The Ocean To Release New Album “Solaris” In September

The Ocean, who now feature guitarist/vocalist Robin Staps, bassist Mattias Hägerstrand, and drummer Jordi Farré alongside new vocalists Enrico Tiberi and Lane Shi and new guitarists Emmanuel Jessua and Marco Gennaro, have announced a new album titled “Solaris.” The effort will be released on September 25 and it can be pre-ordered HERE.

“Solaris” Track Listing:

01. “52°30’11” N, 13°26’12“ E“
02. “Departure Song“
03. “Light Pollution“
04. “Simulacra“
05. “Belligerence“
06. “Ultima Esperanza“
07. “Milk Of My Dreams“
08. “51°28’30” S, 73°6’11” W“

A video for the effort’s first single, “Light Pollution,” can be found below. The following was said about that track in a press release:

”’Light Pollution’ explores the pitfalls of 21st-century technology and humanity’s growing obsession with simulated reality. But do the many technological and social advances of recent decades truly represent progress?”

Staps added:

“We’ve witnessed several communication revolutions throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, but have we actually become any better at communicating? Has there really been forward movement, or has the motion been orbital — have we merely been treading water? Light pollution symbolizes the transparency of the postmodern age, permeating everything and everyone. Everything is constantly visible; we’ve lost the darkness to hide in, and with the relentless glare of communication, we’ve also lost our privacy.”

01. “Edge Of Entropy”
02. “Grey Business”
03. “False Populist”

Dragged Under Premiere New Song “Rebel Son Rise!”

Dragged Under have shared a lyric video for their new song “Rebel Son Rise!.” Vocalist Tony Cappocchi said the following about that track:

“Since we wrote the last record, I’ve become a father to two amazing kids. This song is a message about how cruel the world can be, and it’s a plea for them to find their own path and always put their convictions and truth ahead of what society wants them to be — whether that relates to the social status quo, politics, or religion. I just want them to be rebels and realize that what’s popular or approved by their peers isn’t always what’s right. It’s perfectly acceptable to be the one swimming against the current.”

AXTY Premiere “nothing but pain” Music Video

AXTY have premiered a new video for their new song “nothing but pain.” This track is from the band’s new album, “The Pain Made Me Who I Am,” which will be released on August 21. Frontman Felipe Hervoso said the following about the single:

“‘nothing but pain’ is a raw, zero-filtering look at what it means to completely lose hope and struggle for survival. It leans hard into the darkest aspects of mental anguish, capturing the suffocating feeling of being dragged under by your own thoughts. It is a straightforward, uncompromising track built for anyone who appreciates music with real, messy, and authentic human emotion.”
