Hamburg heavy hitters Half Me are back and more heated than ever with new single ‘Quitter Talk’, following on from the exhilarating ‘Concrete Ceiling’, which dropped late last year.

Losing a battle, fighting a war. On this new single, Half Me deal with inner turmoil manifesting in addiction – loud and without compromise.

Formed in Hamburg in 2018, Half Me – guitarists Chris and Julius, vocalist Chris, drummer Max and bassist Tobias -are one of the latest additions to the Arising Empire roster. Musically, Half Me blend a modern rendition of metal and hardcore with highlights of 90s nu-metal. Pounding riffs and breakdowns are accompanied by brutal, yet sometimes elegant, vocals that all balance together to formulate the band’s own distinctive sound. 

In just a few years, Half Me have made an impact in the music scene by self-producing their music and videos, displaying their intensive and energetic demeanour. Debuting with four singles initially, it was their their single ‘Exitwound’ (featuring Jack Bergin of Void of Vision) that gave the group a breakthrough and landed the band in the spotlight of Knotfest’s Countdown to Oblivion.

Riding the high of their recent success, Half Me’s highly anticipated debut album SOMA was met with huge critical acclaim. 2024 promises to be a big year or this firey quintet.

French metalcore quintet LANDMVRKS return with a video for their brand new single ‘Creature’, out now via Arising Empire.

The band teamed up with cinematic genius Pavel Trebukhin (TriviumImminence) in collaboration with Le Turk for the music video, which has a distinct Stranger Things feel, blending eerie mystery with LANDMVRKS‘ explosive energy. 

Stream ‘Creature’ here: https://arisingempire.com/creature

After dedicating time to honing their craft, LANDMVRKS emerge with what they confidently call their “best ever result.” ‘Creature’ is more than a song; it’s an experience that encapsulates the essence of the band’s evolution and their relentless pursuit of musical excellence. The single confirms their commitment to pushing boundaries and delivers a unique, immersive experience for their fans.

The band comment: 

“‘Creature’ is the first single from LANDMVRKS‘ new chapter, which explores the fears we bury deep inside ourselves instead of exploring and facing up to them. They end up resurfacing even stronger. The creature taking possession of the body is a metaphor for this.”

LANDMVRKS will embark on a European/UK headline tour later this year, with special guests The Devil Wears Prada and Like Moths To Flames. A full list of confirmed dates can be found below.
