Epictronic proudly presents the latest audiovisual drop from one of instrumental rock’s most compelling new voices: Jon Harris. The Canadian multi-instrumentalist shares the official playthrough video for “Togetherness”, an explosive track lifted from his debut album, Parallel Heart — out now via Epictronic.

“Togetherness’stands as a reflection on human connection, born from the isolation of the pandemic. At its heart, the song contemplates a simple yet profound question: are we okay, as a humanity?”

Based in Edmonton, Jon Harris is fast becoming a name to watch in the modern rock landscape. Parallel Heart positions him as more than just a guitarist — he’s a fully-fledged sonic architect. The album merges blues-soaked hard rock, vintage synth-pop, and funk-inflected grooves into a cohesive and forward-thinking sound. Think Jeff Beck channeling Prince with a cinematic twist.

Though entirely instrumental, Parallel Heart speaks volumes. The compositions — from the pulsing urgency of “Togetherness” to the retro sparkle of “97BPM” — form a loose narrative about the tension between connection and chaos, between creative drive and real-world demands. Each track offers its own emotional arc, powered by Harris’s multi-instrumental mastery (he handles guitar, drums, bass, piano, and production duties himself).

Epictronic is thrilled to welcome Italian genre-bending rock metal act epoimóriròmiope to its roster for their haunting new album, ricordi di un tempo mai esistito, due for release on 10 October 2025. Emerging from Bologna’s underground in 2021, epoimóriròmiope has been forging a unique sonic identity by merging the visceral impact of Metalcore with the immersive textures of EDM, Alternative Rock, and Industrial.

What began as a one-man studio project has evolved into a fully formed band with a bold new sound and vision. Following the underground acclaim of earlier self-released works Vincoli and kabukimono, the band made a decisive move to withdraw their previous catalogue from streaming platforms, signaling a rebirth with a new lineup and a darker, more refined artistic direction.

Now, with Epictronic behind them, they are ready to unveil their most ambitious work to date. Ricordi di un tempo mai esistito (“memories of a time that never existed”) is an emotionally charged concept album that dives deep into themes of loss, abandonment, rage, anxiety, and the fleeting nature of existence. Written during a period of intense personal turmoil, the album is both catharsis and confession — a raw sonic diary built on distorted memories and unspoken grief.

Fusing jagged guitar riffs, aggressive synths, glitched textures, and cinematic soundscapes, the record draws inspiration from Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, Bring Me The Horizon, Massive Attack, and echoes of darkwave, IDM, and cyberpunk. It’s a record that doesn’t seek to soothe but to confront — a sonic mirror held up to the most shadowed corners of the human psyche. This release marks the beginning of a new chapter for epoimóriròmiope, one rooted in emotional truth and unrelenting sonic exploration.

Bloomington, IN — Rising modern rock band Bastion Rose returns with Cinnamon Fire, the sultry and explosive second single from their upcoming full-length album Traces Of Gold. Produced by Grammy-winner David Bottrill (Tool, Muse, Godsmack, Mastodon, Peter Gabriel), the track drops on Friday, July 25, across all major streaming platforms.Following the success of their debut EP, Fade To Blue, and their newest single, Humble Me, Cinnamon Fire dives deeper into the band’s signature blend of brooding hard rock and post-grunge edge.

With dark, groove-heavy guitars and simmering vocals, the song evokes the allure of danger — magnetic, low, and smoldering. “It’s about temptation,” says frontman Austin Frink. “It’s about wanting something that is seemingly beautiful, but that will destroy you.”Bastion Rose has steadily built momentum with their cinematic sound and emotionally charged performances.

The upcoming album Traces Of Gold marks a major leap forward for the band, combining classic influences like Black Sabbath and Soundgarden with a modern production aesthetic.“Cinnamon Fire” will be available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and all digital platforms beginning Friday, July 25th.
