Bring Me The Horizon's Drown performed by Darkness Is My Canvas - New EP out later in 2023!

Promo pic by Santtu Särkäs


Finnish Helsinki-based progressive melodic rock band Darkness Is My Canvas is set to release their new EP 'White Noise' later in 2023 via Inverse Records. The second single 'Drown' from the upcoming EP is a track that needs no further introduction. It's originally recorded by Bring Me The Horizon.

WATCH lyrics video: https://youtu.be/1RWsC0xLl0E

The band comments:
"Drown" is a song released by Bring Me The Horizon in 2014, which according to one interpretation, is about severe depression. Our singer Pete struggled with depression in his teenage years and he thinks that the song is about the depths you can sink into if you don't have trusted people around you. "Drown" has been an empowering song for us in the past few years and we wanted to make our own interpretation of it. Darkness Is My Canvas reflects many themes related to mental health in its music. Bring Me The Horizon also themes their lyrics in a way that they are universal and relatable through their own perspective. We have been listening to "Drown" since its release in 2014 and later added it to our setlist. In its final version, the song ended up on our EP without any hesitation from both us and Inverse Records. "Drown" may be so important to someone that radical changes to the song's atmosphere could cause alienation from it. We listened to different arrangements of "Drown" played by BMTH and picked the most suitable parts for our instruments. Panu wanted to add a 90s grunge vibe to the song. Pete's vocals range from soft baritone to screaming. We really like the end result - we managed to get a strong interpretation out of Pete. Mikko Kaakkuriniemi did a great job on the drums (which was not a surprise), and Panu had an easy time playing bass, guitars, and singing backing vocals.
LISTEN to Drown on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/bmth-drown-cover


BIOGRAPHY:

Darkness Is My Canvas (DIMC) was founded in Helsinki in 2017. The band plays melodic rock combined with progressive elements, stylistically influenced by bands such as Muse, Queen, Pink Floyd, Leprous, and on occasion also Porcupine Tree and My Chemical Romance. Their catchy melodies have many musical hooks, and the band likes to throw curve balls at the audience by changing time and style mid-song - and they do this completely intentionally. The imaginative sound of DIMC wells up from the melody-rich guitar playing of Panu and the voice of Pete, who, some say, sounds like the young David Bowie.
All the songs of DIMC come from the mind and pen of Pete and Panu, who are also the "founding fathers" of the band. They also play all the other instruments in the studio beside the drums, which are trusted to some of the top drummers in Finland. The mastering is done by none other than Grammy Award winner Nicolas Fournier (LA) who's had his hands on many recordings by many of the band's idols (Muse, Linkin Park, Adam Lambert, etc.).
DIMC was founded on what was left from the previous band of multi-instrumentalist Panu and lead singer/guitarist Pete. It was called May:Day, and it represented some sort of an amalgamation of Finnish progressive rock of the 70s and more modern Finnish rock music. Should someone want to listen to their album "I", they will find it by digging through the Internet, as it has not been officially released. DIMC needed to distinguish themselves from the previous band as they changed their language from Finnish to English and their style became more nuanced.
To date, DIMC has released one EP called "Monsters'' and one single called "The Game". Their songs have been downloaded quite nicely from streaming services such as Spotify, in which the counter reached 20 000 this March.

Piper releases debut album ”What is the heart for?”

Through the passing of time and emotions, a sense on wholeness gets channelled into music in Piper's debut album "What is the heart for?". The noise of the world, the sudden silence, eternal longing and the stage that is nature form the themes of The Finnish artist Päivi Sihvonen's debut album. Fully written and composed by the artist herself, the songs tell the story of the woman and the piano, and life's trials and tribulations. Päivi also performs all songs, making the songs deeply personal and connected to her own experiences and emotions that reflect the hardships of life. ON A FANTASY JOURNEY TO MELANCHOLY I set out to realize my musical dream with my debut album "What is the heart for?". With it, I want to open up my musical vision of a fantasy world that you can completely immerse yourself in and escape to and create tunes. That world can be a bit broken and melancholic, but it is beautiful. It is a mixture of half-truths, dreams, illusions and fantasy, while being strongly connected to nature. The lyrics connect the work into a story that carries from one song to the next. Each song has a distinct piano melancholy, but they are unique on their own. The melancholic piano metal you hear at the beginning of the album continues in the form of mournful keyboard notes and melodies until the end. The minor-chord sadness of the album is striking, and it's easy to sink into its beauty. THE TONES AND COLORS OF THE MUSIC HEARD ON THE RECORD The stage of the songs is strong nature: pine forests with paths filled with the scent of needles, the shores of thousands of lakes, the flower fields of nightless nights and the glow of the northern lights of the fells. The album's atmosphere is not light, you can hear a lot of sadness faced and felt during that period. Without the tumultuous experiences of life, the album's story would hardly have been colored from the coal-black landscapes heard at the beginning of the album to the iridescent glow, painted like jewels in pastel shades. The lyrics and the moods of the songs have indeed gotten their driving force from the questions of being human. When lyrics started to emerge, Päivi set out to create an atmosphere around them on the piano. The story as a whole was divided into parts, from which songs began to interweave. The album was made in collaboration with Saku Anttila, who arranged the songs and played all the other instruments along with Päivi's piano compositions. In the music, you can hear the creative interpretations of the working couple woven together. The result is a layered, "musical painting", in which Päivi figuratively drew the outlines of a piano note, and Saku completed her art with colors. The entirety of the album is described by a sentence that was left to be told from the first instrumental song of the album due to the omission of the words: "What is the heart for.. should listen to it more"   Listen to the album on music services: https://push.fm/fl/piper-whatistheheartfor   https://linktr.ee/musicpiper   More info: Päivi Sihvonen, paivi@piper.fi

Another song from the Asylum! Alternative metallers Newtierra release 'Hopeless'

NEWTIERRA OFFER SOLACE FOR THE HOPELESS

"Pure music medicine. For your ears. For your mind. 'Cause we care about you."
-Newtierra

You are lost in a world torn apart, where everything you knew to be true has been consumed by the fires of chaos. All that you love is slowly breaking beneath an unbearable weight that increases with each passing hour. The pale sun grows colder and the nights seem to stretch out into forever, the hours of darkness gnawing at your strength and your sense of self. A parade of nightmares whisper to your soul that you are worthless, a stain upon the earth. Yet behind that snarling diatribe of cruelty there is a cool, clear voice that sings of peace. Within the oppressive shadows of fear there is still a light shining; a soft glow that illuminates a pathway to sanctuary. It leads to a door that is always open to the broken hearted and bereft. It leads to a place of warmth and open arms, to healing and hope for the hopeless. You are not alone.

Within the fractured fragility of their alternative metal sound Newtierra strive to carve out a place for tortured souls to rest, an asylum of understanding. They aim to teach those lost in sadness to smile once more, to help the fearful realise their potential through their songs. Their debut album, Dark Side, was presented as a full length therapy course and while the band work hard on their second extended strategy for personal salvation, they are keen not to neglect their patients. Hence they present new single, or outpatient procedure, 'Hopeless'. 'Hopeless' builds slowly but relentlessly, climbing gentle waves of sound to a climactic peak of visceral, aggressive darkness. Throughout it all the voice of F20.1 is a silver thread within the smoke, always at your side, a companion in the pain. Simple and elegant in its structure yet resplendent in its depth, 'Hopeless' is alive with overwhelming emotion and currents of tension and urgency rise within as it progresses. Infinitely replayable, it forms a boundless crucible, a receptacle for your sorrows that can never be filled.

'Hopeless' is released today, May 24th, in conjunction with a new video, which features F20.1 performing a stunningly expressive, skilled and sensual dance routine – channelling the emotions of the song and bringing them to life through her captivating movements. While we wait for the second full length therapy course from the Asylum, embrace the lessons of 'Hopeless' and let Newtierra cradle you in their arms, safe from the storms in your mind.

Watch the video for 'Hopeless' here:

F20.1 - Vocals
F13.4 - Bass

Inhuman Condition announces new EP

Florida death metallers Inhuman Condition have revealed the details of their new EP, entitled "Panic Prayer".  This marks the group's third release since their formation in early 2021.    Set for a July 21st release on Listenable Insanity Records, "Panic Prayer" features three new original compositions, 4 live songs, and a smashing cover of the Blue Oyster Cult classic hit "Godzilla".  With members of Obituary, Deicide, and Venom Inc, the trio is no stranger to extreme music, blending a mix of groovy death metal and thrash, with a pinch of hardcore.    The group have once again enlisted the help of art-extraordinaire Dan "Babe Ruth" Goldsworthy (Cradle Of Filth, Accept, Hakan, Alestorm) for the cover art for the EP. Goldsworthy's third album cover for the band features the bands "unofficial mascot", sometimes referred to as "the Rat God", who was on the group's 2021 debut "Rat°God", as well as 2022's follow-up album "Fearsick".   Kling says: "When you are face to face with the crushing weight of darkness, what will you reach for? Your wits? Your talisman given to you by an old family member? Or will you embrace the end? This thought will run through everyone's mind. How you handle that moment is individualistic at best.    Believe me, it's coming. Let's see your panic prayer."

Panic Prayer track-listing: 1. Civilized Holocaust 2. Final Credits 3. Panic Prayer 4. Godzilla 5. The Mold Testament (live) 6. Recycled Hate (live) 7. Euphoriphobia (live) 8.

New acoustic version of 2017's "Let It Die" featuring Mutiny Within vocalist Chris Clancy is released as a new single!

X-Empire, from São Paulo, once again prove that within contemporary metal there are no boundaries, and those who don't try new challenges tend towards a dangerous stagnation within the moulds of how music is consumed nowadays. Because of this, the quintet currently formed by Michel Villares (vocals/production), André Marques and Ricky Franco (guitars), Émerson Soares (bass) and André Luis (drums) have released on all digital platforms, their new acoustic version of the song "Let It Die", with the guest appearance by British singer Chris Clancy, from American band Mutiny Within, as the group's new single.

Listen to "Let It Die (Acoustic)" at https://onerpm.link/256776164089 Produced, Engineered, Mixed and Mastered by Michel Villares (M&H Studio - @meh.studio) Co-Production and Additional Engineering by Ricky Franco (M&H Studio - @meh.studio)

"Let It Die", Michel Villares' first full composition, was originally released on the excellent and well praised 2017 album "Grief", also featuring Chris Clancy. In 2023, already with the band's current lineup, "Let It Die" was revisited in acoustic format and brought new and incredible arrangements with more commercial accents created by the guitarist duo André Marques and Ricky Franco. After all these years, the friendship and bonds between Chris and Michel never weakened, so much that Chris gave Michel singing lessons for 4 years and, also, being an excellent producer, was responsible for mixing and mastering the song "Hard To Breathe", released by X-Empire in 2020. Like "Paralyzed (Acoustic)", released last year, "Let It Die (Acoustic)" will be part of the new acoustic EP entitled "Revised & Acoustic" that the band intends to release very soon, preceding "Catharsis", the long-awaited release of totally new stuff from the band. In a few weeks, a music video for "Let It Die (Acoustic)" will be released on the band's official channel. Stay tuned!

Comments from the musicians about "Let It Die (Acoustic)": Michel Villares commented on the participation: "At the time, Chris made us very comfortable. I sent him the melody, and he gave it back to me in 2 days in a much better way than I had written it and without changing the lyrics (laughs). All the emotional charge of the theme is felt in its parts. It turned out amazing." About this new version of "Let It Die", bassist Émerson Soares commented, "Although we only released this version now, it has already been worked on for a while. It was one of the first songs we chose for this acoustic format and we worked hard on it to keep the original identity, but with different arrangements and vocal lines. Originally it had a strong chorus with Chris' interpretation, and now I believe we have managed to make it even better." New guitarist Ricky Franco went further: "It was a unique and exciting experience to recreate 'Let It Die' in this way. Having total creative freedom to add new elements, such as synthesizers and guitar details, was incredible. And keeping the participation of Chris, one of the greatest singers in the world, in an even more exciting version was a question not only of honour, but of good taste." André Marques also commented: "When I heard the original version, I always imagined how it would sound like an Alternative Rock ballad from Nickelback and Creed, for example (laughs). So I took the idea to the band to make it very commercial and the result was excellent." Chris Clancy commented on his social network about his participation: "It was really impressive to see all of Michel's commitment to "Let It Die". It is very rewarding and uplifting for a musician to see and feel another musician's passion for their own art!"

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Formed in 2012 in the city of São Paulo, X-EMPIRE aims to express their sound in a contemporary way, using new and deep lyrical concepts that perfectly balance with their dense melodies. Their modern, complex and unique sound, based on alternating vocals that vary from clean and melodic to guttural and harsh, added to the technique of their well-structured guitar riffs, striking bass and drums, pleases a large part of the public appreciative of catchy choruses and more progressive and heavy strands that permeate styles like Groove Metal, Djent, Prog Metal, Metalcore and even Pop. Since their formation, they have never been afraid to try new challenges, and now strongly expose influences from bands like Meshuggah, Periphery, Trivium, Scar Symmetry, Mutiny Within, Symphony X, Nevermore, Dream Theater, Iced Earth, among others, with the intention of never limiting their art.

(Originally) For fans of: Meshuggah, Periphery, Trivium, Scar Synmetry, Mutiny Within, Symphony X, Nevermore, Dream Theater, Iced Earth (In this new version) For fans of: Creed, Nickelback, Alter Bridge
