Killswitch Engage Announce New Album "This Consequence" + Band Shares "Forever Aligned" Video — WATCH❗

Three-time Grammy-nominated hard rock heavyweights and platinum-selling band Killswitch Engage — Jesse Leach, vocals; Adam Dutkiewicz, guitar; Joel Stroetzel, guitar; Mike D'Antonio, bass; and Justin Foley, drums — are pleased to announce their new album THIS CONSEQUENCE. It arrives February 21 via. Metal Blade. Pre-order it here. 

The band  has also shared the video for first single "Forever Aligned." Watch it below. 

"'Forever Aligned' is one of those songs that is not just about us as humans, our love, and connection, but that connection to the unknown, the greater power, the universe, or God," explains Leach. "It feels like a really good first song to release not just sonically, but lyrically, as it is all about connection. The device of world we live in could use a lot more connectivity."

Regarding the album, Leach continues, "This Consequence, to me, is the combination of everything the past five years has thrown at us as a band, as humans, and society as a whole. This album is just as much about everybody and their stories as it is for me about my journey personally. Sonically, I love the combination of everybody's ideas and contributions on this album. It feels more like a collaboration than the past few records have been. When all is said and done, I wouldn't change anything about this album."

He finishes, "I think it's the exact record we needed to make. I'm honored and proud of what we all were able to create and refine through this music and message."

KSE will also embark on a headline tour in March. It's their first tour of North America since late 2022, as the band has been busy working on the new material that has become This Consequence. The tour features support from Kublai Khan TX, Fit For a King and Frozen Soul, and kicks off on March 5 in Nashville and runs through April 12 in Portland, Maine. All dates are below, and includes appearances at key spring festivals. Tickets and VIP packages will be available here.

Additionally, the band returns to the cover of Revolver for the third time. See the Winter 2024 cover below. Get it here. It's on stands in January. Please note this issue is different than the special collector's edition deluxe magazine that is "must own" for fans!

ABOUT KILLSWITCH ENGAGE:
Killswitch Engage first shook the structure of heavy music upon climbing out of snowy industrialized Western Massachusetts in 2000. A musical outlier, the band pioneered a union of thrashed-out European guitar pyrotechnics, East Coast hardcore spirit, on-stage hijinks, and enlightened lyricism that set the pace for what the turn-of-the-century deemed heavy. 2002's Alive Or Just Breathing became avowed as a definitive album, being named among "The Top 100 Greatest Metal Albums of the Decade" by Decibel and celebrated by everyone from Metal Hammer to Revolver. Not only did they bust open the floodgates for dozens to follow, but they also garnered three GRAMMY® Award nominations in the category of "Best Metal Performance" in 2005, 2014, and 2019, a gold certification for The End of Heartache [2004], and a platinum certification for As Daylight Dies [2006]. The group landed three consecutive Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 with Killswitch Engage [2009], Disarm The Descent [2013], and their career high best bow at #6 with Incarnate [2016]. The latter two releases, along with 2019's Atonement, would also both capture #1 on the Top Rock Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums charts. The band's total streams are nearing 3 billion to date, while they've remained consummate road warriors who've sold out countless headline tours and have shared stages with everyone from Iron Maiden to Slipknot to Slayer to My Chemical Romance to Mastodon to Parkway Drive, which is a testament to their ability to cross genres and appeal to all fans of hard rock. KsE have remained a featured attraction at every major North American and European festival through the years. The band is celebrating an astonishing, 25-year career as one of the most vital and genre-defining bands of the '00s and continues its incredible legacy.

UNFD Signs Dreamwake + Band Shares "Heatwave" Video

UNFD is thrilled to welcome Connecticut's DREAMWAKE — Bobby Nabors (vocals); Dave Pazik (guitar);  Kevin Jacques (bass); and Andrew Popolizio (drums) — to the label roster.
 
To mark the momentous occasion, the band has shared the video for "Heatwave," its debut single for its new label home. Watch it below. 

The song mashes up screams, synths, and sax, and it will assert itself as your new favorite song and genre!

"'Heatwave' is about that feeling of nostalgia when you look back on life and realize things will never be the same," the band says, effectively capturing a sobering emotion that ALL of us have experience at one point or another. "It's about those moments when you're stuck in the same place but everything around you feels different, and you can't help but long for how things used to be."

Dreamwake continue, "The song reflects that bittersweet tension of trying to hold on to the past while also knowing it's time to let go. It's a reflection on change, growth, and the acceptance that moving forward often means leaving something behind. Ultimately, it's about embracing that shift and finding peace in the next chapter."

Melodic and screamed vocals collide through the song, which is erected on heavy artillery riffing. There's also a gorgeous, '80s-inspired sax and synths woven through the track, making for thrilling and unpredictable listen.

"We're beyond excited to finally share 'Heatwave' with the world," Dreamwake exclaim. "Having the opportunity to work with a great label like UNFD is truly an honor. Their belief in our music and vision means the world to us, and we're grateful for the chance to reach even more people-both our loyal supporters and those discovering us for the first time. We're pumped for what 2025 has in store, and can't wait to take this next chapter together."

Emerging from the bustling scene in New Haven, Connecticut, Dreamwake are a four-piece band that seamlessly blends metalcore with synthwave, crafting a sound that's both nostalgic and fresh. Combining emotionally charged melodies, heavy riffs, and saxophone, Dreamwake offer a unique sonic landscape and they bridge the gap between powerful metal breakdowns and captivating melodies, Now part of the UNFD roster, the band is gearing up for their forthcoming full-length, set for release in 2025. Set to deliver an unforgettable mix of energy, depth, and innovation that will leave a lasting impact on fans.

Also, the band has a holiday show set for December 13 at The Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts. Get tickets here. All details are in the graphic below.

Memphis May Fire Announce New Album "SHAPESHIFTER" + Band Shares Video for Title Track

MEMPHIS MAY FIRE — Matty Mullins (vocals), Kellen McGregor (guitar), Cory Elder (bass), and Jake Garland (drums) — spent much of 2024 dropping brand new singles, each of which was more incendiary than the next. Today, they are thrilled to announce their upcoming album SHAPESHIFTER, which arrives March 28 via longtime label Rise Records. Pre-order it here.

The band has also shared the video for the title track. Watch it below. 

The track and the album take a long, hard look at what lies beneath.
 
"'Shapeshifter' reflects the struggle of wrestling with identities and the need to confront the masks we wear," says Mullins. "This track, and the entire album, is about exposing those parts of ourselves we often keep hidden. It's a journey through the layers of deception, self-reflection, and the struggle to find what's genuine in a world full of pretense. We wanted 'Shapeshifter' to embody that feeling of losing and finding yourself, over and over, until you finally see what's real."

MMF have also announced a headline tour for Spring 2025, with support from Caskets, Wind Walkers, and Elijah. The tour kicks off April 16 in Little Rock and runs through May 17 in Atlanta. It includes appearances at several key spring festivals, such as Sonic Temple and Welcome to Rockville. All dates are below. Get tickets here.

NAPALM DEATH are credited as pioneers of the grindcore genre by incorporating elements of crust punk and death metal, using a noise-filled sound that uses heavily distorted, down-tuned guitars, grinding overdrive bass, high-speed tempos, blast beats, and vocals that consist of incomprehensible growls or high-pitched shrieks. Their music features extremely short songs, fast tempos, and sociopolitical lyrics. Even after exerting an indelible influence on the entire world of heavy music for nearly 40 years, there is still no band on Earth that sounds like Napalm Death. Not just pioneers, but an enduring benchmark for invention and fearlessness in heavy and experimental music of all kinds, the Birmingham legends are still hurtling forward at full pelt.

THE MELVINS are one of modern music’s most influential bands. Having formed in 1983 in Montesano, Washington, the group - founded by vocalist/guitarist Buzz Osborne, with drummer Dale Crover joining a year later - has been credited with merging the worlds of punk rock and heavy music, forming a new subgenre all their own. Over their 40-plus-year career, they’ve released more than 30 original albums, numerous live records, and far too many to count singles and rarities. Recent releases include 2024’s 'Tarantula Heart,' an album that Osborne wrote songs based on a series of improvisational live sessions, the six-song 2022 'Bad Mood Rising,' and 'Five Legged Dog' (2021), an ambitious 36-track acoustic collection that reimagines their heaviest songs alongside covers of their favorite artists.

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 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 which 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 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 channelling an unholy heaviness strong enough to tilt the earth off-axis.

Earlier this year, Parmalee toured with Tyler Hubbard and Kane Brown on the “In The Air” Tour. Of their show, Chicago Concert Reviews wrote, “Parmalee brought loads of its own southern-infused hooks and harmonies from “For You,” culminating in the smashes “Carolina” and “Take My Name,” to enhance an already potent combination.”

About Parmalee:

As the most-played group/band on Country Radio in 2023, Parmalee is one of Country Music's most successful acts with four #1 singles, multiple platinum records, and over 1 Billion on-demand streams.  Comprised of brothers Matt and Scott Thomas (lead vocals/guitar and drums, respectively), Cousin Barry Knox (bass), and life-long friend Josh McSwain (guitar/keyboard), the North Carolina natives first topped the charts with “Carolina,” followed by their PLATINUM-certified No. 1 single with Blanco Brown, “Just the Way.” They followed with “Take My Name,” Billboard’s Most Played Country Song of 2022. They recently scored their third consecutive #1 single with “Girl In Mine,” Billboard’s 8th Most Played Country Song of 2023. Those three #1’s and 15 other tracks, including their current and Top 5 and climbing single “Gonna Love You,” are available on their latest album For You 2.

Durbin continues, “When David Ellefson & Andrea Martongelli DM you and want you to cover Judas Priest with them, the answer is ‘YES’!  Aside from the late great Ronnie James Dio, the mighty Priest are the top of the heavy metal mountain for me and covering their music is a request I’ll never turn down, especially considering who that request come from.”

James Durbin was a contestant on the 10th season of American Idol and performed alongside Judas Priest during the show’s finale that year.  The track is produced by Ellefson and his solo band guitarist Andy Martongelli and mixed by Alessio Garavello at Rogue Recording Studios in Wembley, UK.

(Curse of The Coven Remix by Nekravol) Below.

THE INFERNAL SEA draw from a vast musical palette, influenced by a wide array of genres, including electronic and industrial. Having come of age in the 90s, they were immersed in a time when metal bands were boldly crossing genre lines, experimenting with new sounds and styles. Acts like Fear Factory and White Zombie were at the forefront, pushing the boundaries of their art and creating genre-defying remix albums that shattered conventions and expanded the possibilities of what metal could be.

THE INFERNAL SEA comments on the deluxe album:

"Our goal was to imagine how these songs might have sounded if someone else had shaped them – to explore the possibilities of an alternate vision. These reimagined tracks aren’t meant to replace the originals; far from it. Instead, they’re designed to challenge listeners, encouraging them to approach 'Hellfenlic' from fresh perspectives and discover new layers within the music.

"It's been highly satisfying if not mind-bending to hear other people's takes on these tracks, in a genre where you almost never see this happen. There is a wide range of sounds, influences and flavours on offer here all while staying true to the intent of the original songs, infernal gratitude to all who gave their most precious time to this unusual project."

Stream 'Hellfenlic Deluxe (Reincarnated Evil)' HERE

THE INFERNAL SEA have been a plague on this Earth since 2011, composing fierce and terrifying black metal from the Fenlands of England, conjuring compelling tales of English & European history throughout the Medieval period.

Over several releases, THE INFERNAL SEA have solidified their reputation as black metal wraiths—enigmatic and elusive, their true identities obscured by plague doctor-inspired masks and shadowy shrouds. In January 2024, they released 'Hellfenlic', a ferocious new album whose title, derived from Old English, translates to "a Fen of Hell." The record delivered eight tracks of seething, raw black 'n' roll fury, continuing the band's unrelenting assault on the senses. 'Hellfenlic' follows their trio of studio albums — 'Negotium Crucis' (2020), 'The Great Mortality' (2016), and 'Call of the Augur' (2012), further cementing their place as one of the genre's most powerful and uncompromising forces.

THE INFERNAL SEA have continued to elevate their live performances with a terrifying and captivating ritualistic stage show, enthralling audiences wherever they may roam. This has included performances at key UK festivals such as Bloodstock Festival, Incineration Festival, Damnation Festival, A Night of Salvation, Reaper Fest, Cosmic Void as well as a whole host of key support slots to bands such as Anaal Nathrakh, 1349, Taake, Napalm Death, Akercocke, Nargaroth, Primordial, Hellripper, Tsjuder, Mork, Rotting Christ, Hulder, Strigoi, Abigail Williams, Arch Enemy and many more. 

Continuing to captivate audiences with their electrifying, raw live performances, THE INFERNAL SEA kick off their European headline tour in France today.

Freemoor Shares Soulful Rock Song "Affliction"

Las Vegas based Rock artist Freemoor is sharing his soulful new song “Affliction”.  The track was produced by noted session guitarist and producer Adrian Andres (Cirque Du Soleil, Maeve) at Mouse Trap Studios in Toronto, Canada.  Freemoor will be debuting the song live in Los Angeles at the Viper Room on Tuesday, 11/19.

“Affliction” is an homage to the unfortunate demise of creative people who have succumbed to their demons, and left this world at a young age and far to soon. It combines a powerful, soulful vibe with an edgy rock sound – it’s a mix of Bad Company meets Lenny Kravitz, with a dose of Gary Clark Jr.   The song has an earworm, driving rhythm with bombastic guitars throughout, buoyed by bluesy, intensely soulful vocals.   

Freemoor says “There are so many legendary stories regarding the unfortunate demise of many divinely talented             people who have graced this earth – only to succumb to their demons and leave far too soon. “Affliction” is a tribute             to these unique individuals – but also acknowledges everyday people who deal with and suffer from various maladies of the mind and soul.  From Amy Winehouse to Marilyn Monroe, to more recently Liam Payne - many true and untrue stories are told about these people. They are blamed for things they were not wholly their fault and not recognized for their disease and are unjustly maligned”.

About Freemoor:

Freemoor is an Las Vegas based Indie Rock artist who has an eclectic, soulful vibe. The talented bassist and drummer has influences ranging from Prince to Queen, Lenny Kravitz and Seal, to David Bowie and Chris Cornell. His music is a nod to the past while being thoroughly modern. He leads you through a thoughtful journey and fills you with three minutes of various emotions while giving the listener an electric charge.  His tag line is “Free to do moor” - he encourages people to be their best authentic selves. Follow your own path and be comfortable with yourself, no matter who you are.  That message shines through in his music.

Freemoor has previously released several singles, including “Shine” (2024); Jump N (2020); Confess (2019); Alive (2019) and a cover of the classic Cream Song “Sunshine Of Your Love”.  He is in the process of finishing up his debut album, which is slated to be released in the spring of 2025.  Tour dates are being booked to coincide with the album release.

Live Shows:

Tuesday, 11/19 – The Viper Room – West Hollywood, CA

BEYOND THE GATES 2025 Reveals First Wave of Bands; KING DIAMOND, ABBATH DOOM OCCULTA, TRIPTYKON (CELTIC FROST set) + more!

Beyond the Gates Festival 2025 is now revealing the first wave of bands for what is already shaping up to be an epic lineup! The four-day extravaganza will once again take place in Bergen (NO) from July 30 - August 2, across several venues, including USF and the iconic Grieghallen, where many of Norway's seminal black metal artists recorded their legacy records.

The current lineup is now as follows:

King Diamond (First Norwegian show in 19 years!)

Abbath Doom Occulta (Immortal set)

Triptykon (performing Celtic Frost)

I Am Morbid

Destruction ('Infernal Overkil'l 40 years)

Hellbutcher

Hellripper

Dark Sonority

+ more TBA!

Tickets are now available HERE.

For the first time in 19 years, King Diamond will return to Norway with his fantastic horror infused heavy metal spectacle.

Festival booker Torgrim Øyre comments, "For those of you who saw Mercyful Fate in Grieghallen a few years back will know that this will be the ultimate way to experience King Diamond and his amazing show. We’ve been hard at work to get King Diamond to Norway for quite some time and what a treat it is to finally be able to announce this gem.

"King Diamond will be joined by the mighty Abbath Doom Occulta who will bring his incredible ‘Return to the Raven Realms Tour’ to Bergen for the first time. The epic show includes a set consisting wide array of Immortal classics from his tenure in the band. 

"Going even further back in the history books. Triptykon will perform a full set of Celtic Frost classics, while German thrash pioneers, Destruction, will celebrate the 40th anniversary of their magnum opus, ‘Infernal Overkill.'

"If that’s not education enough, David Vincent and Pete Sandoval will bring you the finest death metal available when I Am Morbid is diving into the Morbid Angel catalogue. 

"Former Nifelheim singer Hellbutcher has delivered one of the best albums this year, who hasn’t twisted some neck muscles after hearing ‘The Sword of Wrath.’ Next year you can experience this masterpiece live on stage.

"Scotland-based Hellripper has taken the thrash world by storm over the last few years. This force of nature has quickly become one of the hottest underground acts around. If you’ve attended one of their concerts you will understand why. 

"Last but not least, Dark Sonority, formerly known as Kaosritual. This ensemble is well known throughout the underground as the epitome of Sorcerous Black Metal, alongside other Nidrosian Black Metal bands such as Mare and Celestial Bloodshed with whom they share members. This will be one of their very few concerts next year.

"The 2025 edition of Beyond the Gates is the 13th chapter in the festival saga and will showcase why the festival has grown into the international metal gathering it has become. Attracting visitors from 50 different countries around the world, Beyond the Gates has become a global phenomenon.

"The festival is taking place in the city center of Bergen, using several venues spread across town, including the legendary Grieghallen and USF Verftet.

"Welcome to 4 days of darkness in the heart of Bergen."

Since the inception of the Beyond the Gates festival, fans have been coming to Bergen to see performances of their favorite Norwegian artists in their home environment. As most visitors know, nature and local culture has always been a poignant source of inspiration for the bands emerging from the Bergen scene. Yet again, Beyond the Gates will give all of the traveling fans the opportunity to get an unique insight into all aspects of the Norwegian Metal scene and the local culture in general. In that regard, we’re putting together a series of events before and during the festival so that all of you can discover what inspired – and still does - the Norwegian metal scene.

More special events will be announced, including exclusive listening parties, music and culture panels, in-depth live interviews, and a wealth of of events and activities that will give you a Beyond the Gates Experience that will last for a lifetime. Stay tuned for more...

Eli Young Band Tribute the Ecstasy of True Love with "I'm Yours Amen"

On the heels of multiple sold out shows earlier this summer, including an at-capacity performance at Washington, D.C.’s The Bullpen, multi-Platinum country hitmakers Eli Young Band release their new track “I’m Yours Amen” today, November 15, giving commitment a swaying soundtrack. Listen to “I’m Yours Amen” Below.
 
Co-written by lead singer Mike Eli with Jeffrey East, the romantically charged anthem stands as a warm-and-fuzzy tribute to the ecstasy of true love. Featuring a sunset melody and uplifting roots rock sound – led as always by Eli’s distinctive vocal – the track has emerged as a feel-good Country singalong, built on the simple joy of knowing exactly where you’re meant to be.
 
“When I got the idea for this song I was napping on the couch with my head on my wife’s lap, and she was binging Grey’s Anatomy,” Eli explains. “I remember thinking ‘This is the life!’ – and from that ‘I’m Yours Amen’ was born.
 
“We wanted to write a song that said everything without saying too much,” he goes on. “I remember me and Kacey’s wedding day like it was yesterday, so it’s incredible to capture that feeling in a song nearly 15 years later.”
 
The release of “I’m Yours Amen” follows the comforting “Home in Hometown” (dropped earlier in 2024), as the never-changing EYB lineup of Mike Eli, James Young, Jon Jones, and Chris Thompson mark the start of a fresh chapter.
 
Returning to their independent roots and the bold creative defiance that launched them into the mainstream with 2008’s Level, a new set of tunes will continue to roll out through 2025. Recorded at Panhandle House Studio in their hometown of Denton, Texas – also the birthplace of Level – it promises to bring fans a full-circle moment driven by experience and a million miles of wisdom, from a band of brothers still very much in their prime.
 
Meanwhile, Eli Young Band continue to rack up accolades. Along with wrapping their 10 Years: 10,000 Towns Tour this summer, the band celebrated new certifications of their chart topping, Platinum album Life at Best, plus 5x Platinum single “Crazy Girl” and the 3x Platinum “Even If It Breaks Your Heart.”
 
The band now boast 13 million RIAA-certified units in the US alone and are currently on the road headlining their Home in Hometown Tour with dates scheduled through December 21 at the legendary Billy Bob’s Texas in Fort Worth, Texas.
 
Since the band’s formation as college classmates more than two decades ago, the Associated Press has celebrated EYB as “a smart, relevant antidote” to overdone clichés in Country music. The musical band of brothers has charted 14 singles on Billboard, including four No. 1 hits with the aforementioned “Crazy Girl,” “Even If It Breaks Your Heart,” 2x Platinum “Love Ain’t” and Platinum “Drunk Last Night.” Additionally, EYB has earned multiple GRAMMY, CMA, CMT, ACA and Teen Choice Award nominations.
 
While selling out venues from coast-to-coast as seasoned headliners, EYB has also shared the stage with Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Tim McGraw, Jason Aldean, Toby Keith, Chris Young, Darius Rucker and Dave Matthews Band. For current tour dates and more, visit eliyoungband.com and follow along on social media with @EliYoungBand.

Emerging L.A. Artist WELSH WOLF Releases New Single “When You Cry” From Forthcoming 2025 EP & Announces Nashville & London Dates In December

Thursday, November 14, 2024 – In a previous life, Welsh Wolf (born Paul Freeman) worked behind the scenes with the best of them: He played guitar on James Blunt’s giant hit “You’re Beautiful”; toured the world with The Who, Chris Cornell, Chris Isaac, Roger Daltry, and Brandi Carlisle; wrote a Top 40 hit for Sleeping With Sirens; and had his material covered by the likes of Meat Loaf and Robbie Williams.

Now, Welsh Wolf is ready to howl on his own, emerging as a promising act of his own accord and releasing singles that will culminate in a debut EP in early 2025. The first taste came with “Wreck,” released in late September that quickly racked up streams in its first week. Today, the L.A.-based talent is unleashing the next edition, “When You Cry,” another power anthem that calls to mind The Cult, The Killers, and Sam Fender and was also inspired by his early loves like The Cure, T-Rex, Dire Straits, Paul McCartney and Wings. Both songs were crafted after Freeman looked to start a new chapter and hunkered down in his studio for over a year to perfect his craft; each was produced and mixed by John Spiker (Filter, Beck, The Killers).

“It felt like I was allowing my true self to be seen,” Freeman explains. “Before it felt like there was a filter that I didn’t realize was even there.  But now, I was finally allowing myself to be myself.”

HEAR “When You Cry” HERE

Welsh Wolf will soon be taking the material out on the road, with shows planned in Nashville and London in December with more to be announced soon. Dates include:

November 27 Nashville, TN @ The Bowery Vault (ticket info)

December 12 East London, UK @ TBD

December 21 Nashville, TN @ Bluebird Café

Growing up in South Wales, Welsh Wolf was destined to be involved with music. At 10-years-old, he serendipitously found his first guitar sitting on a dumpster, picked it up, dusted it off and taught himself how to play his favorite songs, like “Band on the Run” (the only thing that would put him to sleep, according to his mother).

Freeman was a quick learner, and in due time, the budding artist moved to London, started a band called Boedekka and was signed to Boy George’s label. A few years later, Los Angeles was calling and, through a series of events, Freeman was linked up with Clive Davis who liked what he heard and set him on the path to success, not only touring with a who’s who of rock and pop but also finding his music landing in films including The Break-Up, as well as hit TV shows Jessica Jones and Insatiable.

Welsh Wolf is the latest chapter in the musician’s illustrious career, emerging under a new moon for a new time. Stay tuned …

Ever since the cloaked Pacific Northwest band appeared on the music radar, UADA has always been electrified by both polar worlds. Their echelon was stark and meaningful. Within the stretch of three albums as well as dense and triumphant live shows across the globe, they have not only spiked the map of extreme metal music but their unrelenting touring schedule and unbridled will to push forward into new horizons has also earned them a reception in all the extremes imaginable, be it worship or spite.

Five sonic vessels form the nucleus of 'Crepuscule Natura,' and within it`s 41 minutes, the record easily creates a sonic and aesthetic bridge between the band`s debut, 'Devoid of Light' (2016), and their sophomore effort 'Cult of a Dying Sun' (2018), only to forge onward upon the relentless path set forth with 'Djinn' (2020). Here, a more refined and muscular, yet no less melodic stronghold awaits. On 'Crepuscule Natura,' UADA provides all their memorable hooks, tasteful leads, and riding blasts in their distinct style, balancing their epic surging melodies with powerful spurts of aggression. Just like the band's smoke-heavy shows, the momentum and emphasis of their craft always stays grandiose, mythical, and triumphant – all the while making sure to birth a couple of new fan favorites and soon-to-be staple live songs.

'Crepuscule Natura', once again graced by the artwork of legendary Kris Verwimp and photography by Peter Beste, shows UADA on fire to unleash the marrow of black heavy metal.

Ian Munsick Charts New Territory with 18-City Spring ‘25 ‘Horses are Faster Tour’

Wyoming native Ian Munsick, celebrated by HITS Daily Double and The New Yorker alike for putting the “western back in country,” will chart new territory in the Northeast and beyond with his 18-city  Horses are Faster Tour in spring 2025. Tickets go on-sale 10 AM local time this Friday, Nov. 15 at IanMunsick.com.
 
Encompassing his first headlining shows in Pittsburgh, PA; Philadelphia, PA and more, Munsick will also return to the revered Texas honky tonk, Billy Bob’s Texas, in March before concluding the run at Nashville’s new concert hall, The Pinnacle, on April 17. Each stop will feature a rotating lineup of support including Colby Acuff, Chayce Beckham, Bayker Blankenship, Clay Street Unit, Kashus Culpepper, Hudson Westbrook and Jake Worthington.
 
“There is one thing I can always guarantee when you come to an Ian Munsick show… you will be entertained. I know how hard you work for your money and that’s why every time we hit the stage, the only goal I have is to give you your money’s worth,” Munsick shares. “The Horses Are Faster Tour will be stocked with brand new music, old songs we haven’t played in years, and of course, all the crowd favorites you NEED to hear. Rocky Mountain Fever and I are crafting an entirely different show for 2025 and I can’t wait for you to see the final result when we come to your town!”
 
The Horses are Faster Tour was named after Munsick’s stampeding breakthrough hit, “Horses are Faster,” released in 2017, which was certified Gold by the RIAA earlier this year; joining “Long Live Cowgirls” featuring Cody Johnson off his sophomore album White Buffalo, and “Long Haul” from his major label debut Coyote Cry.
 
As Munsick continues to tease new music, he most recently released “Fixin’ Me,” citing the toxic push-and-pull that often results from a relationship born on a bad habit, as one person tries to fix himself while the other remains complacent. “Fixin’ Me” was written by Munsick, Trannie Anderson and Jared Conrad, and produced by Munsick, Conrad and Jeremy Spillman. View full lyrics and credits HERE and listen HERE.
 
In 2024, Munsick headlined his own Boots, Buckles & Bolos Tour and The Country & WESTern Tour, while also joining reigning CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson as direct support on select dates of her Country’s Cool Again Tour.

About Ian Munsick:
A native son of Wyoming, Ian Munsick painted a stampeding, spirited portrait of the American West with his sophomore album 23-track White Buffalo: Introduce You To God, out now. Spanning unfiltered tales of romance and ranch life, hard-working anthems with honkytonk hooks and mountain-time odes to family and forever-young fun, it builds upon the spacious roots-pop beauty he introduced on his major label debut, Coyote Cry. Over the past four years, Munsick has accumulated over 775 million global streams and a host of accolades. He has been named an “Artist to Watch” by Spotify, CMT, Fender, MusicRow and most recently was named a Martin Showcase Artist. A seasoned entertainer, having grown up tending cattle by day and playing music in a family band each night, Munsick toured recently alongside country music superstars Morgan Wallen and Cody Johnson, and as direct support for select dates of Lainey Wilson’s Country’s Cool Again tour, while simultaneously headlining his own Boots, Buckles & Bolos Tour and Country & WESTern Tour presented by Boot Barn. The Warner Music Nashville recording artist and multi-instrumentalist is representing his home, and its special cast of people, like never before. The first release from White Buffalo, standout duet “Long Live Cowgirls” (with Cody Johnson), hit No. 1 on SiriusXM’s The Highway Hot 30 Countdown, was named one of Amazon Music’s Best Country Songs of 2022 and recently received RIAA Gold-certification alongside “Long Haul” and “Horses Are Faster.” Fans of Ian Munsick will always find an open heart, natural awe and plainspoken honesty as he rides on… bringing the West to the rest.

Gaerea Release New Video Ahead of US Tour

Gaerea are waking into a new era. The Portuguese masked sensations are no longer strictly a black metal band. With Coma, they've surfaced to the top of extreme metal. Their critically acclaimed new album racked up more than 1 million streams within 24 hours of landing on Spotify. 

"Coma, the quintet's fourth full-length, not only finds them sharpening their craft", FLOOD gushes, "but it also makes a strong claim as 2024's best metal record, regardless of subgenre". 

To lay claim over their new domain, later this month, Gaerea are touring North America with Zeal & Ardor and Zetra. Today, the band are treating the vortex societies in the U.S. and Canada with a tantalizing glimpse of their striking live performance. The new video for "Coma" includes never-before-seen footage from this year's treks to China and Taiwan, though the title track off their new album also shows just how far Gaerea have come.   

Watch the video for "Coma" Below.

Though produced by their trusted confident Miguel Tereso, Comabroadens Gaerea's signature sound by taking it in two seemingly opposed directions. The title track is one of the heavier songs on the whole album. Concussive drum fills open the floodgates for a venomous groove that shakes its scales like a dragon. But its tortured screams and piercing melodies reveal a mysterious phantom pain.

"This is the song that explains the whole record, basically", the band's unnamed vocalist told Apple Music. "I was thinking about how to write a song about someone in a coma, but they're still conscious of it. Because if there's no consciousness, there won't be a song. So, this is a bit like waking up in a dark room and seeing the whole word around you, but you can't really figure out if it's reality, if it's memories, if it's your imagination, or just your lost dreams in life. It deals with that anxiety of trying to figure out if you're really here or not, or if this is the afterlife - and whatever the afterlife might look like".

ABOUT MOVEMENTS:
It's been a whirlwind few years for Movements as evidenced by the fact that band's 2020 albumNo Good Left to Givedebuted at #3 on the Alternative chart and their streams have doubled since then with 300 million total streams in the U.S. alone. However, despite their success, the Southern Californian act have constantly reinvented themselves since forming in 2015 and the band's third full-lengthRUCKUS!sees the post-hardcore quartet taking their sound to expansive and sometimes unexpected places. Produced by longtime collaborator Will Yip (Circa Survive, Code Orange), the album fuses post-hardcore and punk influences with a healthy dose of pop songcraft to create an album that defies scene conventions in favor of something wholly unique. In order to accomplish this, the band made three extended trips to Yip's Studio 4 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, to write and record the collection of songs that would end up asRUCKUS! "I truly don't believe that it could have been a more streamlined process and I don't think we've ever written music that's as good as what we put together for this record," Miranda explains.RUCKUS!sees the band integrating decidedly different influences such as Gorillaz and Strokes into their sound to challenge people's preconceptions.
