French progressive rock collective HamaSaari today unveil a brand-new lyric video for ‘Lost in Nights,’ another evocative chapter taken from their forthcoming album Pictures, out January 23rd via Klonosphere.

Following the recent release of lead single ‘Frames’ (featuring guest vocals from Christelle Ratri), ‘Lost in Nights’ dives even deeper into the album’s introspective essence. The track unfolds slowly and deliberately, guided by HamaSaari’s signature balance of cinematic build-up, emotional restraint, and expansive release, a nocturnal journey through doubt, memory, and inner landscapes.

Rooted in modern progressive rock and drawing inspiration from the likes of Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, and Karnivool, HamaSaari craft music that is rich in atmosphere, emotional depth, and cinematic movement. Born from the ashes of their former project Shuffle, the band embraced a more serene and melancholic identity, allowing their sound to unfold like a stormy ritual, dark clouds, falling rain, and slowly emerging light.

Their 2023 debut album Ineffable introduced this balance with striking clarity: delicate yet powerful compositions flowing through shifting shades of darkness and color, built on organic interplay between polyrhythmic bass and drums, reverb-soaked guitars, and a clear, expressive vocal presence.

Now, nearly three years later, Pictures picks up where that journey left off and expands it into a fully realized conceptual statement. The album explores images, paintings, and dimensions, what we choose to frame, conceal, or confront. Inspired by myths, ancient civilizations, dreams, reality, and fiction, Pictures reflects on belief systems, fears, desires, and the fundamental questions that shape the human experience.

Following the release of Pictures, HamaSaari will take the album to the stage with an extensive European tour throughout spring and summer 2026. The tour will see the band bringing their captivating, emotionally charged live show to clubs and festivals across France, Germany, Spain, and the UK, culminating in major festival appearances later in the year.

The band features drummer Gilles Masson from Ashura, bassist Robert Desbiendras, and vocalist Florian Vasseur. Their two EPs, Archives and Dark Myth, showcase their diverse influences, drawing comparisons to Gojira, Tesseract, Sleep Token, and Architects.

Their debut album Andromeda was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Studio Sainte-Marthe in Paris by Francis Caste, and explores the vastness of space and humanity’s complex relationship with science, the cosmos, and the afterlife. The album tackles fundamental human anxieties, injustices, and emotional struggles, blending personal lyrics with universal mythology and history.

Watch: ‘Amor Fati’ by Seeds Of Mary

Bordeaux-based rock/metal band Seeds of Mary are back with a powerful new video for ‘Amor Fati,’ the first single from their highly anticipated new album, LOVE, set to be released on October 18th via Klonosphere / Season of Mist.

Directed by Thomas Duphil, the video for ‘Amor Fati’ delivers the big, bottom-heavy riffs that fans have come to expect from Seeds of Mary, coupled with dark and somewhat melancholic choruses.

Watch the video here:

The band comments: ‘Amor Fati’ is the opening track of the new album. We chose it as the first single because it can be seen as a distillation of what the rest of the record holds: heavy riffs, haunting melodies, and ethereal atmospheres. Lyrically, it has a philosophical approach, drawing on the concept of Amor Fati dear to the Stoics and Nietzsche: ‘love what happens.’ The lyric video, created by our friend Thomas Duphil, features bodies in all their roughness and imperfections. This was the most obvious way for us to talk about self-acceptance, reality, and the trials of a fleeting life that leave their mark on our flesh. Each song on the album LOVE deals with a facet of love. Here, it’s perhaps its most intimate expression. And the fact that this track was written during the Covid period is probably no coincidence. We inevitably found ourselves confronting ourselves a lot during this significant time.”

LOVE, due out on October 18th, promises to be a defining moment in Seeds of Mary’s discography, blending their signature heavy riffs with dark, introspective lyrics and a raw, emotional edge. The album sees the band walking into heavier and darker tunes, incorporating more aggressive and screamed vocals, adding a new dimension to their already dynamic sound.

French experimental rock duo Erei Cross, featuring Adrien Grousset from Hacride and Carpenter Brut have recently revealed a music video for a new track from their forthcoming first full-length album The Widow and The Others, due out on May 5th via Klonosphere/Season of Mist.

Watch ‘The Others’ here:

The duo was born in 2019, when the two founding members Adrien Grousset (Hacride, Carpenter Brut) and Laetitia Finidori, with a mutual passion for rock and metal music, decided to join forces and work on a new project. Later on Matthieu Guérineau (Microfilm, Myra lee, Captain Parade, etc..) joined them as their live drummer.
In the first year of their existence, Adrien Grousset, composer and guitarist worked on a couple of songs and six of them were recorded and released as an EP titled "The Widow" in 2021. 

Now in 2023, Erei Cross returns with their first full-length album The Widow and The Others, which  sees the band offering an eclectic, dark and engaging sound encompassing a wide variety of styles, that is hard to describe in a single genre or style. Their music floats between heavy rock, goth, electronic and alternative bringing to mind names like Queens Of The Stone Age or Royal Blood, but with a enchanting vocals performance that recalls PJ  Harvey at times.
