Bombyx Mori presents: “Chaotic Resonance”

Silk is often associated with smoothness and softness, but it is a material with many other qualities. It is incredibly strong and durable and has a rich history behind it. The manufacturing process is painstaking, involving domesticated silkworms humans have bred for so many generations that they no longer exist in the wild.
With such a poetic shot at its name, Bombyx Mori (Which is also the scientific name of the silkworm) is a band that combines various challenging music styles with open-minded lyrics and a deeper focus on existential and social themes. The story behind this project is fascinating. Stefano, the musician at the helm of the band, had to stop playing with his bands due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many other musicians out there, he found himself stranded and unable to do what he loved. Still, he persevered and came up with some unique ideas despite these challenges.
Cool concepts kept rolling, and he was able to come up with some bass patterns that eventually turned into full songs with the help of musicians from all over the world, who joined forces with him in order to bring these tracks to life.
The decision to invite a diverse group of outside musicians had a significant impact on the project. Not only did it bring a broader range of musical backgrounds, but it also introduced fresh ideas and excitement. The open-ended approach to creativity resulted in songs that benefited greatly from the collaboration of musicians from different parts of the world. It shows Stefano‘s ability to continually explore new sounds, but at the same time, remaining rooted in a very personal aesthetic that makes his work all more intuitive and easy to connect with.
From metalcore-inspired tracks like “Freeze The Frame” down to the progressive leanings of “Through The Lens,” and hints of hard rock and folk on “Clockwork Man,” there is room for different directions on every song, making the album diverse and spontaneous. “Chaotic Resonance” is currently available on streaming platforms:

“When the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world, restrictions made it difficult, if not almost impossible, to continue performing live or even meet to create music. So, I decided to develop the 11 songs I had written with musicians from all over the globe,” Stefano said.
“I started from scratch, beginning with the band’s name: Bombyx Mori, which is nothing but the scientific name for the silkworm, chosen after discovering that these creatures have been exploited by humans for industrial purposes for so long that they no longer exist in nature and have even undergone profound changes in appearance and behaviour (now they are white instead of the “natural” dark brown, and they could not survive freely as they are too easily detectable by predators; furthermore, the larvae are no longer able to procure food for themselves and must therefore be artificially fed). It immediately seemed to me to be a fitting metaphor for the society and the world we live in.”
“Despite the obvious difficulties of a music production carried out solely via the web, the album Chaotic Resonance that resulted from this “global” collaboration turned out to be extremely unconventional and refreshing to listen to, ranging across different genres and managing to be as heterogeneous as the cultural, social, religious, and musical backgrounds of those involved:
- Drums => Italy
- Bass => Italy
- Guitars => India/Brazil/Argentina/Italy/Japan
- Synth/Keyboards/FX’s => Ukraine/India/Finland/Italy
- Brass (on “Leaves in the Wind”) => USA
- Theremin (on “Through the Lens”) => Italy
- Bagpipes/Celtic Flutes (on “Clockwork Man”) => Germany
- Harmonica (on “Liars”) => Australia
- Saxophone (on “The Promise”) => Nigeria
- Vocals => Netherlands/USA
- Mix/Master => Sri Lanka
The presence of musicians from all continents and the use of unconventional instruments in the metal scene led to the intertwining of rhythmic patterns derived from the most disparate musical genres, which, combined with modern sounds and socially-oriented lyrics, contributed to shaping the band’s trademark.”

Kayla Marque lights a fire with “Slow Burn”

Kayla Marque has returned with a new single, “Slow Burn,” a simmering, soul-passionate affair that holds you well past when the last notes die out. True to her endlessly evolving artistry, Marque serves up something future-facing and thoughtful, stitching together a grunge-adjacent bassline with ethereal melodies and haunting vocal dynamics.
Right from the outset, “Slow Burn” sucks you into its smoky milieu. The measured bassline sounds plucked from the ‘90s alt-rock golden age and dunked in modern, velvety skin. But Marque’s voice brings center stage, fluent, forceful, and emotionally detailed. She doesn’t only sing; she tells stories, whispers, and wails, and her approach lends the music an astonishing contrast between restraint and release.
As the song progresses, there’s something undeniably mesmerizing about how the instrumentation interacts with the vocals. The melodies shimmer like heat off the pavement, entrapping listeners in a hypnotic haze that feels at once intimate and cinematic. Marque displays not only her vocal range but also her emotional depth. Every note feels deliberate, and every word feels lived-in.
What’s so exciting about “Slow Burn” is how it feels like another chapter in a broader story. Kayla Marque has consistently refused to settle into a single groove, and this track demonstrates that she’s continuing to push limits and defy expectations. There’s a rawness here, an audacity that doesn’t plead for attention but commands it regardless. It’s a song that reveals more textures and emotions after every listen. “Slow Burn” is a vibe, a feeling, a statement. It’s another step in Kayla Marque’s evolution as an artist, and if this is what’s to come, we’re in for something special.

Michael Gungor shares a beam of light in a noisy world for “Same Sky”

Michael Gungor is back with a bright new offering in “Same Sky,” a song that brims with hope, heart, and harmony. Famed for pushing musical boundaries and weaving soul-stirring messages into his work, Gungor once again taps into something universal, but this time, it feels even more personal.
“Same Sky” is quietly earning it. From the opening couple of seconds, Gungor’s earnest vocals draw you into a dramatic pop arrangement that swells with elegance instead of aggression. It’s uplifting without being preachy, powerful without overwhelming, and an emotional sweet spot that only an artist as seasoned as Gungor could easily manage. What really lodges, though, is the chorus. It is an anthemic quality, the kind you pause mid-scroll or mid-thought to take a breath during. It’s as if to remind you that we still live under the same sky, however divided the world feels. That simple but profound message feels like a quiet awakening in an era of turmoil.
The production is clean and warm, imbued with a modern pop sensibility that never overwhelms the emotion at the center of the song. Every element, the soft percussion, the delicate synth layers, the melodies that tilt toward the sky like a beam of sunlight breaking after a storm, feels carefully placed as an accompaniment to Gungor’s voice, which wavers between tender and assertive.
It’s a timely song. “Same Sky” takes note of our common humanity without getting preachy in a world that can feel like splintering apart at the seams. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering his music, “Same Sky” is a lovely entry into Gungor’s world, one marked by purpose, artistry, and the kind of emotional honesty we could all stand to listen to more.
