Radiator King aka Adam Silvestri, which also features New York City artist Brian Viglione (formerly of Dresden Dolls & Violent Femmes) has debuted the new single “Gospel” off Radiator King’s forthcoming release Unborn Ghosts, out Aug 21, on SoundEvolution Records.
The track is a pensive, bittersweet anthem. The song defies the idea that relationships are about ownership, that you belong to someone and someone belongs to you.
Nashville indie-folk and Americana group Lake & Lyndale’s “Still Here” is a song for anyone with a dream. The soulful track is about overcoming obstacles through tenacity and perseverance.
“I watch the flicker and the flame/I stay the same,” vocalist Channing Marie sings. “Doubters call me crazy, saying that it’s just a matter of time/ Waiting for the day I pack my bags so they can say there were right/ But I’m still here.” READ MORE…
Through their punishing and dreamy instrumentals, GOLIATHAN is committed to telling stories of epic beginnings and inevitable ends, of the epochal crawl of continents, apocalyptic future landscapes and, perhaps most impactfully, of nature finally—and violently—reclaiming its rightful dominion over man. GOLIATHAN.
Guitarist and principal creative force Shawn Doster puts it simply: “Sometimes the sorrow is too great to put into words.”
“We want the music to communicate everything on its own,” adds Doster’s longtime collaborator, guitarist Kevin Cogill. “The story we tell is apocalyptic but with a twist. When I’m playing the songs, I’m picturing nature correcting itself in the wake of our destruction.”

“A chunky slab of dense, macabre metal, with statement bleakness, cloaked in grey atmospherics.” – ROCK QUEEN REVIEWS
Hailing from Los Angeles, Goliathan play a combo of instrumental, heavy doom and ethereal post-rock. May 29th, 2020 saw the release of their 2 little-known EP’s, ‘Albion’ and ‘Awakens’, both on vinyl. Packaged by United Pressing.
Goliathan’s music narrates sagas of ancient myth and legend, charting the progress of Earth and man, right through to futureal scenes and the return and reclamation of nature.
‘Albion’ was produced by Sean Beavan (NIN, A Perfect Circle, Slayer) and Manny Nieto (Health, Trash Talk, The Breeders).
Performing since their teenage years, in Philadelphia, beginning as crust punk band Under Rage, the founding members of Goliathan developed their music, into a darker beast, which by 2006, had grown into a heavier, post-rock sound. READ MORE…
Some bands thrive on internal discord to create amazing music (i.e., Jesus & Mary Chain, Simon & Garfunkel). Others though, like Gainesville’s Savants of Soul have so much love for each other that there’s not only a fluid musical cohesion in the studio but a tight family unity offstage as well.
