Solemn Pledge, the dynamic European-American rock duo, announces the release of their newest album, No Traveler Returns. Marking their tenth studio project, the album showcases an electrifying exploration of hard rock and heavy metal subgenres, presenting fans with a bold and diverse collection of ten original tracks.
With No Traveler Returns, Solemn Pledge dives deeper into their musical roots, delivering hard-charging tracks defined by stunning lead guitar solos and intricate runs that echo the golden era of classic heavy metal. A thunderous rhythm section powers each song forward, while lead vocalist Maria Genevieve Elia captivates listeners with her signature three-and-a-half-octave range and dramatic, operatic delivery.
“This album is a celebration of everything we love about heavy metal,” says Maria Genevieve Elia. “It’s raw, powerful, and full of emotion. We can’t wait for our fans to experience it.”
Michael Justin Lee, the duo’s songwriter and producer, adds: “With No Traveler Returns, we wanted to push our creative boundaries while honoring the roots of the genre. It’s a journey through heavy metal’s rich landscape.”
Maria’s distinctive vocal timbre and extraordinary range have garnered her collaborations with rock and symphonic rock artists worldwide, while Michael’s expertise as a songwriter and producer has earned him memberships in the Producers Guild of America, the Songwriters Guild of America, and the Society of Composers and Lyricists. Together, they have crafted a body of work that has resonated with audiences globally.
All nine of Solemn Pledge’s previous albums are available on major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music. With No Traveler Returns, the duo continues to solidify their place as innovators and torchbearers of the genre.

Author Camari Knox Releases Debut Poetry Book The Silence of Snow Is So Loudly Deafening
A Stirring Exploration of Trauma, Introspection, and the Unquiet Mind
Author Camari Knox announces the release of her debut poetry collection, The Silence of Snow Is So Loudly Deafening—a hauntingly lyrical examination of identity, psychological trauma, and the relentless pursuit of inner clarity. Self-published and unapologetically raw, this collection is a resonant testament to the quiet chaos that often lives within us.
Crafted over two decades of self-examination, the book offers readers a mirror rather than a map—revealing that perhaps there was never a question needing to be answered in the first place. With intimate, piercing verses, Knox invites readers to walk the blurred lines between silence and noise, truth and repression, reflection and resistance.
“For those who tough love never really worked for. For those who sentimental words of encouragement made them feel uneasy. For those whose only wish is to find someone, something, some words that alleviate every grievance their body has taken on.”
Camari Knox is a self-published author and emerging literary voice with a deep-rooted interest in the complexities of the human experience. Inspired by poets, novelists, and philosophical thinkers, her work balances analytical depth with emotional sensitivity. The Silence of Snow Is So Loudly Deafening draws from her own journey through psychological trauma, offering poetry that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
With this debut, Knox establishes herself as a fresh voice in contemporary poetry—one that doesn’t seek to provide comfort, but rather companionship through the discomfort. Her words do not simply speak; they echo, resonate, and, at times, pierce.
The Silence of Snow Is So Loudly Deafening is now available through Amazon, Good Reads
