(new post – new single) Screaming Echoes released debut single Worlds Collide

In a stunning fusion of sound, emotion, and raw intensity, Screaming Echoes unveils its debut single Worlds Collide – a metal core track that explores the fragile boundary between hope and destruction, light and shadow.

Featuring the exceptional vocal talents of Cindy GOMES from the alternative metal band Fallen Lies and Noémie LEER, former vocalist of Rude Revelation and Elysian Gates, Worlds Collide delivers a dynamic interplay of haunting clean vocals and visceral growls.

Together, they breathe life into a world on the brink of collapse – each word, scream, and melody echoing the chaos within. The song shifts from a heavy, intense verse to a soaring, melodic chorus, incorporating a brutal breakdown with growls.
With haunting melodies, crushing riffs, and an atmosphere that balances between ethereal and aggressive, Worlds Collide makes a bold statement about duality, chaos, and connection.
Lyrically, Worlds Collide paints a vivid landscape of a fractured reality.

                                                   “Shattering hope, unraveling dreams.
                                                       Chaos reigns where we divide…”

As storms rise and illusions fall, the song explores our deepest conflicts – internal and external – ultimately asking: what strength will we find in the aftermath?

SCREAMING ECHOES is the melodic metalcore project of songwriter and guitarist Sue SCARANO, a talented artist known for her work in the bands Elysian Gates and Next Deed.

Based in Luxembourg, Sue has channeled her extensive experience and creative vision into this deeply personal endeavor, marking a new chapter in her musical journey.

Blending the raw intensity of metalcore with haunting melodies and introspective lyricism, Screaming Echoes delivers a sound that is as ferocious as it is emotionally resonant. With her distinctive songwriting style, Sue is creating a musical experience that speaks to the heart of her artistic soul, while collaborating with exceptionally talented vocalists to complete her vision.

Furthermore, this project is also proudly supported by SACEM Luxembourg.

(novi post – recenzija) Grima – Nightside(Napalm Records)

Grima dolaze iz Rusije, točnije Sibira, aktivni su od 2014. i riječ je o bendu kojeg čine dvojac blzanaca Morbius na gitari i basu i Vilhem na gitari, basu, klavijaturama i vokalima. Ovo im je šesti dugosvirajući opus i sadrži osam stvari plus intro i outro. Album otvara epska Beyond The Dark Horizon koja svojim kotrljajućim melodičnim atmosferičnim riffovima melje sve pred sobom nošena Vilhelmovim kričavim black metal izmučenim vokalima. Tekstovi su na engleskom jeziku i teme su uglavnom osobna tama, priroda i paganizam. Ima nekih dužih pjesama, ali album nijednom ne postaje dosadan u tih pedesetak minuta koliko traje. Stvari koje bi svakako još mogao izdvojiti su odlične Skull Gatherers i Flight Of The Silver Storm koje su s pravom odabrane za singlove i za koje su napravljeni spotovi, pogotovo potonja koja je savršeni spoj pagan klavijaturnih melodija i harmonike, te melankoličnih riffova sa catchy hookovima spojenim mid tempo epic black metal sa odličnom melodijom miksanom sa atmosferom brzih bubnjeva. Grima se inače na koncertima i spotovima pojavljuju maskirani u drvene maske tako da dodaju na mistici i atmosferi. Tu su još Mist And Fog, kao i Where We Are Lost koje mogu izdvojiti kao moje favorite na albumu. Odličan hladan sibirski black metal.

(new post – new single) PROJECT RENEGADE – listen to the new single No Country For White Flags

No Country For White Flags tells the story of the constant effort to realize the dreams of a man born in a place where everything is designed in such a way that his entire environment works against him. The daily struggle, the daily difficulties, the failures and the persistence in our path to find our place in this world is something we all face when we come into this world. We live it every morning when we wake up and we feel its wounds, its effects and its toil every night when we go to sleep. Every day is a war and unfortunately for us Greece is not a country for white flags.

In the musical part, we decided to let Marianna convey the message and talk about things that concern us even today. The feeling of disconnection from your home can really burden many aspects of yourself.

No Country For White Flags is our boldest and most diverse track and completes the journey to the dystopian “Ultra Terra”.

Don’t Miss It!
