Elizabeth Winterbourne – Salem

Single | 25/10/2025
4:37 | Digital
Indie Folk / Folk Pop
New York City, New York, USA

This truly haunting tracks is a beautiful combination of independent and popular contemporary folk music. Arizona-born, NYC-based artist Elizabeth Winterbourne deals with modern-day witch hunts in her new single Salem. Drawing parallels between the Middle Ages, the late 17th century in North America, and present days, the song focuses on the fate of the marginalised and the oppressed. Despite its dark topic, Elizabeth Winterbourne‘s Salem is a highly empowering anthem. The song’s bridge and the chorus especially sound like warming sunrays breaking through the canopy of a mysterious forest.

Black Diamond – Still Life

Alternative Metal / Melodic Metal
Florence, Italy

Tuscan metal band Black Diamond takes their listeners by the hands and shows them around the depths of life and existence. Still Life is a very personal album for the members of Black Diamond. Powered by melodic, dark, and heavy sounds, they explore episodes of their own lives and invite the audience to find and reflect themselves in these eleven tales. Still Life is an emotional and musical panopticon as the album offers insights, flashbacks, and perspectives of the world. Simultaneously, Black Diamond actively push the borders of alternative and melodic metal by spicing the sound with a certain gothic air and serving it in a very modern outfit.

Bodies And Distance combines thrill and horror, psychedelia and bone-dry folk, curiousity and courage. Thus, make yourselves ready for a trip to a spooky wonderland covered in mist, smoke, and excitement.
