CYANATE release new single - [Echo Chamber]

Posted by Garrett Jones · September 22, 2023

Cyanate is a 5 piece Metal band that combines Progressive elements with Metalcore to create a sound that is uniquely their own. The new single, Echo Chamber was written about the danger of confirmation bias and how we all are part of individual "Echo Chambers", thus the seeking validation for our own ideologies. the use of synth in the song is representative of the hypnosis the media puts us in, leading to the self discovery that in an age of information, we can break out of the shell of the Echo Chamber, and seek information from other sources while being open to the beliefs of those around us.

SINSATION release new single/video -- [I Am Man]

Posted by Garrett Jones · August 16, 2023

DIRTBAG Endorsed Artists SINSATION have released their new single and music video -- I Am Man (via SODEH Records). Directed by Sado Rabaudi.

CHECK OUT THE VIDEO HERE:

Sinsation are a vampiric metal band like no other. These gothic madmen met playing in different bands at the Zombie Prom in 2019 and rapidly came to realize that the dark spirits of the universe wanted them to work together. They quickly assembled a stellar lineup out of the creative primordial ooze of the local scene and crafted a sound that reflected the influence of their sonic heroes ranging from classics like Motorhead and Slayer to rock gods like Joan Jett by way of modern masters Avatar and Halestorm. This rapidly developed into a style that was wholly their own. Sinsation quickly saw success, playing the legendary Viper Room in Hollywood and winning the Metal Meeting in Arizona. At the same time they started to release singles with videos, even through the madness of the coronavirus pandemic. This slew of successes lead to endorsements by Solar Guitars, Felton Guitars, InTune Guitar Picks War-Core Pick Ups, and Shroeder Cabs. It also earned them a deal with TerrorCrew Productions and Artillery Music Group AMG who seek to help the band grow through their next few steps towards vampiric ascension. This is all happening as the band continue to get heavier and lean into crafting pulverizing and face melting good times. With big things on the horizon and a legion of triumphs in the rearview mirror, none will be able to slow the mighty Sinsation. All that’s left to do is join their undead horde and watch as these thrashers take on the globe!
