QARINAH Releases New Song “Not For Sale”
Portland-based metal duo QARINAH, consisting of Miss Randall (vocals/drums) and Waldemar Sorychta (guitar), released a new song “Not For Sale” on August 23, 2024.
The song is the third single off of their upcoming debut EP “Transcendent”, which is set to be released on September 13, 2024.
In addition, the song will appear on their upcoming debut album, which is expected to be released later this year.
The track was written by Julieta Randall and Waldemar Sorychta. Produced by QARINAH.
The band lead singer Miss Randall said of the song, “This song can be interpreted in many ways, the most obvious being what I lived through as a young musician lady in Hollywood, a place where one is surrounded by music industry men who want to mold you to their will. But in general, this song goes out to those who are like me, who don't quite fit the mold but still, do what they do best without selling out. It brings back my younger Discordian self who wanted to tear everything down, be off the grid, and break up with what society and culture imposed on me.”- Waldemar Sorychta added. “The song is based on an old riff idea with new heavy parts that were creatively put together just as we prepared this EP and the written full-length. Of course, the song title is out of irony (we sure aim to sell it!).”

Waldemar Sorychta and Miss Randall met at Graspop in the late 2000s, and their friendship flourished into a collaboration on Rusty Eye's Possessor album, and finally, leading to the series of visits to Germany and Finland since late 2022 to produce and record songs as the duo.
QARINAH's name story pays tribute to Waldemar's productions with Samael, Therion, or The Gathering, and while it's mystical in nature as it comes from the feared story of an orgone energy female succubus/demon of Middle Eastern tradition. - source : Apple Music
