Following the unexpected, sinister cover of EIFFEL 65’s 1998 hit single “Blue (Da Ba Dee),” celebrated orchestral death metal masters FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE have released a playthrough video for their version of the track, “Blue (Turns To Red),” featuring their monstrous drummer Eugene Ryabchenko.

Commenting on the playthrough, Ryabchenko states: “Not gonna lie I never thought a pop hit could be this challenging on drums. With Fleshgod’s signature sound the arrangements took a completely different form. I am pretty sure one way or another it “blue” some people’s minds.”

Frontman Francesco Paoli adds: “We did this cover as a joke, but tracking it wasn’t that funny. Seeing is believing!”

FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE’s new singles follows the band’s monumental, critically acclaimed album “Veleno,” which is available for purchase and stream from Nuclear Blast.

CELEB CAR CRASH Release New Single + Visualizer “Down to the Core”

CELEB CAR CRASH have released “Down to the Core”, a new single mixed by Riccardo “Paso” Pasini at Studio73 and Mastered at La Maestà Studio by Giovanni Versari (Muse, Afterhours …).

“Down to the Core”: There are people and feelings that we can feel even without seeing them, without touching them. They are invisible but present. We recognize the effects, in a frantic search we try to understand the dichotomy of our thinking: Rational, Irrational. Potential and Reality. Is this what we really want for ourselves? After all, we are probably only what we know.

The piece freely draws inspiration from CHRISTINA ROSSETTI’s Poem ‘Who Has Seen the Wind?’

Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you:
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.

Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.

This is the fifth single and video released by the band which will be included in the album “The World Is Busy, Try Again Later” due out for the Zeta Factory on April 16, 2021.

The Visualizer like all Celeb Car Crash visual production is curated by Erika Errante. Artwork by Beba.

JOHAN KIHLBERG’S IMPERA Release New Album “Spirit of Alchemy” On April 9th

The mighty JOHAN KIHLBERG’S IMPERA are back with their heaviest album to date. “Spirit of Alchemy” will be released on 09.04. at Metalville Records.

JOHAN KIHLBERG’S IMPERA is the brainchild of Stockholm born drummer Johan Kihlberg, who formed the band in 2011 after having worked in the music business for over 30 years, performing with members from legendary acts such as KISS, THIN LIZZY, EUROPE, RAINBOW and MÖTLEY CRUE.

Every album leading up to Spirit of Alchemy has been unique in the how Kihlberg has invited his noted friends from the international rock and metal community to add their magic to the songs. This time, the stellar musicianship comes courtesy of no less than bassist John Levén (who has been with Swedish hard rock titans EUROPE since its formation) and renowned drummer Snowy Shaw (who has a history with KING DIAMOND, MERCYFUL FATE and SABATON). The soaring vocals are brought to you by power house Jonny Lindkvist of NOCTURNAL RITES, while the stellar guitar wizardry once again is handled by Lars Chriss from LION’S SHARE.

Spirit of Alchemy is an album full of focus and determination. The metal riffing in songs like the up-tempo rocker “All About You” and the guitar picking that starts off the haunting “When Souls Collide” manage to sound both classic and futuristic at the same time. Even though JOHAN KIHLBERG’S IMPERA’s new effort is rooted in the harder realms of rock, Kihlberg’s lifelong passion for atmospheric movie soundtracks once again shines through in the epic finale that is “Battle”.

Spirit of Alchemy is sure to please both older and newer fans and push JOHAN KIHLBERG’S IMPERA’s career to the next level. (Text: Carl Linnaeus)

Wanikiya Record / Promotion is pleased to announce the entry of ETHER’S VOID to its roster family.

Ether’s Void is a metal project born in 2016 consisting of Daniel Rosa (vocals and guitar), Andrea Sora (guitar), Luca Ferrandi (bass), Sebastiano Danelli (drums). Their music is born from the need to mix sounds ranging from post grunge (Alter Bridge, Tremonti) to progressive (Dream Theater, Periphery).

The band, with the release of the debut album “Collateral”, intends to disseminate their own interpretation and research as much as possible accumulated over the years. From 2016 to today the band has played in various clubs and festivals in northern Italy with their assets about fifty dates. On the band’s YouTube channel they have posted the videos of their two singles “When The Suns Collide” and “Pillars” both extracted from the first disc; two more singles are scheduled to be released. The expressed themes in the lyric range are from interpersonal relationships to individual growth, referring to astronomical scenarios as a metaphor for the human psyche.

Big news TBA! Stay tuned, because they have a lot to say!
