• American Black/Extreme Metal CATHARIA Unleashes New Album "Unimaginable Dreams of Fate"

  Dec 6, 2024 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

  Out Now! CATHARIA's New Album "Unimaginable Dreams of Fate"

  American black/extreme metal CATHARIA's highly anticipated second album "Unimaginable Dreams of Fate" is now available as of December 6th from Extreme Metal Music, a subsidiary of Rockshots Records.

  Founded by guitarist Matt Powell in the late 2010s, the band was born from his desire to create a sound that is dark, aggressive, and technical yet deeply melodic. With roots in black metal, Catharia's music explores new dimensions, refusing to be confined by genre expectations. After a series of lineup challenges, Powell forged ahead recording the band’s debut album "Midnight Sun" with engineer Jackson Ward. The addition of vocalist Nick Kiefer, who joined after impressing with a Wiegedood cover, helped solidify Catharia's sound. With bassist Dylan Thompson and drummer Michael Edrington now in the fold, the band is stronger than ever and ready to deliver their most ambitious work to date.

  "The wait is over! Our second album is finally here, marking a bold evolution in our sound. Building on the black and extreme metal roots of Midnight Sun, this new release pushes the boundaries of complexity, melody, and atmosphere." adds the band.

  "Unimaginable Dreams of Fate" is more technical, layered, and diverse than Catharia's debut, yet unmistakably rooted in the intensity of blackened extreme metal. With tracks like "Tomb Throne" and "Solemnly" already setting the stage, fans can expect intense aggression, atmospheric serenity, and a journey through diverse energies, intricate song structures, and powerful sonic textures. Fans of bands like Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, and Dissection will find much to love as Catharia has crafted something that’s unmistakably them.

  ANIMA INSIDE New Single / Music Video "Alien" Captures The Essence of Their Evolution In Expanding Their Musical Fusion

  Anima Inside, one of South America’s (Ecuador) most dynamic and boundary-pushing rock bands, returns with their latest single, "Alien". This track offers a mesmerizing preview of the band's forthcoming album set to release in 2025. True to their spirit of innovation, the band describes "Alien" as one of their most unique creations. It captures the essence of their evolution—an ever-expanding fusion of styles that remains unmistakably their own.

  With its hypnotic blend of influences, "Alien" delivers a fresh and timeless sound. The song features an intricate guitar solo, vibrant rhythmic layers, and an emotive message that resonates deeply with today’s listeners. As the band puts it, “It’s probably the strangest song we’ve ever created, but it has something that makes you want to hear it over and over. The fusion, the solo, the message—it’s very Anima Inside and incredibly current.”

  Since their beginnings in 2006, Anima Inside has been known for its ability to blend progressive rock roots with modern, mainstream accessibility. "Alien" encapsulates this evolution perfectly, balancing technical prowess with a raw emotional edge. The song’s themes of alienation and introspection echo the band's ongoing exploration of the human condition, a recurring motif in their music.

  This single marks the next step in a career that has seen Anima Inside perform alongside legends like Ozzy Osbourne, Deep Purple, and KISS, and share stages at major festivals such as Hell and Heaven Fest Mexico and Domination MX. Their sound has always defied easy categorization, weaving elements of progressive rock, Andean rhythms, and Afro-Latin influences into a style that is distinctly their own.

  "Alien" is a testament to the band's commitment to pushing creative boundaries while staying true to their roots. It serves as both a standalone piece of art and a tantalizing introduction to the sonic journey their upcoming album promises to deliver. With its unforgettable hooks, striking instrumentation, and profound lyrics, the track is a perfect reflection of the versatility and artistry that define Anima Inside.

  As the band prepares for the release of their next full-length record, "Alien" stands as a bold statement of intent, showcasing their ability to innovate while maintaining the essence of what has made them one of the most recognized names in South American rock. Keep an eye on Anima Inside as they gear up for what promises to be an extraordinary 2025, and don’t miss "Alien" now available on all major streaming platforms.
