  • Red Code Sign with Epictronic And Release New Single/Video “Quarantine”

    Red Code Launch New Chapter with Epictronic and “Quarantine” Single & Video

     

    Epictronic is proud to announce the signing of Italian alternative prog metal band Red Code. Marking the beginning of this new partnership, the band has released their new single and official video, “Quarantine,” the first preview of their debut EP, Traces of unease and discomfort (Episode 1), due for release this September.

    “Quarantine,” together with “Toxic Karma” and “Checkmate,” forms part of An Archive of Us, a sci-fi/thriller short film that explores a dystopian world as a metaphor for humanity’s need for control. Produced by S@NGIORGIO 2020 with technical support from Infinity Digital, the project expands Red Code’s music into a cinematic narrative where psychological tension and social commentary intertwine.

    The single captures the band’s distinctive approach to alternative and progressive metal, pairing powerful riffs with emotionally charged songwriting and the commanding performance of vocalist Lenina.

    The band’s statement about the signing:
    “Signing with Epictronic is, for us, both a wonderful surprise and the culmination of years of work aimed at giving the metal scene in our region the recognition it deserves beyond our borders,” the band said in a statement. “It’s the icing on the cake after years of stages, festivals, and events shared with the bands that helped keep this scene alive. Our biggest thank you goes to our fans — those who’ve followed us for years, and those about to discover us.”

    About Red Code

    Red Code was formed in Trieste as a live act, founded by vocalist Lenina, drummer Ivo, and bassist Andrea Bossi, who later passed away. The band kept playing in his memory and has built a steady live history, opening for Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil), Exilia, Nicola Manzan (Bologna Violenta), Pierpaolo Capovilla (Il Teatro degli Orrori), Underwaves, Tystnaden, Logical Terror, and Break Me Down, and performing on Radio Rai and at venues, festivals, and motorcycle rallies across the region. The sound is built entirely on Lenina’s vocals and the band’s instruments, with no backing tracks, post-production, or sequencing — alternative metal aggression filtered through prog influences, with touchpoints ranging from System of a Down and Godsmack to Dream Theater and Fates Warning. Traces of Unease and Discomfort is the band’s first studio release of original material after years of live shows.

    Traces of unease and discomfort (Episode 1)

    “Traces of unease and discomfort” draws on the personal experiences of each band member, all of whom contributed to the music and lyrics. The songs move through claustrophobic relationships, toxic dynamics, personal responsibility for pain, and self-sabotage. Tracks were mixed and mastered partly by Jens Bogren and Ricardo Borges at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden — whose credits include Arch Enemy, Sepultura, Katatonia, Devin Townsend, Ihsahn, At the Gates, Dark Tranquillity, Paradise Lost, and Symphony X — and partly by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio, who has worked with Deathless Legacy, Elvenking, Vision Divine, and Michael Romeo, and plays guitar in DGM.

    Daniel – Guitars
    Gabriele – Bass, backing vocals

  • “I wanted to dance with it, meld his incendiary words with my soul.” Listen to Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale take on a Soundgarden rarity with Chris Cornell tribute project King Ultramega

    King Ultramega, the all-star project convened to honour the legacy and music of late Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell have shared a new cover, featuring Halestorm duo Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger alongside Soundgarden (and former Pearl Jam) drummer Matt Cameron, and Metal Allegiance bassist Mark Menghi, who anchors the project.

    Following on from the collective’s cover of Loud Love, shared on June 23, which also featured Lzzy Hale on vocals, alongside Menghi, Testament’s Alex Skolnick, and ex-Pearl Jam drummer Dave Krusen, King Ultramega have now tackled a Soundgarden rarity, Birth Ritual, originally released on the soundtrack to Cameron Crowe’s 1992 grunge rom-com Singles.

    “Birth Ritual has always been one of my favorite Soundgarden songs,” says Menghi. “It was important to me to give a tip of the cap to a phenomenal film – which Chris famously cameos in – and a soundtrack that perfectly defined that entire era. I still have my original VHS of the movie! Even our artwork for this release is a direct nod to the movie’s fictional band, Citizen Dick.”

    “King Ultramega has become more than a cover project,” the bassist adds, “it feels like a living tribute to Chris Cornell’s entire creative spirit. If you notice the trend of King Ultramega releases thus far, we cover all aspects of Chris’s career – spanning different albums, bands and solo records – with no more than one song from any given release.”

    “Every time I tackle a Chris Cornell track I always want to honor his legacy,” says Lzzy Hale. “But with Birth Ritual, I wanted to dance with it, meld his incendiary words with my soul and find a way to live inside the song.”

    “The overall intensity of the song still hits home for me,” says Matt Cameron. “It’s a nice modern update, but still sounds true to the original. The chorus on the tribute version sounds amazing, Lzzy crushed the vocals and the guitars and bass are perfect.”

    “Birth Ritual is an obscure B-side,” Cameron continues, “so newer fans of the band may not be familiar with it. After hearing this version hopefully newer listeners will check out some of our other interesting B-sides penned by Chris like She Likes Surprises and Cold Bitch.”

    Proceeds from the release, as with King Ultramega’s past singles, go to mental health charity MusiCares.
