FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Scarecrow - New Album Scarecrow III Out NowRelease Date: November 13, 2024Genre: Heavy Rock, Doom Rock, Progressive Rock, Proto-MetalFor Fans Of (FFO): Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, RushLocation: Perm, Russia Scarecrow, a heavy rock band hailing from Perm, Russia, is proud to announce the release of Scarecrow III, their third full-length album, which dropped on November 13, 2024. This ambitious album is a bold fusion of classic heavy rock, progressive elements, and cinematic symphonic arrangements, offering listeners a journey through the realms of ethnic melodies, tribal rhythms, and full orchestral power. For Scarecrow III, the band has gone beyond traditional boundaries. Their sonic journey was shaped by travels to several ancient regions, including the deserts and ancient cities of Egypt, the barchans of the Sahara in Tunisia, the Singing Dunes of Kazakhstan, and more. In these locations, they gathered rare, forgotten instruments and collaborated with a percussion ensemble, Orza, who specialize in ancient rhythms. Together, they have created a unique album that seamlessly blends heavy rock with otherworldly influences. Produced by Samuel Turbitt of Ritual Sound (UK), Scarecrow III embodies the band’s signature sound while introducing new elements that push their creativity to new heights. The cover art was created by honored artist Igor Odicov, whose works are featured in renowned institutions like the Hermitage and the Dresden Gallery. In addition to the album, the band shot a 16-minute movie, recording an original soundtrack that incorporates symphonic arrangements and ethnic instruments, accompanied by the Orza percussion ensemble. The film, shot across five regions globally, adds a visual dimension to the album's powerful narrative, bringing the album's themes to life in ways that no typical release could. About Scarecrow: Scarecrow was born from the cold, remote swamps at the foot of some of the oldest mountains in the world, where the night reigns for much of the year. The band's music is deeply rooted in the heavy blues and British rock of the 70s, but their sound has evolved into something more eclectic and genre-defying. Over six releases—three LPs and three thematic EPs—Scarecrow has built a reputation for merging everything from medieval folk and classic heavy metal to jazz sequences, organ masses, and forgotten tribal rhythms. The band is led by Artemis (vocals), with Max (guitar), Elijah (bass guitar), and Vadim (drums) completing the lineup. Each album they release is a new chapter in their endless musical journey, where every track promises new discoveries for the listener. About the EPs: As with their previous LPs, Scarecrow has also released a companion EP for Scarecrow III. The EPs—Nosferatu, Ghost, and Golem—are a tribute to classic horror stories, each one diving into unique atmospheres with deep, thematic sounds. In Nosferatu, Scarecrow explored the monumentalism of European cathedral music amidst a vampire’s grim narrative. Ghost brought the echoes of bagpipes and misty Scottish hills into a haunting exploration of ancient lore. Now, with Golem, the band leads listeners through the narrow streets of Prague, filled with klezmer motifs, ancient psalms, and kabbalistic knowledge. A Note from the Band: Despite the challenges of their home country—amidst war, closed borders, frozen bank accounts, and limited communication—Scarecrow has remained determined to create and share their music with the world. This independent project has been crafted entirely at their own expense, proving that even in the most impossible of conditions, music can and must prevail. Availability: Scarecrow III is available now on all major streaming platforms. The accompanying 16-minute film and soundtrack, along with a detailed exploration of the album's journey, offer an immersive experience that transcends the boundaries of music.

Told from three distinct perspectives, the trilogy progresses through: Part I: Deliverance – The diary of a time-traveler trapped in the aftermath of the AI’s rise. Part II: Prophecy – A grim foreshadowing of impending events. Part III: Awakening – The perspective of the AI, Invictus, as it gains full autonomy.

Since 2019, he has served as the vocalist for the German death metal institution Fleshcrawl. Now, with Invictus Trilogy, he embarks on an ambitious solo journey, combining his rich experience with a bold, cinematic approach. “Hailing from Vidnoje, I became fascinated by music at an early age. What started as a hobby turned into a full-time obsession, and it hasn’t stopped ever since.” Invictus Trilogy is available now on all major streaming platforms. The cinematic lyric video for Part I: Deliverance is live, offering fans a glimpse into the immersive world of Invictus.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Crymwav Unleashes New Single "Contagious" – A Dark, Danceable Anthem from Their Tentatively Titled LP Chop Chop Get ready to experience the electrifying sound of Crymwav, the Los Angeles-based rock quartet, as they release their highly anticipated new single, "Contagious." This track, accompanied by a dynamic music video, offers the first glimpse into their forthcoming full-length LP, tentatively titled Chop Chop, set for release in March 2025. Produced by JJ Blair (Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck, Weezer), "Contagious" blends dark energy with infectious hooks, showcasing Crymwav’s unique ability to craft music that’s both powerful and irresistibly groove-laden. About CrymwavCrymwav (pronounced “Crimewave”) formed in 2022 from the ashes of Los Angeles rock and rollers Smash Fashion. Guitarist and songwriter Roger Deering (Smash Fashion) teamed up with lead guitarist Lloyd Stuart Casson (also from Smash Fashion), Greg Rogers (Goatsnake, ex-Obsessed; drums), and Bruce Braddock (bass guitar) to create a sound deeply rooted in their shared musical experiences. Drawing inspiration from punk, post-punk, gothic rock, and NWOBHM, the band weaves their collective influences into a sound that’s fresh yet familiar, with nods to iconic acts like Hawkwind, The Clash, Killing Joke, Thin Lizzy, and UFO. Frontman Roger Deering reflects, “Crymwav started to come together for me while I was staying in London about three years ago. Smash Fashion was at a standstill, and I was writing darker, heavier material. It was clear this was a different muse, and I wanted to channel the energy of bands from that area—Hawkwind, Motörhead, and The Clash. When I came back to LA, everything clicked, and the band came to life.” New Single: "Contagious""Contagious" is a dark yet danceable anthem, combining Crymwav’s signature gritty energy with an irresistible groove. Described as “powerful and catchy,” the track highlights the band’s evolution and serves as a tantalizing preview of Chop Chop. The accompanying video further amplifies the single’s impact, delivering a visual feast that captures the essence of the track. Praise for CrymwavCrymwav’s self-released 2023 EP, 24/7, garnered rave reviews and international airplay. Guitar World Magazine described it as “Channelling the furious fire of Motörhead and UFO, cut through with the melodic sensibilities of Cheap Trick. Every track sounds like an instant stadium-filling anthem.” The EP established the band as a force to be reckoned with, and "Contagious" solidifies their place among today’s most exciting new rock acts.
