LA alternative metal bandย Gemini Syndromeย have just announced that after a lengthy, multi-year absence from touring that they will be returning to the road this summer. The band will be joined byย A Killerโs Confession,ย Ovtlier, yย Pushing Veronica. Also added to a select number of shows will beย Eva bajo fuego. All tour dates are listed below.
The band will be touring in support of their recently released videos and singlesย โDie With Meโ, โIDKโ, โReintegrationโ, and their forthcoming new studio album.
โWeโre very excited to get back on the road this summer with some great friends. After all that the world has been through, it will be nice to be part of the communion of synners once again. See you all soon!โย says Gemini Syndrome vocalistย Aaron Nordstrom.
Drummerย Brian Steele Medinaย continues,ย โItโs great to get back out and visit with our brothers and sisters again. Now more than ever we could all use music and human contact to balance out the pandemic, murder hornets & Pentagon UFO videos.โ
Gemini Syndrome have recently released their new track and music video for โDie With Meโ via Century Media. Watch the music videoย AQUรย and purchase/stream the trackย AQUร. The track has recently entered the Active Rock radio charts, and sets the stage for the bandโs new album (their 3tercerย overall) which is scheduled to be released later this year. Full details on the new studio album will be released at a later date.
โ23, Shakespeare, The divine wedding of yin and yangโฆ โDie With Meโ is an invitation for the listener to come along on the journey of self-discovery with us, which ultimately leads to the death of the lower self and the resurrection of the higher self. Lao Tzu said, โThe one created the two, the two created the three, and then came the 10,000 things.โ ย 2 and 3 respectively correspond to the male and female energies. 2 being a single line and 3 being a triangle or vessel. Therefore 23 signifies the merging of the seemingly opposite energies of male and female,โย states Gemini Syndrome vocalistย Aaron Nordstromย about the newest release.
Gemini Syndrome drummerย Brian Steele Medinaย adds, โIn our life we have many deaths, and many reincarnations, and these experiences transform us into a more complete version of our true selfโฆ Though while weโre goingย through it, itโs often uncomfortable, painful, and we tend to avoid these spiritual growth spurts because weโre more comfortable sitting in our pain and shit, than walking throughย it. So, after weโve walked through enough of these challenges, we might seek out that person, or tribe whose combined experience could help each other traverse that path toย transmutation.โ
โOur video for โDie With Meโ is designed for the watcher to be exposed to certain signs and symbols and evoke a spiritual experience.โย continues Medina.ย โIt depicts a young initiate performing aย ritual at her sacred altar. The blindfold symbolizes that her quest for truth must begin within. She contemplates time, and she laments death and learns that time is an illusion.ย She scribes the language of her heart as she cries out to the Universe, (Uni-Verse = The One Song.)ย And weโre all dead, so thatโs cool too.โ
โThe video for โDie With Meโ shows a different side of death than weโve shown before. Even though weโre all fatally wounded in some way, weโre still performing and extendingย our invitation. Maybe the girl is performing a ritual to help our souls cross the river styx?ย Or to keep us animated in our now, dead state,โ adds Nordstrom about the โDie With Meโ music video.
Gemini Syndrome spent the better part of 2018-2019 writing the final installment of their long planned three album trilogy. They retreated to drummer Brian Steele Medinaโs Las Vegas home studio, where they meticulously crafted song after song, relentlessly reworking and rearranging the musical arrangements until they were fully satisfied. After an exhaustive writing process, Gemini Syndrome relocated to Good Sounds Studio in Tempe AZ, where producer Matt Good would help realize the collection of songs. Medina recalls,ย โWe absolutely loved working with Matt and he completely understood where we wanted to take this album creatively and what it was going to take to bring the third chapter of this trilogy to light. Our actual collective blood, sweat and tears went into its creation.โ
โDie With Meโ follows the release of โIDK" y "Reintegrationโ and is the bandโs first new music since the release of their sophomore albumย Memento Moriย (2016), which hit #1 on Billboard Heatseakers Chartย and spawned five singles: โEternityโ, โAnonymousโ, โAliveย Insideโ, โSorryย Notย Sorryโ, and โRememberย Weย Dieโ. Stay tuned for more details about the bandโs forthcoming third album by following the band on socials.
