‘Heroes’, which is now available on all streaming platforms, is the first single from their upcoming EP, which will be called ‘M3TAVERSE’. This work is being mixed, mastered and co-produced by the well-known Dj Zardonic, a Venezuelan based in Germany, who in addition to being a producer, audio engineer and composer with twenty years of experience in the music industry, is one of the most touring Venezuelan musicians. in Europe and their credits are shared with world-renowned music projects such as Fear Factory, Bullet for my Valentine, Sonic Syndicate, Arturia, Slate Digital, IK Multimedia, Public Disorder, and their music is heard on high-end channels like TNT, NBC Sports, among others.

“Heroes is inspired by the events that are now in the news in the world and is dedicated to all those people who defend their history, their families, their lands and above all the heroes who risk their lives in the wars of this century. Music is a auditory film that reflects the feelings of human beings who have gone through situations of war and attacks with massive weapons. The musical evolution is remarkable in relation to their previous works and it is precisely this direction that marks the new facet of Murky Claw, preserving the essence of the their ‘guaro metal’ with alternative elements and the explosive melody that has characterized them since their creation”. – Mention the band.

(tv series) Obi-Wan Kenobi: Star Wars series just never disappoint me!

When Disney took over Star Wars movies and other projects I was a sceptic and turned out that I was right. First, they just wiped out the book story line turning it into name Star Wars Legends and the new books they called New Canon and since I am an avid collector and fan of SW expanded universe books, the newer books that I read until now are just inferior compared to the older SW novels and storyline.

Then came the movies. Episode VII was decent and I enjoyed it wishing to see how the story will evolve further. Rogue One is excellent, dark war movie which is just fantastic for me, Solo sucked big time and episode VIII was okay, but finale, Episode IX was just a thing that made me want to cry what they did to my beloved SW. When Solo failed big time, fortunately they turned more to tv, Mandalorian was just fantastic, both seasons, also Book of Boba Fett was a rollercoaster of happiness for me.

I was eager to see what will they do with Obi-Wan Kenobi, six episode series which was supposed to bring back Ewan McGregor to the role of Obi-Wan and how they will connect it to story in Episode IV. Well, they did a fantastic job.

The story happens ten years after Order 66 and events of Jedi Purge and rise of Empire led by Darth Sidious and tragic events that led to end of brotherhood between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, two of best Jedi in the galaxy. Obi-Wan now lives as a recluse on Tattooine, watching from afar over young Luke, his uncle Owen and aunt Beru. He is bittered, disillusioned and doesn´t want to mix in the fight anymore. But, then Empire´s Inquisitor Reva kidnaps young Leia from Alderaan and Bail Organa(Jimmy Smits from the movies) convinces Obi to return to one last fight and help save Leia, not knowing it is a trap for him.

Well, then the action and rollercoaster ride starts. New bad guys, Grand Inquisitor whom we also saw in cartoon SW Rebels series, Reva and others are spooky and eerie, but you imagine, the main bad guy and star of this series besides Obi is Darth Vader with none other than Hayden Christensen repeating the role, a bit older without mask as Anakin, but imposing as never before seen brutal and killing machine, Vader similar to the one portrayed in Rogue One. There are couple of epic fights between Obi and Vader, but we all know their destinies, so we are not so worried for them both, but we learn some great written details that were missing link between the past and movies. Actors and characters are superb, especially little Vivien Lyra Blair as ten year old Leia reminding so much of Carrie Fisher that my eyes became wet remembering her. Also, Moses Ingram as Inquisitor Reva is a great character, I heard that maybe she will get her own series. Scenes of SW fights, worlds, story, everything in this one is enough to make old SW heart beat faster with joy and your eyes wet at some moments wishing for more and more. Thank you sir, thank you Mr Lucas for bringing this fantasy to us, we will never be able to say to you how much we owe you for creating this world and universe to us legions of fans.

Italian Songwriter Devis Release New Single ‘Miss Me’ Feat. Sunset Radio!

After the release of release “Say Goodbye”, italian songwriter Devis is glad to announce the release of the new single “Miss Me”, on which he collaborated with alt-rock act Sunset Radio. The new track is available NOW in all digital platforms.

About “Miss Me” Devis says: “I’ll run through your spears, I’ll jump into the fire you lit inside me, let me dry your tears, love is not so bad or let me go away but are you ready to miss me? Is it possible to love each other so intensely to the point of crossing hell to discover that the lesser evil is the distance? Or perhaps it is better to find shelter in intermittent comfort? Love is not so bad”.
