 The Andean cover of Iron Maiden that everyone was waiting for!

 The Andean folk prog-metallers Flor de Loto, from Lima, Peru, have just released their latest single on all digital music platforms.

This time it's a very Peruvian version of the Iron Maiden classic "Afraid to shoot strangers".
You can listen at this location: https://open.spotify.com/album/3VNbaELcpH6l60Yj2VyEaK

“Flor de Loto is what would have happened if Iron Maiden met Jethro Tull in the ruins of Machu Picchu” (Roy Z)

This version not only finds a band already aged, with more than 20 years of career fusing heavy metal and progressive rock with the music of the Peruvian Andes, but it is also produced by the renowned producer Roy Z, who in addition to being Guitarist for Bruce Dickinson himself, he has also worked as a producer for bands such as Judas Priest, Skid Row, Sepultura and Rob Halford. The North American musician has also produced Flor de Loto's last studio album (Eclipse, 2008), and at the moment he is working with the band on a new album that will have music stars like Arthur Brown and Fabio Lione as guests.

The cover of the single shows Eddie the Head observing the famous Nasca lines, in Peru. Among them, you can also see the logo of the band.

The song, in which Andean instruments such as the quena and the zampoña can be heard, can be found on all digital music platforms: https://links.altafonte.com/p1m2e4w

KEKAL released a brand-new Single “Anthropos Rising”

 To finish off the year 2021, avant-garde metal/rock band Kekal just released the brand-new song "Anthropos Rising" as a digital single, also accompanied by the music video. This makes the first taste of what is to come in the year 2022, with more new songs to be released one at a time individually as digital singles, to form the (yet untitled) upcoming album. "Anthropos Rising" has all the fresh musical approach, in a more uplifting, organic and in-your-face production followed by spiritually-charged lyrics about the great awakening and ascension.

The digital single is released as a free download through the band’s Bandcamp page and streaming through various mainstream digital platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, etc.). At the same time, the band also released a music video of this new song on YouTube.

Formed in 1995 as a more straightforward extreme metal band, Jakarta - Indonesia-based Kekal has been venturing deeper into the continuous exploration in creating music for more than two decades. Their monumental 4th album "1000 Thoughts of Violence" (2003) marked as the beginning of their journey into the unknown. Kekal is one of the first bands/musicians from Indonesia to gain international presence in the early and mid-2000 by releasing albums in both North American and European markets, and the first band from Indonesia to tour Europe in March 2004—playing a string of live concerts in Germany, Netherlands and Sweden.

Since 2009, Kekal has become a band with no official members, but some of its former members still continue to make music and release albums for Kekal, albeit as anonymous contributors.

So far, Kekal has released 12 full-length studio albums from 1998 to 2020, and the upcoming one is currently in the works for a possible mid to late 2022 release. Stylistically, the album follows Kekal's faithful tradition by utilizing avant-garde and alternative approaches to various expressions of rock, metal and electronic music.
