Blaxem are a devastatingly heavy modern metal band from Chile, a beacon of light in dark times accompanied by a distinct heavy feel that rings true. The band just premiered another new music video, entitled “Ethereal” which is the title track and third music video from their new album Ethereal which was just released on May 16, 2025 via Eclipse Records. The album was produced by Dann Hidalgo and Guille Malatesta, engineered & mixed by Dann Hidalgo, and mastered by Hakeen Mishea. Available now on all platforms at this location.

“Ethereal is the track that gives the EP its name, so we wanted this video to capture the very essence of the song.” says vocalist/guitarist Dann Hidalgo. “We wanted at first to shoot the video in a forest nearby but at the time we went it was close, and luckily one of the camera guys knew the abandoned railway, and it was a miracle. This was the perfect place but as it was a public space, we almost set up a live show as people started getting curious and stayed watching us record the video.”

Blaxem serve up a raucous monster-mash of hard driving burn n’ crunch with their new EP Ethereal. The album is amazingly uplifting in not only the unadulterated rawness of the musical presentation, but in its passion and power. More specifically, track to track, listeners will notice non-linear, clever songwriting chock full of twists, turns, and satisfying surprises as well as lead guitar performances that would bend our hearts to the breaking point and dazzle our senses with such intricate, power-shredding that one stands amazed that so many sweet notes could fit in one measure. As for overall theming, the band seems to illustrate world-culture as a pilgrimage of starless gloom through which we overcome our lack of purpose and direction through truth, strength, and empathy. That said, listeners will rejoice in this glorious journey through the underworld of gut-wrenching riffs and long shadowed caverns, thunderous drums and old stone corridors lit only by the dim and damp glow of torches flickering along the stories of the shattered world written on the walls in dark blood. The bass guitar is lethal phantom, banging in the attic, knocking about in the tool shed, pounding under the cellar stairs, and the growl vocal rips open your soul, raising haunted angels from the red mist to sing you a death knell. Ethereal features cover art designed by Hakeen Mishea and it was released on May 16, 2025 by Eclipse Records.

Blaxem are a devastatingly heavy modern metal band from Chile, a beacon of light in dark times accompanied by a distinct heavy feel that rings true. The band just premiered a new music video for their technically brutal new single entitled “Grey Summit“. The music video was directed by Guille Malatesta while the band was on tour in Buenos Aires, Argentina. “Grey Summit” is the second single & music video taken from their upcoming album Ethereal which will be released on May 16, 2025 via Eclipse Records. The album was produced by Dann Hidalgo and Guille Malatesta, engineered & mixed by Dann Hidalgo, and mastered by Hakeen Mishea.

“This is a very special video because of the footage shown” says vocalist/guitarist Dann Hidalgo. “This is a compilation of memories that we created in Bueno Aires. This city is probably one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever had the pleasure of performing in. It was also the hottest summer we have ever experienced so it was a difficult task to move around with so much of our gear. But most certainly the people, the culture and the city were most welcoming and very warm. We are so grateful for the opportunity and this video represents those feelings.”

Blaxem are a devastatingly-heavy modern metal band from Chile, whose music yields comfort and joy in dark times, like a beacon of light accompanied by a distinct heavy feel that rings true. The band just premiered a new music video for their brutally technical new single entitled “Miscellaneous“. The music video was directed by Mural Sessions in one of Argentina’s most notable recording studios, Unisono Studio which happens to be owned by Gustavo Cerati of Soda Stereo. “Miscellaneous” is the first single & music video taken from their upcoming album Ethereal which will be released on May 16, 2025 via Eclipse Records. The album was produced by Dann Hidalgo and Guille Malatesta, engineered & mixed by Dann Hidalgo, and mastered by Hakeen Mishea.

“We were on tour in Argentina and had the chance to play at one of the most famous studios in Buenos Aires, Unisono Studio… For us, it felt surreal and very magical. This is the personal studio of Gustavo Cerati from the band Soda Stereo and he produced his last 4 albums there. It was a real privilege for us to be able to play a full set in his studio, and they did a great job filming and editing the music video. Hopefully he did not think it was too heavy for his studio.” – Dann Hidalgo (guitar/vocals)

Eclipse Records is excited to announce the signing of BLAXEM to a worldwide exclusive deal. A devastatingly heavy modern metal band from Chile, whose music yields comfort and joy in dark times, like a beacon of light accompanied by a distinct heavy feel that rings true. Blaxem recently wrapped up their new EP album entitled Ethereal which will be released via Eclipse Records on May 16, 2025. The album was produced by Dann Hidalgo and Guille Malatsesta, mixed by Dann Hidalgo and mastered by Hakeen Mishea.

For a sample of the band’s past work, check out the music video for their independently released single “Mist”:

“It’s always exciting to start a new musical chapter,” says guitarist Guille Malatesta. “I am very happy to begin working with Eclipse Records alongside my bandmates and brothers. It’s a dream come true, and I have complete trust in the music we create and the way we approach things as a band. Daniel and I have been working towards this since we were very young, and we’ve always hoped to reach this stage.” 

Vocalist & guitarist Dann Hidalgo adds, “I have been working for over 8 years now in the music business in general, and this opportunity really makes me dream like a child again. I heard about Eclipse Records because Guille was in New York last year, so I went to visit him, and our mission was to reach someone in the industry there, so it was a long week walking through the streets of New York, discovering new places and meeting new people. We send tons of emails, and the only one that responded was Eclipse, so I am definitely grateful that they gave us a chance, I am ready for what’s to come and make our visions real.”
