  • “No Way Out” — Italian Post-Punk Trio This Eternal Decay Share Unsettling Video for “BREATHE IN SILENCE”

    I walk in circles

    Same old ground

    I pull you closer

    Just to fall down

    Depression doesn’t hit like a thunderclap; it slips in like a room losing air by degrees. At first, you name it fatigue, bad weather of the spirit, a private season. Then the chair grows heavier, the glass across the table more distant, the morning an accusation. It presses without hands. It teaches the lungs to bargain with the body. A man may still walk, speak, smile, and answer mail while inwardly lying under a fallen house. What is terrible is its patience: how it makes suffocation ordinary, until breath itself feels like mercy borrowed from a world that has forgotten your name.

    This Eternal Decay’s BREATHE IN SILENCE takes depression out of the private room and drops it into a hostile public hallucination, where every wall has a pulse, every face feels like surveillance, and every breath arrives as contested territory. The Italian industrial dark-wave trio (Riccardo Sabetti of Spiral69, Andrea Freda of Spiritual Front, and Alessio Schiavi of Avant-Garde) builds the track from black glass, club smoke, and dodgy electricity, with darkwave elegance dragged through industrial unease and synthpop’s icy sheen.

    Musically, the single moves with a stern, mechanical grace. The beat hits like a heart trying to keep order during collapse, while the synths and guitars throw cold illumination across the track’s bruised interior. There is drama, certainly, but no cheap theatrical wink. This Eternal Decay treats pain as atmosphere, machinery, and trapdoor, giving the viewer no cozy distance from the subject.

    The video, made with CGI, archival footage, and AI-driven image manipulation, gives BREATHE IN SILENCE” the quality of a corrupted memory trying to identify its own assailant. Figures blur, spaces warp, and the body seems trapped inside an environment that has learned how to think cruelly. What begins as visual distortion turns into a psychological climate: claustrophobia, social panic, and the sense of being surrounded by invisible, hostile entities that know exactly where to press. The images bend toward nightmare without losing their grip on the real, which makes them worse. A bad dream can be dismissed at breakfast; this one follows you into daylight.

    There is a blunt, ugly truth in the premise: depression can crush slowly, almost politely, until the lungs become negotiators and joy becomes contraband. This Eternal Decay makes that internal violence feel external, turning those mean voices in the head into glitching presences that chew through ambition and poison ordinary movement. The video understands how social anxiety can transform a room into a tribunal, how a crowd can become a ceiling, how silence can grow teeth.

  • PffT – ‘A Modern Take on Classic Fusion,’ from the creator of ProgJect – Tour dates revealed

    Similar to ProgJect- The Ultimate Prog Rock Experience, Jonathan Mover has assembled a variety of medleys, as a tribute and homage to the masters of fusion, a.k.a., Jeff Beck, Billy Cobham, Allan Holdsworth, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Tony Williams, Weather Report, and Brand X, to begin with. Also similar to ProgJect, this music is not easy to play nor is it for the faint of heart, it was going to take a select few from an even smaller pool to choose from in order to make this other “dream gig” come true.

    Mike Keneally was Mover’s first thought, “On any instrument he wants to play,” and happily welcomed Mike’s immediate reply, “Absolutely! Can I play keyboards?” Done. It was Keneally that recommended Bryan Beller on bass, someone Mover was very familiar with but had not had the opportunity to play with, until now. The guitar spot was the last to fill. There were the obvious fusion monsters out there, but one ‘new name’, recommended by many, kept coming up, “Andrew Synowiec,” so Mover started making calls. The initial response from several was, “This sounds amazing, please send me some medleys to check out.” The next response was, “This stuff IS amazing, but would take way too many brain cells,” except for one… Andrew Synowiec, “I’m down.”

    And thus, PffT was formed.

    ********

    Debuting July 2026 in the Los Angeles Area, with national dates to follow.

    Wed July 15 The Baked Potato Studio City, CA
    Thur July 16 The Baked Potato Studio City, CA
    Fri July 17 Bornemann Theatre San Marcos, CA
    Sun July 19 Alvas Showroom San Pedro, CA

    Spanish melodic death metal powerhouse BLOODHUNTER have officially released their brand-new studio album Sons Of The Abandoned” via ROAR – A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music.  

    Marking this milestone, the band are not only kicking off a run of Spanish live dates alongside CRYPTA today, but are also premiering a brand-new music video for “Masters Of Deceive”, one of the album’s most dynamic and emotionally charged tracks. 

    Guitarist Dani Arcos comments“This song is insane. We mixed guttural and melodic vocals, slow and melodic choruses with the most extreme riffs on the album… and there’s even a recorded piano that you only realize has been there the whole time at the end of the song.”

    Vocalist Diva Satánica adds“This song includes my very first clean backing vocals in BLOODHUNTER. I really wanted to give it a try because it represented the eternal disappointment of people trying to pull out from me a different version of myself but which I didn’t really feel identified with as a vocalist. This song speaks about toxic environments and how hard is to step out from there to follow your own path. It was the first song that we wrote for this album: it goes from a very dramatic chorus to the most enraged verses, to represent the complex dynamics in a relationship.”

    Formed in Galicia, BLOODHUNTER have steadily carved their name into the international extreme metal scene through relentless touring, uncompromising sound and a clear artistic vision. Fronted by Diva Satanica, the band blends extreme metal aggression with melodic depth, groove and narrative ambition, forging a sound that is both ferocious and emotionally charged. 

    Since their inception, BLOODHUNTER have stood out for their conceptual approach and strong identity. Their music has always balanced brutality with atmosphere, drawing from themes such as ancient civilizations, power, human conflict and transcendence. Over the years, the band has evolved naturally, refining their songwriting and pushing beyond genre boundaries without losing their aggressive core.

    “Sons Of The Abandoned”, produced by Tue Madsen, marks a turning point in BLOODHUNTER’s career. It is their most personal and honest album so far, shifting the focus inward to explore identity, vulnerability, personal struggle and the cost of pursuing one’s own path.

    For the first time, the lyrics speak directly from the heart, addressing inner demons, toxic environments, generational disconnection and the feeling of being lost in a world driven by individuality and superficial values. Musically, the album expands the band’s palette. Crushing riffs coexist with elegant grooves and striking melodic passages, while sharp contrasts define the songwriting: rage against beauty, speed against atmosphere, darkness against clarity.

    With “Sons Of The Abandoned”, BLOODHUNTER solidify themselves as a band unafraid to evolve, challenge expectations and expose their own scars. This is not just another extreme metal album, it is a statement of identity, resistance and survival in a world that constantly demands compromise.
