FABULAE DRAMATIS Reveals New Single & Video “Fábula Violenta”

Picture by Gustavo Adolfo Valderrama

A chronicle of a childhood during war. A single that is part of the new upcoming album by Fabulae Dramatis entitled ‘Violenta‘ and that is a chronicle of Isabel Restrepo’s childhood during the drug war in the 90s in Aranjuez, Medellin – Colombia.

It tells a story full of contrast about experiences between the childhood world that she tried to lead but yet having to face a harsher reality where she wanted to play with dolls and at the same time tried to protect herself from bullets.

The video clip for this single reveals a memory of that Colombian war scenario in which at one point she found a stray bullet on her pillow, making her realise the fact that she had just escaped death.

Watch the official video for ‘Violenta’ BELOW:

The songs on this new album, which will be released on September 7, 2024, are full of personal, private and intimate experiences. This is what we felt was about time to do in order to reflect a more mature aspect of ourselves. A true, honest and at the same time cathartic musical process. In which we dare to present ourselves vulnerable in certain ways; simply as human beings and sharing our experiences with the public.

Fabulae Dramatis’ upcoming album has been produced by Martin Furia (Destruction & Bark) & Gustavo Adolfo Valderrama (Mixer / Live Engineering / FOH / Producer).

Painted Scars Unveil Defiant Single “Won’t Give Up” From Upcoming EP

“Won’t Give Up” is the 1st single from the upcoming debut EP ‘Kintsugi‘ by Painted Scars which will be released in August 2024.

The song is about confronting and rising up against something or someone who is keeping you from living the life you want or achieving the goals you want to achieve, a message many can relate to.

The inspiration for this song came from Jassy Blue’s own struggles with her illness, Cystic Fibrosis. This illness has long been something that has held her back in her singing aspirations and dreams. This song reflects her feelings on overcoming the disease to pursue her dream in music.

Watch the official video for “Won’t Give Up” below:

Painted Scars is a brand new heavy hitting rock band that was fully formed in April 2023. They recorded their first single “Life and Alive” in July 2023. The single was recorded at home by the band members and sent to an audio engineer in Germany for mixing and mastering. It received very positive reviews by local magazines and social media outlets.

As a try-out show, they organised a mini festival “Scarfest” in their home base in Erpe-Mere, Belgium. The festival took place in August 2023. The show, being a great success, triggered a series of follow up shows in the same year.

The band is known for their high energy show that leaves first timers with a deep impression. Heavy riffs and blazing guitar solos, combined with melodic choruses provide the crowd with a mix of head banging and sing along moments. In 2024, the band recorded their first EP ‘Kintsugi‘, which will be released at the 2nd edition of Scarfest in August 2024.

Painted Scars are:
Jassy ‘Hyacien’ Blue – Vocals
Kevin De Brauwer – Backing vocals & Guitar

Female Fronted CineMetal Discovery Ammify Signs Deal With Wormholedeath

Emerging West Australian outfit Ammify has announced that they have signed with Italian-based metal label, Wormholedeath, who will oversee global marketing and digital distribution for their forthcoming debut album, Lost, Not Hiding.

Featuring the musical pairing of Ammy Phoenix (vocals/lyrics) and Pete Renzullo (music/production) Lost, Not Hiding makes its way through the heavier genres. Still, the duo has themselves described it best as CineMetal.

Ammy says:

“I am so excited that Wormholedeath is taking us on as a band! I have never been more proud of any project as I am of Ammify, and I am so happy that thanks to Wormholedeath, we get to put it out for people to hear. There’s nothing quite like being able to share a piece of yourself like this and I really hope it makes people feel understood in a way they really need to be.” 

The cinematic lyrics and crushing soundscapes of Lost, Not Hiding speak like a song cycle of those who have been beaten down by life, by love, by relationships and by society… but not broken. And clearly resolute.

Step into the immersive world of Ammify and watch the official music video for “Cowards Way Out” BELOW:

That it is the first album from Ammy and Pete is beyond impressive, the deep artistic connection between the two already speaks to the ages.

Part of the Warner Music and Sony Orchard Group, Wormholedeath has offices through Europe, the US, and Australia, distributing worldwide metal music, gothic metal, symphonic metal, and thrash metal.

Pete says:

“They said it was a very powerful album and they mentioned Ammy’s voice, of course. They were just very impressed that the style was quite unique. One of the guys said that we’ve managed to find our own universe and that of the artists they’ve previously signed, nothing like this has come across before. “Ultimately for me, the biggest thing about getting signed to a label is that they see what we have created here, which was essentially a passion project. As Ammy and I were writing the album we were saying, ‘There’s something about this’. The fact that an international label has found value in this is really exciting and just so promising.

“Lost, Not Hiding” is released internationally by Wormholedeath on June 14th, 2024.

Tracklist:
01. Homesick
02. Coward’s Way Out
03. The Truth Will Set You Free
04. Favourite
05. Hey! You! (Over And Over)
06. Evaporate
07. The King Of Always Wanting More
08. Fluffy Little Rats
09. Grief
10. Involuntarily Celibate

Melodic Death Metal Unit ACT OF CREATION Reveal Title Track of Upcoming New Album “Moments To Remain”

Germany-based melodic death metal unit ACT OF CREATION has announced the first details about their forthcoming, fifth studio album entitled “Moments to Remain”! The album will be released via Massacre Records on July 19, 2024 as CD Digipak, Ltd. Vinyl LP and Digital formats, the pre-sale has just started at: https://lnk.to/momentstoremain

“Moments To Remain” can be considered as a continuation of the last three ACT OF CREATION albums, but it should still be seen as a stand-alone release.

Lyrically, all the songs revolve around the theme of time, which is also picked up on the cover in the form of a clock slowly dissolving in a lake. The “Moments To Remain” album cover once again depicts the girl who was reborn on “The Uncertain Light”. Now, however, she is already grown up, sitting in front of a lake, and reflecting on life. The whole album is based on the concept of reviewing an entire day and thinking about certain topics while sitting by the water.

Watch the official video for “Moments To Remain” BELOW:

Vocalist Jess tells us:

“This is the title track and deals with the topic of memory loss and how important and beautiful memories are as well as the moments in life that you might not immediately remember. With a short intro and outro in the song, we transport the listener to the scenery from the album cover, namely the lake of memories.”

The song is now available on digital streaming providers via: https://actofcreation.bfan.link/momentstoremain

At the beginning of the songwriting process, the band decided not to be constrained by past successes and, as usual, began to express their current feelings and thoughts through music. In order to give the album the maximum of energy and intensity, all songs on the album were recorded directly at the intended live tempo for the first time, so that every last bit of energy could be extracted from the material, thus ensuring that “Moments To Remain” reflects the intensity of ACT OF CREATION‘s live shows.

Furthermore, attention was paid to an even finer blend of all the band’s influences within the songs, which increases the progressiveness somewhat, while transporting the listener even more intensely into their musical world. With the new songs, ACT OF CREATION have succeeded in presenting a logical and consistent further progression of the band’s sound.

In close collaboration with audio engineer Dennis Koehne, a massive wall of sound has once again been created which, despite its incredible power, always leaves enough room for the subtle nuances of the band’s signature sound. The result is an album that, despite all its complexity, makes no compromises when it comes to a powerful performance and thus invites the listener on a highly emotion journey through the musical world of ACT OF CREATION!

CD Tracklist:

1. Awake (Bonus Track)
2. Come With Me
3. Under Friendly Fire
4. Egoist
5. Moments To Remain
6. Cry Of A Peacecrow (Bonus Track)
7. Dying Inside
8. Confront The Truth
9. Lost Little Soul
10. Beyond Reality
11. Agonizing Slumber
12. Into Dreams (Bonus Track)

VALFREYA Shares Epic New Single “The Rise” From Their Upcoming Record “Dawn of Reckoning”

Canadian blackened death symphonic metal band Valfreya is proud to announce the release of their sixth album “Dawn of Reckoning” on May 24, 2024. To whet the palettes of those who enjoy epic dark metal, now they are releasing a lyric video for the single “The Rise“. The concept album sees the band take their darkest turn as they lean into the blackened end of the metal spectrum and follow the goddess Hel as she wreaks havoc upon humanity.

The band comments on the album:

Dawn of Reckoning is a concept album. The main theme revolves around the anger of the goddess Hel which plays the metaphorical role of a fatal justice towards a guilty humanity. The songs convey this anger, but also a range of intense emotions related to the execution of humankind. Musically, you will hear dark symphonies, epic choirs, versatile vocals alongside tumultuous guitars and violin riffs.

Known for their fervent performances and epic storytelling, Valfreya has been delighting fans since 2009 with their unique blend of metal genres. In “The Rise“, Hel is raising her army because humanity had enough warnings. Its denial is its obsolescence. It is its turn to be threatened and face extinction.

Watch the Lyric Video for “The Rise” BELOW:

In conjunction with the single release, Valfreya is launching an Indiegogo campaign to fund the production of “Dawn of Reckoning“. Fans will have the opportunity to contribute to the creation of this monumental album and gain access to exclusive perks and rewards. Those with an interest in Septicflash, Xaon, and Fleshgod Apocalypse should take a listen.

Gothic Metal Band VICTORIA K Releases Enchanting Cover of Madonna’s ‘Frozen’

Melbourne Gothic Metal powerhouse Victoria K have recorded their own heavy rendition of Madonna‘s iconic 1998 ballad ‘Frozen‘. Victoria K brings their dark and tenebrous stylings to the classic with heavy riffs and the judicious incorporation of harsh vocals, while at the same time paying tribute to the soulful and introspective nature of the song with more dulcet moments led by frontwoman Victoria Knight‘s hypnotic voice.

Reflecting on the journey of recording the song, Knight reveals:

‘Frozen’ is one of my favourite Madonna tracks, I’m so excited to be breathing new life into the song.

We’re hoping that with this cover, we can bring a new and fresh sound to Victoria K.

Fans can indeed look forward to a bigger Victoria K sound than ever, as ‘Frozen‘ is mixed and mastered by the deft hand of Lance Prenc, whose work includes some of Australia’s biggest heavy acts such as Alpha Wolf, Thornhill and Void of Vision.

‘Frozen’ is available on all digitial platforms at: https://victoriak.lnk.to/frozen

Victoria K exploded into the minds and ears of Australian audiences with their 2019 hometown support of Swedish Folk Metal legends, Eluveitie. The band then took the Gothic Metal world by storm with the release of their debut album, Essentia. Although the now-infamous 2020 pandemic struck on the eve of their first headline show as the world entered lockdown, Victoria K was undeterred by this setback. While touring was off the cards, the band embraced the opportunity to deliver a live-streamed show direct from the studio where Essentia was recorded, providing a beacon of Gothic celebration in the darkest of times. The show is now available as the Essentia – Live Isolation Concert DVD.

Since the world’s emergence from the pandemic, Victoria K has hit the road in earnest, touring Australia in support of Essentia and their 2022 follow-up, Kore. Kore exponentially expands the beguiling soundscape of Essentia as Knight sonically explores the mythology of her Greek heritage. In addition to Knight’s majestic lead vocals, Victoria K‘s current touring line-up includes Charlie Curnow tearing up the stage on harsh vocals, Adyn Young leading the melodic charge on guitar, Ethan Colussi holding down the bottom end on bass, and the indomitable percussive machine of James Davies on drums.
