PARADIS
FAST RISING HARD-HITTERS UNLEASH NEW SINGLE FROM UPCOMING EP!
Highly rated Londoners, PARADIS, unveil their blistering self-titled debut EP, out on Friday 20th September. The Brit metalcorers have also just released their explosive new single and video, Walking Aberration -
Check out the band at - https://open.spotify.com/artist/01IoQdAyKiw7rSNuqalgPK .
Hitting your senses from the backstreets of London, England, PARADIS are a fiery quintet that blend elephantine riffs and powerful vocals, merged with a raft of influences that incorporate enticing synths and considered arrangements. Born in 2023, PARADIS have already racked up favourable comparisons to everyone from Parkway Drive, Architects and Avenged Sevenfold. Featuring Jonny Weaver (Vocals), Pedro Silva (Guitars), Federico Di Biase (Guitars), Mark Kuchmenko (Bass), and Flynn Everard (Drums), the band members have been born widely across the globe, but collectively they’re a group of brothers with a mutual love for all things metal.
Countless rehearsals and lengthy writing sessions have certainly strengthened the five-piece over the past year and have enabled the energetic riff merchants to produce their debut self-titled EP. Jonny Weaver comments: “This is the first project I've ever worked on that was truly a team effort. We've integrated everyone's ideas in one way or another and created an EP we are so proud of. Expect heavy riffs, huge choruses and immense breakdowns, featuring extra elements of synths and orchestration.”
As well as creating their debut release, PARADIS have also gained a mounting reputation for their towering live performances and are quickly making a name for themselves throughout the London scene. Now, with the release of their brand-new debut EP, the band are truly ready to shine. Loaded with five stunning slabs of unstoppable metalcore, PARADIS are set to rise up.
EP track listing: 1) Boneyard, 2) Reflections, 3) Immortal, 4) Storm, 5) Walking Aberration.

HAMULEC
RISING THRASH PUNKS DETAIL STUNNING NEW SINGLE!
Darkened Euro riff slayers, HAMULEC, have arrived with their brutal new single and video, Stos, which is out now. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRNbr4Jq6m4 , and listen to the band at https://open.spotify.com/artist/12iXISZeZrZcnlYzn7fwnZ . The hotly tipped heavyweights have also just wooed audiences at the Jarocin Festival, sharing the stage with Vader, as well as at PolandRock, where they captured electrifying coverage of the performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZI86qhNM-8 .
Drawing from a powerful kinship and liking for the back catalogues of Slayer, Anthrax, Behemoth, and Venom, as well as the old school punk scene of their Polish homeland, HAMULEC (pronounced ‘Ha-moo-lets’) set loose a richly rewarding brand of thrash punk layered with blackened tones and strong originality. Bursting out of Będzin, Poland, and comprised of brothers Mikołaj (Vocals and Guitar) and Filip Karolewski (Drums), along with old friends, Kacper Sobczyk (Bass), and Kuba Habrat (Lead Guitar), the early beginnings of HAMULEC can be traced to 2018. It was in 2020, however, when the irrepressible quartet placed themselves on the map, with their debut single, Generacja. Ever since then, the darkened punk thrashers have consistently released a flurry of albums and singles that have resulted with HAMULEC amassing nearly one million streams on Spotify. In regard to social media numbers, the band are one of the fastest-growing metal artists in Poland. HAMULEC are not just about strong streaming numbers and Instagram followers though. They have also constantly toured throughout Poland, which has resulted in building them a strong and dedicated fanbase. The unstoppable hard-hitters have just played a handful of shows with UK trailblazers, Wargasm. The band have also just undertaken explosive live sets at two of Poland’s biggest festivals: PolandRock and Jarocin.
With a growing live reputation for selling out shows, the Polish punks are now gearing up for the release of their next single, Stos. The band remark about the track: “It’s a powerful exploration of the terrifying force of a crowd. Inspired by the fear of standing against a mob, this song delves into the aggression of a mass that burns everything in its path. The video was recorded in the eerie setting of an abandoned building during a heavy storm; it’s really raw and intense.”
With a stunning single and video in hand and plans to hit the rest of Europe and the UK, HAMULEC’s continued rise is imminent.

INTERVIEW 31STH AUGUST 2024
MM:Tell us a bit about your band and influences
Hamulec is a 4 piece band that started its journey in 2019. We just wanted to play as everybody else.
We had influences from various genres but mostly punk and thrash. So fast and aggressive :D
However, with the second album we connected with our black metal side and we tried to give our record more weight and emotions.
MM: What are your plans tour and festival wise for the rest of 2024 and going into next year
We are starting on 14.09 and we plan to play over Poland. Right now I believe we have 13 gigs set up, but there is still space and people are inviting us to play together.
MM: Which three Bands would be your ultimate touring buddies
From our home area - Punched Orange, were the best band to tour together. Everything was on time and they packed a punch on every single gig.
I think we would love to play with Gojira and Behemoth as they seem pretty cool and they're shows are amazing.
Also WargasmUK. We played a support gig before them and after that we had a few too many beers!
MM: What's the most memorable concert you've been to (other than your own) and why
Kacper and Filip would say that it was Gojira in Wrocław.
I think it's Prophets of Rage on PolandRock for me (Mikołaj) and Kuba
MM: What is the craziest thing you have seen at a gig
A small local black metal band were walking to the stage with this polish church song on as an intro and then after a few songs they started pouring wine over the audience. Metal AF!
MM: Obviously the internet helps a lot these days. But how hard is it to get noticed with so many bands out there
You just need to work hard and be smart. I educate myself everyday on social media matters. They are necessary if you want to play in this world.
MM: What do you feel has been your biggest accomplishment so far
Playing on PolandRock 30th this year. 10k people singing our songs. Insane!
MM: Which are your Two favourite Albums of all time
Gojira - L'Enfant Sauvage
Metallica - AJFA
MM:I there was a metal song about yourself what would it be called
tale of four stupid and stubborn fuckers.
MM: If you could do a cover of any song which one would it be and why?
It would probably be one of the polish oldies. "Jest taki samotny dom" or "Krakowski Spleen"
MM: Tell us why we should buy and listen to your new album
Right now we are after the premiere of our newest single "Stos". I think everybody should listen to it because people are finding different inspirations with it all the time.
I guess you could name at least 2 after listening to it :D. Other than that it's just aggressive and hardcore piece
MM: Four words to describe Hamulec
Fast, Loud, Raw, Dirty.
Final Words?
Thank you for having us here! I hope you will all listen to our music and leave some positive or negative quotes :D
