Creative time warp video from Sci-Fi Romance for their new track, If I Fell

November 15, 2015

Alternative rockers Sci-Fi Romance have just released a very creative time video utilizing footage of a 1950’s marketing film. The alt-rock trio from Los Angeles are set to release their new album, Dust Among the Stars in January 2016 and this is the first single off the album. Check out the video here: “This album was a hard-fought son of a bitch,” says Kotrla, “I’m proud we never gave up on it.” The album features a variety of Kotrla’s influences, showcasing his incredible ability to emote precisely what his feelings were in certain moments of his life. On “Pale Blue Dot”, Kotrla found inspiration in the famous photo of Earth taken by Voyager I before it left the solar system. “It’s the kind of picture that, when you see it, it has the ability to change you.” Kotrla describes. “That’s not such a bad thing to write a song about, if you ask me.” ‘Shakespeare’s Lovers’features help from the likes of award-winning opera singer,Kristin Vogel. “She’s sung in The Magic Flute, La Boheme, and I Pagliacci [Read More]

Get ready for Blood Junkie, the new brew from Prosthetic Records and Three Weavers Brewing

November 15, 2015

PROSTHETIC RECORDS has teamed with their friends and neighbors at Three Weavers Brewing Companyto combine their love of beer and heavy metal by brewing and bottling the Blood Junkie Imperial Red Ale. Roping in acclaimed artist and fellow beer aficionado Dan Mumford (The Black Dahlia Murder, Parkway Drive) to design the bottle’s menacing artwork (as seen above), the bottled version of Blood Junkie will make its debut on Nov. 21. Sharing a common affinity for assertively hopped ales, Three Weavers brewmaster Alexandra Nowell and Prosthetic co-founder E.J. Johantgen melded minds and sought to develop a ruby-hued imperial red that was big and malt-driven, yet dry and balanced. Johantgen commented, “I have been obsessed with beer and the process of making beer for years – almost as long as I’ve been obsessed with metal. Alex and Three Weavers are even more passionate about making some of the best beer imaginable. So it only made sense that the hop-heads here at PROSTHETIC be a part of something as special as Blood Junkie. We are very proud of the result [Read More]
