THAEIA Release Official Video For ‘Feather’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on April 19, 2021
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: THAEIA. Leave a comment

After their recent comeback with the announcement of a new EP and the great results from the launch of their first single ‘Osservati’, THAEIA raise the bar again with their new video for ‘Feather’. 

As a natural follow up to the concept of their EP ‘Datura Metel’, in ‘Feather‘ you can feel both pain and catharsis: it’s intense stuff, both sonically and in emotional clout. Sometimes emotions can be heavier than any barre chord. The addictive nature of their style, made of powerful guitar-work and airy vocals, will hunt you.

The video is directed by Daniele Zed Berretta, and available here:

The band adds: “We tried to return all the agony contained in “Datura Metel vol.I” in this second single: “Feather”. This is the part of the concept album which describes all the pain we can feel in our solitude, just before becoming aware of our true self. We suffocate in ourselves, in the awareness of being weak and passive towards the world, especially within certain aspects imposed by modern society. We deal with the dark side of our psyche, understanding the fears and weaknesses. We realize our present, past, and future have been decided and built by others. The sudden realization of this generates desperation and, like a punch to your face, a deep desire for redemption and revenge.”

Recorded in Rome by Marco Mantovani at Forward Studio and mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling studios (Korn, Deftones, ecc ecc), the new EP ‘Datura Metel’ is out May 28, 2021.

R.I.P. Lars…

Yesterday, Lars Ranzenberger (aka Lars Ratz) was killed in a tragic accident with his ultralight airplane on Mallorca, Spain. Lars was just 53 years old.

Everyone at Massacre is shocked and mourns the loss of a longtime artist and friend.

Lars and his band METALIUM were one of the senior artists at Massacre Records. The first contract was signed in 1999, and the debut album “Millennium Metal – Chapter One” immediately entered the German charts.

From 2004 to 2006 Lars released the METALIUM albums own his own, but returned to Massacre Records for the sixth album “Nothing To Undo”. This cooperation continued until today.

Since many years, Lars built up a successful career as a businessman in his domicile of choice Mallorca.

Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to Lars’ wife and family during this difficult time!

Lars will never be forgotten.

R.I.P. brother!

CRYSTAL VIPER frontwoman Marta Gabriel has announced the release of “Metal Queens” – debut solo album, which is a collection of cover songs, and a tribute to the female heavy metal and hard rock singers of the ’80s. “It’s a celebration and tribute to some of my favorite female vocalists, and a solid piece of heavy metal that fans might enjoy even if they don’t know original versions of those songs”, says Gabriel. “It’s not a random collection of covers – we made sure that it sounds like one big piece, like a real album, and it has this taking-no-prisoners attitude”, she adds.

The album features Marta Gabriel on vocals and bass guitar, Eric Juris from CRYSTAL VIPER on guitars, and Cederick Forsberg from CRYSTAL VIPER and BLAZON STONE on drums. Except that she invited three special guests: we will hear the JAG PANZER and TITAN FORCE singer Harry Conklin in the CHASTAIN cover “Light In The Dark”, RIOT V singer Todd Michael Hall in the BLACKLACE cover “Call Of The Wild”, while the RAVEN bassist John Gallagher plays bass in the remake of the ROCK GODDESS classic, “My Angel”.

Marta Gabriel is a founder and front woman of the heavy metal act CRYSTAL VIPER, with whom she just released new, eight studio album, “The Cult”, on Listenable Records. She’s also a seasoned session musician, and performed with acts such as JACK STARR’S BURNING STARR, MANILLA ROAD, VADER, MAJESTY and WITCH CROSS.

“Metal Queens” will be released on Listenable Records on July 16, 2021 in Europe, and July 30 in North America, and will be available as vinyl LP, CD, and digital download. First song can be streamed here:

MISFIRE – feat. members of Diamond Plate + Vitrial – will release their debut album “Sympathy for the Ignorant” on May 1st.

In 2004 at the age of 13 and 14 drummer James Nicademus and Guitarist/Vocalist Jay Johnson formed what ended up becoming the thrash metal band Diamond Plate. In 2007 Jay left that band and has since released multiple solo projects. Diamond Plate went on to be signed to Earache Records for 2 albums and played multiple tours and shows with Overkill, Death Angel, Testament, Megadeth, D.R.I. and many more. Fast forward to 2018.  James Nicademus, Tommy Denniger of End of Sanity, and Sean Coogan of Vitrial formed MISFIRE. Shortly after Tommy decided to follow a different path so James called the only man for the job. His old friend Jay Johnson.  A decision that would ultimately solidify Misfires line up. Misfire have since been active and have opened for Iron Regan, Sacred Reich, and more. Their debut album “Sympathy for the Ignorant” releases May 1st 2021 in partnership with Fracture Studios and can be purchased on all distrokid platforms.  Physical copies can be purchased at their merch site here.

Pre-order here: https://misfireofficialmerch.bigcartel.com/product/sympathy-for-the-ignorant-cd

If there is one benefit to covid-19 Misfire has had ample time to write music and a second album will be recorded in the very near future. So stay tuned and stay heavy!
