Leave a comment

Romanian Modern Metalcore band Taking Back August has released “Another Day To Live”, their latest single!

The new song is built around corrosive, massive riffs, over which a volcanic rhythm is cleverly arranged. Alex Precup’s voice pierces your heart like a drill thanks to its dual nature: Heaven and Hell.

The atmospheric synths enhance the sound of the song, giving it a special flavor and stirring up waves of emotions in you, the listener.

The band comments on the new single:

For each of us, the song symbolizes an episode in life that we had to face head-on without looking back.

It presents a broader view of where we envision going in our style, with softer parts, more technically diverse synths, and alternating clean and screaming voices.

Modern Metalcore band Taking Back August hails from Bucharest, Romania. The band was formed in 2020 by musicians Alex Precup (vocals), Claudiu Ene (bass), George Motei (guitar), Alex Iliescu (guitar), and Moroianu Gabriel (drums).

Over the first two years of its existence, Taking Back August experienced and overcome many challenges, including participating in the Posada Rock and Metal Gates festivals. Alex Precup (vocals) competed and ranked second in the Superstar Romania 2021 competition!

The first single, “Welcome Home”, was released in October 2020 along with a lyric video. The song’s message, a well-crafted one, managed to overcome the barriers imposed by the listeners’ expectations. Following the release of the first single, the band began working hard on its first record, the EP “The Devil’s Crown” – released in September 2021.

Currently, the five members of the band are composing the songs to be featured on the first studio album, which will be released at the end of 2022.

Swiss metalcore/progressive/modern-metal five-piece SINEQUANON shared debut full-length album ‘Hope Brings Us Together’ for full streaming on YouTube // Out now on CD & Digital through the main legal platforms.

A couple of weeks after the official release of their debut full-length effort, Swiss metalcore/progressive/modern metal quintet, SINEQUANON also shared the whole record for free streaming on YouTube.

For reminder, the album – featuring and produced by Kris Norris from Darkest Hour, Threat Signal, Scar The Martyr…) – is still available on CD & Digital through Bandcamp and the main legal services (Apple Music, Spotify, iTunes, Tidal…)

SINQUANON is a Swiss metalcore project from Monthey founded in 2018 by Yann Savoini. His music is characterized above all by a balance of nuances. Poetic and sharp, light and furious at the same time, he releases all his sensitivity and his sincerity through strong and committed messages. Multi-instrumentalist, Yann composes and records all instruments. Then add different textures of keyboards and layers of voices that blend together, creating a real cocktail of (un)saturated colors. A surprising travel between radically different atmospheres composed of stormy breakdowns, apocalyptic rhythms and soothing cleans. Everything is enhanced by catchy and groovy choruses with an effective voice performance. Live, Benjamin Haeberli (drums), Johann Seydoux (guitar), Marco Ballerini (guitar) and Alex Jentsch (bass) join the combo to transcribe all the intensity of the compositions on stage. Yann takes the microphone for the occasion and leads the dance. The band is delighted to be on stage at many venues and festivals in Switzerland and all around the world to convey their message, enthusiasm and passion for music. Sinequanon joins AEON Music Management and plans to release the first album in 2021. American producer Kris Norris (formerly Darkest Hour, ex-Scar The Martyrs) joins the project in January 2019 to bring his experience. A solo adventure that started in a bedroom and will grow on roads around the world.
