LA-based metal band GreenblacK decides to say no to all the fake noise on the powerful ‘Not Today’

Posted on 26 February 2022

With their 3rd single that sizzles the speakers and heats up your emotions, GreenblacK vows to forever ignore those showoff types who are always exhibiting their minimal achievements with ‘Not Today‘.

GreenblacK is a high voltage Los Angeles, California-based metal band that is led by Haifa, Israel-born lead vocalist/guitarist Yohai Portal.

”Like every song we’ve written so far, the process was somewhat backwards. We first created the music and song structure, and only then did I start writing lyrics to what inspired me from the tracks we recorded. There are no specific rules on how to do it. It just happened to be how we flow naturally.” ~ Yohai Portal

GreenblacK sends us into a thoughtful place with a thumping track that is all about realizing that you are so tired of those fake jokers who seem to thrive in a social media world that can take you for a fool. The vocals here are rather full-paced and dispatches your whole soul in a dizzy space, with a soundscape that is raw and just a great listen as you nod your head in agreement with the sentiment portrayed.

‘Not Today‘ from bass-shredding Los Angeles-based metal band GreenblacK, is a fake-slashing effort that gets a topic off their chest that has been burning deep inside for too long. With so many humans trying to impress when they are actually just lying through life to get money and attention out of others, this is an important message that has you feeling so inspired by this extra loud experience.

Knowing what is real and what isn’t, is the vital key that will open so many doors that can lead you in different directions.

LA’s Yaz heats up our imagination on thrilling new single, ‘Heresy’

Posted on 22 February 2022

Taken off her brand new debut album named ‘Inferno‘, Yaz tells us the story of Lilith and Eve that has been reimagined on the striking new release that will surely get your pulse racing, ‘Heresy‘.

Yazmeen Mirgoli aka Yaz is an incomparably talented Los Angeles, California-based indie electronic artist, singer-songwriter, producer, director, filmmaker, and designer.

”Inferno is an exorcism of societal shame and judgement. It forces us to face our darkest fears by holding up a mirror to the hypocrisy of our society, and liberates us by guiding us through each circle of Hell head-on, and celebrating that which is typically deemed taboo and amoral. I wanted to provide an experience for the audience that immerses them into a world that celebrates the entirety of who they are, and sets them free from the shackles of society.” ~ Yaz

With a bass-thudding entrance that is loaded with intoxicating heat and boundless energy that gives you shivers at times, this is a tremendous effort from a truly captivating artist named Yaz. The illuminating beat slams hard into your intrigued soul – and seems to burn a piece off you – before bringing a tiny fragment back, as we are thrown into an avalanche that never lets up.

”Produced by YAZ’s production company, Yaz Media, the video is YAZ’s directorial debut, and features fashion by world-renowned corsetieres Dark Garden Corsetry, and YAZ’s surrealist avant-garde design label Yaz Mania.” ~ Yaz

‘Heresy‘ from the LA-based multi-talented creative Yaz, is a visually stimulating track from an artist who is pressing the boundaries of what is possible and is only going to reach higher pinnacles as you sense her hunger throughout. On a track that sends you into a mood to test your own fascination, this is a startling effort that is a speaker-rattling effort that your elders warned you about.
