OPERA DIABOLICUS Reveals New Album Details, Shares First Single

Swedish horror outfit OPERA DIABOLICUS will be releasing a brand new full-length, 'Death on a Pale Horse,' on November 26, 2021 via Season of Mist! The cover art, tracklist, and other details can be found below. The band is now sharing the epic first single, 'Darkest Doom on the Brightest of Days,' along with a music video! The song and accompanying clip can be found below.

OPERA DIABOLICUS comments: "Finally, the cat is out of the bag and we’re ready to unleash the first song of the upcoming album. The song itself, entitled ´Darkest Doom on the Brightest of Days,' gives a good hint of things to come and displays excellent performances from both Mats Levén (Skyblood, Krux, Ex-Candlemass, Ex-Therion etc.) and Snowy Shaw (Notre Dame, Ex-King Diamond, Ex-Mercyful Fate etc) as well as the outstanding job by Mixmaster Jens Bogren (Fascination Street Studios). Accompanied with a fantastic lyric video that really catches the mystique of the song we believe this will entice disciples of epic horror metal in the vein of King Diamond, Mercyful Fate and Candlemass. So, if you’re one of those disciples, please enjoy and mark the date of the forthcoming release in your calendar."

'Darkest Doom on the Brightest of Days' is now available to pre-order HERE.

Listen everybody, bring out OPERA DIABOLICUS! The Swedish combo have created the perfect horror musical with a little help from their friends Mats Levén (Candlemass, Therion, Skyblood), Snowy Shaw (King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Therion, Notre Dame), Andy La Rocque (King Diamond) and Michael Denner (King Diamond, Mercyful Fate)! With ‘Death on a Pale Horse’, the Swedes bring you an epic tale of witchcraft, the black death and revenge!

Established by the two antagonists David Grimore and Adrian de Crow in Gothenburg in the mid-2000s, Swedish horror entity OPERA DIABOLICUSseeks to scourge the earth with their music, mischief, and schemes!

Through burning hatred and mutual dislike to one another and with one prior album released under their belt (entitled †1614, released 2012), they’ve now conjured their sophomore offspring with music that could be described as epic horror metal, and thus would greatly appeal to fans of acts like KING DIAMOND, CANDLEMASS, MERCYFUL FATE and so forth.

With a little help from their friends, whom brilliantly have assisted with their tools of their trade, plus the eminent Jens Bogren’s (OPETH, SEPULTURA, ROTTING CHRIST, DIMMU BORGIR) mixing and mastering skill, the result speaks for itself.

German Hard Rock Veterans PINK CREAM 69 Sign with Steamhammer/SPV - New Studio Album Coming Spring 2022

Band members currently working on new material

Steamhammer/SPV are opening the autumn 2021 season with a real bang, taking advantage of the increasingly upbeat mood after that nerve-wracking lockdown. Pink Cream 69, one of the most renowned and longest-serving hard rock bands on the German music scene, has signed with the Hanover-based label. The quintet – consisting of David Readman (vocals), Alfred Koffler (guitar), Marco Wriedt (guitar), Roman Beselt (bass), and Chris Schmidt (drums) – currently finds itself in the songwriting process for its next studio album.

Alfred Koffler shares: “At the moment we are sifting through and sorting the new material. There are currently about thirty tangible ideas for new tracks, which we are, as always, subjecting to a thorough selection process in order to deliver a homogenous album.”

The production for their as-of-yet untitled new release is scheduled to begin in the coming weeks. Koffler hopes that the record will be ready to be mixed in December 2021, and the release of a single including video is scheduled to precede the arrival of the album. Pink Cream 69 have enlisted their former bassist Dennis Ward (Unisonic, Place Vendome, Gus G.) as sound engineer to mix and master their latest offering. As a little bonus 'thank-you' and taste of the good things to come which everyone is so eagerly hoping for, the band has re-recorded their song, ‘Better Days’, in an acoustic version, which is out now and can be found below.

With this signing, Pink Cream 69 has returned to the Steamhammer/SPV fold almost 18 years after the release of their 2004 album ‘Thunderdome’.

Alfred Koffler is delighted: “Since ‘Thunderdome’, the contact with Steamhammer`s A&R manager Olly Hahn, who did a great job back then, has never ceased. That`s why we have absolute trust in SPV and feel that we are in good hands. We’re confident that our collaboration will be a fruitful one again.”

Olly Hahn is also thrilled with this successful coup: “In Pink Cream 69, one of the strongest and most charismatic German hard rock bands of the past thirty years, is returning to the Steamhammer roster. We’re proud and very happy and look forward to the coming months, which will definitely be very exciting.“

Märvel Release ABBA-Inspired New Single + Video for "Slasher with a Broken Heart"

The love story of ABBA’s Agnetha Fältskog and her Dutch stalker told by Swedish rockers Märvel

New Single and Music Video ”Slasher with a Broken Heart” Out Now!

Swedish power-trio Märvel have launched their single and music video ”Slasher with a Broken Heart”. The track is the first taste of an upcoming studio album that will be released in 2022 as part of the band’s 20th anniversary. Inspired by the love story between ABBA singer Agnetha Fältskog and her stalker, ”Slasher with a Broken Heart” tells a tale of both love, loneliness, and obsession, all filtered through Märvel’s energetic, powerful, and undoubtedly catchy take on melodic garage rock.

Guitarist/Vocalist The King explains the song:

”This song is about the relationship between ABBA singer Agnetha Fältskog and her stalker, Gert van der Graaf. After falling head over heels in love with Agnetha, Gert bought a house next to the superstar, and the two somehow eventually ended up as a couple. However falling in love with your stalker is not a good way to start a relationship, and when Agnetha eventually broke up with Gert, he turned completely mad. As mad as a Slasher with a Broken heart. It all ended up with ’someone standing in the bushes behind your house….’”

The King continues:

”Even for a creepy stalker, loneliness is a terrible feeling. It’s something affecting all humans. I find that interesting, and it’s something that inspired me to write this song”

”Slasher with a Broken Heart” is out now via The Sign Records. The single was released with a music video. More music from Märvel coming soon.

Italian modern Symphonic Power Metal maestros TEMPERANCE present the first single cut from their new studio album, Diamanti.

With millions of streams across all platforms, TEMPERANCE are shaping up to be amongst the elite of Symphonic Metal!

Michele Guaitoli (vocals, piano) on the new single:

“This song is proof that when we work as a team, we are limitless. I wrote this track 2 years ago, and it was a long suite with over 7 minutes of music. When Marco heard it, he saw a completely different potential in it and we started editing and working together. Basically, the intro and the chorus are the only elements that didn’t change if not for some little adjustments, the verses and the overall structure has been re-arranged during our songwriting sessions and the final result is just magic. This track leaves you breathless and makes your heart beating fast from the beginning to the end.

Check Out The Music Video For “Pure Life Unfolds”

After releasing their vibrant fifth studio album, Viridian, in 2020, TEMPERANCE – maestros of modern melodic/symphonic metal – delight their devotees with the persuasive new offering Diamanti, to be released on November 19, 2021, via Napalm Records. With Diamanti, the exceptionally skilled Italian outfit once again showcases their extraordinary ability to merge brilliant vocal melodies, hefty power metal guitar riffing, and symphonic soundscapes in perfect harmony – all dressed in modern surroundings. This is an offering that fans of bands like Amaranthe will fall in love with immediately!

Diamanti was mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Epica, Amaranthe), with the cover artwork once again created by Yann Souetre (Ayreon).

Marco Pastorino (vocals, guitar) on the new album:

With Diamanti, we managed to combine our best qualities and selected the best TEMPERANCE songs so far. It's not our heaviest album, it's not our fastest work, but surely it's our favourite one so far!

We weren't necessarily supposed to record a new album only one year after Viridian, but luckily we made it! In this album you will find our trademarks: the vocal harmonies, the catchy melodies, but also epic stuff, strong arrangements, and long tracks - I am very proud of Diamanti and I am convinced we have written a bombastic album!

CARCASS DISCUSS EVOLUTION OF BAND'S SOUND IN NEW ALBUM TRAILER

English extreme metal legends and pioneers of goregrind and death metal CARCASS have released a new album trailer today, in which they discuss the evolution of their sound over their celebrated 35 year career. The clip comes less than two weeks from the release of their massively anticipated album, "Torn Arteries," due out September 17th from Nuclear Blast Records.

Watch Album Trailer #4: Evolution of the Carcass Sound below:

"Torn Arteries" is available for pre-order in a variety of bundles and formats, including CD, Box Set and limited edition vinyl pressings. Pre-order here: http://www.nuclearblast.com/carcass-tornarteries

Ferocious and uncompromising in their execution, CARCASS’s ability to intricately dissect the innards of death metal, and display them for us to sonically understand has been their point of excellence for over three decades. In 2019 the band released their first single in over 5 years “Under The Scalpel Blade,” followed by a 4 song EP entitled Despicable (October 2020), setting a potent precedent for the full length album coming in September: "Torn Arteries." With the album title itself referencing an old demo created by original drummer Ken Owen back in the 80’s, "Torn Arteries" sits as a bookend on the modern side of the CARCASS discography, connecting directly back to where everything began over 30 years ago.

The album artwork also rings reminiscent of the grotesque photography that appears on classic CARCASS album covers like "Reek Of Putrefaction" of "Symphonies of Sickness." Artist Zbigniew Bielak traveled outside his normal wheelhouse to bring forth a time lapsed set of photos showing vegetables shaped like a heart, rotting over time upon a white plate. This form of artwork was influenced by Japanese Kusôzu, meaning: ‘painting of the nine stages of a decaying corpse.’

“It’s very clean, white, which we’ve never done before,” explains vocalist and bassist Jeff Walker, “it doesn’t look evil, or typically death metal, but I like how clean it is; almost like a coffee table book.” This new album presents images, lyrics, and sounds that so distinctly scream CARCASS, but ferry us into a new era of production, songwriting, and art all together.

“I think as our 7th album, it does stand out from the others both sonically and stylistically,” says Walker. “You can definitely tell that it’s CARCASS; when you drop that needle on the vinyl, when you hear that guitar tone, you can tell it’s Bill Steer, but each album is always a product of its time.”

With "Torn Arteries," each track stands unique from the rest in its approach to guitar, bass, vocals and drumming, along with all the finer details. Filthy and dominating guitar work creates thick layers of tone and melody, piling on top of each other like the weight of dead flesh in tracks like “Kelly’s Meat Emporium.”

“The working title for Kelly’s was originally ‘Stock Carcass,’” laughs Walker. “We knew that one was a real meat and potatoes track for the album.” Meanwhile the elevated speed and catchy beat in “Dance of Ixtab” tell a robust and airier story, one that is certain to get a reaction from live crowds. “We built this song around the beat. We had an approach to each song that was a definite idea. It’s all about ‘what haven’t we done before?’”

Recording and Production for "Torn Arteries" wasn’t as simple as sitting down for a few weeks and knocking it all out, but rather spread out over the course of approximately 1 year bouncing back and forth between England and Sweden. Initially, drummer Daniel Wilding did session work in Sweden at Studio Gröndahl with David Castillo while guitars were recorded at The Stationhouse with James Atkinson in Leeds, England. Eventually needing some form of residential location to finalize vocals, bass, and other guitarwork, the band headed back to studio Gröndahl in Sweden to continue work in a very relaxed atmosphere with Castillo. “There was no real big plan to do it this way, the process just organically grew on its own,” says Walker.

Most will find that the only real struggle when indulging in "Torn Arteries" is fighting the desire to start it over the second it finishes. It covers substantial new ground for a band with such a reputation, while still retaining that addictive, time honored CARCASS sound that has come to represent the face of true death metal.

CARCASS is:
Bill Steer - Guitars
Jeff Walker - Bass/Vocals
Daniel Wilding - Drums

Hindsight Releases Intense New Song Titled “TRANSFORM” with Influences of Rock, Metal, Prog, and Electronic Music

Houston based rock band Hindsight released their new hard-hitting song titled “Transform” now available on all major platforms.

HINDSIGHT - "TRANSFORM" (Official Lyric Video)

The song pairs elements of rock, metal, and prog while also incorporating aspects of electronic music to create a unique sound.

“We wanted to push ourselves out of our comfort zone on this one and let the song really drive us where it wanted to go. While not always the case, we decided that approach this with the mindset that nothing was off of the table in terms of tones, sound choices, arrangement, and instrumentation. This song was for sure one of the more progressive tunes that we have written to this point but still contains some of the chorus driven writing that we tend to gravitate towards.”

Conceptually the song describes humanity’s increasing reliance on digital platforms for information (something that can be both greatly beneficial and harmful) as well as the unfortunate frequent occurrence of taking everything face value and sharing it as truth without properly sourcing it. Such things cause one to exist in a self-created bubble built on confirmation bias.

The track again features David Hitchcock who collaborated with Hindsight on keys, synths, and other electronic elements for this track as well as their previous releases “Rhythm of Fate” and “Who Would You Have Been” that were released earlier this year. The band also once again worked with producer Dean Dichoso who has produced a number of Hindsight tracks in the past (In addition to recent releases from band such as Candlebox) to bring this track to life.

The fifth single release to be included on Hindsight’s upcoming EP release titled Catalyst and more can be found on all online streaming platforms…..

REPENTANCE Premiere Brand New Lyric Video (feat. Corey Beaulieu of TRIVIUM) and Ink Worldwide Deal with Noble Demon!

Chicago, Illinois -based metal act REPENTANCE have announced their worldwide signing to German label Noble Demon. Founded in 2018 by former SOIL and DIRGE WITHIN guitarist Shaun Glass, the band soon became known for their distinctive heavy yet dynamic sound, packed with details, groove and intensity. With a critically acclaimed debut album under their belts (God For A Day, 2020) and numerous shows with high profile acts such as TRIVIUM, DEVILDRIVER, JINJER, SKULL FIST, TOXIC HOLOCAUST, SACRED REICH and others, REPENTANCE have taken the heavy scene by storm and represent a sound, which is sure to obliterate fans of extreme music everywhere.

Joining the eclectic and growing artist roster of Noble Demon, the up and coming label founded by Nuclear Blast veteran Patrick Walch, Shaun Glass offers:

"Repentance is thrilled to be with the mighty Noble Demon Records for our new releases! I was so impressed with how such a newer label was making waves and with such a diverse roster of Metal/Rock it was the obvious place for this to be our new home with a professional staff and Patrick’s amazing history in the Metal industry, it’s a breath of fresh air."

To celebrate and start the new chapter with a big bang, REPENTANCE just released a lyric video for the crushing new single "Reborn". Taken from the band's upcoming EP slated for a release later this year and featuring none other than Corey Beaulieu of mighty TRIVIUM on guitar for a guest solo, "Reborn" is a stunning first peek of what to expect from REPENTANCE in the near future! But not only with a new single but also with a renewed line-up, this track is the perfect introduction to the rebirth of the band's aggressive modern metal sound. The arrival of the ferocious voice of Adam Gilley sets the bar high and makes it apparent that this is truly a cleansing in the band's sound on all levels.

Vocalist Adam Gilley states:

"When I first heard the track for Reborn I knew I wanted to be a part of Repentance. This song is a straight punch to your face. I love the intensity of this song & Corey (Trivium) absolutely shreds on the guest solo…So whether you‘re at home, work, the gym or wherever you are. CRANK this!!!"

Furthermore Patrick Walch (Noble Demon) adds:

"When I discovered REPENTANCE last year listening to their first single and then the full length album 'God for A Day' I instantly knew I was onto something there. After having spoken with Shaun Glass for a while we knew that the vibe was more than right between us so, it didn’t need much negotation in order to work together on their next songs. I’m proud to welcome another member to the Noble Demon family, this time with a pure US metal sound which i’ve always been appreciating by bands like Trivium, Lamb Of God, Devildriver etc., all bands i grew up with as well. And having Corey of TRIVIUM play the solo on this new single is a huge honor for all of us. Check out REPENTANCE, you won’t be disappointed!"

Produced By Alex Lackner at Accelerated Sound and mixed by Chris Collier at CMC 21 Productions,

"Reborn" is now streaming on all DIGITAL PLATFORMS

FORGETTING THE MEMORIES Share New Single "A Voice In The Static" - New Album 'Vemond' Coming September 24

Swedish metalcore five-piece FORGETTING THE MEMORIES have released their new single "A Voice In The Static". It's the fourth single from the new album, 'Vemod', coming September 24th via Long Branch Records.

Listen to "A Voice In The Static" and pre-order the new album 'Vemod' here:

http://smarturl.it/ftm_vemod

Forgetting The Memories about the new single "A Voice In The Static":

"This story behind this song is about love loss and the aftermath of dealing with that horrible experience. To cope with being reminded by the little things you used to resemble with this person. The outcome of this incident causes depression and self-hatred in order to believe that you are in fact alright."

Pre-Order VEMOD Here

Forgetting the Memories combine intricate, headbanging rhythms with melodic choruses that will have you singing along in no time, constructing a unique blend of deathcore and metalcore that is unparalleled in complexity and intensity.

"Monophobia," their first self-released full-length in 2016, was a sprawling labyrinth of ferocious, hard-pounding breakdowns and catchy choruses, peppered with meaningful lyrics detailing deeply personal journeys through issues like battling cancer, losing a friend, and heartbreak. The band continued on this path on their first release with their new label "Long Branch Records". The EP "Known Darkness" was released in 2019 and featured 6 songs, further confirming the band's rapid growth and potential.

Now "Vemod", the second LP from the five Swedes, is a clear further development of the already known trademarks of the band and thus comes across even more intense than its predecessors. The 10 tracks on the new album, which was mixed and mastered by Buster Odeholm (Vildhjarta, Humanity's Last Breath), are lyrically haunting and deal with personal setbacks, world-weariness, anger, and melancholy or wistfulness ("Vemod" in Swedish).

Over the years, Forgetting The Memories have remained true to their particular style, yet have constantly evolved and defined themselves as a truly essential force within the genre.

FORGETTING THE MEMORIES Lineup:

Bastian Kempe - Vocals

Gustav Holst - Guitars

Adrian Lyxell - Guitars

Lukas Löken Olsson - Bass & Vocals

Johan Blomberg - Drums

SIAMESE Release New Single "Numb" - New Album 'Home' Coming December 10th

Copenhagen’s SIAMESE are back with another infectious single from their long-awaited new album 'Home'.

"Numb" encompasses all of the elements that Siamese are renowned for; a soaring melodic chorus alongside thundering breakdowns, with a sprinkling of synths and electro-beats for good measure. Truly masters in their craft, they continue to create hit after hit, and are quickly becoming one of Denmark's hottest new exports in the music scene.

SIAMESE singer Mirza Radonjica about their new single "Numb":

"'Numb' is another product of sitting at home and watching the pandemic unfold. A scary realization that nothing seemed to affect or scare me anymore. Millions of people have died during covid, but my biggest concern was whether or not I could go to a restaurant. Not to point fingers at anyone else but myself. The bombardment of bad news truly left me numb. We had to write it down cause I believe I am not alone in my guilty conciseness, and the inner war with myself about this."

With incredible reactions from influential rock media and DSP playlist tastemakers, over 35 million streams worldwide, and a number of tours and live dates in the pipeline, the band has no intention of slowing down anytime soon

“Siamese have an incredible spirit and deliver a crystal-clear, anthemic sound.”

Alex Baker – Kerrang Radio (UK)

“Get your ears around these guys before they take off”

Rock Sound (UK)

'Home' is due for release on December 10th, 2021 via Long Branch Records

'Not Even Trying' by PINK TURNS BLUE

"One of the most ethically driven and environmentally conscious post-punk artists of our time... this latest offering is sure to go down in the band’s record as one of PTB’s most powerful releases" ~ The Spill Magazine

"Consistent purveyors of quality guitar-laden post punk and dark-bent indie rock... one of the most honest and most direct enduring acts in post punk today" ~ Destroy // Exist

"The timeless message is driven home with a timeless sound composed with refined effect" ~ Post-Punk.com

"There are bands which have had high ranks in the charts and still have a place deep in the heart of many fans. One of those bands is the German Dark Wave legend Pink Turns Blue" ~ Reflections of Darkness

"When it comes to actual darkwave, Berlin’s Pink Turns Blue are rightly regarded as one of the founding acts... up to the present, they have also been one of the finer exemplars of continental postpunk" ~ CVLT Nation

Iconic post-punk / darkwave outfit Pink Turns Blue presents 'Not Even Trying', the final single to be released before their new 'Tainted' album is released via Orden Records.

This long-player is the result of time well spent during a lockdown year - writing, recording, mixing and mastering the new album in their Berlin recording studio. On ‘Tainted’, the band added an electronic element to their classical vocals, guitar, bass and drums. The album title itself relates to the state of our world: climate change, its effects, the reaction to it, the split within society, isolation, health risks and financial uncertainty.

“When I travel the world, I encounter two types of people. Many are sad and void of hope that mankind is able to change. Others just don’t care or are sarcastic about just everything. I guess this makes me angry. I see all those toddlers with their lives before them, playing and laughing and inheriting a world in disarray just because of the greediness and irresponsibility of their parents. A call to try so much harder! Instead of using excuses for missing or inadequate action, mankind really has to get its shit together – now," says Mic Jogwer.

"Obviously, young people seem to realize the cost of our shortcomings much better: all the carelessness about using resources, polluting the environment, the threatening effects of global warming, a poisoned environment and extinct species. They are at the beginning of their lives and the world is in crisis already. But most of us are using excuses or alibi “actions” to cover up our indifference or complacency. We pursue our own advantage at the expense of others even if the calculation does not add up in the end: if we don’t incorporate sustainability in our actions all will lose.”

So far in 2021, the band has released three singles from the album, including 'You Still Mean Too Much To Me', 'There Must Be So Much More' and 'So Why Not Save The World'.

Today Pink Turns Blue is a trio comprised of Mic Jogwer (vocals, guitar), Reubi Walter (bass, keyboards) and Paul Richter (drums). In the first generation of gothic rock, Pink Turns Blue formed in 1985, originally as a duo consisting of Jogwer and Thomas Elbern, plus a drum machine. Naming themselves after a Hüsker Dü song, their sound was initially inspired by The Chameleons, Clan of Xymox, and The Cure.

Their debut album 'If Two Worlds Kiss' brought dark undertones into their new wave sound, essentially advancing the darkwave sub-genre while becoming a seminal album in the post-punk genre. Emerging from the fear and uncertainty of a divided Cold War Germany, the band went on to release 11 full-length LPs, the latest being 'The AERDT – Untold Stories' in 2016.

As of September 3, 'Not Even Trying' will be available across digital platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify. The 'Tainted' LP is out on September 24, available digitally and in two physical formats - a CD with a 16-page booklet and on black vinyl, strictly limted to 500 copies, with an 8-page booklet. Both can be pre-ordered exclusively via the band's website.

CYNIC Shares Sean Malone Tribute + Charity Initiative

CYNIC is now sharing a touching tribute to late bassist Sean Malone, who died on December 7, 2020. To commemorate Malone's legacy, CYNIC has released a never-before-heard recorded performance of the song "Integral," in which Malone performs fretless bass. "Integral" was originally released as a solo guitar and vocal track on Cynic's 'Re-Traced' EP.

In addition, CYNIC founding member and guitarist Paul Masvidal has shared the following statement:

On the passing of Sean Malone:
Since my friend and Cynic bandmate Sean Malone's passing in late 2020, many people have publicly speculated about, and privately reached out to me regarding, the circumstances of his death. I have kept my silence as I have worked through my grief and out of respect for Malone's privacy. Questions and rumors have persisted, so I want to share what I can with the many fans whose lives he touched so deeply and who are seeking closure.

On December 7, 2020, Malone was found dead by suicide in Largo, Florida, where his mother had lived. She had been ailing for some time before her death in 2018; Malone had been her sole caregiver during her difficult final year. Then, in January 2020, we suddenly lost our bandmate Sean Reinert. Combined with his mother's loss, it was an emotional double whammy that hit Malone hard.

After his mother’s death, we spoke often, having long chats about grief, loss, and the future of Cynic. I urged Sean to move out to California and live with me so he could get back on his feet and start fresh, and he did. I noticed a newfound vigor in Malone I hadn't seen before. He was excited to be in the world again, we were working on new music, and he even began teaching bass privately. Then came the pandemic. Everything shut down and so did Malone. His pain and suffering re-emerged and his light began to dim.

Matters took an unexpected turn. Late one early summer night, he disappeared. I called him, left messages, texted, emailed, contacted missing persons and everyone we had in common, but no one had heard anything. There was no response. He quit the world. My hope that he was regrouping in private and would turn up safely turned to heartache on December 7th.

As I share this sad news about his death, I want to celebrate his life by sharing one of his most beautiful and lyrical moments ever recorded, and one which his fans have not yet heard. A few years after the release of Cynic's 'Re-Traced' EP, Sean Malone recorded fretless bass on this solo guitar and vocal track titled “Integral.” Here's a video celebrating his playing, and a full transcription in his honor along with the song file for download.

I am grateful to be able to share this video with you now, and I will share details about new music in the coming weeks. Please celebrate the genius and transcendent talent that was Sean Malone. Read more about his fascinating life, unique passions and accomplishments at his Wikipedia page.

As an act of support, and in honor of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, I invite you to donate as you wish for the “Integral” song download which comes with a guitar/bass transcription of the song and an instrumental (no bass mix) for fellow musicians to play along with. 50 percent of proceeds will be shared with suicide prevention organizations To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA), and The Trevor Project. The remaining will go towards funding a documentary about the lives and artistry of Malone and Reinert.

With love and courage, Paul Masvidal

MASSACRE REVEALS NEW SINGLE "RUINS OF R'LYEAH"

DEATH METAL PIONEERS' 4TH ALBUM, "RESURGENCE," OUT OCT 22ND

Floridia's masters of death metal, MASSACRE, have released searing new single, "Ruins of R'lyeh," from their highly anticipated 4th full-length album, "Resurgence," that's out October 22nd from Nuclear Blast.

Watch the visualizer for "Ruins of R'lyeh"

Commenting on the upcoming album and new single, vocalist Kam Lee states:

"I’m going to take you back down into the abyss! This track, 'Ruins of R’lyeh,' like many of the other’s on the 'Resurgence' album are direct sequels to tracks off 'From Beyond.' With a purposeful musical connection to the track 'Cryptic Realms,' this new song of O.S.D.M. takes the listener back down into the depths of the darkness with a very heavy laden Lovecraftian lyrical direction loosely based on 'The Call Of Cthulhu.' Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn ('In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.')"

Pre-order "Resurgence" here: https://www.nuclearblast.com/massacre-resurgence

MASSACRE's vicious new track follows their recently released single "The Innsmouth Strain." Watch the visualizer here: https://youtu.be/ei3c7aOjVFM

MASSACRE rose from the swamps of Southern Florida in the early 80's during a heatwave of groundbreaking death metal that produced some of the genre's most revered forefathers, DEATH, OBITUARY and SIX FEET UNDER. Their legacy was founded with a string of classic demos, "Aggressive Tyrant" (1986), "Chamber of Ages" (1986) and "The Second Coming" (1990), before unleashing their critically praised classic debut album "From Beyond" (1991). Now decades later, the band makes their long-awaited return, invigorated with the same youthful rage that brought them together at inception. For "Resurgence," long-time members, vocalist Kam Lee (MANTAS, BONE GNAWER, THE GROTESQUERY) and bassist Mike Borders, were joined in the studio by some of death's most prolific and malignant songwriters, guitarist Rogga Johansson(PAGANIZER, MEGASCAVENGER, RIB SPREADER), guitarist Jonny Pettersson (WOMBBATH, NATTRAVNEN, HENRY KANE), guitarist Scott Fairfax (MEMORIAM, AS THE WORLD DIES) and drummer Brynjar Helgetun (CRYPTICUS, THE GROTESQUERY) with additional guest performances by Marc Grewe (INSIDIOUS DISEASE), Dave Ingram (BENEDICTION), Anders Odden (CADAVER), and Pete Slate (DRUID LORD) The record was recorded with producer and death metal icon Dan Swanö (ex-Edge of Sanity, ex-Bloodbath) and Pettersson as engineer/mixer.

CARNIFEX’sGRAVESIDE CONFESSIONSis no stranger to the harsh world in which it was created. While all of humanity experiences the turmoil of pain, weakness, and betrayal, it is also deeply ingrained in our nature to keep these notions closely protected; to keep them secret. Often as we approach death, we feel an insatiable need to reveal these things to one another; to confess.

The album arose just in time to aid in celebrating the 15 year anniversary of the debutCARNIFEXalbum,DEAD IN MY ARMS.The band revisited their first album to re-record 3 songs, but now with huge advancements in production technology. A return to their roots, these songs act as the completion of a circle; a return to where things first began.

Graveside Confessionsis available in the following formats:

• CD Jewelcase

• Red Cassette

• Vinyl

  • Red & Pink Swirl W/ Black Splatter

  • Clear W/ Red & Black Splatter

    With the engineering of the record completed in-house by drummer Shawn Cameron, the band recorded the album at Back Lounge Studios in San Diego, CA almost entirely themselves with the help of Mick Kenney (ANAAL NATHRAKH, BLEEDING THROUGH) for the mixing and mastering. This process especially compared to CARNIFEX albums of the past developed a far more satisfying and concentrated artistic vision for the band. CARNIFEX enlisted English artist GODMACHINE, who has worked on the two previous albums, to create the next installment of visual art for Graveside Confessions.

BLOOD RED THRONE DEBUT RAGING DEATH METAL SINGLE "6:7"

NEW ALBUM, "IMPERIAL CONGREGATION," OUT OCT 8TH

Norway's masters of death metal BLOOD RED THRONE has released a cataclysmic new single today, titled "6:7." The song is featured on the band's upcoming, 10th album, "Imperial Congregation," that's due out October 8th from Nuclear Blast.

Founding guitarist Daniel Olaisen comments on the song:

"'6:7' has one of the most epic solos in BRT history. A super heavy riff and some real kick ass headbanging parts throughout the whole song!"

Pre-order "Imperial Congregation": http://www.nuclearblast.com/brt-imperial

"Itika" Lyric Video: https://youtu.be/Gt4u18UWD_M
"Conquered Malevolence" Lyric Video: https://youtu.be/B_PPW2nzdZc

With over 25 years and 10 albums soon to be under their belt, BLOOD RED THRONE is dedicated to the continual delivery of straight forward, exceptional death metal with "Imperial Congregation" being no exception. “This time around we’ve made something new and fresh in our sound. We felt it from the very first song that was written; this will take us to a whole different level in terms of arrangements, riffs, vocals... everything. We are super-excited to share this with our fans, and in cooperation with the greatest label ever,” says Olaisen.

"Imperial Congregation" delivers quality, old school sound while reflecting in part upon the self righteous nature of humanity and its incessant need to destroy itself through power, ignorance and religion. “We live outside this system,” explains Olaisen. “We don’t join in on the sheep mentality. Create your own possibilities, be responsible for your own misery or success!”

The haunting, organic album artwork was designed by the infamous Marcelo Vasco. The image displays a flock of old, religious men as they meet in secrecy to design the laws of lower society. “Many of our lyrics deal with our skepticism of religion, and of mankind in general. Be free or be dead,” says Olaisen. "Two gigantic skeletons tower over the men of worship as they dictate human fate by candlelight."

BLOOD RED THRONE Lineup:
Daniel ”Død” Olaisen – Guitar
Ivan ”Meathook” Gujic – Guitar
Freddy "the Shred" Bolsø – Drums
Stian "Gunner" Gundersen – Bass
Yngve "Bolt" Christiansen – Vocals

THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA RELEASE NEW ALBUM "AEROMANTIC II" TODAY!

Dear ladies and gentlemen, please prepare for landing: THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA release their new album "Aeromantic II" today! The new album of Sweden's most famous cabin crew is another thrilling journey to the band's core and their passion for traveling and being in motion - accompanied by the balance act of bittersweet sadness and pure joy of life.

But before heading off to your next destination, please take some time to listen to the pilot's announcement:

"Aeromantic II is another triumphant return from classic rock heavy-weight contenders The Night Flight Orchestra. At least they don’t seem to plan on throwing in the towel anytime soon. A celebration of life with that constant undercurrent of Swedish melancholy, Aeromantic II is the golden glitter that you don’t want to get rid of, even if it gets stuck everywhere. It’s every memory you didn’t know you had, and every future you didn’t know that you were wishing for. It’s the fork in the road, the light in the tunnel and the unexpected fudge in the unassuming loaf of bread that is life. Bear with The Night Flight Orchestra, and they will teleport you into the neverending sinful, neon-lit night by pure Swedish willpower. Those men and women won’t back down, but you know that they love you, even though they might come across as a tad too much at times."

Here's your gateway to all possibilities of listening and buying "Aeromantic II":
https://thenightflightorchestra.bfan.link/aeromantic-ii.ema

Together with this epic ride of an album, THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA have released a stunning video for their song "Change".

Watch it now

The band continues:
"Are you looking for a shiny surface? Are you looking for depth? Are you looking for the emerald arch that bridges the opposites? Look no further. The Night Flight Orchestra has landed once again, albeit briefly, to provide you with another slice of the meaning of life. Aeromantic II will leave you shaken and stirred, but at the same time euphoric and enlightened. The Swedish rogues will bring the disco to the wastelands, the sweltering sun to the ghostly marshes and the fairy dust to the seemingly hopeless. There is always a pulsating hedonistic heart in the middle of everyhing, and The Night Flight Orchestra gives you another roadmap full of clues and obscene illustrations, before taking off again on that journey that never ends, and that seems to be taking them nowhere and everywhere at the same time. But that’s also exactly why, on that journey, everything seems to be possible"

Today, L.A.-based hard rock duo Satellite Citi self-releases their latest full-length effort Fear Tactics. The 10-track album showcases the band’s evolution and further cements their reputation as the next band to break big.

Helmed by producer Brad Wood (Smashing Pumpkins, Placebo, Liz Phair, Touche Amore), Fear Tactics sonically features a wide range of inspiration from Black Sabbath to Muse to Halestorm. And the message of the album thematically centers around the importance of mental health, while also representing the band’s own struggles of coping with fear and anxiety, even more apparent in today’s culture.

As Huffington Post has previously declared of the band, “Satellite Citi are on the road to delivering audiences with music that tackles important issues that our society is facing today.”

Their latest singles highlight this focal point for the band. Released in May, “Empath” is centered around the five stages of grief – Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance – and aimed to help end the stigma surrounding mental health. The acoustic version of the song premiered via MXDWN here: https://music.mxdwn.com/2021/06/11/news/mxdwn-premiere-satellite-citi-shine-a-light-on-mental-health-in-new-video-for-empath/

In late 2020, Satellite Citi also released “Antibody,” featuring Crobot’s Brandon Yeagley, dedicated to the people of Armenia and bringing awareness to the latest attacks on the country beginning in late September 2020 that killed hundreds of innocent civilians and displaced thousands more. See the evocative music video premiered by Loudwire here: https://loudwire.com/satellite-citi-antibody-video/

The band, featuring drummer/vocalist Anna Gevorkian and guitarist Shaunt Sulahian, are both Armenian-Americans born and raised in Los Angeles. They first launched Satellite Citi in 2015 and Fear Tactics continues their promising trajectory.

Fear Tactics can be ordered via the band’s Bandcamp page: https://satelliteciti.bandcamp.com/

Here’s what media have to say about Satellite Citi:

The alt-rock duo shatter expectations –American Songwriter

Expect to hear a lot from this dynamic, up-and-coming Los Angeles duo over the next few years. –MXDWN

[They] tackle dynamic lyrics and look to deliver music that one can only describe as deeply honest and surprisingly personal, all while exploring an excitingly refreshing rock n roll sound. –Alive N Loud

To celebrate the release of the album, Satellite Citi will host an all-ages album release show at Troubadour in West Hollywood, CA on Saturday, September 4. The bill also features Love Ghost and supporting acts Chasing Desolation and Hvnted.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door, and a percentage of ticket sales will be donated to Sweet Relief Musicians Fund and the Check Your Head Podcast in support of mental health and music industry professionals in need. Buy tickets here: https://www.seetickets.us/event/Satellite-Citi/431869

A regular fixture on the stages in their hometown of Los Angeles, Satellite Citi is joined live by two anonymous Spacewalkers on bass and guitar that further taps into the band’s curiosity of other realms and advanced life forms. The band’s name, in fact, is based off of the idea of a city, outside of our galaxy, where people communicate with their minds.

In addition to music, Anna and Shaunt love video games and writing—they are currently working on their first original sci-fi graphic novel called Spacewalker with former DC editor Jim Higgins, that will coincide with a new concept EP in 2022. Satellite Citi also has five songs featured in the recently released rock documentary Long Live Rock…Celebrate The Chaos, directed by Jonathan McHugh, that features bands such as Metallica, Korn, Slipknot, and Rob Zombie. The trailer can be viewed HERE. As well the band’s song “Getaway” is featured in the new show “The Freak Brothers,” starring Woody Harrelson, John Goodman and Tiffany Haddish.

The Thunder arena shows will begin in May 2022, culminating on May 28th at the SSE Wembley Arena in London.

Ireland's Cat Dowling signs to FIFA Records and reveals new video for 'Freedom'

“Remarkable-voiced Cat Dowling's solo debut considerably exceeds expectations and previous endeavours, delivering an impressive collection of slow-burning melancholic indie rock” ~ Sunday Business Post

“It's her incredible vocals that resonate. When mercurial, she is reminiscent of the gutsy Karen O. When the pace slows, the respectful tone evokes Kristin Hersh” ~ Sunday Times

"Cat Dowling’s vocals, melodicism and pop sensibility are brilliant... introspective and heartfelt... passionate and liberating" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

“The strongest collection of her career. She has exceeded expectations with an LP throbbing with anger and ennui” ~ Irish Times, Irish Independent

“An artist with a lot to say and plenty of bewitching ways to say it. Excellent” ~ RTE

“Truly a talent we can now believe in” ~ Mail on Sunday

Dublin-based Kilkenny-born indie pop artist Cat Dowling has signed to Ireland's Forever In Financial Arrears Records or FIFA Records, as it is more commonly known. She will release her next album in autumn via the steadily expanding label, who have continuously worked with exciting new Irish talent (Fight Like Apes, One Morning in August, Klubber Lang, Hope is Noise, Dae Kim, Lorraine Nash), as well as releasing material from more established names on the Irish indie scene, such as The Frank & Walters, Emperor of Ice Cream, August Wells, Power of Dreams and Whipping Boy.

Lauded as one of the most wonderful and evocative vocalists in Irish contemporary music, Cat Dowling's beautifully dark pop songs and those husky and achingly intimate vocals will grip you from the outset. The former Babelfish and Alphastatesfrontwoman creates well-crafted songs that inspire.

Dowling also presents the video for her lush slice of soulful pop perfection, 'Freedom', created by film-maker Alba Lahoz. When restrictions momentarily lifted in Ireland, Cat's three free-spirited tearaway children do their thing, showing that Freedom is a space inside us that can never be tamed.

"Sometimes we think big. Sometimes we think small. Sometimes we think with all we have got. When we have limited access to other humans, the humans closest to us are the most important humans of all," says Cat Dowling.

"This video was filmed on a bitingly-cold December afternoon when light was sparse, winds howled and the skies randomly opened. We managed to find the sun, fell in love with the wind and forgot about the camera. It was mainly filmed on Donabate beach and Dollymount Strand in Dublin. Freedom is best explained and expressed in childhood when there are no limitations, everything is possible and we are free to be truly ourselves".

Produced by Gerry Horan with Dowling as co-producer, and mixed by Ger McDonnell (The Cure, U2, Van Morrison, Martha Wainwright, Shane McGowan, Sinead O'Connor), Dowling's latest output was partially recorded at Crossroads Studio in Kilkenny with support from Ireland's Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports and Media.

Earlier this year, Dowling released the first single ‘Trouble’, making quite a big splash in her homeland, with a fantastic video by BAFTA award-winning director Fergal Costello. Based on a black comedy concept, it was filmed in winter in the Wicklow mountains, telling the story of a dark, comedic and violent tale that takes place outside of Belfast in 1981.

In 2013, Dowling debuted with ‘The Believer’ LP, ranked in numerous ‘Best of Year’ music polls, including The Sunday Times. The title track featured in the second series of ‘Banshee’, produced by Alan Ball (Six Feet Under, American Beauty, True Blood) and the ‘Witches of East End’ TV series, featuring Julia Ormond. The song ‘Somebody Else’ was also used in ‘My name is Emily’. Cat has also lent vocals on many collaborative projects, including for ABC’s ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ with Emmy-winning actress Viola Davis.

'Freedom' is out now, available everywhere digitally, including Spotify, Apple Musicand Bandcamp. Fans can expect Cat Dowling's next long-player to be released in November of this year.

Inca Babies' Harry Stafford and Brazilian guitarist Marco Butcher release 'Bone Architecture' LP and video for 'Termite City'.

"Unapologetically weaving their way through varied genres, Stafford & Butcher’s bluesy story-based music is raw around the edges, while sucking you willingly inside – a sonic diamond in the rough, so to speak" ~ The Spill Magazine

"The symmetry between the two artists is remarkable... a refreshing track, meshing the grit of blues with an urban thematic. This is dirty but agreeable, weaving straightforward guitar work through the prism of a junkyard instrument approach. Goes down smooth like a good shot of bourbon" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

Manchester underground music icon Harry Stafford and US-based Brazilian guitarist Marco Butcher present the new 'Bone Architecture' album, a 12-track effort, made possible thanks to the power of the internet.

Despite the distance, Stafford and Butcher are punk soul brothers from the same muddy musical pond. Connecting during a year of ‘lockdown hell’ inadvertently led to their collaboration. Marco's tracks were recorded at his Boombox Studio. Harry laid down vocals, piano and other instruments at Black Lagoon Records. London trumpet supremo Kevin Davy added jazz tones into the mix.

“There’s something about collaborating that is pure magic to me, cause you're not sharing ideas at the same time and you're in the moment. There’s something about the not knowing what the other will bring . . the surprise factor. The fact that music is very elastic and not always the way ya listen to it in your mind but something else, something cooler, greater," says Marco Butcher.

'Bone Architecture' is a superb collection of songs that is raw and, at times, an unforgiving forage into urban punk blues with fuzzed up jazz and garage trash rock. Here, Harry and Marco’s styles have clashed magnificently into a powerful record that crosses a multitude of genres but with a dirty blues makeover. The LP includes reworked older material, brand-new compositions and even a dirty blues version of the Pink Floyd classic 'Arnold Layne'.

The duo have also revealed the video for 'Termite City', featuring Stafford riding through England's northern capital, half scoffing at it while fully loving it nevertheless.

“’Termite City’ is a celebration of the dirty city that always keeps standing no matter what people throw at it. Bombs, Riots, Scottish Football fans, Demolition, bad planning. People love this city and will do everything to protect it and despite their cynicism, they just can’t help themselves but be proud. Show a little love. A city is a termite tower with thousands of people all working to make their way in it. This termite Tower is Manchester; termites even build cathedral mounds," says Harry Stafford.

Earlier, Stafford and Butcher released 'There's Someone Tryin' To Get In', which has garnered the duo press attention and airplay in several dozen countries.

Best known as founder, guitarist and vocalist of Manchester post-punk gothic rockers Inca Babies, Harry’s two most recent solo albums ('Guitar Shaped Hammers' and 'Gothic Urban Blues') reflect a cooler, less frenetic vibe, leaning on piano, trumpets and blues guitar. All this made him the perfect collaborator to set words and lyrics to Marco’s sonic backdrop.

From Sao Paulo, Marco Butcher now lives in Winston Salem, North Carolina. A prolific artist, his acts include The Jam Messengers, Chicken Snake, and The Jesus and The Groupies. Professing the American underground of blues, jazz, rockabilly and screaming punk blues, he has collaborated with Hugo Race and members of Tex and the Horseheads, Pussy Galore, Gumball, The Gories, Gibson Brothers, Jerry Teel, The Oblivians and The Workdogs.

On September 3, the 'Bone Architecture' LP will be released on CD and will also be available everywhere online, including Spotify and Apple Music. Both formats can be ordered via Bandcamp and the Louder than War shop.
