Friendship Commanders Unleash Thunderous Metal-Rock Fusion with “High Sun”
Nashville-based heavy duo Friendship Commanders is back with a scorching new single, “High Sun,” and it’s a headbanger’s paradise. This track is the third release from their highly anticipated upcoming album, MASS, set to be unleashed on September 29. With “High Sun,” the band takes listeners on a sonic journey through memory, language, and the complex state of Massachusetts.
Buick Audra, the band’s songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist, drew inspiration for the album from her experiences in Massachusetts during her younger years. The driving force behind this concept record was the tragic loss of her dear friend, Marc Orleans. “High Sun” captures the chaos and tribulations Audra faced during her time in Massachusetts, where she was surrounded by apologists and became a scapegoat.
The accompanying video for “High Sun,” directed by Buick Audra herself, enhances the track’s intensity. Shot by Jerry Roe and Buck Audra and edited by Jerry Roe, the video intertwines Super 8 footage with high-resolution digital imagery, creating a visual representation of the past and present.
“High Sun” showcases Friendship Commanders’ ability to seamlessly fuse classic Metal with Rock elements, resulting in a blistering anthem that will resonate with fans of both genres. The song packs a punch with its thunderous riffs and dynamic lyrics, capturing the raw energy and spirit of the band. Prepare to be electrified by Friendship Commanders’ latest offering as they continue to push boundaries and deliver music that sets the stage on fire. Make sure to mark your calendars for the release of “High Sun” on all streaming platforms this Friday, and join the frenzy of playlist shares to experience the power of Friendship Commanders.

“Empatia,“ the stunning electronic debut of Aurien, in collaboration with Jab Vix, is the start of a new creative universe under Aurien’s newly launched imprint Château Bonheur Musique. The track feels like a doorway into a curated emotional space, built from atmosphere, storytelling, and immersive sound design.
“Empatia” is founded upon a contemporary electronic aesthetics that favors texture. The production is sleek and considered, offering up soft rhythmic pulses within roomy layers that breathe. Working with Jab Vix gives texture and dynamics to Aurien’s perspective and sets the sound for the song. It’s more about feeling the music than looking for peaks of high energy. It builds slowly and invites you to sit in the mood.
A highlight is the “Elegant Mix,” which takes the original and gives it a more subdued, slicker makeover. It allows the heart of the composition to come through more intimately, and this duality reinforces the idea behind Château Bonheur Musique as environment, experience, and feeling. “Empatia” is a debut statement and manifesto for the immersive, emotionally intelligent electronic music that works as effortlessly as it does in shared spaces. It’s a thoughtful direction for Aurien, where sound is not just heard, but lived in.
