UK Modern Alt-Metal Titans VEXED Sign Worldwide Record Deal with Napalm Records

New Music Coming Soon!

Your Flock Will Bleed.https://www.facebook.com/vexedvexedvexed/https://www.instagram.com/Vexedvexedvexed/https://www.twitter.com/vexedworldwidevexedworldwide...

One of the UK’s most exciting rising alt-metal talents VEXED have just signed an official worldwide record deal with premium Austrian rock and metal label Napalm Records.

The crushing Hertfordshire foursome was born in March 2019, and since then the band has been pursuing its desire for heavy groove, unfiltered lyricism and technical proficiency. While other bands dwell on flattery, VEXED bundle a mixture of honest hatred and apt social criticism in their lyrics, and don't mince words for a moment.

VEXED have already dropped two one-off singles independently, including “Elite” featuring Thy Art is Murder vocalist CJ McMahon, which has garnered over 500k cross-platform streams as of now. Both tracks highlight VEXED’s potent combination of aggressive groove mixed with ominous threads of progressive atmosphere, like none of their kind. Due to the worldwide pandemic, the band had to cancel their planned tour with Whitechapel and a scheduled appearance at Bloodstock Festival, but this did not stop them from continuing to push their sonic strength. Be prepared, more exciting news is coming soon!

VEXED on the signing:

“It is with great pride that we can finally announce our signing to Napalm Records. We are truly humbled by the label’s belief in VEXED and their ability to support our creative vision. Napalm is a label with a rich history and a strong presence throughout the world and we can’t wait to share what we have in store for you.”

Tone Mgmt on the signing:

“VEXED have proven time and time again that they are one of the most hard working and exciting new bands the UK has to offer. Their signing to Napalm Records only solidifies this. VEXED really are ones to watch.”

VEXED are:

Megan Targett - vocals

Jay Bacon - guitar

Willem Mason-Geraghty - drums

Al Harper - bass

Late Night Savior's NEW ALT-METAL Cover of Sam Smith’s hit, “How Do You Sleep?” (feat. Royal Bliss) is Turning Some Heads!

“How Do You Sleep?” (feat. Royal Bliss) Out Now via, Rock Shop Records.

IN STORES NOW on Spotify/Applemusic/Pandora/Deezer/Amazon/iTunes/Etc.https://Follow us on social media!FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/latenightsaviorFACE...

LATE NIGHT SAVIOR has teamed up with fellow Salt Lake City, Utah band ROYAL BLISS for a high energy, hard rock/alt-metal cover of SAM SMITH'S 2019 “How Do You Sleep?” (feat. ROYAL BLISS). Produced by Crispin Earl, “How Do You Sleep?” (feat. ROYAL BLISS) is an array of soaring melodies, heavy hitting guitars, huge grooves and modern day production that will scratch the itch of pop, rock and metal fans alike. LATE NIGHT SAVIOR slated to be on ROCK SHOP RECORDS International Showcase Tour slated for the summer of 2021.

“When asked if we wanted to do a cover song for the new album I knew right away which song I would like to do. Sam Smith’s - “How Do You Sleep” is not only a great tune but its very relatable for so many. Feeling as though or knowing someone is trying to deceive you is a horrible feeling all by itself, but its who you become in the midst that might be the worst part. You become like another version of yourself and it can all hit you like the stages of grief. Paranoia, sadness, depression, anxiety, self doubt, anger and hopefully acceptance that without trust there can’t truly be love. We decided to do this song with another Utah native band, our friends in “Royal Bliss” and I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out. Hopefully our version of “How Do You Sleep” does justice to the emotion brought by the original!” - Brandon Johnson – (lead Singer) Late Night Savior

of1000faces 'ANAIRA' from 'The Infinity Line' LP

of1000faces a.k.a. Matt Walker (Morrissey, Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage) presents 'ANAIRA' single from 'The Infinity Line' LP

From the new album 'The Infinity Line' by of1000faces.Video created by Chris Zabriskie and Matt Walkerhttps://of1000faces.bandcamp.com/https://open.spotify.c...

“Gorgeously atmospheric and expansive... ambitious and beautifully grounding... The sound beholds a spiritual element, manifesting in tastefully-paced spatiality and a sense of awe of cosmic proportions" – The Big Takeover

"Elegant and distinctive, with a great sense of wonderment and spaciousness. Like a weaving of reverie between the stars" – The Spill Magazine

"Pristine and simply stunning" – Amplify Music Magazine

"Surreal uncertainty begets serenity in ‘Astronomica’; a visual dance across the stars which portray new pastures as both bleak and beautiful in equal measure" – Ice_NoFruit

"Deserves to be prominently placed in the next Sci-Fi blockbuster movie... the sound of the sonic building blocks of the universe being arranged into drifting dreampop and lush, lingering soundscapes" – Dancing About Architecture

"The new output does not beg, steal or borrow from anything that of1000faces has released to date: influenced by the majesty of landscapes and timeless city scapes, transient futures and a transcendent present, 'The Infinity Line' LP lends an occasional oblique respectful eye-dip towards Bowie’s more extravagant and studious instrumental explorations, and perhaps the serene detail of Sakamoto. This is music that moves by itself without start or finish. This album is a solo voyage" - Chris Connelly (Ministry, Revolting Cocks )

Chicago-based artist of1000faces presents the single 'ANAIRA' from his new album 'The Infinity Line', previewed by the title track. The accompanying space-inspired video was created by Chris Zabriskie and Matt Walker based on film footage from vintage 1960s-era Russian sci-fi films.

of1000faces is the solo project of Matt Walker, a renowned drummer and producer who has worked with some of alternative music’s most iconic artists. For 25 years, he has toured and recorded with Morrissey, Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage and Filter, all the while dedicating himself to myriad side projects, independent bands and film/tv work.

Known for his obsessive writing and recording while on tour, Walker eventually decided to pursue a more singular and personal endeavor. Thus was born of1000faces, the moniker reflecting the project’s inherent premise and, at the same time, a nod to Joseph Campbell’s ‘Hero of 1000 faces’.

"ANAIRA is inspired in part by epic science-fiction poem called 'Aniara' by Harry Martinson, which is about humans turning to space for refuge from a ravaged Earth. The piece is meant to convey a sense of determination and tenuous hope," says Matt Walker.

"The video is a collage of Soviet Era science fiction films, edited into a series of space-age vignettes. Though the retro-futuristic look of these films is a great match for the music, I think the video’s real message is the vision and tenacity of these pioneering film makers."

Following his 'Astronomica' album and video for lead track 'Astronomica', 'The Infinity Line' is the second long-play in his expansive instrumental 'Monomyyth' trilogy. An eclectic instrumental album with ambient DNA, it is less passive than its predecessor, the dynamic scope widened and the general mood darker and more evocative.

'The Infinity LIne' LP is out now digitally across online stores such as Apple Music and streaming platforms such as Spotify and Bandcamp. The 'Astronomica' album is also out on all the same sites, previewed by this sampler video spanning the full album.

UK singer-songwriter Ruth Blake presents invigorating 'Brave Ships' single

“Destined for greater things in the future… Somerset based Ruth Blake … proved the pick of the bunch, channeling the spirit of Joni Mitchell” ~ Drowned in Sound

“With its delicate harmonies, Ruth Blake’s music seems to emanate from a waking dream... made of shades of love, sweetness and strength” ~ David Mboussou, Film Director

“Some of the most beautiful music I have heard in a long time” ~ John Lime, Glastonbury FM

"An extremely talented artist with an uplifting spirit, contagious positive energy, beautiful voice and timbre, meaningful message with impressive depth" ~ The Record Stache

“Visionary works that defy categorisation or label” ~ Jennifer Leach, Outrider Anthems

“A true wonder. Her voice bathes over me as if I have soaked myself in a healing sound-shower” ~ Steve Lee, Gfm

Brave Ships releases 27 Jan 2021 - Pre-order from Bandcamp now https://ruthblake.bandcamp.com/album/brave-ships-single-b-side. The single will be available f...

Singer-songwriter and guitarist Ruth Blake presents her new single 'Brave Ships', inspired by the warm, rich tones and strong rhythmic grooves of the 1970s. The accompanying video was filmed by Paul Blakemore on Sand Bay.

The b-side for this release is titled 'I Am'. A reflection of her soul, these compositions are deep and spacious. Richly bittersweet, this is overflowing with love, creativity and reverance. Both tracks were mastered by Shawn Joseph (Portishead, Jonny Greenwood, PJ Harvey, Bat for Lashes, Peter Green).

Originally from the Midlands, Blake now resides in the mists and vales of Somerset, where she creates multi-faceted folk music that stirs the soul, rich with symbol and storytelling. 'Using 'music as medicine’, this is poignant, lyrical, poetic and even sacred.

'Brave Ships' was birthed in the autumn of 2019 at the home of Ashley Jenkins, a severely disabled swimmer and radio host who regularly inspires his fans to ‘never give up on their dreams’. "He’s a beloved friend and I’m sure it is no coincidence that Brave Ships entered the world through the portal of his home," says Ruth Blake.

"It was just after the peak of Extinction Rebellion activity, a few months before the Covid pandemic struck. I felt deep love of the earth and a desire to see a paradigm shift in the way we relate to the natural world and indeed the world in general. I was riding difficult inner conflicts, asking myself what I felt was being asked of me as we head into the stormy waters of this unique time in human history. It was then that I re-read an exquisite piece of writing entitled 'Letter to a Young Activist During Troubled Times' by one of my all-time favourite authors - Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, who noted that a "soul on deck shines like gold in dark times". The letter struck me anew, rich with symbolic beacons of hopes set amongst the paradoxes of life, reassuring us heartily that we are seaworthy vessels no matter how ragged our flags have become."

While also self-taught, Blake received an unusual musical education from the eccentric and pioneering Young Steinway Artist, composer, pianist and multi-instrumentalist, Edward Chilvers, who persistently encouraged her to believe in herself and develop her gift for music. "Each song is a bit like untangling a complicated knot – the process is utterly obsessive, and somehow inevitable,” says Blake.

In 2015, Blake crowdfunded and released her own debut album of subtle yet poignant folk music - 'Lullabies for Grown-Ups', followed by her colourful second studio album 'Creation' in 2018. Lyrically profound and musically sophisticated, Ruth’s music is born out of her own passion for self-knowledge and the deeper truths of existence.

A member of the Music as Medicine collective and Brightsky Community, she has performed at various festivals. She has recorded at Real World Studios with the enigmatic James Frost, and has been collaborating with Manchester dark-funk 8-piece ensemble Caulbearers, including for their 2020 single 'Over Comes a Cloud'.

A natural progression, Blake collaborated with Damien Mahoney, the driving force behind Caulbearers, who produced and engineered it at his attic studio in Old Trafford. With a creative output ranging from funk, soul and reggae to acid house and Balearic dub, he has collaborated with John Ellis (Cinematic Orchestra, The Breath), Rob Turner (GoGo Penguin), Julie Gordon (Happy Mondays) and producer Seadna Mcphail (Badly Drawn Boy, Doves, Jah Wobble, Everything Everything). He has also remixed RnB artist Faith Evans for EMI.

'Brave Ships' will be released on January 27 and will be available for digital download via Apple Music, as well as streaming platforms such as Spotify. it can already be pre-ordered via Bandcamp.

SYDNEY SHERWOOD Releases Official Lyric Video for "Creep"

Sophomore EP, Headspace, Out February 27th, 2021!

"Creep" by Sydney Sherwood available NOW on all major music platforms!Follow Sydney: https://www.instagram.com/sydsherwoodmusic/?utm_source=ig_embed&hl=enhtt...

New Jersey based Singer / Songwriter SYDNEY SHERWOOD has released the official lyric video for "Creep," which was created by Jared Dylan of Red 13 Studios, and is the first single off of her upcoming, sophomore EP, Headspace. Produced and co-written by Brian Craddock, guitarist of Daughtry and owner of The Cat Room Recording Studio in Nashville, Tennessee, Headspace is due to release on February 27, 2021.

"Being someone that has struggled with anxiety, when it came to writing 'Creep,' I really wanted to give an inside look on what anxiety feels like, the emotions you experience while in a panic attack, and the idea that the same mind that thinks of the beauty of life is also the one that thinks negative thoughts which can really drag you down. I found in my experience that some people didn’t understand what it was like to have anxiety and would just tell me to “be positive” or “just don’t think about it” and I wished they understood or could feel what was going on inside. My main goal with this song was to illustrate the war that goes on in your head when you have anxiety as well as how you can either choose to let fear overcome you or you can overcome that fear. - SYDNEY SHERWOOD

"Sydney is rock's answer to pop's P!NK or country's Carrie Underwood, she exudes all the power and confidence and sings with no-nonsense authority, all while remaining firmly situated in heavy alternative rock. Sydney Sherwood cannot be merely compared to female singers of her generation and writes and performs with a conviction that fans of 3 Doors Down or Daughtry would instantly recognize." - Joe Makoviecki (Singer, songwriter of Jackson Pines)

Sydney Sherwood is an 18-year-old singer/songwriter from New Jersey. Sydney began singing and playing guitar as a way to express her emotions after her brother was diagnosed with cancer.

Since her brother's diagnosis, being a childhood cancer advocate has become a big part of Sydney's life. She has performed and spoken at many childhood cancer events over the past twelve years and continues to be a voice for all children with cancer, as well as their siblings.

Sydney began writing her own music when she was 13, and on March 3, 2019, she released her first EP, Beauty from Ashes. Her release show was held at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey. In 2019, Sydney also received a golden ticket to Hollywood from American Idol celebrity judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie.

Over the course of the pandemic, Sydney has been writing and recording her new album, Headspace, which will be released February 27, 2021.

Sydney’s goal is to touch the lives of others through the music that she writes, as she takes inspiration directly from her life experiences.

BUGGIN DEBUT NEW SINGLE “BRAINFREEZE”

ANNOUNCE NEW 2 SONG SINGLE
OUT JANUARY 29th VIA FLATSPOT RECORDS

LISTEN: "Brainfreeze"

The relatively new Chicago hardcore group BUGGIN announced their signing to Flatspot Records recently and today the band has announced their debut release for the label titled Brainfreeze, due out January 29, 2021. The occasion was accompanied by the premiere of the high energy title track “Brainfreeze” via BrooklynVegan. The b-side features a take on Beastie Boys’ 1992 track “Gratitude”, a perfect fit for BUGGIN’s knack to mix unstoppable groove and heaviness. Hear the lead single “Brainfreeze” here today and find the physical release available on the 29th here.

Formed in 2018, Chicago’s BUGGIN is keeping hardcore fun. The young quartet has quickly made a name for themselves with inescapable grooves and sneering energy. Originally known as Buggin Out, taken from the 1989 film Do The Right Thing, the now named BUGGIN took it upon themselves to play the type of straight-up hardcore they found lacking in their scene, vibrant and unpretentious. Founded on a shared love of Rzl Dzl, Bad Brains, Mental and Beastie Boys, and not taking themselves too seriously, the band is made up of Bryanna Bennett (vocals), Peyton Roberts (guitar), Brandon Santos (bass), and Michael Rasmussen (drums).

In early 2021, BUGGIN joins the Flatspot Records ranks with their new two-song release Brainfreeze, featuring the single of the same name that explores a lack of ability to express feelings for another person while the b-side features a rip-roaring cover of Beastie Boys’ “Gratitude”. Recorded, mixed, and mastered in the band’s hometown of Chicago with Andy Nelson (Weekend Nachos) at Bricktop Recording, with the exception of the vocals which were recorded in Philadelphia with Aaron Heard (Jesus Piece), BUGGIN’s crisp production and refreshing drive come across effortlessly. Having shared the stage with the likes of Show Me the Body, Ekulu, Illusion, as well as appearances at LDB Fest and the Rumble, after only a demo and their 2020 Buggin Out EP, BUGGIN is just starting to share their wealth of energy with the world of hardcore.

Norse Heavy Metal Legends EINHERJER Release Second Single and Video “The Blood And The Iron”

Re-Mastered Version of Legendary Debut Album, Dragons Of The North, out February 26

Where's your horizon?

Where's your light of day?

Will the tide ever turn?

We're all cast away”

Viking Metal pioneers EINHERJER will release their eighth studio album, North Star, on February 26, proving their status as the pioneers of blending Nordic Black Metal and Folk Metal genres into pure Norse Heavy Metal once again.

The album marks the band’s return to Napalm Records after 25 years, and the release of their legendary Dragons Of The North album (1996), which will be re-released as a re-mastered version on February 26 as well.

With powerful double bass grooves, a catchy chorus and technically skilled guitar solos, EINHERJER are more uncompromising and energetic than ever on "The Blood And The Iron"! The second single is underlined by a strikingly authentic video, recorded at Bukkøy Viking Village in Norway, that takes you straight into medieval times, when blood and iron was all humanity could rely on.

EINHERJER on “The Blood And The Iron”:

“‘The Blood and the Iron’ is a total ripper! An energy blast with topical lyrics. Not political, but as close as we get to environmentally engaged. A focus shift from warfare and a blood & iron policy to the welfare of our own planet could do wonders. It could even mean a future.”

North Star was recorded in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic at the in-house Studio Borealis, owned by founding member and mastermind Frode Glesnes. The raw production ties in seamlessly with its predecessor Norrøne Spor and makes North Star probably the most powerful EINHERJER album to date! North Star is EINHERJER's musical mission towards something bigger - the search for guidance by the North Star in a constantly changing world that is searching for stability.

EINHERJER on North Star:

"North Star is our 8th full length album, and follows in the (Norse) tracks of Norrøne Spor. The North Star is a symbol with numerous meanings. It can be guidance, or it can be a personal mission. Something to reach for. It's the Anchor of the Northern Sky. We need something steady in this rapidly shifting world we live in. The North Star album is us reaching for something greater. Developing ourselves through a musical journey in classic EINHERJER style – no bullshit, just proper Norse Heavy Metal!”

North Star will be available in the following formats:

‘68 ANNOUNCE THIRD ALBUM GIVE ONE TAKE ONE DUE OUT MARCH 26th VIA COOKING VINYL

DEBUT NEW SINGLE AND MUSIC VIDEO
“THE KNIFE, THE KNIFE, THE KNIFE”

Official music video for a song on the upcoming album 'Give One Take One' that will be out on March 26th but you can pre order that bad boy right now at http...

PREORDER: Give One Take One

The noisy Atlanta duo ‘68 announced their highly anticipated third full-length album Give One Take One, due out March 26 via Cooking Vinyl. To celebrate the momentous occasion, the band debuted the lead single “The Knife, The Knife, The Knife” alongside a music video created by vocalist and guitarist Josh Scogin (The Chariot, Norma Jean). Completed by drummer Nikko Yamada, the duo burst in with their signature blues-inspired and crushing wall of sound, marking some of their catchiest work yet with tinges of doom, alternative rock, offering only a moment of reprieve before diving into the distinctive and heavy chorus. Produced by the Grammy-winner Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Rush, Alice In Chains), who became a believer after just a few songs of a ’68 live set, Give One Take One offers the best of the band’s raucous yet dynamic songwriting with plenty of personalities and indomitable groove. The album follows on the heels of the band’s 2020 EP, Love Is Ain’t Dead, which was also recorded with Raskulinecz when their touring plans to support Korn and Faith No More were derailed by the pandemic. Give One Take One is available for pre-order here and “The Knife, The Knife, The Knife'' is available to stream here.

Speaking on the announcement, Josh Scogin says:
“Of all the music I've created over the years, this album holds some of my very favorite moments, lyrically, musically, and even mentally; I travel down several roads that are equal parts therapeutic to get off my chest and terrifying to share with the world. I believe you can feel the tangible joy that music gives each of us in this album; Nick captured the explosive and implosive nature that keeps '68 moving forward. You can hear the passion and the sincerity that Nick, Nikko, and I have for the art of creating sounds. I'm so proud of this album and humbled by the journey that it took to get here. And if I'm honest, the vast majority of my thoughts are circled around the hope that we will be able to perform these songs live one day soon.”

How much noise can two people make? ‘68 is the sound of simultaneous implosion and explosion, of destruction and creation unbound. These are songs that could almost fall apart at any moment, yet never do, devilishly dancing between life and death. It’s a primitive impulse delivered with postmodern purpose; a blacksmith’s resolve with an arsenal of electric distortion and raw nerve.

Josh Scogin kickstarted his small band with the big sound in 2013, naming the two-man outfit he modestly undersells as “a little rock, a little blues, a little hardcore” after his father’s old Camaro. And there’s a muscle car-sized rumble beneath the hood of what the Atlanta, Georgia native and his percussive partner-in-crime, Nikko Yamada, unleash with an array of guitar, bass, drums, keys, and pedals, careening between swinging barnburners, wild haymakers, and moody atmosphere.

The ’68 roadshow has taken them from Moscow to Tel Aviv, across Europe and Australia and all-over North America, often splitting up 20-hour drives between the two guys. The passion, the hunger, the good humor, it all connects with diverse crowds. Deliciously stripped down and vibrant, ’68 excels in intimate environments, to be sure, but is no less unignorable on giant festival stages or on the road with Bring Me The Horizon, Stone Sour, Beartooth, Avatar, August Burns Red, The Amity Affliction, and Underoath, where they’ve earned new converts every day.

In Humor and Sadness, the first album by ’68, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard New Artist Chart. Two Parts Viper followed in 2017. “[‘68] bring the noise in the most righteous ways, caring less about the scene they came up through, the bloodless drivel that passes as ‘indie’ and the boring earnestness currently permeating ‘punk,’” declared Alternative Press. “Two Parts Viper is the best record of the year. Throw a copy in my casket, because I’ll never be done listening to it.”

Grammy-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Rush, Alice In Chains) became a believer after just a few songs of a ’68 set. On Give One Take One, crafted with Raskulinecz in Nashville, the band’s high intensity bombast threatens but never swallows the underlying groove.

With the same spirit of scrappy “winging it” and punchy minimalism that powered the Flat Duo Jets and The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, ’68 push forward the pure rock traditions of audacity and disruption. Scogin gives everything to the microphone, as if singing to redeem his soul. He wields his guitar and keys like weapons, pulverizing away any false pretenses. It’s about the riff and the kick. It’s immediate. It’s alive. And it’s fun. Sweaty catharsis, cutting missives, surrendered by ’68 as if the world depends on them. Because in ’68, less is more. Oh, so much more.

MAGNUS KARLSSON ANNOUNCES NEW PROJECT HEART HEALER, AN EPIC METAL OPERA, TO RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM VIA FRONTIERS MUSIC SRL

FEATURES SEVEN STUNNING VOCALISTS

"THE METAL OPERA by MAGNUS KARLSSON"

COMING MARCH 12, 2021

FIRST SINGLE + VIDEO, 'INTO THE UNKNOWN' feat. NOORA LOUHIMO OUT NOW

Subscribe To Our Channel: http://radi.al/SubscribeFrontiers | From the album "A Metal Opera by Magnus Karlsson". Buy or Stream: https://orcd.co/hearthealerFr...

Frontiers Music Srl is thrilled to announce the debut album from HEART HEALER, an ambitious new project by revered Swedish guitarist Magnus Karlsson. The debut album, "The Metal Opera by Magnus Karlsson" will be released on March 12, 2021. Today, fans can get their first taste of the album with the single and video 'Into The Unknown' featuring the incredible Finnish vocalist Noora Louhimo.

Pre-order/save "The Metal Opera by Magnus Karlsson" on CD, Color Vinyl, & Digital HERE: https://orcd.co/hearthealer

Heart Healer's debut album, “The Metal Opera by Magnus Karlsson” is an epic metal opera featuring seven absolutely awesome vocalists playing different characters to weave an epic tale. It's a wonderful mix of up-and-coming talent and established artists including Adrienne Cowan (Seven Spires, Sascha Paeth's Masters Of Ceremony, Avantasia), Netta Laurenne (Smackbound, Laurenne/Louhimo), Youmna Jreissati (Ostura), Ailyn(Her Chariot Awaits, ex-Sirenia), Noora Louhimo (Battle Beast), Margarita Monet (Edge of Paradise), and Anette Olzon (The Dark Element, ex-Nightwish).

Heart Healer's debut is a stunning piece of work, the culmination of more than 20 years of blood, sweat, and tears put into writing and performing music by one of the most esteemed musicians and producers in the European metal scene. Karlsson's resume includes, but is not limited to, Last Tribe, Allen/Lande, Primal Fear, Kiske/Somerville, The Ferrymen, and his other project, Magnus Karlsson's Free Fall.

For this latest endeavor, Karlsson worked on his biggest and boldest production to date, enlisting some world class orchestra musicians and weaving in no less than seven outstanding singers, who appear as various characters over the course of the story told on Heart Healer's metal opera.

In Karlsson’s words, "my interest in orchestral music has been growing increasingly during the years. I wanted to mix the epic and dramatic orchestral sound with metal and produce something without any limits and rules. At the end of 2019, I started to work on ideas and tried new sounds and arrangements with the goal to create something dramatic, epic, and beautiful. This is easily my biggest and most demanding work ever. First the music with big arrangements and orchestra. Then all the singers and the need to find the right parts for everyone to make it as good as possible. Finally, mixing it all together in an interesting story about the 'heart healer'. I have to say, if I didn’t work with such great and professional people it would be impossible to make this happen!”

Musically, “The Metal Opera by Magnus Karlsson” can only be described with one word: grandiose. Arrangements, performances, and production, everything is over the top and while Magnus Karlsson’s signature style can easily be recognized, there is a Hans Zimmer soundtrack feeling to it all.

The opera is about The Heart Healer, a character played by the awesome Adrienne Cowan, who wakes up with no memory and does not know who she is. She soon finds out that she can heal people with just a touch of her hand, but every time she does, she gets weaker. On her journey to find out who she really is, she meets new characters who want to help her, those who want her help, and those who are scared of her and start to hunt her.

"I have worked with so many amazing singers in my career, but mostly male singers,” says Magnus. "I have of course worked with some incredible female singers such as Noora Louhimo, Amanda Somerville, and Anette Olzon, for example. But I really wanted to write for and record with more female singers and this was a perfect opportunity. I also saw that my label Frontiers had signed a lot of awesome bands with female singers and that also got me inspired. Of course I want to have the best singers, but I also want to have different kinds of singers. They all have very unique voices and sing in different styles, which is very important for a project like this.”

While it is true there’s a lot of symphonic metal out there and metal operas have been done before, Karlsson adds, "I think this has something different. It’s not just a bunch of songs. It’s a journey with epic music and beautiful voices.”

Line-up:

Magnus Karlsson - Guitars, Bass, Keyboards

Anders Köllerfors - Drums

Daniel Tengberg - Cello

Erika Sävström Engman - Violin

Adrienne Cowan (Seven Spires, Masters of Ceremony)

Directed by Ridge Beck, "Mr. Danger" is the band's first single off of their upcoming, freshman album, Dirty Damn Tricks, due out March 26, 2021.

"Mr. Danger is our ode to living fast and loose. As our debut single, it serves as a call to arms for rock n’ roll fans everywhere to stand up, get loud, and to never let the genre die without a hell of a fight." - THE LA MAYBE

The L.A. Maybe is a 6-piece rock n' roll band hailing from the southern heat of the Carolinas. If you’re a fan of Guns N' Roses, The Black Crowes, or Van Halen…you will feel right at home adding LAM to your record collection.

Lead vocalist Alvi Robinson (who was one of only four singers to audition to replace Brian Johnson in AC/DC in 2016) lays down gritty, passionate vocals while the rest of the band back him up with slithering riffs, huge catchy hooks, and ripping guitar solos.

LAM firmly plants its feet at the very forefront of the New Wave of Classic Rock movement and you’re sure to have at least one of their choruses stuck in your head at any given moment.

Drawing influence from nearly every style of music, The L.A. Maybe put on an electrifying live show and stand for everything you love about rock music, old and new.

IAN ABEL BAND Releases New Single, "Not Afraid to Die"!

"Not Afraid to Die" Selected as Soundtrack for CODY RHODES vs DARBY ALLEN on AEW's FULL GEAR!

First heard as the theme for the Cody vs Darby, TNT Championship, match at AEW Full Gear 2020Vocals + Guitar: Ian AbelAdditional Guitar: Reed WolcottDrums: J...

L.A. Based IAN ABEL BAND has released their new single, "Not Afraid to Die." Produced by Jon Graber, "Not Afraid to Die" debuted as the theme for the Cody vs Darby TNT Championship match at AEW Full Gear 2020, the second of the band's singles to be showcased on the popular professional wrestling company's pay-per-view shows (2019 released "Shoes" was featured as the theme for the Dustin Rhodes versus Cody feud leading into AEW’s Double Or Nothing event).

"I wrote and recorded this song specifically for Cody Rhodes. It was originally intended to be the Double or Nothing, Cody vs Dustin, promo, but Cody preferred "Shoes". At the time, AEW was just beginning and I wanted to write something that I thought captured Cody's trailblazer like spirit. In hindsight, the song was better suited for the video package which included, Steve-O, Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin. Three very original performers who have paved their own way into history. Something I admire and am attempting to do myself." - IAN ABEL

Originally from Louisville Kentucky singer, songwriter, and lead guitar player Ian Abel connected with New York drummer Kenny Schwartz and high school friend Westray Tackett in Los Angeles in early 2017. Together ,with the help of their friend and master audio engineer, Jon Graber, they began tracking an 11 song album in 2018 at United Recording.

The first song released from that recording session, titled “Shoes”, was licensed in May of 2019 to All Elite Wresting for a promotional video for the historic fight between Cody and Dustin Rhodes at the company’s inaugural pay-per-view, Double or Nothing.

Since then, Ian Abel Band added bassist Karthik Suresh, played the world famous Troubadour, relocated to Nashville, and worked again with Cody and AEW in November 2020 for Cody Rhodes vs Darby Allin at the pay-per-view, Full Gear.. Big guitars, big drums and even bigger hooks. That’s what the Ian Abel Band is all about.

Alternative metal band, ALBORN, released a brand new single titled "Cause To Create" to all digital outlets via Imagen Records.

The song was produced by Morgan Rose, 
co-produced and engineered by Jose Urquiza at The Attic Recording Studios, mixed by James "Fluff" Harley and mastered by Vlado Meller.

"We wrote Cause To Create about someone not only getting in the way of your own decisions, but making those decisions for you. I think the pandemic has left everyone feeling vulnerable and angry, and we wanted to paint that picture from our perspective." says Justin Taylor (Lead Vocals, Guitar).

The Official Video for ALBORN's 2nd single, Cause To Create.Produced by Morgan RoseCo-Produced and Engineered by Jose Urquiza at The Attic Recording StudiosM...

“ALBORN RULES!” is a common war cry heard at any Midwestern Alborn show. The band’s fanbase is strong, travels relentlessly and grows with every performance.

Formed in 2016, Northern Illinois based alternative metal band Alborn consists of Justin Taylor (guitar/vocals), Alex Raser (drums/vocals), Zame Lewis (bass) and Nate Guske (guitar). Their sound has been compared to Deftones or a heavier version of Alice in Chains, but make no mistake, Alborn has created something unique, hard and melodic.

As a startup, Alborn existed only as a cover band under the name of Alborn Theory, but that’s not who they wanted to be. “I was working 70+ hours a week and my band was playing 4 hour shows ALL the time,” says Justin. The band shortened the name to Alborn and got to work creating the band they always envisioned. The hard labor paid off and resulted in them winning multiple Battle of the Bands competitions. For one of those, the grand prize was a studio session with Jose Urquiza of the band 3 Years Hollow and The Attic Recording Studios. As part of that session, another opportunity surfaced. Morgan Rose of Sevendust heard the demos and expressed interest in producing them.

As a result, in late 2018, Alborn tracked 10 original songs with Morgan and Jose. “I was brought in to do some producing with Alborn and what grabbed my attention immediately was that they refused to conform to a formula. They wanted to be themselves from the start. It’s rare to find a band so young not wanting to follow an easy trend. I was impressed right out of the gate," says Morgan Rose.

After tracking those 10 songs, Alborn started playing every live show they could and the fanbase just kept growing. In late 2019 and early 2020, Alborn started making moves. The band played a weekend of shows with Sevendust including a Champaign, IL, sellout. They then followed that up with sold out shows with Buckcherry and Adelitas Way. The momentum was building and so was the chatter. So much so, Imagen Records was interested in signing them. Meetings with radio executives were scheduled in New York and then... Covid 19 put the plans on hold.

In August 2020, the band inked a distribution deal with Imagen Records (ADA, Warner Music)and released their debut EP, Impairative on August 28th, 2020. The EP contains 5 songs: 4 originals and one killer cover of Alice In Chains' "We Die Young."

Come October, Alborn followed Impairative by releasing their single “Full Circle” and it landed on Sirius XM Octane, Music Choice and the coveted “Rock Hard” Spotify editorial playlist. The band is poised to follow up this success with their next single, “Cause To Create” in January 2021 and there are many more singles to follow.

For now, the world is still dealing with a pandemic. But it too will pass. Which means, it’s a matter of time before touring starts again and you hear “ALBORN RULES!“ at a live show near you.

Upcoming Shows: 
March 20th: Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds, Davenport, IA 
June 5: Farmer City Heritage Days with Saliva & Tantric, Farmer City, IL

ALBORN is: 
Justin Taylor: Lead Vocals & Guitar 
Nate Guske: Guitar & Vocals 
Alex Raser: Drums & Screams 
Zame Lewis: Bass

PHANTOM ELITE RELEASE NEW STUDIO ALBUM

"TITANIUM" OUT NOW VIA FRONTIERS MUSIC SLR

NEW MUSIC VIDEO, 'GLASS CROWN' PREMIERING NOW

Subscribe To Our Channel: http://radi.al/SubscribeFrontiers | From the album TITANIUM. Buy or Stream: https://orcd.co/phantomeliteDutch/Brazilian metal act P...

Dutch/Brazilian metal act Phantom Elite have released their sophomore album, "Titanium" via Frontiers Music Srl today. Additionally, the band has also released the new music video for 'Glass Crown'.

Stream or purchase physical copies HERE: https://orcd.co/phantomelite

Phantom Elite is a relatively new metal band fronted by singer Marina La Torraca (Exit Eden, live vocalist for Avantasia) and features executive production from former After Forever guitarist and producer Sander Gommans. Songwriters Marina, Max van Esch (guitars), and Joeri Warmerdam (drums) are set to unleash an incredible slice of contemporary sounding heavy metal music in their sophomore album “Titanium”. Sonically, the band is a perfect combination of symphonic, progressive, alternative, and heavy metal.

Vocalist Marina La Torraca says that, "our album TITANIUM is the result of musicians who had never written songs together before, mixing all sorts of influences, and sharing their passion for music and arts. It definitely wasn’t easy, but all the work paid off in a consistent, melodic, modern and heavy sounding album, which we hope will be a safe haven and source of strength for many music fans through such weird times."

Regarding the new music video 'Glass Crown', she continues "It’s a cautionary tale about social media culture, a competition for a fragile glass crown. Who has never felt sick of it all? Filters, all the carefully curated content and complex levels of pressure points, it wears on you. We, as artists, need it as a platform to share our work, but we can also make a stand. And who said headbanging and dancing don’t go together?"

Originating six years ago, the seeds of Phantom Elite sprang from Sander Gomman's HDK project. While releasing the HDK album "Serenades of the Netherworld", Gommans brought together a group of young musicians with the intent of playing HDK's songs in a live setting. The natural chemistry among these passionate musicians wound up sparking a wealth of new and exciting musical ideas and thus Phantom Elite was born. The debut album "Wasteland" (2018), and the accompanying well received tour of Europe, showed that Phantom Elite are ready to take flight.

Line-up:

All vocals by Marina La Torraca, except “Silver Lining” guest vocals by Amanda Somerville, “Eyes Wide Open” choir backing vocals with Amanda Somerville, “Worst Part of Me” guest vocals by Stef Rikken

All guitars & bass by Max van Esch

Keys by Koen Stam

Drums by Joeri Warmerdam

TEN YEARS AFTER TO RELEASE “A STING IN THE TALE” (DELUXE EDITION) THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT.

THIS RELEASE COMES WITH 4 LIVE BONUS TRACKS INCLUDING THEIR HIT SONG “I’D LOVE TO CHANGE THE WORLD”.

This is the music video of the first single of the new album A Sting In The Tale by Ten Years After. Stream or download the song here: https://ten-years-afte...

Ten Years After are best known for their Platinum selling album “A Space in Time” which featured the Top 40 hit "I'd Love to Change the World", and their prodigious performance appearance at the Woodstock Festival in upstate New York, August 1969. Their rendition of "I'm Going Home" was featured in both the subsequent film and soundtrack album and catapulted them to star status.

Original members Ric Lee and Chick Churchill have continued this legacy and are now rounded out by Guitarist/Vocalist Marcus Bonfanti and Bass Icon Colin Hodgkinson. “A Sting in the Tale” was engineered and produced by Bonfanti at his ‘Cricklewood Green’ Studios in Cricklewood, North London and mixed by acclaimed Canadian mix engineer Doug Organ in Edmonton Canada. The 4 bonus live tracks, including “I’d Love To Change The World” were recorded during a subsequent tour in Erfurt, Germany. As Drummer Ric Lee states, “The creative process of the studio album was a joy. Writing and recording together, being able to construct songs that reflect the personalities, memories and experiences of each of the members was extremely satisfying. We’re very happy that Deko suggested adding four ‘live’ bonus tracks to make this the DeLuxe Edition.

The title “A Sting In The Tale” reflects the same sentiment Ric & Chick wished to convey in the 2015 live album “The Name Remains The Same”. Through the new lineup the music continues to evolve and grow fifty years on. The sound of the band will always be heavily rooted in the way they paved the way during the late sixties and early seventies and will never forget its incredible heritage. This new record is the ‘Sting’ in the continuing Tale of Ten Years After. Deko Entertainment Bruce Pucciarello on Ten Years After joining the Deko family, “Their story is legend and working with these guys at DEKO has been a privilege. The album, classic organic contemporary, forward, it just rocks. You put it on…you can’t just listen once.”

The subject material on the album ranges from childhood memories of growing up in post war Britain, songs of love lost to the rock n roll lifestyle as well as sincere odes to a life well lived. They pay homage to the steam train drivers of the past and guitar heroes of the future as well as other interesting characters the band have encountered since they embarked on this journey over fifty years ago. Featuring tracks like “Land of Vandals”, “Suranne Suranne”, and “Up in Smoke” this album has critics raving.

“….is a showcase for their long-matured blues, rock and jazz blend, with tracks like Iron Horse, Up In Smoke and the engagingly mournful Stoned Alone full of seasoned virtuosity.”
CLASSIC ROCK

“….a healthy dose of tasty guitar licks, strong vocals, and plenty of groove. Bonfanti is a very capable player and vocalist…"Land of the Vandals" and "Iron Horse" kick off the album and provide a potent 1-2 punch, complete with hot licks and catchy hooks.”
