SOLLEIN release new single “Another Side of Sadness”
Andy Clarke, known primarily for fronting death/doom act The Crawling, had already revealed details of his new solo project “Sollein.” Now, his debut single “Another Side of Sadness” is available on all digital streaming platforms.
“I think i have reached that age, that happens to most i guess, where you question the very point of being; an existential crisis of sorts. ‘Another Side of Sadness’ explores my view of the world when i look at people, and what brings joy. We are puppets, our happiness controlled by others, and whilst many may disagree; the point i’m making is – does it matter?”
You can listen “Another Side of Sadness” at this location: https://youtu.be/ibvXG276xLY

New Post-Metal music project “Sidus” releases “Stellar Sky”
Sidus is a Berlin based post-rock instrumental one-man band formed by bass player Spiros Olivotos. After a period of experimentation and pre-production, Sidus hit the studio (P.K. Productions) to record his first E.P. with the title “Seasons Reversed”. An instrumental, cinematic, post-rock, metal collection of five compositions, creates an intense though melodic and nostalgic atmosphere. Influenced by God is an Astronaut and Explosions In the Sky but also Deftones and Hans Zimmer, this E.P. combines dynamic guitars with soundtrack vibes and memorable melodies, while it is planned to be released during the end of this summer. The artwork of the EP was created by Makis Olivotos. In the self-titled track Kostas Milonas (Sunburst, Foray Between Ocean, New Day Slave) is featured on drums.
The fourth single with title “Stellar Sky” was inspired by a classic quote of Carl Sagan about the stellar origin of human species: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7ryOHGpSTk
“We are made of stellar ash. Our origin and evolution have been tied to distant cosmic events. The exploration of the cosmos is a voyage of self-discovery.”
