Kidnap is an artist whose music overflows with emotion - rich and powerfully evocative.

Recording in London, Kidnap (real name Matthew Relton) likens his process to that of a sculptor, starting with a block of sound and chopping away until a shape emerges. As such, each song exists ornately carved with a handcrafted subtly.

Still just 33, Relton is already something of an industry veteran. Releasing his first single in 2012 kicked off an eight-year stretch of global touring that came to a grinding halt when the pandemic put the world on pause.

2024 marks a new chapter for Kidnap, with his next body of work on the horizon. Set against the backdrop of a changing world and the arrival of a baby daughter, Relton offers a bittersweet reflection on the passing of time. ‘It’s about looking back on the last 12 years — the touring and the friends and the sleeplessness,” says Relton, “and realising that in order to embrace the life I have now, I need to let it all go.’ The music shimmers with nostalgia. Signature sad melodies dance deftly around commanding synth lines, altogether sounding like an artist with a new found sense of purpose.

Baltimore based Progressive Metal artists Rome Apart pride themselves in their high energy and power-packed live shows. Showcasing their unique blend of what they jokingly refer to as "the layman's progressive metal," the band taps into musical elements and influences that not only span the genre but destroy all boundaries entirely. Their balance of electronica and tech-metal is easy to digest yet laden with finger bending riffs.

Sharing the stage with such acts as Protest the Hero, The Devin Townsend Project, The Ocean, Symphony X, He Is Legend, and All That Remains, Rome Apart fulfills the elusive goal of delivering a lethal dose of melodic technicality and brutality.

Currently, the band is hard at work promoting their third release, "Transmissions," which has been noted as being the heaviest and most complex work they have produced to date. A concept album sure to strike chords with all mankind, Transmissions is available worldwide on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Rhapsody, and more. 

The bands debut album, "Others," pays homage to their progressive roots with songs like "Swan Song" and "Connections" while the epic "The Rift" dives violently into the murky waters of drone and death metal. Initially released via the internet as a free download in late 2006, "Others" later became available from the bands iTunes store page.

Their 2009 follow up album, "Self," took to a greater contrast by infusing the polar extremes of progressive metal and electronica. The concept album, based on the struggles to remain true to yourself, is comprised of moments of brutality seamlessly married with drifting ambiance.
