Jazz Trumpeter And Singer Matt Von Roderick Releases New Album ‘CELESTIAL HEART’
“CELESTIAL HEART is a special album with a bit of magic, and it takes flight today,” says Von Roderick. “In many ways CELESTIAL HEART represents a legacy of the singing trumpeter that I am honored to be part of. From Louis Armstrong to Chet Baker, there’s a specific kind of alchemy that occurs when you combine real-deal jazz adventure with heartfelt song, channeled through a unique artistic voice. It’s my intention that CELESTIAL HEART now makes its way into the hearts and minds of millions of people around the world, and provides the value that takes shape when you marry the inherent sense of possibility in creative jazz with the life wisdom and romantic lens of classic song. May it bring you a sense of poetic beauty, connection and inspiration.”

BORN IN BLOOD Premieres “Inferno” at Metal Injection
Texas metal band Born in Blood is excited to release their next single, “Inferno” off of the upcoming EP, Can’t Save Us All. “Inferno” delves into the aftermath of crawling out of the depths of your self-inflicted misery. The next stage of accepting failure and despair is your own “Inferno,” trapped deep beneath the dark soil that becomes a welcoming embrace. “Welcome to my inferno” comments drummer, Stephen Bonilla, “‘Inferno’ is an excellent single for the upcoming EP. It starts to bridge the gap from the last album, Misery, and the new one, Can’t Save Us All. ‘Inferno’ is unrelenting and filled with the rage of the current situation you’re in. A perfect synopsis of our time when we were writing it during the pandemic.”
Lo-Fi queer folk artist Madam Sad shares “Accepted” off horrors of capitalism concept LP
As part of a psychological horror concept album titled Paradise, that is inspired by the cold reality of capitalism, their latest track “Accepted” is about the main character in the album’s narrative finally becoming accepted in the story. The symbolism behind violence being a key for acceptance comes from the idea that extortion in capitalism gets you accepted or admired. It’s a purposefully bare bones recording with back-up vocals by Connor Marquis-young and Saxophone played by Connor bennett.
