ifsounds release Stendhal Syndrome their first full length video from the upcoming 6th release MMXX due out April 28th
Stendhal Syndrome is a song about the addiction of modern society on aesthetic and appearance. The video is based on Kaiber AI technology and reproduces the feelings of the song and the obsession of pictures and photos.
Lyrics:
Blinding light. Visual ecstasy.
I, I need a vision of an angel by my side, floating in the waves deep down in my darkest mind. Will you dive deep there with me? Don’t speak, just smile, hold my chain . Stendhal syndrome melts my brain. Blinding light. Visual ecstasy.
You, beautiful picture exposed in a crowded room, my pure idea of beauty, I begin to swoon. What are you doing to me? My eyes get blind down in my cave. Stendhal syndrome. I’m your slave. Blinding light. Visual ecstasy.

About ifsounds
The mad man is the happiest one but he frightens the right-minded world”
ifsounds are the images of our dreams and our nightmares. Music is just the shape we give to our stories, our hopes and our fears.
The ifsounds project brings together the talents of a group of musicians, all very different from each other, whose idea is to create a sound that is able to express an emotion, to describe a state of mind, to recount a story, to make a journey into the realms of inner consciousness.
The aim of ifsounds is to reproduce not only the world around us, but above all the world inside us, because each of us is the author of his own reality and his own existence.

Captain Of The Lost Waves releases his third video Animals On An Island from Hidden Gems Chapter 3 – Mysterium Tremendum
The video was filmed on location of the majestic wilderness of Pule Hill in the wild wild west of Yorkshire. In trying to mirror the ethos of the song, “I trust the sense of beautiful desolation and space evokes the same feeling we had in making this.” – The Captain

About Captain Of The Lost Waves
The Captain is a troubadour, storyteller and free thinking renegade. His musical offerings are inspired by the great songwriters and philosophers of yesteryear. This is visceral music for the mind and body, full of dreamy verses, life affirming choruses and sheer audacity. Where melodic invention meets alternative folk, progressive, world and ambient sounds.
He is not just the figurehead of his musical vessel, he’s ringmaster, bard, master of ceremonies and sage. There’s far more to him and his absurdly engaging world than any of your ten – a – penny musical stars. Seen through showers of glitter, kaleidoscopic lens flares and in the rainbows of a million puddles. The Captain tells sonic stories to connect with everyone past, present and future.
Mostly Nothing are back with their new EP “Somewhere Else”. Following the release of the singles “Supernova”and “Into Nonexistence”, the one-many-army band continues their creative journey through time, space and an endless quest to self-understanding, which culminates in a genre-defying set of songs ranging from classical to heavy metal.
Inspired by the likes of Haken, David Maxim Micic, Plini or Native Construct, Mostly Nothing present an exciting novel strand of instrumental sound, created in the musical laboratory of Portuguese multi-instrumentalist and composer Sérgio Castro, who performed, mixed and mastered all the music in the EP (except for the drums in “Into Nonexistence”, played by Daniel Rodrigues).
The artist behind Mostly Nothing describes his music as an attempt at mixing the ideas and philosophy of modern progressive metal and rock music with his background as a classically trained musician. In his own words – “I tried my best to annoy easygoing listeners with random heaviness and metalheads with pretty lullabies”. Whereas the first two albums — “Dark ~ Light” and their debut “Short Stories” — were largely born out of experimentation, “Somewhere Else” came into being after three months of carefully composing and arranging work, and displays full control of the voices that revealed themselves in past works. “Somewhere Else”was recorded between 2022 and 2023, at the artist’s bedroom studio in his hometown of Guimarães, in Portugal. The EP was released on all major platforms in March. To stay updated on further releases, stay tuned to Mostly Nothing’s Facebookand Instagram pages.

Progressive rock trio POH HOCK have released their new EP, ‘Gallimaufry’, which is out today on the group’s Bandcamp and all major streaming platforms.
The new record features the singles “Fragile Space” and “I Don’t”, and is the follow up to the project’s 2019 debut ‘Ātma’.
Commenting on the release of the new EP, POH HOCK shares:
“The dictionary definition [for Gallimaufry] is ‘a confused jumble or medley of things’. This EP is a collection of songs mixed with many different genres, and the title perfectly sums up the soundscape of the record. It is less guitar-centric and more focused on experimentation with songwriting, as well as a learning experience on different writing styles. This was also a more collaborative effort between Joey, Zak and I compared to my first EP, ‘Atma’. There are also guest musicians on every track, and it was fun working with all of them!”
POH HOCK, formerly the guitarist for the now defunct Native Construct, spoke with Metal Sucks about his favorite shredders under the age of 30. Check out the story HERE
If you are looking for innovative, complex, and moving music, then look no further than the work of POH HOCK KEE. Best known as the lead guitarist for metal bands Native Construct (defunct) and presently Replacire, the Boston-based artist would release his debut solo effort, 2019’s ‘ĀTMA’ EP, showing a whole new side to his musical proclivities.
Now four years later, POH HOCK returns with ‘Gallimaufry’, a new EP that explores even more diverse avenues and eclectic soundscapes.
