Imminence Share "Heaven Shall Burn" Video

Swedish alternative metalcore outfit Imminence have, during the last few years, established their own highly unique brand and have done their part to push the genre beyond expectations. With the distinct use of classical string arrangements blended with the influence of ferocious Scandinavian metal, the sound and visual universe of the quintet stands out as incredibly innovative and exciting.

Fronted by vocalist and violinist Eddie Berg, guitarists Harald Barrettand Alex Arnoldsson, drummer Peter Hanström, and bassist Christian Höijer, Imminence release the heaviest and most extreme song in the quintet's history with "Heaven Shall Burn." Letting influences from melodic death metal, and unexpectedly even black metal, Imminence took the opportunity to premiere the brand the new single live at Wacken Festival 2023, leaving a crowd of more than 20 000 people in a state of amazement and asking for more.

Watch the video below.

After opening a new release cycle with the success from the two latest singles "Come Hell or High Water" and "Desolation," quickly achieving millions of streams and a rapid growth in social media following, Imminence recently announced their very first tour in North America. As always, the group never ceases to do the unexpected, and decided to embark on the tour as a headliner. Within 48 hours, the entire tour was sold out and upgraded, recognizing Imminence as one of the most strongly demanded act on the international market today. 


The cycle of the previous album Heaven In Hiding closed with an exclusive Deluxe Edition release, including the single "Jaded," Imminence continued to gain viral attention on all social media platforms, partially due to the remarkable Live In Studio recordings, and experienced an impressive growth of +100,000 followers and millions of streams over the course of just a few months this year.

With four full length studio albums, over 220,000,000 streams, +570,000 combined online followers, and closing in on 800,000 monthly Spotify listeners, Imminence monumental touring history continues this summer. After selling out headline shows all over the continent and supporting metal legends In Flames in late 2022, the bands festival season includes some of Europe’s most significant anchor festivals such as Wacken, Summerbreeze, Reload, Tuska Open Air, along with supporting genre pioneers Architects.

From Sweden... with LOVE!

Another Day Dawns Share "Hesitate" Video + Announce New Album "Finding Peace Through All the Noise"

Pennsylvania band Another Day Dawns — singer Dakota Sean, guitarist Tyler Ritter, bassist Jerome Betz, and drummer Nick McGeehan — have announced their new album Finding Peace Through All the Noise. It arrives October 6 via Century Media. Pre-save it here.

Today, the band has shared the video for new single "Hesitate." Watch it below.

 "'Hesitate' is about the internal struggle we all deal with about coming to terms with the reality of your life and your relationships, rather than following the little devil on your shoulder," says Dakota Sean. "It's about not taking the easy way out and taking control of your life."

"Hesitate" is a not-so-subtle reminder why the Lehighton, PA based four-piece is one of the most buzzed about new rock bands hitting stages and winning over crowds at every stop. The track expands on ADD's blueprint of driving hooks, unforgettable vocals, and tuneful dissonance. Produced by Steve Sopchak (Ice Nine Kills, Motionless In White) and mixed by Jeff Dunne (Brand of Sacrifice, Ice Nine Kills), it's a hint of the shape of ADD's rock-to-come.
 
Since inking with Century Media Records in 2022, ADD have found themselves in cramped rehearsal rooms, studios, and ultimately, on stages of every conceivable size. "Having taken off so much time to get this album done, we thought we'd do some smaller shows to get things rolling again, but somehow we came back with our first arena tour and the biggest opportunity we've ever had as a band!" Hitting the road for a North American jaunt with Breaking Benjamin and Bush, ADD won over crowds every night. "We definitely felt nerves and anxiety while we entered what felt like a new world to us," says Ritter. "Pretty quickly that turned to ambition and drive."

ANOTHER DAY DAWNS began making a racket of their own as high school-aged friends in 2010. Countless electric and acoustic shows later, opening for the likes of Sevendust, Starset, and Atreyu as well as rock festivals including Aftershock, Blue Ridge and Louder Than Life, they've honed themselves into a force to be reckoned with in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region. The independent release of their 2018 EP A Different Life landed the band a charting spot on the Billboard rock charts, which solidified their foundation in the active rock market. Meanwhile, 2020's single release, "Taste of Heaven" has racked up over two million Spotify streams while 2021's release "Look at You" has garnered nearly 200K YouTube plays.

Mike Mains + The Branches Share "Lost Boys"

MIKE MAINS & THE BRANCHES recently announced the new album Memory Unfixed, out September 15 via Tooth & Nail. Pre-order it here.

"Memory Unfixed is a collection of musical snapshots from 2019-2021," Mains says. "The world went through a metamorphosis at that time and I fell down into the basement of unfixed memories. Some painful, some colorful, I'm glad to report there was magic down there. I am excited to share."

Today, the band has shared "Lost Boys." Listen below. 
 

"The inspiration for this song came when I was listening to 'The Suburbs' by Arcade Fire on repeat and thinking a lot about who I was as a teenager," Mains says,. "As far as I've come, I still feel I have so much to learn, and let go of. I'm always hacking away at the shadow I carry around because I don't want it to keep me from that sacred place."

Mike Mains & The Branches have always bottled complex emotions and relatable stories within hummable homegrown anthems. They have organically progressed over the course of Home [2012], Calm Down, Everything Is Fine [2014], and When We Were In Love [2019]. Billboard hailed the "buoyant pop" of the latter, while Atwood Magazine praised its "upbeat, energetic, feel-good pop-rock." Among many standouts, “Briggs” generated north of 4.8 million Spotify streams as "Breathing Underwater" and "Live Forever" each surpassed the 1 million-mark. After trading his native Michigan for Nashville, Mike underwent another era of transformation. Stuck at home mid-Pandemic, he retreated inward and began to understand his past and, ultimately, himself a bit more.
 
"Once COVID hit, I finally had the opportunity to allow some things to start boiling over," he elaborates. "I got serious about therapy, my mental health, and my well-being. I acknowledged wounds that had been on the backburner for my entire life. I've been on my own since I was 16, and I come from a family of physical and mental abuse. By living alone and crashing on couches over the years, I've cobbled together a wonderful surrogate family. Growing up, my dad was like, 'You'll never make it’.' Part of me was pleased to find success, move to Nashville, buy a home, and support myself and my wife off rock 'n' roll. Nevertheless, all of this pain came up. So, these songs are little vignettes and snapshots of not only the relationship between my wife and I but what was happening in the world with George Floyd and America's heartbreaking response."

The Devil Wears Prada Release New Version of "Salt" Feat. Dayseeker's Rory Rodriguez

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA have shared the new version of their single "Salt," which appears on 2022's Color Decay. This reimagined version features Dayseeker vocalist Rory Rodriguez.

Listen below. 
 

"After playing 'Salt 'around the world for the last year, it became obvious that something was happening with the connection of this song and we wanted to do something special with it," the band offers. "We reached out to our good friend Rory from Dayseeker to see if he would want to feature on a new version of the song, and he absolutely smashed it. Rory totally helps capture the emotional weight and energy that we put into Salt, and we're so excited to put out one of our favorite songs in a whole new light."

Voyager reissue "Fearless in Love" on Vinyl

VOYAGER have been everywhere since landing in the Top Ten at Eurovision. They've topped the AIR chart. They've chatted with Today and Guitar World and graced the cover of Prog magazine. 

The Australian progressive pop metal band are currently gearing up for their upcoming European and UK tour. But today, they're announcing that their new album 'Fearless in Love' is being reissued on vinyl. 

The original vinyl of "Fearless in Love" doesn't include "Promise". That's because Voyager had yet to debut the Eurovision hit when the first pressing of the album was in production. This new reissued version does include "Promise", along with other hits like "Prince of Fire" and "Ultraviolet".  

"Fearless in Love" will be reissued on vinyl with "Promise" on October 27. Pre-order HERE.

Voyager are coming back to Europe and the UK in October! Tickets are on sale HERE.

The band also just announced a huge homecoming party next year with their largest-ever headlining tour of Australia.  Tickets are on sale HERE.

As much as you can rely on the Earth’s elliptical orbit, you can depend on Voyager to consistently evolve. The band’s interplanetary balance of virtuosic pyrotechnics and sky scraping radio-ready hooks morphs at the speed of sound from one era to the next. In bursts of bright light, luminous keys, neon guitar wizardry, and stratosphere-shaking rhythms, they elevate hard rock to another realm. The group blast off on a signature hybrid of prog, rock, and metal possibly best described as the musical equivalent of Guardians of the Galaxy.

After piling up millions of streams, earning acclaim from the likes of The Guardian, and wowing the globe on the Eurovision Song Contest, the Perth, Australia quintet—Danny Estrin [vocals], Simone Dow [guitar], Scott Kay [guitar], Alex Canion [bass], and Ashley Doodkorte [drums]—take flight like never before on their forthcoming eighth full-length LP, Fearless In Love [Season of Mist].

“It’s progressive in the sense we’re always trying to reinvent and refresh ourselves as musicians,” notes Danny. “I want to develop musically from where we left off. We made sure Fearless In Love was melodic with some sugary hooks, but we also stayed true to our sound and delivered a few more guitar solos. It could appeal to fans of complex music as well as anybody who might want a straight-up banger. It’s a melting pot of the genres that define us distilled into the unique Voyager sound.”

This cohort of dynamic talents and personalities initially crash-landed stateside for a now-renowned performance at the 2011 ProgPower USA Festival in Atlanta, GA. Since then, they’ve unleashed a string of fan favourite albums—V [2014], Ghost Mile [2017], and Colours in the Sun [2019]—in addition to sharing stages with the likes Deftones, Leprous, Devin Townsend, Opeth, and Poppy to name a few. Australia notably handpicked Voyager as its entrant into the global Eurovision Song Contest 2023 with “Promise.” The Guardian hailed the buzzing single as “a pop number that bends the genre with trademark riffs, climactic guitars and keytar solos,” and it crashed the Top 3 of the Australian Independent Label Singles Chart. They even appeared on TODAY Australia to wave the metal flag by teaching daytime TV hosts black metal growls, as plugged by Metal Injection!

Throughout 2022, they crafted what would become Fearless In Love with engineer, mixer, and coproducer Matt Templeman. This time around, the musicians recorded live, unlocking a new energy altogether.

“Normally, we write and record our parts individually, but the whole band decided to go old school and do everything together this time,” he goes on. “This line-up has been together for twelve years, and we gel so well. It’s cool because we can play off each other like a live show with funky bass, groovy guitars, and creative drum patterns. It translates to the album.” On the single “Prince of Fire,” glimmering keys give way to a hard-hitting guitar riff as Danny’s slick vocals seesaw atop a punchy bass line.

“It’s actually one of the heaviest songs we’ve done, yet it’s got this super eighties mentality,” the front man reveals. “Lyrically, it’s about being perceived as the bad guy, even though you’re trying to do your best. You have good intentions, but sometimes you end up being the ‘Prince of Fire on night patrol’. Musically, it sways side-to-side, and then you’re crushed—which is a common theme for us.”

Then, there’s “The Lamenting.” Seventies-style sonics dissolve in a haze of riffs offset by swooning vocals and synths. Distortion drowns out the light in its final moments.

“You’re lamenting past loves and trying to let go and not wallow in those memories,” Danny elaborates. “There’s a bitter end that almost leaves you in the dark without pulling you out. It’s one of the most melancholic and sad songs on the album.”

Meanwhile, “Ultraviolet” layers a hypnotic refrain above chugging guitar as growls pierce the groove before a hummable solo.

“It’s about coping with the speed of modern society,” he states. “I like a fast-paced world, but it can be too much. You almost want to bury your head under your pillow and scream, ‘Slow down’. The expectations we have on each other as humans are just nuts. Sometimes, you need to become ultraviolet, duck under, and go, ‘No more for me, thanks’.”

The finale “Gren (Fearless In Love)” concludes the album with a climactic crescendo pushed even higher by resounding melodies and nimble instrumentation.

“When you’re in love, you have boundless energy and feelings for a person, which makes you almost invincible,” he elaborates. “There’s a huge vulnerability, because you’re not invincible at all. You’re totally susceptible to extreme hurt and letdown. There’s something beautiful about letting yourself go and fully experiencing being fearless though.”

In the end, a similar creative boundlessness drives Voyager.

“When you listen to Fearless In Love, I’d love for you to say, ‘I’ve never heard anything like this before’,” he leaves off. “Secondly, I hope you’re uplifted, intrigued, and emotional. We try take you on a journey through struggle, positivity, negativity, and a society that doesn’t always make sense. Maybe, listening to the record will make you feel better about dealing with this crazy modern world we’re living in.”

L.S. Dunes Share "Old Wounds" VIsualizer — WATCH // Band Touring With Pierce The Veil In The Fall🩸

L.S. Dunes — vocalist Anthony Green, guitarist Frank Iero, bassist Tim Payne, guitarist, Travis Stever, and drummer Tucker Rule — will release theirs second stand-alone single of the summer entitled "Old Wounds." 

The hauntingly beautiful "Old Wounds," along with the previously released psyche-metal workout "Benadryl Subreddit," were both recorded in April at renowned studio Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree, California with producer by Alex Newport (Mars Volta, Frank Turner, and City & Colour).  The new tracks follow the release of their landmark debut album, 2022's Past Lives. 

Listen to "Old Wounds" and watch the visualizer below.

To pre-order the special L.S. Dunes "Benadryl Subreddit" 7-inch single, visit the band's webstore HERE.

Earlier this week, L.S. Dunes also released Part 2 of Limitless Sky, a special behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of "Benadryl Subreddit" and "Old Wounds" at Rancho De Luna.

Watch Part 1 HERE and Part 2 HERE.  

'Old Wounds' was a song that Travis brought to the band a while back," says Iero. "In getting ready for the upcoming desert session, Anthony came back around to it and ended up singing an incredible melody over it. After hearing Anthony's voice on that song, it was pretty obvious what needed to be played over those existing melodies. 'Old Wounds' definitely feels like it represents the cold nights out in the desert for me and it might be one of my favorite songs we have done as a band."

"'Old Wounds' was inspired by something I thought that I had lost that I actually needed to let go of," shares Green. 

"The way everyone drifted into this song and brought their own energy was one of the most organic and natural approaches to songwriting I have ever been a part of, " states Stever. "From the initial instrumental ideas to the vocals Anthony added, all the way to the production, it just flowed. Like we had a road map for where the song would go already. The feelings it derives from me, and the continued layers make it possibly my favorite song I have ever been a part of writing."

The band just wrapped up a summer headline tour with sold-out shows in New York and Los Angeles. They are set to return to Chicago's RIOT FEST September 17, before joining Pierce The Veil on the 18-date Jaws of Life Tour, from November 4 through December 8. Full itinerary below.

FLAT BLACK Share New Singles "It's Your Lack of Respect" + "Halo"

Guitarist Jason Hook is storming out of the gates with his new band FLAT BLACK. The former Five Finger Death Punch guitarist has recruited a trio of young and talented turks, and the band has signed with Fearless Records for its debut album, the details of which are TBA. The album, produced by Hook, was recorded at both Hooks home studio and The Hideout. 

The band will support Godsmack on tour this fall. All dates are below. Get tickets here. 

Today, FLAT BLACK have shared two new songs: "It's Your Lack of Respect" and "Halo."

Watch the video for "It's Your Lack of Respect" below.

Listen to "Halo" here.

"It's Your Lack of Respect" has a raging, gnarly fire in its belly. With its percussive thrust, chunky riffs, shreddy guitars, and sheer attitude, the song will ignite mosh pits from the first note. The alternately snarled and sung vocal add a hefty dose of dynamics to a song that's already got plenty of grit and girth. It has a defiant energy — and what's more rock 'n' roll than that? 

"I didn't want to play it safe with the first release," says Hook. "Sure, there are other songs on the album that are more geared towards radio, but to me, 'It's Your Lack of Respect' makes a statement. It's unapologetically defiant, which is how I feel as a songwriter and we feel as band in today's seemingly homogenized rock landscape."

"Halo" is a mid-tempo rock anthem that demonstrates all of Flat Black's hallmarks. You're in for rapid fire riffing, soaring and thickly layered choruses with emotive clean vocals, and searing solos. The band doesn't scrimp on deep grooves, as the song is teeming with them.

"I love 'Halo' because the song sets a dark, sinister mood," Hook explains. "'Its charm is all about the contrast between the piano part and the guitar riff, not to mention the big chorus and guitar solo — to me, that's the FLAT BLACK sound."

ABOUT FLAT BLACK:
"I feel like FLAT BLACK is a secret I've been keeping for three years," Hook says. "It's finally time to unleash this band on the world. I'm grateful to Sully from Godsmack for giving us the chance to get out on the road and play for such an amazing group of fans."

Despite having reached a commercial summit with his prior band, thanks to multiple platinum certifications, sold-out arena shows, and a string of No. 1 singles, Hook remains as hungry for musical blood and thunder as the day he first picked up a guitar at the age of six. He is eager to not only replicate but to surpass his past successes with his new band.  

Having left his prior band in February 2020, which was right before COVID-19 put the entire world on pause, Hook wanted to assume creative control and let his musical free spirit soar in a project that was truly his. He opted to gamble on himself. With great risk comes great reward and the decision to form FLAT BLACK clearly worked out in his favor.

"As a musician, I crave freedom and I wasn't ready to stop creating," Hook shares.

"Life is short," he continues. "We all want to feel satisfied and happy with what we are trying to accomplish in life." 

 The pandemic shutdown allowed him the opportunity to assemble the right musicians and carefully craft their debut album. FLAT BLACK are armed with an arsenal of riffs that'll rattle your teeth loose from your gums, stadium-sized hooks, arena-ready anthems, and choruses that are guaranteed to touch a nerve. All of those factors combined make FLAT BLACK poised for success.

The origin stories of the rest of the players are indicative of a lifelong love of music and plenty of road-worn experience. The desire to play courses through their veins and propels them forward, which is why they all meshed so well with Hook.

Singer Wes Horton was introduced to music at age 13, thanks to his sister and Guitar Hero. He honed his vocal chops by playing in local bands and making online videos. Various music industry friends and acquaintances would become the connective tissue between himself and Hook. Horton knew he wanted to be a frontman, and FLAT BLACK afforded him that opportunity. Wes loves the fact that his bandmates prioritize songcraft — and that allows him to be the singer he has always wanted to be. 

Bassist Nick Diltz, who was born and raised in Los Angeles, is the son of a legendary rock music photographer who brought him to concerts during his formative years. He recalls being inspired by watching a VHS video of U2 performing at legendary venue Red Rocks. Seeing fans clamoring for a piece of Bono in the footage is a vision that never left his head. This first exposure to the power of a true rock icon solidified Nick's destiny as a live performer.

Drummer Rob Pierce hails from Nashville, aka Music City. His dad was a race car driver and his grandfather was a pastor. He grew up racing go karts and at first, wanted to follow in his dad's footsteps until he joined the fourth grade band and was bitten by the music bug. He chose the snare drum over the saxophone and from that moment on, music was the only thing that mattered. Rob got his first drum kit at age 11, which he set up in his dad's car shop. He learned to play his instrument next to 1,000 horsepower engines, which influences his highly energetic style to this day.

The chemistry between the players in FLAT BLACK is palpable. And while FLAT BLACK's songs are built to take up real estate in the brains of fans for weeks at a time, the true nature of the band's material is meant to be experienced live. FLAT BLACK are now ready to hit the road and bring these brutal bangers to the masses live and in the flesh.

Archetypes Collide Share "Fade Away" Video

Arizona upstarts ARCHETYPES COLLIDE — Kyle Pastor (vocals), Brandon Baker and Jared Knister (guitars), Ky Sanders (bass), and Tyler Flamm(drums) — quickly established themselves as a band unafraid to blur the lines between safety and innovation in heavy music. Soaring vocals, melodies, and heavy grooves swirl with passion and precision. The band dropped its self-titled debut on March 31 via Fearless Records. Get it here. 

Fresh off a tour with Beartooth and Trivium in the spring, the band is returning to the road this fall with We Came as Romans, Emmure, and Bodysnatcher. All dates are below.

Archetypes Collide have also shared the video for "Fade Away." Watch the performance-driven video, which offers a taste of what to expect when the band hits the road.

"Life can leave you feeling like the only way to succeed is to continually grind until you drive yourself into the ground," Pastor shares. "'Fade Away' is for those that feel like they're burning at both ends just to make it to tomorrow."

Pastor continues, "'Fade Away' is all about capturing that day-to-day (more often 'night-to-night,' if Im being honest) vibes of the touring life. Sleepless nights, blurring days, the grind of traveling, and being away from family and loved ones to pursue the dream. It's a crazy balancing act that can slowly start to wear on you if you're not careful to keep your priorities straight."

ABOUT ARCHETYPES COLLIDE:
ARCHETYPES COLLIDE demand repeated listening, mixing everything from Linkin Park and Bring Me The Horizon to The Chainsmokers, and Stranger Things-style retro synths, into a unique musical identity. A collection of singles and EPs drew a devoted fanbase and the attention of Oshie Bichar, bassist for Beartooth. Bichar enlisted his management, and the pair took Archetypes Collide under their wing. Soon after, SiriusXM's Octane got behind songs like "Your Misery," "Becoming What I Hate," and "Above It All." The band appeared on major festivals like Aftershock, Louder Than Life, and Welcome To Rockville, toured with genre giants The Amity Affliction, and crafted an ambitious self-titled debut album for Fearless Records. Archetypes Collide spent several weeks in the first part of 2022 making their inaugural full-length, with a super team surrounding them to execute their vision. Bichar produced alongside Nick Ingram (Dayseeker, Convictions, Hawthorne Heights) at Capital House Studio in Ohio. Additional production came from Jon Eberhard (Skillet, I Prevail, Until I Wake); The Plot In You frontman Landon Tewers lent a creative hand as well. The resulting album, mixed by Jeff Dunne (Ice Nine Kills, Wage War, Make Them Suffer), captures the vibrant spirit of the 2010s-era Warped Tour with a postmodern edge. It's a diverse but singular mission statement, brimming with authenticity and hope. ARCHETYPES COLLIDE aren't bound by preconceived notions or limitations. As single Kyle Pastor explains simply: "Why not take every shot, in every direction, under the umbrella of hard rock and metal?"

FLEISCHKRIEG Release Official Lyric Video for Dark, Re-imagined New Single, "Bloody Prophets II"!

US based, Neue Deutsche Härte, Industrial Rock band FLEISCHKRIEG has released the official music video for their new single, "Bloody Prophets II". Produced by LOGAN MADER(MACHINE HEAD, ONCE HUMAN), "Bloody Prophets II" is the first single off of the band's upcoming album (release date TBA), Still Beating: Herzblut II, a reproduction of the quartet's debut album, Herzblut, with the addition of two new tracks.

“A post-apocalyptic anthem with driving guitars and danceable synths, 'Bloody Prophets' is a song about the irony of how our saviors of old all promised eternal life only to die grisly, untimely deaths of their own. I wrote an early version of the song after spending several weeks suffering from intense alien abduction nightmares. Looking for help from spiritual sources, it dawned on me that those who promised eternal life in paradise suffered miserable deaths in the real world. - RICHARD CRANOR(Vocals)

Purchase / Stream "Bloody Prophets II":

FLEISCHKRIEG is also joining MUSHROOMHEAD, alongside Special Guests HELLZAPOPPIN, CIRCUS SIDESHOW REVIEW, and KURT DEIMER, on the 2023 30th Anniversary Fall Tour.

“Playing with MUSHROOMHEAD is a dream come true. MUSHROOMHEAD has been a strong influence of mine for over 20 years. They were one of the reasons I decided to start playing seven-string guitars and dabbling with Industrial music. Now I get to share the stage with them. Even the same stage where I first saw them in Cincinnati back in 2002!" - THOMAS CRAWFORD (Guitar)

Additional Tour, RSVP, & Ticketing Info

If Hell hosted a dance party - FLEISCHKRIEG would be the headliner. The band’s retro synths and crushing guitars of “BrutalWave” deliver a bold new take on heavy electronic music. Their debut album, Herzblut, is steeled in melodic synth, metal guitars, and apocalyptic vocals, packing a heavy enough punch to keep any fan of industrial rock music listening from beginning to end.

FLEISCHKRIEG is the result of a chance encounter between an Uberdriver and a drunk passenger partying in Seattle. The driver, RICHARD CRANOR, and the passenger, THOMAS CRAWFORD, found themselves kindred spirits through a mutual love of RAMMSTEIN and industrial metal. When the opening act dropped out of THOMAS’s solo CERAPHYM show, he invited RICHARD to perform in their place. RICHARD agreed with the caveat that THOMAS play guitars, and FLEISCHKRIEG was formed.

The group, currently based in Las Vegas, cite RAMMSTEIN, DIE KRUPPS, and LORD OF THE LOST as musical influences. Their moody electronic sound melds industrial metal with darkwave undertones, creating the genre of “Brutalwave”: a blend of new wave, metal guitars, and crushing industrial dance beats and vocals. Now with the addition of NICK MASON on Drums and KAYLIE CORTEZon synth/keyboards, FLEISCHKRIEG’s live shows are a force to be reckoned with.

FLEISCHKRIEG is:
RICHARD “DER EISMAN' CRANOR - Vocals, Synths
THOMAS CRAWFORD 'CERAPHYM' - Guitar
NICK MASON “LIVING DEAD DRUMMER” - Drums
KAYLIE CORTEZ 'NUDA' - Keyboards
ERIC BERGEN “ZERO” - BASS

KALLIAS Premieres New Song + Video, ft. JEFF LOOMIS,

Progressive death metal rising stars Kallias have partnered with Metal Injection for the premiere of their brand new single, "Irrational Fear," which features guitarist Jeff Loomis (Arch Enemy, ex-Nevermore!) The song and accompanying music video can be found below.

The band will be digitally releasing its brand new album 'First Ascent' tomorrow, August 25, 2023, via AISA Distribution! In celebration of the new release, Kallias will be also be kicking off a run of West Coast tour in support of Cyborg Octopus! The trek starts tomorrow in Fullerton, CA and will conclude on August 30 in Fresno, CA. The full itinerary can be found below!

Kallias guitarist and vocalist Nicole Papastavrou comments, "'Irrational Fear’ showcases the iconic Jeff Loomis, who has been a big influence to us since the beginning. The song kicks off our new album ‘First Ascent’ which releases Aug 25. Our approach with 'Irrational Fear' was to incorporate a more melodic feel compiled over heavier layers and more traditional song structure. We hope you all enjoy this opener to the new record!"

'First Ascent' can be pre-saved on all streaming services HERE.

Kallias U.S. Tour Dates:

08/25: Fullerton, CA @ Programme

08/26: San Diego, CA @ Til Two Club

08/27: Cupertino, CA @ XBar

08/29: Las Vegas, NV @ The Griffin

08/30: Fresno, CA @ Destructive Warehouse

Kallias is comprised of players who are masters of their craft. Nicole Papastavrou's solid history of songwriting and tight rhythms paired with Colin Cook's jazzy and technical leads are the perfect compliment. JP Andrade's undeniably precise percussion serves the music on every level, from jazz-influenced melodic sections to satisfyingly odd rhythms for the eager prog-loving ear. Beautifully woven bass lines by Chris Marrone provide an indomitable structure and embrace for each instrument — never overpowering, yet always highlighting.

For modern day prog and metal fans, Kallias can be compared to bands such as Opeth, Meshuggah, and Decapitated. The quartet holds a musical chemistry that is few and far between and that will keep you in the foreground from the beginning with bone-chilling introductions. This is by no means background music. Kallias creates their own genre for a panoramic audio experience that demands the listener's undivided attention to focus and feel.

Nicole Papastavrou - Guitars + Vocals

Silent Planet Announce "SUPERBLOOM" Album + Share "Collider" Video

California metal band SILENT PLANET have announced their new album SUPERBLOOM. It arrives November 3 via Solid State Records. Pre-order it here.

The release date is significant for the band, as it arrives on the anniversary of their horrific van accident.

Today, the band has shared the music video for "Collider." Watch it below.

"Take all the darkness. All the vitriol, the greed and the vanity; lay it again as dust. Everything can be alchemized. This song is called 'Collider,'" says singer Garrett Russell. "It's about what comes out of our lives when the people we trust and hold closest are the ones who can hurt or betray us the worst. We don't have to run from the pain or be afraid. The dark gives us the energy to make something beautiful. The song is about alchemizing the darkness and transforming its negative properties."

When the band dropped "Antimatter," Revolver enthused, "Silent Planet's new single begins with throbbing electronic pulsations and robotic clean croons, making you think that you're in for a clubby pop song. Nope. The djent instrumentation comes crashing through, and eventually the whole song builds up to a screamed chant that blends poledance-worthy synths with rigid, toe-stubbing breakdowns. Fuck yes."

"A SUPERBLOOM is this strange moment where brilliant fauna spring forth unexpectedly and bring forth such an array of colors, it almost feels alien in origin," Garrett notes. "It only lasts for a couple of weeks before it’s gone. While we were recording, the SUPERBLOOM was happening. For me, the record is getting in touch with the other side and watching the strange and paranormal emerge from the mundane and profane, hence the title."

Silent Planet has consistently transfixed a diehard fanbase. The group dropped a string of acclaimed albums, including The Night God Slept [2014], Everything Was Sound [2016], When The End Began [2018], and Iridescent [2021]. Album standout "Trilogy" generated 5.3 million Spotify streams to sit alongside their genre-bending triumph "Panic Room" from the 2016 release, currently at 5 million. The guys notably took home "Best Underground Band" at the 2017 Alternative Press Music Awards and toured with the likes of Motionless In White, August Burns Red, Beartooth, and The Contortionist.

Over the course of two years, they recorded what would become SUPERBLOOMin Woodland Hills, CA alongside longtime producer and frequent collaborator Daniel Braunstein. A jarring turn of events split the process into two seasons. Trekking through a Wyoming snowstorm in November 2022, Silent Planet survived a vehicle accident. The van flipped over, leaving the group laying in the wreckage of a bitter Wyoming snowstorm as Garrett was hospitalized with a fractured back and head wound requiring stitches.

"The majority of us were awake when we felt the van start to slide," he says. "We had some time to come to grips with the fact we were about to go down and have a close brush with death. Afterwards, we talked about what to do with the band. We went back into the record with an increased willingness to take risks. It bolstered our confidence to try new things. When the accident happened, it did something to my head, and it fed into the album."

Along the way, they settled on a conceptual framework, expanding the scope of their vision like never before. "I grew up in Northern California," he continues. "There's a strip of the state known as Humboldt County, but it's called the 'Lost Cove.' It's a hotbed for strange and paranormal events like UFO and Big Foot sightings. There's so much we haven't uncovered. It's possible our reality as we know it is not complete. We started telling the tale of a 17-year-old who went missing. It's based on a true story with many details changed. Art dictates reality, and reality dictates art. Making this record was a very strange and mystical process. It's the most magical and inspired moment of our career so far."

Silent Planet will return to the road this September, supporting Dayseeker. All dates are below, including Silent Planet headline shows.

Of Mice & Men Announce Share "Castaway" Video

Gold-selling hard rockers Of Mice & Men — Aaron Pauley (bass + vocals ), Valentino Arteaga (drums), Alan Ashby (guitar), and Phil Manansala(guitar) — previously announced their new album Tether on October 6 via SharpTone. Pre-order it here.

Today, they have shared the "Castaway" video. Watch it below.

"'Castaway' is about longing for connection with the people in our lives who tend to distance themselves when dealing with hardships, and how our inability to help them often feels like we're frozen in time," the band says.

Taking all creative matters into their own hands, the Southern California quartet self-produced and engineered all of the songs on Tether, their astonishing eighth album. Pauley mixed and mastered the album while Arteaga designed and painted the album's artwork. As a legion of devoted listeners worldwide has come to expect, guitarists Phil Manansala and Alan Ashby, Aaron, and Tino poured their hearts and souls into every note, creating another sonic document of their lives. 
 
“With this one, we weren’t really focused on how it sounded as much as we focused on how it felt," Pauley explains. "And that's a weird thing to do when all you're working with is sound. But that was really the goal. And we walked away from making it, feeling like we've accomplished that."
 
OM&M take sobering looks at depression, anxiety, loneliness, and existential dread, powering through the darkness, and emphasizing the importance of creativity as a balm for mental health. A commanding tempest of sounds coalesces within Of Mice & Men, blending the uplifting eloquence of modern active rock with the atmospheric dissonance of experimental post-rock. The band first emerged as part of a vanguard of future aggressive rock hitmakers. Over the years, they've distinguished themselves with musicality, creative ambition, and resilient determination. 

Album eight is no less ambitious. Tether is anchored by a reflective meditation on what it means to draw together as friends, family men, artists, and bandmates. What does it mean to be there for the people who depend on us, knowing we can’t fully protect them from the hardships of life? 
 
Tether is the next step in OM&M's evolution, combining their core sound with experimental and ethereal sound designs. The creative process focused on the excitement of discovery rather than preconceived "goals." Pursuing the moments when the elusive "x factor" reveals itself in the songs. Those moments are palpable in songs like "Integration," "Warpaint," "Enraptured," and "Indigo."
  
The Of Mice & Men core since 2016 – Aaron, Alan, Tino, and Phil – maintain a powerful bond with their audience and each other, no matter the obstacles. Whether a powerful anthem or atmospheric confession, their songs translate in intimate clubs and massive festivals. "It's about creating moments for people," Pauley says. "Music is the soundtrack to people's lives."

OM&M will also hit the road with Bullet For My Valentine and Vended this fall. All dates are below.

New England Metal & Hardcore Fest launched back in 1999 and took place at the famed Palladium in Worcester through 2018. It was often held over two or three days, with multiple stages and top-tier acts like Megadeth, Manowar, DragonForce, Opeth, Between the Buried & Me, Meshuggah, Killswitch Engage, Suicidal Tendencies, Anthrax, and more appearing through the years. It was always a "who's who" of the metal and hardcore scene and was a "not to be missed" event each Spring.

The event returns as a two-day extravaganza on September 15 and 16. Parkway Drive and Lamb of God will serve as headliners, with an incredible roster of bands gracing three stages — two outside stages and the main room. VIP tickets are available here.

Pick up some cans from our taproom at the pre-release 'Metal Monday' party on September 11 or see you at the show."

In addition to the killer lineup, there will be a museum and gallery celebrating the event's rich history and spotlighting the contributions of Killswitch Engage bassist Mike D'Antonio, who served as the event's graphic designer from 2001 through 2012, as well as the work of noted photographer Jeremy Saffer, who is the event's official shooter.
