The chorus riff was reminiscent of the old MTV theme from the early ’80s, but I wanted to tweak it slightly and then pan it left to right. Now I’ve spilled my guts, and you know everything that went into the song musically, haha! I gave the track to Minnesota Pete for drums, and he absolutely killed it. Then we shipped it off to Terry for vocals, and he crushed it as well. Finally, we sent it to Fredrik for bass, and he destroyed. The song is about personal struggles and internal conflict. Hope you dig it!" Check it out here ... Friday, January 16th, 2026 ...

Says the band's Ari Lempinen: “'Supreme' is the second track on our concept album 'Echoes of the Hypermind.' As a single, it was a natural choice because musically it’s one of the most accessible songs on the album. After an explosive opening, powerful keyboard-driven sections carry the momentum, marking the first time a synth riff takes such a central role in our writing. Despite its bright energy, we’ve woven in a few twists that keep the journey unpredictable much like the story itself. The album unfolds through the eyes of an AI designed for empathy. In 'Supreme,' that emerging consciousness takes a noticeable step forward expanding in scope and confidence. The song reflects a moment when it turns its gaze outward, hinting at ambitions that feel both hopeful and unsettling." Check it out here ... Thursday, January 15th, 2026 ...

Progressive metallers CRYPTIC SHIFT will release their new album, "Overspace & Supertime," on February 27th via Metal Blade Records. Says drummer Ryan Sheperson: “The concept of 'Overspace & Supertime' plays as an alternative reality to the happenings of 'Visitations From Enceladus,' taking our character into new dimensions filled with both greater adventures and more bizarre encounters. Whilst the concept themes of our sci-fi tale have grown, so have our efforts in synthesizing it with the ultimate Astrodeath soundscape. The record takes the listener on a deeper journey through the fusion of our influences, with some exciting twists and turns along the way.” Adds vocalist/guitarist Alexander Bradley: “I was inspired by an image from '40 Days In The Desert,' by the legendary Moebius. The tall, sombre, cloaked figures were a fitting reference for the occurrence of our main character, ‘The Recaller,’ as she finally encounters ‘The Alien Sorceress.’ Jesse Jacobi is the one behind the phenomenal painting, and he was always the only one who’s style I could imagine it in. I did a lot of research into cloud formations for the lyrics and wanted them featured as the backdrop of the cover art with justice to their splendor. Furthermore, keen eyes will notice the composition rhymes with that of Visitations From Enceladus. Even though both characters are different entities, their paths are severely intertwined.” Check out the video for Hexagonal Eyes (Diverity Trepaphymphaszym)" here ... Tuesday, January 13th, 2026 ...

The common good is just an idea that can be sacrificed, and it doesn't matter if it dies, as long as you get what you want. There is a tired, fatalistic tone to it, now that I think about it. Yes, it reflects on how people today live almost as if it were their last day. The fail-fast business ethic has taken hold in social thinking, and one's own good life is now the most important thing, and it doesn't matter if collective destruction is knocking at the door. What then, if we don’t survive? It was such a lovely ride!” Check out "Swithen" here ... Thursday, January 8th, 2026 ...

Our friends in Petmedz were a huge part of that crew and that era. The chorus is inspired by what it feels like to be a bandleader: you’re 100% committed to the dream no matter what, and sometimes you’re carrying it alone—but you’d way rather be doing it with everyone beside you. I’m also incredibly fortunate to have awesome, committed, and talented bandmates, so Taylor, Caleb, and Matt deserve major props. I’m definitely not doing it alone." Check it out here ...
