DownTuned on Fediverse

noreply@blogger.com (DowntunedMag) — Sun, 10 May 2026 16:03:00 +0300

As most of you already know, DownTuned has stopped posting on mainstream social media for several years now. This endless hunt for "clicks", "post hits", and "likes" was never something that we were after. People who search for the kind of music we like will, sooner or later, reach DT one way or another.

Additionally, the cesspit that mainstream social media has become is not something that interests us.

So, a while ago, we chose to move our social media activity to a new and much more "healthy" part of the internet: the fediverse. So, if you are already a part of the fediverse, you can can follow us here on our account on the Greek fediverse instance of electricrequiem.com.

Those of you that don't know what fediverse is, check here and here and we hope that you'll soon join this federated network.

Deaf Radio - Big Mistakes (single)

noreply@blogger.com (DowntunedMag) — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 17:35:00 +0200

Deaf Radio: Return with a New Single and New Album Announcement

Deaf Radio from Athens, return with Big Mistakes, a guitar-driven outburst against absurd standards, flirting with the band’s earliest sonic identity. The new single also marks the first announcement of the quartet’s upcoming discography comeback, expected in 2026 with their fourth full-length album.

** listen to Big Mistakes on digital platforms **

** Deaf Radio on bandcamp **

The band:
“Three years after our last release, we’re back with Big Mistakes, the first glimpse of our new record. Right now, we’re going back to guitars—not out of nostalgia, but because we instinctively needed something direct and straightforward, away from the intensity of our early years and the electronic explorations of the previous album.
Big Mistakes repeats again and again—ironically and obsessively. It’s not a song about guilt; it’s a reminder of how easily we fall into blaming ourselves for not reaching goals imposed on us or goals we’ve been conditioned to take for granted. The track is about refusing to play that game.”

The track—along with the upcoming album—was produced by the band and Chris Vlachos at Eightyard Studios. Vlachos also handled the mixing, while the mastering was done at Sweetspot Productions by Yiannis Christodoulatos. The Big Mistakes artwork was created by Kerarh Creative Studio.

Deaf Radio also return to the stage in Athens, performing at Gazarte Ground Stage on Saturday, December 20. After a run that saw them conquer major stages across Greece and Europe, the quartet will play their final big show of the year—closing one chapter and opening the next—with a full set of their most iconic tracks plus a first taste of their new material.

I want it

You better go and bring it

All the dragons ride machines
I can’t believe the mess I'm in
You better realize
It’s right before your eyes
All the dragons ride machines

We’re floating in a cosmic clown parade,
Where nonsense is the highest grade
My dog is always mad, identifies as cat
We’re rolling
We’re dancing
I heard the gods are laughing

All the dragons ride machines
I can’t believe the mess I'm in
You better realize
It’s right before your eyes
All the dragons ride machines

Chaos reigns, and nothing’s clean
Don’t you worry, is just a dream
The world's a magic show
And we’re so down below
Won't wake up
Won't break up
I need a smile to fake it

All the dragons ride machines
I can’t believe the mess I'm in
You better realize
It’s right before your eyes
All the dragons ride machines

Ride machines
Gonna getcha, gonna break ya
Made of sins
All the drugs, all the drugs
Ride machines
All the dragons ride machines
Made of sins
Won’t break up, gonna getcha
No, No

Acid Magus - Emperor (single)

noreply@blogger.com (DowntunedMag) — Tue, 26 Nov 2024 12:29:00 +0200

hand drawn art by Tyrone Le Roux-Atterbury (@just_that_guy_who_draws)

Emerging from the shadows of Pretoria’s rock scene, Acid Magus unleash Emperor, the fiery second single from their upcoming album. Known for their intoxicating blend of doom, stoner, punk, and psych rock, Acid Magus has crafted a track that is both an intense journey into sound and a searing exploration of power’s dark allure.

In a swirl of distorted guitars, heavy riffs, and hypnotic rhythms, Emperor introduces the album’s central antagonist—a power-hungry overlord who thrives on destruction. As a metaphor for colonialism and the erasure of culture, the Emperor embodies raw, destructive ambition. The track invites listeners to confront the brutality of conquest, with haunting lyrics that echo the relentless drive for control. Acid Magus’s characteristic musical grit and psychedelic edge deliver a visceral experience, drawing inspiration from the likes of Mastodon, Kylesa, and Baroness, all while infusing their signature South African flair.

Emperor by Acid Magus

Emperor is also the shortest track on the upcoming album, offering a potent glimpse into the broader narrative Acid Magus has woven. With epic vocal cries and spine-chilling drops into sonic oblivion, the song encapsulates the wild thoughts of the loathsome Emperor himself, pulling listeners deeper into his tortured psyche. Acid Magus’s commitment to a raw, DIY approach comes through in every heavy beat and spiraling riff, creating a sound that’s both timeless and immediately captivating.

“We wanted to capture the Emperor’s madness and the absolute corruption of power,” the band shares. “This song channels the darkness in humanity that few dare to confront. Psychosis never sounded this good.”

Fans of Zeppelin, Sabbath, and the heavy psychedelia of modern bands like Slift will recognize Acid Magus’s reverence for rock’s legends, while newcomers to the genre will find themselves immersed in a hypnotic mix of styles, from 60s psych to alt-rock intensity.

Acid Magus is:
Guitars - Keenan Kinnear
Bass - Roelof Van Tonder
Guitar/Vocals - Brendon Bezuidenhout
Lead Vocals - Anrico Jeske
Drums - Jethro Vlag

[Vid] Weevil - Insomnia (single)

noreply@blogger.com (DowntunedMag) — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 00:34:00 +0200

In Weevil's words:

"Insomnia" is a song inspired by wide-open spaces and the strange blend of emotions that come with sleepless nights. It’s about those quiet hours where everything is still, yet your mind is alive with thoughts. We wanted to capture the beauty and the chaos of that feeling. It is the desert of our minds.

"Insomnia" is a bold preview of what’s to come on "Easy Way", which is set for release on December 13, 2024. Produced by the band with the valuable help of engineer Thanos Amorginos, the album promises to balance the raw energy of tracks like "Wake the Dead" with the introspective depth of "Insomnia".

Insomnia by Weevil

Lyrics:

It’s been a few days
Can’t get no sleep
My mind is foggy
Run out of pills

Tell me a story
To help me go sleep
Tell me a story
I run out of pills
Tell me a story
I need to sleep
Tell me a story
I run out of pills

[Vid] KAIJUJU - Death All Over (debut single+video)

noreply@blogger.com (DowntunedMag) — Fri, 1 Nov 2024 21:18:00 +0200

Kaijuju is a relatively new heavy quartet from Athens/Greece consisted of members with prior "service" in known bands of the greek punk & hardcore scene. (Alex, bass on Youth Crasher / Orfeas, vocals on Wish Upon a Star).
Their sound is a mix of various influences mainly from metal, death, hardcore and punk, with themselves describing it as "chug rock".

"Death All Over" is their first single/video of several others to come in the near future. Its anti-war lyrics have an obvious inspiration which is directly connected with the current events on the wars taking place at the moment and at the same time they state an obvious message which is as diachronic and timeless as war itself.

Check the band's links: https://linktr.ee/kaijuju

lyrics:
I'll state the obvious
We have no lives to spare
For the ambitions of our rulers

The ones that will prevail
Are making history
Lies to feed the population

We're cannon fodder
We're just a number
We are the cogs of the machine

Another day at war
Death all over
No god to save us all
The hunters will feed on their prey

Every man for himself
Every woman and child to their death

Genocidal Generation
Conflict is all they know

Lousy bars
Broken strings
Broken cars
Sm-ell of beer
In the air
Lemmy is smiling
From up there

For rock n roll
There’s nothing left to dread
Let’s play dirty
Let’s play loud
We have to wake the dead

Lyrics:
I got me into this life
Screaming waters rise
Poison in my veins
Never-ending pain
And I don’t want a reason to break me
Fear is coming to get me
Release my body’s addiction
Enter my mind’s conviction
See my fingers break
Just breathe, for God’s sake
Merciless and no remorse
The end is getting close
See my broken window
Wish I had your wisdom
Cancel all my feelings
Wounds are now healing
And I don’t want a reason to break me
Fear is coming to get me
Release my body’s addiction
Enter my mind’s conviction
I wander into the cave
Through darkness, searching to explain
The origins of the past
The strong roots that last
The reason I’m afraid
Is the evolution of my brain
The failures of the past
The strong roots that last
And I don’t want a reason to break me
Fear is coming to get me
Release my body’s addiction
Enter my mind’s conviction

Since their formation in 2009, they have evolved their style to include elements of dub and shoegaze, enriched with layers of bass and atmospheric effects.

Instant Boner from Thessaloniki, Greece just released their brand new single "Chasing Fire" which is already available for you to listen through their bandcamp page.

Chasing Fire by Instant Boner

Here's their announcement:
Releasing a single is liberating in a sense since we don't care about making a cohesive sonic narrative for an album! This song felt on its own musically, lyrically Marianthi got inspired by the constant and avoidable fires in Greece....

lyrics:

You live your life but you're chasing the fire
You live your life but you're chasing the fire
You're chasing
You're chasing the fire
You cry about it but you still there
Refusing all that they say
Everything everything burns down
Guess you never knew
What you can do
Or believe you are
Yes, you don't know how to fight
Yes, you don't care if you die
But I'm losing my
Losing my mind
You don't deny
That you close your eyes
You don't deserve
Yet another life

In my mind
Losing it
I can't breath
You're chasing me down

You try to hide and you remain silent
They're burning our forest again
Burning our future again
Cause
We're refusing to wake up
They're Burning our life
Yes, you don't care if they lie
Guess you don't care if you die
But I'm losing my
Losing my mind
You don't deny
That you close your eyes in
You don't deserve
Yet another life

In my mind
Losing it
I can't breath
You're chasing me down
You don't get yeah
You don't care
You don't get yeah
Another chance
I m losing it , I m losing it
And I can't breath
I cannot breath
I m losing it , I m losing it
And I can't breath
I cannot breath
You're killing me

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 11:47:00 +0300

Miranda and the Beat are back with a brand new slab of audio splendor. “Can’t Take It” was recorded in King Khan’s Moon Studios Rock n Roll Vortex in a remote village on the German countryside.
Written and recorded in just five days, the album blends all the best flavors from pure punk anthems played at a chair smashing intensity, to grinding R n B, to hypnotic edgy sci-fi alchemy and even some heart smashing balladry to boot.
Miranda Zipse (Lead Vocals and Guitar), Dylan Fernandez (Farfisa and guitar), and Alvin Jackson (bass) have created a rock and roll storm so prepare your ears for a hurricane of blasphemy and tears.
After extensively touring since their debut ‘Self-Titled’ LP release in May 2023, the band is back full force with their classic gut wrenching guitar, tear jerking vocals, and taste for blood.

when the moon was high by Hermano

The band's message:

“We are so incredibly thankful to be able to bring new music to both new fans and those who have followed Hermano for the last twenty-six years. We are looking eagerly forward to continuing this reissues and special editions journey with Ripple . . . so hang onto your hats because we have a lot more coming and a long way to go. Breathing new life into our catalog and having the opportunity to release special collections like Breathe, well, it is an especially 'dream-come-true' time for all of us. For that, and to all who have continued to stay interested, thank you.”
John, Dave, Mike, Chris, and Dandy

Taking back claim to the territory they had charted years ago, Breathe, the upcoming limited-edition release from Hermano, features the first new music released by the band in fifteen years.

While the band had continued to write and perform on each other’s individual projects during the last decade and a half, Breathe showcases the sticky-sweet and heavy blues riffs and tones that are unique to these five musicians when they come together under the Hermano banner.

The title track, Breathe, travels back to the band’s first release, filled with the same swagger and heavy hand as the band’s initial offerings, reinforcing the impact the band has had upon modern heavy rock, and driving blues genres.
