IMAGINE BATTLE: LOS ANGELES VERSUS MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO
The self-proclaimed 'Oscar-losing director' Ruairi Robinson's insane visualisation of a ground attack force attempting to repel an invading army of cuddly aliens, set to a synthwave soundtrack.
DEVELOPMENT HELL:
WANT TO SEE RUAIRI'S AKIRA ADAPTATION CONCEPT ART?
It has just been announced via Instagram that guitar virtuoso Jessica DiFalchi has left fast-rising all-female Brazilian Death Metal band, Crypta.
Formed by ex-Nervosa members Fernanda Lira and Luana Dametto, Crypta are that rarest of bands (especially in Death Metal circles), where the band's presentation and sonic assault is matched by their skill and virtuosity.
Teamed with fellow guitar maestra Taina Bergamaschi, and touring virtually non-stop since lockdown, Crypta have become an unstoppable force in Metal. Jessica will leave a big space to fill, but we look forward to seeing what the future holds for both parties.
THE 2005 COMICBOOK HORROR / NOIR IS NOW REGARDED AS ONE OF KEANU REEVE'S BEST FILMS... IS THIS 4K RE-RELEASE OF CONSTANTINE A PREMONITION OF A POSSIBLE SEQUEL?
With a video referencing Classic Pulp Sci-Fi art, Katsuhiro Otomo's ubiquitous AKIRA anime, and Sixties psychotronic art, the song Under The Stars is actually a beautiful homage to trippy '90s Shoegaze'; a sonic flashback to the era of reverb-drenched guitars and dreamy, ethereal vocals.
PRESS RELEASE:
Speaking on the single, songwriter and bassist Andy Curran
said “Alf & I toiled over this one for months and really felt, even at its
rough demo stage that we had something special. We left a ton of space for
Maiah in the verses and there’s such a cool mood shift when the chorus hits.
Joe Vitale's drum track and percussion added an almost trance like vibe and the
icing on the cake, is an unmistakable “Alex” guitar solo. I’m a romantic at
heart and the message here is universal.
Soul mates, "two against the world!”
