NaMinimumu from Zadar, Croatia is by no means stranger to the pages of this webzine. I reviewed their release back in the day. NaMinimumu is a one man band from Zadar, Croatia and plays rock, punk and metal, with lots of melody and energy. This is is the second album in English language and it contains seven songs. It is a concept album with themes of transhumanism, artificial intelligence, and cosmic evolution. It tells about a story of a future where humans can upload their minds to digital platforms, achieve immortality, and interact with cyborgs and robots. However, this utopian vision is not without its dangers, as some of these entities may have sinister motives and pose a threat to the natural order. Musically, this album is very catchy, with lots of guitar melodies, yet not missing harshness, some delving into doom metal sector like for example ‘Life to Eternity’. Production wise album is superb. Vocals are melodic yet harsh at times when they need to be harsh, with catchy choruses with melodies bordering on anthemic. I love this album and songs like ‘Cyborgs’, and ‘Children of the Stars’ being my favorites with above mentioned ‘Life to Eternity’, also ‘Upload Your Mind’. Go get this one because it is a good piece of music.
Soulprison have released their new single Lucid Nightmare. The song is taken from the upcoming EP, which is also called “Lucid Nightmare” and is expected to be released by the end of this year. You can also stream the track on Spotify. Enjoy!
Nakon singla “Oduzmi sve”, koprivnički bend LoM objavio je video za pjesmu “Djevojka” koja donosi punokrvnu energiju onoga što LoM predstavlja. Talentirani trio u ovom singlu predstavlja spoj tradicionalne glazbe s modernim žanrovima u bolnoj priči djevojke koja čeka na muškarca koji nikad ne dolazi. Duboka povezanost etna, rocka i elektronike, koja se najviše manifestira u “Djevojci”, specijalnost je benda LoM, a s pjesmom “Djevojka” osvojili su drugo mjesto na ovogodišnjem Demofestu u Banja Luci. Progresija “Djevojke” je upravo takva, gdje ona njega doziva, pjeva mu, te joj na kraju pjesme već dozlogrdi čekati nekoga tko nikad neće doći. Okreće se sebi i počinje plesati sama sa sobom te shvaća da je tako zapravo i sretna. Vješto oko iza kamere bilo je ono uvijek pouzdanog Dinka Šimca, koji je za LoM još snimio „Svemir“ i „Kosu“. Koncept i montažu spota potpisuje svestrani osnivač i basist benda Aleksandar Rapaić. Spot je sniman na imanju Stari zanati Hlebinama, selu nadomak Koprivnice, u kojem je nastala naivna umjetnost. Odjeća transformirane djevojke ukrašena je tradicionalnim vezom Koprivničkog Ivanca kojeg su posebno za ovu prigodu izvezle članice udruge DIF Koprivnički Ivanec. Master pjesme potpisuje audio majstor Filip Motovunski.
