Solo artist Ørb has come out swinging with their debut single “Ghost Key,” and honestly, it’s a beast of a release.

Single Review: M.Nox – “Last Chance”
M.Nox have a knack for crafting rock that feels both epic and deeply personal! I love how their latest single “Last Chance” opens so gently — the acoustic guitar and soft, cinematic atmosphere immediately draw you in.

Coming straight out of the southern Brazilian city of Criciúma in Santa Catarina, the genre-bending outfit As the Palaces Burn have been one of the country’s best-kept secrets, consistently releasing great material.
