●●● Italian Fuzz-Heavy Rockers Dune Aurora sign to Octopus Rising to release their debut album ●●●

"We are extremely happy to announce our new collaboration with Argonauta/Octopus Rising. It is amazing to be part of this family for the upcoming album. This is an important step for us and we are thrilled to see what lies ahead. Stay tuned for upcoming news!" - says the band.

Recently, the band released the official music video for "Fire."
Check it out: https://youtu.be/mr-REzPPITs?si=VCI8JS6kU3bf1riW

Dune Aurora is a fuzz/heavy rock band from Turin, Italy. The band was started in 2020 by Ginny Wagon and Claudia Schiavone, respectively lead singer/guitarist and bassist of Gypsy Wagon – a band from Turin active from 2010 – with Serena Bodratto, drummer of Dirty Wings from Alessandria. After a first period spent composing, Antonella Coccia (lead guitarist, Maidens & the Beast) completed the line-up at the end of 2021.

Since October 2023 the line-up is reduced to three members and Roberta Finiguerra joins the band on bass. The band released their first EP – Lonely Town - in the summer of 2022. Recorded by Daniele Boris Gastaldi (Passover) at Saffey Road Studio in Novi Ligure, the EP is an ensemble of four tracks, in which the band experiments with their sound. It was released with a Kabuto Art Lab’s artwork by Massimo “Kabuto” Repetto, Genova.

A video was made by Rocco D’Anzi with the song Lonely Town at Docks Dora in Torino. In summer 2023 the band recorded three more songs at Magma Studio in Turin, Italy with Davide Donvito and the master by James Plotkin, Plotkinworks USA. These songs have been released as stand-alone singles, Solar Reward, Sail and Fire, each with a music video which came out from a collaboration with Matteo Melotto, director, fashion designer and performer.

The band has been performing live in northern Italy, individually or sharing the stage with other bands of the stoner rock scene. Currently, they are working on their first album and playing live.

*** Italian heavy rockers Sbarco will release their debut self-titled album on September 13th ***

Today is also the day the band releases their new single and official music video for "The Future." Watch it here: https://youtu.be/aNVqM1xuMWg

"No matter how much you fear it, program it, idealize it: the future is unwritten. There are no tricks and shortcuts; would living for the moment help? We run in circles pursuing happiness, pursuing love." - says the band

The "Sbarco" album tracklisting and cover art are as follows:

The landing
The future
The dawn
The companion
The dream
The siren
The heart
The boat pt.1
The boat pt.2

The band comments on the album: "The album took shape and unfolds as a mental journey through fundamental themes (loneliness, despair, love and hope) where the maritime imagery serves to narrate the simplest and most universal emotions in a mystical and evocative way. The path unfolds by itself; is it relevant to question about its endline? It will always be all wrong, everything to be redone. Or maybe not. Recorded and mastered by Fabio "Trai" Intraina at Trai Studio during the last months of 2023".

Austrian epic death doom metal band Endonomos will release their new album, 'Endonomos II - Enlightenment,' on September 27 via Argonauta Records: CD, COLORED VINYL and DIGITAL DOWNLOAD (preorders will follow soon).

Album tracklisting and cover art are as follows:
1. Inversion
2. Atheon Anarkhon
3. Resolve
4. Entrapment
5. Hostile (ft. Daniel Droste of AHAB)
6. Kafir Qal'a

Today, the band also presents their new single, 'Atheon Anarkhon':
https://youtu.be/5vQu_sbXkA8

"The second single "Atheon Anarkhon" of Endonomos' upcoming second album is a far more sinister and menacing sounding song as the first single "Hostile".

From the uncanny intro of dissonant chords and unsettling sounds to heavy, mean riffs and a highly melodic chorus, this one sports all the trademarks of Endonomos' distinct style, while pushing it's boundaries.

The ancient Greek song title "Atheon Anarkhon" could be translated as "no god, no sovereign" and deals not only with the inseparability of atheism and anarchism, but mainly how their counterparts (theism and autocracy) contradict human nature and corrupt the human mind." - says the band.

*** Swiss Fuzz Heavy Rockers KAHFA Unveil Full Album Details for 'Le poison et la reine' ***

Swiss fuzz heavy rockers KAHFA will release their new album, 'Le poison et la reine,' on July 26th, 2024, via Argonauta Records.

Band comment on the album: "This album is the result of a year and a half in the rehearsal room, of our need to express what is the continuation of the project born almost 4 years ago, and which led us to record a first EP which has a completely different sound from the new job.

It is the realization of our continuous search for a sound, a musical genre, the strength of a strong passion.

For us this first full-length is a motivation to move forward and compose music that changes according to our personal change and our vision of the world which is constantly developing.
Our aim is to convey to the listener that vital force that characterizes our concerts and our approach to life.

For you, people who will listen, this work that has no stopping point at all."

Album tracklisting and cover art are as follows:
01. Alva
02. Le poison et la reine
03. Infernale torrefaction
04. RQPSM
05. Derniere sommation
06. Errance et dissidence
07. Ego trip
08. Le trip part III
09. Combat de chiens
10. Maredsous

In the heart of the picturesque landscapes of the Swiss Jura, an atypical musical duo is born, bringing a breath of fresh air into the music scene. KAHFA was born in Delémont in the summer of 2020, with a clear vision: to explore new musical dimensions.

In autumn 2021, they begin making their presence felt with the release of their first EP, "Sauvage". Their melodies, both haunting and authentic, reflect the raw reality of everyday life and the sincere emotions that accompany it. With an incendiary groove and fuzz tones, their heavy, captivating music resonates against a backdrop of French lyrics, transporting the audience into a frenzied state.

Like a bolt of lightning, their music strikes with raw intensity and electrifying energy. Inspired by icons ranging from Black Sabbath to Noir Désir, KAHFA transcends genres, creating a sound that breaks codes and defies convention.

Italian Grunge Heavy Rockers BRAIN PAIN will release their debut album, The Magazine, July 26th on CD and DIGITAL editions.

💥 The new single and official music video, 'Brain Cream,' is available now: https://youtu.be/31twEOMz_Rw 💥

The story behind the album:
The Magazine is first of all a word play with the Italian translation “La Rivista”, in fact, the word “rivista” has many meanings:

- The magazine is intended as a publication related to a specific field (ex. Fashion, art, music etc...)
- In military use, inspection by a superior to check the order of individual elements or departments. For us, it is the inspection of our own capabilities, of our mood, of our fears.
- Variety show which, in the once most widespread and popular form, consists of a series of attraction numbers in which the comedian, the soubrette and the dance troupe have a predominant role. Music as we intend it is more than just sound, it’s about the expression and energy of live exhibitions, and the comic shadow that always follows the tragic events we go through in our lives.

Secondly, this is a concept album, a story that follows the journey of a man who wins a golden ticket for a trip through his own multiverse.

Album tracklisting:
01. Brain Cream
02. Apricot Sorrow
03. The Saving
04. The Craving
05. Autoradiography
06. The Butcher of Grangaisbrook
07. Icahipi
08. Samsara
09. Spread Love Around
