Tzimani Announce USA/ CAN Tour Dates
+ Reissue Self-Titled EP
On Diabolic Might Records (vinyl) – July 2020 & Bonita Steel Records (digital) – March 27th
Tzimani, a duo comprised of the Vazquez brothers, whose sound is part the burgeoning revival of the new wave of American heavy metal, will be hitting the road across the USA and Canada for twenty-seven dates in support of the reissue of their debut self-titled EP on Bonita Steel Records for digital format and Diabolic Might Records for vinyl. The EP also features covers of Dio’s ‘Night People’ and W.A.S.P.’s ‘Doctor Rockter’ along with tracks from their 2017 demo.
Stream ‘Night’ People’ (DIO cover) here.
Music Video ‘We Are The Ones’ here.
The tour will hit sights unknown in the USA and continue its foray into Canadian lands yet unconquered when it kicks off in San Diego on March 26th and ends in Pasadena, CA on April 27th (dates listed below).
Bringing forth twin guitar leads, melodic solos, catchy choruses and a sharp, but raspy vocal technique, Tzimani make you feel that you are right in the middle of the 1980s heavy metal explosion, echoing sounds of legends, i.e. Guns N’ Roses, Mötley Crüe, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.
The duo originally released their self-titled EP in 2018, which is now being reissued digitally by Bonita Steel Records on March 27th and on vinyl by Diabolic Might Records this coming July 2020.

“Despite sparking synapses associated with a variety of high-octane hard rock and metal birthed in the days of yore, this self titled debut EP genuinely feels fresh-faced. Pull on your leather, put the pedal to the metal, and smell the gasoline …” – Sleeping Village Reviews
“One of the best bands to come out of the San Diego area and another great signing by Metal Assault Management. These tracks fill you with that 70s-80s Heavy Metal you love and need in your life, but it’s updated just enough to give their own flavoring. What makes this even better is that this band is two brothers, Eddie and Sebastian Vazquez. It’s great to see family that gets together for the power of metal. They are going to go far if they are capable of this so early in their career.” – That Drummer Guy
“Considering the relative short time together as Tzimani, it’s easy to gauge the band’s great instincts when it comes to songwriting, performance, and execution. They have all the tools to get the beer flowing and the fists flying high, and that’s the name of the game to building an audience in the metal landscape.” – Dead Rhetoric
“The song [Overdrive] is a thrashing speed demon of a hit, only ever slowing down to release a soaring refrain with a powerful vocal delivery. The guitars are downright filthy in their approach, ripping through solos and arpeggios with ease, not to mention the blistering pace of the verse riff.” – New Noise Magazine
“This was only an EP, can you imagine how their full length will be like? This nice little teaser will have your speed demon wanting more.” – Ugh Metal

(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – February 28, 2020
For fans A Day to Remember, Cane Hill, Billy Talent, Avenged Sevenfold
Diamonds On Neptune Share Their Raging New Single ‘Erase’
Diamonds On Neptune have their next single to unleash, ‘Erase’, a track that is much more aggressive and is a knockout punch compared to their previous song ‘Catawampus’ released this past December. A fusion of genres, adding elements that can be recognized and interpreted in many ways, Diamonds On Neptune shuns sonic consistency and embraces sounds that paint a picture of an experience or a sensation that ranges all emotions; fear, anger, paranoia, euphoria, pride, and acceptance. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly where they stand, but fans of A Day to Remember, Cane Hill, Billy Talent, and Avenged Sevenfold are sure to take a liking to them.
The band comments:
“This one is a rager, it’s unhinged and animalistic. There is less of a message we are trying to push here and more of a sensation, we hope the crowd will let loose and that chaos will ensue. We get asked about this one a lot and we are very excited to finally be putting it out there.”
The band is premiering the video for ‘Erase’ via TheCirclePit YouTube channel HERE.
For those who enjoy the single, take note that Diamonds On Neptune expects to release a steady stream of singles throughout the coming year.
You can listen to the band’s previous single ‘Catawampus’ HERE.

0 Australia’s VICTORIA K Premieres Video ‘Forsaken’ via Heavy Mag
(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – February 28, 2020
For fans of Nightwish, Kamelot, Eluveitie, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation
Australia’s VICTORIA K Premieres Video ‘Forsaken’
Debut Album “Essentia” Out April 24, 2020
Australia’s Victoria K is sharing their new video ‘Forsaken’ featuring Sheri Vengeance in support of the forthcoming debut album “Essentia” due out April 24, 2020 via Rockshots Records. The full length was produced by Lee Bradshaw and features special guest Michalina Malisz (Eluveitie).
The video can be viewed via its premiere on Heavy Magazine HERE.
Victoria K adds about the track:
“‘Forsaken’ is written about when you turn away from your beliefs and you lose your morals and your way in life. Your thoughts become clouded and unclear while you search for guidance and clarity. Feeling lost, angry and unsure of how and what you are before finding your way again which lifts the veil and gives you clear vision and direction again.”

Presave: https://backl.ink/125352804
Other Single:
‘Lacuna’ – https://youtu.be/vHqZ7tMu0xw
Album pre-order – http://bit.ly/essentia_preorder
The Melbourne singer/songwriter has made her mark on the rock and metal scene with the release of her debut single ‘Monster’ in 2016, featuring guitar work by Brett Garsed (John Farnham Band) along with her 2019 follow up track ‘Lacuna’ distributed in Australia and New Zealand by Warner Music Group (Australia) and is the lead single off the upcoming album.
The single garnered a lot of media praise and created an opportunity for Victoria K to support Swiss folk metal giants Eluveitie for their May 2019 tour date in Melbourne, a performance that had the crowd chanting for an encore.
Although the album was originally a solo project, it has now developed into the current band structure with each member bringing their own energy and experience to the collective. The band is looking forward to collaborating on future releases and is now heavily focused on the release of this debut full length in April.
Victoria K adds:
“I really hope that when our fans and new listeners hear the album they can all find something that they connect with on a deeper level. Whether that connection is found from within the music itself or from specific lyrics, I really hope they find something familiar, which can connect them to some experience they have had, invoking memories and feelings, eliciting an emotional response.”
Victoria K‘s talented songwriting and compositional influences include Evanescence, Within Temptation, Nightwish and Kamelot amongst other current bands in the European metal scene and her music have been likened to be a blend of these influences. Victoria K has racked up hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube with her own original creations and through featured videos alongside a number of talented musicians covering a plethora of songs. Victoria K‘s covers include Iron Maiden’s “The Trooper”, Nightwish’s “Last Ride of the Day”, Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters” and Kamelot’s “Insomnia”, the latter of which received attention from the band themselves on Twitter and led to a meeting of talents when the American power metal band found themselves in Melbourne during their 2018 ‘The Shadow Theory’ Australian tour.

1. Freedom Uncharted (feat. Sheri Vengeance) (4:37)
2. Surreal (3:30)
