NACHTMUSE, the symphonic metal project of Geoff Hodsman (GRAVITATIONAL DISTORTION, ENVENOMATION, HUMAN COMPOST, VESICATION) have revealed “The Sunken”, the second single from the upcoming EP.
Geoff comments “This song is written from the perspective of someone who has a daily drinking habit. Even if you aren’t inebriated you are still under the influence – you are tired and drained of positive emotions. You will not be living your best and your personal relationships will suffer.
Today dayaway (the dreamy indie-pop project of Amber Renee and Graham Marsh of CLAVVS) returns with a new single “hot blue summer,” and it feels like the beginning of something exciting. It’s a fun indie bop to fall in (and maybe out of) love to, with lyrics that predict the inevitable end to summer love. “hot blue summer” buzzes with warm surf rock energy, replete with hazy guitars, dusty drums, and dayaway’s signature hooky melodies.

Drawing together metalcore with a progressive and technical twist, I SEE AURA manifest soaring atmospheres while also venturing into the dark and heavy. The new offering, “Pyramid Sky”, unleashes an onslaught of thundering rhythms and djent-stabs accompanied with intense electronics and brutal vocals.
Vocalist/Bassist Josh Hinch comments “‘Pyramid Sky’ is the conspiracy that the sky is a hologram and that we are experimental specimens of a high extra-terrestrial being. These lyrics talking about the deep roots of life and existence as a whole. It then moves into speaking about the force of nature and survival. We can only change so many things as individuals with a corrupted system that constantly fails.”
