"Like Wolves is an invocation of hunger, wildness, and transformation – a spiritual howl in the dark", guitarist and singer Joshua Levi Ian writes on behalf of the band. "Both a love song and a battle cry, it prowls the liminal space between sainthood and savagery, where the sacred and the profane tangle together in the fever of the desert night. Written on a restless road trip through the Mojave, the song channels the energy of its vast expanses and all-night dives. Headlights cut through dust; a neon cross flickers in the distance; static-soaked blues haunt the radio waves with warnings from the past. Like Wolves swaggers forward with a warped vision of reverbed 1960s surf guitars, soaring strings, lurching Shangri-Las-esque basslines, and hypnotic rhythms, swerving recklessly between darkness and light, desire and devotion, before converging in an ecstatic embrace of a truth beyond all dualisms. This song is about learning to look unflinchingly into the fiercer face of love learning to be truly alive. While wandering the high desert, we spent time with a company of wolves at a rescue shelter. Though exiled from their native lands, they remained untamed – ferociously alive, alight with something far wilder than mere survival. Looking into their eyes, we saw the same fire we sought to feed within us. This song translates sparks of that fire into sound. When your world starts to fall apart, you're forced to make a choice – capitulate or create. Either submit, or bare your teeth and let the wild in. But first, you have to find the space within yourself that is still feral, still free."

Austere - Time Awry
Today, Australian black & dark metal duo Austere unveil the video clip 'Time Awry' as the first single taken from their forthcoming fifth album "The Stillness of Dissolution" (release: June 6).

"It was the second song written for 'The Stillness of Dissolution', our forthcoming new album", guitarist, keyboard player, and vocalist Mitchell Keepin explains on behalf of the duo. "The first few songs written for the album tend to have a slightly more stripped back 'rock' sound than those written later, and that is on display here. Lyrically, it is presented from the viewpoint of a betrayed and solemn soul – a man with a heightened awareness of the inescapable running of time and seeking to accelerate that process."

"While I was on tour with Nathanael Larochette, he dedicated this song to my two best friends that had passed", composer and instrumentalist Jurre Timmer explains. "The track is a humbling and fitting memento that strikes me deeply. This is especially true as it comes from an artist who inspired me to start my musical journey in this genre. In return, I wanted to close the circle of his gesture by creating my own rendition of it."

"We have never treated music videos as just another promotional tool", enigmatic singer Katsiaryna "Nokt Aeon" Mankevich declares. "We see every clip as a chance to explore the story and emotions behind a track even further through visual means. This video was originally planned for 2023, but due to many reasons, we are only able to reveal it now. Despite the long wait, its topics have become even more relevant as Plague, War, Famine, and Death have not gone away. These Four Horsemen have only moved closer towards all of us. Then again, just maybe these are actually Four Horsewomen."
Drown - Subaqueous
"Subaqueous", the second album by Portland funeral doom project Drown , was released on February 28 five years ago.

Drown is based on an ongoing conceptual story and to be seen as a musical theater of sorts, focusing on one protagonist among other characters. Since such stories can work on a metaphorical level too, mastermind Markov says: "The drowning of our lives is as much a metaphor as it is a construct to escape into on this album. The common woe of human life are the various forms of grief and depression we feel as loss."

All paths have been traveled to avoid the one pass
A truth in the heart, not to phase nor deceive
You have rushed and run, yet back you are here

Hence pass through this darkness to ignite the true dawn
Speak it, confess, let it be done
- Chapter IV is ready to be revealed on 25 March.
