Low tuned darkened hardcore metal TOTAL RECALL announce new single ‘Memories are Gone’ Featuring Tim Rogler (Dagger Threat)!

Total Recall was formed in March 2019 in Milan,IT by experienced musicians with 20+ years of touring experience in the metal and hardcore scene. They decided to form this band to honor the memory of a lost friend.

The band released their first full length album ‘Always Together’ via the Australian 1054 Records in July 2021 and after a series of club shows and tour in Europe and UK they unleashed a brand new 7 songs EP to the masses on April 21st 2023 after signing a new deal with the German Label Empty Shells Records.

‘The Void’ was recorded and mixed by the producer Stefano ‘Orkid’ Santi (Cripple Bastards, Forgotten Tomb, Lvcifyer) and mastered by Scott Middleton (former Cancer Bats) and it is the most mature, controversial, dark and aggressive Total Recall release to date. It keeps the rough attitude of the previous album ‘Always Together’ but it will take you to a all different musical landscape enveloping you in a world of raw anxiety and self-conscious anger.

As for the Digital Release Total Recall will unleash 1 single every month on the main digital platforms starting from March 31st with ‘No Light’ (Feat. Diego DD Cavallotti from Lacuna Coil/Inverno) followed by the new single ‘Memories are Gone’ (Feat. Tim Rogler from Dagger Threat) which is available at the following location starting from May 26th.

This is what the band has to say about their new single ‘Memories are Gone’:

‘Memories are Gone it’s a very intimate song that we particularly care about. It reflects our musical evolution and beyond. The mix of styles that can be found in the song make it perhaps one of the most representative of our path. We are extremely happy to have had Tim guest on this song. Dagger Threat are a band that contaminates a lot and they are not afraid to do it, they have been doing it well and for years, writing solid songs and maintaining a precise identity. We recognize ourselves a lot in their approach even if our styles are different.’

Post-Punk outfit The Sleeping unveils first new song in over a decade!

Post-punk outfit THE SLEEPING has unveiled the lead single off of their long-awaited new album, I Feel Like I’m Becoming A Ghost, their first new release in nearly 13 years. “The Animal” is now available worldwide via music streaming services. The song showcases the quartet’s undeniable chemistry, energy, and musicianship.

‘The Animal’ is written about the anxieties we deal with on a regular basis, when the world outside of our inner circle invades our personal space,” explains vocalist Douglas Robinson. “As we get older, our circle often gets smaller and the world around us feels a lot more intrusive.”

On I Feel Like I’m Becoming A Ghost, The Sleeping dials in their eccentric and erratic blend of ambient indie rock, post-punk, and melodic hardcore. From the uncomfortability of unknown people entering and refusing to leave your personal space (“The Animal”) to wanting to get back to the positive side of your personality (“No Light”) to battling with yourself on a regular basis (“Tainted”) to the crossing over of your personality from happy to anxious, frustrated and stressed (“Halcyon”) – I Feel Like Becoming A Ghost shines a light on mental instability.

The Sleeping formed in 2003 on Long Island. The band was founded by Cameron KeymSal Mignano, and Joe Zizzo from the remains of metalcore outfit Skycamefalling. After auditioning twenty-two potential vocalists, they came across Douglas Robinson, former singer/guitarist of the band Stillwelle.

Their live performances are known for their emotive, high-energy and tight-knit sound. They’ve toured with everyone from Jimmy Eat World to Taking Back Sunday to Bayside to ALEXISONFIRE. Their music has been featured in video games including Tony Hawk’s Downhill JamMadden NFL 07Guitar Hero III: Legends of RockGuitar Hero: World Tour, and FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage.

The band made their debut on One Day Savior Recordings with Believe What We Tell You which led them to a record deal with renowned indie label Victory Records for three full-length albums between 2006 and 2010 including Questions And AnswersWhat It Takes, and The Big Deep.

The Sleeping is Douglas Robinson (vocals), Cameron Keym (guitar, keyboard), Sal Mignano (bass), and Joe Zizzo (drums).    

Florida’s thrash/death metal band RONWE pays hommage to 90’s death metal with self-titled album

Floridian extreme metal act RONWE released its self-titled LP via Music-Records today! The band makes its love for the traditional extreme metal clear with its self-titled album, using throwbacks to 90’s and 80’s extreme metal bands such as Celtic FrostKreator,and Exodus. What makes this record unique is the occasional use of synths and keyboard lines reminiscent of Rammstein, and symphonic metal-oriented piano lines. This approach creates a duality in sound as well as showing a glimpse of an alternate timeline in which the extreme metal genre could have evolved differently. The album as a whole consists of brilliantly written groovy thrash/death metal riffs one can’t help but bob their head to.
