A press release said the following about the EP:
“Built around an unnamed character who constructs an artificial world as a way of escaping the reality of how they truly feel, the EP explores depression, anxiety, isolation, and low self-worth through a world where nothing is quite what it seems.”
Vocalist Cameon Humphrey also commented:
“The more we wrote this record, the more we realised it wasn’t really about one person’s story — it’s about how people create versions of themselves just to get through modern life. We wanted to make something that felt real. Not polished to the point where it loses its humanity, but honest about the things that people don’t always want to talk about.
The character has built this entire world to escape how they actually feel, but we never tell you exactly why. That’s really important to us. We don’t want to give the listener a beginning, middle, and end and tell them what it means. We want people to find themselves somewhere inside it.
When we look back at ‘To Live In A Different Way’, we can hear where we were trying to get to. This feels like we’ve finally stopped worrying about what Love Is Noise is supposed to sound like. We had the confidence to do everything ourselves this time. Alex and I produced it, I played all the drums, Sam and Alex are properly embedded in the guitars and bass, and Alex has a much bigger vocal presence. It feels like the three of us are completely inside this record.
Everything about this project had to feel human. There’s so much AI-generated stuff everywhere now, and we didn’t want to contribute to that. The artwork is made by an actual artist. Sam built the website. We produced the music ourselves. Every part of it comes from people who are actually in the band. That’s kind of the irony of the whole EP. It’s about someone creating a fake world because they can’t deal with reality, while we’re making something as real as we possibly can.”
The EP’s first single, “smile.” (feat. PALESKIN’s Casper Frisk), can be found below. Humphrey added the following about that track:
“‘smile.‘ is a pursuit of happiness. An anthem for the lovers. A celebration of those who put others first. This song is a light in the dark when you forget who you are. You are worthy to someone out there, and don’t ever forget it.”
Shiner will be releasing a deluxe edition of their latest album, “BELIEVEYOUME,” on September 18. The band said the following about that:
“‘BELIEVEYOUME’ is getting the deluxe treatment. On September 18th, we’re releasing the ‘BELIEVEYOUME’ (Deluxe Edition) digitally, featuring two bonus tracks that until now have only been available on the physical release. The first of those, ‘Captured By Death,’ is out everywhere today.”
System Of A Down have scored some new diamond, platinum, and gold awards in the U.S. The following releases were certified by the RIAA.
Mastodon have commented on the release of their new album “Marrow Deep.” That effort serves as the band’s first without their late guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds and their first with keyboardist João Nogueira and guitarist Nick Johnston as full-time members. According to the band, “it was a turbulent ride getting here” and “this one hit differently.”
Mastodon said the following:
“Hello Everyone,
Marrow Deep is finally here, and we are excited to share it with you all!
It was a turbulent ride getting here, and while we’re no strangers to exploring heavy subject matter, this one hit differently. All we had known as a band had dramatically changed forever, as we all found ourselves navigating personal tragedies and catastrophic events. This album was forged in a whole lot of chaos, and raw, unfiltered emotion, but through the uncertainty, we managed to come together, unpack the weight of it all, and create something beautiful that pushed us to our absolute limits, collectively and individually, as creatives, musicians and human beings.
For us, Marrow Deep is more than just a snapshot in time, it’s a testament to perseverance and the importance of getting out of bed and showing up, even when you feel like the world is crumbling around you.
The three of us have poured everything we have into Mastodon for the past 26+ years, it’s an insatiable fire that burns within us still to this very day. Having Nick and Joao beside us during this new chapter, has been incredibly uplifting and genuinely awesome! They bring a new energy and dynamic into the mix, and we are firing on all cylinders!
Whether this album helps you navigate dark times, inspires you to pick up an instrument, or you simply listen for enjoyment, we hope the music connects with you as deeply as it does with us!
We say this often, but still feel like we can never say it enough, thank you! To the fans old and new, your support means everything!
See ya on the road!
– Mastodon“
