The explosive new single Apocalypse Now by Diemislade has officially landed on the Rock Playlist, making waves every few hours with its fierce energy and sonic power. In addition, this hard-hitting anthem has been selected as a Daily ROCK POWERPLAY at 7:30 PM Pacific USA time ensuring it will be featured prominently every day for the next month.
Formed on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, in the vibrant city of Rome, Diemislade is a boundary-pushing musical project that refuses to be confined by genre. Created by visionary artist Raffaele Maggioli—also known as Julian Rada—Diemislade is named through an anagram of his latest muse, underscoring the deeply personal and ever-evolving nature of the project.
Diemislade’s sound is a striking fusion of nu-metal’s raw energy, the catchy hooks of pop, punk’s rebellious edge, the introspective grit of grunge, and the exploratory spirit of alternative rock. This genre-blending style reflects the belief that music should mirror the multifaceted dynamism of life itself.
Every track is written and composed by Maggioli, who also oversaw all aspects of production. To enhance the authenticity of the English lyrics, he collaborated with English-speaking amateur freelance vocalists. Drum tracks were recorded by freelance musicians from Italy and Australia, though some songs feature digital drums to preserve their aggressive and high-energy tone.
Lyrically and thematically, Diemislade draws inspiration from the worlds of Japanese anime, video games, and superhero films. With a mission to connect with listeners worldwide, the project aims to inspire and uplift, with the long-term hope of evolving into a full-time creative endeavor.
Bay Area-based Indie Artist, Celiane the Voice, parlays her business acumen into building a formidable brand—in the booth and in the boardroom.
When the pandemic struck, Celiane the Voice watched her thriving music career come to a screeching halt. Gigs were abruptly cancelled, venues were closed, ticket sales were refunded to the customers, concerts were indefinitely postponed and her career was at a standstill.
For the first time in her entire music career, Celiane did not to know if her career would be able to weather this storm (also known as the Coronavirus crisis). Just like other artist and musicians, she had to face the uncertain reality brought on by a Global pandemic that completely disrupted the entertainment industry. As the months progressed, she was faced with two choices: 1. Throw in the towel or 2. Reinvent herself. She chose the latter.

Eight months since the world as we knew it changed forever, Celiane the Voice made the decision to tap into her business savvy and build a brand that superseded music. She put together a Business Plan and started a company.
Her entertainment company comprises film and TV production, stage productions, creation of her own comic book, video game music, personal transformation courses, “Celiane the Voice” merch, building collaborations and a costume and set design entity.
“I’m an entertainer, but I also have a Business background so I knew at the onset of the pandemic that I would have to pivot if I wanted to save my career. I knew that it was no longer business as usual, so I tapped into my talents and skill set and diversified my brand”, said Celiane.
Celiane the Voice Her decision to reinvent herself has opened up a myriad of new doors for her this year and now that her music career is thriving again—she has her sight set on performing in Vegas one day, which has been a life-long dream of hers.
