Symphonic metal up-and-comers Shield Of Wings have dropped the orchestrations for just a moment. Showcasing the multiple vocal talents in the band, bassist Alex Luke took on the acapella arrangements of several of the bands favorite songs, including: DIMMU BORGIR "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse", AD INFINITUM "Seth", EPICA "Unleashed", SEVEN SPIRES "Shadow on an Endless Sea", MOONSPELL "Scorpion Flower" and ELEINE "All Shall Burn".
Alex shared, "I've had a really great time working on these a cappella arrangements for Shield Of Wings. When I was younger I spent a lot of time making arrangements for choirs and a cappella groups; I even published and sold some on sheetmusicplus.com. But I had gotten away from it in recent years, primarily focusing on bass with SHIED OF WINGS. So it's been a real treat to go back to my roots and focus on pure vocal music for a little bit. Working with such talented singers is the cherry on top." (continue)

Caskets, who recently announced their new album Reflections for an August 11 release on SharpTone Records, have today released a video for an affirming new single "Better Way Out."
Speaking of the track, frontman Matt Flood says, "'Better Way Out' is a song that relates to suicidal thoughts and tendencies. It's a song about noticing and understanding the trials and tribulations of life, about rising above the feelings of depression and anxiety and knowing your self-worth. To have somebody say that they see you and they hear you, or to have a community by your side while you go through these daily battles, isn't something afforded to everybody. So many of us can blindly walk through the barriers that we build inside our heads, alone without a shoulder to cry on or a friend to lend an ear." (continue)
