Next up, from the album 2/14 - released on 2/14 - we have the second track on the album. Great sound.
Manntra is a folk-metal band from Croatia. This is the first single ahead of their album. It is the tale of a pirate king cursed to sail the sea forever. For East Nashville readers, think a much, much darker Tom Mason. I liked this a lot.

Distant Voices is the solo moniker of London-based Valdis Stekelis, and the song is the debut single from this new project, and it is a most impressive debut.

And, we close out this segment of music with a track from the debut EP from Denison, Texas based singer-songwriter Goosechase. The EP was self-produced and sounds fantastic.
