Post Alternative Rock Act The Behaviour Release The Dark And Introspective New Album “A Sin Dance”

The Behaviour is excited to announce the release of the album, A Sin Dance. The album is available worldwide on all streaming platforms.Recorded throughout 2022, this album features seven new tracks entirely written, arranged, and performed by Der Baron M. Kilpatric.

These songs are the first to showcase Kilpatric’s unique songwriting style and wide ranging musical abilities. Culled from a wealth of material written over the past few years, these were specifically selected for their dynamic, eclectic, and diverse nature to give but a taste of what is to come.

Two singles precipitated the release, “Burning of the Neon Dream (Radio Edit)” and “An Untouchable Relic (Radio Edit)”, which bring together elements of 80’s goth/shoegaze and 90’s alternative rock in a contemporary and modern sounding style.

The Behaviour

The Behaviour is a gothic inspired post-alternative rock group created by Der Baron M. Kilpatric in 2020. The album was entirely written, arranged, and performed by Kilpatric himself. While currently located in New England, this album culminated from his time residing in Colorado and the Midwest while marinating in the sounds of Jeff Buckley, Soundgarden, Slint, Killing Joke, Pink Floyd, Leonard Cohen, my bloody valentine, David Bowie, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and countless others.

After spending over 20 years of his prolific career contributing to writing, recording, and/or performing as the drummer for such groups as Black Light Burns, The Esoteric, Seaspin, Kylesa, F- Minus, Crisis, and Today is the Day, to name a few, Kilpatric has stepped forward to present this mesmerizing and affecting creation.

The Behaviour as a perfect and effective representation of the sounds, melodies, and noises heard in his head and ringing in his ears for quite some time. While being a catharsis, purging, and execution of shadow work in its purest form of expression, this record is merely a prologue.

The music is dark and melancholic on the surface, yet underneath the richly textured layers are introspective messages of redemption, healing, and renewal found through experienced loss and traumas. It expresses the true essence of finding one’s self in his/her sober reflection and through the interpersonal relationships of self, others, and environment.

Albert Olli comments:
“This is the first song I wrote for this album, so it had the honor to be the first single as well. This song basically kickstarts the album and it has all the main elements of a Notio-song: catchy melodies, strong drums and wide vocal range. Lyrically this song is about how different stimuli from the external world shape the person’s perception of the world, hence the album’s name Worldview.”

Finnish Blackened Death Metal band Saasta releases first song and a music video from their upcoming EP!

Hailing from Kotka, Finland, Blackened Death Metal band Saasta will release their new EP “Black | Death | Doom” on December 5th 2023. The first single “Sickness” and music video of the opus in question is released on November 2nd. The band’s debut album “Crucial to None” was released in November 2022.

Founded together with the drummer Jimi Lahtinen, the band’s guitarist Topias Jokipii comments on the freshly released single: “The song presents a reborn, dirtier and in its own beautiful way, a more obnoxious kind of Saasta. After I shifted from a guitarist-singer to solely playing guitar, Mr Leevi Kärsämä had the guts to step in as a singer. This change gave Saasta a new life and the band truly found themselves, both musically and visually, and that can be clearly heard on the new release. The merciless playing style of the band’s bassist Janne Hietanen supports the music of a metal band with only one guitar perfectly, and thus, maybe even a little unorthodoxly, the bass is raised to be an equal instrument with the guitar, instead of presenting a steady, boring low register. The artwork of the EP describes perfectly the visual side of Saasta, which is incredibly important to us when playing live shows.”

Saasta has also released a music video for the single “Sickness”. The video is a merciless description of an individual fallen beyond the safety nets of society, and to what an extreme sickness of mind can lead to.
