Rockshots Records: Feel The Demonic Possession w/ KARPENTER’s New Single “Mechanical Sense”
New Album “Sleepless” Out May 28th
KARPENTER (named in tribute to horror master John Carpenter) will be releasing their debut album “Sleepless” on May 28th via Rockshots Records. The album will be a gateway to a hostile and tormented world, where space and time are perceived in a distorted way. Each track hides a story, and a tale steeped in fear all inspired by horror movie themes and characters such as “Perfection Valley” for Tremors, “No Vacancy” for Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, “Shark” influenced by Jaws, and “The Manor” for Army of Darkness.
With just a few days until the full-length is unleashed, these horror fiends are sharing their latest music video for “Mechanical Sense”, which is inspired by the horror video board game Atmosfear. It’s a fast and impactful track that speaks of demonic possession as a metaphor of the inability to manage choices and actions in everyday life.
“This song is here to make a clear point: we can play hard and heavy if we want. “Mechanical Sense” is like a fast train running with no rails and boundaries. It is clearly a speedy metal song filled with stunning melodies and majestic mid-tempo openings. It’s a no-brainer when it comes to the power of sound and it is so funny to play! ” adds the band.

Rockshots Records: KARPENTER Unleashes Army of Darkness Inspired Music Video “The Manor”
New Album “Sleepless” Out May 28th
KARPENTER will be releasing their debut album “Sleepless” this coming May 2021 via Rockshots Records.

The band adds:
“The Manor” is like an endless battle that brings many emotions to the table. We conceived it as a struggle to defend what’s most important to us, in an everlasting balance between win and loss, triumphant metal rides, and bitter melodic chords. “The Manor” is a hymn to revenge and it is set in a fictitious “dark era” that might evoke the Middle Ages. It sounds so powerful and punchy that we couldn’t prevent it from spreading so fiercely.”
“Sleepless” was recorded and mixed by Gabriele Ravaglia (Extrema) and Gianmarco Bambini at Fear Studio in Italy, and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Epica, Fleshgod Apocalypse).
For fans of In Flames, Amorphis, Machine Head, and Mercenary, KARPENTER will release “Sleepless” via Rockshots Records on May 28th.

Rockshots Records: KARPENTER Unleashes A “Shark” Size Bite w/ New Single
New Album “Sleepless” Out May 28th
KARPENTER will be releasing their debut album “Sleepless” this coming May 2021 via Rockshots Records. The album will be a gateway to a hostile and tormented world, where space and time are perceived in a distorted way. Each track hides a story, and a tale steeped in fear all inspired by horror movie themes and characters such as “The Manor” for Army of Darkness, “Perfection Valley” for Tremors, “No Vacancy” for Alfred Hitchock’s Psycho, and their first single “Shark” influenced by Jaws, which is being unleashed today.
The band adds:
“This is probably the most atypical song of the album, the most introspective and dark. We choose “Shark” as the first single, because it represents our most inner-self; gloomy vocal melodies and cinematic orchestral surroundings are shining in symphony with guitar arpeggios and solos, built on a solid rhythmic structure. It is a very dramatic song full of pathos.”
KARPENTER‘s members have shared the stage with established bands such as The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Ghost Inside, Poison The Well.
KARPENTER are:
Filippo Tellerini – Vocals

By connecting old-school influences with modern-sounding songs, the band aims at keeping the core of the style that characterized the past while projecting itself toward new and original experimentations of sounds and metal sub-genres.
