Bodysnatcher release new track & video "Infested"

Heavy Floridian quartet Bodysnatcher have released their latest track and music video "Infested." The punishing track is featured on the band's EP, Vile Conduct, releasing digitally on September 3 via MNRK Heavy.  

Bodysnatcher's Kyle Carter says, "'Infested' is about falling back into depression over and over again. It’s about being on the cusp of giving up and telling yourself that you’re going to do whatever you can to heal and come out okay on the other end. Depression is a lifelong fight, and we’re always going to feel like it’s important to talk about.”

In addition to previously announced EU dates, today, the band announces their extensive U.S. fall tour in support of Fit For An Autopsy.  These dates kick off on October 18, 2024, at the Palladium in Worcester, MA, and wrap on November 17 at Toad's Place in New Haven.  Full dates are below.

Watch the sinister visual for "Infested" directed by Errick Easterday below:

The band previously released the tracks "Human Disdain," "Severed" and MURDER8 ft. Jamey Jasta from the EP.  The Vile Conduct  EP sheds light on the human race being disgusting and realizing that it is also part of all of us, whether we want it to or not. Produced by the legendary Will Putney (Fit for an Autopsy, END, Knocked Loose), Vile Conduct touches on personal tales of loss at the hands of addiction and substance, all through a unique lens of bitter remorse and ruthless aggression that only Bodysnatcher could provide.

Since their 2014 inception in Melbourne, Florida, Bodysnatcher have been bringing nothing but the finest in furious, extreme music. Combining crushing breakdowns with eerie ambience, scathing riffs and grisly grooves, the band have become synonymous with “heavy,” invoking violence in every city they happen to visit, spawning mosh pits that leave nothing but craters in their wake.

THREE GUESTS, SURPRISE SONGS: Kenny Rocks LA's SoFi Stadium

Twenty-four shows into a summer that’s seen the songwriter/superstar from East Tennessee shattering attendance records, besting his own numbers and often moving his stage all the way to the back wall, Kenny Chesney hit Los Angeles like a favorite son come home. Without missing a beat, he moved from a high velocity “Living in Fast Forward” to a surging medley of “Beer In Mexico,” “Keg In The Closet” and guitar-forward “KC/DC,” then a double time “Here And Now” as he returned to SoFi Stadium. The only country act – and second overall to the Rolling Stones – to bring two tours through the Inglewood, Calif.-based venue, the crowd was up and ready for whatever the night might hold.
 
“You can tell when you hit the stage,” reflected the eight-time Entertainer of the Year, “when an audience is ready to bring everything they’ve got. No Shoes Nation more than showed up at SoFi; they sang hard, were on their feet from the beginning and really leaning into songs that set a positive vibe for living life in the moment.”
 
Beyond multiple week No. 1s “Summertime,” “Get Along,” “American Kids” and “Save It For A Rainy Day,” the man the Wall Street Journal called “The King of the Road” blazed through fan favorites “Somewhere With You,” “Never Wanted Nothing More,” “How Forever Feels” and “Young.” Even more thrilling: three special guests, who each joined Chesney for a pair of songs.
 
First up was Uncle Kracker, who romped through the pair’s five week No. 1, double-Platinum smash “When The Sun Goes Down,” followed by sharing Mentor Williams’ “Drift Away,” which Kracker took to No. 1 for 28 weeks on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart. That turned straight into a euphoric rendition of “All The Pretty Girls” with Megan Moroney, rolling into a romping rendition of “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy.”
 
But the evening’s biggest surprise was Kelsea Ballerini, who the stadium-sized headliner hadn’t realized was in California. Surprising him Saturday with an ask to come sing, the pair dueted on their Country Music Association award-winning “half of my hometown,” as well as a yearning rendition of Chesney’s Grace Potter pairing “You & Tequila.”
 
“The beauty of music, especially live music, is that every day is different, and every day it will surprise you,” he said after the show. “If you’re in-the-moment of it, you can sing with three really good friends in the same show, and know that will never happen again…”
 
Certainly, for an audience who bestowed Chesney with license plates invoking song titles from Arizona (DOWNDRD), California (LYKWEDO) and Nevada (1MRSNST), it was a night where music set the tone and delivered a kind of rapture that saw the crowd waving their arms from side-to-side song-after-song and taking chorus-after-chorus along with Chesney and band.
 
“It’s fun when my friends come out and sing with me,” Chesney says of the night’s collaborations. “It makes the music seem alive. It’s like hearing No Shoes Nation: that’s when all the happy and the magic come together.”
 
Presented by Blue Chair Bay® Rum, it’s all about the friends, high energy and songs people know by heart.
 

“...because everything gets hotter when the sun goes down...”

Fame On Fire Share "Suicide (The Lovers)" Video

Fame on Fire — singer Bryan Kuznitz, Blake Saul (guitarist), Paul Spirou(bass), and Alex Roman (drums) — last week announced their new album The Death Card. It arrives September 6 on Hopeless Records. Pre-order it here. 

Today, the band drops the official video for the new single "Suicide (The Lovers)." Watch the contemplative, story-driven clip, which will take on you a journey through multiple emotions and is bathed in blue tones, here.

The song is essentially about the idea of going all in for love, and it employs all the drama of a classic tragedy. Cinematic keys and hooks live alongside an ominous spoken-word on the bridge: "Dear beloved we are here today in the final resting place to seal their fate."

"It's a Romeo & Juliet-style story," Kuznitz reveals. "The sentiment is 'If I'm going to love you, I'm going to die for it, and I'm okay with that.' With 'The Lovers Card,' you're sacrificing your life to make a relationship work."

Tarot cards might give perspective, soothe the uncertainty of mental health, or simply enable you to make better sense of your life. Fame on Fire use music in much the same way. The Florida quartet process frustrations, fears, and feelings with a malleable musicality, matching emotions to moments of precise hard rock, piano-laden melody, manic electronics, and relatable pop catharsis. After generating over 100 million streams, packing shows, and earning acclaim, the band ponder fate and the future on their third full-length offering, The Death Card [Hopeless Records].

The band initially materialized out of South Florida with a distinct and dynamic vision. Following a series of inventive and innovative viral covers, they served up the original Transitions EP in 2017. They maintained their momentum with 2020's LEVELS. "Her Eyes" gathered over 15.5 million Spotify streams followed by "HEADSPACE" [feat. POORSTACY] with 13.1 million Spotify streams. Welcome to the Chaos saw them ascend yet again fueled by the likes of "Plastic Heart" and "Welcome to the Chaos" [feat. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills]. The latter vaulted into the Top 15 at Rock Radio. The band also toured alongside Falling In Reverse, Ice Nine Kills, and ONE OK ROCK. In between selling out headline gigs, the guys decamped to Los Angeles in order to record Death Card with producer Erik Ron [Godsmack, Motionless In White, Panic! At The Disco]. "This was our first time working with a producer," recalls Bryan. "Erik kept us on track, and he pushed me as a lyricist and songwriter to make everything cohesive." Threading this body of work together even tighter, each song corresponds to its own tarot card.

Fame on Fire will return to the road this fall, supporting Wage War. All dates are below.

Zeal & Ardor Announce Fall 2024 Tour + Share "Hide In Shade" Visualizer

ZEAL & ARDOR isn't just a band; it's a living and breathing entity. Like any sentient being, it consumes, evolves, and transforms from one season to the next. It has only sharpened its claws, lengthened its teeth, and steeled its nerves over the years, growing more undeniable and unpredictable in the process.

The band will drop its fourth album, the self-produced GREIF, on August 23. Pre-order it here.

Zeal & Ardor are beyond pleased to announce their return to North American soil with a headline tour that kicks off November 23 in Philadelphia and runs through December 18 in Dallas. Gaerea and Zetra will support. Tickets are on sale now. Get tickets here.  All dates are posted below.

"We can finally share our U.S. dates later this year," says Z&A. "We're excited to play the new world again, moreover we have an incredible group of artists along with us. We can't wait to see you there."

Zeal & Ardor have also shared their newest single "Hide In Shade." Watch the visualizer and listen below.

With its layered vocal harmonies, handclaps, metallic, roar, and an overall fire in its belly, "Hide In Shade" represent everything fans love about the band.

"We would be remiss if we didn't share something closer to what we are known for," the band states. "This is that. Where the sun shows all we hide in shade. Stay strange."

Rather than stagnating, basking in global acclaim garnered from three previous albums — Devil Is Fine [2017], Stranger Fruit [2018] and Zeal & Ardor [2022] — Manuel opted to shake things up for GREIF.

Instead of creatively flying solo again, this time he welcomed his bandmates into the studio, featuring three voices for the first time and emboldening the sound from every angle. As such, the musicians — Tiziano Volante [guitar], Marc Obrist [vocals], Denis Wagner [vocals], Lukas Kurmann [bass], and Marco Von Allmen [drums] — spread their wings alongside him. Decamping to Obrist's studio Hutch Sounds in Switzerland, the record came to life in just five months.

"We've really evolved into a tight-knit unit," explains Obrist. "Before Zeal & Ardor, we were basically strangers, but we're like a little family now. Each member brings his own unique flavor to the mix, and we all try to make Manuel's songs better in our own way. The most interesting part for me was the new approach of how we work together in the studio."

"I wanted to expand upon what we had and introduce new colors," Manuel continues. "There are angry and accusatory moments, but there’s also some solace and happiness. I’m widening the palette of colors we have to paint with. These are avenues we haven’t tried."

"We invite listeners to hear the full spectrum of the different sides and sounds that make Zeal & Ardor," Tiziano leaves off. "There are some gorgeous moments, but it packs in a lot of intensity and charm. In Manuel's songwriting and the process with every member, there's a certain intentionality as well as an element of randomness and accident. I can't wait to see people’s reactions."

In January 2024, ZEAL & ARDOR released Play With The Devil, a documentary film by Olivier Joliat and Matthias Willi. The documentary intimately chronicles Manuel Gagneux's journey from the inception of ZEAL & ARDOR through initial tours and a soul-searching period of crisis. The bold mix of Black Metal with old work songs and field hollers by the enslaved — his answer to a racist provocation on the internet — is politically explosive. As a person of color in metal, Gagneux and his music have shone a light on religion, racism, segregation, and cultural appropriation.  However, the sudden surge in acclaim and the weight of being hailed a visionary leader by fans threatened to overwhelm the softly-spoken, introverted artist. Play With The Devil is available now for streaming on major platforms. For more information and to watch, visit here.

Pistols at Dawn Drop Video for New Single "Not Sorry"

Atlanta foursome PISTOLS AT DAWN — Adam Jaffe [drums], Will James [lead guitar], Gabriel Cuevas [bass], and Jon Sookdew Sing [lead vocals]— are entering their unapologetic era with their new single "Not Sorry."

Be forewarned, though! It's a banger with a hard rock and industrial-tinged edge, and dreamy vocals. It's an unexpected mix and it slays.

Watch the video below.

"Obsessed much?," the band states about the song's subject matter, with tongue planted firmly in cheek. "We all have crazy, toxic people in our past that try to manipulate and intimidate us. And the only way to deal with them is to unapologetically tell them that they are most definitely the problem." #TRUTH

As for the video, the band continues, "It encapsulates every relationship or moment in your life that have been abusive and corrosive to the soul. Dark themes are counterbalanced by the driving energy to overcome adversity. Poisonous elements and dark spaces represent the internal struggle and the focused intensity to become your own champion. It's an in-your-face lack of apology for moving forward and making your life your own."

Pistols At Dawn craft the kind of rock music that doesn't just reach the rafters; it breaks through the ceiling. Sky-high hooks stretch into the heavens, a powerful low-end rumbles without apology, and riffs roar at all the right moments. Thus far, the Atlanta band have emerged as a phenomenon. They've amassed nearly 10 million global streams and views, infiltrated the Billboard and Mediabase Top 40 Active Rock charts, earned acclaim from American Songwriter, Brave Words, and the Atlanta Journal Constitution, and embarked upon global tours alongside heavy-hitters such as Alter Bridge, Mammoth WVH, and Fozzy, to name a few. The quartet canvased the world throughout 2022 and 2023. Upon returning stateside, they opted to decamp to Los Angeles in order to assemble new material. Stayed tuned for more, because Pistols at Dawn are leveling up.

PISTOLS AT DAWN LIVE:
7/19 —Spartanburg, SC —The 720 Room (Tickets)
9/14 — Atlanta, GA — Smith's Olde Bar (Tickets)

FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE DELIVERS BAROQUE METAL MASTERPIECE 'I CAN NEVER DIE'

Italian Symphonic Death Metal maestros FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE have released the latest single, ‘I Can Never Die’, from the band’s long-awaited 6th studio album, Opera, that’s due out August 23rdfrom Nuclear Blast Records. Accompanied by the stunning music video by visionary director Martina L. McLean, ‘I Can Never Die’ is a crushing sonic tribute to artists and their enduring works.

Commenting on the song, frontman Francesco Paoli states:

"Memory is the strongest force in the universe, as it’s the one and only that can give us immortality. It can’t be deceived or shaped to our liking as, in the end, we are what we do and what we leave to posterity faithfully reflects what kind of men and women we’ve been. Some people don’t give the right value to their actions, focusing on immediate profit, and forgetting that our choices have a decisive impact on our and other people’s existence. Especially when you are an artist. It's essential to remember that everything we create outlives us, it has a life of its own and, once it’s brought into existence, it belongs to everyone and we have no more control over it. 

Death can occur abruptly any time and there’s no chance to change what it's done, once we’re gone. As far as I’m concerned, one of my first thoughts when I realized that I could have died was “who have I been” and “what am I leaving behind”. I recollected my whole life and figured out how much determination, sacrifice and honesty I’ve put into art and that made me so proud that I would have died in peace.

That’s why we wrote this song, which is nothing but a glorious anthem for all those who commit their existence to art in the purest possible way."

Director Martina L. McLean adds about the music video:

“‘I Can Never Die’ is the third video created by me and my team, Sanda Movies, in collaboration with Fleshgod Apocalypse, for the Opera cycle. For a song with such a profound and universal meaning—a true anthem to the value of art and the artist—I wanted to contribute to the visual aspect by creating an experimental video, entirely guided by inspiration, lots of different approaches, techniques, and obviously too many of hours of editing. Drawing from the infernal and chaotic masterpieces of Hieronymus Bosch, but ranging through styles and times, the band brings to life infinite, hypothetical paintings. As always, my applause goes to the band, who always give their best, both in the most extreme sets and in those where everything is left to the imagination.”

FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE are finally back with their brand new, 6th album titled Opera, a gut-wrenching musical journey inspired by the tragic mountain climbing accident occurred to their frontman and mastermind Francesco Paoli, in 2021.

Due out August 23rd via Nuclear Blast Records, Opera is structured like a 10-act theatrical piece, as the title itself, Opera, draws a clear thread with the everlasting tradition of Italian classical music theater combining it with the epic brutality of death and symphonic metal, which has become their trademark sound. Mixed and mastered by Grammy-nominated producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Epica, Arch Enemy), Opera definitely marks another step forward for the band, incorporating new suggestions into that unique blend that FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE are renowned for: sheer violence, majestic orchestrations and soaring melodies. Such an ambitious musical endeavor called for an equally impressive artwork, a team effort between two arising Italian talents (artist extraordinaire Felicita Fiorini and visionary photographer Francesco Esposito), following the path traced by baroque painters like Caravaggio and Artemisia Gentileschi. The cover art portrays Veronica as Music, a superior entity that defeats the social and artistic decay of modern age.

With this new record, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE are setting the bar even higher than before, pioneering what looks like a completely new sub-genre that might be called “Opera Metal”: an unprecedented mix of extreme music and theatrical elements.

Koe Wetzel's '9 Lives' Arrives

For nearly a decade, the name Koe Wetzel has carried with it an “if you know, you know” reputation. To a devoted cult audience, the Texas singer-songwriter has been a genre disrupter, mixing country with rock, hip-hop, and grunge; a live performer as powerful and unpredictable as a tornado; and a notorious party animal who never met a bottle of tequila he couldn’t finish. Wetzel remains all of those things, but on his new album 9 Lives, available now via Columbia Records, he proves that there’s more to his story — and that a mass audience awaits. Listen HERE.
 
Produced predominantly by Gabe Simon (Noah Kahan’s Stick Season) alongside a string of trusted collaborators like Josh Serrato, Amy Allen, Carrie K and Sam Harris (X Ambassadors), 9 Lives finds the Pittsburg, Texas, native showing off his versatility as a writer and his prowess as an interpreter of songs.
 
“The way Gabe Simon goes into making music, he cares so much about it,” Wetzel explains of his producer. “He comes at it wanting to get everything out of the songs. Gabe came in and extracted everything from me; he got me talking about stuff, everything going on in my life. Usually, I go in with all the melodies, and then write the lyrics. Not this time.”
 
Simon went for the jugular. Laughing, Wetzel says, “Every song we wrote or found, we kept. There was a freedom: we sat down and talked about the shit going on in my life. By pulling all of that out of me, going in the vocal booth, that’s how free I was – and the most open I’ve ever been. You can hear it in the songs.”
 
You can also hear the urgency. Recorded at legendary Sonic Ranch in the border town of Tornillo, Texas, as well as Melody Mountain in Stephensville, Texas, they had that Lone Star fire. Add sessions at Nashville’s Blackbird and historic RCA Studio A, it alchemized a rush to 9 Lives that’s palpable. Recorded largely live, the tracks went down almost as lightning fast as the writing, with eight of the songs written in a pair of three-day bursts; one in El Paso, the other in Nashville.
 
A bleary-eyed, scene-setting lament “Continued” turns into a full-on rocking country proposition. A kick drum pumps and a chicken-wire electric guitar drops a few notes as the swaggering “9 Lives (Black Cat)” leans into an unrepentant catalog of misadventures survived. Bar fights, rodeo clowns, preachers, dealers, the twins next door, cheap tequila, bathroom snow and “a 12-pack, two dime bags, flat-lined twice, just to come right back” make a vivid world that only the fearless survive. And so it goes…
 
“Every record’s almost turning a new leaf, always a left turn because of how honest I am. I want fans to know that there's a different side of me, not just the sex, drugs, and rock & roll Koe that they may have heard about online,” Wetzel says. “I've grown up a little bit. I’m no longer the 20-year-old kid that's partying down and getting thrown in jail all the time. 9 Lives reveals a vulnerable side that people may not be used to hearing.”
 
Grown does not mean completely settled down, though. For everyone who caught the lightning bolt that was the state-of-scrapping musician Noise Complaint, there’s rowdy singalong “Bar Song,” all the raw swerve’n’blister in the high-flying autobiographic “Twister,” the atmospheric truth-telling that defines his “Damn Near Normal” and barn-storming take on how he keeps running while missing that certain one in “Runnin’ Low.”
 
“I like to drink,” he says, owning the obvious. On a record that conversationally drops Ambien, Xanax, El Paso dust, blow, THC… he knows his way around the contraband in his songs. “It’s a family tradition. My dad’s side is all Southern Baptist: no drinking, no cursing – though he loved Creedence, ZZ Top’s ‘LaGrange,’ BTO, Petty. My mom’s Methodist: let’s party, go hard. 

Wetzel’s diverse musical background is evident on one of the album’s most surprising tracks, a cover of the late XXXTentacion’s “Depression & Obsession.”
 
“I always loved that era of music – that Lil Peep era, XXXTentacion – he was one of my favorite artists out of that group,” Wetzel reflects. “I feel like there’s a lot of music that we didn’t get from him, so it’s kind of just a nod to him and I hope we did it justice.” 
 
A Lone Star native through and through, he was also heavily impacted by Charlie Robison’s Good Times, the album arriving in Wetzel’s life as a Christmas gift in seventh grade. A Texas Music sensation who had signed to a major Nashville label then bailed, the songs, attitude and harder sound from Robison captured Wetzel’s imagination. He also gravitated to some of the deeper, soul-baring songs.
 
To homage that spark, Wetzel offers a minor-keyed strum that’s as much low-impact Nirvana as it is High Plains Drifter on “Reconsider.” That slow-moving lament comes from Robison’s Better Days, with Wetzel realizing along the way that it – like many Texas music classics – was originally by Keith Gattis.
 
“I thought Charlie had written a lot of them, but then I find out about Keith Gattis. I never got to meet him; he and Charlie died six months apart. I have so many emotions right now about all that, you can hear them.”
 
For a guy who is fully a man’s man, he also has that romantic tenderness that undermines his machismo. Whether Gabe Simon and Mick Coogan’s flowing tangle of how hard love is on “Hatchet” or his own smoky, haunted “Sweet Dreams,” the notion of love that might still be salvaged comes with a throb that pulls listeners in.
 
Just as potent is Wetzel’s ability to let go of the rope. Sometimes hilarious – the sweet pop/folk “Leigh” recounts his losing record with women, particularly those whose names all have that suffix in common: Haleigh, Baleigh, Kaleigh and more – and other times flat indifferent – the soaring “High Road” (with a version featuring rising star and labelmate Jessie Murph currently delivering as his Country radio debut) – he’s not afraid to get out of something that ain’t working. 
 
That sense of self permeates 9 Lives, especially the closer, “Last Outlaw Alive,” with a ragged gravitas to the loping celebration of a dying way of life. Laconic doesn’t have to mean sleepy. Like the many vibes and rhythms on Wetzel’s album, he – and the players – deliver a spark.
 
“The thing about this album is writing can be grueling. But this time, after writing a song, there was always that adrenaline rush. What do you do with that? Put it into the songs, no matter how fast or slow.”
 
Having defined a rogue rock/cowboy ethos over his album, Wetzel found a new intensity. “Being on the road for so long, you start to think you’ve hit a plateau. You wonder, ‘Is this what I’ll be known for? Will these songs be what it’s all about?’
 
“I get a lot of joy playing the older songs. But you want to grow. I love playing those records I grew up on, so I understand. But I’ve been honing and growing a certain sound, and we’re hitting it. This is where the rest of it begins…”

MNRK Heavy welcomes Slomosa

Norwegian riff-rock regalers, Slomosa , have signed with independent music group MNRK Heavy (High on Fire, Escuela Grind, Crowbar). The Bergen-based band will release its new LP, 'Tundra Rock,' on September 13. Boasting a brazen backbone of groove-bitten punch and silken melodic hooks heavily inspired by the Palm Desert music scene, Slomosa showcases a hibernating sound that has been reawakened for a new generation.

In celebration of its new label home, Slomosa today releases a video for the new track "Battling Guns."

"Slomosa is an absolute riff powerhouse with an amazing live show," comments MNRK Heavy SVP, Rock & Metal, Scott Givens. "They are an incredible band and all of us at MNRK are thrilled they have picked us to be their label partners."

Expansive mountains constitute nearly two-thirds of Norway. This breathtaking grandeur gives the country a sense of natural splendor and mystique as if its topography has held secrets for millennia. 'Tundra Rock’ is, quite simply, ‘Desert Rock’ on Slomosa 's terms.

 “A desert doesn’t have to be warm", observes vocalist/guitarist Ben Berdous. "If you think about it, the biggest desert in the world is Antarctica. In this respect, the tundra is our desert. We thought it would be cool to coin a genre, and it’s stuck. You could certainly say the grandiosity of nature is evident in the songs of Slomosa.” 

'Tundra Rock' is also advanced by the superbly heavy track, 'Rice,' a cavernous cut soaked in sunbaked groove, and 'Cabin Fever.'

Kenny Chesney Offers No Shoes Radio for the Rest of July!

With the Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour setting and breaking his own records in stadiums across the country, “Take Her Home” becoming his 33rd Billboard No. 1 and “Just To Say We Did” climbing the charts, Kenny Chesney wanted to find a way to dial up the fun as summer continues rolling along. Having always tried to keep the music front and center, why not give No Shoes Nation 24/7 access to the sounds of great times, good friends and the moments that last a lifetime?
 
Working with the folks at SiriusXM, Chesney and his team are making No Shoes Radio available – for free – through the end of July. With road trips, beach escapes and hopefully nights at Chesney’s upcoming shows, what better way to get there than listening to Kenny, Tommy, Kizzy, the road family and all kinds of music?
 
“Music has always been what’s driven me, made life make sense and dialed up the fun,” says the East Tennessee songwriter/superstar. “When we first launched No Shoes Radio all those years ago, I realized how much and how many kinds of music I listen to, and I loved everything about sharing everything from Bob Marley to Grace Potter, live tracks and special guests with my friends in No Shoes Nation.
 
“I don’t think there’s any other music mix quite like it, but I think the people who love our music are a lot like me. They love a whole lot of different things, maybe listen based on the mood or vibe like we do. So over the years, No Shoes Radio has been one of the best things in my world! It lets me take No Shoes Nation along wherever I may end up.”
 
Taking people behind the scenes, on the road, even onstage, No Shoes Radio is almost the listening companion to Sun Goes Down 2024. For fans who are not currently subscribers, you can take advantage of this special, limited window to enjoy No Shoes Radio by visiting SiriusXM.com/NoShoesRadioListenFree.
 
With “Just To Say We Did” hitting terrestrial radio, the anthem for shooting your shot, living your life out loud and embracing the moment is rolling out of car windows and off boats across the country. Always one to distill life in songs that make people live their best life right where they are, Chesney is all about giving people as much music as they can possibly enjoy.
 
“To me, music is medicine,” Chesney says. “It’s love. It’s fun. It’s healing. It’s the thing that truly defines the rhythm of whatever we’re seeking, takes us where we wanna be. And I love all the ways people can find the songs that are going be the soundtrack of summer 2024.”
 
Presented by Blue Chair Bay® Rum, the Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour runs throughout the summer.

“Because everything gets hotter when the sun goes down…’

Swedish post-punk trio THEN COMES SILENCE kicks off European tour in support of 'Trickery' LP. Enjoy a dark fix with the cavernous 'Ghost House'

"Then Comes Silence are everything a band should be - good tunes, good playing and singing, and good looking. Their songs are ear-worms, once heard difficult to forget, as catchy as gonorrhea but far better for your health" ~ Wayne Hussey

”I can see them being huge” ~ Dani Filth (Cradle of Filth)
 
"Capturing the alluring intersection of 1980s Post-Punk, New Wave and College Rock in one fell swoop, this music feels organic and fresh, with ample drive, clever songwriting and a killer melody, along with crisp production" ~ The Spill Magazine 

"Truly love it" ~ She Past Away
 
"Hellacopters of Gothic Rock" ~ Jyrki 69 (The 69 Eyes)

"The only band that have been voted in as album of the month three times!" ( 'Blood' in 2017 / 'Machine' in 2020 / 'Hunger' in 2022) ~ Sonic Seducer Magazine


Swedish post-punk outfit Then Comes Silence has kicked off a string of European tour dates announced for 2024 in support of their seventh album ‘Trickery’, released earlier this year via Metropolis Records. Not long ago, the band wrapped up a successful North American tour is currently touring North America.

The band presents one of their favourite songs from this album - 'Ghost House', which features back vocals by Emma Nylén (Emmon). This is a meticulously-crafted song laced with raw passion, where every echoing synth line brings us closer to the heart of their musical dominion. This also happens to be the final song on the album.

Formed in Stockholm in 2012, Then Comes Silence is made up of frontman Alex Svenson, drummer Jonas Fransson and guitarist Hugo Zombie (Los Carniceros del Norte), their name inspired by frequent touring with A Place To Bury Strangers and an attraction to horror and the occult.

Following up their 2022 album 'Hunger', released via Nexilis Records / Schubert Music (Europe) and Metropolis Records (North America), 'Trickery' captures the heart and essence of alternative rock, along with electronic elements. But it is also a salute to punk music, to which Then Comes Silence traces their roots.

With 13 lush and cavernous tracks on offer, this record features guest appearances by Gözde Duzer of Aux Animaux, Emma Nylén (Emmon), Jörgen Wall of Whale, Thåström and Dusty Gannon of Vision Video.

Recorded by Jörgen Wall (Jay-Jay Johanson, The Hellacopters) over three days at Stockholm's Kapsylen Studio and mixed by Tom van Heesch (Rammstein, Apocalyptica, Backyard Babies), this album was mastered by Svante Forsbäck / Chartmakers (Rammstein, Amaranthe, Ville Valo, The Rasmus, Apocalyptica). Earlier, Then Comes Silence shared the singles 'Like a Hammer', ‘Ride or Die’, and focus track 'Stay Strange'.

This album celebrates friendship, unity and the feeling of belonging to a group, a tribe. Being a part of the goth and post-punk community is, according to the band, a great privilege. After being on the road and meeting people from the music scene for so many years, the band have experienced a caring and welcoming community. Old and young. Some with a similar background and some just for the love of the music and the culture that comes with the lifestyle.  

After debuting with their eponymous album in 2012, Then Comes Silence put out two more albums before releasing 'Blood' via Nuclear Blast in 2016. Their subsequent 'Machine' album was jointly released via Oblivion / SPV and Metropolis Records in 2020.

Then Comes Silence has toured and performed with The Fields of the Nephilim, The Chameleons, A Place To Bury Strangers, The Bellwether Syndicate and Vision Video, as well as playing Wave Gotik Treffen, M'era Luna, Amphi Festival, Castle Party and W-Festival.

The 'Trickery' album is out now, available on vinyl, CD and digitally everywhere, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp.

Enter Shikari & St Albans City FC Renew Shirt Sponsorship For New Football Season

INFERNO FESTIVAL NORWAY 2025 Announces Second Wave of Bands; ft. TSJUDER, TIAMAT, NECROPHOBIC + More

GET PASSES HERE

“Something strange and magical happens in the town of Oslo, Norway over Easter week. Most of polite society flees to the mountains while a scourge of metal heads pour in from all over the globe to experience the four day extravaganza of extreme metal, hedonism & hepatocyte known as Inferno Festival. Subsequently, the entire city becomes a misanthropic miscreant’s soggy dream come true, and we’ve got the whole place to ourselves!” - Metal Injection

INFERNO FESTIVAL NORWAY 2025 is pleased to reveal the first wave of bands for next year's highly anticipated edition, which will once again take place in Oslo (NO) from April 17-20 for another blasphemous Easter! The festival now welcomes TSJUDER, TIAMAT, NECROPHOBIC, SCHWEINand VORBID to the lineup! Tickets and passes can be found HERE.

VIOLENT MAGIC ORCHESTRA

TSJUDER

The Norwegian black metal band Tsjuder was founded back in 1993 and has maintained a steady course ever since. Tsjuder released their first demo in 1995 with the intention of creating the rawest form of black metal. Over the years, many band members have passed through Tsjuder, but Nag and Draugluin have been with the band the entire way. At Inferno Metal Festival 2025, Tsjuder will perform a two-part set; after the band concludes a set of their own material, they will perform Bathory material, in which they will be joined by co-founding Bathory bassist Frederick Melander.  

TIAMAT

Swedish Tiamat started back in 1989 and has since released ten albums. Tiamat began within the death metal genre but soon became one of the pioneers of Swedish goth metal. This period will be the focus when Tiamat comes to Inferno Metal Festival to perform a special set focusing on 'Clouds' (1992) from 'Wildhoney' (1994). It has now been ten years since Tiamat last played in Norway, so it is high time to have them back.

NECROPHOBIC

With over thirty years of active, nefarious service under their spikes and bulletbelts, Necrophobic are undisputed legends of the death and black metal scene. Formed in 1989 by drummer Joakim Sterner, the Stockholm blackhearts propagated a singular and fearless vision from the very start. The band recently released its tenth studio album, 'In the Twilight Grey;' which immediately asserts its separation from everything that has gone before. Colder and more biting than recent efforts, the album is full of brutish metal songs, hewn from unnamed obsidian horrors.

SCHWEIN

Schwein will be remembered by many as the star of Satyricon’s documentary film, 'Roadkill Extravaganza - A True Roadmovie.' He has also been part of bands such as Russian Amcar Club, Kaare & Partiet, Ym:stammen, and Schweinhund. On September 13, Schwein will make its debut with the release of their first full length, 'War.' The lineup features Steinar Gundersen (Satyricon) on guitar, Anders Hundstad (Satyricon) on keyboard, Stig Amundsen (Order/Glucifer) on bass, and Christian Svendsen (Gothminister/The Cumshots) on drums. Musically, Schwein lies in the landscape of Norwegian black metal and traditionak folk, utilizing classic instrumnets such as the Hardanger fiddle and langeleik.

VORBID

Hailing from Arendal, Norway, Vorbid is at the intersection between progressive rock and metal. From their younger days as a thrash metal band, with albums such as 'Mind' (2018) and the self-titled EP 'Vorbid' (2016), the band has since grown and matured with a more modern approach. With inspiration from bands such as Vektor, Opeth, Porcupine Tree, King Crimson, Genesis and Rush, the band’s music has become anything but predictable. On their latest album, 'A Swan By the Edge of Mandala,' Vorbid combines the best of the older material with new and exciting turns. The band is in constant musical development and new songs are on the way.

Morgan Wallen Adds 2nd Night at Neyland: Friday, Sept. 20

“I’m coming home,” Morgan Wallen posted Monday, announcing his East Tennessee homecoming concert at Knoxville’s Neyland Stadium on Sunday, September 22. In a video set to “Rocky Top,” millions of fans had viewed it by lunch, snatching up hotel rooms across the city in anticipation of tickets going on sale Wednesday morning. The news has been met with such fervor that the 11-time Billboard Music Award-winner has now added a second and final hometown show for Friday, September 20. Tickets go on-sale beginning Thursday, July 18 at 11am EST at MorganWallen.com.
 
With over 150,000 fans expected to attend across both nights, Wallen becomes the first artist in the venue’s nearly-100-year history to ever play two nights as the One Night At A Time 2024 tour stop marks the first time the country singer has returned to Knoxville on tour since headlining the Tennessee Valley Fair in 2019. 
 
Fans can also purchase VIP Packages, which may include premium tickets, guided backstage tour, group photo on the stage, invitation to the Morgan Wallen VIP Lounge, VIP-exclusive gift item and more. VIP package contents vary based on the offer selected. For more information, visit vipnation.com.
 
Upon sharing the news earlier this week, Wallen stated, “I’ve had the honor of playing in a lot of college, MLB and NFL stadiums the past two years, but getting to play to my hometown at Neyland Stadium, nothing tops this for a boy from East Tennessee.”
 
With a portion of every ticket purchased to his live shows benefiting The Morgan Wallen Foundation (MWF), the nonprofit recently donated $100,000 to the community of Jefferson City to improve and renovate two local baseball fields. With $80,000 going toward Roy Harmon Field via the City Parks Department and $20,000 toward New Market Field via Jefferson City Little League, the renovations include new infields, bases, dug outs, press boxes, backstop padding, fencing and more. Read more HERE.
 
With just 11 dates remaining on One Night At A Time in the U.S., Wallen will kick-off his first-ever European tour on Aug. 28 in Stockholm, Sweden. The seven-show run will include additional stops in Copenhagen, Denmark; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Glasgow, U.K. and more before concluding with two back-to-back nights in Dublin, Ireland.

About Morgan Wallen:
When 11-time 2023 Billboard Music Awards-winner and Top Male Artist Morgan Wallen released his third studio albumOne Thing At A Time in 2023, its instant success left The New York Times proclaiming Wallen as “one of the biggest stars in pop, period.” One Thing At A Time has remained atop the all-genre Billboard 200 chart for 19 non-consecutive weeks, surpassing Garth Brooks’ Ropin’ the Wind with the most weeks at No. 1 for a Country album, and was the most-streamed album of the year on Spotify. The album’s 6x-Platinum single “Last Night” reeled in over 1.5 billion streams globally, becoming the most-streamed song of any genre in the U.S. across Apple Music and Spotify, and the longest running No. 1 solo song in Hot 100 history (16 weeks total). Recent collab with Post Malone, “I Had Some Help,” debuted at country radio with 167 first week adds, becoming only the second single in chart history to debut with the support of all reporting stations, opening at No. 15 on the Mediabase charts. Since its release, “I Had Some Help” has remained No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 all-genre charts for six weeks, becoming the longest-running No.1 of 2024.
 
With 14 chart-toppers at country radio, Wallen played for 5 countries/3 continents in 2023 for his One Night At A Time World Tour stadium tour. Performing to over 2.4 million fans, One Night At A Time was named a Pollstar and Billboard Country Tour of the Year, surpassing attendance records in numerous stops; including Ohio Stadium, where Wallen became the largest weekend ever for the venue. The 36-show 2024 extension of One Night At A Time takes Wallen to 24 additional stadium-plays, and will include Wallen’s first European run with seven shows this fall. Wallen donates a portion from every ticket sold to his Morgan Wallen Foundation.

The pride of Philadelphia, Mississippi has earned his reputation as “a promising purveyor of keeping the spirit of classic heavy Southern rock alive” (American Songwriter), “capable of writing the big hits for radio, obstinate enough to do something completely unexpected, and savvy enough to find the throughline for it all” (Rolling Stone). A five-time ACM award winner and two-time CMA award winner, HARDY has also won three CMA Triple Play awards, was named the 2022 BMI Country Songwriter of the Year and is a three-time AIMP Songwriter of the Year. HARDY has written 16 #1 singles including his own two-times Platinum chart topper “ONE BEER” featuring Lauren Alaina and Devin Dawson, the platinum Dierks Bentley and BRELAND collaboration “Beers On Me,” game-changing two-times Platinum duet “wait in the truck” feat.
