Vajra have unleashed their brand new single "Truth Has Many Lies", along with an epic visualizer video. This single features the band's penchant for deftly weaving alternative metal and gothic prog with elements of world music, thus creating another richly unique and otherworldly realm for curious listeners to travel.
"Truth has many lies because truth has many eyes. And when we lift the comfort of our traditional focus, perhaps we can find more universal concepts of truth. We find ourselves in a new cycle, questioning who we are, and why we are where we are. The lyrics reflect this space. In the quest of uncovering who we are, we can identify and examine some of the external forces that have shaped us. By questioning the external, we can then uncover the internal. It's like riding the outer circles of a labyrinth mandala before entering the subtle internal spaces of our secret ourselves." - Vajra (continue)

Nectarous recently released a music video for their brand new single "Sugarcoat", and to celebrate we asked guitarist Brodie Perro to tell us about the track, which comes from their self-titled debut album.
Here is the story: What does it mean to have a sunny disposition? To be a cup half full sort of person? Our latest single, "Sugarcoat," embodies what it means to have those characteristics. Imagine you are the sort of individual going about their day, but nothing seems to go right. Whether your car just broke down, you lost your job, or some other issue is plaguing your life, it doesn't mean it is the end of the world. (continue)
