Russian Stoner/Doom metal band Astrosail release new album “Целое”

Leave a comment

Having gathered in 2015, already in 2016 the band released their debut EP “Океан”. After a few gigs in cult Moscow underground clubs, the band took a break and came back in 2023 with a new album “Целое”.

“Целое” is a concept album, and have the central idea is unity, in the broad sense of the word. Past and future, inner and outer, material and spiritual. As one of the songs of the album says: “the parts are not so important, only the indivisible matters”. Each song on the album is imbued with the idea of the unity of all things, slowly leading the listener to this idea.

The track “Здесь”, which opens the album and was released as a single. This song is about being present in the now, not in the past or the future, about realizing yourself in the moment. The band plans to release a music video for this song early next year.

After a two-year break they went on an expedition to the Altai Mountains in Russia and it is there that they realize how their next album should sound, what it should tell about. Having got out of noisy cities and being alone with nature, the concept of the album was born by itself – Unity, in the broadest sense of the word. The album title was chosen right away – “Целое” (Whole).

The sound of the album is aggressive, but at the same time enveloping. This is due to the occult and almost church-like vocal lines, which act as an additional instrument to create atmosphere, rather than taking a central role in the mix. In this sound, in this atmosphere, it seems to them that they have found theirselves and it is in this direction that they plan to work further.

Backdrop Falls releases ‘Closer to the edge’, the first single from upcoming album ‘Fairytales and Fireworks’!

Leave a comment

With a mix of reflective lyrics, alternative rock riffs and pop-punk sensibilities, Backdrop Falls returns with the release of new single “Closer to the edge”.

The era of social networks brought with it the imposition of the need to impress, to be interesting to other people. It is more important to appear than to be, in fact. Looking cool, looking cool, looking smart, successful, happy… while trying to look like all of these, we lose track of who we are. The track is a reflection on that atmosphere and its impact on our mental health. “Closer to the edge” is a song with a direct and strong message, with super striking riffs and an unusual energy.

The quartet was formed in 2016 in the coastal city of Fortaleza, Brazil, after being conceived and created by vocalist/guitarist/composer Matheus Collyer. Starting out as a studio project, they became a full band shortly after the release of their first EP, as they began touring their hometown, taking their first steps and opening for bigger bands on the national scene.

Formed by Collyer (guitar/vocals), Rafael Neutral (guitar), Roger Capone (drums) and Marcelino Oliveira (bass), the band released their first full length in May 2019, entitled “There’s no such place as home”, which was distributed worldwide through 10 different labels.

Throughout their career, the group toured Latin America and played alongside bands such as Sum 41, Against Me, Face to Face and Hellacopters. The band has just released what they call the first chapter of three of their new album “Fairytales and Fireworks”, to be fully released between 2022 and 2023.

“Closer to the edge” is available on all streaming platforms via Electric Funeral Records: https://onerpm.link/698131497516
