Ann My Dice
Ann My Dice is een band die al geruime tijd aanstekelijke rock/metal weet te produceren. Altijd met een voelspriet voor aanstekelijke melodieën. Deze week brachten ze de nieuw single Shutdown uit featuring GEEL. De single is een voorbode voor de nieuwe EP Strain die eraan zit te komen.
Zelf zeggen de heren over de single:
“Shutdown delivers a message about mental health and straining oneself to go to the extreme in a fast and ever changing society.”
Torn From Oblivion
Torn From Oblivion timmert ook stevig aan de weg. Nu zet de band de nieuwe single Fraud! online met Alma Alizadeh van For I Am King als gast.
“‘FRAUD!’ explores the struggle of hiding your true feelings to avoid hurting others. This people-pleasing mentality can spiral into imposter syndrome, making you lose your sense of self. Eventually, that disconnect can lead to self-hatred and an inability to truly connect with anyone,” says vocalist and lyricist Mees Stevens. “We brought in Alma Alizadeh of FOR I AM KING to create a dynamic back-and-forth—one voice embodying the frustration and self-loathing that comes with this battle, while the other represents the exhaustion of constantly wearing a mask.”
Time And The Hunter
Time And The Hunter is alweer toe aan de derde single en is ook afkomstig van het debuutalbum Weapon PT 1 dat gepland staat voor 26 april. Bijzonder is samenwerking met Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquility, The Halo Effect…) die een mooi duet vormt met Enrico Longhin.
Enrico:
“It’s a deeply introspective piece. When we reached this stage of the arrangements, we immediately thought of Mikael as a guest. He had been following the project’s development behind the scenes, and his contribution to the lyrics was a perfect fit for both his voice and the song’s message.”
Over de video zegt hij:
“Mikael was on tour with The Halo Effect, and we took advantage of their Budapest date since the location was ideal for adding depth to the song. I arrived a day earlier to scout locations, and the next day we shot everything in just two hours. It felt as if we had rehearsed it countless times. What made it into the final cut was entirely improvised, guided by the song’s mood. Even passers-by were drawn into the atmosphere – it was simply magical. I am certain this authenticity shines through in the video, just as it does in the song itself: simple yet effective, with arrangements and melodies that are unmistakably Time and the Hunter.”
