And now for something completely in this webzine. Arcade Destiny hails from Anaheim, California and this release contains five songs. This is a one man band playing nineties punk influenced synthwave electronic music and it sounds interesting, but not something for every day listening. Music is almost fast hardcore punk but synth melodies replace guitars and in my opinion there is a bit too much effect on vocals, because the guy sings okay, and I would love to hear more clean vocals melodies then it would be like all those California pop/melodic/skate punk bands, but I understand that this is the way to keep originality and not sound like someone’s clone or copy. This is chaotic, beautiful little EP and my personal favorite is ‘Not Like The Other Girls’. Lyrics are personal and deal with relationships, communication, mental health…I love the lyrics on this one! Imagine listening to fast hardcore skatepunk with synths instead of guitars and if that idea is not too horrifying for you give this one a chance!
Industrial musician and artist (creator of the AEW superstars ‘The House of Black’ masks) Ivan King, has released a new single named “Extinction” with a sci-fi/horror themed video, directed by himself, at the following link:
The songs is the first of the new singles following up the success of the debut EP “The Ballad of the Dead Man” released in 2020, which is reaching 1M listens. You can follow and find more about the artist at the following link:
After the release of the track in all digital platforms, Chaidura is back with the official music video of ‘With You‘, a touching song with an interesting mix of elements as electro, emo and metal. Hailing from Singapore and currently based in London, Chaidura is an alternative rock artist with a penchant for creating fresh melodies, incorporating an amalgamation of various influences.
About the new video the artist says: ‘A man sits alone in front of a television playing a video game. Little does he know, the girl within the game is real and living in a tiny cell like room inside of the television. As the television glitches, he notices her from time to time, and decides that he needs to save her from this prison. He sees her trying to escape, pushing the television screen outwards. He reaches to help her, but eventually gets sucked into her 2D world. Who saved who, we wonder? The music video was done in collaboration with Hei Studio from Singapore and filmed at Verta Collective Singapore’.
