“Serenity” is about reaching levels of insanity that it becomes almost Serenity. The world is in turmoil and so is Wildfire's line-up, but hope that we can gather some levels of sanity and organize some dark group for the trips to the abyss and back. The band is still planning to release an album next year with some help and ideas of session musicians. “Serenity” was taken from their latest EP "Dark Illusions".
Line-up: Vello

World's first all-female Deathcore band is Brazilian and releases a music video with CJ, lead singer of Thy Art is Murder.
“Afterlife” is the first single from Sinaya’s upcoming second studio album, featuring CJ McMahon from Thy Art is Murder.
With a career that spans more than a decade, Sinaya became known worldwide for its sound strongly influenced by Thrash and Death Metal. In the midst of the pandemic going on around the world, the band also found itself facing its own obstacles. The end result of this process was their complete redesign, with a great transformation and evolution in their sound.
With the fusion of Death Metal and Deathcore in their most recent work - currently inspired by a more modern strand of metal - Sinaya becomes then the first Deathcore band in the world formed only by women.
Vocalist Mylena Monaco comments on the band’s new era: ''Deathcore is a style that I've been listening to a lot in the last few years and I'm falling in love with more and more every day. It's a newer style, but more difficult to sing because it covers a lot of vocal techniques, and I've been studying a lot lately. With Helena Nagagata joining the band in 2020, migrating to this style made it even easier, as she is a very versatile guitarist who has a background in Progressive Metal and its variations. She brought to this new album songs with heavier tunings, which lined up very well with my vocal ideas in this more Deathcore style. After a lot of talking, chemistry and strategies, we have decided together to start taking the band to this new modern sound.
When we went to Fusão Studio in April 2021 to start recording the new album with the old lineup, we faced some technical unforeseen events and had to hire a sub to record the drums at the very last minute. Now migrating to this style, we needed a drummer who, technically, could live up to the new sounds. Two months later, after many auditions with drummers from all around the world, Amanda Imamura officially joined the band. She's a drummer that I've been trying to bring to Sinaya for 4 years and now it finally happened. She has already played a lot of this modern style, she is very technical and precise and at the same time, she’s very strong and has a heavy hand.
Amanda Melo is a bassist who was already a fan of Sinaya, and is an extremely competent musician - in September 2021 - two months after she joined the band, we went back to the studio so she could record the bass lines and she managed to play amazingly, recording the songs mostly in one take. With this new album, we’re here to show that the woman in extreme metal is technical, has a lot of strength (both physically and mentally), and knows how to take a high-level band seriously! Now we're exploring another style of Metal that we like, at a much higher level than what we used to do, and for that reason, I've decided to be a full-time vocalist, to be able to explore these new techniques even further. We had the support of great members of renowned Deathcore bands, and one of them was CJ McMahon, lead singer of Thy Art is Murder, who you'll be able to check out on this release. We are very happy with his featuring, as he is a huge reference for us and for the Deathcore scene worldwide.
With this work, we still play Metal for all tastes. Some of the songs still sound mostly Death Metal, others sound more Deathcore. But the next ones will be focused much more on Deathcore and its strands.
Besides CJ, who represents this new era of Sinaya in Deathcore, we have another great guest in the album: Diva Satanica, vocalist of Nervosa, who represents a celebration of women in metal. We invited Diva, cause she’s not only an amazing singer but currently Nervosa and she is big icons in the world metal scene.’’
For the single's artwork, the band opted for a more minimalist concept, fleeing from the idea of traditional Metal covers. Purple was chosen for this work, because of the symbology of the colors, it refers to spirituality - since the song deals with the theme ‘’Afterlife’’. This color also means freedom from internal fears and other human concerns and transformation, which is what the band and the world faced after the beginning of the pandemic.
The artwork was done by Artur Fontenelle from Dead Mouse Design, who has already worked with Brazilian bands such as Oitão, Torture Squad and Claustrofobia.
The full-length album is scheduled to be released in 2022 and more details will be announced shortly by the band. The complete work was produced, mixed and mastered at Fusão Studio, by Thiago Bianchi (Noturnall, ex Shaman), who has already developed alongside relevant names in the national and international metal scene, such as Mike Portnoy, James Labrie, Aquiles Priester and Edu Falaschi.

Gadgets Sons: release new single "Detestable"
Artist:Gadgets Sons Release title:Detestable Label:Self-Released Release Date:30-10-2021 Format:Digital Genre:Metal
Country: United States
Gadgets Sons is back as a two-piece and stronger than ever! Their latest single "Detestable" hits hard with bone-crushing grooves alongside dissonant riffs. This metal anthem takes the listener on a journey from total brutality through melodic interludes and into a shredding sick guitar solo and right back into the brutality again! The heart of the song though is in the lyrics which were conceived from a place of finding strength in the darkest of places.
VARNOK:release new video for the track "The Deluge of Fire"
Anthropogenic is Varnok's new offering; the culmination of the work done throughout the lockdown, which was spent writing and recording new material. Going for the old-school thrash metal sound they had committed to, this time Varnok are also pushing towards a bit of a more technical sound, a positive consequence caused by the departure of their bassist, something that forced the band to act as a two-piece in the interim period and be more productive than ever.
The concept of Anthropogenic presents the idea of human extinction being self-inflicted, as a lot of what is on this EP reflects self-destructive tendencies. «We tried to make the most of the lockdowns by writing and recording as much as possible», the band comments. «Now that we are out of the dark in that regard, we want to get out there and tour as much as we have the opportunity for, especially places we haven't been.»

“The penance and the lesson is a song that tries to represent what luck is for everyone in certain decisive moments, the aggressiveness of the song wants to give the listener a focus of frustration when luck, which serves as our destiny, does not fall in our favor. However, if lessons are learned from these unfavorable situations, certain situations can become very clear, as to how difficult decisions well made can often bring the best results. Keep in mind, if there is no solution, no answer to the question or anything you can imagine, the dice fall for everyone, as penance and lesson define our moments now, ”explained Giancarlo Vettor.

The single also shows a high musical level. The work of both guitars is quite technical, requiring great dexterity from both guitarists. The rhythmic part is also demanding: the drums take a lot of speed, as well as tempo changes and the bass must do a powerful and precise work of the rhythms.

From spacey atmospheres, elegant piano and flutes evoking folklore to soft-rock guitars unfolding into magnificent, sentimental solos, "StarStuff" is a colorful journey that generates constant comfort and smiles. Such relaxation heard on "StarStuff" has to do with the way guitarist Mark Ilaug has approached the new work.
