With CCTV, Ghosts on TV unveil the first glimpse of their upcoming album Iridescent, blending shoegaze haze with post-rock atmosphere. The Helsinki-based band builds a slow-burning wall of sound where shimmering guitars, subtle synth textures, and melancholic vocals merge into something both dreamy and uneasy. Beneath the luminous sonic surface lies a darker reflection on modern division, digital echo chambers, and social alienation. That contrast between comforting soundscapes and bleak lyrical themes gives the track its emotional weight. CCTV feels expansive yet intimate, balancing beauty and unease in a quietly powerful statement.

Griffin Brown’s DRAW blends woozy indie rock with experimental electronic textures, creating a sound that feels both restless and unpredictable. Driven by a pulsing groove and an unresolved chorus, the track captures the uneasy feeling of starting something without knowing how—or if—it will ever reach completion. Brown’s songwriting leans into that tension, balancing abstract lyricism with a hypnotic musical structure. The production shifts subtly between organic and electronic elements, reflecting his genre-blurring artistic approach. DRAW stands as a compelling introduction to Brown’s evolving sonic world—ambitious, curious, and deliberately open-ended.

ORAEN’s Going Nowhere is a fast-paced burst of guitar-driven alt rock fueled by urgency and sharp social awareness. Crunching riffs and punchy rhythms push the track forward with relentless momentum, while the vocals deliver frustration with clarity and conviction. Beneath its energetic surface lies a pointed reflection on cycles of inaction and the feeling of watching the same problems repeat without progress. Yet the song never slips into resignation—instead, it carries a stubborn sense of resistance. Going Nowhere blends raw energy with big hooks, turning frustration into a powerful, anthemic release.

Polish Black Metal band VARMIA release the third single from their upcoming lauks album out later this month. The stirring and powerful song is available on all streaming/download platforms.

In Polish, the word “północ” means both “the north” and “midnight”, while “dzień” means “day,” explains singer/guitarist Lasota. “This is an anthem to our northern wilderness, to the land of wolf packs, ancient forests, and pure waters. This is the chant that resonates through every day spent here. The day of the North!”

Accompanied by a music video produced by VARMIA and featuring footage by Alan Krasuski and Lasota, it complements the song and the Polish black metal band’s aesthetic.

Watch HERE: https://youtu.be/zNm-m7LLdVc?si=z7yTrQeR5BQxl8e

“dzień, pół nocy” follows previous single “der tot Adalbert” and “Zwykli Zmarli” which all preview the band’s anticipated new album ‘lauks’ out March 27^th

“This album is the quintessence of our understanding of natural, raw intensity, teetering on the verge of chaos,” states Lasota. “As always, we recorded it live – this time among the ruins of one of the many castles still standing on our land. Within its empty, derelict halls, we discovered a new dimension of musical naturalism. The aura of the place is embedded into the sound, reverberating through the slower hits of the instruments. The title ‘lauks’ refers to the way our ancestors coexisted in groups of communes or settlements. In the context of this album, it signifies identity, territorial instinct, and the sharp line between us and them.“

‘lauks’ is a much more straight forward and intense VARMIA raging through a darkened journey of raw primal black metal that still clings to their Baltic roots abetted by adding in traditional instrumentation and percussion.

Available now for pre-order on limited-edition (300) “warm blood” colored vinyl (with insert and download code), jewelcase CD with 12-page booklet or digital.

VARMIA was formed in 2016 by composer Lasota with a mission of fusing black metal with musical influences that pay tribute to the ancient Baltic tribes of the historical Warmia region of northern Poland. Vocally, harsh growls shroud the band’s music and native Polish lyrics in a visceral aura, the only breaks occurring when using the traditional, ancient technique of “whitevoice” clean singing as utilized during ancient East-Central European rituals, rites of passage and festivals.

Meanwhile, the power of the band’s metal influences are enhanced by traditional ethnic instrumentation of the Baltic Rites via sounds of tagelharpa, goat horn, lyre (gęśle), tribal drums, wood tuba and krivula. The final result is a compelling mix of dark metallic sounds that channel the spirit of early Enslaved, Satyricon and Wolves in the Throne Room and folk elements that drive acts such as Wardruna and Heilung.

VARMIA have released four albums to date – 2017’s Z mar twych, 2018’s W ciele nie, 2021’s bal Lada, (their first collaborating with M-Theory Audio), and 2023’s Nie Nas Widze.

Zahra Deljoui’s Medical Misogyny is a fierce, chant-driven alt-pop protest that confronts the systemic dismissal of women’s pain in healthcare. Built on dark electronic textures, distorted synths, and industrial tension, the track channels urgency and defiance from the first beat. Deljoui’s vocal delivery carries both vulnerability and strength, transforming personal experience into a wider call for awareness and change. The song’s stark production amplifies its message, creating an atmosphere that feels confrontational and unfiltered.

Medical Misogyny stands as a bold and uncompromising statement—both deeply personal and powerfully political.

Macadamian’s Rewired Mind dives into the restless world of intrusive thoughts and late-night mental spirals. Built around a tense indie-rock framework, the track captures the uneasy feeling of ideas that start small but slowly grow until they dominate the mind. Driving guitars and a steady rhythmic pulse mirror that sense of escalating obsession, while the vocals carry an urgent, introspective tone. The song balances melodic hooks with an undercurrent of anxiety, reflecting the push and pull between control and chaos. Rewired Mind offers a sharp, relatable look into the mental loops that refuse to switch off.
