Just three weeks after their last release, VELVET CHAINS has made their newest single, “Eyes Closed,” available on all digital platforms. The song is a modern power ballad that touches upon themes of indulgence, fixation, self-obsession and anguish. Released on October 4th on the band’s official YouTube channel and on October 5th on all streaming platforms, the single delivers some of the band’s best work thanks to the extraordinary production work by talented writer/producer duo THE HEAVY (YUNGBLUD, LOVELYTHEBAND, ENRIQUE INGLESIAS), and the immaculate mixing & mastering done by industry top brass JOSHUA WILBUR (KORN, LAMB OF GOD, AVENGED SEVENFOLD).
The single has a vividly crafted and deeply artistic music video, filmed and directed by JULIAM OYAMEDEL (NITA STRAUSS, BLACK VEIL BRIDES, IN FLAMES), an up & coming prodigy within the music film industry. The video also features the jaw-dropping acrobatics of renowned aerialist PRISCILLA SOMOGIE, who steals the show thanks to her gravity-defying, intensely passionate performance. RO VIPER, the band’s front-man, comments: “The beauty within this passionately dark video stems from the contrasts you are presented with; on one hand you have temptation in the form of a beautiful woman, while on the other you can feel the suffering portrayed throughout the lyrics and the music”.
VELVET CHAINS emerged on the scene in 2018, and soon attracted attention for their energetic music with deep meanings, bringing new life to the contemporary rock scene. In 2023, they carried out a successful South American tour, in which they played as open act for STONE TEMPLE PILOTS and TTHE WINERY DOGS, in addition to having a remarkable performance at the Summer Breeze Brasil festival, alongside giants such as SEPULTERA, LAMB OF GOD and SKID ROW, among others.
“Eyes Closed” is the band’s third release this year, and features the current lineup of: RO VIPER (vocals), NILS GOLDSCHMIDT (bass), BURTON CAR and LAHI CASSIANO (guitars), and JASON HOPE (drums).

Finnish-French ghost rock band The Nearlies releases third and final single before their upcoming sophomore album “Fresh Memories” to be released on November 17th 2023. The song “Revelations” reflect anger, frustration and fear but also hope, love and the gratifying feeling of well-deserved revenge. Melancholy is provided to the listener with a touch of humor.
The Nearlies was formed some 15 years ago in France. Future bass player and guitarist were seeking other options than excessive wine drinking for their leisure time. Starting with instrumental music they soon realised that adding vocals was compulsory to open the doors of local concert venues. After auditioning one singer it was decided that the bassist must sing. Fast-forwarding to 2019, the duo met their missing wheel, percussionist Derico Da Purificacao. Things moved rapidly and first album Ghost Rock was released in 2020. After a few years of practising and brainstorming, maybe a few bottles of wine, comes Fresh Memories in autumn 2023. It’s a collection of melodies and thoughts they have gone through with these complicated times On the more serious note, the guitarist had some experience from years before, playing with Mama & The Darkbreakers in early 90’s in Pohjanmaa and late 90’s with B-fly in Helsinki.
