Beauty In Chaos shares 'Holy Ground' feat. Patrik Mata (Kommunity FK) ahead of fourth album 'Dancing With Angels'

"Stunning musical and, in particular, six-string intricacy... layers of lush, ringing, occasionally grimy and often heavily effected guitars" ~ Guitar World

"Guitarist Michael Ciravolo assembled an all-star cast for his moody hard-hitting album... Intense" ~ Rolling Stone  

"Hauntingly heavy and beautiful"LA Weekly


With their fourth album 'Dancing With Angels' just a breath away (it's out on July 24), LA-based collective Beauty In Chaos throws open the gates to the darkwave realm, sharing a stunning music video for 'Holy Ground'. A lush offering that features the unforgettable vocals of Patrik Mata of seminal darkwave band Kommunity FK, this marks a thrilling departure from BIC's signature goth rock / postpunk sound.

Formed in 2018 by guitarist Michael Ciravolo (formerly of Human Drama and Gene Loves Jezebel and currently President of Schecter Guitars) with Grammy nominated producer Michael Rozon (Ministry), Beauty in Chaos is a revolving evolving sonic entity. To date, BIC has involved numerous luminaries from The Cure, Ministry, Cheap Trick, The Offspring, Gene Loves Jezebel, Marilyn Manson, Human Drama, Bauhaus, Nine Inch Nails, Van Halen, A Flock of Seagulls, dUg Pinnick (Kings X), ICE-T, guitar icon Zakk Wylde, Rolan Bolan, among others.

“I love swinging the pendulum as far opposite as possible from our previous video.  I think “Holy Ground” faithfully captures the sights and sounds of the great mid ‘80s darkwave scene that revolved around Los Angeles’ famed Scream club.  This was such a great time in music. This is when I actually first met Patrik, as we shared several bills with them when I was a member of Human Drama" says Michael Ciravolo.

Both Human Drama and Kommunity FK appeared on Geffen’s 1987 'Scream Compilation’, with the latter gaining well-deserved fame for their MTV and club hit 'Something Inside Me Has Died’. Patrik Mata is currently working with Dave Roberts (Sex Gang Children) in a new project, called Kult Children Ov The Damned.  

As for the story behind On 'Holy Ground', Patrik Mata shares, "A Watcher, a Supernatural Being, descends upon the planet below. He became transfixed, curious, & seduced by the women & Earthly pleasures & mysteries found. Ever since The Beginning this Being roamed the Earth creating Nephilim. What seems like an Eternity, The Being becomes a Fallen Angel, jaded, decadent, & tired having used & having been through every Earthling on the planet. The Fallen Angel shares its interpretation ov how this planet used to be considered Holy Ground, but now it is not. The only thing that The Fallen Angel yearns for is to return back Home. Back to The Gate.”

Released via 33.3 Music Collective, the 'Dancing With Angels' album cements BIC's legacy for crafting captivating and imagination-stirring music with eight diverse, riveting tracks on offer. Michael Ciravolo explains, "The title was inspired by a painting from a talented German artist Maren Platzhoff, which also became the album’s cover.  As Michael Rozon and I began writing the music for this release, I knew I wanted to blend artists from our first two releases with some amazing new members to our BIC family".

This eight song release features BIC alumni Ashton Nyte, Holy Wars firecracker Kat Leon, and both Wayne and Cinthya Hussey.  Ciravolo shares “I love bringing in ‘less famous’ but certainly no less talented artists to the fold, and I think this album does just that”.  Leo Luganskiy (Strangelove), Julian Shah-Tayler (The Singularity), former Silence In The Snow frontwoman Cynthia Isabella, The Bellwether Syndicate’s William and Sarah Faith, and Patrik Mata (Kommunity FK) bring immense and diverse talents to 'Dancing With Angels'.  
 
Ciravolo describes this album as sort of a "sonic regression and a sonic progression", noting “I meant this as a positive thing, taking some of the post-rock elements of our debut album, the stark dark bits that run through ‘The Storm Before The Calm' and the gothy dreamy-gaze of  'Behind The Veil’. It was definitely going a bit backwards to take a few steps forward!”  

Speaking of going forward, this album in its CD format includes something that Ciravolo has long wanted to do... joining the songs together with musical interludes, which he has dubbed ‘Halos’.  Ciravolo explains, “These are unique soundscape interludes that sonically tie each song together, along with the album’s coda.  I do have this… probably unrealistic romantic idea that the listener will give this album at least one top-to-bottom uninterrupted listen”.

The album's lead track 'Diving For Pearls' features The Mission's Wayne Hussey and Cinthya Hussey, his wife and partner in Archeometre, accompanied by an overlapping-reality video, created by Vicente Cordero / Industrialism Films, The ‘single version’ was mixed by legendary producer Tim Palmer (The Cure, U2, David Bowie, Robert Plant, HIM, The Mission). Hussey's fourth BIC collaboration, Ciravolo says this “may just be the best we’ve written together”.

‘Diving For Pearls' is currently available via Bandcamp, Apple Music and Spotify, and is also available as a limited edition CD single. As of July 24, 'Dancing With Angels' is available on limited edition multi-color vinyl and CD from the Beauty In Chaos store, as well as digitally. The first 100 vinyl copies come with two posters signed by the artists. Vinyl and CD purchases also include the full digital version of the album (with Halos and two bonus tracks).

SEC NETWORK REFRESHES SEC NATION THEME SONG AND OPENING SEQUENCE WITH COUNTRY MUSIC STAR BROOKE EDEN

As SEC Network celebrates its 10th anniversary and a new era for the Southeastern Conference with the addition of Oklahoma and Texas, SECN has tapped country music star Brooke Eden to revamp the theme song and opening sequence for SEC Nation, the network’s weekly, traveling pre-game show.

 

SEC Nation debuted on August 28, 2014, with a customized version of Robert Randolph and The Family Band’s “Take The Party” as its opening theme song. A decade ago, Randolph worked closely with network producers to develop custom lyrics for “Party Wherever We Go” – an SEC-centric version that complemented the show’s goal of bringing the sights and sounds of a SEC football tailgate to viewers every Saturday. 10 years later, Eden put her twist on the tune with a new sound and original lyrics to include the Sooners and Longhorns.

 

“It’s such a privilege to get the opportunity to put my mark on the SEC Nation theme song and opening sequence,” says Brooke. “I’m so grateful for the chance to engage with fans and celebrate the passion of college football through a song that means so much to each of us. I grew up right here in the SEC; so, these games make me feel at home even when I’m on the road.”

 

SEC Network viewers will hear the renewed song in full the night before the first SEC Nation of the 2024 season, when Eden releases the track across all streaming and music platforms at midnight on Friday, Aug. 30. The theme song and opening tease will premiere at 10 a.m. ET on Saturday, Aug. 31, when the show travels to Gainesville, Fla. to showcase the Florida Gators hosting in-state rival Miami Hurricanes.

 

SEC Nation returns to college football tailgates, stadiums and sidelines this fall, and will regularly follow the site of the 3:30 p.m. SEC on ABC showdown. Laura Rutledge will host the show for her eighth season, her ninth on the show overall, joined by Tim Tebow, Paul Finebaum, Jordan Rodgers and Roman Harper. A “Making Of” feature of Eden’s spin on “Party Wherever We Go” will air during SEC Now on ESPN2 and SEC Network on Wednesday, July 17, at 8 p.m. ET.

Applauded for her “commanding stage presence and brassy straight-shooting style” (Nashville Lifestyles), “Brooke Eden is the queer country superstar we need and deserve” (Gay Times Magazine). Her latest EP, Outlaw Love, is nothing short of Brooke’s purely authentic, glowing self, that perfectly captures her “fun-loving ’90s-influenced sound…with a compelling message to boot” (American Songwriter).  Brooke revisits the title track of her latest EP with the release of "Outlaw Love (Dave Audé Remix)" available now.  A Florida Gators fan since her childhood, Brooke’s latest release “Party Wherever We Go” will serve as the theme for the SEC Nation and will be available on August 30th.

Morgan Wallen Adds 2nd Night at Neyland: Friday, Sept. 20

“I’m coming home,” Morgan Wallen posted Monday, announcing his East Tennessee homecoming concert at Knoxville’s Neyland Stadium on Sunday, September 22. In a video set to “Rocky Top,” millions of fans had viewed it by lunch, snatching up hotel rooms across the city in anticipation of tickets going on sale Wednesday morning. The news has been met with such fervor that the 11-time Billboard Music Award-winner has now added a second and final hometown show for Friday, September 20. Tickets go on-sale beginning Thursday, July 18 at 11am EST at MorganWallen.com.
 
With over 150,000 fans expected to attend across both nights, Wallen becomes the first artist in the venue’s nearly-100-year history to ever play two nights as the One Night At A Time 2024 tour stop marks the first time the country singer has returned to Knoxville on tour since headlining the Tennessee Valley Fair in 2019. 
 
Fans can also purchase VIP Packages, which may include premium tickets, guided backstage tour, group photo on the stage, invitation to the Morgan Wallen VIP Lounge, VIP-exclusive gift item and more. VIP package contents vary based on the offer selected. For more information, visit vipnation.com.
 
Upon sharing the news earlier this week, Wallen stated, “I’ve had the honor of playing in a lot of college, MLB and NFL stadiums the past two years, but getting to play to my hometown at Neyland Stadium, nothing tops this for a boy from East Tennessee.”
 
With a portion of every ticket purchased to his live shows benefiting The Morgan Wallen Foundation (MWF), the nonprofit recently donated $100,000 to the community of Jefferson City to improve and renovate two local baseball fields. With $80,000 going toward Roy Harmon Field via the City Parks Department and $20,000 toward New Market Field via Jefferson City Little League, the renovations include new infields, bases, dug outs, press boxes, backstop padding, fencing and more. Read more HERE.
 
With just 11 dates remaining on One Night At A Time in the U.S., Wallen will kick-off his first-ever European tour on Aug. 28 in Stockholm, Sweden.

Brantley Gilbert Reveals Tattoos 9/13 + "Me And My House" ft. Struggle Jennings and Demun Jones Available Now

Fifteen years after the release of his debut album, multi-Platinum country-rock trailblazer Brantley Gilbert knows life has a way of leaving a mark. You can either hide it or embrace it. With his seventh studio album, Tattoos, set for release September 13 via The Valory Music Co., the Georgia native chooses to embrace it – inspired by the idea that his tattoos tell a story, just like his songs. And just like his songs, he’ll never hide the truth they reveal. Pre-order/pre-save Tattoos HERE.
 
“All my albums, they capture a chapter of my life,” Gilbert explains. “If somebody wants to know who I am, what I’ve been through and where I stand, they can start at the beginning and listen through, and that’s why it was undeniable that Tattoosshould be the title – because my tattoos do the same thing.
 
“People get ‘em for a lot of reasons, but for most of us, tattoos talk about our victories and losses, our struggles and the whole nine,” he observes. “I was one of those kids who had to learn the hard way. But if I would've listened to the advice of others, I don’t know I would have ended up where I am.”
 
Featuring 10 songs all co-written by Gilbert with a trusted cast of long-time collaborators, the set matches Gilbert’s ink in both striking design and depth of meaning. Through flowing curves and jagged lines, shadow and light look back on a life of blue-collar pride and full-throttle rebellion – along with addictive love, abiding faith and blessings beyond what any of us deserve.
 
With today’s announcement, Gilbert shares a preview of the forthcoming project with “Me And My House” ft. Struggle Jennings and Demun Jones, a hand-over-heart declaration of purpose and a defiant tip of the hat to the independent country rap world Gilbert has always admired, as each collaborator wrote and performed their own verses.
 
“I believe that all of us are the kings and queens of our own castle, and I would never in a million years tell somebody how to run their home,” shares Gilbert. “It’s just about sharing how we run ours, what home is to us. I think it’s a song people won’t just relate to; I think it’s a song we need.”
 
In celebration of his new album Tattoos, Gilbert will headline Brantley Gilbert’s World’s Largest Album Release Party on Broadway in downtown Nashville on Friday, September 13. The free multi-artist concert is part of FREEDOM FRIDAY events kicking off the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix weekend (September 13-15). Presented by 1st Phorm Energy, with additional partnership from Rousch, Polaris, and Modern Buggy, the 4th annual FREEDOM FRIDAY concert honors members of the Military, Police, Fire, First Responders and Frontline Heroes. The 160th Special Ops Aviation Regiment will perform a helicopter aerial demonstration and a pre-concert flyover by the 101st Airborne Division.
 
With his dedicated BG Nation behind him, the fiery performer has racked up more than 8.3 Billion career streams, boasting back-to-back Platinum albums and seven No. 1 hits including the RIAA 7x Platinum “Bottoms Up;” 2x Platinum “Country Must Be Country Wide;” 2x Platinum “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do;” 2x Platinum “One Hell of An Amen;” and the Platinum-certified “What Happens In A Small Town” with Lindsay Ell. But despite the mainstream success, his defining trait has been fierce independence – a quality you can’t fake in front of country fans. Tattoos just adds to the picture.
 
As lead single “Over When We’re Sober” with Ashley Cooke climbs the charts at country radio after being most added upon its debut, Gilbert’s headlining Off The Rails Tour continues this weekend with stops in Duluth, Minn., Council Bluffs, Iowa and Goddard, Kan.

About Brantley Gilbert
As one of the godfathers of country’s modern rock-and-rap edge, multi-Platinum The Valory Music Co. trailblazer Brantley Gilbert knows life has a way of leaving a mark. With his seventh studio album, Tattoos, set for release September 13, the Georgia native chooses to embrace it – inspired by the idea that his tattoos tell a story, just like his songs. And just like his songs, he’ll never hide the truth they reveal. An era-defining artist forever bonded to his fans, Gilbert’s been mining the timeless values of hard-working dedication, high-octane thrills and humble faith since his 2009 debut, A Modern Day Prodigal Son, creating a chart-topping grit-and-grace fusion which helped set the stage for today’s genre-blending format. With his dedicated BG Nation behind him, the fiery performer-songwriter has racked up more than 8.3 BILLION career streams, boasting back-to-back Platinum albums and seven No. 1 hits including the RIAA 7x Platinum “Bottoms Up;” 2x Platinum “Country Must Be Country Wide;” 2x Platinum “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do;” 2x Platinum “One Hell of An Amen;” and the Platinum-certified “What Happens In A Small Town” with Lindsay Ell. His world-class pen helped create a watershed hit with Jason Aldean’s 4x Platinum country-rap game changer, “Dirt Road Anthem.” And possessing a can’t-fake-it quality of fierce independence, the ACM, CMA and AMA award winner has toured alongside everyone from Willie Nelson and Toby Keith to Kenny Chesney, Nickelback and more. Tattoos further cements his legacy – 10 cowritten, co-produced tracks with an electrifying mix of in-your-face aggression and roughneck reflection, as Gilbert’s diesel-powered smoke-and-soul vocal delivers another full-spectrum soundtrack to modern country life. Tracks like full-throttle “Off the Rails” and intoxicating chart-climbing single “Over When We’re Sober” with Ashley Cooke lead a set packed with guest appearances from Gary LeVox, Justin Moore and Off The Rails tour mates Struggle Jennings and Demun Jones, as the superstar headlines across the U.S. through October 2024.

Extinction A.D. Release New Track "Epidemic Of Mutation" And Official Video (via Unique Leader Records)

Extinction A.D. have released their latest banger "Epidemic Of Mutation" and the official video (via Unique Leader Records). Speaking on today's release, the band commented:

"We always love working in dynamics in a song and Epidemic is us taking that to the extreme. Combining the most ripping of riffs and an ultra hooky chorus while remaining so heavy is what’s really been getting us off on this record. Throwing in some real stompy things and not being afraid of the quieter parts in conjunction with that has been real exciting and expressive with this song. 

Lyrically, we’re always on the frustration tip which only matches the music but in 2024 more and more people look past the lyrics element. “Shut up and play!” is more prevalent than reading into what your listening to. The whole world is like that now. The media barely has to lie to us anymore. Three people can read the same synopsis of an event and mold it however they want it to fit their narrative. Some people like to keep that under wraps for fear of alienation despite their world view being based around alienating others. Sometimes I’m so overwhelmed by this that I absorb it and throw my hands up. “What the fuck can I even do about anything? What the fuck can anyone do about anything?!” The mutation of fact becoming alterable narrative is the ultimate epidemic.

Prior to today, the band unleashed "Impervious" featuring the inimitable Matthew Kiichi Heafy of Trivium. Both tracks are taken from the band's forthcoming new full-length 'To The Detested', out on August 16. Stream "Epidemic Of Mutation" here, watch the official video below, and pre-save 'To The Detested' here.

Extinction A.D. will be hitting the stage on the Detested America 2024 tour kicking off next month with Assault as support. Be sure to get your tickets from your local venue before they're all gone, and stay tuned for more Extinction A.D. news coming soon.

ABOUT EXTINCTION A.D.

Extinction A.D. is not for the faint of heart and the intensity of these New Yorkers has yet to be tempered. The bands signature level of ferocity has reached new levels on their fourth album ‘To The Detested’, which follows their EP ‘Ruthless Intent’ from earlier this year.

 

So many different worlds shaped this band; from writers like Alan Moore and George Orwell; lyricists like Wreak Havoc and Chuck D; to directors like Tarantino and John Carpenter. But musically, Extinction A.D. hook up a tube of early 90s era of metal into their veins. Not just bands like Pantera and Machine Head, but the often overlooked 90s offerings from Testament, Sepultura and Slayer.

 

Thrashing just as hard as their predecessors, the band also break their surroundings down and deliver some heavy as hell riotous mosh; hitting that all-important sweet spot mixture of 80s thrash, 90s extreme metal and New York hardcore, all encompassed into one.

GAEREA Announce New Album 'Coma'

"These shrouded and mysterious artists may hide their faces and their identities but their feelings and passion is out for all the world to see" - Metal Injection

"Terrifying at times, but beautiful, almost like life" -
New Noise

Gaerea arrived shrouded in mystery. The masked sensations emerged from pandemic limbo with a vision for black metal that was guided not by myths or pagan beliefs but a purging of emotion. Existential dread still pulses through the Portuguese band's blood, but their upcoming fourth album signals a shift in psychology.

With Coma, Gaerea are no longer strictly a black metal band. Instead, they're breaking to the forefront of extreme metal. Though their new album was produced by trusted confidant Miguel Tereso, it broadens the band's signature sound by taking it in two seemingly opposed directions. There are more moments of intense beauty, but they only heighten the ensuing blows. 

The world may be as hopeless as the album's lead single declares. But with Coma, Gaerea have returned to prove that they are only the band who can guide us into the darkness. 

Watch the video for "Hope Shatters" Below.

Coma comes out October 25, 2024 on Season of Mist. 

Pre-order & Pre-save:
https://orcd.co/gaereacoma

When Gaerea secretly gave everyone a sneak peek at their new album back in April, they set the world ablaze. Now, with the first official single off Coma, they're ushering in the immediate aftermath. "Hope Shatters" opens with a lone guitar that wails like a siren before a whirl of blast beats sucks the world back into the band's vortex.

"Welcome to the urban abyss", their unnamed vocalist pronounces. "Where dreams turn to rust". 

Gaerea aren't afraid to embrace harsh realities. There's clean singing on Coma, but the swarming darkness of "Hope Shatters" is only punctured by cries of agony. Even when the song collapses under its blistering heaviness, the melody hangs perilously in the air, like a swaying chandelier, before it's smashed to pieces by hammering bass and concussive drum fills.

Still, perhaps Gaerea have uncovered a shred of hope from beneath the blackened wreckage. As "Hope Shatters" meets its end, the band push ahead through the ashes with a triumphant, headbanging riff. "Enter the maze through the never-ending haze".  

With "Hope Shatters", Gaerea deliver an anthem for our dying era. 

The video for "Hope Shatters" was produced by Grupa 13 and directed by Dariusz Szermanowicz.

To usher in this new era, Gaerea are touring behind Coma later this year. The masked sensations will return to North America in November with Zeal & Ardor and ZETRA.

The band will also be performing "World Ablaze", "Hope Shatters" and other songs from their new album at several European summer festivals, along with two special dates with Behemoth and Testament.

‘A RISING FORCE’ returns with their 3rd Album titled “Truth” due August 9th, 2024 On Darkstar/Sony/Universal

PRE-ORDER HERE


A Rising Force is an all-original Minnesota rock act that signed their initial record deal with the HighVolMusic Label in December of 2020 in the middle of the covid pandemic. Their debut CD ‘Undertow’ was originally released in May of 2021, and spawned 3 singles including ‘Love and War’, “Crushed” and “Yesterdaze Hell”.

Both “Crushed” and “Yesterdaze Hell” charted in rock radio at #2 and #5 for the entire month of August on internet radio 97 Underground. Unfortunately, the untimely death of their Record Company President and Vice President Bill and Lori Chavis to Covid 19 put the release of their next single and video for the title track “Undertow” on hold, forcing the band to navigate through the legal challenges of retaining full ownership of their assets and rights to their music back.

The band then signed a new 2 Plus album deal with Dark Star Records/SONY/Universal and re-released the first Album, “Undertow” after the first of the year along with the video that has a memorial to their late record company President and friend Bill Chavis. In May 2022, the band released their follow up Album, “Eclipse” and toured briefly in support of Warrant, Kix, Tesla & Firehouse. The song “Believe” spent 8 weeks on the Billboard rock charts.

After a successful run in 2022, the band was thrown a curve ball by their singer, & parted ways with David Reed Watson over “musical differences and direction”.Original bass player Brian Lorenson retired from performing live, and guitarist Billy Schlump joined forces with Legacy of the Loud. Their 2nd drummer Petar Pouki returned to his Led Zeppelin tribute band.

After a few months off, Leni DiMancari Was approached by his good friend Steve Philbrook from Platinum Overdose, to start writing and recording a new album together, with Matt Jacobs on Bass and Michael Scott on drums. On the advice of the label, the band exercised their option album, and decided to call it “A Rising Force” instead of doing it as a solo effort between DiMancari & Philbrook.

The music on this album is incredibly well written and a hard driving effort, that has a very positive message to it. Stand out tracks include the first single, “Thrill of a Lifetime," as well as “Come Alive,” and “Winters Calling."

Over the last 4 years, the band has performed for thousands of fans, capacity crowds and they sold out of the first pressings of the album Undertow and Eclipse, to become one of Darkstar Records best-selling artists. Guitarist Leni DiMancari is part of the ESP artist roster.

The music is guitar-driven commercial hard rock combined with 4-part harmonies, and all fronted by an arena rock lead vocalist.

Ireland's intriguing PERRY BLAKE unveils new music gems on legacy-defining album 'Death of a Society Girl'

"One of music's great untapped resources and still on top of his game" ~ Music OMH

"The Last of The Great Songwriters" ~ Radio Nova

”Blake sounds like a cross between Bowie and Michael Nyman – only better” ~ Uncut

"Blake's glimpses of people living a state of mind is one of those great escapes, it's very hard to get away from. His gift here is to take a subdued, grown-up collection of songs but make them sound like they deserve daytime radio" ~ RTE.ie
 
'"A resilient rebirth’’ ~ The Observer
 
"We can luxuriate in Perry Blake’s generous, comforting voice – spotting traces of Nick Drake, trip hop and Gary Numan” ~ Hot Press

"A rich evolving sound-scape that cocoons Blake's almost surrealist lyrics. The limits of the Downtempo rulebook are broadly stretched with a weaving instrumentation that dips and wanders" ~ The Goo Review


Irish singer-songwriter Perry Blake, who largely came to fame in France and flourished with a career that brought opportunity throughout Europe, has released his new album 'Death of a Society Girl' via Moochin' About Records . There are nine compositions on offer, including the focus track 'Let's Fall In Love'.

His first music in five years, following the critically acclaimed ‘Songs of Praise’ (5 Stars MOJO), this album also marks 26 years for Blake as a recording artist. Very much of the here and now, this album also offers traces of Perry’s previous heady work - not dissimilar to his French Top-40 eponymous debut album - finding Perry at the height of his powers.

Earlier, Blake released the epic title track 'Death of a Society Girl' featuring British actor Paul McGann, known worldwide for his roles in BBC's 'Doctor Who', 'Withnail & I', 'Empire of the Sun', 'Alien 3' and 'Queen of the Damned'. He also teased the light-filled cinematic single  'Concertina' shortly before the album's release.

Co-written and co-produced with long-term collaborator Graham Murphy (Clannad, Sharon Shannon, Marie Brennan), this album features Blake's hallmark surrealist lyrics and original artwork by Syrian-born artist Helen Abbas.

Known for his delicate, downtempo and beautifully melancholic output and uniquely soothing timbre, he is well known as a collaborator of Françoise Hardy, who sang on 'War in France' (from his album 'Still Life'). He also contributed lyrics for her platinum-selling album 'Tant de belles choses’, having co-written, mixed and produced two songs ('Moments' and 'So Many Things') on this record, together with Marco Sabiuhe. Blake would later release his own versionof the latter track.

Hailing from Sligo county, Perry Blake has been dubbed one of music’s great untapped resources. Polydor UK released his debut album ‘Perry Blake’ in 1998 (with three 'Singles of the Week' on Jo Wiley BBC Radio 1), after which he moved to France. He achieved cult status there and across Europe, releasing a string of critically-acclaimed studio albums, a live album recorded at Cirque Royal Brussels with a full orchestra, as well as the soundtracks for ‘Presque Rien’ and 'Trois Petites Filles'.

Apple Music  https://music.apple.com/us/artist/perry-blake/41417526

Over the years, his musical endeavours has led him to collaborate with numerous musical luminaries, including Toby Pitman (Paul McCartney, George Michael, David Arnold, Clint Mansell, Shirley Bassey), Steve Jansen (Japan, Rain Tree Crow), Glenn Garrett (Dead Can Dance, Brendan Perry), Neil Conti (David Bowie, Prefab Sprout), Rik Carter (The Mission, All About Eve), Marco Sabiu (Ennio Morricone, Tanita Tikaram, Luciano Pavarotti)Dickon Hinchliffe (Tindersticks), and world-renowned French electronic artist Émilie Simon.

Perry Blake’s melancholic, melodic soundscapes have featured in many European TV series and cinematic works. Between 2006 and 2011, these include 'Tiger Lily'and 'Clara Sheller' (France’s version of 'Sex in the City'), plus hit Italian movie 'L’uomo cheama'  starring Monica Belluci. He has also appeared regularly on French TV and toured Europe with Carla Bruni, as well as with the French National Jazz Orchestra.

Perry Blake has published the children's book 'Gatos em Lissadell', as part of a collection by 12 authors, including former U.S president Jimmy Carter, Will Smith and Julie Andrews. He also has a separate collaborative music project with Glenn Garrett and Graham Murphy, called Electro Sensitive Behaviour.

'Death of a Society Girl' is now available exclusively for download via Bandcamp - this edition includes three bonus remixes by UK electronic artists KosmetiQ and Inertia. On July 5, the album will be released on CD and digitally everywhere else, including Apple Music and Spotify

A SHORELINE DREAM share 'Hollow Crown' feat. RIDE's MARK GARDENER ahead of 'Whitelined' album (out July 19)

"Delicate curves and beauty... a glorious dawn" PopMatters

"One of the leading lights of the neo-shoegaze movement" DKFM

"Shadowy and storming dreaminess" Stereo Embers Magazine

"A Shoreline Dream and Mark Gardener open the gate to a garden of sonic enchantment built on trance-inducing spine-tinglingly magnificence... a masterpiece – dare we call it an instant classic for lovers of post-punk, dream-rock and shoegaze" ~ Spill Magazine
 

Iconic Colorado-based postpunk-shoegaze outfit A Shoreline Dream release their eighth album 'Whitelined' on July 19. Ahead of this, they preview the infectious upbeat track 'Hollow Crown', the second collaboration with Ride frontman Mark Gardener from this record.
 
On 'Whitelined', Gardener, together with founding producer and vocalist Ryan Policky and long-standing collaborator Erik Jeffries, have synergized forces to craft a record where shimmering walls of sound wash of turbulent percussion and swooning vocals to weave an otherworldly sonic reality.   

Formed in 2005, A Shoreline Dream has churned out numerous releases under their own label Latenight Weeknight Records, carving a unique path that has produced a treasure trove of music that continues to inspire and captivate listeners.

A Shoreline Dream recently shared the lead single 'Everything Turns' featuring Mark Gardener on vocals, but also as co-writer and co-producer. With three of the album's tracks being collaborations with the Ride frontman, this marks the fifth time the band has worked with UK music legends. Ulrich Schnauss, Engineers, Chapterhouse and Rocket Girl Records have all been a part of the ASD family at one point or another.

Policky and Jeffries first met Gardener at a Ride show in Denver on Policky’s birthday. “Right after seriously one of the best shows in recent memory, we threw around the idea of collaborating” says Ryan Policky. They worked together for the remainder of 2023, wrapping things up near the one-year mark. “It was such an amazing collab. Mark was super open stylistically and the ideas flowed. I think we created something neither of us were fully expecting.”

iTunes  https://itunes.apple.com/album/id/1742404415

The idea of every beautiful thing having a completely alternate reality is a driving force behind the words and stories on the album. The music and dynamics were all created on the fly, with only about 60% of what was recorded making the final cut. “The flow was super important and we finally landed on a set of songs we feel represent so much of the current A Shoreline Dream vibe,” says Policky.

Gardener shares, “It was great and one of those life-fate meant-to-be chances to connect with Ryan and A Shoreline Dream. Ryan sent a good few tracks through to me from Denver to my Ox4 Sound Studio in Oxfordshire and the first backing track I totally connected with was to become 'Everything Turns'. Lyrically, it’s a reflection on how technology is taking over and, the more connected we get with it, the more alone we can find ourselves in the real World.  The backing track was special and the chemistry really happened with this track. It was a joy to ride these sonic waves with Ryan throughout the whole creative process. IN the end “Everything Turns!"

'Whitelined' will be the first A Shoreline Drive album released as a vinyl LP, fittingly on 180-gram white vinyl. Mark Kramer (Urge Overkill, Bongwater, Shimmy Records) oversaw mastering and the record's preparation for direct-to-vinyl production.  The album art is based off a photo taken by Policky at Yellowstone in 2008, and re-worked into an oil on photo on canvas.
 
Refining their sound since their 2014 album 'The Silent Sunrise', A Shoreline Dream has been constantly reinventing themselves. 2020's 'Melting' found Policky gain creative strength and determination from events around him and abroad to create the most refined and heartfelt music ASD has ever produced. In 2022 brought their sixth album, the critically acclaimed 'Loveblind'.

On July 19, the album will be released as a limited edition on 180g white vinyland digitally everywhere, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp, where 'Everything Turns' can already be downloaded.

Morgan Wallen: 'One Night At A Time 2024' @ Neyland Stadium, Sunday, Sept. 22

It’s no secret that 11-time Billboard Music Award-winner Morgan Wallen has remained loyal to his Tennessee roots throughout his career. Growing up in Sneedville, Tennessee, before moving to Knoxville as a teenager, Wallen’s affinity for the University of Tennessee Vols has inspired hits such as “Tennessee Fan” and “Had Me By Halftime,” while he continues to cheer on his favorite team between tour stops. 
 
Now Wallen, celebrated by Philadelphia Inquirer as a “savvy showman,” is bookending his Pollstar and Billboard-awarded Country Tour of the Year, One Night At A Time, with a show he’s always wanted to headline: Neyland Stadium. Produced by Live Nation, on Sunday, Sept. 22, Wallen will be joined by special guests HARDY and fellow Tennessee-native ERNEST with tickets going on-sale at 11 AM EST this Wednesday, July 17. Available at MorganWallen.com.
 
“I’ve had the honor of playing in a lot of college, MLB and NFL stadiums the past two years, but getting to play to my hometown at Neyland Stadium, nothing tops this for a boy from East Tennessee,” shares Wallen, who reactivated his Instagram this morning to share the news.
 
Fans can also purchase VIP Packages, which may include premium tickets, guided backstage tour, group photo on the stage, invitation to the Morgan Wallen VIP Lounge, VIP-exclusive gift item and more. VIP package contents vary based on the offer selected. For more information, visit vipnation.com.
 
Wallen recently returned stateside following his BST Hyde Park London headlining debut alongside openers Riley Green, ERNEST, Ella Langley, Alana Springsteen, Zandi Holup and more. Becoming the largest country concert ever held in the U.K. with over 50,000 attendees, Wallen’s performance left The Times noting “America’s biggest country star charms Hyde Park” as Billboard added Wallen established himself “as a key figure in heightening country music’s global reach.”
 
While in the U.K., Wallen also released fan-favorite “Lies Lies Lies” after originally recording it at London’s Abbey Road Studios for his digital series Abbey Road Sessions on Dec. 5, 2023. With Music Row critic Robert Oermann declaring it a “lovelorn lament,” Billboard opined “the angst-fueled ballad offers a vessel for the soulful nuances in Wallen’s Tennessee twang.”
 
With a portion of every ticket purchased to his live shows benefiting The Morgan Wallen Foundation (MWF), the nonprofit recently donated $100,000 to the community of Jefferson City to improve and renovate two local baseball fields. With $80,000 going toward Roy Harmon Field via the City Parks Department and $20,000 toward New Market Field via Jefferson City Little League, the renovations include new infields, bases, dug outs, press boxes, backstop padding, fencing and more. Read more HERE.
 
With just ten dates remaining on One Night At A Time in the U.S., Wallen will kick-off his first-ever European tour on Aug. 28 in Stockholm, Sweden. The seven show run will include additional stops in Copenhagen, Denmark; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Glasgow, U.K. and more before concluding with two back-to-back nights in Dublin, Ireland.

Singer/Songwriter Katie Kadan Releases New Empowerment Anthem "Without You"

With one of the boldest, brashest, turn-your-day-around vocals in music, you might think singer/songwriter Katie Kadan has always had the self-confident strut her tunes inspire. In fact, her truth is the opposite – but things have turned around.
 
After enduring the pandemic and moving to Nashville, careful creative growth has led to a brand-new chapter for the emerging star. Her just released new track, “Without You,” is giving fans a first taste of what to expect from her debut EP set for release later this year. Listen to “Without You” HERE. Watch the video below
 
Written by Kadan with Thomas “Tawgs” Salter and Johnny Reid who also serves as producer, the song of empowerment asks listeners to let go of the hang ups holding many women back. Pairing a rich swagger and almost-spiritual self-confidence with a propulsive rhythm and stadium-sized vocal, the Chicago-native calls it her “women's anthem” – a much needed message of freedom.

“For women, sometimes our relationships hold us back,” Kadan explains. “You feel like you have to be that sweet little lovely lady in the background. And with this song, it's like, ‘Hey, I'm going to move forward. You can come along with me on this journey, or not, but I'm going to keep on going.’”
 
A classically-inspired soul diva for a brand-new age, sharing her growth toward self-respect through the empowering joy of music has become Kadan’s calling – her sense of purpose. A born entertainer and the youngest of four in a church-centered, deeply-musical family, it took Kadan her whole life to find her purpose. But now that she has, it seems almost inevitable. 
 
Praising her “big, loud family,” the vocal phenom learned to harmonize as soon as she could talk and delivered her first performance in front of her church congregation at 3 years old. Homeschooled by a songwriting mother who loved the ‘60s folk revival, and with a father who’s taste kept Otis Redding, James Brown and the giants of soul on repeat, music was embedded in Kadan’s daily life – so deep that when she couldn’t concentrate on her studies, the fix was to play some piano and quiet her mind. 
 
Obviously talented, her parents helped a teenaged Kadan join one of Chicago’s top choirs, and they even scraped enough money together to send her to conservatory. But feeling like she had no shot at a career, she dropped out, taking odd jobs and teaching vocal lessons instead. “I was unhappy,” she admits now. “That's not what I wanted to do, but I had no idea how to get into the music business. And honestly, I didn't think I would have a place … because I'm a fat lady.”
 
Needing some joy in her life, Kadan knew where to turn. She found her way to the female owned and operated Underground Wonder Bar and got herself a life-changing gig. Thrilling local crowds with her dynamic voice – an explosive, all-natural mix of raspy soul and gospel power – she made a point to go her own way, performing original songs right from her first night … and people took notice. A producer from NBC’s The Voice soon got in touch, but still feeling unworthy, Kadan turned them down.
 
“I didn't want to do it. I thought, it's kind of a sellout,” she says with a laugh. “I was going to go back to school actually, because I was tired of the hustle. I was going to go for psychology, and I'm like, ‘Music to me is the healer. And if I can't be a singer, I’ve got to help people in a different way.’”
 
Eventually, though, Kadan changed her mind. Determined to give herself just one chance – and feeling like she had nothing to lose – she showed up for The Voice and stood out immediately, taking third place on Season 17 in 2019. Impressing judges and fans alike with her big style, big voice, and ability to leave her heart on the stage each night, Kadan’s joyful personality and clear comfort in her own skin tore through countless stereotypes. She became an inspiration to millions. 
 
“Without You” is the first of new music Kadan has planned for release this year. For more information and to stay updated on the latest news and tour dates, visit katiekadan.com and follow along on Instagram @KatieKadanOfficial and @KatieKadan on FacebookTwitter and TikTok

Introducing Chained Saint + Band Shares Video for William DuVall-Produced Debut Single "Animosity" —

Born in a South Florida garage back in the summer of 2022, Chained Saint's forthcoming debut album, Blindside, combines the raw, organic riffery of the best old-school '80s thrash metal with a dash of modern-day brutality befitting the many challenges confronting the youth of 2024. The past and present collide, resulting in modern, metallic maelstrom made by a bunch of kids who play with fire in their veins — and their hands!

Comprised of four high school students — Ethan Kahn (17, guitar), Sebastian De Avila (18, bass), Cameron Cottrell (19, drums) and Sean Sterling (18, vocals) — Chained Saint represent the latest generation pushing back with justifiable fury against the harsh realities of an unforgiving world. 

Today, they share the video for their debut single "Animosity." Watch it below.

"We are super hyped to release our debut single, 'Animosity,' and thrilled for the world to hear our music finally. We're also beyond grateful for everyone involved with the launch. We wouldn't have picked another song to mark the beginning of our journey as Chained Saint."

Blindside, produced by William DuVall of Alice In Chains, focuses that fury into a powerfully concise, eight-song LP. The album was recorded and mixed to analog tape with no computers involved whatsoever in the recording sessions. No AI. No studio trickery. No bullshit. Just real riffs made by real players. 

The end result is a ferocious set of performances that maintain the essential "tight-but-loose" naturalness of four musicians bashing it out in the same room together — a quality too often lacking in today’s digitally-driven musical landscape. 

Blindside arrives in late August 2024 via Patriark Records

Fame On Fire Announce New Album "The Death Card" + Band Shares Live Video of Hit Single "Nightmare (The Devil)"

Fame on Fire — singer Bryan Kuznitz, Blake Saul (guitarist), Paul Spirou(bass), and Alex Roman (drums) — have announced their new album The Death Card. It arrives September 6 on Hopeless Records. Pre-order it here

The band roared into 2024 with the new single "Nightmare (The Devil)." This venomous track was just the first taste of what the band has been working on and is #15 at Active Rock Radio. It also enjoyed a viral moment over on TikTok, racking up a whopping 50 million views/streams. Watch the video Below

Today, the band has shared a live video for the song, which was filmed during their Spring 2024 tour with SiM. Watch it here and allow yourself to be transported to a FoF show!

"In tarot, 'The Death Card' is about closing one door and stepping into the next," says Kuznitz about the album. "You're killing your past and moving on to the future, which is usually better. The idea started because of this card. We were leaving a lot of mistakes behind and embarking on the next chapter. There's a sense of salvation. For us, this is the new era of Fame on Fire."

Fame on Fire have also shared the new single "Suicide (The Lovers)." Listen here.

The latest single employs all the drama of a classic tragedy. Cinematic keys and hooks live alongside an ominous spoken-word on the bridge: "Dear beloved we are here today in the final resting place to seal their fate."

"It's a Romeo & Juliet-style story," Kuznitz reveals. "The sentiment is 'If I'm going to love you, I'm going to die for it, and I'm okay with that.' With 'The Lovers Card,' you're sacrificing your life to make a relationship work."

Tarot cards might give perspective, soothe the uncertainty of mental health, or simply enable you to make better sense of your life. Fame on Fire use music in much the same way. The Florida quartet process frustrations, fears, and feelings with a malleable musicality, matching emotions to moments of precise hard rock, piano-laden melody, manic electronics, and relatable pop catharsis. After generating over 100 million streams, packing shows, and earning acclaim, the band ponder fate and the future on their third full-length offering, The Death Card [Hopeless Records].

The band initially materialized out of South Florida with a distinct and dynamic vision. Following a series of inventive and innovative viral covers, they served up the original Transitions EP in 2017. They maintained their momentum with 2020's LEVELS. "Her Eyes" gathered over 15.5 million Spotify streams followed by "HEADSPACE" [feat. POORSTACY] with 13.1 million Spotify streams. Welcome to the Chaos saw them ascend yet again fueled by the likes of "Plastic Heart" and "Welcome to the Chaos" [feat. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills]. The latter vaulted into the Top 15 at Rock Radio. The band also toured alongside Falling In Reverse, Ice Nine Kills, and ONE OK ROCK. In between selling out headline gigs, the guys decamped to Los Angeles in order to record Death Card with producer Erik Ron [Godsmack, Motionless In White, Panic! At The Disco]. "This was our first time working with a producer," recalls Bryan. "Erik kept us on track, and he pushed me as a lyricist and songwriter to make everything cohesive." Threading this body of work together even tighter, each song corresponds to its own tarot card.

Fame on Fire will return to the road this fall, supporting Wage War. All dates are below.
