The video is a series of flashbacks for the point of view of two of the hunters. One is experiencing loss and betrayal; meanwhile being pursued by a savage otherworldly entity (which shows the layers of coping with one tragedy while fighting to simply exist). The other is the feeling of hopelessness that turns to hate and that hate consumes those around her. The music itself carries out like a metal movie soundtrack, with aggressive peaks and demented valleys, all culminating into the grand apex of the final segway, an epiphany of taking back control (live to fight another day). We hope this brings awareness to the struggles and trauma we all are dealing with, awareness for those coping with PTSD.

HOG MEETS FROGs 'ADOLF the ant (...or am i steve?)' -
or how to NOT seize the world as a drunken maniac

A small bar, fucked up, empty - this is probably the best environment in which misanthropic
warmongers and self-proclaimed world conquerors should stay with their power fantasies.
And it is precisely in this scenario that HOG MEETS FROG have placed their protagonist -
ADOLF the ant. Maybe his name is Steve, but who knows, especially when you're drunk as a
skunk?

Staggering back and forth between aggression and narcissism - with a fading sense of
equilibrium - he fantasizes about using people who trust and cheer him for his purposes,
instrumentalizing them in order to seize world domination and to finally subjugate and
enslave them all.

Sip by sip, the desire for power increases, while at the same time the ability to control oneself
shrinks glass by glass, until finally unconsciousness sets in and shows the great conqueror
what he really is: a sad little lonley homunculus.

*Lyrics*

- Rise -Soldiers
A tsunami of angry and bitter souls is rising upon you,
you feeble fools.
Can You hear it?
Can You feel it?
This is a hungry starving army that has a taste for you:
rancid foods, soured meats.
Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?
I do, hear your death.
Manslaughter - Massacre - Purgatory
Lustration - Ablution – Dissolution
- Rise -Soldiers
Your end will be their dawn, an offering of deaths for
lives.
It ain’t war.
It’s the inception of hope, the vengeance of innocents.
Those you feed from, those you bleed from, those you
abused from.
The balance must be restored from this soiled
earth…from this tormented era.
Predictions, advises, admonitions. You had enough
indications.
Your denial is your obsolescence.
Now, it’s you turn to be threatened and face extinction.
Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?
It’s coming to you!
Manslaughter - Massacre - Purgatory
Lustration - Ablution - Dissolution

Official lyric video for “ Refuge ” by Dune
Listen to “Refuge” on Dune EP " Years of Chains" on all platforms

Lyrics:
Don’t turn off the light leave me in dome
Pain barred your words paved my sky they did know the truth
The clue of humanity is the strength for who owns
I trapped in myself and God owns us all

When I look at the mirror and I see what you’ve made
Laying in my bed under the sun you’ve created
Sometimes it gives me light but never give me faith
My soul is yours and my hand are stained with sins

I seek refuge from the lord of the dark
From wickedness and the mess he created
From the evil of darkness when it storms
And from the fire horns when they invade

The pain started to spread everywhere
But my eyes are still open watching my day
I am hearing voices there’re some kind of friends
Some are crying some saying their prayers

Please take my hand take my soul set me free
Dying ain’t much of living without what we believe
I need your forgiveness your mercy and your heal
To get back on your lands or

I seek refuge from the lord of the dark
From wickedness and the mess he created
From the evil of darkness when it storms
And from the fire horns when they invade

Now you’re mine
Obey me and leave it all behind

Hell In High Heels
------------------------------
You'll watch her captivate when she waltzes past your eyes
She'll have you crazy with the way you feel inside
You'll fall in slowly like a moth drawn to a flame
She'll make your fucking skin crawl while she's asking for your name

The way she takes her clothes off and the way it makes you smile
She'll push you to the limit while she's crawling up your spine

She's hell in high heels
It's crazy the way she makes you feel
She's tearing down the strip
All the boys make some noise cause she's hell in high heels

Stiletto strut to you and her boots are made of fire
It's getting hot tonight, yeah she's gonna make you wild
You'll watch her roll up with a flame that is her tongue
She's gonna get the best of you, get out quick you're on the run

The way she takes your clothes off and the way it makes you smile
She'll push you to the limit while she's crawling up your spine

She's hell in high heels
It's crazy the way she makes you feel
She's tearing down the strip
All the boys make some noise cause she's hell in high heels
Oh, let's go
She's hell in high heels
It's crazy the way she makes you feel
She's tearing down the strip
All the boys make some noise cause she's hell in high heels
She's hell in high heels
It's crazy the way she makes you feel
She's tearing down the strip
All the boys make some noise cause she's hell in high heels

Hypersonic, the powerhouse symphonic metal band founded in 2006 by Salvo Grasso and Emanuele Gangemi, has achieved their dream of creating unique, powerful, and epic music. Today, they proudly present their latest album, "Kaosmogonia" a musical journey that transcends genres and immerses listeners in a symphonic and extreme metal experience.

"Kaosmogonia" is the culmination of Hypersonic's musical evolution, showcasing a distinctive sound that is powerful, symphonic, epic, extreme, and dramatic. The album is a testament to the band's dedication to pushing creative boundaries and introducing new elements to their signature sound introducing their new singer Eleonora Russo whose exceptional songwriting qualities bring a fresh and dynamic dimension to the band's music.

"Kaosmogonia" incorporates a powerful symphonic orchestra and explores new influences, including elements of death metal, creating a rich and diverse sonic landscape.

The third single off the album is called "Veil of Insanity", it sounds like a poignant and powerful song. It's fascinating how art can sometimes reflect or even predict real-world events. The theme of the madness of war in the Middle East is unfortunately timeless and the lyrics seem to capture the anguish and despair that conflict brings to the region. The contrast between the heavy music and the weighty subject matter likely amplifies the emotional impact of the song. For this song it has been filmed and produced an official music video which will be out today too!

DENDERA Unveil Music Video For Title Track "Mask Of Lies" Off Forthcoming Album Out June 2024
LISTEN - https://lnk.to/0dHKOC

Signing to Rockhots Records for their forthcoming album "Mask of Lies" out this June 2024, the UK's Dendera has been on a steady rise while playing sell-out shows and festivals across Europe and in their home country along with supporting bands such as Sepultura, Queensrÿche, Saxon, Death Angel, Gloryhammer, Skindred, Rhapsody of Fire and many more.

Expertly delivering modern melodic metal, Dendera's combination of towering clean vocals and powerful screams along with unfaltering musicianship, energetic performances, and stunning choruses has rightfully earned them a reputation as a formidable band. Their steadfast handcrafted approach means they operate almost entirely self-sufficiently. This gives the band the ultimate edge when trying to hone their sound meaning they can push the best from themselves and always deliver professional results.

Following tough times after the COVID-19 pandemic and personal tragedy from within the band, Dendera has fought against the odds to record a stunning third full-length album. Co-produced by themselves and mixed by Alessio Garavello plus featuring a guest solo from Russ Parrish (aka. Satchel - Steel Panther), this album showcases Dendera's relentless vision to move forward, using the traumas of the past to write a powerful record that explores personal themes, grittier undertones that showcases their signature strong vocals and multi-layered songwriting approach.

“This album has been far too long coming from us, and we cannot wait to get it out. We really want our fans to hear how much we have grown and give them a treat. The time we have taken to do this has all been to make sure we get it right, and we think the end product reflects that.” adds the band.
To give the first glimpse of the album's sound, Dendera is sharing the music video for the title track "Maske of Lies". Starting with double kicks, a crushing riff, and a hard-picked guitar melody, the song takes no time getting to the point. From the intro, screams unleash a four-to-the-floor verse with a huge, aggressive vocal line from frontman Ash.

The band comments on the single:
"This is a song about rising up against oppression that will resonate with many people in the modern world, Mask Of Lies brings an unstoppable chorus with call and response clean and scream vocals. A chorus that is sure to impress live. A heavy and modern breakdown section cements Dendera’s musical shift into a more modern sound before getting to the last chorus with an inspiring and goosebump-raising orchestral break that will have the listener wanting to go back and listen again."

Recommended for fans of Trivium, Parkway Drive, and Dream Theater, "Mask of Lies" is due out on June 14, 2024, and is available for album pre-order at https://bit.ly/Dendera-MaskOfLies.

Lyrics By Dana Bowman

Bring me to the father
Take me to the enemy
Take me down to the home of the crown
Burn it down
Take me to the family
Relentless goat, a deceiving trail, that will only bring it closer to death
Relentless hope, although certain to fail, when you cut its throat, you cut its breath
Take me to the father
Take me to the enemy
Take me to the father
Take me to the enemy
Take me down to the home of the crown
Burn it down
Take me to my family
Take me to the father
Take me to the enemy
Take me down to the home of the crown
Burn it down
Bring me to my family
Bring me home
Bring me home
Relentless goat, a deceiving trail, that will only bring it closer to death
Relentless hope, although certain to fail, when you cut its throat, you cut its breath
Take me to the father
Take me to the enemy
Take me to the father
Take me to the enemy
Take me down to the home of the crown
Burn it down
Take me to my family
Take me to the father
Take me to the enemy
Take me down to the home of the crown
Burn it down
Take me to the family
Bring me home
Bring me home
Bring Me home
Take me to the father

Take me to the enemy
Take me to the father
Bring me to my family
Bring me home

Lyrics:
Ensnared

Beware the steps you trod,
out here we have no God.
We take the ones we like,
each snare is set to strike.

Give respect. Bow down.
Your allegiance. Bow.

The limbs of helpless souls,
will never fill these holes.
The fear in their eyes as
they’re torn apart,
will never fill this void in my heart.
Tear them apart.

Their cries echo through the woods.
Prepare the torches, the robes and the hoods.
The trees of the forest are on our side.
The nooses are hanging our prisoners high.
Hang the captives high.

Destruction is a friend of mine.
Her presence is a warning sign.
A knot that you can’t untie, a bond until the day we die.

Extinction, a companionship.
He will never loose his grip.
A knot that you can’t untie, a bond until the day we die.

Their cries echo through the woods.
Prepare the torches, the robes and the hoods.
The trees of the forest are on our side.
The nooses are hanging our prisoners high.

Skinning the corpses alive.

LYRICS:
Imbalance
Adaptation
Equilibrium
Repeat

Always chasing
Never ending
Hedonic treadmill
Full of deceit

Always dreaming of obtaining something you desire
It doesn’t matter how hard you try because the feeling you get will be what you had prior
Oh, right back to square one
It’s a trap that swallows us whole
Although we might think we’ve won
Hedonic treadmill devours us all

I am the king of my own suffering
I do this to myself
In time I’ll come to realize
The constant chasing leaves me empty inside

Imbalance
Adaptation
(Always chasing)
Equilibrium
Repeat
(Never ending)
Hedonic treadmill swallows us

All you can do is try to catch the high
That keeps getting further away
In time you’ll come to realize
The constant chasing leaves you empty inside

Imbalance
Adaptation
(Always chasing)
Equilibrium
Repeat
(Never ending)
Hedonic treadmill consumes us all

Overstimulated for a moment then we’re doomed
'Cause we’re desensitized by all the fucking shit that we consume
And it’s a problem but not one that we’ll be able to solve soon
Not even after we are in our tombs

I have bouts of pleasure and joy but they are short-lived
Momentary sense of fulfillment but then it’s gone and expectations rise again
And then I’m back to where I

Started at the bottom tried to rise to the top
But nothing changed and I realized that I had to stop
Because I burnt myself out and I thought I would drop
Hedonic treadmill won again so I had to step off

You started at the bottom tried to rise to the top
But nothing changed and you realized that you had to stop
Because you burnt yourself out and you thought you would drop
Hedonic treadmill won again so you had to step off
