    Bastion Rose Drops Final Single, “Wild Honey,” Before Full-Length Album Traces of Gold Drops November 7th

    BLOOMINGTON, IN – October 24, 2025 – Hard rock band Bastion Rose is proud to announce the release of their last single, “Wild Honey,” today, Friday, October 24th. The track is the final offering before the highly anticipated release of their full-length debut album, Traces of Gold, available everywhere on Friday, November 7th. Both the single and the album were produced by three-time Grammy-winner David Bottrill (Tool, Rush, Godsmack)..

    “Wild Honey” is a massive, groove-driven track that delivers on the band’s promise of powerful, authentic hard rock. The song is heavy and fiercely riff-oriented, hitting a compelling sweet spot between Black Sabbath’s dark, foundational textures and Soundgarden’s primal intensity. It is a testament to the band’s songwriting maturity and their refusal to compromise on sonic depth or emotional weight.

    Traces of Gold has been built on a foundation of critical acclaim, following the successful Fade To Blue EP and singles like “Humble Me,” “Cinnamon Fire,” “Garden of Stone,” and “Atlas Slumbers.” The album is a powerful statement on resilience and transformation, forged from personal hardship and sculpted by Bottrill’s meticulous production. The album is an essential journey for listeners, described by SPIN Magazine as “an appealing combination of A Perfect Circle and Bad Company” and praised by Metal Hammer Magazine for its undeniable credibility.

    Bastion Rose continues to support its music with a series of professional, conceptual short films for every release, visualizing core themes of love and fear, chaos and seduction, and life and death. With significant momentum building across international press and streaming platforms, “Wild Honey” is positioned as the perfect gateway to the complete Traces of Gold experience.

    Instrumental Rock Phenomenon JON HARRIS Presents Wasted Entertainment (Playthrough)

    JON HARRIS returns with a new playthrough video for his track “Wasted Entertainment”, taken from his acclaimed album Parallel Heart (Epictronic).

    ‘Wasted Entertainment’ takes aim at our obsession with social media, calling out the endless scroll that eats away those precious hours of our lives. It’s one of the heavier songs on the album, built on an early riff and loaded with punchy textures and layered sounds that took me a few tries to get right. Recently, I met someone who said it was their favourite track on the whole record – so crank it up!

    Bastion Rose to Release New Single, “Atlas Slumbers,” Ahead of Debut Album Traces of Gold Release

    BLOOMINGTON, IN – Hard rock band Bastion Rose is set to release their new single, “Atlas Slumbers,” on Friday, October 3rd. The powerful new track will serve as a preview of their highly anticipated full-length debut album, Traces of Gold, which will be available everywhere on Friday, November 7th. Both the album and single were produced by three-time Grammy-winner David Bottrill (Tool, Rush, Godsmack, Mastodon, Coheed and Cambria, Muse).

    “Atlas Slumbers” tackles a profound concept, reimagining the Greek myth of Atlas. The song’s narrative follows a weary Atlas as he makes the ultimate choice to abandon his burden and let the world fall. The lyrics explore the struggle of shouldering immense weight and the ultimate liberation found in letting go. With powerful riffs and a cathartic build, the song is a compelling blend of classic rock’s darker angels and the modern intensity of post-grunge and metal.

    Traces of Gold is a testament to resilience, transforming personal adversity into a powerful, authentic, and emotionally charged musical experience.

  • Alternative Rock Discovery epoimóriròmiope Drops New Single and Video “coma”

    Alternative Rock Discovery epoimóriròmiope Drops New Single and Video “coma”

    epoimóriròmiope unveils their latest single and official video, “coma”, from the forthcoming album ricordi di un tempo mai esistito, out soon via Epictronic Worldwide.

    “coma” is a descent into the mind’s shadowed corners, a love letter written from the edge of breaking. Aggressive, intense, and unflinching, every riff and beat drags you further into epoimóriròmiope’s intense world — a place where chaos, pain, and emotion collide.

    About:

    Emerging in 2021 from Bologna, Italy, epoimóriròmiope fuses Metalcore, EDM, and Alternative Rock into a genre-defying sound. Originally a one-man project, it has evolved in both style and lineup—from the dark trap influences of Vincoli (2021) to the electronic experiments of kabukimono (2023). Singles from these albums remain on YouTube but have been withdrawn from streaming platforms to mark a fresh start with the definitive lineup and sound.

    Lyrically, the project has shifted from social observations to exploring the darkest corners of the human soul. The latest album, “ricordi di un tempo mai esistito”, delves into separation, loss, regret, anger, anxiety, and reflections on death and life’s fleeting nature. Its first single, “vertigine”, captures the dizzying weight of absence and memory, offering atmospheric, raw alt-rock where love, identity, and time seem to unravel.


    [ITA]

    “Gli epoimóriròmiope pubblicano il loro nuovo singolo e video ufficiale, “coma”, che anticipa l’album Ricordi di un tempo mai esistito, in arrivo a breve con Epictronic Worldwide.

    “coma” è una profonda immersione nelle zone d’ombra della mente, una lettera d’amore scritta quando si è vicini a crollare. Forte, intenso e senza compromessi, il brano ti trascina nel mondo potente degli epoimóriròmiope, dove caos, dolore ed emozioni si incontrano in modo esplosivo.”

    Nati nel 2021 a Bologna, Italia, gli epoimóriròmiope fondono Metalcore, EDM e Alternative Rock in un suono che sfida ogni genere. Nato come progetto solista, si è evoluto sia nello stile sia nella formazione: dalle influenze dark trap di Vincoli (2021) agli esperimenti elettronici di kabukimono (2023). I singoli di questi album sono ancora disponibili su YouTube, ma sono stati rimossi dalle piattaforme di streaming per segnare un nuovo inizio con la formazione definitiva e un suono rinnovato.

    Dal punto di vista lirico, il progetto è passato dall’osservazione sociale all’esplorazione degli angoli più oscuri dell’animo umano. Il nuovo album, ricordi di un tempo mai esistito, affronta temi come la separazione, la perdita, il rimpianto, la rabbia, l’ansia e la riflessione sulla morte e sulla fugacità della vita. Il primo singolo, “vertigine”, cattura il peso vertiginoso dell’assenza e della memoria, offrendo un alt-rock atmosferico e crudo in cui amore, identità e tempo sembrano sciogliersi.
