 LA-based Tarah Who? re-emerge with another engaging single "Illusion Of Freedom", released on April 2nd via Unleashed Music. It's the follow up to the popular "Manners", which has been met with worldwide acclaim. The track is based on the lead singer, Tarah, G, Carpenter's own personal experiences with immigration following her arrival from France. Tarah co-produced "Illusion Of Freedom with Jason Ome.

"Illusion Of Freedom" is another slice of up-tempo punk with thought-provoking lyrics...and a lot of attitudes! The track begins with another signature groove-orientated riff, courtesy of Carpenter segues into jagged vocals. Carpenter sounds like a defiant woman in the face of an adversary with the chorus acting as a statement. The dynamic guitars and edgy music underlie an issue close to Carpenter's heart.


Carpenter explains of Freedom’ "Whether I was in France and friends with people who were trying to get their papers, or here in the U.S. There was a time where my co-workers were too afraid to come to work, too afraid that they would be sent back home or separated from their families, even if they had been living here for over twenty years. "‘Illusion of Freedom’ is also a reflection on the situation with refugees. People and families who had to flee their country to feel safe somewhere, but they were not necessarily welcomed by everyone." "Illusion Of Freedom" is available now via all major streaming platforms. Words by Anselm Anderson.

The latest band to embrace the genre that mixed down-tuned guitars with mixing desks and aggressive vocals about personal struggles and social anxieties is Virginia-based sextet,  Saint Diablo. Today, the Latin Americans release their latest four-track EP 'The Reckoning' via Eclipse Records.  The band consists of lead vocalist Tito Quinones, guitarist Justin Adams, bassist Zach San Pietro, drummer Anthony San Pietro, and percussionist Awesome Ray Ray.

  Words by Anselm Anderson Metalcore act Paradis released their hotly-anticipated self-titled debut EP last week, The quintet combines the raw ferocity of the genre's vocals with the dark atmospheric music of black metal, which is a unique approach to the revived genre, once maligned by metalheads all over. Formed in London, England, the multicultural group consists of vocalist Johnny Weaver, guitarists Pedro Silva and Federico Di Biase, bassist Mark Kuchmenko and drummer Flynn Everard. The band commented on how this was a team effort, reflected over five intense, headbanging tracks. Photo Credit: Michael Williams One notable aspect of this EP is the diversity of the tracks. Paradis delivers powerful and ominous metal with impactful orchestration and bone-shaking breakdowns. The band's creative ideas allow the music to take on a life of its own, showcasing a contrast between aggressive, angst-filled vocals paired with heavy riffs, and melodic vocals set against gothic underton...
