(MUCK POOL NEWS) "ENDLESS CHAIN" UNVEILS NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO "SAVE ME" (MELODIC DEATH METAL/GOTHIC METAL)


Finnish melodic death and gothic metal act Endless Chain has dropped their latest digital single and music video, "Save Me." The track serves as the final teaser for their upcoming third album, Nothingness, releasing internationally on November 20th via M-Theory Audio.

The track layers melancholic atmosphere over rhythmic arrangements produced and mixed by Aleksanteri Kuosa and mastered by Tony Lindgren.

Behind the Sound:

Guitarist Timo Mölsä highlights the creative execution behind the new track:

"This is definitely one of my favourites from the new album. I think we really managed to capture the right mood with this one, and the song is full of emotion," explains guitarist Timo Mölsä. "Ville Hovi’s lyrics, combined with the amazing vocal performances by both Ville and Aki Salonen, really bring the song to life in a beautiful way. You have to listen to ‘Save Me’ and watch the music video, it really adds another layer to the song!"

Thematic Focus:

Vocalist Ville Hovi outlines the heavy concepts anchoring the lyrics:

"’Save Me’ explores themes of memory, loss, shame and despair," adds vocalist Ville Hovi. "After losing someone close to him, a man is haunted by ghosts from his past that return as powerful memories. As time passes, his memories begin to blur with reality, making it difficult to tell what belongs to the present and what belongs to the past, what is real and what is imagined."

"He is also haunted by everything that was left unsaid and undone, and by thoughts of what could have been. At the heart of the song is a deep sense of despair and a longing for this troubled existence to finally end. Yet, even in the darkest moments, there remains a small thought that perhaps life might still hold some hope."

Visual Production & Distribution:

The accompanying video was handled by Dronicon Films. Physical pre-orders for Nothingness are live now, including standard Digipak CD and a limited 300-copy hardwood colored vinyl edition distributed worldwide.

AMULET - "SO COLD" (RISING PHOENIX) (SINGLE, DARKWAVE, DISTORTION PRODUCTIONS, REVIEW)

Image
So Cold (Rising Phoenix)  is the first single from the forthcoming EP ' Purification ' due for release via Distortion Productions on November, 28th.  Amulet is a DC artist and So Cold (Rising Phoenix) is the synthpop incarnation of the darkwave rock track of the same name, and is a faster paced re-imagined version.  It has a contagious tempo with clear vocals that flow in and out with the melody. A very goth tone from what Bog could hear, which has been nicely laced on top of the beat. It's well composed, sectioned together strongly with the hook and transitions. Bog could hear the riffs in the background on an earlier part of the song, which was a good touch, and Bog assumed they are maybe from the original version of So Cold . We aren't too familiar with this style of music, or the artist, but Stephanie Stryker's vocals stand out. They also carry a style that could transfer across  to goth rock/goth metal, and possibly traditional heavy metal. We aren't sure ...

TOMB SLAB (SLUDGE, REVIEW) - SELF TITLED (RELEASED JULY 17TH, ROAD TO MASOCHIST RECORDS)

Image
Bog Land classic coming up here y'all! Tomb Slab embody the stench, muck, dirt, and pure stinky ass dirty unclean rivers of mud that flow through special areas of the swamp. They are hideously revolting and play a gut wrenching style of sludge with some doomy potions! The album is as disgusting as the time Bog had to use a nail file to remove the mould between his ball sack and thigh. Sometimes you have to use toilet paper to wipe it off, but it had dried a little too hard, so it was a fun day, but enough of the Bog mishap memoirs for now.  Bog is attempting the selector lens, but he may f*ck off into commentary mode whilst rolling around in bog water from pure excitement.  Tomb Slab are on the  Road To Masochist  roster along with fellow sickness sludge mongers  BLÜDWYRM . All of them have caught Bog's ear, so shout to y'all!   1. Kingdom of Tyranny opens with a crushing riff intro supported by the vocals in a symphony of desolate grime to assault th...

BLOOD HANDSOME: 'NOSTALGIA HOLD' (STRICT TEMPO, RELEASED SEPT 5TH, DARKWAVE/SYNTH, REVIEW)

Image
Bog was due to write about Blood Handsome later on the schedule, but it was moved forward to feature something different from other underground music. Bog will be writing from the stance of what he hears, he doesn't know too much about this/or the particular style/scene, so disclaimer alert. Bog writes about what he hears, and how it makes him think/feel. Blood Handsome opens with Abandon,  which is an up tempo track with a beat that people can move/bounce too. Futuristic and feels ahead of its time, but also embodies the synth/goth influences, which Bog can hear. I guess dark synth with a little cyberpunk to a point that invokes the imagination to think of cyberpunk movies/novels, and generally space/planets, and all things in the not so distant future.  Abandon has a sinister/dark vibe, leaving the impression of robots dancing on a space station. Leaving imagination world for a moment, and turning attention to the music itself for a deeper dive, an attempted one, hop...
