Literally translating to “an unwelcome” or “unacceptable” person, PERSONA NON GRATA touches on themes of modern societal disgust and degradation. The band gathered at Tom Hunting's house in the mountains where they produced and recorded Persona Non Grata from three home-built studios. Steve Lagudi was at the helm of engineering while the band enlisted Andy Sneap of Backstage Studios to mix the album. For the third time in the band’s history, they returned to Swedish artist Par Olofsson to create the album artwork.

Society 1 To Be Rejoined By Ex-Drummer Dagon Destroyer On “Exit Through Fear” 20th Anniversary Tour

Shock Rock veterans Society 1 have announced that their former drummer Dagon Destroyer will be rejoining the band for their upcoming “Exit Through Fear” 20th anniversary tour. A large portion of the dates will be on the "Rise Of The Machines" tour with Static-X, Fear Factory, Mushroomhead and DOPE. Additional shows are still being booked.

The band's most successful album, Exit Through Fear, which was
originally released on Earache Records made an impression in 2003 due
to the first music video of the album to feature lead vocalist LORD ZANEperforming body suspension. Drummer Dagon was featured in the video and did a large portion of the subsequent touring.

"I was 19 years old when we filmed our Nothing music video for the
album Exit Through Fear with Zane suspending over my drumset. The
tours afterward were insane. Everything about Society 1 was insane,
especially for a kid. It's surreal that we're joining forces again
after 20 years and that we're out with Fear Factory and Static-X. It's
a dream for me. These two bands are a huge part of my life." said
Dagon

Brantley Gilbert Announces New Album 'So Help Me God' + New Single "Heaven By Then" with Blake Shelton ft. Vince Gill

BRANTLEY GILBERT ANNOUNCES
HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW ALBUM:
SO HELP ME GOD

10-Track Collection Set for Release Thursday, November 10, Including
New Single “Heaven By Then” with Blake Shelton Featuring Vince Gill

Son of the Dirty South Tour Continues Tonight Before the Georgia-Native
Joins Five Finger Death Punch on Co-Headlining Tour

Gilbert Partners with Nine Line Apparel for Exclusive Shirt Design to
Benefit Veterans Through Nine Line Foundation

Multi-Platinum country star Brantley Gilbert is the first to admit he’s meticulous when it comes to writing and releasing new music, tinkering and tweaking things until he feels he’s found the best way to serve the song and the project.

“I’ve always taken a little longer than most artists, especially in this genre, to put an album out and that’s partly to do with me being a perfectionist,” Gilbert prefaces. “But we’ve been looking forward to getting this album out for a long time. I’ve been blessed to sit down with some of the best writers in the country, and I feel like we’ve written some wonderful stuff.”

Armed with a 10-track collection that meets the Georgia-native’s standards, Gilbert announces his long-awaited new album So Help Me God via The Valory Music Co., set for digital release Thursday, November 10. Pre-save the album HERE.

“In the past, my albums were almost direct reflections, direct chapters of my life,” shares Gilbert. “Whatever I’d gone through since I wrote the last record would make its way onto the new album. There’s still some of that with So Help Me God since I’m a co-writer on all the songs – it’s been three years since the last release and a lot of life lived. But I feel like this album is more of a mixtape of great songs.

“We wanted to put songs that sounded good together, but also songs that covered a wide variety of genre influences,” Gilbert elaborates. “There’s a lot of different songwriting styles on the album. We’re super excited about it, and I can’t wait for BG Nation to hear what we’ve been working on.”

With the release of So Help Me God also comes Gilbert’s newest single headed to Country radio on November 14, “Heaven By Then” with Blake Shelton featuring Vince Gill. Co-written with Brock Berryhill, Michael Hardy, Jake Mitchell, Randy Montana, Hunger Phelps and Taylor Phillips, the album opener highlights a way of life that can often feel like it’s disappearing, as the pace of everyday life continues to speed up.

When they pave all the dirt roads
And John Deeres are dinosaurs
When the last back 40 gets sold
And young boys don’t open doors
When you can’t hunt a white tail
And keep what you reel in
Well, I hope I’m in heaven by then

No, I don’t wanna go today but I don’t wanna live
Down here at a place that thinks that that place don’t exist
There comes a day this country’s somewhere country don’t fit in
Hell, I hope I’m in heaven by then

“We were on a writing retreat in Texas that we do every year, and everybody was out on the porch. I don’t remember who threw a word in here or there and who didn’t, so we ended up with a bunch of writers on ‘Heaven By Then,’” Gilbert notes. “And I love songs like that. It came out of a conversation. A guitar ended up in HARDY’s lap, which is usually a good sign that it’s about to turn into something special. I think we all knew that as it was being written. It came to life that night.

“To have Blake Shelton and Vince Gill on the song meant so much to me. Those two brought so much to the table and gave it a voice I didn’t have. We were all in separate places when we recorded, but it was a cool way for everyone to put their spin on it. They just did what felt natural and sonically you hear that,” he concludes.

As the Son Of The Dirty South Tour with “Son Of The Dirty South” collaborator Jelly Roll continues tonight, Gilbert’s co-headlining tour with Five Finger Death Punch kicks off November 9 in Grand Rapids, Michigan and continues through December 17, wrapping in Las Vegas, Nevada. For tickets and more information, visit BrantleyGilbert.com.

As a longtime supporter and advocate for service men and women, Gilbert continues championing veterans through his latest partnership with Nine Line Apparel for an exclusive shirt design, which will benefit Nine Line Foundation.

Nine Line Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to meeting the financial and specialized needs of severely injured soldiers and their families. In combat, Nine Line is an emergency medevac request and is often the difference between life and death for the most severely wounded soldiers. Since 2013, Nine Line Foundation’s mission has been to serve in a similar manner, offering a lifeline once wounded veterans return stateside.

The exclusive design can be purchased on a t-shirt for $25.99, long sleeve for $29.99 or hoodie for $42.99. For more information, visit NineLineApparel.com.

About Brantley Gilbert
With back-to-back Platinum albums and a grassroots following millions strong, Brantley Gilbert’s music has been shared, covered and adopted as the soundtrack to Saturday night and Sunday morning by audiences around the world. The Georgia native who started as the defiant life-of-the-party can still go ‘til sunrise, but he’s also emerged as something far greater: the leader of a massive tribe of hard-working, fun-loving believers for whom electric guitar-shredding, rapping, and twang can go hand-in-hand-in-hand. They call themselves the BG Nation, and when the BG Nation watches Gilbert on a stage, they don’t just see a star. They see themselves. Seven No. 1 hits punctuate his career: “Country Must be Country Wide,” “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do,” CMA Awards Song of the Year nominee “Dirt Road Anthem,” “My Kinda Party,” RIAA 5x Platinum-certified “Bottoms Up,” “One Hell of an Amen” and collaboration with Lindsay Ell “What Happens In A Small Town.” Gilbert’s landmark record Just As I Am clinched the 2014 American Music Award for Favorite Country Album. Earning praise from the New York Times, NPR, American Songwriter, and more, Gilbert has mined a rich vein of conflict between the party and the pew on all of his albums. Instead of toiling in limbo, unable to enjoy good times for fear of Judgment Day, Gilbert fully lives––rowdy friend, man of faith, devoted husband, smitten new father––just as he is. His upcoming album So Help Me God is set for November 10 via The Valory Music Co. and features his forthcoming single “Heaven By Then” with Blake Shelton featuring Vince Gill. Gilbert will embark on a co-headlining tour with Five Finger Death Punch November 9 for their 22-date U.S. run that wraps December 17.

Anti-Flag Share "NVREVR" Feat. Stacey Dee of Bad Cop/Bad Cop

ANTI-FLAG SHARE "NVREVR"

FEAT. STACEY DEE OF BAD COP/BAD COP 

NEW ALBUM 'LIES THEY TELL OUR CHILDREN'

OUT JANUARY 6 VIA SPINEFARM

Incendiary Pittsburgh punk rockers ANTI-FLAG will release their 13th album 'Lies They Tell Our Children' on January 6 via Spinefarm.

Pre-order it here.

For this record, the band recruited several high profile and like-minded artists to feature on the songs and on "NVREVR", they've partnered with Bad Cop/Bad Cop's Stacey Dee.

Watch the video, which was filmed in Pittsburgh by Josh Massie and directed and

"Living in a society that values corporate profits above all else is a grind," the band proclaims. "Making the choice to go against the grain in such a world is even harder, especially in a culture that has been brainwashed to worship capitalism as a savior and cure-all. Those who strive to create alternatives to capitalism for the common good garner little attention and quite often find their efforts met with open hostility. This song is dedicated to those who recognize that 'the free market' is incapable of solving many of the ills that plague our society and do everything in their power to put people and the planet before corporate profits."

A-F continue, "Stacey Dee of Bad Cop/Bad Cop is one of those unsung heroes. That fact inspired us to ask her to appear on this song. In addition to being an incredibly talented performer, she dedicates countless hours to the organization she co-founded, The Sidewalk Project, which works to empower houseless communities around the world."

New York City has always served as a cultural epicenter for musical innovation. Even more so than incubating genres in their infancy such as hardcore and even glam metal, for which bands like Twisted Sister and KISS long set the stage before the Sunset Strip took the reigns, the empire state has a storied and unique history of taking genres whose roots lie elsewhere and making them its own; whether it be Anthrax reinventing Bay Area thrash, Suffocation and Immolation planting their flag as death metal purveyors at a time when it was a primary export of Florida, or bands like Blondie and the Ramones rivaling the British punk scene, the city has always been at the forefront of musical excellence. And when it comes to New York’s answer to black metal, Black Anvil have not only been a driving force for USBM, but have taken the black metal genre as a whole and made it entirely their own. Now, with full-length number five, the band has once again leveled up their game, presenting a “regenesis” of black metal.

Here you have 12 tracks of unrelenting yet thought provoking evil, sure to have you take a second & thoroughly re-examined view of what you thought black metal was supposed to be. “This is a more stripped down and aggressive song writing approach. Having time to digest ‘As Was,’ to understand where we were then versus where we are now was key. We always focus inward with our writing, never wanting to repeat ourselves, while also not losing our identity in a stretch to sound different,” explains Black Anvil bassist/vocalist P.

Challenging the norm has always been a core part of Black Anvil’s DNA since their formation in 2007. Upon the release of their debut full-length, Time Insults the Mind, the band quickly garnered the attention of Relapse Records and were presented with a deal. When it came to album number two, the band diverged from the typical approach of their contemporaries and sought an unlikely counterpart to render their vision, tapping engineer “General” George Fullan (The Rolling Stones, Dream Theater) at Mark “The Animal” Mendoza’s (Twisted Sister) Diamond Drop Studio on Long Island, NY. Released in September 2010, sophomore offering Triumvirate received much critical acclaim, notably being revered as an "all-around monster metal album."

Four years after its release, Triumvirate was followed by Hail Death, a 70-minute journey of intensity that further established Black Anvil as a modern black metal powerhouse. The album was met with praise by publications including Noisey, Pitchfork, Stereogum, Metal Injection, and many more. With the album’s success, the band’s profile rose as they were tapped to participate in numerous prominent tours with black metal legends such as Mayhem, Watain, Urfaust, Marduk as well as dates with Aura Noir, Nachtmystium, Immortal, Eyehategod, Cannibal Corpse, etc. Additionally, the band has appeared at various prestigious festivals including the Scion Rock Fest, Beyond The Gates in Bergen, Norway and the renowned Roadburn Festival in The Netherlands.

In 2017, Black Anvil dropped their fourth studio-album, As Was. Atmospheric and melodic without relenting on any of the ferocity that the collective has always been known for, As Was seamlessly weaves through eight monumental passages of extreme metal art, more diverse, complex, and thought-provoking than anything they've done before. The record proved itself to be a stellar representation of modern black metal and of Black Anvil’s continuous progression and songcraft.

Now, nearly six years after As Was made its mark, Black Anvil is returning with its aptly titled fifth full-length, Regenesis. With a new record label, a new album, and a newfound exploration of dark and black metal, Regenesisrepresents a new dawn for the New York City collective. “The concept is renewal, as well as the process/journey to get here outgrowing our past,” explains P. “Black Anvil has always been a departure from our past, a vehicle for us to grow as individuals, like a snake constantly shedding its skin. We don’t look  back, but never forget.”

Make no mistake, Regenesis is not a departure from Black Anvil’s identity, but rather serves as the latest progression in the band’s ever-evolving sound. The record takes what As Was did best and does it even better. The unrelenting and polished aggression hangs in the balance above dark melodic passages, presenting a dynamic soundscape that serves as the band’s most devastating and existential offering to date. As it’s evident that the band pulls inspiration from unlikely corners, they defy all genre standards and make one thing clear - this isn’t just black metal, this is NYBM.

New Jersey's ELK CITY releases 'Above The Water' LP featuring members of Versus, Luna and Psychedelic Furs side-project Feed

"Elk City’s cool and elegant sound draws on 1980s “dream pop” and bits of 1960s folk-rock" ~ The New York Times

"This music is sophisticated – vivacious, harmonious and memorable due to many factors, not least of all is the remarkable vocal timbre and convincing delivery of vocalist Renée LoBue, recalling Eddie Brickell at times and Jefferson Airplane’s Grace Slick at others" ~ Music-News.com

"A formidable offering... it comes as no surprise Elk City sounds so animated, brazen and effervescent. LoBue’s commanding vocals are the icing on the cake, making for a highly infectious track" ~ The Spill Magazine

"White-hot, catchy and propels the listener ahead in forward motion... with a vocal timbre somewhere in the midst of Chrissie Hynde, Blondie and Patti Smith" ~ The Record Stache


Art pop band Elk City has released their new album 'Above the Water'. A new chapter in the Montclair, New Jersey band’s evolutionary story, this album is vibrant, raw-edged and bold, showcasing a new guitar-rich lineup featuring members of Versus, Luna and the Psychedelic Furs side-project Feed.

The ‘Above the Water’ LP is being released via the newly-launched Magic Door Record Label, founded by Guided by Voices drummer Kevin March with Ketchem and LoBue with a simple mission to release music created by the rich community of artists who surround them.

Revolving around its founders, artist/ vocalist Renée LoBue and producer/drummer Ray Ketchem, the band is rounded out by guitarists Sean Eden (Luna) and Chris Robertson (Feed, Punch Havana) and bass guitarist Richard Baluyut (Versus).

Since their formation in 1999, Elk City has released 5 albums, 3 EPs and numerous singles. Pursuing a glimmering rock thread, Elk City makes potent atmospheric pop with psychedelic undertones and overtones.

Revealing the band’s North Jersey roots and lineage with The Feelies, Yo La Tengo (with whom they share a former label, Bar/None) and Luna (with whom they share a guitarist), this album asks the old New Jersey question, but this time with elegance and elocution - Have you got a problem with that?

‘Above the Water’ was recorded, mixed and mastered at Ketchem’s Magic Door Recording, opened in 2017 as an acoustically lush refuge for musical expression and experimentation. Ketchem, whose production credits include Guided By Voices, Luna and Gramercy Arms, partnered with legendary studio designer George Augspurger to transform a cavernous warehouse into a freeform studio where vintage microphones, modern studio gear, and bespoke sound tuning elevate and inspire.

Earlier, Elk City released the single 'That Someone', which explores the dual nature of self and other, excitement and dismay and the more laid-back and philosophical 'Your Time Doesn't Exist'.

The 'Above The Water' album is now available through all fine digital outlets, including Apple Music, Tidal, Qobuz and Spotify, as well as Bandcamp.

NYC-French postpunk duo Frenchy and the Punk present seventh full-length album 'Zen Ghost'

"Explosive, subdued, confrontational, soothing, spikey, and accessible, an incredible blend of alt-rock shade and alt-folk light" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

"Vibrant and danceable. Who says dark can’t also be fun? Zen Ghost, which may be among the year’s best albums to date, is a highly recommended listen" ~ The Spill Magazine

"Penetrating psych-soaked post-punk... Brimming with their signature cinematic drama and that unforgettable voice" ~ Global Texan Chronicles

"Bombastic... a happy medium between the sonic atmosphere and thoughtful melancholy of post-punk music and the unmistakable drama of cabaret... as beautifully manic as some of the finest artists on America's early punk' scene" ~ Amplify Music Magazine

"An inspiriting slice of post punk hued, new wave nurtured rock ‘n’ roll... under the skin and hungrily stirring the imagination in a flash" ~ Ringmaster Review

NYC-based postpunk duo Frenchy and the Punk present their new 'Zen Ghost'album. Their seventh long-player record, released via the EA Recordings, follows the high energy lead track 'Mon Souvenir' and Siouxsie-esque single 'Come In and Play'.

Dark times make for dark songs. On 'Zen Ghost', the duo's shadowy sound takes an even darker turn. An inward spin, into the pair’s previously unexplored personal planes and interpretations of the insanity of our increasingly tumultuous age. But despite its more pronounced moodiness, like the rest of the band’s oeuvre, 'Zen Ghost' offers plenty of opportunities to dance in the darkness.

Frenchy and the Punk is vocalist, percussionist and lyricist Samantha Stephensonand guitarist-composer Scott Helland, who was co-founder and bassist of Outpatients and also Deep Wound (along with Dinosaur Jr. founders J Mascisand Lou Barlow). Influenced by The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Blondie, Concrete Blonde and The B52’s, the duo thrive in their trademark blend of post-punk and dark folk music.

"We started writing Zen Ghost at the end of 2020 and have a few tracks that were written as recently as Spring 2022. It highlights the darker tones of what we do and is influenced by the environment in which we all live in at the moment," says Samantha Stephens.

"The core theme to the album is ‘mind phantoms,’ the ghosts of our past that reside in our minds and can influence our present. The theme of breaking the chains of life choices that don’t align with one’s true authentic self has been rampant in the lyrics throughout the years. This record delves into the remnants of the voices and experiences that can still haunt us. This is the album we've always wanted to make."

Tapped as one of the Top 25 duos in the US by Yahoo! Music, the freewheeling pair has released numerous recordings, including the acclaimed albums 'Happy Madness' (2010), 'Hey Hey Cabaret' (2012), 'Elephant Uproar' (2013), 'Cartwheels' (2014), 'Bonjour Batfrog' (2014), and 'Hooray Beret' (2019).

French-born, but raised in the UK and USA, Stephenson’s study of piano and dance ignited her eventual rejection of corporate conformity and fueled a quest to lead a truly autonomous life through art and music. A son of jazz-loving teachers, Helland grew up in Western Massachusetts and was a vital player on the region’s fertile early hardcore punk scene.

Helland and Stephenson met in NYC in 1998, when Stephenson spontaneously jumped on stage to accompany Helland during his solo guitar performance. The artistic union was immediate, powerful and undeniable. The two began to tour with fevered zeal, turning heads with their striking aesthetic, steadily building fervent fans on the mystical-folk/steampunk festival, coffeehouse, convention, and club circuits with their boisterous, revival-like live shows.

Over the years, they've performed live with Dead Can Dance's Peter Ulrich and Dresden Dolls' Brian Viglione, and opened for Thomas Dolby, Dinosaur Jr., The World Inferno Friendship Society, Rasputina, Cruxshadows, Hurray For The Riff Raff and The Young Dubliners.

As of October 28, the 'Zen Ghost' LP can be found across fine digital outlets, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp. It is also available on CD via the band's website.

Opry NextStage Artist Nate Smith's Exclusive Performance of Chart-Topping Hit "Whiskey On You"

Last month, the Grand Ole Opry announced the final member of the NextStage Class of 2022, Arista Nashville/Sony Music Nashville artist, Nate Smith. His newest single “Whiskey On You” is currently Top 15 and climbing on the country radio charts and has sat in the Top 20 on Billboard’s well sought-after Hot Country Songs chart over the past month. Watch Smith’s exclusive 60 second NextStage acoustic performance of “Whiskey On You” below.

Having lost everything in the 2018 California Camp Fire, and making his way back to Nashville, Smith has truly risen from the ashes and has carved his own path in the country music genre. The artist recounts his inspiring Grand Ole Opry debut story in this exclusive NextStage interview HERE.

Smith will return to the Grand Ole Opry to make his NextStage artist debut today, Tuesday, Nov. 1. Buy tickets HERE. Smith will also take the stage for Opry NextStage Live In Concert, presented by Geico, alongside other 2022 NextStage artists BRELAND, Restless Road, Elvie Shane and Conner Smith, with special performances by NextStage alumnae Hailey Whitters and Priscilla Block, who will host the event.

About Nate Smith
Featuring a mix of gritty backwoods soul, rock ‘n’ roll swagger and velvet-thunder vocals, Nate Smith is Sony Music Nashville’s latest signing whose personal journey inspired him to be a beacon of country-music hope, an inspirational mission he puts front-and-center. A California native, former worship leader, and lifelong music lover, Smith approaches that mission with a background as eclectic as it gets. Learning guitar at 13, Garth Brooks, Elvis Presley and Bob Seger were among those informing his powerful, fire-from-within vocals, while Michael Jackson made him crave the spotlight and Nirvana gave his sound a jagged edge. He first chased his neon dreams to Nashville in his early 20s – but it didn’t stick. The disheartened Smith returned home and thought he was “100-percent done” with his artistic journey…until a crucible of change burned away the past.

In 2018, Smith lost everything he owned in the devastating Camp Fire which tore through Paradise, California, now known as the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in the state’s history. Although his family was safe, he struggled to cope and turned back to music, hoping that it would help comfort himself and others. Help it did, inspiring a month-long road trip across the U.S. to Music City, writing music and playing dive bars along the way. Soon after his arrival to Nashville, Nate released his biggest song to date, “Wildfire,” and landed a publishing deal with Sony ATV. Since then, he’s released new music including “Sleeve” and “Under My Skin,” which has amassed over 60 million on-demand streams to date. The singer was named a Spotify Hot Country Artist to Watch for 2021 – an accurate prediction as he rounded out the year with a record deal and two brand new songs: “Raised Up” and the viral TikTok hit “I Don’t Wanna Go To Heaven.” The powerhouse vocalist is now making waves with his latest release, "Whiskey On You," which is currently climbing the country radio charts. Nate is managed by Kevin “Chief” Zaruk and Simon Tikhman with The Core Entertainment.

The track is a fierce and confrontational cut from their new album Magno Interitus that was released on October 21st via Nuclear Blast Records.

Singer Andreas Bjulver states:
"We live in a world were people are forced to live in absolutely poverty and misery, starving to death and dying in the streets, while the planet is dying, because of a small number of people in the absolute tops greed. Like Vultures calls out these people, to let them know that we see them and they'll get what's coming to them. We will be heading out on the Never Say Die tour in a few days from now and this video is compiled by a bunch of the footage from last years edition of that tour. We can't wait to get back out on the road for this years edition of the tour."

Watch the video for ‘Like Vultures’ below.

Magno Interitus is available as Digipack [limited edition], Black Single LP, Crystal Clear with Gold + Black Splatter Single LP [limited to 500 units, Mailorder + Wholesale exclusive], Crystal Clear with Red + Black Splatter Single LP [limited to 500 units, USA exclusive], Gold + Black Marble Single LP [limited to 300 units, bandshop exclusives] and on all streaming platforms.

Recently, CABAL announced an additional EU tour supporting DYING FETUS for February 2023 - find all tour dates below!

CABAL is one of the most brutal and promising heavy acts hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark. The band aims to create a visceral and doom-laden atmosphere throughout both their music and visual expression. The production is crystal clear, whilst the songwriting draws inspiration from everything from black and death metal to djent and hardcore.
Since the release of their debut album "Mark of Rot" in 2018, the young band has managed to make a name for themselves in both Denmark and the rest of the world by playing renowned festivals like Copenhell, Roskilde Festival, Euroblast Festival and Complexity Fest as well as touring in Europe, Japan and North America.
CABAL released the sophomore album "Drag Me Down" in April 2020 - a dark descent into a personal hell brought to life by crushing instrumentals, an oppressive atmosphere and dark personal lyrics delivered with relentless intensity, while still leaving room for experimentation and expansion of CABAL’s signature sound. Add to this guest appearances from metal titans TRIVIUM's Matt Heafy, rising metalcore stars POLARIS’ Jamie Hails and Denmark’s Blackgaze darlings MØL’s Kim Song Sternkopf and there is no doubt that CABAL is a band with friends in every corner of the metal scene.

Andreas Bjulver Paarup – Vocals
Christian Hammer Mattesen - Guitars
Chris Kreutzfeldt - Guitars
Lui Broch Larsen - Guitars
Dennis Hursid - Bass

Industrial Juggernauts Fresh Off Appearances

With NIN In Cleveland & Louder Than Life Festival

To Offer Set List of Classic Hits & New Tracks From

Latest Album Moral Hygiene

Ministry has one more surprise planned for fans this year, announcing the act’s first-ever livestream to be hosted on streaming platform HITKOR. Featuring the full band and possible special guests, the show will take place November 20 at 3 pm PT/5 pm CT/6 pm ET/10 pm GMT and will feature classic hits from the band’s 40-year history as well as new tracks from the latest album, Moral Hygiene, out now on Nuclear Blast Records.

The special streaming event will be available in more than 30 countries and was planned with European Ministry fans in mind after the band had to regrettably cancel a multi-country tour this fall due to unforeseen circumstances.

Frontman and creator of Ministry Al Jourgensen says, “We never intended for Cleveland with NIN to be our last show this year. Due to circumstances beyond our control we had to cancel Europe but we didn’t want to end 2022 without one last show, and this will be one for the books.”

Tickets are on sale now and available only at HITKOR.com. LIVE tickets are

$17.99 (to both stream live and watch on demand). ALL ACCESS passes are $19.99 and include the stream plus bonus, behind-the-scenes content prior to the main show, as well as an exclusive interview with Ministry.

Purchase tickets at: https://www.hitkor.com/shows/ministry-industrial-strength

Ministry is fresh off the road, appearing with Nine Inch Nails and Nitzer Ebb for a once-in-a-lifetime show in Cleveland as well as Louder Than Life festival in September. In April, the industrial stalwarts wrapped up the much-anticipated Industrial Strength Tour that celebrated the 30th anniversary of landmark album The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste, receiving some of the best reviews of their career.

“The Industrial Strength Tour … was nothing less than extraordinary, complete with an ode to their early tours” –Outburn

“It’s shows like this that restore faith in unadulterated music” —The Vinyl District

“Out of all the incarnations of Ministry throughout the years, this could be the tightest unit musically in the band’s illustrious career” —Splice Magazine

“This was a show as unique as its frontman, shrugging off many conventions in favor of a performance that truly fit Ministry’s legacy. …The hunger for this tour was evident, and made this unforgettable headlining set even stronger” —Bravewords

“As someone who’s seen Ministry many, many times in his life, I’ll say this show was different. The classic tracks had a renewed feel and sound and worked really well. From the audience reaction, this was a good combination” —In The Loop

“Ending with new material, it was clear the band hasn't lost its touch. The chugging, siren-sounding guitars, machinelike drumbeats, electronic noises and Jourgensen's raspy talk-box vocals seemed to embody the state of the world today as accurately as they did during the ’90s” —San Antonio Current

“These guys aren’t going anywhere, and the music world’s a better place because of it” —Glide Magazine

In addition to creator and founder Al Jourgensen, Ministry’s full band will appear in the livestream show, including drummer Roy Mayorga (Stone Sour, Soulfly, Nausea), guitarists Cesar Soto (Man The Mute) and Monte Pittman (Madonna, Prong), bassist Paul D’Amour (Tool, Feersum Ennjin), and keyboardist John Bechdel (Killing Joke, Fear Factory).

As well as classic hits, some of the night’s set list will include material from Moral Hygiene, Ministry’s 15th studio album that features some of the project’s strongest and most inspired material to date. It’s the creative masterwork of founder and creator Jourgensen who spent the pandemic pause ruminating on the new world we as a society have found ourselves in – while pondering just what we are going to do about it.

The 10 tracks are a societal manifesto and plea for civilization to get back to a set of standards that lives up to and embraces our humanity. Previous singles have included "Alert Level" (sounding the alarm on the state society is in), "Good Trouble" (a rallying cry to fight for human rights in homage to Civil Rights leader John Lewis), “Disinformation” (the dangers of consuming mass media without critical thinking) and "Search And Destroy" (the unique take on The Stooges classic). The latter features guitar virtuoso Billy Morrison (Billy Idol/Royal Machines) who is also heavily featured on a number of songs on the album.

Moral Hygiene is available now through Nuclear Blast Records in CD, vinyl and digital download formats at the following links:

ABOUT MINISTRY

Born in 1981 in Chicago, Ministry has been the lifetime passion project of founder Al Jourgensen, considered to be the pioneer of industrial music. In its early days, Ministry was identifiable by its heavy synth-pop material in line with the new sounds and technology that were being developed in the ‘80s. Ministry’s output began with four 12” singles on Wax Trax! Records in 1981 before the first LP With Sympathy in 1983 via Arista Records. As time progressed however, so did Ministry, quickly developing a harsher, and more stylized sound that the band soon became infamous for on seminal albums Twitch (1986), The Land of Rape and Honey (1988), and The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste (1989). With the release of Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and The Way to Suck Eggs (1992), Ministry hit an all-time high in the mainstream musical realm and received its first Grammy nomination. In total, Ministry has been nominated for a Grammy award six times. Eight more albums would follow before an indefinite break in 2013, only to be unearthed again in 2018 with AmeriKKKant, continuing to reflect Jourgensen’s views on the frightening state of society and politics. The band’s latest effort, Moral Hygiene, came out October 1, 2021 on Nuclear Blast Records, ahead of upcoming tours planned for 2022.

That’s from a song I wrote called ‘I’ll Always Remember You.’ It’s a true statement,” Strait shared exclusively with Billboard of the initial announcement. “When we talked about doing these six shows next year with Chris, it was a no brainer for me.

He Is Legend Share "HONEY FROM THE HIVE" + "SOUR" — WATCH + LISTEN🍯

BAND DROPS NEW SONG "SOUR" - LISTEN

NEW ALBUM 'ENDLESS HALLWAY' ARRIVES NOVEMBER 11

VIA SPINEFARM

HE IS LEGEND — Schuylar Croom [vocals], Adam Tanbouz [lead guitar], Matty Williams [bass], and Jesse Shelley [drums] — have shared another double single, featuring the new songs "HONEY FROM THE HIVE" and "SOUR".

The tracks appear on the band's recently announced seventh album, 'ENDLESS HALLWAY', out November 11 via Spinefarm.  Pre-order it here. 

Watch the video for "HONEY FROM THE HIVE" below.

Listen to "SOUR" HERE

"'HONEY FROM THE HIVE' continues to showcase the onslaught of sonic power we have created on 'ENDLESS HALLWAY'. It's a tune that feels familiar and new at the same time, with more twists and turns than a Stephen King book. As for "SOUR", it's probably one of the more palatable tunes from the 'HALLWAY', yet it still has that arena rock, rallying cry sound that we always push ourselves to deliver."

HIL also previously shared the one-two punch of a double single with "THE PROWLER"(HERE) and "LIFELESS LEMONADE" (HERE).

This album is a testament to our band's endurance," the band says. "It is easily our most aggressive album to date, born and bred from the odd shift in the world that affected everyone. We have always used our music as an outlet, and no better time than when the world felt so much like an 'ENDLESS HALLWAY'."

He Is Legend will embark on the "History of Middle Earth Tour" with Valient Thorr next month. All dates are below.

HE IS LEGEND ON TOUR:

11/11 — Wilmington, NC — Reggies

11/12 — Raleigh, NC — Transfer CO

ABOUT HE IS LEGEND:

He Is Legend's catalog spans 'I Am Hollywood', 'Suck Out the Poison', 'It Hates You','Heavy Fruit', and 'Few'. However, it would be 2019’s 'White Bat' that elevated them to another level altogether. Revolver highlighted it as "rollicking", while Metal Injectionawarded it a rating of "9/10" and christened them "legends, indeed". Riff Magazine hailed them as "one of metal's best-kept secrets", and Heavy Blog Is Heavy applauded 'White Bat' as "easily the band's best album in a decade, but it even takes a run at being the strongest collection of their career." Plus, it generated nearly 10 million-plus total streams. 

For 'ENDLESS HALLWAY', the band wrote in their rehearsal space in Wilmington, NC. They recorded drums outside of Knoxville before cutting guitars with Al Jacob at Warrior Sound in Chapel Hill, NC. Vocals would be a different story as Croom endured one of the most trying seasons of his life.

"We had to push the vocal recording, because my stomach was failing due to my diabetes," he shares. "It was so bad I couldn't perform. It took a while to get back to some semblance of normal. Eventually, I hopped in the car and drove 10 hours to Nashville to record at Mitch Marlow's place. I'm a different person now. The universe throws those things at you to make you stronger. That's personal growth."

Randy Houser Releases "Country Round Here Tonight" Ahead of Forthcoming Album 'Note To Self' set for 11/11

RANDY HOUSER READIES FANS FOR FORTHCOMING ALBUM WITH
“COUNTRY ROUND HERE TONIGHT”

Produced by Houser and Blake Chancey, Note To Self is Set for Release
Friday, November 11; Pre-Order and Pre-Save HERE

Title Track Continues Climbing the Charts at Country Radio

With his sixth studio album Note To Self set for November 11 via Magnolia Music Group, the Billboard lauded “golden-voiced Mississippi native” Randy Houser releases “Country Round Here Tonight.” Listen to the song below and pre-order/pre-save Note To Self HERE.

True to its name, “Country Round Here Tonight” is a steel guitar and fiddle-laced track written by Houser with Brice Long and Jeff Hyde, reminiscent of the classic country hits of the 90s’ and creates a feeling of nostalgia as Houser croons about a small-town spot where everyone goes to unwind and spend their paycheck:

There’s a backed up line of four wheel drives
Filling up the parking lot
This little bar they call a hole in the wall
Is everybody’s favorite spot
There’s a saw dust floor waiting on the door
To swing wide open, let us all inside
Paycheck cash is gonna go fast
‘Bout to get country round here tonight

For all them boys in the fields making dollar bills
Stacking that hay up high
All them girls in the sand working on their tans
Down by the riverside
Getting through the day, hell, they just can’t wait
To congregate round a cold beer sign
Tie one on to a jukebox song
‘Bout to get country round here tonight

Ahead of the release of Note To Self, Houser has shared multiple tracks, with Whiskey Riff observing, “It’s easy to see that his whole album is full of deep reflection from Houser throughout his life. This is gonna be a good.”

Currently Top 40 and climbing the charts at Country radio, “Note To Self,” Houser’s first taste of new music since 2019’s critically-acclaimed Magnolia, marked his “powerful return” with MusicRow boasting the Mississippi-native “remains one of country music’s very finest vocalists. His return is most welcome, especially with such a strong song of regretful hindsight. His extraordinary voice is absolutely fierce as this hair-raising pile driver reaches its climax.”

“Rub A Little Dirt On It” delivers some much-needed wisdom that’s often forgotten in our fast-paced world – that difficult times are only temporary, sometimes alleviated by turning to places of beauty and tranquility, with Country Now sharing the song “acts as a reminder that with a little help from those places of stability, the tough days start to feel more insignificant over time.”

“Workin’ Man” illuminates the tenacity and persistence of America’s blue-collar workers among the struggles they face day-to-day to support themselves and their families, with Billboard praising, “Houser yields his enviable vocals with a rough-hewn delivery that lends grit to this radio-friendly track,” while MusicRow calls it a “rousing blue-collar anthem” that Houser sings with “a barn-burner baritone that dips and growls in all the right places.”

Album opener “Still That Cowboy” was written by Houser, Matt Rogers and Josh Hoge as an ode to his wife Tatiana as the couple prepares for their second child together, with CMT.com sharing, “Houser has never been afraid to sing country music, and ‘Still That Cowboy’ spotlights the genre’s tenets as much as anything Houser has ever released. His baritone rings against the backdrop of the pedal steel guitar as he delivers the song written for his wife.”

With multiple sold-out shows so far in 2022, including an at-capacity stop at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, Houser wrapped his co-headlining tour with longtime friend Jamey Johnson in April and is currently on the road with Cody Johnson. For dates, tickets and additional information, visit RandyHouser.com.

Along with preparing new music and a relentless touring schedule, Houser landed on-screen roles in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming film Killers of the Flower Moon starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and more, as well as the inspiring The Hill starring Dennis Quaid.

WHO ON EARTH Partner with Metal Insider for Early Album Stream of 'Blame'

New Jersey hard rock quartet WHO ON EARTH have partnered with Metal Insider for an early stream of their debut album, 'Blame', which will see a worldwide release tomorrow. Fans can check out the full LP on Metal Insider via the link found here.

The band comments: "The wait is over, and 'Blame' is finally here! A triumphant return to the fist-pumping, guitar-screaming, chorus-shouting music of years ago, revitalized with a modern sound that trumpets the return of melodic power groove that's been lost along the way. This album didn't take weeks, months, or years to make - it took decades, and the timing couldn't be better."

To celebrate the release of 'Blame', Who On Earth is thrilled to announce two upcoming shows in November.

The band will play at The Delancey in NYC next Friday (11/4), and on November 26 they will have their official Record Release Party at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ - opening for classic hard rockers Zebra!

AMERICAN JETSET Official Visualizer for "Tokyo Radio"! New Album, 'Cat's Got Your Tongue,' Out NOW!

Baltimore, MD based Rock Band AMERICAN JETSEThas released the visualizer for "Tokyo Radio," the newest single off of their new album, Cat's Got Your Tongue. Produced by TONY CORELLI, Cat's Got Your Tongue is available NOW via BIG CURVE MUSIC!

"Jetset is known for our simple sleazy style and punky Pussycat-inspired vocals. This record has all that and then some. When we parted ways with our last guitar player, it allowed us to explore more of our Ratt, Dokken, and Cinderella influences and you can really hear it in the new riffs." - IAN KAINE MACGREGOR (Vocals, Guitar)

Sunset Strip–era rock & roll never died and it’s finally making a comeback. When Hollywood films and streaming hits like Peacemaker (HBO Max) feature music from LA Guns, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Vain, it's proof that 80s hard rock is primed for a resurgence. Enter American Jetset.

The Jetset boys are direct descendants of those sleeping giants, and their anthemic hooks and animated live show have earned the band international airplay and a worldwide fanbase. Now they've released their much anticipated 3rd album, Cat’s Got Your Tongue, produced by Tony Correlli (Deep End Studios, Baltimore, MD). The album is a killer collection of aggressive rockers, pop anthems, and cigarette lighter love songs. With Pussycat-inspired vocals and riffs that bring to mind early Ratt, Dokken, andCinderella, there's a little something for everyone to love.

Cat’s Got Your Tongue is now streaming on all platforms and on CD, cassette, and vinyl from Big Curve Music. The band kicked off the year at M3 Rock Festival and is out supporting Kix, Jetboy, and Stephen Pearcy through the end of the year. American Jetset has big things on the horizon in 2023 and they're prepared for takeoff.

Following the news that they will make history as the first extreme metal band to headline the Kia Forum this December, undisputed kings of Viking heavy metal, Amon Amarth, have today announced that the historic evening will be celebrated with another first of its kind as terrestrial radio’s queen of hard rock Full Metal Jackie combines forces with Sirius XM’s Jose Mangin (Liquid Metal) to co-present the Los Angeles event in celebration of the metal genre.

Amon Amarth will be bringing their infamous theater production to their North American tour, a spectacle that fans have come to expect over the course of their touring career. Additionally, full-scale European production is coming to North American arenas this winter when they play the world famous Los Angeles Kia Forum, Place Bell in Montreal and Hammerstein ballroom in New York City as part of their gargantuan The Great Heathen Tour. The band have released a brand new tour teaser which gives fans a small taste of what to expect and can be viewed HERE or by clicking the image below. Get your tickets for The Great Heathen Tour HERE.

Along with their awe-inspiring stage show, featuring Viking ships, a Viking helmet drum riser, live battle reenactments, the now infamous "Viking Row" and enough pyro to raze several villages to the ground, Amon Amarth will also be bringing one of the best lineups of the year with them as they are joined for the full run by fellow genre legends Carcass, Obituary and Cattle Decapitation. These history making shows will see Amon Amarth become the first ever extreme metal band to headline arenas in North America. A truly exceptional feat for a European viking metal band who started touring the US in the early 2000’s, playing bars and clubs.

Speaking on their upcoming North American raid, Amon Amarth share;

“Heathens! Come make a battle to remember with us on these monumental and historic raids along with our fellow brothers in metal Carcass, Obituary and Cattle Decapitation. Let’s make these the biggest death metal shows in history in this country! Bring your viking spirit and get ready to raise your horns and row like you’ve never rowed before! See you at the shows!”

The 9-track aural assault that is “The Great Heathen Army” is available now HERE. The band have released two singles thus far - “Get In The Ring”, which is is the official entrance music for AEW pro-wrestling star Erick Redbeard who also stars in the music video, title track, “The Great Heathen Army” and “Find A Way Or Make One”.
