Royal Bliss's new album will mark the next chapter in the ongoing saga of Royal Bliss, as their first major label release under
Capitol Records . "Life In-Between " is scheduled to be released January 13, 2009 as a joint collaboration betweenMerovingian Music andCaroline Records under the exclusive license toCapitol Records . The album's first single, "Save Me", was released July 15, 2008. It is currently available for sale digitally at all major online retailers (iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, etc.). The song impacted radio only one day earlier on the 14th with a total of 11 adds at radio and climbing to 25 within a few days.Merovingian Music "(abrv MRV)" has released two web sites to accompany and promote the new single "Save Me". The first is an interactive [http://media.merovingianmusic.com/advertise/rb/stf.html e-card] which provides to anyone that maybe unfamiliar, an excellent introduction to the band. The second is a media packed [http://media.merovingianmusic.com/royalbliss.html web tools] site for those who want to take action and promote, this site provides to the public a plethora of marketing tools and the necessary knowledge to use them effectively.In October 2008 the band's label released the first video single for the song, "Save Me". To coincide with the videos release, [http://www.thepuppetvideo.com ThePuppetVideo.com] was put in place to view the video and help raise awareness. The video features a protagonist puppet used to explore the band's tormented psyche and shows the devolution and decline of the human condition when all hope is lost. A masked man in stop-motion symbolizes the character in a state of emotional decay and turmoil as he morphs into an actual puppet who is void of feeling, emotion and life itself. Thus symbolizing the fight is over and a lost of all resemblance of former self and has now become completely dehumanized.
