On May 24th, Italian stoner/desert rock band Kayleth released their latest album, New Babylon, through Argonauta Records. Today, the band unveils the official music video for ‘Weak Heart,’ now streaming on the official Argonauta Records YouTube channel: ‘Weak Heart’ song speaks of our fear of showing ourselves for who we are to others , even to the people we love most.

It happens especially when we only want to be loved and despite this being wrong, we persevere even to the point of physical and emotional ..read more

Hi! What inspired the bold title “Gods of Metal,” and how does it reflect who you are as a band? Hello! Well, if you start your journey into the metal world with your first album called „LEGENDS“ where do you go from there to top it? The title is kept in some ambiguity on purpose for the fan to decide how to reflect it… How does the “Year of the Dragon” tie into your album’s theme, and why did you choose it? Since we wanted to have a major asian theme on the album the subtitle was added as a clear pointer to that. Obviously it also marks the year the album comes out. It might be a bit in your ..read more

What does Crimson Veil represent for you after Birdeatsbaby? Crimson Veil was the next musical evolution of our sound. It made more sense to break free into this new project as now it’s firmly in the metal sphere, and we wanted to reach music fans who are into the heavier music. I think Birdeatsbaby fans are happy that we are continuing as a band, with the same dark music and band members, it’s just now we’re making metal alongside our other influences. We’re fully immersed in this project now and can’t wait to deliver the first album. Can you explain the concept behind your “ritualistic” and ..read more

Mayhem, or The True Mayhem needs no introduction. On September 3, we celebrated Mayhem’s 40th anniversary, with an incredible concert, which I am glad I managed to see… First of all, I had never seen so many people at Quantic Club before, coming to see a band, mixed ages, from young, to old, everybody came to see the legendary Norwegian black metal band. And yes, it was sold out! I don’t want to blabber too much, therefore, I will go straight forward; Mayhem hit the stage with a 30-minute delay, from what I understood, it was a power cut before I arrived at the venue which ..read more

War in. First time when I heard the name Kanonenfieber was in the end of 2021, when Dmytro Kumar, 1914 vocalist mentioned this name in the interview. I checked one or two songs, noted the good mix of black metal, death and catchy melodies but that’s all. However, everything changed drastically when I saw Kanonenfieber on stage at Hellfest. I got there with zero expectations but after an hour I became a huge fan, who digs deep into the lyrics and can’t get enough of the band’s music. And I believe I wasn’t the only one who was impressed so much: the music and theatrical show with uniforms, bala ..read more
