• SECRET RULE New Music Video “Echoes Of The Earth"

  Jun 24, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Rockshots Records and Secret Rule are excited to announce the release of the band’s new single “Echoes Of The Earth,” accompanied by a music video and available on all digital platforms starting today, June 24th, 2025. The track is the second preview of Secret Rule’s highly anticipated tenth studio album “X”, due for release late 2025.

  With “Echoes Of The Earth”, Secret Rule explores a more introspective and spiritual side of their sound. The song blends heavy grooves, atmospheric tension, and layered electronics, creating a powerful and immersive soundscape. Lyrically, it reflects on the human need to reconnect with what is real and primordial in a chaotic, artificial world.

  “It’s about listening for something ancient to guide you. I wrote the lyrics during a time when I needed to feel grounded again. That chorus is the moment of awakening,” says vocalist Angela Di Vincenzo.

  Guitarist and producer Andy Menario adds:

  “We wanted a track that felt direct and alive—something that could carry both chaos and order, like a dialogue between the modern world and the earth itself.”

  Fresh from a 15-date European tour with Temperance and Induction earlier this spring and gearing up to hit major summer festivals across Europe, including Masters of Rock (Czech Republic), Rock Imperium (Spain), and Laurus Nobilis (Portugal), Secret Rule continues to prove they are entering a bold new chapter.

• SERPENTYNE Enchant Fans w/ First Single “Prophetess of Dreams” Off New Album “Tales From The Dark” Out Feb 2025

  Jan 7, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  ​
  ​Serpentyne enchants fans with "Prophetess of Dreams", the first single from their highly anticipated album "Tales from the Dark" out February 2025. This hard-hitting, fast-paced track is the album’s powerful introduction, showcasing the darker and fiercer side of the band’s evolving sound.
  ​
  Opening with a "barrage of bullet-like guitar riffs," as described by the band, "Prophetess of Dreams" immediately sets an intense tone. The song seamlessly combines modern, aggressive metal elements with the symphonic and choral layers that define Serpentyne’s music. Guitarist Lee Willmer utilizes an 8-string guitar to create unprecedented depth and heaviness, while the dual vocals of Maggiebeth Sand and Nigel Middleton add dramatic intensity.
  ​
  Lyrically, the track delves into humanity’s timeless desire to uncover destiny. The prophetess, a central figure in the song, unveils what lies ahead with lines like, “Tell my fortune today, oracle of answers, will my luck fade away, or is it here to stay?”. This thematic depth, coupled with the band’s dynamic instrumentation, delivers a cinematic and immersive experience.
  ​
  ​"Prophetess of Dreams" showcases a symphonic journey that bridges the grandiose with the aggressive. The single’s blend of orchestral arrangements, relentless rhythms, and evocative storytelling sets the stage for the full release of "Tales from the Dark" later this year.
