Saliva, Drowning Pool, Adelitas Way, & Any Given Sin Team Up for the Snafu Le Tour, Fall 2023

August 5, 2023 — Leave a comment

Please note: I am not certain about the last four dates, except Sadler Ranch (because I found the show listed on their website). Everywhere else, including Saliva’s official site, has the tour ending on the 22nd. I think the other dates were added later, and maybe the lists haven’t been updated? So I just went with the tour poster.

Seethe Set to Share New Single + Collab Track

July 21, 2023 — Leave a comment

Tomorrow, July 22nd, is a big day for Seethe. The alternative/trap metal artist is releasing not one, but two new tracks!

First is “Linear,” the latest single from Seethe’s forthcoming album Delenda: A Black Rose on the Epitaph. With “Linear,” Seethe continues the personal journey started with “Can’t Breathe.” Now free from the psych ward and that sense of being trapped, both literally and metaphorically, “Linear” addresses the writer’s introspection upon being released. The song takes on the challenges of altering both the direction of your life and your mental state. In a way, “Linear” is hopeful, though the slower paced beat and raw, anguished vocals speak all too clearly of the agony of struggling for, in Seethe’s own words, “normality and balance.”

The second drop is Seethe’s collaboration with twelve other vocalists, entitled “The Cypher of the Mourning Star.” According to Seethe, “I wanted to give back to those that have helped me and put me on along the way.” All of the featured artists shared the common ground of metal, but each brought his own unique style to the track. With an overall trap metal feel, the variations of delivery range from heavy metal growls and semi-melodic cleans to full-on rapping and metalcore-worthy screams. It is five minutes and twenty-two seconds of artists working together and throwing down, and their enjoyment shines through, the pride in their project evident.

You can presave “Linear” and “The Cypher of the Mourning Star” at the links below. Both songs release everywhere tonight at midnight!
