vola, Pain of Salvation, as well as prestigious festival appearances including Eurosonic ESNS.
Now, 2021 – Port Noir returns with a glorious slice of progressive dark pop/alt-rock on new single ‘All Class’ taken from their upcoming new album, the band once again push the envelope with a track that blends the electro/rock influences of Enter Shikari with direct pop suss of recent Royal Blood. Driven by a powerful percussive backing, elevated by wonderful vocals and an unforgettable hook, ‘All Class’ is Port Noir 3.0 in technicolour perfection!

PORT NOIR’s previous album (‘The New Routine’) saw a significant increase in listeners/streams, pushing the band’s support of over 7 million streams, as well as garnering fantastic support across the press and radio. They have been reviewed by Distorted Sound Magazine, Lounder Sound, Gaffa, Metal.de, Everything is Noise, Time For Metal, World of Metal to name a few. Like everyone else, everything came to grinding halt with Covid for the band, but, undeterred, they utilized their down time and began working on new songs and new ideas, all which culminated in some of the band’s most diverse, eclectic, and powerful new material to date. As you’ll witness when the new album arrives in 2022.
