ABOUT KREATOR
 
Decades into their game-changing career, German metal legends Kreator find themselves more successful and influential than ever. They’ve stuck to their guns, weathered the trends, and outlasted their peers – never once wavering from the ferocious noise that excited them as teens. If anything, that thirst for sonic warfare is just as strong, if not stronger, today. Where others have suffered from creative malnourishment and artistic uncertainty, something which even metal’s biggest and best are prone to, Kreator have always charged full steam ahead – thanks to the red-eyed conviction and fearless determination of founding singer and guitarist Miland ‘Mille’ Petrozza. On the 1985 debut Endless Pain, the Essen innovators created the template for extreme noise to come, fusing elements of thrash and black metal in ways that had never been heard before. Their sophomore album of the following year, Pleasure To Kill, became one of the landmark albums of 1986 – making metal history alongside key releases from Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth. And onwards they marched, bringing hellish anthems to the masses in every album that followed, with a track record few could ever rival.
 
The last decade has been a particularly exciting time for the group, with 2012’s Phantom Antichrist proving how they could embrace modern production techniques and move with the times without forsaking the underground spirit and defiance that made them a household name in the first place. Its successor, 2017’s Gods Of Violence, saw them topping the German charts for the very first time in their career, a feat virtually unheard for a band of such thunderous intensity.

They returned in 2022 with their fifteenth opus Hate Über Alles – which marked their first studio album with Frédéric Leclercq (ex-Dragonforce, Sinsaenum) on bass, joining Mille, guitarist Sami Yli-Sirniö and drummer Jürgen ‘Ventor’ Reil – the metal titans are once again channeling an unholy heaviness strong enough to tilt the earth off-axis.

BEWITCHER Drops New Music Video for "Spell Shock," New Album Out Today

All the best tunes belong to the Devil, and Portland’s bastard sons BEWITCHER have returned to take back rock n’ roll in Baphomet’s name. In honor of today's release of the band's new studio album,, 'Spell Shock,' BEWITCHER is revealing an ominous new music video for the title track! The clip was created by lucamainardi.graphics with band footage by A. Magus and art direction inspired by SoloMacello, who created the stunning artwork of the album. Watch below.

Says bassist A. Magus on the unholy genesis of the new album, "'Spell Shock’ is the product of playing 130 shows in a row and then going straight into writing and recording,” Indeed, BEWITCHER’s unrelenting tour grind for their 2021’s 'Cursed Be Thy Kingdom,' alongside the likes of Municipal Waste, Goatwhore, Cavalera and Exhumed became the fuel for their finest moment to date. “Spell Shock” lives up to its title. It’s riffs, filth and fury at their most demonic and rebellious.

Joining frontman Mateo Von Bewitcher, bassist A. Magus, and drummer A. Hunter in the studio

Joining Von Bewitcher, bassist A. Magus, and drummer A. Hunter in the studio this time was none other longtime BEWITCHER fan Lars Frederiksen. Most of the world knows Frederiksen as a force in his own right, playing in the likes of Bay Area punk heroes Rancid, as well as his own Old Firm Casuals. While to some, it may have been an unlikely pairing with Frederiksen taking the producer’s seat, for everyone in the studio the connection was immediate.

As Frederiksen previously commented on 'Spell Shock': "It’s the best record I’ve ever produced for one of the best bands in the world."

Magus explains about their experience with Frederiksen: “[Lars’] knowledge of heavy metal, black metal and thrash – as well as punk, is vast and extreme. It was definitely a match made in hell.'

From 'Spell Shock's' pummeling first invocation, “Starfire Maelstrom,” BEWITCHER stake a bloody claim on making a metal record that’s equally classic and contemporary. With them, classic is undeniably key. “We kept coming back to classic heavy metal records for inspiration,” says Magus. “What we got was our take on classic 80’s metal records using the tools we have today.” The band also credits engineer and mixer Chris Dugan, best known for his work with Green Day (Yes, Green Day, but listen to those guitars!), for nailing 'Spell Shock’s' energized rawness. “We’ve always tried to be an old school band, without being or sounding like a retro or trad metal band,” adds Von Bewitcher.

'Spell Shock' is BEWITCHER at their most evolved and most devastatingly primal. “We wanted it to be an album experience,” says drummer A. Hunter. “Imagine King Diamond’s 'Abigail' in terms of atmosphere merged with the energy of AC/DC’s 'High Voltage.'”

In addition, BEWITCHER will be exclusively releasing the new single, "The Warrior Trail," via the Decibel Magazine Flexi Series and will be available in the magazine's latest issue with a deluxe subscription! Order HERE.

'Spell Shock' is out now Century Media Records and can be found HERE.

In addition, BEWITCHER is currently on an extensive North American tour, in which they are co-headlining with label-mates SKELETAL REMAINS. The full itinerary can be found below while tickets can be found HERE.

Since their formation in 2013, Bewitcher has seen their signature “Black Magick Metal” sound go from humble beginnings to new heights of creativity and wild anthemic fervor. A small collection of long out-of-print demo tapes kicked off what has proven to be an enduring line of ripping studio albums, singles and EPs. They have earned a reputation as one of the hardest working touring acts around, bringing their volcanic, high energy live shows to every corner of North America and parts abroad.

From its eye-grabbing-and-gouging artwork by Italian horror maestro Solo Macello, to songs like the haunting “We Die in Dust,” to the epic closing track “Ride of the Iron Fox” (“That’s BEWITCHER’s Dokken song!” laughs A. Hunter.) Spell Shock is BEWITCHER at their most evolved and most devastatingly primal. “We wanted it to be an album experience,” says drummer A. Hunter. “Imagine King Diamond’s Abigail in terms of atmosphere merged with the energy of AC/DC’s High Voltage.”

OCEANS - Release New Album 'HAPPY'

The new studio album by German nu-metal band OCEANS sees the light of day today! 
The band's third album, entitled HAPPY, comprises 11 new songs, including the two previously released singles, and is available now. The album thematically deals with the topics of mental health and the negative phases in life. The album name HAPPY functions more likely as a destination state. The band gives free rein to their emotions and describes in their usual musical rigor everything that goes wrong in this world and needs to be improved in order to finally reach the state of mind 'Happy'.

OCEANS have also delivered a brand new music video for the title track 'Happy', which you can witness below.

Bass player Thomas Winkelmann comments: 

"With HAPPY we go harder and more uncompromising than ever before. In the sometimes very interchangeable mishmash of metal/deathcore bands out there, we tried to create our own sound without imposing limits on ourselves in the process."

TOUR DATES

Just in time for their new album release , OCEANS are going on tour. As support for labelmatesSEPTICFLESH, the nu-metallers will be playing several shows all through Europe. From October 3rd to November 2nd, catch OCEANS along with SEPTICFLESH, EQUILIBRIUM and SCAR OF THE SUN as they blaze through 28 electrifying concerts across 13 countries.

MODERN PRIMITIVE TOUR 2024 like never before!

About:

Germany’s Nu Death powerhouse OCEANS are back with unprecedented ferocity since their debut EP in 2018. Brace yourself for their third album HAPPY, a colossal juggernaut that once again showcases the band's ability to seamlessly fuse Nu Metal, Death Metal and Post Rock into their own signature sound. The days of subtle introversion seem to be over. As the world faces one crisis after another, OCEANS are channeling their frustration at the state of the world into a bold statement against the influence of social media on society, while staying true to their mission of promoting mental health awareness. This band has never sounded as angry as they do now, and these 11 songs are impressive proof of how well that emotion suits them. Surely this is also what convinced Australia's finest, keyboardist MISSTIQ and Josh Collard from EARTH CALLER, to take part as feature artists on two tracks. OCEANS ’previous album Hell Is Where The Heart Is put the band on the road with international acts like BLIND CHANNEL in 2022, as well as supporting ANNISOKAY in 2024. It’s safe to say that HAPPY will ignite massive mosh pits on their upcoming extensive European tour with SEPTICFLESH in October 2024.

OCEANS is:
Timo Rotten | vocals, guitar
Patrick Zarske | guitar
Thomas Winkelmann | bass
J.F. Grill | drums

The Moody Blues’ John Lodge “Performs Days of Future Passed” November Tour Dates on Sale TODAY Playing the entire iconic album plus CLASSIC HITS

John Lodge, legendary bass player, songwriter and vocalist of The Moody Blues, and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, will be back on tour in November 2024 in the USA!  Following the critically acclaimed and sold out shows earlier this year, John is continuing in his celebration of ‘The Moody Blues’ music, and the iconic album ‘Days of Future Passed’, and is delighted to be bringing his show to new audiences in the USA. The short run will start in Clarksburg, WV on Nov 12, and end in Royal Oak, MI on Nov 19, and the tour will then recommence in February 2025. All dates go on sale today, Sept 27th, and special VIP packages are available that include a special personalized hello video from John, together with Limited Edition Merchandise and a Great Seat! Ticket link here.

The electrifying show, ‘Performs Days of Future Passed’ encompasses a first set of Moodies classics featuring fan favorites such as ‘Isn’t Life Strange’, ‘Legend of a Mind’, ‘I’m Just a Singer (in a Rock and Roll Band)’ and ‘Ride my See-Saw’. The second set sees John and his rocking band perform ‘Days of Future Passed’ in full symphonic splendor, and with incredible renditions of ‘Nights in White Satin’ and ‘Tuesday Afternoon’. The show also includes mesmerizing video to create a fully immersive experience as John, and his band, take the audience on a journey back in time. John’s stories, the incredible vocal harmonies, the passionate musicianship, and the loving recreation of this groundbreaking album, all wrap around the listener, creating Moodies magic that stays with them for long after the music fades.

Some of the Moodies most loved songs were composed and sung by John, such as ‘Isn’t Life Strange’, and ‘Ride My See-Saw’, and these are brought into the show with a new passion by John and his band. He also performs his heartfelt renditions of songs written by Mike Pinder and Ray Thomas. Graeme Edge appears on screen for a very special video, reciting his poems, ‘Morning Glory’ and ‘Late Lament’. And to complete this special evening, Jon Davison of YES performs “Nights in White Satin”, “Tuesday Afternoon”, and other classic Hayward-penned hits. Jon has been the lead singer of YES since 2012, and brings his soaring vocals and passion to these classic songs. Jon is also John’s son-in-law, and seeing them together on stage gives a glimpse into their deep friendship.

“In crafting this show, I wanted to ensure there was a place for all my Moodies bandmates. It’s a joy to perform not only my own songs but those of my friends Ray and Mike, and to hear Jon sing Justin’s songs. But my greatest joy is seeing Graeme up on stage with me, it never stops being emotional. My hope is that we can all take a trip down days of future passed together, and that audiences will leave feeling as if something joyful happened to them. It’s been a tough year, but thanks to the love of my family, and the support of my fans, I’m delighted to be back on the road, so thank you all for keeping the faith.”

As Beneath a Desert Sky said, 'a must see show if you love classic progressive rock music or The Moody Blues music'

‘Days of Future Passed’ was released 56 years ago, and was arguably the start of progressive rock.  These songs began the long standing cross-over between rock and classical music, and the Moody Blues shows were always known for recreating this incredible sound, and for the wonderful atmosphere enjoyed by both those on stage, and in the audience. John has surrounded himself with a band that are equally passionate, who put simply, love performing together, and who appreciate and respect the legacy of the music. The Moodies may not perform any more, and the loss of Graeme, Ray and Mike is felt deeply, but this show honors John’s friends and the music.

The electrifying show will also be in support of John’s album ‘Days of Future Passed – My Sojourn’, available now on CD and all streaming services, with limited edition 180g coloured vinyl also available.

https://slinky.to/DaysOfFuturePassed

Joining John on stage is his ‘10,000 Light Years Band’, comprised of long term collaborator Alan Hewitt (Music Director and Keyboards) and Billy Ashbaugh (Drums) from the Moody Blues touring band, together with Duffy King (Guitars) and Jason Charboneau (Cello).  Jon Davison of YES will also be joining him for his special renditions of ‘Nights in White Satin’ and ‘Tuesday Afternoon’, plus the magical voice of Graeme Edge.

‘If you love The Moody Blues music, then you really need to checkout John live.  He and the band put on a great show!’

John Lodge is bass guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter for the iconic Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame 2018 inductees, The Moody Blues. Songwriter of such mega Moody Blues hits from “Ride My See-Saw,” to “I’m Just A Singer (In A Rock and Roll Band),” “Isn’t Life Strange” and many more.  Lodge has been performing and recording with The Moody Blues for more than five decades, selling in excess of 70 million albums, as well as releasing his three solo albums ‘Natural Avenue’, ’10,000 Light Years Ago’ and ‘B Yond’.  Lodge has been voted one of the “10 most influential bass players on the planet,” and has been the recipient of many awards, including ASCAP (American Society of Composers and Publishers), an Ivor Novello Award, a Lifetime Achievement Award from Prog Magazine, to name just a few.

PALEFACE SWISS Announce Third Full-Length Album 'Cursed'; Drop New Single "Hatred"

Switzerland's titans of brutality, Paleface Swiss, are back with a vengeance! Today, the band unveils their brutal new single, "HATRED", alongside the official announcement of their highly anticipated third full-length album, ‘Cursed’, set to drop January 3rd, 2025. Fans can experience the full, savage force of the new single and its accompanying music video by streaming the track HERE and watching the music video below. Pre-order your copy of 'Cursed' HERE.

"HATRED", the album's ferocious lead single, delivers everything fans have come to love from Paleface Swiss: relentlessly visceral intensity, Zelli’s instantly recognizable, rapid fire rap-style vocals, Yannick Lehmann's insane thrash-inspired solos and ten-ton heavy nu-metal-esque riffs and the pummeling rhythmic backbone of Tommy Lee's basslines and Cassiano "Cassi'" Toma's drumming, providing lightening fast blast beats and brutal beatdowns. Speaking on the track, Marc "Zelli" Zellweger shares

“When you’re a kid growing up, you're happy and you think everything is cool, but nowadays, every time you open your phone, it’s just a flood of negativity. We’re bombarded with so much bad news every day that finding anything positive feels nearly impossible. ‘Hatred’ is us venting our frustration about the things we can’t change. It may not be as deep as the other tracks on the album, but it’s for everyone who’s fed up with the constant negativity in the world. For the music video, we wanted to keep it simple and raw—a no-nonsense, old-school performance video with us going as hard as we can in a room. There are, however, a few easter eggs hidden in there that will make more sense as we release more videos from this album.”

"Hatred" also begins with album intro track, "Un Pobre Niño Murió", a reimagining of a song the band heard for the first time when they decamped to Tenerife, where their close friend and tour manager, Ron Steven Deris, lives, to write their new record. Elaborating on the story, "Zelli" continues

“We went to Ron’s place in Tenerife, and every morning and every evening we had breakfast and dinner together. We always listened to vinyl while eating, and one evening he pulled out a Canary Islands folklore vinyl with very old songs—like all of the artists on these songs had been dead for many years—and this song came on with just one woman singing by herself. It’s supposed to be a children’s lullaby, but it was actually scary. The lyrics are the complete opposite of a lullaby.”

‘Cursed’ is a masterclass in modern brutality and encapsulates two years of creative exploration and raw personal experiences for the Paleface Swiss members. The band retreated to the seclusion of the Canary Islands to craft this sonic juggernaut. Collaborating with Ron Steven Deris at Misueno Studios and with long-time collaborator Florent Salfati (Landmvrks) helping to add the finishing touches, their work culminated in an album that marries the band’s signature heaviness with intricate conceptual storytelling. Zelli goes on to share:  

"This time we wanted to keep it simple and follow the lead of the big guys, taking the necessary time for it. However, it was still an exhausting process. I’m overjoyed with the result and can’t wait to unleash our first concept album upon the world."

The album features nine tracks, each paired with a specific flower on the album artwork that represents a different struggle, forming a bouquet of beauty and darkness that mirrors the band's tumultuous experiences. Zelli elaborates:  

“This record is for sure our most personal one so far. We've always written about topics like mental health, but we’ve usually written about people who are really close to us. On this record there wasn’t really much space for stories from other people. Between the time when we released "Fear & Dagger "and writing this record, there were periods when this is how we all felt. I’d say 80% of these two years were filled with so much happiness and joy, which I’m really thankful for, but the few dark days that we had ARE this record.”

To celebrate the release of ‘Cursed’ at the top of 2025, Paleface Swiss is gearing up to take their monstrous sound across North America with their biggest US Headline Tour to date. The tour kicks off on March 20th, 2025, in Detroit, MI, and will cover 30 cities, including Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto. Fans can expect blistering performances packed with the band's signature groove-laden riffs, unrelenting energy, and Zelli's insane vocal acrobatics. Full tour dates and tickets are available HERE. Speaking on the upcoming tour, Zelli enthuses  

"We can’t wait to return for a bigger US headlining tour... I would love to be sitting on the tour bus tomorrow. But like the cheese Switzerland is famous for, this also has to mature well first"

ABOUT PALEFACE SWISS

Since the release of their first album, 'Chapter 3: The Last Selection', independent outfit, PALEFACE SWISS have gained international recognition throughout the Deathcore and Beatdown Community. Known for their huge, aggressive riffs, brutally bombastic rhythm section, frontman, Zelli's outstanding vocals and a pinch of humor. This is Switzerland’s finest heavy music. Across their catalog, the band have gained 110 million streams, 21 million YouTube views on their own channel, and recently peaked at 1 million Spotify monthly listeners.

‘Chapter 3: The Last Selection’ was released on October 30th 2020, spawning four huge tracks “Curse Us”, “The Rats”, "Lights Out" and “Skalpell” which quickly ranked high in the beatdown/hardcore charts and saw the band become cover stars on Spotify’s Heavy Beatdown playlist.

In 2022 the band released their second full-length album 'Fear & Dagger'. The album was widely considered a huge step up for the band as plaudits began to roll in for frontman Zelli's vocal ability and the band's unflinching commitment to never shy away from brutally heavy riffs, face-melting technically insane guitar solos, punishing beatdowns or from facing difficult, emotional topics head on. Metal Injectionaccurately summed it up in their review by saying, "It's fun to get caught up in Paleface's unrelenting instrumentals, but Zelli's really the star of Paleface. This is largely because he treats his screams like rap bars." New Transcendence stating "Paleface have created one of the most emotionally relevant and intriguing beatdown releases to date" and Wall of Sound calling it "an unashamedly brutal and angry album".

The album shot the band into the upper echelons of the "New Wave Of Deathcore" and spawned singles "The Orphan", "Deathtouch", "Dead Man's Diary" feat. LANDMVRKS frontman Florent Salfati and fan favourite and stylistic curveball, "My Grave / Lay with Me". The album focused on more mature and critical topics related to the fears and struggles young people have to contend with in the 21st century, most importantly, the topic of mental health.

The ensuing 2 years saw the band's popularity sky-rocket. Honing their craft in the live arena, the band rapidly jumped from strength to strength, creating what is now one of the most thrilling and impactful live shows in modern metal. Their ability to win over any crowd, wether it be their own headline shows, touring the US with the likes of Body Snatcher or The Ghost Inside, touring the UK with the likes of Counterparts and Kublai Khan or at globally renowned festivals such as Sick New World, Hellfest Open Air, Summer Breeze, Cabaret Vert, Dynamo Metal Festival and more, one thing is for sure, Paleface Swiss will turn an audience into fans by the time they're done at every show they play.

To support their largely sold-out touring efforts, the band released a series of stand alone singles, "Best: Before Death" - now a staple and firm fan favourite in their live set list, "Please End Me" and "The Gallow".

Now, with the impending release of their third full-length album, 'Cursed', Paleface Swiss are set to write the next chapter or their incredible, epic journey as they reveal their most thematically and sonically ambitious album to date. Never pulling punches when it comes to heaviness, technicality or emotional vulnerability, Paleface Swiss are rewriting the rulebook on what it means to be an extreme metal band.

GAEREA Reach Dynamic New Heights on "Suspended"

"As someone who's already heard Coma in full, you're getting a glimpse at one of the best metal records of 2024" - Metal Injection

"One of extreme music's most commanding, compelling forces" - Knotfest 

"...separates itself from the pack thanks to hearty doses of dark melody, top notch production and skilled songwriting" - Decibel

"...builds upon itself until the sound and fury can’t be contained any longer, spilling over itself with raging vocals and pounding blast beats".- Metal Sucks

"Terrifying at times, but beautiful, almost like life" - New Noise

"Gaerea really aren’t like the other black metal bands...If you have any care for music as heartrending as it is heavy, this is a must-listen" - Angry Metal Guy

"...increasingly wizard-like and meteorically rising" - No Clean Singing

Gaerea thrive on the purging of raw emotions, but on their upcoming fourth album, the Portuguese masked sensations prove that they're no longer just a black metal band. With Coma, they're surfacing to the top of extreme metal.

While produced by their trusted confidant Miguel Tereso, Coma expands Gaerea's signature sound by pulling it in two seemingly opposing directions. "Suspended" is haunted by moments of intense beauty. The band's new single is accompanied by a video that's both stunning and soul-stirring. But the pensive moments only heighten its crushing blows.  

Watch the stunning, slow motion video for "Suspended" below.

Coma comes out October 25, 2024 on Season of Mist. 

Pre-order & Pre-save: https://orcd.co/gaereacoma

With its sharp and slithering riffs, Gaerea's previous single spiked the anticipation for Coma to an almost unbearable degree. "Suspended" holds their captive audience in even greater suspense. Like a spider weaving its web, the somber, opening guitar melody unfolds with great care before the booming blast beats swallow you into the band's inescapable vortex. 

"I stand at a fateful divide / where choices collide", their tortured vocalist screams as if dangling from the grip of a soul-wrenching vice. "Hell breaks loose".

The never-ending maze that Gaerea dared us to enter during the album's first official single is obscured by an even thicker haze on "Suspended". But the band stay clear of any stylistic dead ends. The blindingly fast tremolo picking suddenly relents, opening up a post-rock passage that twinkles like a dying star. "No words can explain why I chose as I did", their vocalist sings in one great, long mournful sigh.

"Suspended" stands as the first song in Gaerea's mantle-worthy discography to feature clean singing, but the soft shift only sets up the song's final knockout. All at once, the riffs, blasts and screams come roaring back into the fray behind an elevated gothic choir, bringing the band's level of despair to crushing new heights. 

The video for "Suspended" was created by Guilherme Henriques.

To usher in this new era, Gaerea are touring behind Coma later this year. The masked sensations will return to North America in November with Zeal & Ardor and ZETRA.

The beauty of Gaerea lies in the directness and simplicity found within their florid tapestry of extremity and aggression. Whether it is in the less-polished aural dynamite of Mirage, or in the lustrous textures of Coma, Gaerea is building a mighty edifice of metal. With talons dipped in the inky blood of black metal and scraped across the flesh of human suffering, Gaerea is leading a charge into the future of darkness, and all those who find beauty and power in the dark side of existence would do well to take heed.

MOUTH FOR WAR UNLEASHES "THE EARTH'S COLD EMBRACE" VIDEO/SINGLE

Colorado’s favorite metalcore practitioners MOUTH FOR WAR today drop their punishing new standalone single, “The Earth's Cold Embrace” with an accompanying video. At once ominous and pit-propelling from its first note, the track stands among the band’s heaviest work to date.  
 
Comments MOUTH FOR WAR vocalist Trae Roberts, "‘The Earth's Cold Embrace’ is the next step in musical evolution for MOUTH FOR WAR. We're bringing in lots of new elements while still maintaining the influences that brought this band together. We were very stoked to bring in [producer] Josh Schroeder to really bring this new track to life.

“The track is based on a dream I had on tour that really messed with my head for a few days. It was essentially a storyline where I killed someone in a private setting, then proceeded to be stalked by a crowd of people that knew what I had done until ultimately being forced to shoot myself. I tried to embody the mood of the dream in the instrumental of this track before even implementing lyrical content. We were lucky enough that our friend Dave hooked us up with this underground nuclear missile complex to shoot the video, which was incredibly fitting to the eerie vibe of the song. Hopefully you all love the new track as much as we do.”

Following their recent September run of headlining shows as well as a performance at this year’s edition the New England Metal And Hardcore Fest, MOUTH FOR WAR will join Norma Jean for a portion of their tour with Teeth this November.

22x platinum, GRAMMY-nominated rockers SKILLET are partnering with VET TIX to provide free concert tickets to veterans. Their latest digital track, "All That Matters," off their upcoming album REVOLUTION (11/1/24), has resonated loudly with military families, and in support of them for every preorder of REVOLUTION placed between Sept 25th and Oct 10th, 2024, Skillet will donate one concert ticket.  Additionally, the band will grant a Hero's Wish, where a specific event wish is granted to Active Duty Military Personnel (up to six months after their deployments), severely wounded Veterans (Purple Heart Required) or the families of men and women killed in action (KIA).

"Vet Tix is grateful for Skillet’s support of the Vet Tix mission," remarked Vet Tix Founder, CEO, and U.S. Navy veteran, Michael A. Focareto III.  "Their passion for creating music and performing live for their legions of fans, coupled with their generous donations to Vet Tix through this partnership exemplifies Skillet’s support for our veterans, military members, and their families."

"In 'All That Matters' I sing, 'my faith, my family, my freedom, that’s what’s backin’ me and gives me a reason for living, I gotta fight for what I believe in,'" says SKILLET lead singer John Cooper. "I think we're getting such strong feedback from military families because these words are what they live day in and day out - their entire lives are about fighting for what they believe in - fighting for our country, for their families and the rest of us as Americans.  We have loved playing shows at military bases, meeting these families and the brave men and women of the armed forces - I am thrilled we can partner with Vet Tix and do something to support them."

Miranda Lambert’s “Music for Mutts” benefit concert presented by Tractor Supply, set for Saturday, Oct. 5 at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater, will also be available via livestream powered by T-Mobile from 8:30-10:30 p.m. CT. Fans everywhere can tune into the livestream free-of-charge on both Lambert’s and MuttNation’s Facebook and YouTube channels, as well as on the Nugs.net website and YouTube channel.  
 
Having recently released her latest critically acclaimed album, Postcards from Texas, Lambert will share center stage with some of her favorite animal-loving friends including HARDY, Lukas Nelson and some very special surprise guests. Prior to the livestream, Jake Worthington will kick off what promises to be an exciting and fun-filled evening for a great cause – raising funds and visibility for shelter pets nationwide through Lambert’s nonprofit, MuttNation Foundation. 

“I’m thrilled that T-Mobile has made it possible for me to share the evening with my fans and all the animal lovers who couldn’t be at the show in person. It’s going to be a great night that I’ve been looking forward to for months,” said Lambert. “And we know that being able to share our love of music and animals with a wider audience will mobilize many more people to foster and adopt shelter pets. Thank you, T-Mobile!” 
 
Founded by Lambert alongside her mom, Bev, the 501c(3) nonprofit celebrating its 15th anniversary has raised over $10 million to date to promote adoption, support shelters across the country, advance spay & neuter and assist with the transport of animals during times of natural disaster – with MuttNation Foundation also recently announcing $230,000 year-to-date in emergency response funding given through the Relief for Rescues initiative.

In addition to the upcoming benefit concert, there will be a pre-show, open-to-the-public dog adoption event at Ascend Park, adjacent to the amphitheater on 1st Avenue, from 4-6 p.m. local time. Participating shelters include Crossroads Campus, Metro Animal Care & Control, Nashville Humane, Nashville Pittie, Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary, Wags & Walks and Williamson County Animal Center.

After independently releasing her music for many years, ENN marks Eivør’s debut for the metal label Season of Mist—and though her compositions sit outside of any one genre, she is happy to be embraced by the metal community. She identified a shared pagan sensibility in her television scores like The Last Kingdom. “I never felt I really fit into any box,” said Eivør. “I just have to do it my own way.” Recorded with her touring band in the Faroe Islands—where she now lives again, splitting time between her homeland and Denmark—Eivør called ENN “my most pleasurable and also most painful process. I felt that I was stepping into a place where I hadn’t been before, and that’s always scary because you don’t feel that you touch the ground. But it opens up your creativity and takes you to someplace new. It’s woven together all my experiences for the past 10 years, and it’s grounded me.”

New Jersey indie collective BARD presents 'Dread Not The Ferryman', a funk rock sonic tale heralding debut album

"This is masterful stuff... cohesive sounds that seem to typify American music, that mercurial blend of home-grown genres – a funky groove, a rock drive, scintillating soulfulness, and timeless and nostalgic blues runs – that seems quintessentially and identifiably from that place" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

"With a rich melodic and soulful quality, laced with infectious rhythms and laid-back vibes, this music makes for a captivating listening experience - the kind of track that makes you want to close your eyes, turn up the volume, and let the music wash over you" ~ Amplify Music Magazine

"A slight, purposeful, nostalgic touch that makes the music feel like a forgotten gem from that era... Reflecting the spirit of Lynyrd Skynyrd is a clinic in classic rock guitar technique, recalling of the genre’s great solos from the 1970s" ~ Skylight Webzine


New Jersey groovy rock-blues outfit BARD  (a.k.a. The BARD Band) release their new single 'Dread Not The Ferryman', taking listeners on a dark funkadelic journey through mythical realms and eerie encounters, showcasing BARD's versatility in storytelling and musical depth.

With its haunting narrative, dark themes and long jams, it portrays a world where mythical creatures like the demon fairy lurk, stealing teeth in the night. The eerie atmosphere intensifies as the story unfolds, from a diner scene with a mysterious figure to a tense encounter over stolen teeth. The repeated chorus, urging not to fear the ferryman, underscores a sense of impending doom and supernatural intrigue that sets this song apart from the album's other tracks.

This is the second taste of their debut album 'Angels Got His Back', out October 4 via the dynamic indie Montclair imprint Magic Door Records, following up the soulful title track 'Angels Got His Back'. Recorded, mixed & mastered at the state-of-the-art studio Magic Door Recording by Ray Ketchem (Guided by Voices, Elk City, Luna, Gramercy Arms), who has dubbed this "New Classic Rock:.

BARD was formed in 2017 by college friends Jamie Pagliaro (acoustic guitar, lead vocals) and Michael Schreiber (keyboard, organ, vocals), who had lost touch for two decades. The lineup grew to include Dave Menez (bass guitar, vocals), Mike Potenza(electric guitar, vocals) and David Kolk (drums, percussion, vocals), each bringing his own unique musical sensibilities. This fusion resulted in a rich texture of sounds, enhanced by a cohesive approach to dynamics, tone, and articulate sound mix.

"‘Dread Not the Ferryman’ delves into a haunting narrative where mythical creatures and eerie encounters blur the lines between reality and the supernatural. Through its chilling lyrics, the song explores themes of fate and the unseen forces that shape our destinies, inviting listeners into a world where every silver dollar carries a weight of secrets, and every encounter holds a hint of otherworldly danger," says Jamie Pagliaro.

A tribute to enduring love and hope that lights up even the darkest moments, this funky dark-themed track tenderly imagines a departed child now in the care of angels, playing and exploring in a heavenly realm. Surrounded by beauty and joy, he roams through eternal spring, safe and enlightened.

With a soulful groove-rock sound, BARD craft uplifting music that inspires and unites through a contagious rhythm. Initially drawing inspiration from Shakespeare, BARD's vision of setting poems to music quickly expanded to include works from poets like Robert Browning, Langston Hughes, in addition to original poems by Jamie Pagliaro. A product of their collaborative process, each member makes their own unique contribution to the structure and composition of each song.

BARD's music is as much inspired by soulful singers like Marvin Gaye and Van Morrison, the funky sounds of the Doobie Brothers and Grover Washington's jazz as they are by classic rock influences like Neil Young and The Band, the Allman Brothers' southern rock and the jam band style of the Grateful Dead, not to mention a touch of country sensibility.

In contrast to their 2002 debut EP 'Come Back Often', which leans on their indie-folk roots with elements of country and rock, BARD's new album represents an evolutionary step forward, highlighting the incorporation of funk and soul elements, while also allowing space for more improvisation and textured percussive elements.

From their inception to their evolving sound and dedicated live performances, BARD continues to build a dedicated following and make their mark in the music scene. Thriving on live performances, delighting diverse audiences at festivals, community events, breweries and coffee shops, they are known for their engaging shows, energizing audiences with positive vibes.

As of September 4, 'Dread Not the Ferryman' is available as a Bandcamp exclusive and, on September 10, will be released everywhere else (including Spotify and Apple Music), where the title track 'Angels Got His Back' can also be found. BARD's debut album is now available for pre-order via Bandcamp. The band's next performance is in Asbury, NJ on September 7 at Ironbound Farm.

Wallen’s Historic Neyland Stadium Double Wraps as Miranda Lambert, Darius Rucker Surprise + All Vol Walk Out

As East Tennessean Morgan Wallen concluded his two-show-run at Neyland Stadium – the sixth largest college football stadium in the U.S. – the current 7-time CMA Award nominee made history with Knoxville’s largest weekend on-record, totalling 156,161 fans across both nights. The tally surpasses the record previously held by The Jackson 5 across three shows in 1984 (148,407). 
 
Two-time Super Bowl champion and former University of Tennessee Knoxville (UTK) quarterback Peyton Manning joined for the second-of-two weekend walkouts, donning his retired college uniform – flanked by current UTK football coach Josh Heupel, quarterback Nico Iamaleava and wide receiver Bru McCoy – as their alma mater eagerly welcomed the All Vols walk-out back on their turf.
 
Transferring to a more intimate B-Stage toward the back of the venue for a stripped down performance of his 4x-Platinum rendition of Jason Isbell’s “Cover Me Up,” Wallen reflected on his career, which was first fostered in local bars throughout Knoxville, saying, “When me and the boys first started playing shows, we started out playing bars, real small venues. Worked our way up to places like Cotton Eyed Joe. Then we worked our way up to clubs, theaters, arenas and amphitheaters – we pretty much played any kind of venue there is, and all of a sudden you guys went and sold out Neyland today. Thank you.

“One thing that I miss though about the smaller shows is I could walk out on stage and I could look pretty much everybody in the eyes, so this is my attempt at trying to recreate some of that. To come back here and look some more of y’all in the eyes and say thank you for supporting me and my music.”
 
After “Cover Me Up,” Wallen welcomed his first-of-two surprise guests of the evening, Miranda Lambert, for a live performance of the No. 1 “Thought You Should Know,” which Lambert co-wrote alongside Wallen and Nicolle Galyon. Introducing Lambert to the audience, the East Tennessean shared, “Me and this next artist, we got together one day and wrote a few songs, and this is the first song we ever wrote. I brought this song into the room and I needed some help from a lady’s perspective to help me write a song for my mama.”
 
Returning to the main stage, Wallen once again welcomed HARDY and ERNEST for “Up Down” and “Cowgirls,” respectively, before singing cuts off of Dangerous: The Double Album, including “Talkin' Tennessee,” an homage to his roots which was added to his setlist only for his Neyland Stadium shows.
 
Two songs before the encore, three-time GRAMMY-Award-winner Darius Rucker surprised the crowd joining Wallen for a joint performance of his Diamond-certified rendition of “Wagon Wheel” to rousing reception. 
 
On Friday, Sept. 20, Wallen made his first weekend walk-out flanked by the 2024 National Champion Tennessee Volunteers baseball team and Coach Tony Vitello – trophy in hand. Later in the evening, Wallen welcomed the first entertainer he ever saw in concert in his hometown, Eric Church, to his acoustic stage for the Dangerous Church-penned cut “Quittin’ Time,” before being joined by  HARDY and ERNEST for “Up Down” and “Flower Shops”/“Cowgirls,” respectively, back on the main stage. 
 
Wallen also announced Friday his unreleased song “Love Somebody,” which was first added to his setlist during his European tour in August, will officially be released on Oct. 18. Pre-save “Love Somebody” HERE and read the full night one recap HERE.
 
In anticipation of the run, The Morgan Wallen Foundation donated $140k to Gibbs Youth Sports (GYS) Friday, Sept. 20 during a press conference held at Neyland Stadium. The donation will go toward renovating Ruritan Park, which serves students from Gibbs High School, where Wallen attended, and surrounding areas in Knox County, allowing GYS to rebuild the inside of the fieldhouse to offer indoor fielding and batting options for local recreation teams. Renovations include batting cages and machines, as well as pitching lanes and a fielding area. Currently there are no facilities like that in the Gibbs/Corryton area. 
 
Wallen has three shows remaining on his One Night At A Time 2024 tour, including one night at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium on Oct. 4, and two consecutive nights at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium on Oct. 18 and 19. For more information, visit MorganWallen.com.

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 collaboration 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. Since its release, “I Had Some Help” remained No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 all-genre charts for six weeks, becoming the longest-running No. 1 of 2024.
 
With 15 chart-toppers at country radio, Wallen played for 5 countries/3 continents in 2023 for his stadium One Night At A Time World Tour. Performing to over 2.4 million fans, One Night At A Time was named a Billboard and Pollstar 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 38-show 2024 extension of One Night At A Time has taken Wallen to 26 additional stadium-plays, and included his first European run with seven shows in five countries. Wallen donates a portion from every ticket sold to his Morgan Wallen Foundation.

Morgan Wallen at Neyland: National Champions+Eric Church Create Memorable Nt. 1

With “Welcome Home Morgan” signs and neon displays installed across the city in hotel lobbies, restaurants and bars, the anticipation of Morgan Wallen’s two nights at Neyland Stadium was palpable across Knoxville the days leading up to his homecoming. The East Tennessean matched their excitement from the jump as he charged down the gauntlet making his first-of-two weekend walk-outs flanked by the 2024 National Champion Tennessee Volunteers baseball team and Coach Tony Vitello – trophy in hand. Registering 114 decibels, the crowd of 70,000+ enthusiastically welcomed them all home.
 
Fans showed up early on Friday, Sept. 20 as gates opened at 4:30 pm, many donning orange and white, filling in both pits lining Wallen’s signature “MW” stage backed into the endzone. 
 
The current 7-time CMA Award nominee opened his 26-song set with upbeat “Ain’t That Some” and “I Wrote The Book” before stating how monumental this weekend is for him.
 
After pausing to take the moment in, Wallen shared, “I really appreciate that warm welcome, that means a lot to me. The last time I was in this stadium I was watching Tennessee kick Alabama’s ass. I can't think of a better way to follow it up than to be here playing two sold-out shows this weekend. This is one of the most special days of my entire life and I’m very glad you guys chose to spend this weekend here with me – it means a lot. 
 
“Before we get any further I want to make sure you make some noise for my band and crew who show up here early in advance to make sure we get to play the music y’all love. I have a lot of people here who mean a lot to me,” he added. “I’ve got my little boy here, both my grandmothers here, my mom, my dad, my sisters, my nieces. I have been very fortunate to do a lot of great things over the last few years, but I know that this right here is going to be extremely hard to top as one of the coolest things I’ve ever gotten to do. We’re gonna play a lot of songs tonight, I threw in a couple extra songs that I don’t normally play. I didn’t even ask about the curfew, so we’re just gonna play as long as we want to tonight.”
 
Wallen once again added his unreleased song “Love Somebody” to the setlist for the night, revealing its release date to fans from the stage. Pre-save “Love Somebody,” out Friday, Oct. 18, HERE. Twelve-songs-in, Wallen welcomed the first entertainer he ever saw in concert in his hometown, Eric Church, to his acoustic stage for the Dangerous cut “Quittin’ Time,” before being joined by  HARDY and ERNEST for “Up Down” and “Flower Shops”/“Cowgirls,” respectively, back on the main stage. 
 
Over two hours in, the electrifying show came to an appropriate close with a full-fledged fireworks show as he concluded with “The Way I Talk,” and with the crowd repeating “I just live the way I talk.” 
 
In anticipation of the run, The Morgan Wallen Foundation donated $140k to Gibbs Youth Sports (GYS) yesterday during a press conference held at Neyland Stadium. The donation will go toward renovating Ruritan Park, which serves students from Gibbs High School, where Wallen attended, and surrounding areas in Knox County, allowing GYS to rebuild the inside of the fieldhouse to offer indoor fielding and batting options for local recreation teams. Renovations include batting cages and machines, as well as pitching lanes and a fielding area. Currently there are no facilities like that in the Gibbs/Corryton area. 
 
Wallen returns to Neyland this Sunday, Sept. 22 for a second sold-out show with HARDY and ERNEST.

Kublai Khan TX Unleash New Album 'Exhibition Of Prowess' via Rise Records + Release "Mud" Visualizer

Texan titans Kublai Khan TX have released their new album 'Exhibition Of Prowess' (via Rise Records), the band's fifth album and first full-length since 2019's 'Absolute'. In celebration of the release, the quartet dropped the official visualizer for their track "Mud" taken from the album. Speaking about the track, vocalist Matt Hunnycutt commented:

"'Mud' is the scissors slowly closing in on the final thread keeping sanity intact. Entrenched and trapped with nowhere to go but deeper underground. Reflections and thoughts mirroring a man’s will to survive in a world obsessed with extinction. Low-tech, primordial soundwaves. Sludge-covered, sun-blistered frequencies of war and peace. "Mud" is mankind."

Leading up to today, the quartet released "Theory Of Mind", "Low Tech" and most recently, "Supreme Ruler" which altogether have clocked up over 15 million streams and counting on Spotify and 2.5 million views on YouTube. 'Exhibition Of Prowess' is available now on all streaming platforms at the link here, and watch the "Mud" official visualizer below.

SEVEN HOURS AFTER VIOLET Drop New Single/Music Video - "Alive"

Seven Hours After Violet, the groundbreaking heavy metal band fronted by Shavo Odadjian of System of a Down, has just dropped their electrifying new single, “Alive.” The track, which continues to showcase the band’s unique blend of heavy music and melodic sensibility, is available now on all major streaming platforms, accompanied by a stunning music video. Stream "Alive" HERE. Watch the official music video Below. Pre-Order the debut album, 'Seven Hours After Violet' HERE.

“Alive” is the latest offering from the band’s highly anticipated self-titled debut album, set to release on October 11th, 2024, through 1336 Records, Shavo’s joint label venture with Sumerian Music Group. They exploded into existence back in June with the release of their debut single 'Paradise' garnering much praise and excitement from both fans and critics alike. "Paradise" was followed by second single, the gloriously ethereal "Radiance" last month, which showcased a different side of the band's arsenal and gave a glimpse of the incredible dynamism featured on their upcoming debut full-length. "Alive" furthers the unique sonic world building of Seven Hours After Violet.

Speaking on the project's third single, Shavo shares:

"Alive" dives deep into the duality of pain and vitality, where suffering becomes a twisted reminder of existence. It’s about the dark thrill of feeling alive through intense emotions, even when they blur the line between ecstasy and despair. A haunting space where agony and empowerment collide.”

Seven Hours After Violet is an alternative metal supergroup assembled by Shavo, featuring Taylor Barber (vocalist of Left to Suffer), Morgoth (multi-platinum producer and guitarist of Winds of Plague), Alejandro Aranda (Scarypoolparty and American Idol), and Josh Johnson (drummer of Winds of Plague). The band emerged from a chance encounter between Shavo and Morgoth in early 2022 and rapidly became an unstoppable force of creativity and experimentation that evolved from a potential solo project into a full-fledged band. Their upcoming self-titled debut album is the result of some of the best, most talented minds in heavy music coming together to create something limitless and exceptional.

A variety of pre-order merch bundles for Seven Hours After Violet's self-titled debut are available now by clicking HERE

Seven Hours After Violet will play their first ever live show at this year's recently announced Mayhem Fest, taking place at the Glen Helen Amphitheatre in San Bernardino on October 12th. For tickets and further information, head to mayhemfest.com

Stay tuned for more from Seven Hours After Violet as they continue to push the boundaries of heavy music.

About Seven Hours After Violet

When the universe aligns, magic happens. This was certainly the case when Shavo Odadjian, the legendary bass player of System of a Down, crossed paths with platinum-selling producer, songwriter and guitarist, Morgoth at a party on 2.22.22. Their initial sessions were a spontaneous combustion of creativity, transforming from a potential solo venture into a full-fledged band. “We wrote a song right away. It wasn’t like any writing session I had been part of before, riffs were just flowing out of me without me even having to try. Every time I felt like I couldn't write anything. Morgoth would hand me a guitar and say, “go, go, go”. I needed that, you know? I needed someone to push me when I wasn't pushing myself. ” Shavo recalls. As music continued to pour out in torrents, with Shavo writing and performing all the guitar and bass parts and Morgoth producing and providing the beats, atmospherics and FX, Morgoth suggested they turn it into a Shavo solo project. However, with his eye now firmly set on the live arena, Shavo decided to create a full band.

Finding the right vocal talent to compliment the musical landscape created by Shavo and Morgoth was crucial. Morgoth’s recommendation of Taylor Barber from Left to Suffer was a game-changer. Shavo was blown away: “He was singing in falsetto one minute and growling the next—it was ridiculous. He became the singer because he knocked every song out of the park.” With Shavo on bass and Morgoth on guitar, the band also brought in Morthgoth’s Winds Of Plague band mate, Josh Johnson on drums and Alejandro Aranda, known for his solo project Scarypoolparty and as runner-up on American Idol, as lead guitarist and backing vocalist.

Once the new music was complete, mixed by Zach Jones and mastered by Maor Applebaum, Shavo partnered with Ash Avildsen,founder and CEO of Sumerian Music Group to create the brand new joint label venture 1336 Records, with Seven Hours After Violet being the first singing.

LOLITSLEA Releases New Single + Video "Exit Plan" Featuring Tom Denney

Friday, lolitslea released "Exit Plan" featuring guest guitar riffage from Tom Denney.

Lyrically and musically, it is a homage to nostalgia and youth as lolitslea taps into the 2008 punk and post-hardcore influences that are synonymous with the era and pines for the simplicity of her youth. The track showcases her vocal range with a soaring chorus and packs a punch with an A Day To Remember-esque breakdown provided by the band's ex-guitarist Tom Denney himself.

When asked about the song, lolitslea says, "'Exit Plan' runs circles around the themes of liminal spaces, the backrooms, and realizing life will never be what it was back in 2008. Where my biggest regret in life was selling my Nintendo DS to a local pawn shop. This tune was co-produced and co-written by Tom Denney, formally from A Day To Remember."

 lolitslea is the epitome of bright, nostalgia-driven music for today's youth (imagine if Artist Vs Poet or Hey Monday came out in 2024). Growing up in the small, yet touristy beach town of Point Pleasant, NJ, lolitslea was homegrown from all kinds of music from the Asbury Park alternative scene and Warped Tour era. The neon-pop punk bangers on her upcoming album "NOTHING LASTS FOREVER!" are relatable, danceable, and oh-so-fun!

LOLITSLEA 2024 TOUR DATES:
10/9 —  Philadelphia, PA —  The Rotunda
10/10 —  Asbury Park, NJ —  Bond Street Bar
10/11 —  Baltimore, MD —  Zen West
10/12 —  Raleigh, NC —  Kings
10/15 —  Orlando, FL —  Will's Pub
10/18 —  Atlanta, GA —  Smith's Olde Bar
10/19 —  Murfreesboro, TN —  1507 Diana St

ABOUT LOLITSLEA:
Growing up in the small, yet touristy beach town of Point Pleasant, New Jersey, lolitslea was homegrown from every and all kinds of music that came out of the Asbury Park alternative scene and Warped Tour era. The independent artist has intertwined the boldness of punk and the colors of pop to bring back the bright sounds of the Neon Pop Punk scene we all grew to love in the mid-2000s.
