INVICTUS: Metal Injection Premieres “Exiled” Video From New Solo Project Led By Kataklysm/Ex Deo Frontman Maurizio Iacono
Well-respected as the singer of Kataklysm and Ex Deo, head of Hard Impact Artist Management, founder of Distortion Music Group, and co-owner of hard-and-heavy booking agency Continental Touring, Iacono delivers dynamic new layers of heaviness and melody with his latest creative vehicle. A Latin epithet for various Roman deities, “Invictus” translates to “unconquered” or “invincible,” a theme present throughout Iacono’s latest output. “I’ve explored many facets of the music business, from performing, writing, and producing to managing,” he explains. “But I’d never explored that deep down energy inside my thoughts which drives me to compete and, in many ways, survive everything thrown at me.”
Her new song, “Echo” is an exploration of the tip into obsession, the reckless romanticization of an oppressive dynamic, and the underlying sadness that often drives it. Haunting and intimate, this song aims to draw attention to the often enticing nature of toxicity.
In The Valley Below Present “Candy Hearts”
“Candy Hearts is the story of a fun, indulgent and shallow relationship,” says Angela Mattson, “the kind of relationship that is exciting but going nowhere. Inspiration came from many past love affairs. It started with this cool, dark instrumental track where we sampled our friend’s dog growling. The sound is buried deep now, but the feel permeates. It’s dark and sweet.”

SINGER SONGWRITER JESSICA CARTER ALTMAN’S HEARTFELT NEW SINGLE “LUCKY ONE’
Rising pop singer-songwriter Jessica Carter Altman, who is currently putting the finishing touches on a new EP, For You, the follow-up to her debut No Rules, is sharing a new song, “Lucky One”—a heartfelt ballad dedicated to her father. This first single is perhaps the most deeply personal song to date in her repertoire—it’s a gorgeously uplifting acoustic ballad that pays homage to the strength and inspiration her father instilled in her. That strength and passion has seen her through many phases of her life—from her fast-track career as a successful lawyer, to the moment that her artistic impulses galvanized her to pursue music. The song was written by Carter Altman and Palmer Lee and produced by Jason Lehning. Also appearing on the song are Todd Lombardo on acoustic guitars, Viktor Krauss on bass, Jordan Lehning on keyboards and percussion, and Palmer Lee on backing vocals. “Lucky One” will be released digitally via Symphonic.
