ABOUT THROUGH FIRE:

Hard rock should exist outside of the system. It should break the mold. It should burn through expectations. Through Fire most certainly does. The Omaha, NE quartet—Justin McCain [lead guitar & songwriter], Grant Joshua Kendrick [lead vocals], Tyler Halverson [bass], and Zack Halverson [drums]—fuses hard-hitting riffs, lyrics that truly resonate and contagious melodies that are unforgettable. As a result, this impactful, immediate, and infectious fusion defies categorization and incites energy as boundless as the style itself. Additionally, the approach transformed the quartet into a phenomenon with chart-topping radio successes and over 275 million streams worldwide.

Now, the same fire fuels the band’s third full-length for Sumerian Records. “This album takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions". We've all been through the fiery trials of life, this album aims to empower us all to get up out of the pit of despair and be victorious over our difficult circumstances. "Recording these songs was truly therapeutic, going in the studio to unleash every raw, honest feeling imaginable while enduring the heat of life's flames and heartache was powerful. This album brought us healing and we know from experience, we can all rise above whatever life throws our way.”

Instrumental Psych Rockers NIGHT FISHING Announce Debut EP 'Live Bait' via Brutal Panda Records

Announce New EP, 'Live Bait',

Out April 21st on Brutal Panda Records

Pre-Order HERE

Brutal Panda Records is excited to announce 'Live Bait', the debut EP from Denver, CO’s NIGHT FISHING. Comprised of four seasoned Rocky Mountain Road Dogs (members of Call of the Void, Green Druid, Abrams, Muscle Beach), NIGHT FISHINGexist to explore the boundaries of improvisation, mood and structure within the realms of heavy, instrumental sound. 

Across three tracks and 25+ minutes of fuzzed-out Heavy Psych, hypnotic Krautrock and free-form jazz, NIGHT FISHING seamlessly weave together a melting pot of brain liquifying sonic euphoria. An experience that could only be formulated live in the studio and within the confines of the moment…NIGHT FISHING is for lovers, and will take you where the vibe wants to go. 

Watch the music video for “Slapback Twister” recorded live in the studio H

Drummer Gordon Koch, who also created the album’s trippy artwork via Artificial Intelligence, commented on how the project came together: 

“Night Fishing is a Heavy Psych/Krautrock improv concept I mulled over during the lockdown period of the initial COVID-19 outbreak. My longtime touring metal band (Call of the Void) had just broken up (December 2019) and my jazz connection had moved out of state so I had no musical prospects while I was held up in my apartment. I wanted to combine elements of improv jazz into a rock format using light song structure to allow for more natural flow of solos, giving each player room to breathe and express themselves. Once the city opened back up a little bit I hit the pavement looking for players. I found 3 friends from the Denver metal scene who were looking for something different and could handle the riffage!

“This EP was recorded live, as both an audio and visual experience, by Chris McNaughton at Rocky Mountain Recorders. We sat in the round with a full camera crew in studio, led by Alex Pace, to capture the moment and energy, bouncing solos off each other all in one take. I feel like these first songs are a more 'live' experience so I wanted the video crew there to allow everyone to join us. We were mostly familiar with all the hits but use a lot of eye contact and musical cues to move things along. This session was a BLAST to record, I think about 4 hours total in the room.”

He elaborated further on their first single “Slapback Twister”, saying:

“This song really captures what the project 'is' and has some of the best performances from everyone. It's got some classic Krautrock, big jazzy vibe and dynamic changes, some old school prog hits ala TOTO, I love it haha! You can see it on our faces, all smiles.”

'Live Bait' will see an April 21st release on tape, CD and digital formats.

A super limited deluxe, tackle box edition complete with a one-of-a-kind fishing certificate will also be available along with a gently used fishing vessel, limited to 1, for the TRUE DIE-HARDS ONLY!

NIGHT FISHING will be performing a record release show at The Crypt on April 28th in Denver, CO

Pre-Orders are available via Bandcamp HERE and Brutal Panda HERE

About NIGHT FISHING: 

Four Denver road dogs (Call of the Void, Green Druid, Abrams, Muscle Beach) having a good time in the space of improvisation and slight structure. Heavy psych and Krautrock with jazz rules, a project meant to include both listeners and musicians.

We go where the vibe is pushing us. NIGHT FISHING is for lovers.

MACHINE HEAD Announces Their Electric Happy Hour (Live) Spring 2023 Tour!

Announce Their Electric Happy Hour (Live) Spring 2023 Tour!

Ticket Pre-Sale Begins Weds, March 14th

Public On-Sale Friday, March 17th

Following the release of their 10th full-length album “ØF KINGDØM AND CRØWN” to staggering 10/10 reviews across the board and Top 10 chartings across the globe, MACHINE HEAD will embark on an 18-date trek across the U.S.. The Electric Happy Hour (Live) tour will kick off on May 15th in Ventura, CA, and will make its way to Des Moines, Fort Wayne, and Detroit before ending in Los Angeles on June 9th.

Says MACHINE HEAD founder Robb Flynn, “Really stoked to be heading out in America again, the last tour had so many moments that were so strong and just beyond life affirming!"

Continues Flynn, "It makes me super proud that we have stayed the path playing these intimate venues doing 2 and 1/2 to 3 hour 'Evening With-style shows' for the last 8 years.  These shows are incredibly rewarding for us as musicians and to people who come out to just go fucking nuts with us.  Eight years ago the idea was to provide OUR PEOPLE with an experience no other metal band was/is doing right now, and somehow this crazy idea stuck! Me personally... I’m getting really bored of going to see a band headline for 1 hour and 5 minutes, or trudge 50 miles down to the amphitheater to pay $40 for parking and $15 bucks for beer to see a show, so being able to offer something unique in this day and age feels really good.”


"We're especially looking forward to the EHH format with Sir Vogg joining us on this upcoming tour. In reality, I see it becoming even a bit more free-form, you might get 5 songs off of 'The Blackening,' you might get 5 songs off of 'Burn My Eyes,' you might get 5 cover songs! The setlist has changed a little from day to day, and the beer always flows, so come down a bang with us for Electric Happy Hour (Live)!"


More U.S. dates are being announced soon Head Cases, so if you don’t see your city now, stay tuned!

ANDY CURRAN (CONEY HATCH) AND HAREM SCAREM ISSUE NEW LIMITED CLASSIC VINYL / DIGITAL HYBRID RELEASES AVAILABLE THROUGH NEW ONLINE RECORD STORE, SING MARKET

Fans of vintage, Canadian melodic rock should make room in their record collections for two new reissues available today – Andy Curran’s 1990 debut solo effort Whiskey and the Devil 30th and Harem Scarem’s 1993 sophomore offering Mood Swings. Both projects are now being offered as exclusive, limited-edition releases only available on SING Market.
 
Each release includes a vinyl package and a matching digital package, which also contains digital-only extras – at a retail price for each package of USD $89.95, plus shipping.

“Working on my solo album decades later was a trip down memory lane,” recalls Curran (founder of Coney Hatch and Envy of None with Rush’s Alex Lifeson) about the new reissue entitled Whiskey and the Devil 30th.  “I completely forgot about two songs we recorded during those sessions but that weren’t included on the original release - so now, many years later, they will be part of this release. This was also the first time I produced a record… which was a white-knuckle ride! Winning a Juno Award that year was the icing on the cake. It was only ever released in Canada, so I’m excited to shine the spotlight back on this one.” 

Iron Maiden/British Lion bassist, Steve Harris, is a big fan of Curran’s solo record, adding: “I’ve been listening to this album for 30 years and it still sounds great!”
 
Harem Scarem lead singer Harry Hess recollects, “June 2023 will mark the 30-year anniversary of the release of our second album, Mood Swings. This record took us to another level internationally, being released in over 50 countries and voted Kerrang! Magazine’s rock album of the year. We are excited to revisit the songs, recording five new acoustic bonus tracks and releasing the original remastered recordings on vinyl for the first time ever.”

These new hybrid packages include serial-numbered digital collectibles, permanently capped at a preset quantity using blockchain technology – once they’re sold out, no more can ever be produced. SING guarantees fans own their music – just like a numbered print, fans have true ownership of each package and artist-authorized proof of its authenticity. No knowledge of crypto is ever needed to use SING – just a love of great music and a credit card, debit card or Apple Pay.

Both exclusive packages are available now for immediate purchase on SING Market at the following links:

Curran and Hess added fire power by teaming up with SING and arranging physical manufacturing and distribution. Curran added, “Harry and I have so many friends in the business who either had record deals, or are between deals, but they control their content. We have had lots of calls asking for help, so we set up a scenario whereby the artist owns everything, and we’re simply the vehicle to help them put it all in one place for their fans to access. We can’t name names just yet, but we have had lots of interest, so look for more SING limited-edition digital releases in the coming months."
 
Founded in 2019, Seattle-based SING is an online record store that puts artists and fans first by offering curated digital and physical products that you won’t find anywhere else. “We’re thrilled to be working with Andy Curran and Harem Scarem on two of their most iconic albums,” says SING CEO, Geoff Osler. “These exclusive releases will give fans a unique opportunity to truly own these records in both vinyl and digital formats – with never before possible digital bonus material that fans can download and enjoy immediately.”

Incendiary Announce New Album "Change The Way You Think About Pain" + Share "Bite the Hook"

 INCENDIARY — Brendan Garrone, vocals; Brian Audley, guitar; Rob Nobile, guitar; and Dan Lomeli, drums — are pleased to announce their new album Change The Way You Think About Pain. The album arrives on May 26 via Closed Casket Activities. Pre-order it here.

Today, the band has shared the new single "Bite the Hook." Watch/listen below.

"Much of the content of the record deals with the idea of pain, specifically pain avoidance," says Garrone. "'Bite the Hook' is about the struggles one faces when letting something fester and go unresolved. The song's aggression and vibe sets the tone for the rest of the record."

Audley weighs in about the album as a whole, saying, "The goal with this album was to refine our songwriting and deliver it more aggressively. The expectation for a hardcore band on their fourth LP may be to start sanding the edges off and becoming more polished and anthemic. We wanted to go the complete opposite direction and make them sharper.  Will Putney understood the assignment from the first day we stepped into his studio. He helped us execute on our goal by bringing out the most aggressive elements for the abrasive production the songs called for."

Armed with crushing metallic riffs, instantly both fresh and familiar, Incendiary populate each of their four full-length albums with irresistibly energized rhythms and adrenalized urgency. Change The Way You Think About Pain is their leanest and unapologetically meanest yet. The quartet weaned on the Long Island, New York, hardcore scene have more to say than ever. Sharply biting and insightful lyrics sit atop blunt metalcore in a perfect soundtrack to throw a brick through a window. 

Incendiary deliver a sound of its own, mixing classic passion and modern power. Frontman Brendan Garrone, guitarists Brian Audley and Rob Nobile, and drummer Dan Lomeli cite East Coast hardcore heroes like Vision Of Disorder, 108, Indecision, and Glassjaw as part of Incendiary's formative DNA. Less familiar listeners might liken them to a very heavy Rage Against The Machine. 

The band returned to Will Putney of Graphic Nature Audio (Knocked Loose, Every Time I Die, Vein.fm) to engineer, mix and master the new release. Many essential genre bands never made a second album, let alone a fourth. "We are kind of in rare territory being a hardcore band on their fourth LP," Garrone concedes. "It feels like a milestone. By now, you're either 'supposed' to drastically change your sound or have it be the exact same thing as the record before," he adds. "We didn't want to do either of those things. Our focus was on refining the sound that we've optimally been working towards rather than any desire to make a huge pivot." Audley says that in addition to the more focused songwriting on Change The Way You Think About Pain, "we also wanted it to be more aggressive and more abrasive, in terms of songs and production."

Thematically, Incendiary's fourth album confronts the hyper-polarization of American society, those who confuse selfishness with freedom, and the lengths we'll go to in order to avoid pain and maintain comfort. The socio-political pulse found throughout Cost of Living remains, with a deeper exploration of the introspective personal lyrics Garrone started to introduce on Thousand Mile Stare. "The album is a mix of both the socio-politically driven content and darker, more personalized subjects. The album title is meant to conjure the concept of pain avoidance," Garrone explains. "Most of the songs have some kind of tie back to the things everyone does to avoid feeling any semblance of pain. 'Pain avoidance' is a phrase me and Brian came across and kept in the back of our minds."

The Noise Who Runs 'Takes A Long Cold Look and Then The Kitchen Sink' grapples with corruption & a generation's bitter legacy

"Beguiling... anthemic yet accessible, gothic, grand and graceful, delicately dance-driven and dark, coiled and ornate, slow and seductive" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

"A heart of darkness that circulates under the electronic thrum and an ominous air... a poetic brutality in the lyrics that reflects our current climes with clinical precision... the anthemic grace and stature of something by The Sisters of Mercy: it has an Arctic chill through which a lyrical, passionate heat radiates" ~ Backseat Mafia

"Flowers like black roses... the cult of popular personality that follows deceptive and narrow-minded fame campaigns, the act of putting the dimmest star on the highest plinth has a new detractor" ~ Sound Read Six

"Rhythms stroll and guitars weave melodic webs within that ethereal electronic intimation. Light and dark entangle... Struck a chord in an instant but it is over time that its true splendour and prowess emerged and our pleasure and fascination escalated" ~ Ringmaster Review


UK-France duo The Noise Who Runs has released the single 'Takes a Long Cold Look and Then The Kitchen Sink' - the impossible, illegitimate child of solo album-era Syd Barrett and immediately post-Talking Heads David Byrne. The Bandcamp edition also features the B-side 'More Beautiful Perhaps (LHT REMIX)', created by Left Handed Tendencies (LHT).

The Noise Who Runs was formed by songwriter-performer Ian Pickering of 90s British trip hop outfit Sneaker Pimps, who co-wrote such hits as 'Spin Spin Sugar', '6 Underground' and 'Tesko Suicide'. He is also known for his involvement in Front Line Assembly. Pickering churned out this new material over the past two years simultaneous to working on the new Sneaker Pimps album.

This new single comes hot on the trail of 'Beautiful Perhaps', the anthemic lead track from their 'Preteretrospective’ LP, scheduled for release on April 7. This album arrives four years after Pickering launched this project after relocating from his home town of Hartlepool (north-east of England) to Lille, France. Today, The Noise Who Runs is a duo of Pickering with Brazilian-born French guitarist Felipe Goes.

The Noise Who Runs is a direct, literal translation of ‘O bruit qui cour’, a French phrase meaning ‘gossip’. It was also the name of Pickering’s favourite restaurant, where the ideas for this project fell into place.

'Takes a long cold look and then the kitchen sink', penned in 1996, is as timely now with the ever-increasing insanity of populist politicians. Less a testament to how timeless writing can be and more to how an entire generation has failed to change the world for the better, leaving a catastrophic mess for Millennials and Generation Z to deal with, the lyrics also point to the inadequacy of political systems and desperate corrupt pandering to big business, which actively encourages destruction.

“Every TNWR song has a personal story in it on some level; usually it’s a composite or gestalt of various people rather than anyone specific. But the bigger, wider panorama always the main thing. This is a lot gentler, musically, than 'Beautiful Perhaps', but easily as abrasive and damning in its lyrical content," says Ian Pickering.

"Really, it concerns itself with the detachment from the real lives, the real suffering of people, in the approach and the decisions taken in big business and politics, while addressing the kind of mentality that felt the need to ‘Check Your Privilege’ a few years back simply as a way of defending that privilege by refuting it. By the same spurious ‘keep them on the platform’ online reckoning, I would simultaneously be a pink Labrador, the fourth Doctor Who’s third companion and about to die of 10,000 heart attacks shortly after 3pm next Good Friday."

The new 'Preteretrospective’ album follows the 'These Will Be Your Gods' EP, released in January, and ‘High Time in Lo-Fi’, their third EP released in mid-2022. During the lockdown stalemate of 2020, the duo released two EPs - ‘The First of Two Sides of a Double-headed Coin’ and ‘The Other Side of the Same Double-headed Coin’.

The Noise Who Runs' is rooted in the shared principles and approach to making music of punk/new wave and early hip-hop - both the mentality and the message. This brand of indie-electronic rock is heavily shaped by the 1970's experimental electronic scene in Sheffield, the 1990's guitar-house mix of the Manchester scene, Primal Scream's guitar-electronic sound after 1997’s 'Vanishing Point', and 2000’s XTRMNTR.

Pickering's role in Sneaker Pimps is rooted in a lifelong friendship with founding member Liam Howe and Chris Corner. Having written and worked with Howe and Corner on various projects throughout their teens, he became Sneaker Pimps’ lyricist shortly after recruiting Kelli Dayton for the debut record 'Becoming X'.

As of March 14, the new single is available via Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music and elsewhere. The full 'Preteretrospective’ album will be released on April 7.

SOILWORK Welcomes Simon Johansson As New Permanent Member

Just having finished the first leg of their European tour with their labelmates KATAKLYSM, Swedish melodic death metal veterans SOILWORK are about to embark on the second half of the tour with exciting news.

The band welcomes Simon Johansson to their ranks, completing the line-up again. Simon Johansson will step in as SOILWORK's new guitar player.

SOILWORK states:
"We are excited to finally welcome Simon Johansson to the Soilwork family as a permanent member. Simon has been with us on a session basis since 2019 and not only has he proven himself to be a solid guitar player, but also a humble human being and a true gentleman in some of the most challenging years of the band’s history. We love you and we are grateful that you are part of our band". 
 
Simon adds:
”I’m super stoked and very humbled to be the new guitarist in Soilwork. I have been a fan of the band since way back and now to be a part of the Soilwork legacy is a huge honor. 
We first started to work together in 2019 when I joined as their session touring guitarist and during this time my admiration for the band has just grown. Now happy and proud to be joining my brothers as a full-time member and I’m thrilled to be a part of the next chapter of Soilwork”.

For the second leg of the co-headline tour of KATAKLYM and SOILWORK, the bands wll be joined by their labelmates HORIZON IGNITED. The Finnish melodic death metal force released their second album Towards The Dying Lands last summer via NUCLEAR BLAST, globally lauded by critics and fans. The band will replace WILDERUN who unfortunately have to drop out of the tour due to family health matters taking precedence. The tour will start out from Denmark, adding another 28 cities to their record and finish their extensiv tour in the Netherlands.

About Soilwork:
SOILWORK's high-class creative consistency, which they have been delivering solidly throughout their career, is the virtue that probably best defines them. Founded at the end of 1995, SOILWORK released their debut album Steelbath Suicide in 1998, garnering a great early response. By 2001 SOILWORK had joined Nuclear Blast, and by 2003 they already had five records under their belt.

Continuing their tradition of high-quality musical output, 2022 saw their twelfth studio album ‘Övergivenheten’, which represents the band in their growth and their current phase of life - marked by a time that probably no one on this planet will forget so quickly.


SOILWORK is:
Björn "Speed" Strid - vocals
Simon Johansson - guitars
Sven Karlsson - keyboards
Sylvain Coudret - guitars
Bastian Thusgaard - drums
Rasmus Ehrnborn - bass

NeverWake Release Re-Imagined Cover of Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell" to all major platforms!

Stream/Download "Rebel Yell"

https://ffm.to/neverwake

NeverWake starts the 2023 year off with a blast releasing their single cover of Billy Idol’s 80’s rock anthem “Rebel Yell” for the song’s 40th year anniversary.

"We are very selective on the music we like to cover and this one hit home with us. We pursued this track because not only is it a rock anthem, but it holds a bit of nostalgia for the band. My father is a musician and I grew up watching his band on stage over the years with my jaw on the floor, just awestruck as a kid. He would cover lots of tracks but I always loved when he did Billy Idol. When our former drummer Marcus Giannamore brought his ideas for this rendition to the table it lit a fire inside of me because it brought me back to the days of me watching my dad’s band just kick ass on stage. He was my first inspiration to lead me to what we do today. And we’d love to pass that on,"says Johnny DiCarlo.

NeverWake is a haunting sinew of hard rock and metalcore out of Pittsburgh PA. Captivating melodies are entwined with heavy grooves that refuse to leave the mind. Explosive riffs weave their way over a strong foundation. NeverWake has been capturing the minds of listeners worldwide. They have toured the US, played various national festivals, shared the stage with bands such as Falling In Reverse, All That Remains, and many more.

Just recently they have worked with powerhouse musicians such as John Moyer of Disturbed. There are no signs of slowing as the band is on course to release continually throughout the year and tour mid 2023. NeverWake consists of Johnny DiCarlo on lead vocals/lead guitar, George Scott on bass guitar/vocals and Justin Sanford lead guitar/vocals.

NeverWake is currently endorsed by Schecter Guitars, EMG pickups, DR Handmade Strings,and Splawn Amplification. NeverWake is signed to Melodic Revolution Records.

Hair metal heroes, JOHN DIVA & THE ROCKETS OF LOVE, will release their third album, 'The Big Easy', on March 17, 2023. On this new studio full-length, these high-spirited musicians return to do what they do best: straightforward, refreshing rock with distinctive riffs, hard beats, multilayered lyrics, and a frontman in top form.

Today, the Rockets share their new single, "The Limit is the Sky", bringing back carefree 80s vibes, yet managing to make them sound brand new. And isn’t a sense of being carefree exactly what we all need right now?

Watch the Video for "The Limit is the Sky"

The name of the record says it all, "We wanted to record an album that sounds like Cherry Cola," guitarist Snake Rocket explains about the process for 'The Big Easy', "Also, we put great emphasis on the fact that the record is intended as an album and doesn’t sound as if we jammed together an intro and eleven random songs. The record works in that order precisely." 

Never has JOHN DIVA & THE ROCKETS OF LOVE sounded more like a unit – dripping with joy and California sunshine from every pore. Synonymous with wild parties, passionate live shows, and liberal messages in their lyrics, the band remains on top of their craft on 'The Big Easy'!

'The Big Easy' will be released worldwide on March 17th, 2023

TRIBUTE TO THRASH METAL GUITARIST JIM DURKIN BY DREAMS OF DAMNATION VOCALIST

On Wednesday, March 8th, 2023, the worldwide metal community lost a TITAN of thrash metal: JIM DURKIN of DARK ANGEL.

While best known for creating ear-blistering, adrenaline-inducing, soul-slaughtering guitar riffs and writing songs that would become legendary in a genre of metal that his band helped create, he was also a gentle giant with an incredible singing voice who would never hurt a spider and would stop everything to move an injured animal -- insect, bird, reptile, mammal -- out of harm's way.

Humble to his core, he never understood why anyone made a fuss about him. I remember my nervousness at meeting him in-person for the first time at The Brave Bull in San Gabriel, California in 2000, after his 3-piece band, DREAMS OF DAMNATION, played their set. My hands shook as I handed him my DARK ANGEL albums to sign. Here was the man who wrote Darkness Descends and Leave Scars -- two life-defining albums that articulated and gave full voice to my rage which had no other outlet but heavy metal music. Being such an esteemed & influential guitarist, his humility, genuine kindness, and very Irish sense of humor immediately impressed me. 

Jimmy's friendship was the gift of a lifetime. He introduced me to mixed martial arts & the UFC, Hellboy comics, and DEFLESHED's Fast Forward album. Though he worked long days and weekends, he patiently listened to me vent about work and L.A. traffic, made me howl with laughter until my sides and cheeks hurt, and always remembered my birthday (and Randy Rhoads's and Scott Gorham's and Phil Lynott's and Gary Moore's). We had comic book reading marathons, watched Japanese kaiju movies in his living room (Go Go Godzilla!), and grilled burgers in his backyard. He invited me, an unknown & unproven nobody, to front DREAMS OF DAMNATION and write lyrics to his music. He saw something in me that I didn't. He believed in me.

It is inconceivable, unjust, and utterly devastating for a human being as beautiful as Jim to be taken from us. To me, he will always remain a shining example of -- as guitar tech Willie Gee appropriately said -- "the tenacity of the human spirit." 

To KISS, MOTÖRHEAD, SLAYER, METALLICA, TANK, VENOM, WARGASM, WITCHERY, THE HAUNTED, AT THE GATES,  DEFLESHED, and the long list of bands residing in his music library: YOU INSPIRED HIM.

To guitarists Randy Rhoads, Mick Tucker, Cliff Evans, Scott Gorham, Gary Moore, Brian Robertson, Michael Schenker, Paul Chapman, Neil Carter, Neal Schon, Rik Emmett, John Norum, John Sykes, Joe Bonamassa, Patrik Jensen, Anders Björler, Gary Holt, Michael Amott, Akira Takasaki, Doug Aldrich, Adrian Vandenberg, and so many others: YOU LIVE IN HIS DNA.

To singers Algy Ward, Steve Perry, Phil Lynott, Phil Mogg, Graham Bonnet, Joe Lynn Turner, Tony Thurlow, Mickey Thomas, Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford, Tony Martin, Terry Ilous, John West, Joey Tempest, Ray Gillen, Tony Kakko, Roy Khan, Kal Swan, and Josh Groban: YOUR VOICES MADE HIS HEART SOAR.

To composers John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, James Horner, Jerry Goldsmith, and Howard Shore: YOUR WORKS WERE A WELL OF CREATIVITY HE DRANK DEEPLY FROM.

To the NWOBHM bands who launched a still-relevant, historical musical movement: YOU OWN A SPECIAL PLACE IN THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF HIS HEART.

To the Chilean fans in Santiago who gave Jimmy & the band a hero's welcome at the airport in 2014 and raged in the pit with road flares: YOU AMAZED HIM.

To the 2014 SWEDEN ROCK FESTIVAL attendees who drove hours & crossed borders to come see him play: YOU HUMBLED HIM.

To those present at Finland's JALOMETALII FESTIVAL in 2014 for the band's inaugural live debut: YOU MADE HIM GIVE HIS BEST.
To the HELLFEST 2014 crowd in France (the largest audience he'd ever played for): YOU TOOK HIS BREATH AWAY.

To the Irish & English fans at BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2015 (and the fans that embraced him at the pub afterwards): HE CHERISHED YOU FOR KNOWING HIS GREEN CONVERSE WERE A TRIBUTE TO GARY MOORE.

To the 2018 LORDS OF THE LAND fans in Glasgow, Scotland who spent their hard-earned money on concert tickets: HE DEEPLY APPRECIATED YOUR FINANCIAL SACRIFICE AND REVERED THE SACRED BEAUTY OF YOUR HOMELAND.

To the promoters & metalheads of JAPAN: THE FINGERPRINTS OF YOUR POLITENESS & ATTENTION TO DETAIL LEFT AN IMPRESSION ON HIM.

To the 2019 tour organizers & audiences of AUSTRALIA: HE WAS AWED BY THE PURITY OF YOUR PASSION AND THE ANIMAL LIFE OF YOUR CONTINENT.

A todos los metaleros mexicanos de MÉXICO METALFEST IV 2019: DICHOSOS TODOS USTEDES -- YOU WERE THE LAST AUDIENCE TO EXPERIENCE HIM LIVE ON STAGE.


To the veteran headbangers of FENDER'S BALLROOM in Long Beach & the ULTIMATE REVENGE 2: HE HAS NEVER FORGOTTEN YOU.
 

To ALL generations within our beautiful, worldwide heavy metal scene: 

Jim was HONORED to be a tape-trading founding member of what has become this immense, loving, globe-spanning community. He's been EXTREMELY proud of the many ways all younger generations are carrying the torch forward into metal's future. HAMMER ON!
 

To ALL of us around the world left behind with broken, heavy, grieving hearts: 

Let us HONOR HIM by living our lives rich with meaningful friendships and with kindness toward all creatures great & small.
 

To Annie, his wife of 34 years: Jimmy's love for you can only be measured by an INFINITY OF INFINITIES. 


Dearest Jimmy, Our Cú Chulainn,

My life improved with you in it.

The light of your strong and generous heart reached the depths of my soul. There are no words that could express my everlasting gratitude. 

You will be deeply missed all the rest of my days. In quiet moments, I will listen for your laughter.

May your beloved mother & uncles and the line of your people -- all of your ancestors all the way back to the beginning -- welcome you among them with their everlasting light and love.

Strength and Honor.

Now you are free.

About Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors
There are no strangers at a Drew Holcomb show. For the better part of two decades, the award-winning songwriter has brought his audience together night after night, turning his shows into celebrations of community, collaboration, and contemporary American roots music. Strangers No More, the ninth album from Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, celebrates that sense of togetherness. Produced by Cason Cooley, it expands the band’s mix of timeless songwriting, modern-day Laurel Canyon folk, amplified Americana, and heartland rock & roll. “All The Money in the World,” with its deep-pocketed groove that showcases The Neighbors’ musicality, is punctuated by blasts of brass, marking the band’s first song to feature horns. “That's On You, That's On Me” makes room for barrelhouse piano, slide guitar, and the greasy grit of a juke joint rock band. “On a Roll” and “Possibility” are Springsteen-sized rock & roll melodramas that wail and exalt, their cinematic arrangements built for the large rooms that Holcomb regularly plays these days. “Fly” is a reflective, finger-plucked folksong. Finally, there's “Dance With Everybody,” a lively tribute to the live show that brims with a joyful optimism — a feeling that was often missing during the band’s earlier years, when their shows weren’t nearly as packed. Song by song, Strangers No More offers an all-encompassing view not only of the places Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors have been, but where they're headed next, too. It's an invitation into the band’s world. Strangers no more, indeed.
 
About Drew Green
Drew Green’s current single “Good Ol’ Man'' currently has over 80 million streams worldwide.  The single gained its prominence after Green posted the song on TikTok.  The viral track has now amassed over 53,300 user generated videos on the platform. The new track dropped on the heels of Drew Green’s two-EP musical journey, Dirt Boy Vol. 1 (Sept. 2020) and Dirt Boy Vol. 2 (Oct. 2021). Green’s debut seven-song collection yielded the streaming successes “She Got That” and “Little More Be Alright.” His  subsequent EP included the title track, “Dirt Boy,” and four additional tracks. To date, Green has exceeded 148 million career worldwide streams.

Twenty-three-year-old singer-songwriter Chance Peña recently found himself amid a flurry of offers from several record labels. His choice? ONErpm, the one “leading the charge on the frontier of the music industry,” Peña says.
 
“As an artist and business owner, I want complete control—from a creative, marketing and financial standpoint—over my music,” Peña explains. “Most major record labels just don’t offer that, particularly to newly signed acts. ONErpm is different, and that difference made my decision an easy one.”
 
Peña is part of a new brand of artists who see ONErpm’s model as the wave of the future. As company founder Emmanuel Zunz explains, “We continue to layer on professional services from marketing to intelligence tools, analytics and more. In the last 12 years, we have evolved from a distribution company into a modern-day record label.”
 
A Tyler, Texas, native, Peña first burst onto the music scene in 2015 by making coach Adam Levine’s team on season nine of The Voice as a 15-year-old prodigy. That appearance led to a publishing deal with Secret Road, ultimately culminating in the opportunity to co-write “Conversations in the Dark” with three high-profile writers, including Gregg Wattenberg, which led the song to be pitched to John Legend. It became the lead single on Legend’s 2020 Bigger Love album, which went on to win a Grammy for best R&B album and also earned Peña a gold record. The budding superstar also experienced early sync success with his song “Up Up and Away” landing a spot in the 2019 drama Five Feet Apart.
 
Peña, who counts American alternative folk band The Lumineers and rapper Kid Cudi among his influences, also produces and engineers his own music. He is currently working on a new EP as a follow-up to anxiety & mixed emotions (2019) and The Inevitable (2020). His current single, “In My Room,” released in May 2022, is approaching 80 million in total consumption, including 61 million streams on Spotify, 5 million on Apple, 1.4 million on Amazon and 70,000 on Pandora, with an additional 7 million video views on YouTube and 1 million on TikTok.
 
“Being at the forefront of the music industry is something I see myself doing as well,” Peña elaborates, “so when I met the ONErpm team and saw how our goals aligned in more ways than one, I knew it was a match made in heaven. They’re genuine, hard-working, music-loving people,” he enthuses, “and I’m honored to have the opportunity to work with them.”
 
Bread City’s Liz Baylog, one of Chance’s managers, agrees, noting that “ONErpm’s openness to cater to independent artists by sharing their expertise and adding value to what the artists are already succeeding with is why they are such compelling partners.” Founder of Secret Road, Lynn Grossman concurs, adding that “the folks at ONErpm have already shown their ability to move a project forward with total respect for the artist’s vision.”
 
Alex Ziabko and Brian Moroney, both members of the A&R team at ONErpm, are excited to help Peña take the next steps to stardom. “Chance’s meteoric rise has been absolutely incredible to watch,” Ziabko says. “We look forward to matching his ambitions and are committed to growing his global footprint. Chance’s talent and passion are infectious, we are thrilled to be a part of his journey.” Moroney adds that “Chance is showing his peers and the music industry that there are new and exciting ways to build your career and team independently. He’s worked hard to lead a generation of artists that choose sovereignty. We could not be more excited to work with this seminal artist.”

INTREPID BLOOM Releases Visualizer for EP Title-Single, "Missing Link"

Hard rock artist INTREPID BLOOM has concluded the lead-up to his sophomore EP with a striking official visualizer for the title-track, "Missing Link". Blending surreal lyrics and imagery with a heavy, spaced-out song. "Missing Link" expertly creates an immersive auditory experience, showcasing all of the brilliant elements brought together in the enigmatic artist's sophomore EP.

"This hard rock EP has some psychedelic elements. Each song is a little different but they fit together in the end like a puzzle." - Intrepid Bloom

Intrepid Bloom is from Philadelphia, and cultivates its sound from being a lifelong musician, songwriter, adventurer and extrospective. A guitarist, bassist, keyboardist and vocalist, Intrepid Bloom weaves them together in a thoughtful, aggressive manner that sometimes gets spacey.

The new EP, Missing Link, is a mental ride from start to finish, mixing catchy, gritty guitar and bass riffs, dirty vocals, slamming drums, and with some psychedelic moments. Missing Link is released under the WURMgroup record label, and was mixed and mastered by Ulrich Wild.

Like a seed that breaks through concrete, Intrepid Bloom breaks out of one rock genre and flourishes as an abstract blossom.

"Let the great beyond play you her songs. Connected to all and becoming one." " - INTREPID BLOOM

"Heavy psychedelic rock album, Missing Link flows quickly with its unusual short song structures, and each song getting right to the point. Gritty guitar and vocals, dirty bass, hammering drums in a mix of rock vibes and surprises." - Intrepid Bloom

One of the preeminent independent artists of this generation touted by everyone from Eminem to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and streamed 1 billion-plus times, rapper HOPSIN has returned with another new track. Today, he has shared the new song "Rebirth." Listen below.

The track is the second of four from Minor Disturbance, a new chapter of songs from Hopsin.

ABOUT HOPSIN:
Continuing a tireless grind as one of independent music's most inspired, impactful, and influential voices, Hopsin continually levels up his signature lyrical mastery. In 2007, the Los Angeles spitter, producer, director, editor, actor, and Undercover Prodigy founder first made his presence known with no-holds barred lyricism, razor sharp rhymes, and fearless creativity. Posting up over 1 billion streams and views outside of the system, he infiltrated the mainstream on his own terms with three gold-certified singles to date, namely "Sag My Pants," "Ill Mind of Hopsin 5," and "Ill Mind of Hopsin 8." After attracting a faithful following with Raw [2010] and Knock Madness [2013], he crashed the Billboard Top 200 at #17 with Pound Syndrome in 2015. Most recently, 2017's No Shame moved 15,000 copies first-week and emerged as his second straight Top 20 entry on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart. Beyond selling out shows on multiple continents, he appeared on the cover of XXL as a "Freshman" and garnered plugs courtesy of Complex, Rolling Stone, The Source, Vibe, and Huffington Post, who profiled him as "The Real Best Rapper Alive." Not to mention, Eminem cited him among "the Logics, the Coles, the Seans, the K-Dots, the 5'9"s" on "Fall" from 2018's Kamikaze. After a series of transformative experiences, the rapper born Marcus Jamal Hopson painted the realest and rawest depiction of himself in 2021 with new singles "Your House" and "Alone With Me." He has recently been featured in Ebony, Psychology Today, and Thrasher.

STEVIE D Unveils Tribute to JEFF BECK with Guitar Play-Through of "Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers"!

Producer and multi-instrumentalist songwriter STEVIE D(Stephen DeAcutis) has revealed his official guitar play-through music video for his incredible tribute to the late JEFF BECK, "Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers," featuring Nir Z on drums and Jack Daley on bass.

"I recorded 'Cause We’ve Ended as Lover’s' about 2 years ago but, for whatever reason, hadn’t had it on my list of things to mix! I knew it was going to get done but I just had not scheduled the session! When Jeff passed recently, it was painfully obvious that it was time and I literally the day he passed pulled up the tracks and started mixing the song and did not stop till I started to tear up. Then I knew it was done! One pretty cool note about this recording, I actually made a tempo map from the original Blow by Blow release best that I could! If you listen close you can hear how the tempo ramped up as the track matured!" - STEVIE D

Stephen DeAcutis Aka Stevie D (born October 9, 1961) is the owner operator of Sound Spa Productions and Recording Studio in Edison, NJ where he has been Producing and mixing records for the better part of 3 decades.
Stevie D is best known for his recording expertise but has also participated as a multi-instrumentalist on many of the releases that have come out of Sound Spa as well as his own including the 2019 release with Living Colour Front man Corey Glover “Torn from the Pages” DeAcutis wrote all of the songs on the record as well as playing all the guitar, produced, mixed and mastered.

Stevie D began his fascination with recording when his parents bought him a Norelco cassette player for Christmas as a very young man and began recording prank phone calls thus he could be stated that he is the original jerky boy! At that same time his father who was a a stereo enthusiast set up a very elaborate stereo system that Stevie D quickly turned into a make shift recording set up! At around this time he started playing drums, bass then finally guitar!

In the early 80’s Stevie D took a job as head engineer at Venture Sound in Somerville NJ, a 24-track studio working for Tony Camillo a very successful arranger, producer responsible for such hits as Midnight Train To Georgie, Band Of Gold, and many more. DeAcutis would go on to work with many notable artists with Camillo, Cyndi Lauper, LJ Reynolds, and Franke Previteto name a few.

At that time he was engineering full time and running his own band which signed a production deal with Columbia Records and Ron Piccolo the head of PR at Columbia who broke the first Boston record.

In the mid 90’s DeAcutis would sign a major record deal with Sony/Colombiawith his band POD working with legendary A&R guru John Kolodner. After the record got shelved DeAcutis would build Sound Spa and has been thriving as a Producer, Mixer, and Multi-Instrumentalist since the late 90’s to the present day!

These days DeAcutis is mainly working on and releasing his own material and also taking on aspiring and established artists to produce and co-write with!
On top of that he has become one of the more acclaimed and respected guitarists in music today. Visit www.soundspa.net for more information
