'Voices' starts on an effective soft clean vocal intro before the aggressive fierce vocals kick in and features varied vocals throughout keeping it dynamic. The guitar work is hard-hitting especially with ambient and heavy chugging riffs.

This is an intense and killer track which leaves you hungry for the upcoming EP 'Mindcell'. 'Voices' has just been released worldwide through Surgery Records, taken from our forthcoming new EP 'MINDCELL' which is out on April 11th 2019.

Alt Rockers Weesp from Minsk have released their new single “Not Over” taken from their upcoming “Black Sails” album. The band is performing alternative post-metal, with clean vocals (not this time as we can see). Even though we’ve already got the taste of their new music with the band’s latest release “illumination”, ‘Not Over” turned out to be a real surprise for Weesp fans-sailors. “Not Over” is about the endless struggle with darkness. With the darkness that lives inside each of us. And in the end it’s about accepting that darkness, coexisting with it, controlling it, making friends with it. That is what gives us strength not to get crazy in that world. That is what makes us black sails. “Not Over” is one of the most heavy-sounding songs from all their discography and is a sign of what's to come. Its focused and powerful sound adds new vibes to band’s music and makes you believe that nothing is over yet.  The new album “Black Sails” will be released at the e...

A painstaking process that started with over 200 original songs was narrowed down to the 12 tracks that are featured. For a decade, Carroll has performed all over the country honing his skills as a performer. When he had a health scare that could have taken his singing voice away forever, he decided he could...

Introducing South West hardcore outfit CARRIER who revealed their debut single release 'Grieve' taken from their forthcoming EP 'Wither'. The hard-hitting single premiered earlier this week and is the perfect offering to introduce the band to the UK. ‘Grieve’ is a song written about death, expressing the feelings the band went through when they sadly lost a friend. The track is a reflection of the anger they felt, it’s painful and they wanted to give an opportunity to be angry with death as a concept and to be angry with the world for taking people too soon. Listen to 'Grieve' via the link below: URL: https://goo.gl/wgdWCa For fans of Counterparts and August Burns Red, CARRIER have only been a fully functioning band since March 2017. All coming from previous musical backgrounds, the quartet were keen to do something different and they all seemed to have the same idea of what direction they wanted to go in. Their new EP ‘Wither’ combines hardcore and m...
