Album Submission \ Vini Vicious – Atelophobia

While these days a duo is the modern representation of a classic 4-piece rock band, Vini Vicious justify their line up through their music. With a vacuum sealed, super tight rhythm section, and 2 guitarists playing both lead and rhythm parts, the band has refined their sound and dubbed it “Tragic Pop”.

“Atelophobia” (Do google that) was born as an idea of letting go of all previous methodology and what is the “right” way to record music. This steered the band to go in the studio with a clean spirit and mind and just hammer down the tracks one by one, making quick decisions, which resulted in an EP that the band sees as their most complete work to date, representing the band’s sound and musical direction in a tightly shaped sonic capsule.

“I wrote that song when my son was turning 16 and going through a rough patch for a bit,” Cooley says. “Luckily, he’s turned it around and he’s doing great now, but it was a tough time for a while. Part of my way of dealing with it was to take ownership of the example I might’ve set, in the hope of leading him out of it.”

CADAVERIA: Italian horror metal veterans launch “Emptiness” lyric video

Frontwoman Cadaveria comments: “The emptiness of which I speak is not the nothingness, is not the oblivion, but the cosmic emptiness, the 99.9% of the Universe, that we do not know and that, however, is not empty at all. And it is above all the emptiness of the mind, that I aspire to reach through meditation, the absence of thought, which sets free. So don’t be afraid of emptiness”.

Durham, NC’s Al Riggs shares new single and DIY video for “Dirty Socks for Tove Jansson”

“Themselves is the final Al Riggs album. It’s about dead people, the concept of “dead people”, and what we write about when we write about dead people. It’s also an album about rebirth and transition, moving on from one form to another. The trans allegories are through the roof. It features the act of trying to break arpeggiated MIDI patches into something that resembles breathing, changing, living tissue, drums that jitter and clang from channel to channel, and a complete lack of country/folk guitars. We know this is a lot to take in, which is why we have a bio written by the esteemed Niko Stratis to guide you deeper into the realms of this swan song.”
