🔥 New Pelagic signing Hanry release new song “Ether”
Standout track and lead single ‘Ether’ is a haunting showcase of the collective’s ever evolving musical maturity. Ice-cold motifs float effortlessly on top of each other as the track’s dynamic ebbs and flows from a delicate whisper to an almighty roar before drifting off into the dark leaving us desperate for more without ever saying a word.
Aerial manoeuvres above the cloudline, endless drives through the city at night; The digitally-released Disruption EP will be Hanry’s first collaborative effort with Pelagic Records and there are even grander plans already in the works.
‘Disruption EP’ will be released on 10th January, 2025.
Hanry on ‘Ether’:
“Ether is colorless and volatile, somewhere beyond the clouds, highly flammable. It took a year to finalize this song, a year to find the sound we wanted for our next music. We’re very proud of what we’ve done during the past few months and we can’t wait to share it all with you. Thanks to Pelagic Records for helping this happen.“

POTHAMUS - Savartuum Avur
🔥 Pothamus release new song ‘Savartuum Avur’
Lead single and the first piece written for the album, ‘Savartuum Avur’ is an uncompromising invitation to cast away the preconceived beliefs and social constructs that lure us away from a sense of spiritual unity. Building as one like a gathering storm, ‘Savartuum Avur’ is Pothamus embracing chaos as the generative force behind creation; unleashing their unmistakable cosmic sludge metal in an exhilarating statement of intent.
The stark, monochrome performance video that accompanies ‘Savartuum Avur’ not only mirrors the in-the-moment, chaotic energy of the track but also serves as a reminder of the transcendental experience that is Pothamus performing live.
Pothamus on ‘Savartuum Avur’:
“This track is layered with a brooding atmosphere that evokes a sense of elemental energy, possibly tied to the forces of nature. As the first piece written for the new record, it serves as a transitional bridge between past and present, making it a fitting choice for the album’s first single, capturing both familiar and ever evolving sonic landscapes. With lyrical references to ‘Raya’ it creates a thematic link to the band’s previous work, grounding the song in continuity while marking the start of a new creative chapter.”

PELAGIC RECORDS sign TELEPATHY
🔥 Pelagic Records sign Telepathy
Today we’re very excited to welcome UK-based cinematic metal 4-piece Telepathy to our growing artist roster. We’ve had our eyes on Telepathy ever since their show at Pelagic Fest in Berlin in 2018. Their upcoming album is really an enormous piece of heavy music that we’re sure you’ll cherish as much as we do.
The band comments:
„An oath and an augury of things to come.
We are thrilled to join Pelagic Records for future releases. It's both an honor and great privilege to find home amongst such an inspirational roster of artists. Stay tuned.
End Transmission.“
Keep your eyes peeled for more news to drop soon! 👀
🔥 i Häxa release visualizer for ‘Oils & Inks’ taken from their upcoming self-titled debut full length, to be released on November 1st on Pelagic Records.
Whilst the album is composed of four distinct movements, each consisting of four distinct tracks themselves; pulling them apart into easily digestible, standalone singles isn’t an easy feat and, as is now clear from the project’s sprawling cyclic nature, was never the intention.
With aural, visual and lyrical themes freely intertwining, i Häxa is something to be consumed whole; just as it will, in time, consume you.

🔥 Here’s another new unplugged video rendition of KLONE ’s newly released album title-track ‘The Unseen’.
Klone’s Guillaume Bernard comments:
“It just felt right to debut ‘Interlaced’ and ‘The Unseen’ in France at this concert; in a beloved venue, to a warm and welcoming audience. It's always a stressful moment to play songs that the audience doesn't know, and there’s definitely a certain fragility to this performance, but we think it lends it a certain charm. They’re raw, unedited versions, spontaneously captured by a fan, which just makes the moment even more special.”
Filmed at Le Ferrailleur in Nantes, France shortly after the band returned from touring the UK with Polish prog-rock band Riverside, the videos marked the debut performance of these new pieces on home soil and serve as a spellbinding insight into the newfound musical and lyrical vulnerabilities that Klone explore on their new album.
‘The Unseen’ is released 8th November, 2024. ☝🏻 Watch the full video over at our Youtube channel ▶️ https://youtu.be/rEteIunF1iI

KLONE - Interlaced Unplugged
🔥 French art-rock outfit KLONE have shared a fan-filmed videos of acoustic performance of ‘Interlaced’, the opening track from their forthcoming full-length album, ‘The Unseen’, set for release on November 8th, 2024.
Filmed at Le Ferrailleur in Nantes, France shortly after the band returned from touring the UK with Polish prog-rock band Riverside, the videos marks the debut performance of these new pieces on home soil and serve as a spellbinding insight into the newfound musical and lyrical vulnerabilities that Klone explore on ‘The Unseen’.
An immersive, dreamlike experience that pushes Klone’s already sumptuous sound to new, magisterial heights, ‘The Unseen’ charts a bold, introspective course into our sense of self and speaks to the significance of things that might at first glance seem to lack it. Whether in full amplified might or, as in this case, stripped-back to its delicate acoustic core, every track on ‘The Unseen’ pushes the band to their expressive limit with an intensity that, whilst sometimes abrasive, simultaneously feels natural, coherent and unified as the band move from motif, message and melody as one; guided as ever by the unmistakable voice and vision of Yann Ligner.

SUGAR HORSE - Spit Beach
🔥 Sugar Horse premiere new song ‘Spit Beach’
The new single, ‘Spit Beach’, is ‘80s-inspired, coldwave ballad colliding, without warning, with churning sludge beatdowns as Tubb considers how formative moments and experiences of his father’s life imbued him with a deeply fatalistic outlook and how, in turn, this cynicism has been passed onto Tubb.
However, for Tubb this is a shared connection to be cherished as he and the rest of Sugar Horse turn the song’s immediate premise on its head, transforming what could have been a discordant, laconic lament into a resounding battle cry in praise of pessimism.
Sugar Horse’s Ashley Tubb on ‘Spit Beach’:
“This song is almost meant to be a pessimist’s battle cry. When I sing it, I feel like I’m channelling him in a way… Even though he would’ve probably just thought it was a horrible row.”
‘The Grand Scheme of Things’ is released on the 4th of October. Pre-order / stream / download here ▶️ https://orcd.co/sugarhorse

KLONE - The Unseen
🔥 KLONE have released the title track from their forthcoming full-length album, ‘The Unseen’, set for release on November 8th, 2024.
The album’s title track sees Klone deftly balance musical melancholy with uplifting optimism as the five-piece build a lilting, 6/8 groove before dialing up the distortion to euphoric heights whilst Ligner’s words resound with a newly uncovered outpouring of lyrical vulnerability that celebrates the bittersweet beauty of the moment.
�With such an inimitable 25 years of music already behind them, it seems apt that ‘The Unseen’ is also Klone’s 10th full-length release. The album serves as a milestone that uses reflections on the past as a means of appreciating the beauty of the present, with the band employing their shared decades of creativity and collaboration to offer enlightening new perspectives on the here and now.
Yann Ligner on ‘The Unseen’:
"’The Unseen’ is a contemplative piece which takes time to fully open up. Musically, we tried to strike a delicate balance between melancholy and optimism and lyrically I tried to reflect the fleeting beauty of a vulnerable nature and, as such, the importance of embracing the present moment; whatever it may bring.”

LIZZARD - Black Sheep
🔥 LizZard first single ‘Black Sheep’
‘Black Sheep’ explores the daily dichotomy of body and mind through impassioned, introspective lyrics atop the band’s bracing one-two punch of thunderous, polyrhythmic drums and colossal riffs.
LIZZARD have also shared a striking video for the single, which sees the dark, angular edges of their sound colliding, both figuratively and physically, with an ethereal dancing presence clothed in flowing white bandages.
LIZZARD on ‘Black Sheep’:
“‘Black Sheep’ is about the eternal duality of body and mind, black and white, yin and yang, that we all face each and every day.”
