LOST SOCIETY Release New Album "Hell Is A State Of Mind" Today

Four years after the critical triumph of If the Sky Came Down, Finland’s most fearless modern metal force, LOST SOCIETY, return today with their explosive new studio album, Hell Is A State Of Mind, available worldwide via Nuclear Blast Records.

With this release, vocalist–guitarist Samy Elbanna, guitarist Arttu Lesonen, bassist Mirko Lehtinen, and drummer Tapani Fagerström step fully into the metallic identity they were destined to claim. Unrestrained. Unmistakable. Unapologetically their own.

From the opening moments, Hell Is A State Of Mind makes a bold declaration: this is modern metal without compromise. Where If the Sky Came Down and its predecessor No Absolutiondocumented a band exploring new creative ground after shedding their early thrash roots, the new album captures the sound of a band that has stopped searching—and started defining.

This is LOST SOCIETY distilled to their purest and most defiant form. The album asks no permission, bows to no trend, and refuses to echo anything but its own voice. Massive hooks collide with punishing heaviness, cinematic atmosphere meets raw aggression, and every track pushes the boundaries of what contemporary metal can be.

To celebrate the release, the band have unveiled a brand-new music video for the crushing single 'Kill The Light,' a blistering showcase of their raw, high-voltage stage energy that has earned them a reputation as one of the most electrifying live acts in heavy music.

Watch the video for 'Kill The Light' Below:

Kicking off on March 7th, right after the album release, LOST SOCIETY embark on a European tour, hitting cities throughout the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland and Scandinavia. Fans can expect a high-voltage set packed with fan favourites, ferocious riffs, and the band’s unmistakable adrenaline-charged energy.
Supporting the run is the Finnish alternative metal outfit AWAKE AGAIN.

Multi-platinum hard rock heavyweights Drowning Pool return with a ferocious new collaboration, teaming up with rising active rock force Sorry X on their brand-new single, “THE WRONG ONE," out now through SBG Records. 

 

The collaboration was sparked after the band discovered Sorry X’s brutal reinterpretation of Drowning Pool’s iconic anthem Bodies online.

 

"We stumbled on Sorry X's cover of 'Bodies' and were impressed by the sheer brutality of her vocals. On top of that Alexa sings amazing. We knew we had to collaborate on something so we reached out," says CJ Pierce. 

 

Sorry X adds, "I’m a huge fan of Drowning Pool and I grew up listening to the 2000s nu-metal era, so I was stoked when they reached out to me. I’m really proud of how this track came together and I hope fans will feel the intensity and raw energy of this collaboration." 

“THE WRONG ONE” is available now on all major streaming platforms.

The song’s relentless energy and defiant spirit resonated with a generation, becoming an anthem for moshers, metalheads, and fans of electrifying live performances.

 

Ryan McCombs played a pivotal role in the band’s evolution, joining their ranks in the aftermath of the tragic loss of beloved frontman Dave Williams. His powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence breathed new life into Drowning Pool, solidifying their status as metal titans. Songs like “37 Stitches,” “Feel Like I Do,” and “Turn So Cold” catapulted them to new heights, earning them a place among the genre’s heavyweights.

 

Yet, Drowning Pool’s story is not just about music; it’s a testament to enduring friendships and a shared passion for their craft. Ryan’s return to the band in 2023 marks a reunion of kindred spirits, a return to the roots of their musical journey. As he succinctly puts it, “Just being back in the same room together after so many years… was a quick reminder as to why I considered them to be my best friends in the business back in the day.”

 

Drowning Pool’s return is a testament to the enduring power of their music, a reminder that their unapologetic spirit continues to strike chords with audiences worldwide. The band experienced a triumphant resurgence in 2023 and with new music on the horizon, a 2025 calendar proving that the demand for the band isn’t about to slow down.., Drowning Pool has a white knuckle grip on their present and future with no plans to slow down.

 

Sorry X is an upcoming female songwriter from Phoenix, Arizona. Vocalist Alexa has made a big impact in a short amount of time having already cultivated 11+ million streams independently & 4+ million views across TikTok and Instagram. Being championed as “The next generation of Active Rock” with her youthful fresh take on Active Rock.

 

Managed by Gary Avila (Papa Roach, P.O.D), branded by creative talent Shan Dan (Volbeat, Greta Van Fleet) and currently producing an album with Billboard charting producer, Hiram Hernandez - Sorry X is sure to make waves.

Beyond Creation Announce Latin American Headline Tour

From the beginning, it was clear that Beyond Creation possessed a special aura. On their debut album, the Montréal four-piece concocted the next progressive evolution in technical death metal by splicing together classic brutality and prog’s insatiable curiosity with a refreshing knack for melody. Now, in light of releasing their first new song in eight years, the Independent Music Award winners and Canadian Grammy nominees are announcing their first tour celebrating the 15th anniversary of The Aura.

Next month, Beyond Creation will tour Latin America on a special The Aura 15th anniversary tour. The band will perform the album in its entirety for the first time ever. Their setlist will include “Omnipresent Perception”, which has more than 6 million views on YouTube, and “The Deported”, the album’s epic closer, which has never been played live before in Latin America. This tour will also mark the live debut of revelatory new single “Reverence”. Joining as special guest on all ten dates are Fallujah, who are touring Latin America for the first time.  

“Our 15th anniversary tour in celebration of The Aura is officially starting in Latin America next month”, Beyond Creation vocalist and guitarist Simon Girard says. “We will perform our debut album in its entirety for the first time ever!”

“Fifteen years ago, The Aura marked the beginning of our sonic journey”, Girard reflects. “A relentless and intricate force that carved a lasting legacy into the heart of the technical death metal scene. This anniversary tour is a celebration of where it all began and of everything we’ve built together since”.

Before appearing out of the Canadian woodwork back in 2011, Beyond Creation had already undergone multiple permutations. But with the band’s full-length debut, the Montréal four-piece quickly revealed themselves as the next evolution in technical death metal. The Aura has been encoded in the genre’s DNA ever since.

“Laden with atmosphere, The Aura stands out from the crowded 2011 tech/death scene thanks to the prominent use of fretless bass, varying drum patterns, and experimentation with tempo”, wrote Metal Injection in a recent retrospective. “Combine that with a variety of searing vocal styles and classically-influenced, lightening-fast sweeps, The Aura is a decadent joy to the mechanically and sonically minded”.

NYC's ECCE SHNAK announces UK tour dates with music legends EMF Watch their new animated thriller video for 'Katy's Wart'

Genre-defying NYC outfit Ecce Shnak will be joining platinum-selling legends EMF for a series of UK dates in early June. The two bands toured the US west coast together in 2025 (along with Spacehog) and Ecce Shnak also features on the EMF's epic indie dance track 'LGBTQ+ Lover' in support of the marginalized queer community. The video footage was filmed during their joint tour.

In the heart of New York City’s experimental scene, Ecce Shnak has carved out a reputation for "high-wire" performance, their music is a volatile yet meticulously crafted ecosystem, where technical precision meets a sense of inspired mayhem. Pronounced Eh-kay sh-knock, the band is made up of David Roush (composer, bassist and one of two singers), Bella Komodromos (vocals), Chris Krasnow (guitar), Gannon Ferrell (guitar), and Henry Buchanan-Vaughn (drums). 

David Roush shares, "Our precious pals in the legendary dance-pop crew EMF have invited us to be the opening act for 6 joyful days in the UK early this June! You can find the details of where and when our trampucings will lead us on our website and social media accounts. So trampuce along with us. To quote EMF, “You deserve more than this world could ever give!”"

Moving towards their full-length album 'Dandy Variances' album, anticipated later this year via Records, Man Records, the band recently released their new video for 'Katy's Wart', along with its Bandcamp release. a hidden gem originally released on their 2019 'Joke Oso' album. Telling a visceral tale of justice, the new video introduces a cruel madman, who finally meets his end at the hands of five purple goddesses of righteous vengeance.

The story is presented as a three-minute 'Animated Music Feelm Version', and an immersive ten-minute 'Extended Feelm Version' with a backstory that builds tension and context, centered on a well-dressed maniac, whose harmful acts finally trigger a cosmic intervention. The heroic twin sisters ultimately fend him off with the help of otherworldly agents of chaotic justice. In a supernatural animated turning point, five spirits are conjured to deliver him a dose of instant karma.

A blistering indictment of bigotry and cruelty, this surreal narrative was brought to life through a collaboration with some of the industry’s most innovative creative minds. The project’s striking visual identity is the work of the production-direction team of Hollye Bynum and Sam Owens, along with David Roush. The eery mind-boggling animation was crafted by the titans at Titmouse Productions. With this high-fidelity animation, 'Katy’s Wart' is now a definitive piece of Ecce Shnak lore, bridging their historical catalogue with their ambitious future.

2025 was a massive year for Ecce Shnak that saw the spring release of their 'Shadows Grow Fangs' EP, which was recorded and produced by Jeff Lucci, mixed by Nicholas Vernhes (Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Wild Nothing, The War on Drugs) and mastered by Grammy award-winning engineer Joe LaPorta (David Bowie, The Weeknd, Foo Fighters, Vampire Weekend).

They also released their live 'Backroom Sessions' EP and two club anthems - the Bladerunner-esque 'Jeremy, Utilitarian Sadboy (Kill Em Mix)' with German DJ-producer Eskei83 and the buoyant 'Prayer On Love (Madison Mars Remix)', in collaboration with world-famous DJ-producer Madison Mars. 

'Katy's Wart' can be found on digital music platforms, including Bandcamp, Spotify and Apple Music.  Tickets for Ecce Shnak and EMF June tour dates are now available

Recorded by FRAYLE and produced, mixed and mastered by Aaron Chaparian at Iron Audio (Bleeding Through, Harms Way), Heretics & Lullabies is a must-listen for any fan of doom, post-metal or atmosphere-heavy alt-rock, but also a pristinely phantomic journey for any heavy music fan as it maintains its accessible edge throughout.

We’re also releasing our debut album that we’ve put so much of ourselves into. Just excited to bring everyone along and make this feel like a real family.”

Reflecting on the band's journey and what The Hounds Of The Underground Tour represents for the band, vocalist Patrick Glover of If Not For Me share:

"Y’all have been asking for an If Not For Me headliner for quite some time. Things have been so crazy between the past couple years of touring and writing new music and we’ve just been patiently waiting for the stars to align, and they’re finally getting close. We’re so stoked to go out on our first ever co-headliner this spring, the Hounds of the Underground Tour. We’ve known the Colorblind dudes for a while now and touring with them always just felt so inevitable, and we’re super excited to have the boys in Windwaker all the way from Australia.

MACHINE HEAD | ANNOUNCE U.S. TOUR WITH KILLSWITCH ENGAGE

Two titans collide this June as Bay Area icons MACHINE HEAD hit the road with the legendary KILLSWITCH ENGAGE. Celebrating a deep shared history and a mutual respect for the craft, these shows are dedicated to the pure power of the pit. MACHINE HEAD will be performing tracks from their latest triumph, UNATØNED—a record defined by relentless momentum and a hunger to push the boundaries of heavy music. Kicking off June 3rd in Detroit, this 16-show run hits major markets including Brooklyn, Orlando, and Houston, concluding with a hometown show in San Francisco on June 27th. Support across all dates comes from the relentless IRON REAGAN and HAVOK.

MACHINE HEAD Robb Flynn comments, “I’m genuinely fired up to finally be hitting the road with Killswitch Engage — we’ve shared history and respect for a long time, but this will be the first time we’ve actually toured together, and that makes it feel special. Getting back into major cities like New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, Albuquerque, Orlando and more with this kind of energy behind it is exactly where Machine Head belongs. Big rooms, big crowds, big nights — this tour is about connection, intensity, and reminding people why heavy music hits hardest when it’s experienced together.”

Following the initial run, MACHINE HEAD will pivot to their acclaimed "An Evening With" format in select markets. These shows offer the full experience: deep cuts, rarities, and covers curated specifically for the die-hard fans. With no openers and no setlist restrictions, it’s a marathon of pure metal. Complementing these dates are high-billing appearances at major rock festivals—a testament to the fact that after three decades, MACHINE HEAD remains a vital force in the present tense.

Because tradition matters, MACHINE HEAD will ignite the final weeks of 2026 with an 'Evening With' holiday run. It’s that time of year when the energy is peaked, the crowds are at their loudest, and we’re all ready to lose our voices together in one last celebratory roar before the year ends.

Written in motion – on the road, in hotel rooms, and across continents – it reflects the raw energy of their return to the global festival circuit after an 11-year hiatus. UNATØNED was recorded at Robb's Jam Room, Sharkbite Studios, and Drop Of Sun Recording between July 2023 and December 2024. The album was produced by Robb Flynn as well as Zack Ohren who was also responsible for the engineering. The mixing and mastering was handled by Colin Richardson and Chris Clancy at Audioworks UK and the mastering of the record was handled by Ted Jensen and his assistant Justin Shturtz. The only exception was the track 'LANDSCAPE ØF THØRNS' which was produced by Flynn and Joel Wanasek who was also in charge of mixing the single alongside Zack Ohren. MACHINE HEAD once again tapped Seth Siro Anton to create the album artwork.

Eleven albums deep, MACHINE HEAD remains as fierce, relevant, and unstoppable as ever.

Bodysnatcher Unleash "Violent Obsession" Track and Official Music Video via MNRK Heavy

South Florida deathcore mainstays Bodysnatcher have today released their latest rager, "Violent Obsession"(via MNRK Heavy). The furious track is taken from the band's upcoming new album 'Hell Is Here, Hell Is Home' for release on Friday, April 10.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, guitarist Kyle Carter commented:

“'Violent Obsession' to me expresses hate for a person to the extreme. It’s about revenge and what you wish you could do to this person who’s abused you, or taken advantage of you. It’s about obsessively living in that headspace of hatred and wanting them to feel how they made you feel.”

Stream "Violent Obsession" at the link here, watch the official music video below, and pre-order 'Hell Is Here, Hell Is Home' here.

Bodysnatcher fans across the pond will have their chance to see the band on their headlining UK/EU tour beginning tomorrow in Southampton, UK. Afterwards, North American fans can see them on the Chaos & Carnage 2026 tour with Thy Art Is Murder, Carnifex, 200 Stab Wounds, Ingested, Gates To Hell, and Bodybox. The band will also be performing at major festivals throughout the year, including Welcome To Rockville, Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival, and Louder Than Life, which recently announced this year's stacked lineup. Tickets are on sale now at the link here, so be sure to get yours before it's too late.

ABOUT BODYSNATCHER

Hell Is Here, Hell Is Home is the fourth full-length from Melbourne, FL deathcore outfit Bodysnatcher. It follows 2024’s brutal Will Putney-produced EP, Vile Conduct and serves up another powerful barrage of uncompromising deathcore across 10 incredible tracks that see the four-piece—Kyle Medina (vocals), Kyle Carter (guitar), Kyle Shope (bass) and Chris Whited (drums)—turn the catharsis up as loud and as visceral as it will go. 

Of course, that’s nothing new for the band. If you’ve heard Vile Conduct, or any of the three albums that preceded it—2017’s Death of Me, 2020’s The Heavy Void or 2022’s Bleed-Abide—you’ll know this is a band who have always pitted themselves against personal tragedy, who have fought on individual levels against the dark depths of a despair (often inspired by their own experiences of death). Hell Is Here, Hell Is Home is no less harrowing. 

“The band has always had roots lyrically in themes of betrayal, overcoming hardship, and moving on from things that happen in life and how to cope with them,” explains Medina. “Ever since the inception of Bodysnatcher, that was the theme. I do think, though, as the band has matured and we as people have grown, so have the ways to dig into the themes more. With more life experience, there are more things to draw from.” 

Yet while this is still a viciously personal record, Hell Is Here, Hell Is Home is also a dark reflection of the world at large, and its current dystopia. It doesn’t just dwell on what’s happening, though. It lashes out at the way things are with a terrible, violent rage. 

“I’d say a lot of today’s world plays into this album,” says Whited. “We really feel that listeners across the globe can find something to connect with in these songs. There’s a strong sense of retaliation this time around; it feels like choosing violence, fighting back against a world that feels morally lost right now.“ 

That manifests itself from the very beginning of this record, from the opener “The Maker.” A sheer assault of rage, noise, and skull-crushing riffs, it multiplies Bodysnatcher’s intensity to a degree that, even by their already intense standards, is off the charts. “'The Maker' is a raw, visceral song,” says Shope. “Bodysnatcher has always been known for unrelenting heaviness, but ‘The Maker’ seems to be an even darker, more intense direction. Revenge and retaliation are themes we often use in our lyrics, however ‘The Maker’ is a more direct approach. This song is as heavy as we could make it, and I know the energy is going to be electric when it is played live. 

That direct darkness continues throughout the entirety of the next nine songs, from the unforgiving vengeance of “Writhe And Coil” and “Violent Obsession” through to the blistering defiance of “Blade Between The Teeth” and “Survive Or Die.” The latter features vocals from Scott Vogel, the frontman of hardcore legends Terror, a band very close to Bodysnatcher’s blackened heart. It follows the previous impressive cameo on Vile Conduct by Hatebreed’s Jamey Jasta. 

“Scott Vogel is such a pivotal and legendary voice in hardcore and heavy music,” says Medina. “Many of us in the band grew up listening to Terror, so having him appear on a song is huge for us in terms of morale and making the album feel even stronger. We had the idea when we were thinking of another voice come from the hardcore side of where the band draws from; we had Jasta on the previous EP, so we thought of another that is of equal stature, and were able to make it happen.” 

Vogel’s appearance shows just how much of a mark Bodysnatcher have made on the scene. But it’s not distracting them from their intent and purpose. In fact, that only seems to have been refined as time has passed. One of the most obvious examples of that here is “May Your Memory Rot”, an intensely personal song full of spite, venom and trauma about somebody who was very close to Whited. “That song was written the first night we got to the studio,” says the drummer. “It was Father’s Day, which has a lot of baggage for me. I was thinking about my nephew, who lost both parents when my sister overdosed and their gang member father was murdered, and is now being raised by my mom, and my nieces, who lost their dad when my brother passed. That spiral eventually led me to someone who is, without question, one of the worst people I’ve ever known. I was lying in bed angry, so I started writing. That song is pure rage—a very direct fuck you to Mike Whited.” Yet—like the rest of this record—it’s rage with a purpose, rage full of intention, rage with hope still attached to it. Because even though it was born out of incredibly difficult circumstances, both personal and universal, Bodysnatcher’s hope is that people listening to it can find some kind of solace in it alongside all the anger and the rage. 

“I won’t lie,” says Carter. “This was a hard album to put together. Every writing session was met with dead ends for months, but we were able to come out the other side with 15 demos and ended with 10 of the best songs we’ve ever made. The album is based around revenge and not bending over for people. I hope others can hear these songs and come to the same realizations we have while putting this together. Life is too short to let people walk on you or take advantage of you. Humans are monsters who betray, abuse, neglect, murder, and sometimes it feels like we’re too comfortable in the Hell that we’re in.”

DEKO ENTERTAINMENT IS EXCITED TO BRING YOU THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY REISSUE OF ANGEL’S HELLUVA BAND

DEKO ENTERTAINMENT IS EXCITED TO BRING YOU THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY REISSUE OF ANGEL’S HELLUVA BAND

REMASTERED ON 180G VINYL AND CD WITH LIMITED BUNDLES SIGNED BY THE FOUR ORIGINAL SURVIVING MEMBERS
 

Employing a dazzling mix of glam rock, hard rock, and progressive rock, Angel's outrageous, white-satin-heavy image and equally over-the top stage shows, making them one of the more colorful arena rock bands of the mid-'70s and early '80s. Discovered by KISS bass player, Gene Simmons, the group issued their eponymous debut album in 1975, which hewed closer to prog rock than the glam pop that would be on future endeavors like White Hot (1978) and Sinful (1979). The group released a total of five studio albums and one live album before going their separate ways in 1981. The band officially re-formed in 2019 with original members, Punky Meadows and Frank DiMino, and released their comeback studio effort, Risen, later that October and followed up with Once Upon A Time in 2023.

The group's sophomore album Helluva Band was originally released in 1976 for Casablanca Records with a line-up comprising of Frank DiMino (vocals), Punky Meadows (guitar), Gregg Giuffria (keyboards), Mickie Jones (bass), and Barry Brandt (drums). Helluva Band was a strong and quick follow up to their classic 1975 debut and featured the epic “The Fortune” alongside heavier tracks like “Mirrors” and “Feelin’ Right”.

Watch “Feelin’ Right” Below:

Now to celebrate the 50th Anniversary this classic has been remastered and is being released on both a 6-panel CD digipak and on 180G vinyl in two amazing Limited-Edition Colors with liner notes by journalist Dave Reynolds. There are only 400 of the Splatter and 600 of the Red Swirl available with a limited number of bundles signed by the 4 surviving original members, Frank DiMino, Punky Meadows, Gregg Giuffria, and Barry Brandt.

SEPULTURA - Announce Farewell Release 'The Cloud of Unknowing' EP + Reveal Track 'The Place'

As the curtain falls on an extraordinary career spanning more than four decades, SEPULTURA are preparing to close their final chapter at the end of this year. With over 40 years of band history, 14 gold records, and performances across more than 80 countries, SEPULTURA stand as Brazil’s uncompromising emissary to the global stage and one of today’s most influential metal bands. 

Currently bringing their pioneering sound to audiences worldwide on the 'Celebrating Life Through Death' farewell tour, the question has arisen: how should SEPULTURA mark the end of such a monumental journey? The answer came naturally: By capturing a final creative moment and preserving it for posterity. 

The result is The Cloud of Unknowing EP, set to be released on April 24th via Nuclear Blast Records.

The Cloud of Unknowing EP is one of SEPULTURA’s most diverse and emotionally resonant releases. Across four tracks, the EP serves as a bittersweet farewell, showcasing the full spectrum of the band’s creativity, reflecting both the ferocity and depth that have defined SEPULTURA’s legacy. 

SEPULTURA have released EP track 'The Place', which vocalist Derrick Green sheds some light on:

“This song deals with immigrants who have come to a place seeking refuge and start a new life.  

Once assimilated into a false sense of security and relentless propaganda they began to act out against what they hate about themselves. The transition begins to escape from the self hatred and the lashing out against people who believed in the same ideas. I feel the lyrics truly follow the transitions of the song. Starting with disappointment and arriving at anger.”

Pop Evil’s Leigh Kakaty had most of the song written, but wanted to partner with a female country artist who shared the song's vision. With Pop Evil and Tyndall already labelmates, the partnership came together naturally. The artists met in Nashville last fall to record the track with producer Derek Wells (known for work with HARDY, Jordan Davis, Maddie & Tae, and Post Malone).

Tyndall says, “As I established on my last record, rock music has always been a big influence on my sound.  I knew I wanted to embrace it even more by expanding my audience to that genre.  When someone suggested a collaboration with Pop Evil, it was a no-brainer -  their music is so authentic. When I met Leigh, he was so passionate about the song that the recording process was a breeze, as he incorporated both our sounds. I’m excited to introduce myself to Pop Evil’s fans and the rock world in general. I cannot wait to see what happens next.”

Kakaty adds, “Sometimes the one you overlook is the one who never left - the steady heartbeat in the background, loving you quietly through every storm, waiting not to be chosen out of convenience, but finally seen for what they’ve always been: home.”

Known for explosive live performances, acclaimed songwriting, and a debut album praised by American Songwriter for its near-perfect country-rock balance, Tyndall’s momentum continues to build. She has shared stages with Megan Moroney, Maddie & Tae, Ashley McBryde, Ella Langley, Ian Munsick, Tracy Lawrence, and more. She will support Danny Worsnop and Tyler Rich on select dates this spring, in addition to appearances at major global festivals throughout the season. She has also built an impressive songwriting résumé, including “Bar in Baton Rouge,” featured on Lainey Wilson’s GRAMMY-nominated album Whirlwind.

With “Maybe You’re The One,” Tyndall continues to blur the line between country and rock, delivering a powerhouse collaboration that reinforces the raw, high-energy sound she is known for.

PAUL CAUTHEN SHARES UNFILTERED DUET “CHAIN SMOKING” (FEAT. DELANEY RAMSDELL) AHEAD OF ALBUM RELEASE

With his authoritative fifth album Book of Paul just one month away, country iconoclast Paul Cauthen gives fans a taste of its unfiltered artistry on “Chain Smoking” (featuring Delaney Ramsdell) – a slow-burning duet so vivid, it should come with a Surgeon General’s warning. Listen to “Chain Smoking” (feat. Delaney Ramsdell) here and watch the official video below.
 
Co-written by Cauthen with Beau Bedford and Jason Burt, “Chain Smoking” (featuring Delaney Ramsdell) arrives as an aching barstool ballad, with the sharp pain of a breakup hanging heavy in the air. 
 
Pairing the Texas native’s Big Velvet vocal with smoky roots-country counterpoint, finger-picked acoustic guitar and weary steel swirl in a dive-bar haze of romantic devastation. As a striking look at the emotional fire powering Cauthen’s next chapter, the track soon rises into bellowing soundtrack to full-flavor sorrow, where more pain is the one-and-only cure.
 
“Ain’t it funny how two things go together … Like chain smoking with a broken heart,” goes the track.
 
With his booming baritone with a near-biblical swagger, Cauthen’s Book of Paul is set to arrive on April 3. Classic-country grit and gospel power fuse with a rhinestoned rock-and-roll edge, as the fiercely independent singer-songwriter known as “Big Velvet” returns to his East Texas roots. 
 
Capturing his unruly essence with all the charm of a rattlesnake (and the vocal venom to match), gritty, swampy, East Texas country comes alive under Cauthen’s singular artistic vision, as a true-to-him battle between darkness and light unfolds. The rising star co-wrote 12 of 13 tracks and even plays bass and drums on select songs, carving a path of utterly authentic country music; fearless, proud and with two middle fingers in the air.
 
Built on a bronc-bucking beat, dark twang and a barely contained sense of danger, Cauthen marked his album announcement with the release of his electrifying “Texas Swagger.” The track came with a strutting music video, directed and shot by Gus Black and Randy Quartieri, and filmed at the BuckTown bull riding compound of legend JB Mauney – another true original. 

Other early releases combine Soul pop and gospel twang in “Bayou By You,” while the hypnotic, outlaw-country romance of “Ain’t No Crime” finds Cauthen in a voluntary lockup of love. 
 
With production split between chart-topping songwriter Ryan Tyndell, Steve Rusch (Jessie Murph, Koe Wetzel) and Sam Martinez (Tyler Braden, Carrie Underwood), plus Fustin (Priscilla Block) and Nate Ferraro (Beyoncé), Cauthen’s streak of against-the-grain attitude continues. 
 
Having collaborated with everyone from Shaboozey, Margo Price and Orville Peck to Cody Jinks and Lana Del Rey, Cauthen’s enigmatic “it factor” has been on display since his 2016 solo debut, My Gospel. Landing somewhere in the ether between Waylon Jennings, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis, raucous live shows filled with steel-toed rhinestones and gothic roots rock have cemented his legacy, alongside favorites like “Cocaine Country Dancing” and “Fuck You Money” and the previous albums Room 41, Country Coming Down and Black on Black.

About Paul Cauthen
Whether he knows it or not, every man lives by a code. And for country provocateur Paul Cauthen, that code is simple. Always bet on yourself. A singer-songwriter with a well-documented distaste for playing by anyone else’s rules, the East Texas native spent two decades clawing his way through the country underground, embodying the independent spirit with a monolithic Big Velvet vocal. Fusing classic-country grit, gospel power and a rhinestoned rock edge, four previous albums proclaimed his singular style with a booming baritone and near-biblical swagger. Taught to sing by his grandfather in a Church of Christ, Cauthen hit the scene with the duo Sons of Fathers in 2009, before My Gospel, Room 41, Country Coming Down and Black on Black unveiled a vulnerable, fire-and-brimstone songwriter with brazen Texas attitude – craving deliverance, yet possessed by a “bird dog” instinct for theatrical rapture. Cauthen has toured the world, collaborating with Margo Price, Orville Peck, Cody Jinks and Lana Del Rey. With favorites like “Cocaine Country Dancing,” “Fuck You Money” and his GOLD-certified collab with Shaboozey on “Last Of My Kind,” he counts over 442 million global streams. Cauthen’s fifth album, Book of Paul, takes him further down his path of utterly authentic country music; fearless, proud and with two middle fingers in the air. Co-writing 12 of 13 tracks, the troubadour confesses to his wild side and wrestles with the sin. He spares no detail – and makes no compromise.
