Today (13th), Qarinah, the duo comprised of Miss Randall and Waldemar Sorychta have released their anticipated debut EP Transcendent. The EP features four tracks, including “Hell or High Water” and “Impermanence,” blending groove and classic metal styles. The duo has teamed up with Metal Insider to commemorate the release by streaming the EP.
Miss Randall comments:
“Aside from the great Waldemar Sorychta, I wanted to express my deepest admiration toward the fallen former lead singer in Grip Inc. Gus Chambers, and also Dave Lombardo, an accomplished drummer who needs no introduction. All these unique characters shaped who I am in metal and created something larger than life that I look up to: pure raw metal with emotion.” It all starts with “Hell or High Water,” a song about fighting against all odds. Then, “Impermanence,” which is an honest anthem about our inevitable demise. “Not For Sale” is another tune that comes from the dissatisfaction with the societal rules when it comes to being unapologetically you. And finally, “Alchemy” talks about the stages of alchemical transformation in a human being as they are doing The Work.”
Sorychta adds:
“This is a combination between hard grooves like Grip Inc. and melodic tunes that are working harmonically and not as opposites. Overall, the music is made with soul and passion presented with great production and heavy sound. Miss Randall’s voice brings in the heavy parts with a touch of California punk. I’m very proud of this result and there are many more written and pre-produced. This is just the beginning. ”
