Brazilian TUATHA DE DANANN make Metal with influences from Celtic folk music, their biggest inspiration is one of the forerunners of Folk Metal, Skyclad, mainly from the Martin Walkyer’s era, who Tuatha’s founder Bruno Maia considers the best lyricist of the style.
Martin Walkyer and Tuatha de Danann have been maintaining a strong friendship relationship for some years now, including Walkyer coming to Brazil three times already, sharing the stage with the band in a traditional festival in Varginha (MG), Tuatha’s birthplace.
And that partnership didn’t stop there, Walkyer recorded and co-wrote two Tuatha de Danann songs, “Rhymes Against Humanity” and “Your Wall Shall Fall”.
To honor their great influence, the idol who also became a friend and songwriting partner, the band recorded five versions of some of their favorite Skyclad songs. Due to the pandemic, naturally each of the members recorded their parts in their homes, and later the mixing and production was done by Bruno Maia at Braia studios.
This tribute also gave rise to the possibility of a future European tour of this tribute, with the partnership of Tuatha de Danann and Martin Walkyer. It would be an interesting idea, and one that Walkyer and Skyclad fans would certainly appreciate.
Canadian Doom/Punk/Psychedelic band SLOWPOKE release the third single – “Windtalker” from their upcoming self-titled debut album.
Slowpokeadds: “Windtalker is about as pop as we get on this album. The songwriting is a bit closer to a traditional verse-chorus-verse approach which makes it a bit more straightforward than some of our other material. It’s lyrics are derived from a quote by Plato regarding ethics and reputation.”
“Windtalker” is available on all other platforms and can be purchased here.
Canadian Doom/Punk/Psychedelic band Slowpoke are set to release their debut self titled LP August 22nd 2021.

Sacramento, California singer/songwriter MASSIE released her brand new single “Eating Me Alive” that features Shayley Bourget (Dayshell, Of Mice & Men).
“We all have our demons. Everyone is dealing and struggling with one thing or another. Eating Me Alive is a dialogue between a person and the devil on their shoulder. For me, the song represents how social media makes me feel. It can be hurtful, and negative, a let down and a big discouragement but I continue to give into it. Our generation has become a generation of addicts . Addicted to technology and the high from it. We crave attention in new ways that previous generations haven’t. But we aren’t only addicted to technology and social media and attention. We struggle with alcoholism, getting high, adrenaline, living up to beauty standards, fitting in. I think it all causes that thought ‘I hate myself’. We just need to remember that we ARE loved, we ARE wanted, we ARE worth and you are NEVER in this alone”says Massie.
The single was also produced by Shayley Bourget who was quoted as saying, “Working with Massie was a breeze and a breath of fresh air. Although I’m fairly new to this whole producing and writing music for other clients gig, she was a client to remember. Out of all the people I worked with she was by far the most prepared. Being a vocalist myself and understanding how much work goes into being a great singer, she came in and sang like she wanted to be a star. From her pitch to her delivery, near flawless! When a producer is with talent like that the energy and the ideas naturally come to life. That’s where magic begins. She’s got it all. Talent, respect, professionalism, beauty and grace. Everything a person needs to be a star. I expect great things in her future. The sky and beyond is the limit for this young lady.”
Massie is a singer/ songwriter from Sacramento, CA. Hailing from a diverse background of musical endeavors, she is gifted with a wide vocal range, from smooth airy melodies to driving edgy choruses. Since she was 10 years of age, she has been writing her own songs in relation to life events and emotion.
Throughout her music journey she has worked with Thrasher, who has engineered for artists such as, Travis Barker, Machine Gun Kelly, jxdn, and more. In addition to working with Thrasher, she has worked with Earl Cohen, a Grammy award winning producer in New York, Brian Grider and Misha Hercules, based in Los Angeles.
Norwegian progressive metal/rock band VALD HEKS will release their debut EP, entitled “Aether”, on September 17th, on all streaming platforms. Furthermore the band’s first single “Supernova” comes out on August 20th.
VALD HEKS is a new and exciting progmetal/rock band from Tysnes, an island outside of Bergen – Norway. VALD HEKS started out as trio of brothers. Today it consists of the two youngest ones, Emil and Niklas Martila.
VALD HEKS started out back in 2017. With focus on quality, the songs were worked on for a long time. During the pandemic the 2 brothers decided that it is time to show the world what they’ve been working on. The songs were all done in 2020, but they had one obsticle, they had no vocalist. After some time, Emil Martila took upon himself this task. Emil Martila works the drums, guitars and vocals. Niklas Martila on bass. The songs were recorded at Alf Gunnar Wold’s studio GF: U. Now the 1.chapter of VALD HEKS is ready for launch.
About their music: The vision during the writing was to have a broad specter, both depth and diverse. First and foremost the music has to be honest and go new ways. This is very needed in a time that metal becomes more and more alike. Influences are very diverse, but Mastadon, Gojira, Meshuggah and Rush are among favorites.
