3 months after sharing the song “Exophronicon” with its official music video, French long-time conceptual metal band (formed in 1999) Mindlag Project just officially released a new digital single called ‘Shrapnel’ on all legal streaming services.
In other news, the band is currently working on a new full-length album to be released in the upcoming months.
..Official statement..
‘This track ‘Shrapnel’ is a song inspired by the personal history of the ancestors of several members of the band, who participated in both world wars.
It evokes the cynicism of martial strategies, with the invention of the shrapnel shell, the purpose of which was to ‘break’ soldiers rather than kill them, because it would cost the opposing camp more to take charge of a wounded rather than a dead one. A voucher soldier is a useful soldier, in all circumstances…’
LA Based, 5 piece band FUSED BY DEFIANCE has released the official music video for their new single, ‘Will Of A Warrior.’ With the music video directed by: Vicente Cordero of Industrialism Films, ‘Will Of A Warrior’ was produced by the band themselves and mixed / mastered by Joshua Wickman.
The unadulterated ball of defiant energy known as Fused by Defiance (FxD), blends heavy riff driven rock, metal, and rap with social conscious lyrics. This dominant force continues to rise in popularity due to their memorable songs and highly energetic live performances.
Since their inception in 2012, these Los Angeles natives always leave an unforgettable impression on their audiences which allows them to open alongside national acts such as Nonpoint, Soulfly, The Offspring, Sum 41, Puddle of Mudd, Crazytown, Fear Factory, Eyes Set To Kill, Buckcherry, P.O.D., Alien Ant Farm, and Blue Oyster Cult. The band also has experience playing festival stages at Vans Warped Tour and 95.5fm KLOS Sabroso Fest. With the intention of social progress, this fearless five-piece has a reputation for defying the status quo in such an electric way that listeners are inspired to open their minds. This especially rings true in their newest EP Manifest. FxD defines Manifest as the surreal, and often ethereal, experience of turning your dreams into reality. Only by recognizing and taking responsibility for life’s obstacles can one redirect and refocus to achieve their dream. FxD wishes to continue to inspire their listeners to adjust, grow, and push forward until their dreams come to fruition.

Acclaimed rock dark metal band LAMORI is set to enthrall fans once again with the release of their latest single and accompanying lyric video, ‘Never Alone.’ The track, which offers a unique blend of haunting romanticism and dystopian science fiction, serves as a precursor to their highly anticipated album, ‘NEON BLOOD FIRE.’
‘Never Alone’ transports listeners to a near-future world teetering on the edge of self-destruction, where two lovers dare to face the chaos surrounding them and unearth the chilling secrets of their own existence. Against the backdrop of a dying sun, they cling to the enigmatic cyber-legend known as The Athanasia Project. The track’s compelling narrative weaves a tragic tale of love and loss, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who dare to venture into LAMORI’s dark and enchanting realm.
LAMORI’s band members, including Matias Juselius (vocals), Marcus Pellas (guitar), Mikael Westerlund (bass), Jens Wickholm (keys), and Emanuel Sanchez (drums), have poured their artistic vision into ‘Never Alone.’ Demonstrating their versatility, the band chose to include a slightly softer song within their repertoire of hard-hitting bangers, a tradition they’ve maintained across their previous albums. ‘Never Alone’ seamlessly blends heartfelt emotions with a powerful musicality, culminating in a bridge that delivers an intense punch, emblematic of LAMORI’s signature style.
