‘A Ship Has Left the Shore‘ is about losing someone dear to you. Based on an idea by guitarist / keyboardist Jogeir DaaeMæland, and the lyrics were written by Jogeir and vocalist Katrine Stenbekk as a response to the death of a close family friend. The song takes its time to unfold and gradually builds towards its destination, asking the listener to be patient and attentive. There is a quietness to the way it carries its grief, leaving space for the emotions to reveal themselves rather than presenting everything at once.

The band comment: “Much of the album explores what happens as we drift off to sleep – the space between consciousness and dreams, and the worlds we encounter when we let go. A Ship Has Left the Shore takes us somewhere else entirely: to the other side of life, and to the profound question of how we cope with death and the absence of those we love.”

On the new album, Kalandra explore and follow a series of vivid and recurring dreams over the past few years. Vocalist and song writer Katrine Stenbekk, together with band mate Jogeir DaaeMæland, began exploring the world of dream analysis. Keeping a notebook by the bed, they started writing down fragments of dreams the moment they woke. Those scattered images, emotions, and subconscious narratives, became the foundation for a new collection of songs. 

Kalandra have recently announced their biggest headliner tour in Europe to date, with special guest singer-songwriter Finnegan Tui from New Zealand. The 2027 tour starts on 26th February in Cologne (DE) and ends 27th March in Amsterdam (NL). A full list of confirmed dates can be found below.

They’ve also got a Brooklyn release show booked for their new album.

The post Silvertomb (Ex-Type O Negative) Premiere New Single “Brain Matter/No God” appeared first on Theprp.com.

The second time I ever spoke to Erang in person, despite reviewing his records and interviewing him for various topics for over a decade, was at last month’s Distant Stronghold festival. Erang was not performing that weekend but was instead vending an array of artwork, shirts, and very limited copies of his book. I had a notion that I would get a copy before they ran out. By the end of the first night they were gone. To some, it’s odd that one would go to another country and attend a festival to sell merch and ephemera that were more like personal trinkets. Erang has been asked many times to perform at various festivals but has politely declined. Despite this, he can usually be seen around in-person dungeon synth events, being sort of a micro celebrity. Every time I talk to him, both in-person and through email, I learn something new and new codex entries are added to his lore. I have always thought he’s like a character who is slowly becoming more real, as if stepping out of a painting. That character is more concrete than ever on Erang’s newest album, Medieval Noir, which released today.  

…

…

If you have followed previous Erang records, you would slightly be aware they all take place in the imaginary world of the Five Seasons. Early records came with maps and Erang’s mid-2010’s work was the musical equivalent of a high fantasy series with different records focusing on different characters and events. Erang is a musician, but also a character in the same way Kilgore Trout, Paul Sheldon, or Jo March are character avatars. His previous albums saw his memories, thoughts, and feelings cast as characters in his own personal menagerie. Even though he could have continued this framework indefinitely, it wouldn’t be the work of an artist if things remained static. Beginning in 2016, Erang’s world became warped and much like the world around him, things became increasingly dystopian.    

That’s present on Medieval Noir, which is a dungeon synth record, though the dungeon synth is only part of an ensemble cast. Darkwave, fantasy ambient, dark dungeon, hauntology, and music that could be in a noir film all appear. While Erang has always made music the way he wants to, beginning in 2023 with A Blaze In Time, he’s combined experimental sounds with emotional honesty, becoming less of a fantasy storyteller and more of an alchemist transmuting fantasy into something new. This direction can be thought of as a reaction to not only the world around but also as a comment to the genre, which has grown beyond the bedroom and into an artform with a wide array of expressions.

Though the name dungeon synth works for many, in a decade’s time we will have more words to describe the current expansion. Dungeon synth during the early 2010’s was an umbrella term for experimental electronic music following the guiding path of 1990s dark dungeon music. The genre has always been defined by those who experiment, even if it breaks tradition. In this way, Medieval Noir breaks from dungeon synth’s fantastical tradition. It’s not fantasy in the escapist sense but reactionary music using fantasy as a tool to clear a path. It’s also not only a reaction to the world around it, but a continual evolution of what started in the dungeon but has left for parts unknown. 

At Distant Stronghold, Erang told me he was leaving his day job to become a full-time artist. I never really thought of what he did outside of dungeon synth. His vending was the start of becoming a travelling figure trying to sustain himself on his art. To those ends, he’ll make his live debut in 2027 alongside Hole Dweller, Dungeontroll, and Wraith Knight and other dungeon synth acts at Fortress Festival. Fortress Festival is primarily a black metal event, with Emperor headlining this year, though half of Fortress Festival lineup are artists from the dungeon synth community. Dungeon synth alongside high-profile black metal at a festival in England is a detail that would be absurd in 2014, but is only the result of people who never stop thinking and creating. 

…

Medieval Noir is available now on Bandcamp. Vinyl, cassette, and CD orders are available via Out of Season You can find additional merch and art by Erang through his store.

KAP has been documenting dungeon synth for over a decade and publishes his articles and photographs on his website.

CANADIAN AND RIAA DIAMOND-CERTIFIED ROCK ICONS SET FOR GLOBAL ARENA RUN IN SUPPORT OF THEIR NEW ALBUM, EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN, OUT OCTOBER 30

DON BROCO TO JOIN AS SPECIAL GUESTS

Tickets Available Starting Tuesday October 13 at 10AM local time

General Onsale Begins on Friday, October 16 at 10AM local time on LiveNation.com

Canadian and RIAA Diamond-certified, and GRAMMY® Award-nominated rock legends Nickelback announce the 2027 Everything Under The Sun Tour, a massive global arena run celebrating the band’s highly anticipated eleventh studio album, Everything Under The Sun, out October 30 via Virgin Music Group. Following the momentum of 2022’s Get Rollin’and its record-setting world tour, Nickelback will bring their signature arena-sized live show to fans across North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia, with Don Broco joining as direct support and special guests.

The announcement arrives as Nickelback continue to unveil the emotional and sonic breadth of Everything Under The Sun. The band’s explosive single “Rattle The Cage” (feat. John 5) is currently No. 1 at Active Rock radio in the U.S., marking another chart-topping moment for a band whose catalog has defined rock radio for more than two decades. The track introduced Everything Under The Sun with blistering guitars, pounding riffs and arena-sized energy, while subsequent releases “Leave Me Behind” and “Make Me Love You” have revealed a more vulnerable and emotionally expansive side of the record.

The tour kicks off its North American leg on February 6 at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, with stops at Chicago’s United Center, Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, Vancouver’s Rogers Arena, Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena and Houston’s Toyota Center before wrapping on May 1 at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio. The tour then heads to the UK and Europe from May through July, beginning May 22 at First Direct Bank Arena in Leeds. Stops include London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Munich and more before the run concludes on July 13 at Royal Arena in Copenhagen. The Australian leg begins October 2 at RAC Arena in Perth, with stops in Adelaide, Melbourne, Geelong, Brisbane, and Sydney before wrapping on October 16 at Roche Estate in Pokolbin.

The tour will make a Sacramento stop at Golden 1 Center on April 13, 2027.

The two bands have already connected creatively, with Nickelback collaborating with Don Broco on “Nightmare Tripping,” the title track from the band’s latest Fearless Records album. The collaboration grew from a mutual appreciation between the artists, making the Everything Under The Sun Tour the next chapter in that relationship.

 

The tour follows a remarkable period for Nickelback. The band’s Get Rollin’ World Tour became the fastest-selling and highest-attended tour of their career, while the Netflix documentary Hate to Love: Nickelback became a global sensation, spending weeks in the platform’s Global Top 10 and offering fans an unprecedented look inside the band’s journey.

 

With nearly 65 million albums sold worldwide, billions of streams across digital platforms and more than 50 million monthly listeners, Nickelback remain one of the most streamed and commercially successful rock bands in the world. Their music continues to connect across generations, while their live shows have cemented their reputation as an arena force with a catalog built for massive rooms and massive moments.

Glenn Hughes says that he is recovering well after undergoing a 10 hour open heart surgery operation.

The Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Black Country Communion, Trapeze legend, who recently announced that he was retiring from touring, informed his social media followers that he has just returned home after an eight-day stay in a Los Angeles hospital.

“This past year, I’ve had some health issues,” Hughes, now 75, said in August when announcing his retirement from the road. “The results from numerous MRIs, CT scans, and an echocardiogram have alerted my medical team that I need another open-heart surgery. I really have no option and no choice, as health is my number one priority. Grateful to have been chosen with a life full with the gift of music. Thank you for walking beside me.”

The vocalist/bassist’s latest social media posts outlines the details of his hospital treatment.

“Now Home,” he writes, “after an 8 day stay, and a 10 hour open heart surgery operation, called aortic valve replacement, exactly the same procedure I had done in 2013, at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center, Westwood, LA.

“My doctor, Dr Richard Shemin, head, cardiac, and professor of UCLA, really took care of me with his remarkable staff.

“Each day as I move forward, I am getting my energy back.

“There is only love in my life. There are no mistakes.

“Everything is in its right place. Never believe that there is something wrong in your life. You are where you’re supposed to be. Going through those experiences that are necessary for you right now.

“When you become angry at yourself, because you don’t like the experiences that you are going through, you are hindering your growth. Rather be grateful, & thankful, for every experience that you’re going through.

“Even though it may appear to be terrible in your life, be thankful for this experience, for the experience is not what you think it is, in your finite mind.

“There is a greater purpose to it.

“All is well…”
