SHORT BIO

Spain’s North of South brings to the table a hard to classify metal that could be labeled as Progressive Metal with Jazz, Death, Pop and Latin influences. Founded by guitarist Chechu Gómez (aka “Chechu Nos”), this project is the result of blending and amalgamating completely different elements and influences, such as At The Gates’ melodic punch, Carlos Santana’s Hispanic sounds, Opeth’s compositional deepness, The Police’s rich substrate-Pop, Anathema’s emotional power and Kate Bush’s chameleonic diversity.

Refusing to conform to genre standards and with a passion for his homeland, the first album “New Latitudes” will be released on September 28, 2018, adding an innovative, Mediterranean, and emotional dimension to the metal genre.

 LONG BIO

Spain’s North of South brings to the table a hard to classify metal that could be labeled as Progressive Metal with Jazz, Death, Pop and Latin influences. Founded by guitarist Chechu Gómez (aka “Chechu Nos”), this project is the result of blending and amalgamating completely different elements and influences, such as At The Gates’ melodic punch, Carlos Santana’s Hispanic sounds, Opeth’s compositional deepness, The Police’s rich substrate-Pop, Anathema’s emotional power and Kate Bush’s chameleonic diversity.

Similarly, the literary influence of authors such as Jorge Luis Borges, Orson Scott Card and William Shakespeare can be found in the songs of debut album “New Latitudes”, that, conceptually, gravitates around esoteric subjects like the enigma of time, the human condition, it’s challenges, and our own personal contradictions.

A longtime metal fan and guitar player, Chehu awaited his moment to begin writing his own songs and in 2017, that dream took flight. Situated in the captivating city of  León, Spain, the geographical location influenced Chechu’s decision on his project’s name:  “It makes reference to my city and my country. León is located in the north of Spain (from my country’s perspective) but in the south of Europe (from the continent’s perspective). In some way, the same interpretation is valid from a planetarian perspective as Spain is, more or less, in between what is considered the first and the third world.”

He goes on to explain the unique soundscape that can be found in his  music:

“The most important meaning [of the name] is the metaphorical one: the convergence of different cultures, the contrast of heaviness and melody, the mixing of different musical genres and, finally, the addition of southern/Mediterranean/latin sounds to Metal. You have the solid, hard, metallic element (North) blended with the warm, melodic, groovy ingredient (South).”

Refusing to conform to genre standards and with a passion for his homeland, the first album “New Latitudes” will be released on September 28, 2018, adding an innovative, Mediterranean, and emotional dimension to the metal genre.

Rockshots Records: Croatia’s SIDE EFFECTS To Release Fourth Album “Descending Rabbit Holes” Sept 28th

The energetic, eargasmic Croatian trio SIDE EFFECTS return to bring their progressive arrangements to the world for a fourth time with their next album “Descending Rabbit Holes”. Enhanced with a fusion of powerfully delivered, intricate drum parts, fierce bass, virtuoso guitars and poetic lyrics this album is the calling card of a no-frills rock power trio.

Sure to entice fans of Alter Bridge, Dream Theater, and Winery Dogs, the band continues to progress and evolve to share their experiences, opinions and feelings with their listeners. Ivan quotes about the upcoming album:

“The album doesn’t really have a unified meaning, but it’s named Descending Rabbit Holes, which is a line from the song Lint. What the title means is that every song aims to deeply explore the topic it deals with and therefore descends into the proverbial rabbit hole.”

Their new effort “Descending Rabbit Holes” is set to be released on September 28, 2018 via ROCKSHOTS RECORDS.

Montreal, QC – August 15, 2018

 

Romanian / Swedish Power Metal Trio CROSSING ETERNITY Premiere Video “High Above The Crown” via Metal-Rules

Debut Album “The Rising World” Out Now! via Rockshots Records



Unleashing their debut album “The Rising World” this past June on Rockshots Records, Romanian/Swedish symphonic power metallers CROSSING ETERNITY have a new video to share with fans exclusively premiered on Metal-Rules.com.

The lyric video is for their track “High Above The Crown” that can be viewed at the following link: http://www.metal-rules.com/2018/08/15/romanian-swedish-power-metal-trio-crossing-eternity-premiere-video-high-above-the-crown-via-metal-rules-com/

CROSSING ETERNITY‘s “The Rising World” blends elements of modern metal with psychedelic soundscapes alluding to the innocence of the 70s’ rock music. The album contains thirteen epic songs, widely varied in composition and arrangement. The lyrics are a natural extension of this musical experience and they are tales of a spiritual journey. At times they talk about the invisible side of the world, other times they speak of fairy tale magic characters. Human nature and the causal dynamic of human interactions are also among the approached topics.

In regards to recording of the album, singer Berti Barbera says:

“Recording this album was the most challenging vocal experience of my life. It brought back the times me and Manu were playing in a rock band, with all the jokes and high energy. The serious effort made me use a lot of techniques and ways of expression I thought I lost or never use again. This is a great achievement and definitely our best work together in a time I stopped believing in magic. There is something cosmos related in this, it must be. I can’t wait to be on stage with these guys.”

Manu Savu (Guitar/ Bass/ Keyboards) also reflects on the album:

“I wrote the music for this album as an introspective journey, like a confession, a deep soul search, a backward connection, a connection with the almost unseen world of metaphors and symbols, an essential part of our existence. It’s an act of honesty, a musical statement about what we can and cannot see, a story between the tangible and the magical world.”

The adventure of CROSSING ETERNITY started in the summer of 2017, when guitarist/composer Manu Savu entered the studio with a head full of great song ideas alongside fellow Romanian Berti Barbera, the band’s singer and Swedish Uffe Tillman taking on drum duties. Although the band is brand new, the three passionate, experienced musicians bring 25-30 years of experience across all genres with them. This mix of experience and wide variety of musical influences allows them to create a sound they describe as big, organic, personal, vibrant and honest.

Enjoying the privilege of sharing the stage with big names like Uriah Heep, Ten Years After, Scorpions, Larry Coryell, Blood, Sweat and Tears, the band’s main priority is to expand their boundaries and play worldwide, finding opportunities to make their music known and appreciated in as many countries as possible.
