Dark electronic music producer, MISS FD has just released her latest bewitching cinematic gothic music video for her song, ‘Curse Breaker’.

‘Curse Breaker’ is a liberating dark piano piece with laid bare female vocals that channel raw emotion, empowerment, and mystique. A spell unbinding transformative song about overcoming and letting go.

The music video, directed by long-time collaborator and friend Tas Limur, was filmed in a Victorian mansion in Historic Old Louisville, KY.

The video follows MISS FD through a curse-breaking séance which releases her from a haunting apparition, symbolizing freeing oneself from the binds and limitations of the past.

Former LORDS OF ACID vocalist, Mea Fisher (aka DJ Mea) and her solo project, ME AND MY NIGHTMARE just unveiled the heartfelt & poignant new single and video, ‘Don’t Forget Me’. The single features En Esch (Slick Idiot, <PIG>, Pigface, Ex-KMFDM) on keyboards.

‘Don’t Forget Me’ is Mea’s tribute to her mother, Patricia who tragically passed away after a battle with Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 84.

A common occurrence during the stages of Alzheimer’s disease is when the patient loses their memory. Mea states, “As her only child, the fear of being told that someday my mother might forget me terrified me to the core. I feared it everyday but it didn’t happen. She always remembered her ‘little baby girl’ all the way to the very end. Never once did she forget me. It was a gift, even though I lost her.”

ASTARI NITE unveils ‘Double Feature Matinee’ – the fourth music video off the Resolution of Happiness album! It now joins ‘Ashtray Ballet’, ‘Bowie in Daydreams’ and ‘Tongue Tied Galore’ in short music films.

Says ASTARI NITE vocalist, Mychael, “We had a few songs that we were very pleased with and wanted to share this year, so we released our Resolution of Happiness record a few months back, in the summer of June… This one song in particular, ‘Double Feature Matinee’ was quite playful! It is a real delight to play out at concerts, a song that I am not ashamed to admit is honestly about me.

“So, we set out to create a music video with a little help from our friends! Snippets, if you will, were taken from a few special days and nights of our lives while traveling and playing in my new shoes.

Honestly, at this stage in my life, I find it to be healing, surrounded by individuals that simply enjoy being alive and are accompanied by a vibrant and cheerful personality.
The word “fun” kind of drives me mad, though I’m finding that it’s okay to have some whenever needed. I personally can’t be gloomy all the time; you know what I mean? I would rather smile the most instead.

Happy Holidays and I wish everyone a lot of love going into the start of the new year.”

2025 will hear the release of two new singles by the band titled, ‘Ms. Rain on My Parade’ and ‘Unisex Games’.

Watch: ‘Missiles’ by Benefits

It’s been another incredible year for Benefits, and one which has seen them evolve – and drop a single with Pete Doherty ahead of their second album, Constant Noise, due on 21 March 2025 via Invada Records.

And what a treat for Christmas eve – a new tune which is, again, more ambient than noisy, but which pitches a low-key and quite menacing-sounding spoken-word assessment of the state of things as war rages around the world and death tolls continue to increase as do tensions as the West bankrolls mass destruction and civilian slaughter.

New Benefits may not be quite as in-yer-face sonically, but don’t think for a second that they’ve gone soft.

French progressive metal collective March of Scylla has released a captivating music video for their latest track, ‘Ulysses’ Lies’, from the forthcoming album Andromeda, set to be released on March 7, 2025, via Klonosphere/Season of Mist. Directed by Kevin Meriaux, the video seamlessly merges the band’s dark, progressive metal sound with their signature mythological storytelling, offering a mesmerizing visual experience.

Watch the video here:

Initiated by Christofer Fraisier, guitarist and former member of Taman Shud, March Of Scylla is a dark, progressive metal project that emerged in Amiens in 2020. 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.

COP International is incredibly proud to add another milestone release to the discography of this iconic band.

After three years of silence, Pântano return in full force with their new single, "Inferno." The band, whose name translates to “swamp,” delivers a raw, sludgy southern rock sound with a touch of classic Alice in Chains seamlessly woven into the mix.

Staying true to their dark and melancholic essence, the band unveils a new lineup and an even more refined, mature sound on this latest track.

With Nuno Rodrigues (WAKO) on vocals and Arlindo Cardoso (Low Torque) on drums, Pântano now features Aires Pereira (Moonspell) on bass and Paulo Basílio (Ex-Votos) alongside João Arroja (Low Torque) on guitars.

"Inferno," mixed and mastered by the renowned Daniel Cardoso (Anathema, Anneke…), marks the natural evolution of the band, blending a melancholic and dark atmosphere with heavy, slow riffs imbued with a strong emotional weight.

The single is accompanied by an impressive music video, directed by Beatriz Mariano, which masterfully captures the intensity and introspection of this new chapter for Pântano.

Watch: ‘Arcturus’ by Thurnin

Tags: Acoustic, Arcturus, dream folk, grief, Harmr, Jurre Timmer, Old Norse, Prophecy Productions, sorrow, Thurnin, video stream

THURNIN present the video clip ‘Arcturus’ as the first single taken from Dutch dream folk pioneer Jurre Timmer’s forthcoming new album Harmr (Old Norse for ‘grief’ or ‘sorrow’), which is slated for release on March 14, 2025.

THURNIN comment: “For the first advance single of this album, I have chosen ‘Arcturus’ the most obvious track,” composer and instrumentralist Jurre Timmer writes. “The track offers a mix of traditional Thurnin songwriting and a glimpse of the atmosphere that defines Harmr. This song celebrates the value of life, for there would be no grief without love.”

THURNIN’s third album Harmr was born out of the deep feeling of grief that only love can bring. The title refers to an old Icelandic word that is probably more literally translated as ‘grief’ while its contemporary meaning rather implies ‘sorrow’. The loss of one or even more loved beings is hard to bear for any person.

It is therefore hardly surprising that the lower key and a reduced tempo are permeating Harmr throughout most of the songs; and much more so than on its predecessor Útiseta (2023), on which THURNIN mastermind Jurre Timmer interpreted this numinous act as a way to commune with nature, and to gain spiritual wisdom in a time of introspection and transcendence.

Watch: Dröm Sång by Këkht Aräkh

‘Dröm Sång’ emerges as a poignant ballad from Këkht Aräkh, blending melancholic melodies with an introspective narrative. Rooted in a draft originally conceived during the Pale Swordsman sessions in 2021, the song carries a familiar resonance, particularly reminiscent of the track "Swordsman" from the same album. However, its creation followed an unconventional path, with recording taking place under spontaneous, often cramped conditions across Berlin, Germany, and Tokyo, Japan.

The accompanying music video was shot entirely in Tokyo and features scenes filmed by Nick from the electronic duo IC3PEAK and additional footage self-recorded by Dmitry, all using a handheld camcorder to create a raw, personal aesthetic.

Dmitry explains:

“There’s a deeper reason behind choosing Tokyo as the location for the music video, beyond my admiration for Japan. This particular place is often idealized by people around the world who have never lived there, making it a perfect fit for the song’s escapist theme. The song reflects on life, with all its hardships and evils, as nothing more than a dream from which you’ll eventually wake into a peaceful world.”
