VARATHRON‘s trademark are mid-paced riffs that have a classic, old-school feel strengthened by a progressive view, as well as epic atmosphere that only few can match.

Line-up:
Stefan Necroabyssious – vocals
Achilleas C – guitars
Sotiris – guitars
Stratos – bass
Haris – drums

Post-rock newcomer GRYMM released their new single ‘Gravity’.


GRYMM DROP LATEST SINGLE ‘GRAVITY’
Brighton trio Grymm return with their latest captivating effort exploring further their eclectic fusion of post-rock, indie andgrunge. Blending together jagged guitar noise, catchy pop riffs and an indie-rock songwriting mentality, Grymm present a proficiency in the creation of gritty grunge but not to the detriment of a strong melodic aptitude.

With each release – since the band burst onto Brighton’s music scene in early 2016 – Grymm have introduced different elements to their brash, multifarious sound; debut single ‘Jurassic‘ bearing heavy pop sensibilities. ‘Gravity‘, rather, delves into quiet-to-loud grunge with a post-rock sonic.

"This song is essentially about all the ways abusive people in your life made you feel worthless, and also how their acts have traumatised you and changed you as a person. ‘You pull and wrench and tear away at me, you’re worse than gravity’ – but also how much that emotion of feeling degraded, and worn away can make you not like what you’ve become when being treated that way." Morgan Jones (Vocals/Lead Guitar)
LIVE DATES
29th May – The Prince Albert
10th June – Sticky Mike’s Frog Bar (Single Launch)
15th June – Chichester Inn
7th July – The Hope and Ruin

Tuesday The Sky – Debut first song off “Drift” debut album; Artwork and track-listing revealed!


Tuesday The Sky, the new Ambient Instrumental Rock project by Fates Warning guitarist Jim Matheos, will be releasing its debut album ‘Drift’ worldwide on June 30th, 2017 via InsideOutMusic.

A first sound sample off the release is made available today, so listen to the album’s opening track “Today The Sky” here:

Jim Matheos checked in with the following comment about the song:

“With “Today The Sky” you get a fair representation of the overall direction on “Drift” –  a lot of layered guitars and some inspired drumming from Lloyd Hanney (God Is An Astronaut).

This particular song, the first to be written, started off as an idea for Fates Warning’s last record, “Theories of Flight”. But it became apparent early on that it wouldn’t quite fit without some major changes. Rather than re-shaping the song to fit the FW mold I decided to write a record to fit the song.”

Tuesday The Sky and “Drift” sees Matheos expanding the boundaries of his playing and sound even further than ever before. “Drift” came together in the downtime between Fates Warning finishing “Theories Of Flight” and the beginning of the touring cycle, enabling Matheos to explore a type of atmospheric and instrumental music you might not expect of him. Taking cues from artists like Brian Eno, Boards Of Canada, Sigur Ros and Explosions In The Sky, he explores expansive textures and ambient electronica, as well as some of the most colossal riffs he has ever produced.

“Drift” also features the talents of God Is An Astronaut’s drummer Lloyd Hanney, who provides a rhythmic backbone that is at once punchy, precise and restrained when necessary. Other guests include long-time OSI collaborator and former Dream Theater member Kevin Moore who plays keys on two songs as well as Anna-Lynne Williams (Trespassers William, Lotte Kestner), who provides ethereal vocals (of the non-verbal kind) on two other songs.

“Drift”, whose cover artwork created by Jan Tomic can be seen above, will be released as special edition CD, black LP + CD & digital download. Here is the album’s track-listing:

Tuesday The Sky – “Drift”:
1. Today The Sky
2. Kite
3. Vortex Street
4. It Comes In Waves
5. Dyatlov Pass
6. Far And Away
7. Westerlies
8. Roger, Gordo
9. The Rowing Endeth
10. Drift
