Wellington, New Zealand black/avant metal trio TUSCOMA will issue their third album, Gu-cci, in late June through Landmine Records, the label formed by members of Blindfolded And Led To The Woods. With the record’s release date closing in, the band presents “The Importance Of Being Vogue” through an official video, which today makes its premiere through Decibel Magazine.
 
TUSCOMA’s Gu-cci was recorded by Evan Pope at Studio 11b in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand, mixed by Chris Johnson at Electric Bunker in Boston, Massachusetts, mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music in Cornwall-On-Hudson, New York, and completed with photography by George L Clarke and design by Kurt and Olga Williams.
 
The video for Gu-cci’s second single “The Importance Of Being Vogue” was directed and edited by TUSCOMA bassist Craig Leahy, with cinematography handled by Stellar Reid. Guitarist/vocalist Kurt Williams reveals, "'The Importance of Being Vogue' is a much-needed day-to-day ideology for humanity. Without fashion, who are we? It was the last song written for the album and tied all the fashionable themes together."
 
Decibel Magazine writes in part, “So many questions. So, so many questions the new video from New Zealand avant black metal noiseniks TUSCOMA brings to mind. We won’t bore you with all of them, but the title of the track accompanying said video, ‘The Importance of Being Vogue,’ is certainly obtuse. Is it an in-joke, a reference to Vogue magazine or just a bunch of words put together to give the song a title? Listening to its relentless, pulsing throb and semi-shrieked/shouted vocals without the visuals of the video there’s no apparent fashion tie-in/reference—sounds like shoegazey/noisy avant metal.

 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music News and Interviews. Our readers are excited to get to know you and your band. Could you give us a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? Hey! After Infinity is a new Finnish heavy/power metal band. Our music is a nice combination of heavy riffs, catchy melodies and symphonic orchestra with some unexpected twists here and there. 2- "A Game of Chess" is the band's upcoming single. How long did it take to compose and record it? We started writing songs for the upcoming album in 2021. Once all the songs were ready and demoed, we recorded most of the instruments in the summer and autumn of 2022. The last recordings took place in the spring of 2023, and we went into mixing. A Game of Chess was the third song we mixed, and soon after it was finished we decided to master and release it to give people the first taste of AI! 3- What musical influences inspire the band's compositions?

Exclusive interview with Spektrvm

Greetings and please give a warm welcome to Spektrvm 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest, first off, thanks for taking the time to do the interview, could you give our readers a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? The music of Greek metal group Spektrvm (pronounced ‘Spectrum’) spreads wide across the chromatic political, religious and many other themes. We are 5 different people, with 5 different musical tastes, and that always makes it interesting to see where the mix of ideas and styles will take us.   2- "Blood For Heaven" is the band's first full album, how long did it take to write? Ideas for the album had been forming since the early days it was formed back in 2016, but when we actually decided to write songs and create an almost concept album, the first half took about a year to form, and the other 5 songs, a little less than that. The songs were being tweaked up until the day of their final recording in 2020. Some changes were even made
