We’re excited to unveil Changing Places In The Fire‘s (Venezuela) debut single ‘The Fury And The Sound‘, out 31st March via Wild Thing Records [AU]. 

The band elaborates on their new track below:

“A clash between identity and uprooting in a world fractured by noise and manufactured certainty. The Fury and the Sound captures the pressure to choose sides, to reshape yourself, and to survive the chaos without disappearing inside it.” – Changing Places In The Fire

Changing Places in the Fire is a band shaped by upheaval, memory, and distance. Formed by five Venezuelan musicians – Daz Medrano (vocals), Alfredo Ovalles (keyboards), Javier Landaeta (guitar), Antonio Silva (guitar), and Miguel Ángel Moliné (drums), all of whom are now scattered across Europe and South America, out of the ashes of the Caracas scene. The band is steeped in the emotional and political realities of migration.
Musically, the group sit somewhere between post-metal and prog rock, blending the emotional sweep of Dredg, the heaviness of Deftones, the layered expansiveness of Oceansize, and the moody introspection of Porcupine Tree. It’s a sound built on contrasts: aggression and fragility, density and space, closeness and distance. Their unique blend of
fervour and circumstances caught the interest of Wild Thing Records, an independent label from Australia.

The project grew out of their earlier bands Echoes (ProgRock Records, USA) and Triad back in Venezuela, taking shape remotely as each member moved countries, rebuilt their lives, and dealt with the ongoing collapse of their homeland. That fragmentation drives the tension and atmosphere of their songs. 

Alongside the band’s work, members have continued developing their careers internationally. Alfredo maintains an active performing and recording career in Europe (in classical music), while Daz works as a singer, composer, and producer for short films, fashion films, and advertising projects in Argentina.

Changing Places in the Fire is a long-distance collaboration born out of necessity and shared history – a record of survival, displacement, and transformation.
