PRESS RELEASE

Heavy Music for Soundtracks and Sync

RMSHN is an independent instrumental heavy music project by composer, producer, and performer Yuri Romashin, based in Connecticut, USA.

Built around heavy guitars, powerful grooves, electronic textures, and cinematic structures, RMSHN creates music that works both as standalone listening and as a soundtrack for visual media.

The project explores the space between instrumental metal, electronic music, and cinematic sound design. Tracks can move from aggressive riff-driven sections and relentless grooves to atmospheric passages, unusual textures, and melodic themes — creating music with a strong sense of motion and visual potential.

No vocals. No fixed genre formula. Just heavy music built to move.

RMSHN draws from metal while freely incorporating electronic elements and influences from different musical traditions. Some tracks focus on direct physical energy; others build longer-form arrangements around contrasting sections, recurring motifs, and cinematic transitions.

This approach makes RMSHN particularly suited to film, television, games, trailers, sports, advertising, and other visual media, while retaining enough identity to stand on its own as recorded music.

The project is developed as a complete creative property, with music, visual identity, artwork, and concepts designed to work together.

Current Focus

RMSHN is looking to connect with music industry partners, distributors, labels, sync agencies, music supervisors, and other professionals interested in distinctive instrumental heavy music and opportunities for licensing, distribution, and long-term collaboration.

About Yuri Romashin

Yuri Romashin is a composer, producer, performer, and music industry professional whose experience spans artist management, promotion, music production, live events, media production, and international music networking.

From 2017 to 2020, Yuri was the bassist, manager, and promoter of Alice Goes To Motherland, an independent band based in Moscow, Russia. During his time with the project, he helped grow the band's audience approximately tenfold, produced three studio music videos and several live videos, and organized and managed a nine-show national tour across Russia.

As part of the band's international development, Yuri built relationships with music professionals at international showcase festivals including Waves Vienna 2019 and MENT Ljubljana 2020. These connections led to the band being selected for a showcase at Canadian Music Week 2020, which was ultimately cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Yuri also secured an extended cooperation agreement with ONErpm's Eastern Europe office for Alice Goes To Motherland, expanding the band's relationship with the international music distribution and artist services company. Under this partnership, one of the band's singles went on to surpass 1.3 million streams.

Yuri also worked as a Creative Producer for MTV Russia, where he developed and produced content for five program series, created a special New Year's program, and conducted interviews with established artists including the Latvian band Brainstorm.

His background combines the creative and business sides of music: writing and performing music, producing visual content, developing artists, building audiences, organizing live shows, negotiating industry partnerships, and establishing relationships across the international music industry.

RMSHN brings this experience into a new, independent project focused on heavy instrumental music with a natural connection to visual media and sync.

Heavy music can be more than a genre — it can be a soundtrack.

HDBNGR

single, 14 July 2022

HDBNGR is all gas, no brakes.

Heavy riffs lock into pulse-like rhythms, pushing the track forward with the stubborn force of a runaway engine. There's no hidden meaning to decode, no message buried between the lines — just energy, movement, and enough groove to keep the wheels spinning.

Think high-speed rides through dust, fire, and steel.
A headbanger by name and by nature.

BGNNNG

single, 14 January 2024

BGNNNG takes its name from beginning — a nod to the track’s origins. It grew from a collection of riffs that felt like an endless intro, constantly building tension without ever fully arriving. For a long time, the missing piece was a chorus strong enough to unlock the song’s direction.

The guitars keep pushing forward with a sense of anticipation, creating the feeling that something larger is always just around the corner. When the breakthrough finally arrives, the song opens up without losing its restless energy.

Midway through, BGNNNG takes an unexpected turn. A burst of acidic electronic textures cuts through the arrangement like a system malfunction — abrupt, disruptive, and intentionally out of place. Rather than supporting the atmosphere, the electronics act as a rupture in the track’s logic, breaking the flow before gradually transforming and leading the music back into its metallic core.

The result is a song about arrival after a long build-up: a beginning that takes its time to reveal itself, but hits harder because of the journey.

NTSTNR

single, 14 August 2024

NTSTNR takes its name from a joke. After being called a stoner despite having little in common with the stereotype, RMSHN turned the phrase into a track title.

Built around driving guitar riffs and synth lines that often take the role of a vocal lead, NTSTNR combines groove-heavy metal with a futuristic edge. Beneath the hooks and momentum sits a subtle space-themed atmosphere, reflected in its expansive electronics and cosmic imagery.

The result is a track that moves between massive riffs, soaring synth melodies, and bursts of high-speed intensity without losing its focus on groove.

RSNG

single, 14 October 2024

RSNG takes its name from the phrase “raise your fist” and channels that idea into one of RMSHN’s most direct and song-oriented compositions.

Built around a steady marching groove, the track favors repetition over complexity. Defined verses, anthemic choruses, and a melodic bridge give RSNG a familiar structure that stands apart from the project’s more arrangement-driven material. Rather than showcasing technical twists and constant variation, it focuses on a single idea and drives it home.

The choruses are powered by punchy electronic drums and a commanding four-on-the-floor pulse, creating a chant-like, rallying feel. In contrast, the bridge shifts into darker territory, trading force for atmosphere through melodic synth lines and a more introspective mood before the track returns to its uplifting refrain.

Among RMSHN’s instrumental releases, RSNG feels closest to a traditional song. Its open arrangement and clearly defined vocal spaces make it a natural candidate for future collaborations, while remaining strong enough to stand on its own.

TDDN

single, 14 March 2025

TDDN takes its name from the sound of its main riff — a simple "ty-dy-dyn" that became the spark for the entire track.

Built around Middle Eastern-inspired melodies, the song blends heavy guitars with synths that echo traditional Eastern instruments. Rather than leaning into atmosphere alone, TDDN keeps its focus on rhythm, combining metal riffs with a steady sample-driven beat that feels closer to dance music than marching percussion.

The arrangement is intentionally straightforward, giving the central melodies room to breathe while leaving space for future collaborations and vocal interpretations.

Energetic, emotional, and undeniably upbeat, TDDN balances the weight of modern metal with the infectious pull of Eastern-flavoured hooks, creating a track that feels equally suited for a live stage, a soundtrack, or a late-night drive.

BND

single, ready for release

BND started with a bend. A single guitar idea built around a sustained pitch bend became the spark for the entire track, even though it eventually stepped aside as new riffs and melodies took over the spotlight.

Fast, upbeat, and unapologetically direct, BND feels less like a traditional metal composition and more like a metal track reimagined by a dance producer. Sharp guitar work collides with synths, electronic textures, and sampled elements, creating a sound that constantly pushes forward without getting lost in complexity.

A simple chorus keeps the track instantly accessible, while a melodic bridge introduces a lead line that practically demands a vocal melody over the top. Everything serves the same purpose: energy, movement, and release. BND is a reminder that heavy music can hit just as hard on the dance floor as it does in front of a stage.A simple chorus keeps the track instantly accessible, while a melodic bridge introduces a lead line that practically demands a vocal melody over the top.

SBVSBLW

single, ready for release

Originally titled NGR (New Groove), the track began as another groove-driven metal piece built around a familiar idea. In the end, there was nothing particularly “new” about the groove — just another variation on something well forgotten. The new title, SBVSBLW (As Above So Below), turned out to describe the track much better.

At its core, SBVSBLW brings together two distinct musical worlds. The first is built around the heavy, direct riffs of the main verse and chorus sections, while the second emerges in an extended bridge shaped by Eastern-inspired melodies and textures. Rather than keeping these elements separate, the track gradually connects them, building from the familiar into something more expansive before accelerating into blast-beat-driven intensity and eventually returning to the main chorus.

A recurring synth melody runs throughout the entire track as a separate layer, almost like a distant transmission cutting through the guitars and rhythm section. Its strange, almost otherworldly character creates a thread connecting the different parts of the composition.

The visual concept follows the same principle. A mandala occupies the upper part of the artwork, while a compass rose anchors the lower half — two symbolic systems representing different directions and traditions. Between them stand two contrasting figures: one upright and dressed in black, the other suspended upside down in white. Together they form a single composition built around symmetry, inversion, and the meeting of opposites.

Despite its expanded instrumental sections and electronic textures, SBVSBLW remains grounded in a clear, riff-driven structure. It is less about inventing a completely new sound than about taking familiar elements, placing them in a different relationship, and seeing what emerges when two worlds are allowed to intersect.
