Review: IOTA CENTAURI – “Lullaby For A Dying Sun”

IOTA CENTAURI - "Lullaby For A Dying Sun"
Adam Grundy

If you’ve ever wanted to explore the vastness of space through a great-sounding ambient track that fits somewhere in the realm of Thrice’s Vheissu, paired with the sprawling rock of band’s like Caspian, IOTA CENTAURI is your next obsession. With the release of the project’s new single called “Lullaby For A Dying Sun,” IOTA CENTAURI have also announced their debut LP called Supermassive. IOTA CENTAURI is the solo moniker of TJ Fulfer, and the new album explores themes of love, loss, tragedy, and the growing distance between two people, expressed through the vastness of space, the mysteries of the universe, and the weight of darkness—all woven into sweeping soundscapes and deeply evocative melodies.

The latest single features some guest vocal spots from Ken Pendola and Meg Zahora to help round out this band’s approach to songwriting. The epic final chorus of, “And when it vanishes / Nothing is remembered / Only an emptiness / Where light once lived,” takes the concept of traveling alone through the depths of space and still hones in on the human element of what makes us all want those key connections to others.

Review: STMNTS – “Sinking In”

STMNTS - "Sinking In"
Adam Grundy

The latest single from Baltimore pop-punk band, STMNTS, called “Sinking In” is a passionate blend of styles similar to The Wonder Years, Bayside and the guitar-crunch of Four Year Strong. Formed in 2022, STMNTS consists of vocalist Liam King, rhythm guitarist Jamie Black, lead guitarist Drew Chiodo, bassist Josh Pelc, and drummer Shawn Smyth. The single was produced, mixed and mastered by Jeff McKinnon, with some additional production contributed by Evan Seeberger. STMNTS are coming off of the success of their well-received 2023 EP called Tendencies, and have released their second single since that last record came out with today’s “Sinking In.”

Coheed and Cambria Talk with Kerrang

Coheed and Cambria talked with Kerrang about their upcoming album:

“It’s a self-brand,” he explains as he prepares to brave the cold streets of London. “I think about all of the years being the guy who’s in the concept rock band. It’s a brand on myself, a painful one and a proud one. But the title is also for the character of Vaxis, who’s at a place in the story where the world is his and he can create it as he chooses. Part of me sees myself more in that character than ever. The end of the band, or the end of the concept of The Amory Wars is around the corner. Do we continue to stay inside the concept? Because I know how to do that, but part of me wonders what a new creative life looks like. That’s something that Vaxis has the choice to do, and will probably do when the next two records are done. I see a conclusion that, to me, feels perfect.”
