Streaming Now! Progressive Metalcore NEXT DOOR TO HEAVEN’s New EP “Inside”
Russian progressive metalcore band Next Door To Heaven‘s new EP “Inside” is now out as of Thursday, March 25th. The self-released EP is the follow up to the band’s 2020 single “Dance With Me” and the 2019 sophomore album “V Ways To Accept” released on Sliptrick Records.
“Inside” features five djenty melodic prog tracks along with special guest vocals from Lord Nelson (ex-Stuck Mojo) on the record’s closing song “Flare Up”. The band’s discography has always been known for flirting with djent metalcore influences and this new release is no different, except this time guitarist Evgenii “Gene” Mazunov took the helm on the band’s sound with the use of a 9-string Ibanez along with bass, arrangement, and composition duties. Also joining as a guest for the recording is well-known Russian drummer Pavel Lokhnin (God Eat God, Dominia, Perimeter).
Vocalist and lyricist Daria Mazunova comments:
“We put our souls into the music we create, always. It’s not about making music for something in return, not about making it for fun. It’s about emotions transformed into music. I would say for ‘Inside’, we entered into more metalcore territory though it doesn’t mean there aren’t prog components or experimentation done. Conceptually, the general idea of the EP is a fight between a human and a machine and a master/obeying inside one person. If you look at the cover art you will see a heart combined with a car engine in the moment of ignition.”

==============================
BAND STORY ANGLES / FUN FACTS:
1. Once during the tour before our show there was a local band and its vocalist literally got drunk as hell. Surprisingly it was one of the best vocalists singing/screaming live I’ve ever heard so he was totally fine with this condition and also was very friendly with us.
2. While touring and driving from one place to another kilometers away from the big city at night we met a deer ready to run right before our car. Luckily something has stopped him from doing this. We were so happy when both the deer and us were ok.
3. Evgenii “Gene” had thyroid cancer in 2016 and shortly after the surgery and treatment he started recording tracks and performing. First, we thought it’s going to be much harder to do that but then realized it has helped him to get better too.
4. It’s funny how people from other countries sometimes look suspicious hearing it’s a Russian band coming to town to perform but normally right after 1-2 songs people who didn’t hear us before relax and understand we’re not going to drink litres of vodka and play balalaikas.
5. We rarely use amplifiers for playing live and it’s amazing to see some people getting shocked about how we’re going to play without them.

(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – March 21, 2020
NEXT DOOR TO HEAVEN New Single ‘Dance With Me’
Russian progressive metalcore band Next Door To Heaven release the new stand-alone single ‘Dance With Me’ to follow their 2019 album “V Ways To Accept” released on Sliptrick Records. The melodic, djenty and proggy track follows NDTH’s signature sound. The song is about relationships, an unconscious feeling of the presence of a close person even if logic and reality tell you this person can’t be here now. It differs from “V Ways To Accept” because the message from ‘Dance With Me’ is about recovery, not the misery.
Listen to ‘Dance With Me’ at the following links:
YouTube
Spotify
Plus available for download on Apple Music, Google Play, Amazon.
In addition to the new single, the band released a new video music video last week ‘Depression I: Razors’ HERE in support of “V Ways To Accept”.
“V Ways To Accept” (Sliptrick Records) is the second album by the band that was released last year. With that full length, the band took the listener on a long journey with a concept story based around human emotions. The 10 track album began from the denial stage, going through anger, bargaining, depression and ending with acceptance. All the songs were influenced by personal experience, making this full length very sincere from the beginning to the end, each song has its own mood and involves different sub-genres, which makes a much richer impression for the listener.
“V Ways To Accept” is available on Shop Sliptrick, Apple Music, Spotify.
