Heavy Act BONE DAGGER Encourages Self-Reflection In New Single “The Narcissist”

Posted in Hard Rock, Music, music news with tags , , , , on August 2, 2024 by Metal Odyssey

Heavy outfit BONE DAGGER delivers a prescription for riffs with a dose of self-examination in the new single “The Narcissist”. Taking a deep dive into the shadows, BONE DAGGER takes an unidealistic approach exploring the realities of trauma, emotion and the human experience. 

BONE DAGGER’s project leader John Lund comments on the focus of the single: 

“I took the first person approach because EVERYONE has Narcissistic tendencies and traits. I like holding up the mirror to others and hopefully some introspection results from listening. Additionally, if I point the finger at myself – who can accuse me of projection?”

About BONE DAGGER: 
BONE DAGGER was founded in 2020 by John Lund during the pandemic following a 7-year hiatus from any sort of musical output. BONE DAGGER was devised with the intention of keeping as much in-house as possible with the exception of post-production. Around a year later Braden Richey joined the fold as the lead guitarist and contributed to the EP, The Veil, before taking a perpetual leave of absence in late 2022. John is pushing on as a solo act until the right members are found. Musically the band draws influence from a wide array of rock and metal acts including GOJIRA, MUSE, SLIPKNOT, and ALICE IN CHAINS.

Metal Singer-Songwriter WHITE CRONE Releases New Single “Prognosticator”

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, music videos with tags , , , , on August 1, 2024 by Metal Odyssey

Heavy metal enchantress WHITE CRONE has released her latest single “Prognosticator”. The hard-rocking single conjures up the magic of another time both in its lyrics and in its feel. The music recalls metal classics such as DIO and JUDAS PRIEST, while the lyrics whisk the listener into a world full of darkness and corruption. Vocalist and composer Lisa Mann howls her condemned protagonist’s tale with elegant fury.

About WHITE CRONE:
Based out of Portland, Oregon, WHITE CRONE is the metal brainchild of award-winning blues artist and bassist/vocalist Lisa Mann. Growing up in the mosh pits of the 80s, she was inspired by bands such as IRON MAIDEN, MERCYFUL FATE, BLACK SABBATH, MANOWAR, DIO, and more. A mostly one-woman project, WHITE CRONE is a love letter to this grand era of metal, and a lyrical homage to mystical storytelling traditions of yore.

In 2020 she channeled all those influences and released her debut album as WHITE CRONE, the critically acclaimed The Poisoner. For the first time, she featured not only on bass guitar and vocals, but on 7-string guitar as well. Larry London provided most of the drums, save for one track featuring the legendary Vinny Appice (BLACK SABBATH, DIO).

Now she is poised to release a follow-up album, of which the title track, “Prognosticator”, is the first single. The song “Prognosticator” is a fast-paced, prog-adjacent power metal romp which tells the preternatural origin story of the character WHITE CRONE, retaining the occult storytelling elements of the first album. It is the tale of a self-fulfilling astrological prophecy.
