Shiroi Karasu - “Insomnia”
LISTEN: Spotify
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
We’re an Italian alt-metal band formed in 2025, blending modern heaviness, cinematic electronics and strong melodic hooks. Our music is shaped by the new wave of heavy bands that made metal feel darker, more immediate and more immersive, but we’re focused on building a sound and identity of our own. We want new listeners to connect with the songs first, then with the atmosphere, visuals and emotional world behind them.
INTERVIEW:
1. “What moment made you realize you wanted to take music seriously?”
We took music seriously when we realized we wanted to build something bigger than just a few songs. we wanted to build something real, with its own sound, identity and direction.
2. “Say, your music blew up tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d do?”
We’d probably celebrate for five minutes, then go back to work and make sure people have a real world to step into.
3. “What’s a song you’ve made that means the most to you—and why?”
Insomnia means the most to us right now because it’s our first release and the first real step into this project. Each song has its own identity, but this one starts the thread that connects everything coming next.
4. “What emotion or mindset do you want people to feel when they hear your music?”
We want people to feel pulled into something intense and real. There’s heaviness in the music, but also emotion, tension and release. More than anything, we want it to feel immersive.
5. “What separates you from every other artist in your lane right now?”
We’re trying to build a real identity, not just release songs.
BONUS. “Say someone just became a fan of you—what 1 song should they listen to first and why?”
They should start with Insomnia, because right now it’s the entry point into our world, and the rest of the story — both musically and visually — is still unfolding.
