(novi post – recenzija) Anneke Van Giersbergen – La Vie E.P.

Anneke Van Giersbergen dolazi iz Nizozemske i poznata je po svojem radu odnosno pjevanju u The Gathering i Vuur, a ovo je njen solo E.P. koji se sastoji od 4 pjesama. Za one koji očekuju ovdje žešći metal ili gothiku bolje da ne pokušavaju slušati ovaj E.P. Što imamo ovdje? Neku vrst miksa melodičnog rocka i popa s ponešto žešćih gitara i Annekinog izvrsnog pjevanja koje je stvarno moćno, melodično i stvara ježenje na koži kada se sluša pjesme kao što su One More Nanosecond ili More Than A Thousand Words. Klavijaturni pasaži su bogati, stvaraju soundscape koji te jednostavno odvede u neku drugu dimenziju slušajući ove pjesme. Ovo je malo mirnija muzika, ali sve u svemu odličan E.P. za malo smirenja od sve žestine koju slušam uobičajeno.

Alt Rock/Dream Pop band Female President release new single “Enflamed In Effigy”

Alt Rock/Dream pop band Female President release new single “Enflamed In Effigy”

Female President is writing and recording their second EP ‘The Healing Ritual’. Healing is a tough and chaotic process, it often takes pain and discomfort to create motivation to change. Often when you work on making your life or circumstances better, you find yourself surrounded by strangers and outside of your comfort zone. The Healing Ritual explores the roller coaster ride from pain to peace.

“Enflamed In Effigy” was a slow burn, building in stages since 2020. The riff, tempo, and melody came to Dréa in 2020, tuning in like a distant radio signal, crackling static with power riffs breaking through. The lyrics came in layers, all inspired by current events and world tragedies. Mother is Earth, but Mother is also the broken-hearted mom helplessly watching the smoldering ashes of the home she built rise into the air, holding the remains of her dying child in a war-torn country or sending her sickly kids to bed hungry again while other children mine cobalt for cell phones and executives make the ozone bigger with luxurious travel. We are standing on the brink of massive change, we can’t go back to ignorance. We have to push through and make this world a better place.

ABOUT FEMALE PRESIDENT

An American family trio inspired by early roots of rock n roll; simplistic riffs that groove and dynamics that build to a fever pitch. Starting during the pandemic as a way to cope with canceled tours and shuttered venues, Female President writes songs with an honest grit and emotional vibe that you can groove to and rock out. Combining their unique playing styles and genuine love of music, Female President is an energized modern rock band with a sound all its own.

FLOYA announce debut album & release new single ‘Drift’

FLOYA have announced their debut album Yume, due for release on 8th March via Arising Empire. The band have also released a video for their new single ‘Drift’.

Check out the video for ‘Drift’ here: https://youtu.be/2_3E183meUI

Pre-order available here: https://arisingempire.com/yume

‘Drift’ is filled with genre-bending moments and conveys a clear message: do what you love, there’s not enough time for anything else. The duo elevate listeners with powerful, airy synths, Marv’s romantic guitar riffs, and Phil’s unmistakable, angelic voice.

I don’t think I’ve ever written a song this honest before,” says vocalist Phil. “I’ve grappled with ambivalent emotions toward my career, to be completely transparent. There were moments when I doubted whether I could continue doing what I love. I turned my back on music for a while and, as a result, lost a significant part of my identity. ‘Drift’ is about precisely that: dealing with ambivalence, overcoming doubts, and enabling you to continue doing what you love.

Hailing from Germany, Marv Wilder and Phil Bayer found common ground by talking about their childhood influences, namely Peter Gabriel, U2 & Sting.

Since the release of their debut single ‘Wonders’ in March 2022, FLOYA have amassed over eight million streams on Spotify alone. Their single ‘The Hymn’ was featured in an official AFL game between Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs on Australian television; an impressive achievement for a newly launched act. FLOYA have also received significant airplay from Kerrang! Radio (UK) and Radio Contact (BE).

FLOYA are:

Phil Bayer | vocals

Marv Wilder | guitar
