Eugenio Sambasile is an Italian musician, guitarist, music teacher and composer. He’s the founder and leader of death metal band Embryo. He shared the stage with famous metal artists on countless gigs all across Europe and collaborated with international musicians such as Marty Friedman and George Kollias during several educational events and seminars. His musical interests range from extreme metal to rock, with influences of blues and country music.
Shortly after German post-rock/experimental quintet THERE’S A LIGHT signed a record deal with Napalm Records, the band announced their second album/label debut – f̶o̶r̶ ̶w̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶m̶a̶y̶ ̶I ̶h̶o̶pe̶? for what must we hope?, out December 10, 2021 – and lifted the lid on its first single “Elpis”. Fans of their atmospheric and multilayered post-rock can already take a further glimpse into the soundscapes of fo̶r̶ ̶w̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶m̶a̶y̶ ̶I ̶h̶o̶pe̶? for what must we hope? with the newly released single “Dark Clouds Behind, Bright Skies Ahead”, including a pure music video.
True emotions do not require words. That’s what THERE’S A LIGHT have proven many times, as with new single “Dark Clouds Behind, Bright Skies Ahead”. A fulfilling opening is followed by familiar peaceful guitar melodies and ambient interjections that detach the listener from mundane concerns. Each note drifts weightlessly through the atmosphere before fading into eternity. In addition, the warm cello tunes of passionate guest musician Akito Goto join in, gently embracing the listener in auditory bliss, assuring that everything’s going to be alright. The music video goes hand in hand and tells a profound story with the purest of visual means and brings peace with one’s internal conflicts.
THERE’S A LIGHT on “Dark Clouds Behind, Bright Skies Ahead”: “If you ever experienced this phenomenon in nature, on a hike or wherever you are without shelter from the elements, you will not forget it. It’s a calming and beautiful sight when you see a dark storm front moving away from you while the sun comes out.
For us this is a metaphor – life is a constant flow between ups and downs. But no matter how dark a storm is, there will always be a bright sky ahead. This song tries to capture this motion and feeling. Thank you so much for listening!”

Thematically, on f̶o̶r̶ ̶w̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶m̶a̶y̶ ̶I ̶h̶o̶pe̶? for what must we hope? THERE’S A LIGHT take a deeper look at the question of the true meaning of hope as well as at the different facets of it: On the one hand, hope can be something positive – a flourishing force that always gives a new impulse to grow beyond oneself. On the other hand, it can also do harm, for example, if one holds on to something that will never become reality.
The radiant album opener “...The Storm Will Set The Sails” immediately enchants with its shimmering melody and great arrangements, while the following “Within The Tides” presents a more dramatic, progressive touch with impressive technique and rhythm. The driving “Like The Earth Orbits Sun” is one of the tracks that features bassist Andreas Richau’s captivating, emotional vocals, along with the multi-faceted exclamation point “Elpis” and spherical “Be Brave, Fragile Heart“. “Dark Clouds Behind, Bright Skies Ahead” and “Appearance Of Earth” open up another spectrum of sound and expand the cosmos with the passionate cello playing of guest musician Akito Goto. The grand finale “Even In The Darkest Place…” weaves powerful instrumentation with dreamy moments into a harmonious overall construct, once again underscoring a hypnotic post-rock experience in the style of bands like God Is An Astronaut, Russian Circles and Sigur Ros.
THERE’S A LIGHT on the new album: “So, we asked ourselves what hope stands for and what it means to us. We had a lot of conversations within the band about the good but also the bad aspects of hope and our experiences with it.
And we got answers and inspiration by history and philosophy. Like Kant who has extremely positive views on this topic – hope is necessity for human existence, it’s not seen by him as a personal but collective thing. This is where the album title came from.
The whole process of creating this album really took us on a journey and we found new ways to express our thoughts and feelings with our music. We took a few trips to France and wrote songs together in a cabin, but we also had to write a lot of parts simultaneously, since we are not living in one city any more. We had the chance to work together with new lovely people but we also reconnected with old partners in crime.
All in all it wasn’t an easy journey, but now we made it and are happy and proud to finally release this album with Napalm Records!”

Behemoth mastermind Adam Nergal Darski and his dark folk/blues/Americana influenced solo project ME AND THAT MAN continues its celebrity team-up with the new Western-inspired single “Under the Spell” featuring the mysterious Mary Goore, alongside a captivating music video.
In contrast to the recently published soulful blues-rock ballad “Angel of Light” (ft. Myrkur), ME AND THAT MAN now enters heavier horizons. Dark guitars, a galloping duo of snare and bass and the raspy tingling and well-known voice of featured guest Mary Goore create an ambience full of untamed anger with an unmistakable vintage Western touch.
Nergal about “Under the Spell”: “Here we go folks! We’re back again, this time with “Under The Spell” featuring Mary Goore. It’s rockabilly on steroids – I love the song. It’s a part of ME AND THAT MAN that we hadn’t yet explored in this form. For now, enjoy the single, full album will be with you soon!”

Adam Nergal Darski has signed a menacing pact with the devil once again, returning with dark folk/blues/Americana influenced solo project ME AND THAT MAN’s third full-length studio album, New Man, New Songs, Same Shit, Vol.2, on November 19, 2021 via Napalm Records.
Nergal on the new album: “Here we go again, mother lovers! New Man, New Songs, Same Shit VOLUME 2. You guys know the drill, I recruited the best of the best in heavy music to collaborate on some unique tracks me and the Polish, Italian and Ukrainian crew have been working on over the last 18 months. Once again, the result, amazing and the performances, inspired! Thank you, Comrades – Abbath, Alissa, Amalie, Anders, Blaze, Chris G, Chris H, David, Devin, Douglas, Frank, Gary, Hank, Jeff, Kris, M.Goore, Michale, Ralf and Randy. Who knows when we’ll get together to play these songs but I will try my best to make it happen! Enjoy it everyone!”

Following the chart-topping part one of the album, ME AND THAT MAN now present whole new facets: Opening track “Black Hearse Cadillac”, featuring the vocals of Hank von Hell and guitar sorcery by Anders Odden, marks a sinister beginning to this infernal journey through dark desert soundscapes and evil lyricism. Driving “Under The Spell” (feat. Mary Goore) lives up to its title, at times evoking a spaghetti western-esque ambience. Songs like wicked “Witches Don’t Fall in Love” (feat. Kristoffer Rygg/Ulver), straight-to-the-head rocking “Blues & Cocaine” (feat. Michale Graves) and mysterious “Goodbye” – with a haunting yet powerful vocal attack by Alissa White-Gluz – showcase the record’s extensive variety and that there’s something unexpected lurking all throughout. This is further evident on songs like the soulful blues-rock ballad “Angel of Light” featuring the compelling voice of Myrkur, or insanely dynamic, uptempo outburst of “Got Your Tongue” feat. Chris Georgiadis (Turbowolf).
After the enticing debut Songs of Love And Death (2017), followed by sophomore release New Man, New Songs, Same Shit, Vol.1, its sequel once again mirrors Nergal in a completely different light and provides a tremendous contrast to the extreme metal sounds of Behemoth.
New Man, New Songs, Same Shit, Vol.2 track listing:
Black Hearse Cadillac (feat. Hank Von Hell, Anders Odden)
Under the Spell (feat. Mary Goore)
All Hope Has Gone (feat. Blaze Bayley, Gary Holt, Jeff Mantas Dunn)
Witches Don’t Fall in Love (feat. Kristoffer Rygg)
Losing My Blues (feat. Olve Abbath Eikemo, Frank The Baptist, Chris Holmes)
Coldest Day in Hell (feat Ralf Gyllenhammar, Douglas Blair)
Born from an idea by guitar player Dave Mutti in collaboration with bass player and producer Santo Clemenzi (From The Depth) and drummer Massimo Goletti (ex-Deimos), MINDOHM is a new project that bring together the heavy riffing of modern metal with more progressive and melodic solutions. With the joining of singer and keyboardist Mauro Mugiati (A Lifelong Journey, Banda Belzoni), the project has definitely found its stable line-up.
Started in 2014, the project has been put aside for some years but lately, also because of the pandemic, the production of new songs started again and the debut EP is ready for the release. On the band website you can find a countdown to the first release: first single “The Ohm Law” will be released on December 10th 2021, available for streaming and download. On the same day, the official lyrics video will be available as well. The song will be followed by 2 other singles to be released within the following months and included in the debut EP scheduled for the mid 2022.

THE THREE TREMORS have released their third and final video ‘War of Nations’ for their new album GUARDIANS OF THE VOID.
This song is a tale of the famous Battle of the Bulge which would be the final decisive battle in World War 2 leading to the eventual Allied victory.
Tim said “Every good metal album needs a song like this I think. It has a great hook in the chorus and is a fast mover.”
Sean said “I am a big World War 2 history buff and I love writing songs that educate a little bit and tell the story at the same time. I knew I wanted a song from this era on the record and I had not covered the Battle of the Bulge yet so it was time. Casey “The Sentinel”Trask wrote some sweet riffs and this one came together really quick. I love his lead section in it too might be one of my favorite leads on the record.”
Harry added. “I had a great time recording this one. I think this song really suited my style of vocals well and I think that is why Sean featured me in this one a bit more. It reminded me of Jag Panzer’s The Mission song (The Guns of Navarone).”
This is one of only 3 songs to hit the streaming platforms as they have made it their policy to only release tracks that are music videos to such services as Spotify and focus their efforts on the physical product. Their battle cry is “Support Heavy Metal and buy a piece of the physical product!”
THE THREE TREMORS are currently out on tour in North America try to catch them on their remaining dates and shows.
