Protokoll 19 release second single ‘Connect’ from new album
Protokoll 19
Tampa-based electro-industrial act Protokoll 19 released their new single “Connect”. The track is self-released.
Issued digitally, “Connect” is the second single from the band’s forthcoming full-length album “Somewhere Between Purgatory and Hell”, scheduled for release on Danse Macabre Records. The band states that the new track explores mental health from a different perspective than its predecessor, describing it as “a spiritual journey in a dream” and as a conceptual contrast to the previous single “When Will It End”.
Musically Protokoll 19 combine harsh synthesizers, distorted beats, and aggressive vocals. Their lyrics draw on themes of occultism and psychological struggle.
“Connect” is available now on major streaming platforms, including Bandcamp and Spotify.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
