Portland, Oregon, and Germany are the mecca of legendary music scenes for their keen senses of authenticity and unforgettable artists holding no boundaries. One band we must mention is Qarinah. This dynamic duo has Miss Randall (ex-Rusty Eye) based in Portland and Germany based Waldemar Sorychta of (Despair, Enemy of the Sun, and (Grip Inc.,).
Waldemar is an absolute legend in the European metal scene sharing his work with heavy hitters Lacuna Coil, The Gathering, and much more. Miss Randall is not only a drummer, but also a solo artist from Mexico, slaying dragons of metal throughout the world. This project is an eclectic gem collaboration with blends of melodic metal and harmonies with a strong frontwoman commanding attention to those details. Whilst the echoing guitar will whisk you away to never land, listen to those strong lyrics inspiring every artist out there. Miss Randall is throwing it down like nobody’s business. She is here to conquer and and make serious waves. Waldemar’s talent and tenacity is the gift that keeps giving.
Get ready, a four-song EP is being produced in Germany and Finland as we speak, and you can hear the single “Hell or High Water” now on major platforms. Make no mistake, these artists are well seasoned, strategic, and breaking ground for 2024 with a fury.
In this life, we must fight for what we strive for and dare to dream with no apologies. “Hell or High Water” song is a message to the world: never giving up, weathering the storm, and pushing through the brick walls of life with perseverance
