  ”Finally our new album is about to be released! It has been a long process and we are very happy with how it turned out. Can’t wait to hear what you all think about it! The album has a lot of dynamics, reminding about a train ride, it goes fast, slows down, mid-tempo, full on again, and so on. I think it has something for everyone, so jump on board the train and enjoy the ride! All aboard!”
  
  Tommy Johansson continues: ”The song ’Battle Cry’ takes you back to when Vikings sailed the seas in a fast, melodic and sing-along pirate metal tune.

• Archers Release New Single "Never Enough" via SBG Records ​    

  Feb 9, 2025 Al Feliciano 0 Comments

  ARCHERS, Wisconsin's powerhouse metalcore band, have dropped their latest hard-hitting single, "Never Enough," produced by Matt Good and available now via SBG Records. Known for their intense energy and emotionally charged lyrics, ARCHERScontinue to carve their name into the modern metalcore scene. In celebration of the release, Revolver Magazine premiered the official music video for the single, which can also be seen below.

   

  The band will be on tour supporting Catch Your Breath beginning February 6th in Seattle, WA and will be playing multiple festivals this summer.

   

  "'Never Enough' is a story too many of us are familiar with -the chemistry between two people who aren’t good for each other. These relationships are addictive by nature, and oftentimes toxic, resulting in conflict both internal and external. Never Enough addresses the uncomfortable side of this kind of relationship, acknowledging the 'temporary high' of lapsing into toxicity. Because although there’s conflict and you might know it’s unhealthy, breaking the bonds for good is a lot harder than dealing with the familiarities with the thing you’ve come to know,"says the band.

• OBSCURA - Unleash A Sonication + Watch The Video For 'In Solitude'

  Feb 9, 2025 Al Feliciano 0 Comments

  Germany-based progressive metal titans OBSCURA return with A Sonication, the highly anticipated second installment of their ambitious trilogy concept, out today via Nuclear Blast Records worldwide. This marks the band’s seventh full-length release and their second with Nuclear Blast, showcasing a bold evolution in sound while staying true to their signature complexity and innovation.

  Elegant yet commanding, A Sonication seamlessly bridges OBSCURA’s past and future, capturing their relentless pursuit of musical progression. Written and recorded during extensive worldwide touring in support of their previous album, A Valediction, the new record was finalized with award-winning producer Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman (In Flames, Bring Me The Horizon, Architects) in Gothenburg, Sweden. With the instrumental tracks completed, frontman Steffen Kummerer finished vocals and acoustic guitar sections using custom-built ENGL amps, while Nordström helmed the mixing and mastering process. The result is a heavier yet brighter sonic landscape, underscoring OBSCURA’s commitment to refinement and expansion.

  Lyrically, A Sonication delves into layered meanings and interpretations. The title itself—derived from the process of using sound waves to agitate particles—offers a multifaceted perspective, blending scientific principles with philosophical introspection. Each composition embodies a personal episode from Kummerer’s life, further connecting the album to A Valediction as part of the ongoing trilogy. To visualize the album’s theme, acclaimed artist Eliran Kantor (Testament, Kreator, Hatebreed) was enlisted, crafting a silver-toned aesthetic that seamlessly complements OBSCURA’s sonic and visual identity.

  To mark the release of A Sonication, OBSCURA unveils the official music video for ‘In Solitude,’ offering fans a first glimpse into the album’s immersive world.

• Ecuador's ANIMA INSIDE New Video "Through The Glass" Off Upcoming Album "Alien"

  Feb 7, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Ecuadar's Anima Inside, unveils "Through The Glass", a compelling new single accompanied by a striking official music video, further amplifying the song’s intense emotional depth. As one of the most powerful tracks from their upcoming album "Alien", the song showcases the band’s signature blend of modern rock, progressive elements, and rich melodic textures.

  With razor-sharp riffs, a dynamic rhythm section, and soaring vocals, "Through The Glass" takes listeners on a profound journey of perception and self-reflection. The song questions reality—do we truly see what’s on the other side or just a distorted version of the truth? This duality is mirrored in the cinematic music video, which visually brings to life the track’s themes of introspection and uncertainty.

  Renowned for their ability to fuse progressive rock, alternative influences, and Latin musical roots, Anima Inside once again delivers a track that is both immediate and deeply layered. Fans of Muse, Pink Floyd, and Disturbed will find themselves drawn to its evocative storytelling, soaring melodies, and immersive instrumental work.

  With meticulous production and a striking visual narrative, "Through The Glass" is a powerful statement, reinforcing Anima Inside’s status as one of South America’s most compelling rock acts.
