Torchia Releases Video for "Fury"
Torchia has released a new video for the first single titled "Fury". The band comments about the video as follows, "In the video for Fury, Torchia accompanies nameless souls in their danse macabre. The protagonist sets out to defeat the judgemental light, but gets dragged back into darkness. The blind live out their agony, for it is the only thing that haven't been taken from them." Check out the video HERE.
Dog In The Snow Releases Video for "Child"
Dog In The Snow (Brighton-based Helen Ganya Brown) just released the video for the second single "Child", from upcoming debut LP "Consume Me".

DIE SO FLUID ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM AND GIVES US THE DETAILS
Die So Fluid started writing fifth studio album "One Bullet From Paradise", in 2015. Their plan was to write a heavier, more instant album than their previous release The Opposites Of Light.
However, while the music remained fiercely uptempo, the lyrical content and themes grew darker as storm clouds swelled above them. Mid-US tour their record company evaporated alongside financial support and soon after their long-time manager disappeared without warning.
Both events seemed trivial when founder member, drummer and friend Al Fletcher died suddenly in July 2016 in the week he was due to start recording drums. Grog and Mr Drew reflected for a time then decided to finish the album. They wrote new songs. No holds barred. Harder, heavier, faster, punkier. No filler. No fat. No fucking around. Life is short. Or, to paraphrase new song 'Tomorrow Doesn't Always Come',
By late 2016 they had enlisted drummer Justin Bennett (Skinny Puppy, Thrill Kill Kult) to play on the album and mix some of the songs. Grog recorded bass & vocals in LA, Mr Drew guitars, synths, loops and noises in London, and Justin, drums in Bologna, Italy.
Renowned graphic novelist and film director Dan Schaffer came on board and drew original album artwork (think Walking Dead meets Mad Max), perfectly encapsulating the attitude of 11 incendiary new songs.
The album tackles a firestorm of social commentary in ‘HumanUNkind’, ‘We Were Born To Kill Each Other’ and ‘One Bullet From Paradise’, affairs of the heart in ‘No More Stars’, ‘Farewell’ and ‘Uncomplicated’, dark matters of the mind in ‘Terrible Thing’, and a call to arms in ‘Skeleton Suit’, ‘Bittersweet’and ‘Manifest’.
A limited edition 2-CD pre-order is available now via PledgeMusic and includes an exclusive, previously unavailable live album recorded in Tempe, Arizona featuring Grog, Mr Drew and Al. The album Draw a Line and Cross It - Live in Arizona showcases the band in full flight, sound and glorious technicolour. It's existential, Baby!
Die So Fluid's new album will be released on December 1st 2017 via Strataville Records! Pre-orders are available via PledgeMusic over HERE. A percentage of all pledges will be donated to the Sepsis Trust in memory of our fallen colleague Al right here https://sepsistrust.org/.TRACKLISTING:

Kitaro Presents Magnificent Music and Film Production of the “Kojiki and the Universe” Tour
Kitaro brings a totally unique audio/visual experience to California with his upcoming “Kojiki and The Universe” tour beginning November 16 and culminating December 1, 2017. Tour stops include San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Healdsburg, Portland and Seattle.
Presenting a totally unique visual experience, the presentation of “Kojiki and The Universe” merges Kitaro’s Grammy nominated music from the album “Sacred Journey Of Ku-Kai Volume 5" with dynamic space-age photographic scenes of the Universe. The awesome visuals feature time-lapse images, expertly intertwined with real-time films provided by, and in cooperation with, NASA and Kyoto University.
“Kojiki and The Universe”was created by Kitaro in collaboration with Astronomy Professor Kazunari Shibata. The entire production of Kojiki and the Universe was developed using modern film editing techniques, as well as state-of-the-art hardware and software. In Japanese mythology, Kojiki is a story closely related to evolution of the universe. It describes the origin of Heaven, Earth and the creation of the Gods. Utilizing Kitaro’s album as the soundtrack, “Kojiki and The Universe” is a chronicle of astronomical research as well as a beautiful introduction to modern astronomy for everyone. Check out an example of one of the scenes from the show over HERE.
All California tour dates include the KITARO VIP EXPERIENCE ticket purchase option which provides guests with Gold Circle seating; an intimate, in-person post-concert reception with Kitaro, a personally autographed copy of his “Kojiki And The Universe” DVD as well as his most recent CD album release, “Sacred Journey Of Ku-Kai Volume 5” and a tour poster.
Having received Grammy nominations for volumes 1-4, Volume 5 is presented by Kitaro’s long-time label, the Domo Music Group. The Ku-Kai series concept arose after the global events on the fateful day of September 11, 2001. Kitaro was traveling on a jet from Japan to Los Angeles when the transcontinental flight was diverted to Hawaii for 5 days due to the tragedy. It was during this time of disbelief and uncertainty that Kitaro envisioned the Ku-Kai series as a means of uniting the world through music embracing his frequently referenced universal message of peace.
The Sacred Journey of Ku-Kai series is an earthly voyage that transports the listener to the eighty-eight sacred temples located on Shikoku Island in Japan, ancestral home of the beloved Buddhist holy man Ku-kai. The music, which pays homage to the true to life excursion made over 1100 years ago on Shikoku Island endures to this day. Each track on the album revolves around the unique bell sound from the individual temples, using actual sampling and Kitaro's inspired musical interpretations and distillations of their essences.
