New Music Alert: CloZure + Modern Mimes

Two dynamic female-fronted bands have recently released new singles. Hard rockers CloZure shared “The Devil Effect” on February 9th, while alt-rock outfit Modern Mimes served up “Roses in Ruins” one week later, on February 16th.

CloZure on the set of the video for “The Devil Effect”

Formed in Enterprise, Alabama, CloZure boasts a take-no-prisoners approach in their latest track, “The Devil Effect.” This is the band’s first release to feature new frontwoman Elizabeth Nikollaj. A song dealing with the emotional topics of betrayal and overcoming the anger and hatred it inspires, “The Devil Effect” showcases the renewed energy with which CloZure entered 2024. Featuring a stunning vocal performance from Elizabeth and some seriously wicked guitar work, the track understandably broke iTunes top alternative chart twice, as well as iTunes rock top 20, and it ranked at #3 on the iTunes metal charts. It also hit #1 on Amazon’s new alt-rock releases and #2 on the alt-rock best seller list.

Modern Mimes [2023]

Modern Mimes, who hail from the depths of Florida, are as velveteen and sultry as the summer nights in their homestate, and their latest single, “Roses in Ruins,” is a testament to that. According to the band, the song is about battling your inner demons, in whatever form they may take, and conquering that which poisons your roots. The track is as dark and heavy as its subject matter, and singer Adi Hernandez’s intonations soar to ever-greater heights, goosebump-inducing in their strength and clarity. “Roses in Ruins” is available for streaming on all major platforms. Modern Mimes also recently welcomed drummer Harley Mitchell to the lineup, so stay tuned for a new era in 2024!

Bands You Should Know: Shadow Reborn

You may remember my mentioning Shadow Reborn back in May, when I wrote this review of their EP, Realm of the Wicked. Well, I’m here to insist, again, that you check out this band!

Shadow Reborn is from Florida and offers all the glitz and glam of the 80s hair metal era with the darker macabre element of bands such as The 69 Eyes, Type O Negative, and Lacrimosa. A self-proclaimed theatrical goth metal act, this quintet has time traversing imagery, lyrics that delve straight into the human psyche, heavy riffs, and catchy anthemic choruses. Thus far, they have released two EPs – Intricacies (2015) and Realm of the Wicked (2022) – and several singles.

Below are my favorite track from Shadow Reborn, as well as their most recent single, and links to their socials. Be sure to follow them to keep up with any news, show announcements, and/or music releases.

My favorite. This song is the fifth track on Intricacies.
“Her Mortal Embrace” was released in 2021 and appears on Realm of the Wicked.
