SOM Announce New Album "Let The Light In" + Share Video For New Single "Give Blood"

SOM have announced the release of their third full-length album, Let The Light In, on March 14 through Berlin-based, left-field label Pelagic Records.

With a unique sound dubbed "Doom Pop" by Metal Injection, SOM's dreamy shoegaze roots are on display across Let The Light In but there is heft at its core that is bracing and ferocious. If the band's debut album The Fall explored hitting rock bottom and sophomore release The Shape of Everything grappled with the ever-darkening world around us, Let The Light In sees SOM turn their sights inward, towards our most primal impulses: Seeking solace and reconciliation from the vibrancy within ourselves and the people we hold close. 

Adversity became the catalyst for change when, due to unforeseen circumstances, the band's founding drummer left midway through the album's writing and recording process. SOM took the remainder of 2023 to reshape and refocus, eventually re-recording most of the album in a new configuration that allowed them to paint in even broader sonic strokes. The result is a raw but richly melodic album unafraid to travel through the depths of human emotion, ultimately guiding us towards growth and enlightenment.

Serving as a reinvigorated statement of intent, lead single "Give Blood" unleashes a barrage of post-metal, high gain distortion and pummeling drums before opening up into a panoramic, cloudbusting chorus that sees duelling guitars and vocalist Will Benoit's tender-yet-commanding voice freely intertwined, spiralling ever upwards.

To accompany this brand new song, SOM have unveiled a music video with a particularly cinematic feel, directed by Alex Pace (Blood Incantation, Wayfarer, Abrams). The video features an anonymous couple in a series of intense, dreamlike shots crossed by swirls of light. But abruptly, a darker side appears, counterbalancing this idyll. A sumptuous video that seems to invite viewers to make their own interpretation of it.

Watch the video below:

"It's a sort of post-pandemic reflection on kindness and how we treat one another," says Benoit. "The idea came while I was laying on a table, actually giving blood. It occurred to me how kind someone would have to be to be doing this during a pandemic. I started to think about how many people were doing awful things at that time, spreading misinformation, and just generally being horrible people in society. I continue to want to do everything I can to not be that person, I want to be the kind of person who 'gives blood.'"

Since 2019, SOM have toured extensively across North America, Europe and the UK alongside acts including Katatonia, Solstafir, Slow Crush, and many more. This relentless live commitment across 21 countries, coupled with 2023's introspective restructuring, has profoundly altered their creative approach. 

As they began working on this new material, the members of SOM found themselves in a fresh headspace, armed with a newfound, hard-earned maturity. Let The Light In is SOM's testament to resilience and evolution. Born from challenge and change, the album pulses with confidence and catharsis, imploring the listener and the band themselves to traverse the darkness and find the light.

Let The Light In is released on the March 14.

"Give Blood" is out now

STORACE Announce 'Live And Let Live' Album Reissue - Special Edition with Bonus Live Album Out December 13, 2024 via Frontiers Music Srl

Swiss rock legend Marc Storace’s band STORACE announces the reissue of their first record 'Live And Let Live,' in a special edition including a bonus live album, out on December 13, 2024, via Frontiers Music Srl.

The first single, “Lady Of The Night” and the accompanying visualizer, are also available now.

Marc Storace describes the theme of the new single, by saying:

 “For this song, I was inspired by the Victorian story of 'The Lady With The Lamp,' or Florence Nightingale, a brave volunteer nurse who, against all odds, improved the horrific sanitary conditions to stop wounded soldiers from dying in hospital during the Crimean War of 1854.”

“'Lady Of The Night' pays tribute to the brave and selfless nurses who fought very hard to save the lives of countless victims of the coronavirus during the recent world epidemic!”, adds Storace.

Talking about the album release, Storace comments:

 “Krokus had stopped to exist because of Covid and no one really knew what the outcome of the pandemic would be, so not wasting time I started working on a solo album! 'Live And Let Live' is rich in melodic vocals, colourful riffs, great guitar solos, many hooks and a solid driving rhythm section!!”

Watch the Visualizer for "Lady of the Night"

 “During the past three intensive years playing throughout Switzerland we recorded many gigs and the live album features the best of the crop, highlighting songs we recorded during hot performances in Zürich’s Hallenstadion as special guests of KISS, and The Scorpions, and whilst sharing the famous 'Rock The Ring Festival' stage with Alice Cooper and his notorious band.

“Included on the setlist are songs from Krokus which we never play, like 'Midnite Maniac' and 'To The Top'; also a beefed up version of 'Telephone Man' from my late seventies London band Eazy Money”, he continues.

'Live And Let Live' is STORACE’s first official solo album. It was recorded during the 2021 lockdown of the Covid pandemic and was produced by Cyrill Camenzind and Massimo Buonanno at Powerplay Studios, near Zürich.

Cyrill, Massi, and Marc composed some of the songs together, and they played on the album which also features the talented musicians Marco Blöchlinger on bass, Christian Roffler on keys, Jean Pierre Von Dach on lead guitar, and Gee K, Micha Dettwyler and Céline Haleson backing vocals.

'Live And Let Live' was officially released in Switzerland on December 18, 2021, during a gig at the legendary Music-Club outside Bern called the “Mühle Hunziken." It was performed by the studio band, all except J.P. Von Dach, who had been replaced by Turi Wicki due to his heavy touring commitments with Joss Stone.

Lovella Unveils Heartfelt New EP: Our Christmas Prayer ​

Emerging musical duo Lovella, composed of Josh and Merisa, are spreading holiday cheer with the release of their beautifully crafted EP, Our Christmas Prayer. This collection of timeless Christmas classics showcases the duo's angelic harmonies and heartfelt interpretations, making it the perfect soundtrack for the holiday season. The EP is available now through TLG, distributed by Virgin Music Group.

Reflecting on their journey as artists and partners, Josh and Merisa shared:

“When we got together there was this instantaneous connection that neither one of us expected to find and when we first started hanging out it was like we had been friends for years. We started Lovella a little after we started dating and quickly noticed that becoming a duo went hand in hand with starting a new relationship. We had to build trust, a respect for each other’s creative voices, allow ourselves to be vulnerable, to laugh at ourselves and at each other, to cry, allow each other to be mad and not take it personally and to appreciate how passionate we are about the music we create. Being a duo has had its own set of growing pains but experiencing and navigating these two relationships simultaneously has made both relationships stronger. That is the heart of our music. It is everything we’ve experienced; it is everything our families and friends have experienced. Our songs allow us to relive a moment and we love sharing that with you and hopefully no matter where someone is in their life, our music, our stories will resonate with all of you listening.“

 STREAM "Our Christmas Prayer"

For Josh and Merisa, the holidays hold a special significance. They explain:

"Since we've been together, like any couple you carry old traditions into your relationship and make new ones. Our special tradition together is singing Christmas songs! Singing these timeless hymns fills our hearts and always makes us feel a little closer with God during the holiday! We wanted to share a few of our favorites with you! Thank you for listening to us lend our voices to these Christmas classics! We hope you, your friends and family have the most beautiful holiday!"

Blacktoothed Drops New Video

Blacktoothed have released their brand new single "Antidote." Watch the video below.

It's an atmospheric, melancholic track that captures the calm and the ensuing emotional storm both musically and visually in the accompanying music video (by Peter Leukhardt): A temporary inner emptiness that leads to the hope of escaping this familiar cycle sooner or later. With their unmistakable blend of melancholy depth and rousing sound, the band delivers another impressive foretaste of their upcoming album HEADWAY, which will be released on January 24.

"It would be too nice if there was simply an antidote for low moods. I think we've all wished for that at some point," comments guitarist and songwriter Matti. 

"Antidote" was created in collaboration with the producer team Julian Breucker and Christoph Wieczorek.

Mavis Drops New Video

MAVIS are back with a powerhous single, "DNA," diving headfirst into raw, new territory for the German metalcore ambassadors. Once again teaming up with Manuel Renner at Überlärm Studios, MAVIS have crafted a sound that’s both crushing and exhilarating, pushing their own boundaries to reach new levels of intensity and depth.

Watch the video below.

Stream the song here.

Following last year's debut album, Grief Is No Ally, "DNA" kicks off a bold new era for the band — one marked by relentless growth, packed shows across Germany, and standout performances at top festivals like Summer Breeze Open Air. This new release taps into the band's evolving style and success as they continue to make waves in Germany's metal scene, capturing a darker, more profound essence that reflects their journey and transformation.

With "DNA," frontman Phil Donay explores new vocal territory, incorporating heavier, lower screams that enhance the song's raw emotion. His lyrics tell the story of a mystical entity that learns to overcome its fears through a transformative journey — embracing darkness and reshaping itself, ultimately embodying confidence and newfound power.

MAVIS ARE:
Phil Donay — Vocals
Manu Weller — Guitar

HAREM SCAREM

With the first two albums ('Harem Scarem' of 1991 and 'Mood Swings' of 1993) being the key to bringing these Canadian rockers to the attention of the worldwide audience, Harem Scaremkept on delivering high-quality music throughout the years, and the latest releases: 'Thirteen', 'United' and 'Change the World' are shining examples of it.

Tour after tour, the band has been able to build up a solid and passionate fan base. They will bring on stage - once again - their unique class and musicianship for a show that is expected to be no less than stellar!

MIKE TRAMP’S WHITE LION

Mike Tramp’s name became prominent in the music world with White Lion, starting in 1983. The band enjoyed a huge success worldwide thanks to four beautiful albums until they disbanded in 1992.

After a 4-year time spent with Freak Of Nature, Tramp kicked off his solo career in 1997. Since 2009, Mike Tramp has released nine studio albums, playing live, both as an acoustic solo artist and with a backing band, with no plans of slowing down anytime soon.

The singer/guitarist decided to start a new chapter in his career, re-imagining and re-recording select cuts from White Lion's catalog, bringing this experience live on stage. You’ll be led on an exciting journey through some real classics of the ‘80s and ’90s!

STORACE

Following the decision of Krokus (his band for 40 years!) to stop recording new music and limit their live appearances in 2018, rock legend Marc Storace returned to the scene in 2021, with his solo album 'Live And Let Live.'

Since May 2022, Marc has been performing with his new band and he spent 2023 and 2024 writing and producing the new album 'Crossfire,' a monster piece of Hard Rock, with songwriting shared between Storace, guitar-player Tommy Henriksen (Alice Cooper band) and drummer Pat Aeby (Krokus, Gotus).

TREAT

Building on the great success of their last albums (2010's 'Coup de Grace', 2016's 'Ghost Of Graceland', 2018's 'Tunguska', and 2022's 'The Endgame'), released after the band’s reunion in 2006, TREAT is still considered one of the best Melodic Hard Rock bands coming out of Europe as well as a fantastic live-act!

Their style of heavenly melodies, seductive arrangements, and impressive songwriting has the band truly at the top of the genre and always favorites for fans of the whole genre.

FM

FM is well known by all the fans of the genre for their big choruses, twin lead guitars and Steve Overland’s intimate, yet powerful vocals, and clean guitar sound!

THE BIG DEAL

Coming from Serbia, THE BIG DEAL is a unique band in the melodic hard rock genre, as it features two outstanding vocalists, Ana Nikolic and Nevena Brankovic (who is also a highly skilled keyboard/piano player), along with the other three musicians.

Offering a catchy, driving yet powerful sound that is meant to appeal to both, melodic rock and hard rock fans, sound, look, explosive stage presence… they have everything, and they are ready to bring their brilliant musical offer (including some songs taken from the upcoming album 'Electrified') to the FRONTIERS ROCK FESTIVAL audience!

CASSIDY PARIS

At 21 years old, she has already released two sold-out EPs ('Broken Hearted' & 'Flirt'), performed multiple live shows all over her home country, and released her debut album, 'New Sensation,' with 11 tracks of energetic modern rock music.

Raised on classic hard rock and inspired by female rockers such as Lzzy Hale, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, and Avril Lavigne, the fiercely determined young woman met singer/songwriter Paul Laine (Danger Danger, The Defiants) at the age of 11 (!) and he helped her to develop her style and songwriting.

Having already performed in America, the U.K., and Japan, CASSIDY PARIS can’t wait to play Italy for the very first time!

Pete International Airport releases 'Sea of Eyes' EP feat. Alexander Hackett, Ride's Andy Bell, Holy Youth Movement & more

Pete International Airport presents their new 'Sea of Eyes' EP (aka 'The Lamplighters' EP) released via Portland-based label Little Cloud Records. This release comes hot on the trail the latest offering - the 'Sea of Eyes' GLOK Remix' by Ride legend Andy Bell.

Pete International Airport revolves around Peter G. Holmström of The Dandy Warhols and Sun Atoms, whose sonic odyssey through the dark underbelly of electronic rock invites listeners into a world of unexpected soundscapes, meticulously crafted to captivate the senses. PIA builds immersive and timeless soundscapes, in part owing to Holmström’s ability to curate and his penchant for dropping collaborators into challenging creative spaces - both virtual and actual - then letting them duke it out.

Earlier, PIA shared the original version of 'Sea of Eyes' featuring vocals by Alexander Hackett of Montreal dream-gaze outfit Pang Attack, along with an intriguing video by Italian director Francesca Bonci, and, most recently, the rave-inspired adrenaline-inducing 'Out Past The Razor Wire (HYM Post-Industrial Remix)' by long-term collaborator Holy Youth Movement.

The 5-track 'Sea of Eyes' EP was co-authored with and features vocals by Alexander Hackett. Apart from the remix by Andy Bell, the remixes created by Tom Smith (Holy Youth Movement) and long-time collaborator Daniel Sparks (omniscuro) entail a sonic whirlwind of excitement, which would have fit perfectly in such dynamic soundtracks as 'Hackers' or 'Snatch'.

“I really wanted to showcase Alexander Hackett’s vocal contributions to the record. There’s just this insane depth to his lyrics, and his voice is fantastic. The way the initial rollout of the album happened his songs weren’t the singles… I needed to do something to put that out there, and because I’m gonna be working with him in the future, it was something I wanted to do. It also was an excuse to reach out to Andy Bell and see if he’d do a remix and get some other friends involved," says Holmström.

“I always love hearing other people’s interpretations of the tracks and what their ears latch onto and where they take the track from there."

Mixed by Jeremy Sherrer at Spooky Electric Co. (Modest Mouse, The Shins, The Dandy Warhols) and mastered by Dave Coley at Elysian Mastering, most tracks were recorded at Air Traffic Control studio, and drums at The Trench Studios by The Dandy Warhols' sound engineer Gregg Williams.

The 'Sea of Eyes' EP is a logical progression of 'It Felt Like The End of the World' and the 'Tic Tac' 7" single, which boast the cream of the neo-psychedelic crop, including Slowdive's Rachel Goswell, BJM's Anton Newcombe, Dion Lunadon (A Place To Bury Strangers), Cheap Trick's Tom Petersson, Dark Horses'  Lisa Elle, and members of Sun Atoms, Guiding Light and Hopewell.

On November 29, the 'Sea of Eyes' EP will be released on limited edition cassette and digitally via Spotify, Apple Music. and Bandcamp, where PIA's album 'It Felt Like The End of the World' is also available on deluxe double vinyl, CD and digitally and their 'Tic Tac' single with Rachel Goswell. can also be obtained on 7" vinyl.

"OVER AND OVER" delves into the painful intricacies of a toxic relationship, where boundaries were sacrificed and self-worth was challenged. Echos reflects, "This song is about the struggle of continually giving in and losing myself in the process. It’s about finally learning to stand up for myself and choosing healing over pain." 

This single encapsulates the overarching narrative of her upcoming album, serving as a poignant exploration of trauma, resilience, and self-discovery. "This album is my most cherished work yet. It's a testament to my journey toward healing and reclaiming my voice," she shares.

The tracks follow the previously released "CAROUSEL," the vulnerable "PAPERCUTS," and the cathartic "BRUISES,"  all of which were released with their own music videos creative directed by Echos, and have garnered over 1M global streams and rising, as well as a sizable placement on the hit show Love Island.

QUIET, IN YOUR SERVICE marks a bold new chapter for Echos. Listeners can expect an album filled with poignant narratives, rich instrumentation, and a profound sense of catharsis that echoes her healing journey.

Philadelpia's Tulipomania presents 'Absolution' LP & 'I've Been Told' video. New album released in lock-step with best-selling author Jeff VanderMeer

Philadelphia-based art-rock duo Tulipomania present their sixth album 'Absolution', inspired by an invitation from acclaimed author Jeff VanderMeer to contribute music as part of the publication of his latest novel 'Absolution', the surprise fourth volume in his award-winning 'Southern Reach' series.

This soundscape resonates with the complex energies enveloping VanderMeer’s novel, the author having invited the duo to create music inspired by 'Absolution' while still a work in progress. Hearing that VanderMeer took inspiration for the 'Absolution' novel from their 'Dreaming of Sleep' album, the duo enthusiastically accepted the challenge.

Alternately categorized as cult synth punks, glam-leaning, post-punk, art-rock and muscular chamber pop, Tulipomania is Tom Murray (lead vocals, synthesizer, electronic percussion) and Cheryl Gelover (synthesizer, background vocals). The 'Absolution' album includes four new tracks inspired by VanderMeer's new novel, plus ten alternate versions of the songs that originally sparked VanderMeer’s interest, reimagined as a cohesive sonic experience.

It's an exciting development for the duo to be involved in the Southern Reach Trilogy, with 'Absolution' being the brilliant, beautiful and terrifying final word on one of the most provocative and popular speculative fiction series of our time. An instant sensation, it has been celebrated by the New York Times, Stephen King and many others. With each volume climbing the bestsellers list, accruing awards, it was ultimately adapted in a movie - now a cult classic. The trilogy has now sold more than a million copies, securing its place in the pantheon of 21st century literature.

In the liner notes to the album, Jeff VanderMeer shares, "I remember being in the middle of the ecstatic visions that formed my novel 'Absolution' and discovering Tulipomania's music for the first time, around August of 2023 - this very album's doppelganger, in fact. The original mix of 'Dreaming of Sleep'. It felt like a revelation - hypnotic, pulsing music that got deep hooks into my brain, so I couldn't stop listening to the songs. Like a lighthouse's roving light, the songs felt like a beacon, and the recursive nature of the composition, the sense of a beating heart, a thick muscle at the core of them, combined with the surreal lyrics got deep into the novel's DNA. ... So I was really pleased that this opportunity for this wonderful contamination of (novel / album) to go the other way - the Absolution remix of 'Dreaming of Sleep', with four new Absolution tracks! I really love this band so much - to the point I've listened to and recommend their entire back catalogue - that it's an honor."

A sign of serendipity, the cover for this album was created by acclaimed artist Pablo Delcan, who also produced the artwork for the 10th anniversary editions of the Southern Reach Trilogy.

“It is a thrill to know that our music and lyrics were an inspiration for Jeff VanderMeer while he was working on his latest novel Absolution," says Tom Murray.

Cheryl Gelover adds, “Having the author crowned the ‘weird Thoreau’ entrust us with early versions of his newest novel Absolution was enormously enticing – knowing that he believed we could return with him to the world of Area X for the purpose of a cross-pollination is very exciting. We’re so glad we emerged from the journey with alternate versions of the ten tracks that originally inspired him, as well as four entirely new songs directly inspired by our immersion in the Southern Reach series and the latest novel in the series - Absolution.  It is quite an honor to share a title on our new album with Jeff's latest.”

Tulipomania also shared the animated video for 'I've Been Told - Absolution', which VanderMeer praised. "The dreamlike immersion in imagery from the novel creates a hypnotic and perfect effect for both a beautiful dirge and surge of a song and the atmosphere for Absolution. Gorgeous and evocative".  Shot frame by frame, utilizing multiple processes, including thermal printing, to create layered textures, the video features stop-motion animated objects (some frames vibrantly hand-tinted) and glimpses of the duo singing the lyrics. This exploration of various states of disintegration, painstakingly assembling thousands of individual images, evokes Absolution’s themes of dissolution and disorientation.

Described as ‘artistic and inventive’ and ‘gorgeous', Tulipomania's animated music videos have been featured in film festivals worldwide, including the Leeds International Film Festival (UK), StopTrik (Croatia, Poland), AniFilm (Czech Republic) and Tallgrass International Film Festival (USA).

On ‘Absolution', Tulipomania is immersed fully in electronic means of creation, involving Executive Producer Howard Thompson, renowned as a record industry executive (Elektra, Island, Almo Sounds), credited for having discovered and / or worked with Adam and the Ants, Billy Bragg, MC5, Mötorhead, PiL, Psychedelic Furs, Robyn Hitchcock, The Sugarcubes and Suicide, among others.

As of November 29, the ‘Absolution' album is available on CD, vinyl and digitally via Sursumcorda Records. It will be released everywhere digitally, including via Bandcamp, Spotify and Apple Music.

US-Argentinian indie-pop duo AEROLINEA present debut album 'All We Need' & 'Nervous' video

Indie pop duo Aerolinea presents their 'All We Need' album, released via My Long Wknd Records. This debut eight-track offering also sees a guest appearance by Failure drummer Kellii Scott. With passionate tandem lyrics, intertwining guitars and rhythms that sometimes groove and sometimes surprise, Aerolinea crafts a sound designed for romantics and misfits, for late nights and strange places.

Aerolinea is made up of Argentinian artist Victoria Real and Eric Weissinger of Atlanta dream-gaze duo I Am a Rocketship - both songwriters, vocalists and multi-instrumentalists. This is the first time for either musician to collaborate with someone else in fulfilling all of these roles simultaneously.

What began in April 2023 with an Instagram message led to a year of file sharing and meet ups in Florida and Argentina. The two met the pandemic thanks to a chance meeting while performing for the NMER Music Festival (organised by No Me Escucho Records) - a spark that planted the seed for what is now Aerolinea.

The sharing - of feelings, sounds, lyrics, and roles - comes across in the way the songs move, straddling changing rhythms and intertwining guitar lines. At times the album ventures into art-rock territory, before arcing back into stripped-down grooves. This is an album driven by lyrics of love, longing, and dreams, Real's and Weissinger's voices blending and then separating, building tension and then bringing release.

Victoria Real honed her musical skills under the tutelage of King Crimson guitar legend Robert Fripp, first as a Guitar Craft student and later performing with the League of Crafty Guitarists. She has released four albums as a solo artist with a fifth album in production. In 2021, she received the “Artist Revelation Rock of the Year” award at the Cordoba Entertainment Awards (Premios CIEyA) and was nominated a “Artist of the Year” and “Rock Artist of the Year” in 2023 and 2024.

As half of I Am a Rocketship, Eric Weissinger has released five albums and an EP. Before that, he was bassist for Anne Richmond Boston (DB Recs). As bassist, guitarist and singer in various  projects, he has opened for numerous notable bands, including The Black Crowes, James, The Wedding Present, Cracker and Portastatic.

The duo also presents their new video for 'Nervous', about which Eric Weissinger says, ''Nervous' is a different way of describing feeling alone. We need connections, and when you’re missing a connection, you start to doubt yourself, and not feel complete. You worry. The song is more about the subject’s emotions, and you don’t know anything about who they miss."

Victoria Real adds, "Nervous is the feeling we wanted to express here. Like a hunch that something is out of place. We put music and lyrics to it to evoke that feeling and thereby also evoke instant relief when expressed and channeled in this song".

Earlier, Aerolinea shared their debut single 'What Moves You', a dreamy track that oscillates between minimalistic pensiveness and intense euphoria for a sonic journey that is worth the flight. Its dramatic video was directed by renowned cinematographer Nico Purdía.

As of November 28, the 'All We Need' album is available on fine digital platforms, including Bandcamp,  via My Long Wknd Records. Aerolinea will be touring Argentina, Chile and Brazil in the new year, kicking off at Buenos Aires' Bar Carnal on January 11.

Julien-K Announces New Single, New Band Member, and New Tour Dates for 2025! ​

Julien-K adds veteran touring powerhouse drummer Galen Waling as an official band member. Waling is known for his work in Lords Of Acid, PIG, and Left Spine Down.

Singer Ryan Shuck explained, “We work with so many creatives in our Julien-K extended family, we had always thought of the band as much bigger than just Amir, Fu, and I. It’s normal for us to work with different players, writers, producers in the course of doing what we do - and that won’t change. But as the band has become such a regular touring entity, Galen just fit so solidly into our live world that we started asking him to join us in the studio as well. It just seemed natural to make him an official band member”. 

The band begins an extensive 2025 tour schedule with the Colder Than Hell Tour featuring Vampires Everywhere & Priest, then joins Powerman 5000 though April, as well as, performing at the famous Rainbow Anniversary Festival on the Sunset Strip on April 13th. More tour dates TBA for Fall 2025. 

The bands latest dark techno-dystopian single “Static Whispers” from their upcoming album DRK|MODE drops Friday, Dec 13th to coincide with the bands last show of the year at Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood CA. Supporting Julien-K will be Grey Daze from Phoenix AZ.

August Burns Red Share Annual Holiday Cover + This Year It's "Waltz of the Flowers"

Grammy-nominated, Lancaster five-piece AUGUST BURNS RED — JB Brubaker [lead guitar], Brent Rambler [rhythm guitar], Matt Greiner [drums], Jake Luhrs [vocals], and Dustin Davidson [bass] — release an instrumental holiday cover song every year. This year, they've chosen the classical track "Waltz of the Flowers" from The Nutcracker by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and have given it quite the guitar-driven and metallic makeover.

Listen here.

"In keeping with our annual tradition, we are excited to reveal this year's August Burns Red holiday song," the band states. "We tackled the classical ballet 'Waltz of the Flowers,' taken from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker. It was so much fun adding our spin to the timeless melodies written by this legendary composer. Hope you like it and Happy Holidays!"

It follows the September release of "Exhumed," which was another slab of angry music for happy people, as is expected from the ABR faithful.

Also, the 2024 edition of the band's annual Christmas Burns Red extravaganza is set for December 13 and 14 at Freedom Hall at the Lancaster Country Convention Center in downtown Lancaster, PA. Tickets, VIP packages, and hotel packages will all be on sale immediately at this location, with discounted Black Friday ticket four-packs available on Friday, November 29.

The Devil Wears Prada, The Ghost Inside, Gideon, Boundaries, Bodysnatcher, and more are set to appear, making it a heavy holiday extravaganza.

ABOUT AUGUST BURNS RED:
August Burns Red is likely the only metal act ever described as "thrillingly empathetic" (Kerrang!). It's a testament to the ferocious band's ability to recognize and connect with the mixture of brokenness and hope found in their audience and within themselves. A hard-working collective with a shockingly stable lineup for the vast majority of their career, August Burns Red pour every ounce of themselves into their music. Atmospheric, riff-laden, aggressive bursts of controlled chaos, filled with shifting time signatures and tempos, deliver confessional, self-reflective, and authentic emotion.
 
Tour stops with Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, Parkway Drive, and Bring Me the Horizon; several major international hard rock festivals (Rock Am Ring, Download, and Aftershock, to name a few); and the Vans Warped Tour are among the destinations around the world to witness ABR's live prowess. Massive headlining treks celebrating 10-year anniversaries for Constellations and Leveler demonstrated the enduring relevance of the band’s catalog, nearly 20 years into ABR's storied career. 2020's Guardians debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hard Music, Rock Albums, and Vinyl Albums charts. 
 
Revolver, who put the band on their cover the same year, observed August Burns Red "embrace the pain so well." It's a truth never more evident than on Death Below, their stunning ninth studio album. Recorded with longtime producers Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland, Death Below encompasses all of the pissed-off strength of the band's past without sacrificing an ounce of catchy, melodic might. Death Below boasts guest appearances from ABR allies Jesse Leach (Killswitch Engage), Spencer Chamberlain (Underoath), Jason Richardson (All That Remains), and JT Cavey (ERRA). "It's getting difficult for the members of August Burns Red to keep one-upping themselves," marveled Billboard shortly before Guardians arrived. With Death Below, they emerge victorious again. 

CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX Premier New Cover Album

In light of the band's 20th anniversary, Crippled Black Phoenix are continuing their tradition of haunting homages. Horrific Honorifics Number Two (2) includes dark new covers that range from a faithfully fierce rendition of Fugazi's "Blueprint" to NoMeansNo, Deep Purple and Laura Branigan's Top 10 hit "Self Control". 

Horrific Honorifics Number Two (2) comes out this Friday, November 29 on Season of Mist, but you can hear all eight haunting covers today by listening to the full album stream on the Season of Mist YouTube channel.

In true CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX fashion, the Lucy Marshall-created Banefyre cover leaves plenty to the imagination, depicting four animals seated at a table — interacting and dressed like human beings. “It’s sort of like Planet of the Apes showing what animals could do to humans,” says Greaves. “The cover was specially commissioned and is unique to the album. It’s incorporating all the classic CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX elements with the love for animals and twisting the narrative around.”

CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX’s reputation was built on the back of their studio albums and live shows. The pandemic prevented the band from supporting Ellengæst, but it did provide them additional time to bring in new members to their live configuration.

“We’ve done one show since 2019,” says Greaves. “We are going to do something in Europe this year. Hopefully, we can get back on track. We’re also going to do something in the States — that’s not just talk, we’re actually going to do it. It’s well overdue. The live band is fucking amazing. We have the five of us and now we have Jordi [Farré] on drums, Paco [Fleischfresser] on synth and a really good friend of mine, Matt Crawford on bass.

“We did the Leipzig show and even though the rehearsals were better than the show itself, that lineup, our live band, is so good. Because we haven’t been under pressure to put a live band together since 2019 and spent so long talking to people, we’ve got a better band from those results. Out of disaster, we’ve got quite a good, positive thing.”

The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature & Horrific Honorifics Number Two(2) are a double album celebrating the 20 year existence of CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX.

Recorded in 2023 at:
Chapel Studios, Lincolnshire
Engineered by Pieter Rietkerk

Kapsylen Studio, Stockholm
