Schwarzes Fragment - Alone in the dark

Copenhagen quartet HalfCutLemon return with their second album This Ain’t Real (Aenaos Records, Sept 25, 2025), recorded at the legendary Sweet Silence Studio with producer Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica). Across nine tracks, the band stretch from jagged punk assaults to cinematic baroque pop, joined by guests Peter Peter and Persille Ingerslev. Preceded by the acclaimed singles “Ointment”—praised as “a hefty haymaker” (Turn Up The Volume)—and “The Sun Is Dying”, hailed as “a slow-burning elegy… urgent yet unnerving” (Hella Fuzz), the album tackles themes of turmoil, memory, and renewal in what is set to be HalfCutLemon’s boldest release to date.

Following the release of his album Center of Your World earlier this year, Fernando Honorato returns with his fourth single, "The Fire of the Night," which will be released on October 24.

Drawing inspiration from the 1960s psychedelic rock scene, the track blends dreamy melodies and hypnotic rhythms to celebrate imagination, movement, and the joy of escaping everyday life. It’s a song about losing yourself in music and dancing while letting your mind wander to brighter places.

The single will be released as a radio edit designed to immediately engage listeners. It is accompanied by the full album version as a B-side. Also included is a remix of "Center of Your World" by Peer Lebrecht, also known as Voyna from the German rock band Golden Apes.

"The Fire of the Night" offers fans a first glimpse of Honorato’s upcoming bonus and remix album, set to be released in November. The album will give listeners a taste of the new sonic directions explored in the extended project.
