Cassidy Paris kicks you out of sorrow with Wannabe single

Music has the power to get me through difficult times. This single is a fine example on how this works.

The coverart for the new Cassidy Paris output "Wannabe".

It's foundation is based on a pumping solid rock 'n' roll riff that's ready to explode like octane. It's mixed along with a smooth rhythm section that gives me a positive push. But all of this comes to a boil when the vocals come touching in.

In the beginning it's going all easy with verses going step by step. But wait until the refrain starts. I bet you won't get this out of your mind once heard. 

Finally it's also material to shake your legs to it so that's prove it's pure Rock 'n' Roll. Make sure to follow Cassidy Paris as she and the band move further to the next steps. A EP called "FLIRT" is said to come out September 1st 2021.

Besides all the fun the music spreads the lyric content inside speaks out a serious message as vocalist Cassidy Paris explains: "It focuses on the obsession today’s youth has on popularity and how they are willing to sacrifice their friendships and integrity. The youth of today are not able to be original. They all want to be Tik Tok or You Tube Stars.  I have never really understood how people can fake friendships. Talentless people are trying to become famous for doing nothing at all”.  Yet it was a pattern that was becoming all too familiar, Cassidy explains about the inspiration behind the song. “This song is how people fall into the pattern of becoming followers and focussed on materialistic possessions and fame”.                         

Album Review: Ravenoir - Dark Wings of Eternal Blasphemy (Death Thrash Metal, 2020)

It's a production with a very own idea of how it should vibrate through your speakers. The sound centers more on the performance of the riffs and gives it a extra kick through the deep heavyness of the drums.

The drums accompany close to the guitars. Vocals are set to dominate the sound. It would have been great to push the voice a bit more to the background in the mix but sure purists will prefer it to be like this.

The album starts with "Ravenoir". A typical rough riding riff thrasher but one with some fine notes. The ending holds some keyboard-notes that surprised me to hear. Well done! 

Full speed riffs are coming your way on the second offer, the title track of the record. It's boldly presented with a bright chorus giving a push. You can feel the massiveness of the track in every second. 

"In The Sign of the Horns" continues this bold attempt but puts the guitars a bit back into the background and set's the vocals to the very front.

it's followed by a surprise track. "From The Shadows of the Dead" is a laid back, slower instrumental intermission spreading lots of dark and deadly atmosphere. It's a welcomed way of taking a break from the riff-fest going on. 

"Dark Vision" shows the ability of Ravenoir to put out pressure-filled songs in a midtempo pattern. 

It's a typical death metal record mixed up with fine thrash elements. I think traditional metal people will love this. Listen to the song "Hellfire icon" below and you'll get a idea of it. 

The album is available through Gothoom Shop as jewel case CD, USB stick and in a CD & Shirt bundle.

The recording of the new Byron Nemeth single / video " You Know It's True " will begin July 12th, 2021 at Blackbird Studio Studio A in Nashville. Joining Byron in the recording are some of Nashville’s finest hard rock players. 

Zach Ballard / Drums

Luis Espaillat / Bass and 

Steve Braun / Vocals. 

 

Tim Dolbear from Eclectica Studios who has mixed records for Grammy winners and labels will be the Producer. The recording will be done the old-school way with all 4 members of the band tracking in the studio at the same time. 

 

Nemeth recently released a performance video for the new instrumental song, “Engines Of Thunder”. It comes along the traditional way with lot's of guitar work shown off while the band provides the constant backing power. I think guitar players out there will be eager to take a look at this and hopefully be able to learn something out of it.

You can also listen to “Engines Of Thunder” on all digital platforms, including Spotify.
