The fresh new metal duo QARINAH shares a new single "Impermanence" alongside a killer new music video aimed to create a profound audio and visual connection for the listener.
Singer and drummer, Miss Randall (ex-Rusty Eye) comments:
"For those aching for a revisit of the classic European alternative and industrial metal of the 90s, we bring forth 'Impermanence,' a fresh take on the metal we all miss. Additionally, we create a deeper nostalgic connection with visuals, our music video will stimulate your senses. As an ode to Headbangers Ball, a juxtaposition of several themes that are part of the human condition: birth/death, growth/destruction, love/hate, knowledge/ignorance. There is no denying that we live in extraordinary times, so this video shows this existential feeling, while the lyrics communicate our strength as we all face mortality."
For QARINAH, Miss Randall has teamed up with Waldemar Sorychta, known for his production for bands such as Lacuna Coil, Tiamat, and Moonspell. Sorychta has also played guitar in Grip Inc. alongside the incomparable Dave Lombardo and as a touring guitarist for Overkill, Exhorder, and Therion.
About QARINAH, Sorychta comments:
"Our music has many metal moods, but we try to not only make compromises between the music we love to hear and the roots we come from. And, Miss Randall is an excellent singer. I very much like her voice and she's a very good drummer. The situation of having a singing female drummer is very unique."
Miss Randall is an established singing drummer and composer previously in the Los Angeles/CDMX metal scene with former band Rusty Eye and Sergio Arau y Los Heavy Mex. Now a solo artist based in Portland, Oregon, Miss Randall has been releasing singles, including the NWOBHM anthem "Pagan Burial,” a cover of “Albatross” by Corrosion of Conformity, an EP entitled 'Desertations, Vol.1' and more.
Waldemar and Miss Randall met in person at a Graspop Festival in the late 2000s, ending in the collaboration of several singles with Rusty Eye, and the growth of a strong friendship, leading to the series of visits to Germany and Finland since late 2022 as they’ve been producing and recording songs.
The track was produced by Waldemar Sorychta and Miss Randall in collaboration with mixing/mastering engineer Dennis Koehne (Sodom, Lacuna Coil, Tristania, et al), audio engineer Jan Rechberger at Helsinki Moon Unit studio (drummer in Amorphis, The Eternal), and LA-based engineer Yury Anysonyan at Box Studio (Spineshank, The Love Project).
QARINAH’s name story nods to Waldemar’s productions with Samael, Therion, or The Gathering (recently certified gold), and while it’s mystical in nature, it’s not for the faint of heart, coming from the feared story of an orgone energy female succubus demon of Middle Eastern tradition.
