Rainyard from Thessaloniki, Greece have just released their debut album "Powerslide", a powerful blend of contemporary heavy rock with 90's grunge revival that. It will definitely sound pleasing to the ears of a diverse audience of various ages.
Sometimes you have to think abstract... to understand what logic alone can't touch!

This song marks the beginning of our creative journey for our first LP "Riffs of Ha", encapsulating the essence of our instrumental stoner rock style. With a perfect blend of crushing riffs and hypnotic, intricate passages, it pushes the boundaries of psychedelic instrumental music.
Designed for the live stage, this track immerses listeners in a dynamic sonic landscape, creating a visceral experience that demands attention. It’s not just a song—it’s an invitation to explore new realms of sound, and it sets the tone for the energy we bring to every live performance.
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....
“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.”

The whole procedure of making this album, from recordings, editing and mixing, to designing the artwork and cassette cover, kept me sane and motivated during these really hard times of uncertainty, doubt and fear.In this album I experimented with more psychedelic soundscapes,filtered the greek mountain folk music scales into guitar licks,backed up by Korg micro synths and guitar effects. DIY all the way.
