After a sequence of noteworthy live performances which saw them supporting bands of the international Deathcore scene as Shadow Of Intent, To The Grave, Enterprise Earth, Angelmaker, Sign Of The Swarm and Humanity Last breath, HUMAN DECEPTION conclude a rich 2023 by releasing a single shoulder to shoulder with an established reality of the Italian Core scene, nothing less than Defamed. The track “Altar Ov Madness” is available now in all digital platforms in partnership with Superbia Music Group.

“The new track confirmed an already proven formula of epic orchestras and melodic guitar riffs with a technical drum sound mixed with blast beats that blended in an unmistakable Human Deception style: this will add esoteric and mysterious vibes to the listeners ears. The choice of Mattia Maffioli and Simone Verde as vocals guests has been a winning weapon. The Defamed guys know what they’re doing and it shows, the duet will season the song with their voices, enriching the sound with the right violence, which is requested in the genre. Despite the presence of 3 singers, everything is very distinguishable, creating an interchange of style of growls and screams. Talking about the meaning of the track, the text is inspired by the first chapters of the famous 1600 poem written by John Milton which tells of the fall of Adam and Eve, expelled from paradise deceived by the snake. The topic is a very fitting choice since the band made out of “deception” its name and banner. The Human Deception guys are keen to let their audience know that they have a lot of new music in store for 2024, just waiting for the right moment to be given to their fans but also to those who don’t know them yet. They are sure of the path they want follow and have no intention to stop. We’ll wait with trepidation to see what else these Humans have in store”.

“Altar Ov Madness” was recorded, co-produced, sound design, mixed and mastered by Jarno Bellasio at Theorem Studio, video directed by Matteo Alemanno.

Italian metalcore act MAKE IT SIMPLE have released a new single called “Get Back”, available now in all digital platform in partnership with WAR Music Management.

The main theme of the track – with Andrea Fusini – Fusix Studio and Robin Zacconi – Winter Mourning Studio at recording, mix and master – it’s a sort of rebirth after a difficult phase between depression and suicidal thoughts: “We started to work  on this track a while ago, we were waiting the right moment to release it. Our songs and their meanings are connected by a thread, putting together our influences, from NuMetal to Metalcore and a mix of Pop melodies. ‘Get Back’ was the best track to represent our moment as a band, this song talks about a rebirth, about the end of an eternal fight against suicidal thoughts and depression, after years in the dark we have the strength to get back everything that life took from us. We’re working on new projects in a determined way, we want to send a specific message and soon you’ll know what is it about”.

Italian alternative metal act Awake For Days is proud to announce the release of their new single “Betrayed”, with Cristian Machado (ex Ill Niño, Lions At The Gate) as special guest. Recorded at FuelMusic Studio in Los Angeles and produced by Eddy Cavazza for Silent Ghost International, the track is accompanied by a video directed by Sno Drake – Design & Media. About the collaboration with Machado their drummer Andrew says: “I still remember our state of mind: We had those days off and we wanted to take the chance to create something cool! We had the opportunity to meet Cristian and do this featuring with him. I immediately saw that he was a very humble and helpful person and at the same time I thought: ‘Damn, I listened to this guy sing in Ill Nino when I was just a kid. And now, I’m here, in the studio with him recording!’ It was so cool! I’m truly honored to have had the chance to work with him and can’t wait for the song to come out and share it with all our fans”.  

“Recording with Cristian was really easy and natural” continue the bassist Nic “Everything happened in few days thanks to the mediation of Addasi, our mutual friend at FuelMusic Studio in LA. Machado is a giant but with us he’s been extremely kind and helpful, a really humble person. His voice takes our single ‘Betrayed’ to a next level of sonic aggressiveness, and the Hell & Heaven festival is the PERFECT place to present this song to our audience. We are excited and determined to enjoy every moment of this crazy weekend together with the bands that have inspired us and that we have so far dreamed of meeting!”. 

And as mentioned by the artist, the band will be part of Hell & Heaven Festival on November 4th, the most important metal/alternative festival in Mexico with Slipknot, Muse and Guns’n’Roses as headliner: “Our next stop will be the Hell&Heaven fest in Mexico, one of the greatest metal festivals of all times and for us to have the opportunity to share the stage with huge bands like Slipknot, Muse and Guns & Roses is truly a dream come true, specially for four guys coming from the other side of the World! We’re sure that it’s gonna be a blast and we can’t wait to begin this heavenly trip to hell!” Matt, guitars.
