NYC BAND VRSTY SHARE NEW SONG "MASSIVE"

CLOUD CITY EP OUT DECEMBER 4

New York City-based collective VRSTY (pronounced "Varsity") — Joey Varela [vocals], Javy Dorrejo [bass], Chris Cody [drums], and Paul Gregory [guitar] — will release the Cloud City EP via Spinefarm Records on December 4. The band has just dropped the new track "Massive." Listen HERE.

The song is currently in SiriusXM Octane's Test Drive program.

"'Massive' is literally all of my frustrations coming to the surface," Varela says of the song's powerful source of inspiration. "It's years of doing favors and helping other's elevate their careers — only to be told I'm just a copy of 'insert whatever vocalist here' or to be called a background player. Not this time. I remember writing 'Massive,' and the only thought in my head was, 'They don’t take you seriously — but they'll wish they did.'"

VRSTY's music unexpectedly blends metallic grooves and R&B vocal swagger. The band has been grinding in the scene for over five years now, releasing the Lights EP in 2015 and heading on tour to earn their road stripes. They dropped Blck and Blck Deluxe in 2019, with "YOU & I" (412K Spotify streams), "Colorblind" (311K Spotify streams), and "Nola" (278K Spotify streams) quickly establishing themselves as indie fan favorites. The band has tallied over 2 million total streams and looks to open things up even more with the Cloud City EP, which serves as its Spinefarm Records debut.

SHARK ISLAND RELEASE BRAND NEW VIDEO ‘SOMEDAY’ AND DROP THE DELUXE EDITION BLOODLINE 2.020 THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT.

Shark Island - Someday | Deko Entertainment ORDER: https://www.merchbucket.com/collectio... For more information, visit us at: https://www.merchbucket.com/co...

Shark Island was once the house band at the world famous Gazzaris on the Sunset Strip. Signed to Epic Records in 1989 the band released their debut album “Law of the Order”, and also saw the tracks ‘Dangerous’ and ‘Father Time’ featured in the movie Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, as well as the song ‘My City’ from the movie Point Break.

Richard would go on to be part of the short lived supergroup Contraband which also featured Michael Schenker (Scorpions, UFO), and members of L.A. Guns, Ratt and Vixen. They released one album in 1991 before disbanding.

In 2018 the band started work on Bloodline which was recorded in Croatia and Los Angeles. It was limited to self release before being picked up by Deko Entertainment, and fans and critics are liking what they hear.

“So it’s no surprise that this album is good. What is perhaps surprising is just how good it is. Because it’s a hard rock beast….the spirit of old Shark Island is there, and that’s something to celebrate.”

LA Weekly

“We start out with a bang – opener ‘Make A Move’ actually makes me wonder if I have been transported back in time….This would probably be the comeback album of any year. Black is back.”
The RockPit

Richard states this about the new video and song, “Written as a companion song to ‘On and On’, ‘Someday’ is a song about procrastination and our fleeting life as it passes before our eyes.”

Bloodline 2.020 is out now and features the unreleased extended version of “Rocks on the Rocks” and the newly recorded “Someday”.

As part of this deluxe 2.020 version, they are making available limited edition Mega-Bundles (while supplies last), which can be ordered via: https://tinyurl.com/yy45wegx

JOEL HOEKSTRA'S 13 ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM

Subscribe To Our Channel: http://radi.al/SubscribeFrontiers | From the album RUNNING GAMES. Buy or Stream: https://orcd.co/runninggames Joel Hoekstra, best k...

"RUNNING GAMES" DUE FEBRUARY 12, 2021

NEW SINGLE 'HARD TO SAY GOODBYE' OUT TODAY

Joel Hoekstra, best known to rock fans as the current guitarist for Whitesnake and Trans-Siberian Orchestra (and also known for his work with Night Ranger and the Broadway show Rock of Ages), returns with his second album, 'Running Games’ from his electrifying solo project, Joel Hoekstra’s 13 on February 12, 2021. Joined by Russell Allen (vocals), Tony Franklin (bass), Vinny Appice (drums), and Derek Sherinian (keyboards), Joel and company pick up where his debut, 'Dying To Live' left off. Fans can get their first taste of the album with the newly released single 'Hard To Say Goodbye', available on all streaming platforms

Pre-order/save the album here: https://orcd.co/runninggames

Hoekstra once again handles the bulk of the creative process, overseeing production, songwriting and arranging (music and lyrics), and crafting his vision for this powerful hard rock gem. Add Chris Collier’s masterful mixing and the result is ‘70s/’80s classic hard rock with 2020’s muscle. As with the debut, 'Running Games' features an all-star cast of musicians including none other than Russell Allen (vocals), Tony Franklin (bass), Vinny Appice (drums), and Derek Sherinian (keyboards). The amazing Jeff Scott Soto also lends a helping hand with background vocals.

Says Joel, “Years ago, I released three solo albums that were mainly instrumental guitar music. With Joel Hoekstra's 13, I have started to work on something that showcases my production, writing, and playing in the genre that I'm known for, which is melodic hard rock.” Like "Dying to Live", "Running Games" can be described as DIO’ish at it’s heaviest, but is also influenced by the blues- based sound of Whitesnake as well as melodic bands like Foreigner, Journey, and the like. Hoekstra says, "‘Hard to Say Goodbye’ definitely represents the more melodic sound of the album, but rock fans can also look forward to some aggressive tracks."

On ‘Running Games’, lyrically Joel focuses on escaping problems both past and present by providing playful, imaginary, and serious takes on the situations.

Long hailed for his fiery, tasteful guitar playing, Hoekstra’s playing here raises the bar to a new level.

Line-up:

Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake/Trans-Siberian Orchestra) - guitars

Russell Allen (Symphony X, Adrenaline Mob) - lead vocals, backing vocals

Vinny Appice (ex-Black Sabbath, DIO) - drums

New Album 'While Time Disappears' out November 27th!

Dutch rock trio OUR OCEANS have shared their new single "Face Them" along with a music video. It's the fourth single taken from their new album 'While Time Disappears' , which will see a November 27th release via Long Branch Records. "Face Them" is available now as stream and download at your favorite digital platform.

Listen to "Face Them" and pre-order the album 'While Time Disappears' here: https://ouroceans.lnk.to/whiletimedisappears

Singer & guitarist Tymon Kruidenier about 'Face Them':

"'Face Them' is by far the most energetic song on the album, inspired by a drumbeat and guitar riff that Yuma came up with. It’s an incredibly busy song, with its dense rhythms and many key changes. It’s also a very fun song and perhaps a bit more uplifting than the rest of the album. I suspect it features the highest note I ever sang, at the end of the bridge.

We filmed a lot of the recording process of 'While Time Disappears' and even though the quality of the footage is not the best, we thought it was quite suited for a more lighthearted and fun music video for 'Face Them'. This isn't a stylized or serious music video, instead, it gives you a genuine impression of our studio process. Enjoy!"

PRE-ORDER "While Time Disappears" HERE

Our Oceans were formed by singer & guitarist Tymon Kruidenier (Cynic, Exivious). Joining him on bass and drums are his former Exivious colleagues, Robin Zielhorst (Cynic, Onegodless) and Yuma van Eekelen (Quadvium, Pestilence).

Our Oceans’ inventive progressive rock centres on haunting vocal melodies that carry heartfelt cries of longing, anger and despair. Bolstered by lyrical fretless bass lines, vigorous drum beats and captivating guitar riffs, Our Oceans lace singer/songwriter influences with modern, progressive rock elements. Mindful musicianship and introspective lyrics are woven into a deeply melancholic, yet uniquely expansive musical universe.

OUR OCEANS Line Up:

Tymon Kruidenier - vocals & guitars

Robin Zielhorst - bass & vocals

Yuma van Eekelen - drums

GREEN CARNATION Shares Brand New Single, "The World Without a View"

Green Carnation singer Kjetil Nordhus and bass player Stein Roger Sordal invite to listen through the bands new single "The World Without a View", and stoppi...

Norwegian progressive metal act GREEN CARNATION has shared a brand new single, “The World Without a View,” via Bandcamp! Composed, arranged and recorded during the Covid-19 lockdown, the band has dedicated their new single to their fans. “The World Without a View” is a near 10 minute epic and is a digital release only. The recording available now via the band's Bandcamp page HERE.

"This piece of music is made for our fans who had been looking forward to see us live this year and to all those who have graced us with their love and support through the years", says founding member and guitarist Tchort.

2020 was going to be a big year for the band, releasing and supporting their first album for 14 years via Season of Mist in May and celebrating their 20th anniversary as recording artists. Approaching the end of a devastating year for the live music industry the band is happy for the opportunity to release new material much earlier than planned.

Vocalist Kjetil Nordhus adds: "We have managed to be creative in a difficult period for the band, and it feels good to be able to use the lockdown to do something positive."

“The World Without a View” is recorded and mixed by Endre Kirkesola in DUB Studio, mastered by Maor Appelbaum Mastering. Cover design by Costin Chioreanu.

'Leaves of Yesteryear' was released on on May 8 via Season of Mist and can be ordered HERE.

Norwegian prog/avantgarde metal act GREEN CARNATION announced their return to the international metal scene for the anniversary of their cult classic ‘Light of Day, Day of Darkness’ in 2016. After a successful comeback with festival appearances and special shows both in Europe and North America, the Norwegians are ready to release their first new record in 14 years.

GREEN CARNATION from Kristiansand, Norway, was founded as early as 1990. After founding member Tchort joined legends-to-be EMPEROR and continued in SATYRICON and EINHERJER, the band was laid to rest until their debut album ‘A Journey To The End Of The Night’ came out in 2000. Following a period with line-up changes, 2001 marked the release of the bands epic ‘Light of Day, Day of Darkness’.

With their albums ‘A Blessing in Disguise’ (2003) and ‘The Quiet Offspring’ (2005), GREEN CARNATION shifted towards a more rock orientated style, before they surprised everyone with the stripped-down record ‘Acoustic Verses’ in 2006. What followed in the same year is perhaps one of the most spectacular DVD recordings metal history. The band played a show in the mountains, under a 30-meter-high dam. Only a year later, GREEN CARNATION disbanded.

After playing their first reunion show in 2016 and a few more in the following years, the musicians decided it was time to write new material. At the end of 2019, GREEN CARNATION entered the studio with producer Endre Kirkesola (ABBATH, IN VAIN and SOLEFALD), to record ‘Leaves of Yesteryear’.

The album is partially a retrospect on the band’s career, as the progressive metal act pays homage to their past and to their heroes with the re-recording of the classic song ‘My Dark Reflections of Life and Death’ and the BLACK SABBATH-cover ‘Solitude’. With new songs such as ‘Leaves of Yesteryear’, the fans will get a taste of what is to come.

CRYPTODIRA SHARES NEW SINGLE, “WHAT CAN’T BE TAKEN BACK”

"What Can't Be Taken Back" from the new LP 'The Angel of History' - available everywhere on 12/4/2020 via Good Fight Music. Stream, Download, and buy exclusi...

SOPHOMORE ALBUM THE ANGEL OF HISTORY
OUT DECEMBER 4, 2020 VIA GOOD FIGHT MUSIC

The New York-based progressive death metal group, Cryptodira, shared their newest single titled "What Can’t Be Taken Back" from their forthcoming LP The Angel Of History, due out on December 4, 2020, via Good Fight Music. “What Can’t Be Taken Back”, the second single that follows up “A Tendency to Fall,” punches in with a hard-as-nails sonic assault, mid-tempo progressive riffing, and dueling vocals before giving way to the walls of melody that make up the second half of the track.

Speaking on the lyrical content of the single, drummer Matthew Taibi says:

"The most valuable resource anyone has at their disposal is time. What makes it so valuable is the fact that it can’t be reversed—time cannot be taken back. Barring the larger philosophical implications of time’s unreserved movement, suffice it to say that an hour of time should be worth far more than $15."

Guitarist and vocalist Scott Acquavella adds:

"Despite most of our songs having an ever changing series of moods, there is something about "What Can't Be Taken Back" that we feel represents our sonic and emotional spectrum particularly well. It is as furious as it is delicate and there is a common emotive thread running through each section that well-expresses the urgent and weighty nature of the lyrical content."

Right off the heels of their new EP Better Left Unsaid, the band is preparing their sophomore album, The Angel Of History, that acts as the follow up to their critically acclaimed 2017 debut, The Devil's Despair. Heavy Blog is Heavy stated that the LP is the band's "contribution to the ongoing answer for the progressive metal conundrum. It shows that there's still reason and life in the genre, that in its sometimes over the top and too self-serious highs and lows, there are still interesting ideas and powerful emotions to be manifested." Produced by Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me, The Contortionist, Vatican) and Cryptodira, The Angel Of History is available for pre-order here and the new single “What Can’t Be Taken Back” is available to stream here.

POP EVIL DEBUTS NEW SINGLE “BREATHE AGAIN”

The official visualizer for "Breathe Again" - off our upcoming album, Versatile. Follow Pop Evil: Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3liP0Mz Apple Music: https://appl...

PREPARING RELEASE DATE OF
NEW ALBUM VERSATILE

DUE OUT IN 2021 VIA ENTERTAINMENT ONE

STREAM: "Breathe Again"

November 13, 2020 - After teasing something new for the past few days, Michigan's own, POP EVIL, debuted their third single of the year, "Breathe Again", and revealed the title of their sixth album, Versatile, due out in 2021. After surprising their fanbase with the most significant stylistic shift in sound to date with "Work," POP EVIL have championed that success into the explosive catharsis found on their new single. More dialed in than ever, Leigh Kakaty flexes his songwriting growth and vocal capabilities across one of the band's most uplifting and soaring choruses to date. Channeling the groove of their latest Top 10 single “Work” and the chugging riffs of its companion track “Let The Chaos Reign,” "Breathe Again" marks one of POP EVIL's most diverse and captivating releases to date. The band continues to bridge their heaviness with cinematic melody, indicating what's to come on their forthcoming album due out next year via Entertainment One (eOne).

POP EVIL has been a staple at major festivals and in theaters and clubs for over a decade, despite the group's relative youth. As they've ruled the roost with No. 1 Billboard Rock singles like "Trenches," "Deal with the Devil," "Torn to Pieces," "Footsteps," and "Waking Lions," they've taken their inspired message to the people, on tours with modern rock titans and veteran acts alike. The band bunkered down in Los Angeles in the winter of 2019 to put the finishing touches on the yet to be titled new album due out in 2021 via Entertainment One (eOne). The band also enlisted new creative teams of producers and collaborators to emphasize the band's sound's uniquely varied aspects.

As "Breathe Again," "Let The Chaos Reign," and "Work" might suggest, the contrast and fearless genre-defying cross-cultural pollination have never been more pronounced than on album number six. The preproduction process yielded close to 30 songs, whittled down to the most potent 12 representing everything about POP EVIL. This new effort will be the highly anticipated follow up to their self-titled album that came out two years ago to high critical praise, with outlets like Loudwire saying, "their self-titled effort delivers a solid top-to-bottom listen." Collectively, the band's previous five albums account for over 600 million worldwide streams.

Pop Evil is: Leigh Kakaty (Lead Vocals) , Nick Fuelling (Lead Guitar), Dave Grahs (Rhythm Guitar), Matt DiRito (Bass), Hayley Cramer (Drums)

A Scent LIke Wolves - "Bloom" (feat. JT Cavey of Erra)

"'Bloom" follows a couple’s relationship throughout the four seasons of the year. It covers the struggles and hardships of long distance romance. They relish the time they physically have together, but fear that this won’t be enough to sustain their emotional bond."

A Scent LIke Wolves - "Mystic Auras" 

New LP Available 2/19/21

Mystic Auras is a concept album that sets out to uncover the things we desire and why we are drawn to them. Lyrical content on the release ranges from the plights of socioeconomic status quo, depression, the stigma of mental
illness, to the deconstruction of personal and intimate relationships. These are all common themes that are explored in some light throughout the progression of the album. The LP features notable guest appearances from JT Cavey (ERRA), Booka Nile (MAKE THEM SUFFER), Brian Wille(CURRENTS), and Mattéo Gelsomino (NOVELISTS). From an instrumental standpoint, the record is injected with soaring choruses while also giving attention to ambient guitar work. This piece delivers a sound that is both technical and modern—the dual vocal styles between both brothers offer a unique perspective on each song. As a whole, therecord is dynamic while retaining the technical foundation seen in previous releases. A Scent Like Wolves considers Mystic Auras to be their most authentic and exceptional work to date. The album was produced by Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland at Atrium Audio.

W.E.T truly epitomizes what melodic rock has become in the new decade. The key element at the foundation of W.E.T has always been to create a modern melodic hard rock sound that will drive the genre into the future. Combining powerhouse rhythms and top notch production (courtesy of Erik Martensson), the music is equally classic and contemporary. “Retransmission” is nothing else than an absolute milestone, which is well in keeping with the tradition established by the three amazing records that have preceded this one.

Starting with a genre-defining self-titled debut, Robert Såll (the “W” from Work of Art), Erik Mårtensson (the “E” from Eclipse), and Jeff Scott Soto (the “T” from Talisman) accepted the daunting task to give that debut a follow-up, “Rise Up”. After that stellar follow-up, their third opus, “Earthrage”, cemented a legacy of music which will stand the test of time.

BOUNDARIES RELEASE DEBUT FULL-LENGTH YOUR RECEDING WARMTH OUT NOW VIA UNBEATEN RECORDS

"I'd Rather Not Say" is from Boundaries upcoming album, Your Receding Warmth, out November 13th, 2020. Pre-order now at https://boundaries.merchnow.com or fi...

It’s actually difficult to believe that Your Receding Warmth is only their debut album. With it, they’ve proven themselves more than worthy of the excitement surrounding them. Even more exciting is the prospect of what Boundaries might achieve if they can build on the quality of this record going forward. If they do, they may well find themselves held up among some of the best names ever to be considered metalcore. (9/10) - Distorted Sound

Not only a sleeper candidate for 2020’s album of the year, but for one of the finest contemporary offerings the genre has had in recent history, Your Receding Warmth is gritty, raw and visceral while still feeling fluid, smooth and—somehow—polished; an astounding, well-rounded and riveting display of sonically perfect metalcore. (10/10) - New Transcendence

Delivering a sound that equally heavy and dynamic, Boundaries have asserted their ability to meld genres and showcase their influences in a way that is uniquely their own. - Knotfest

Your Receding Warmth is a record bristling with vitality, powerful and hard-hitting in its riffs and structures without ever sounding rote and typical. - The Pit

Boundaries have intensified everything about their music for their LP - HEAVY Magazine

As mystical as it is malevolent, it’s a towering show of strength from an already killer band just starting to realize their powers. - No Echo

November 13, 2020 - Connecticut metal upstarts, Boundaries, released their highly anticipated debut full-length, Your Receding Warmth, through the metallic hardcore bastion, Unbeaten Records. Recorded with producer Randy Leboeuf at Graphic Nature Audio, Your Receding Warmth feels like a long-awaited defining moment for Boundaries and Unbeaten Records and their spreading of ruthless metalcore over the past few years. From building a dedicated fan base over the last few years with their unhinged live performances, Boundaries found their footing with 2019’s EP My Body In Bloom, and now are out to prove exactly why they’re one of the quickest rising metalcore acts in the scene. The record finds the band taking more chances than ever while building upon their inherent ferocity, stories of bleak existence, and the knack for keeping an audience on their toes that has drawn so many people to the band. Your Receding Warmth is out now, available to stream here and order here.

THUNDER announce official video for 'Last One Out Turn Off The Lights'

Pre-order the new album 'All The Right Noises' here : https://thunderband.lnk.to/ATRNID Official video for 'Last One Out Turn Off The Lights' by Thunder List...

British hard-rock heroes, Thunder, have announced the release of their 13th studio album ‘All The Right Noises’ on March 12th, 2021. The band have also shared the first single ‘Last One Out Turn Off The Lights’.

Listen to the track here: https://thunderband.lnk.to/ATRNPR

The album is a return to the full-throttle sound of Thunder that has seen them create a hugely successful 30+ year career at the forefront of British rock, all built around the lifelong friendship of vocalist extraordinaire Danny Bowes and songwriting genius and guitarist Luke Morley.

‘All The Right Noises’ is an intense confection of illicit charms that reasserts their authority as the number one band in the land. Recorded in the months leading up to the first Covid-19 lockdown, it was originally due for release in September 2020. Strange to reflect then on how much of the new material appears to address the challenging new world we now inhabit.

On the album, Luke says “ All the songs were written and recorded pre-Covid. But it is interesting how if you look at some of the tracks through the prism of Covid they still make a lot of sense.”

The volcanic lead single from the album, ‘Last One Out Turn Off The Lights’ could easily be mistaken for world-ending lockdown rage. But, says Luke, “That was directly about Brexit, but you could apply it to everything else.”

The track is indicative of both the ferocity and message of the album as a whole, with subjects tackled including depression, mental health, and diversity. With their knack for imaginative songwriting, ‘All The Right Noises’ also takes aim at Donald Trump in a song written from his perspective, as well as a song Luke describes as “Like the opposite of ‘My Generation” by The Who in its message.

‘All The Right Noise’ will be available in 1CD, 2CD, 2LP, and 4LP formats, with the 2CD and 4LP releases containing bonus tracks.

The LP versions feature a stunning pop-out of the ‘Singing Ringing Tree’ which appears of the album’s glorious artwork. The photo cover art was shot by the band’s long term collaborator Jason Joyce. The sculpture, which also appears in the video for ‘Last One Out Turn Off The Lights’, is set in Burnley, Lancashire, and resembles a tree which harnesses the energy of the wind to create a choral, discordant sound.

‘All The Right Noises’ follows on from 2019’s stripped back and reimagined album, ‘Please Remain Seated’ which continued their consecutive Top 10 UK Album Chart run since their ecstatically received comeback six years ago.

It is another chapter in the band’s incredibly successful history that has seen them create a succession of some of the most highly-regarded rock albums of the past 30 years. The key to their renown: brilliantly conceived top-drawer material including all-time classics like ‘Dirty Love’, and ‘Low Life In High Places’, described by the late great Radio One Rock Show presenter Tommy Vance as “the greatest ever single released by a rock band”.

With their most recent success, Thunder have proven themselves as vital now as when they emerged with their debut album in 1990 ‘Backstreet Symphony’, and their hit follow-up in 1992 ‘Laughing On Judgement Day’, which was only kept off the top spot by Kylie Minogue.

Debut Album 'Echo' Available Now!

Get the album here: https://ivycrown.lnk.to/echo

Ivy Crown about the idea behind the playthrough video:

"'Lonesome and Cold' is a song that has a lot of meaning to us, by being the start track on ‘Echo’, the first single we released from the album and the start riff Natasja wrote 12 years ago. We decided to strip it down to an instrumental song along with making a playthrough video. In addition to that, we hope that everyone does not get lonesome in the cold times ahead of us."

Ivy Crown is a melodic metalcore quartet hailing from the cold streets of Copenhagen, Denmark. Captivating vocals, tight compositions and a heavy sound are all in the formula of their debut album, Echo. These girls are geared to take on the world, and make some necks hurt.

Ivy Crown has risen from the ashes of Taras which was a well-known Danish all-female punk rock band that played shows all over Denmark and the UK, with arena shows and their own episode on Danish national television, DR.

"Echo" is a captivating record about breaking free from poisonous relationships and standing up for yourself, but also about growing with every defeat you encounter.

The debut album was recorded and produced by Chris Kreutzfeldt (Cabal) with assisting vocal production by Mirza Radonjica-Bang (Siamese). The album includes featuring performances by Kadeem France (Loathe), Kim Song Sternkopf (MØL) and Jesper Gün (Ghost Iris) - all talented people who complement the bands vision for the album very well.

WINDIR Discography to be Released on Vinyl for First Time Ever

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the classic WINDIR album '1184', the full discography of the Norwegian cult band will be released on vinyl in 2021. The l...

For decades, fans have been asking for a vinyl release of the iconic and beloved albums of viking/folk metal legends WINDIR. On March 5, 2021, that dream will become a reality! The black metal classics 'Soknardalr,' (1997), 'Arntor' (1999), '1184' (2000), and 'Likferd' (2003) will be available in a special limited edition wooden box set via Season of Mist. 'The Sognametal Legacy' box set is strictly limited to 1184 copies worldwide.

WINDIR was founded by Terje “Valfar” Bakken in 1994 and released four albums in the period of 1997 – 2003. The Norwegian band gained a massive following with their unique blend of black and heavy metal with elements of old Norwegian folk music, solidifying their place among the early developers of the folk and viking metal sound. The identity of the group was strongly connected to their home region Sogn, which was demonstrated in the lyrics and in the concepts of the records. Eventually, they invented and adopted the term ‘Sognametal’ for their style.

The band ended abruptly when Terje “Valfar” Bakken died in 2004. The remaining musicians decided to disband WINDIR and formed VREID to march forward, bearing the torch of the Sognametal legacy.

Jarle Hváll Kvåle, bass guitarist and songwriter of VREID and WINDIR, comments on the release: “I am so happy that we are finally able to do this. There has been such a huge demand to release these albums on vinyl and I really have been looking forward to this day. These records are important cornerstones in our lives and represent a time that was very special to us. It is great to have a strong partner on board, and I am very proud that we can do this together with Season of Mist.

"Next year marks the 20th anniversary of '1184,' and we think this is a great occasion to celebrate this unique album, the most important one in the WINDIR history. With this record, WINDIR became a full band for the first time and it was the first time that me and Terje wrote an album together. It was a time filled with youthful will, aggression, pride, curiosity and of course beautiful naivety.

"So, to celebrate this record and the period it represents, we’ll have the entire WINDIR legacy available on vinyl. I can’t wait to get my hands on the physical copies and see no better way to celebrate the legacy and brotherhood of our fallen comrade Terje.”

Pre-orders have started immediately and are available in the Season of Mist shop HERE.

Norwegian black 'n roll formation VREID have furthermore announced that they will headline the Karmøygeddon festival, with an exclusive '1184' show.

"'1184' is a very important album for us as a band and not least for me personally", states songwriter and bassist Jarle Kvåle. This was the first album Terje and I wrote together. It was the first time that WINDIR became a complete band even though we had played concerts together since 1995 and had been making music together since 1993. It seems inconceivable that it has been 20 years but all the more enjoyable to see how much this record still means to people. We are really looking forward to gather the full band and perform the entire 1184 album at the Karmøygeddon Festival".

Karmøygeddon will take place on May 6 - 8, 2021, in Kopervik, Norway. Find more information HERE.

Thrash Metal Legends EKTOMORF Return To Their Roots on New Album Reborn

Pre-Order the new album "Reborn" here: https://smarturl.it/Ektomorf-Reborn

Out January 22 via Napalm Records

Watch the Music Video for the Title Track “Reborn”

EKTOMORF return to their musical roots and are Reborn under the sign of thrash metal after 26 years of existence. With their debut on Napalm Records, the Hungarian power machine transports the genre into a promising, modern era and sets itself free from any pigeonholes.

Since their debut, Hangok (1994), the four-piece around singer/guitarist Zoltán “Zoli” Farkas has regularly delivered new power to their devotees. Only three years after the release of their chart-breaking full-length, Fury (2018), Reborn ignites a blazing fire with its heavy sound and harsh lyrics that will burn any genre limitations to the ground. Their 15th studio album breathes the spirit of the “Big Four” – Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth – while at the same time, beginning a completely independent new chapter of EKTOMORF.

With the first single and album title track, “Reborn”, EKTOMORF rings in a new era during their 25th year of existence by returning to no-frills-required, brain-searing thrash metal. The first single off the new album kicks in like a wrecking machine and takes no prisoners from the first second on!

Frontman Zoli Farkas about making Reborn:

“This album was written in some very dark times of my life. When you listen to Reborn, you can hear it in the crushing, heavy riffs as well as within the melancholic, beautiful melodies and honest lyrics. Reborn is the album I worked on for the longest period in my career, there are a lot of new ideas in the songs that EKTOMORF has never executed before, intertwined with the roots of the band’s sound. I’m very proud of it. I hope it will give you what it gives to me.”

Pre-Order Reborn HERE:

Reborn will be released worldwide as a bundle Digipak CD along with a patch and shirt, as well as an exclusive red/black splatter gatefold LP with a slipmat and signed poster, limited to 200! The latter will also be available in a bundle with a shirt in North America!

Symphonic Power Metal Unit DRAGONY Rewrites History with New Album, Viribus Unitis

With united forces: DRAGONY unveil the truth and rewrite history!

Founded in 2007 and after releasing three studio records, Austrian symphonic power metal heroes DRAGONY return to their rock opera roots on their brand new album, Viribus Unitis, out January 15, 2021 via Napalm Records. Following up on the conceptual approach of their debut album, Legends, on the new album, the band unveils the true history of their home country. We return to the days when Austria was ruled by emperor Franz Joseph and his wife, empress Sisi – but forget everything you’ve heard and read so far!

Today the band has unleashed an energetic music video for their first single and album opener, “Gods Of War”, setting the stage for their imaginative historical concept to unfold.

DRAGONY about the track:

“The first single "Gods of War" is also the opening track of the album, and sets the stage for the story that is to come: The year is 1867, and Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria is forced to accept the terms of the Austro-Hungarian Compromise after suffering losses in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, effectively establishing the dual monarchy that became known as the "k. & k. Monarchy". In this situation, he is questioning whether his empire even has a future, or only its glorious past.

The music for the song was co-written by Tommy Johansson from SABATON & MAJESTICA with his partner in SYMPHONY OF TRAGEDY, Tomas Svedin, with the vocal lines and lyrics having been composed by our singer Siegfried. Musically, it's therefore a very "Scandinavian-sounding" song that adds another texture to the catalogue of DRAGONY, and we are already very much looking forward to playing this one live at future shows!“

SABATON’s Tommy Johansson on “Gods Of War”:

“What DRAGONY did to “Gods of War” is far beyond what I could have expected it to turn out when this song was written. How they play and sing this song is just glorious! It’s so powerful and you can sing along to the chorus right away. I’m happy and honored I got to be a part of DRAGONY, and the song suits well to the rest of this epic album!”

What really happened at the time of the last Habsburg ruler of Austria, his wife and their son, the troubled Archduke Rudolf, is revealed by the symphonic power metal six-piece on their fourth full-length, Viribus Unitis. Let’s clear the assumption that Rudolph died after trying to take his life at castle Mayerling in 1889. No way! Instead, after his mother Sisi is assassinated in 1898 in Switzerland, he subsequently gets in contact with dark powers which, driven by his desire to be with her again, make him turn to black magic and demonology. Now history takes its true course. There are not only zombies and cyberpunks lurking – DRAGONY also managed to prove further entanglements of well-known personalities you could never imagine…

For the exciting adventure cemented in their upcoming album, the Austrians around former VISIONS OF ATLANTIS singer Siegfried Samer are supported by well-known colleagues like Tommy Johansson (SABATON, MAJESTICA, SYMPHONY OF TRAGEDY), Tomas Svedin (SYMPHONY OF TRAGEDY), Michele Guaitoli (VISIONS OF ATLANTIS) and Georg Neuhauser (SERENITY) - just to name a selection. Mixing and mastering on Viribus Unitis was handled by Sebastian “Seeb” Levermann of ORDEN OGAN in his Greenman Studios in Germany.

Singer Siegfried Samer on the new album, Viribus Unitis:

"Viribus Unitis marks both a return to our musical roots as well as a next step into the future for DRAGONY, as we are returning to a "rock opera concept" album similar to our debut Legends, but at the same time, we have evolved musically and are delivering what we consider our heaviest and most diverse album to date. And even though we are taking a bit of a creative approach with the source material, the concept story of the album is deeply intertwined with the history of Austria and in particular with the end of the Habsburg monarchy, which is often romanticized in Austria and ingrained in our collective consciousness. We are therefore thrilled to be able to release this very special album on an Austrian label, Napalm Records, and hope that both old and new fans of DRAGONY will enjoy the brand new songs!”

Could DRAGONY’s rewriting of history mark a new revelation of hidden truths previously shrouded in fantasy? Only Viribus Unitis tells all!
