Zombie Metal Sensation DOMINUM Drops New Single “We Are Forlorn” + Video!

Zombie metal band DOMINUM unveils their new single, “We Are Forlorn”, offering the next taste of their upcoming second album, 'The Dead Don't Die,' out December 27, 2024 via Napalm Records! The album’s massive opening track invites the listener on a dark and dramatic journey, underlining the heavier metal influences that Dr. Dead and his Zombies introduce on their second full-length - contributing to an even more bombastic and darker sound than on their debut.           

“We Are Forlorn” sets the perfect tone for a sinister atmosphere to run shivers down one’s spine. It's accented by trenchant riffing, thundering drums and a matchless vocal performance by Dr. Dead. Together with a visually palpable official music video, “We Are Forlorn” marks a standout offering, yet only a preview for what’s to come when DOMINUM evoke the zombie apocalypse at the end of the year with 'The Dead Don't Die'!

Dr. Dead on the new single “We Are Forlorn”:

“Something wicked has awakened. My zombies are more dangerous, more terrifying, and filled with new power. But their transformation didn’t come easily – under the cloak of midnight, in a secret graveyard, a ritual of shadows took place. A single touch of the secret elixir, and they buried themselves anew... What happened next? You’ll have to see it for yourself.

“'We Are Forlorn'! A name that echoes darkness, but at its heart, it’s about standing together. 'We Are Forlorn'—yet we rise united."

Watch the Official Music Video for “We Are Forlorn” Below

DOMINUM on the upcoming album 'The Dead Don’t Die':

"Hey, living people. Exactly one year ago, our journey began, and now it’s time for a new chapter. In the darkest nights, I buried my fallen zombies and brought them back to life under the full moon. But the real story is still to come. Stay calm, stay close (forever—pun intended), and I’ll tell you everything soon. Just remember one thing: the dead don’t really die."

Yours,

Dr. Dead

 

DOMINUM entered the scene in 2023 with a blast and hit the top 20 of the Official German Album Charts immediately with their debut album, 'Hey Living People.'

Massive album opening track “We Are Forlorn” invites the listener on a dark and dramatic journey that continues full-speed on “One Of Us”. Irresistibly catchy “Don't Get Bitten By The Wrong Ones” features DOMINUM’s trademark eerie yet tongue-in-cheek lyrics, continuing straight from where the band left off with their first album. The monumental title track “The Dead Don’t Die” is another highlight of 'The Dead Don’t Die' - a clever take on a classic children’s lullaby leads into brilliantly dark storytelling, that heavy instrumentation and a multifaceted vocal performance take to the next level.

Feuerschwanz and dArtagnan mastermind Ben Metzner is featured in this song. In addition to the album’s 10 original tracks, DOMINUM continues delivering the exciting cover of Scorpions’ classic hit “Rock You Like A Hurricane.” Some formats come with the bonus CD 'Live at Graspop Metal Meeting 2024' which includes their acclaimed performance at Graspop 2024.

Get Your Copy of 'The Dead Don't Die' NOW

Since the release of the first album in December 2023, DOMINUM has played nearly sold-out tours supporting big names such as Bruce Dickinson, Avantasia, Feuerschwanz, and Peyton Parrish in Europe, as well as convincing international audiences at summer festivals such as Graspop and Rock Harz.

DOMINUM will kick off their first full headlining tour right in time for the release of 'The Dead Don’t Die,' bringing their new horror stories to life on stage for the first time, after supporting Feuerschwanz on the second leg of their Fegefeuer tour again.

Leading Rock and Metal Force AVANTASIA Reveals Catchy New Single “Creepshow”

Rock and metal flagship AVANTASIA will release their thrilling 10th studio album and Napalm Records debut, 'Here Be Dragons', on February 28, 2025, and today the band unleashes the energizing first new single “Creepshow”! The new track is one of the catchiest songs of AVANTASIA’s career so far, and it arrives with an exciting, cinematic music video. The guaranteed future hit rings in a new era of AVANTASIA and will be an integral part of AVANTASIA’s spectacular live shows.

In their 25 years of existence, AVANTASIA has become one of the biggest leading forces in metal, boasting nine successful previous albums (such as the #1 charting 'Moonglow'), worldwide sold-out arena tours and headline shows at all of the most important metal festivals. 'Here Be Dragons' is sure to exceed all expectations as the most powerful AVANTASIA album so far.

 

Tobias Sammet on the single and video:

"'Creepshow' is a perfect single. It’s short and catchy and it emphasizes a facet of my work that has taken a backseat in my music in recent years. It’s light-hearted and the opposite of melancholic. And it's fresh, boisterous, and unabashed - a straightforward kick-ass anthem. Also, even though it may seem like a reminiscence of my earlier writing, I think we managed to turn the whole thing into a trademark AVANTASIA tune, as we accentuated with the music video. We rented a haunted castle in North England and celebrated a night in the world of spectres and undead creatures. This is the most vibrant and eccentric music video I’ve ever shot in my entire career, not dead-serious, but certainly of serious quality! I can’t wait to play 'Creepshow' live on our tour next year, I can already see the whole venue jumping up and down and screaming along!”

Rock and metal flagship AVANTASIA returns with

thrilling 10th studio album, 'Here Be Dragons'!

 

Featuring absolute AVANTASIA essentials such as spellbinding choirs and theatrical symphonic metal elements, multitalented mastermind and frontman Tobias Sammet also surprises fans old and new with plenty of intriguing fresh soundscapes on 'Here Be Dragons.' The album gives the celebrated AVANTASIA sound that has been carefully crafted over a quarter of a century an exciting and powerful spin. The new album is the most consistent and concise piece of art that the band has ever crafted.

AVANTASIA is not showing any signs of slowing down - soon after the release of 'Here Be Dragons,' the band will head out on an extensive arena tour across Europe, promising to deliver fans an immersive experience with their biggest and most epic production ever.

In grand AVANTASIA tradition, the new full-length is rich in vivid storytelling and cinematic atmospheres, not to mention the highest level of musicianship. The incredible title track “Here Be Dragons” is a classic AVANTASIA song, and at almost nine minutes, is by far the longest on the album. The cinematic dark soundscapes of “The Witch” captivate and support the song’s storyline perfectly. Emotional, multifaceted vocal performances mesmerize on“Avalon”, while the heavy metal number “Against The Wind” serves as further proof of the versatility of AVANTASIA’s sound. Remaining well-balanced and cohesive, 'Here Be Dragons' is undeniably AVANTASIA’s most powerful album so far.

The 10-track offering was written and composed in its entirety by Tobias Sammet himself, produced and recorded by Tobias Sammet together with Sascha Paeth, mixed by Sascha Paeth and mastered by Michael Rodenberg. The stunning cover art was once again created by acclaimed British fantasy artist Rodney Matthews. 'Here Be Dragons' marks another masterpiece in the AVANTASIA catalog, leaving both fans and critics speechless and proving the band’s standing as a main force in the world of rock and metal! The album will be available in several different editions, with bonus albums included on select limited formats.

Swedish Hard Rockers S.O.R.M Unleash New Single "Scream"! ​    

Swedish hard rock sensation S.O.R.M has unleashed the standalone single, "Scream". This track marks the first release with new guitarist Patrik Sandström and showcases the band's eclectic blend of hard rock, heavy metal, and classic rock - S.O.R.M style!

"Scream is S.O.R.M’s first song written as a four-piece band. So it's Patrik's first recording with S.O.R.M," the band explains. "We are tired that us musicians can’t express ourselves with lyrics and music videos without being judged. So with “Scream” we stepped out of the box and wrote a song about Sex and being in control of your sexual needs. Writing music is a form of art. And like an artist that paints a portrait of two naked people having sex without being judged: Why can’t we musicians express ourselves the way we want?"

Listen to "Scream" HERE

Formed in 2017, S.O.R.M quickly made a name for themselves with the release of their outstanding "Hellraiser" EP (2020), which introduced the band to the world and captivated audiences with their infectious hooks right from the start. The band's 2023 debut album, "Under My Skin" (Noble Demon), further solidified their position in the hard rock scene, featuring guest appearances by legendary guitarists Doug Blair of W.A.S.P. and Nick Petrino of Dee Snider.

Blackened Death Metal Masters THULCANDRA Presents New Video Clip From Very First Live Album 'Live Demise,' Out This Friday On Napalm Records!

Blackened death metal masters THULCANDRA will release their first-ever live album, 'Live Demise,' that celebrates the first chapter and early days of the band!

'Live Demise' was recorded live in 2011 at a hometown show in Munich, Germany, and features true gems that the band hasn't performed in more than a decade, all with the original line-up consisting of Sebastian Ludwig, Tobias Ludwig, Matthias Landes (Dark Fortress, Noneuclid), and Steffen Kummerer (Obscura, Death, Cynic).

Following a video clip for the previously-released live version of "Fallen Angel's Dominion", today, THULCANDRA is premiering "Night Eternal (Live)"!

Band mastermind, Steffen Kummerer, comments:

"With 'Night Eternal' we present you the opening track of our debut album 'Fallen Angel’s Dominion' (2010), taken off our first ever live release 'Live Demise.' Tracked at a hometown show in Munich, Germany a decade ago, we celebrate the early days of the band in a raw and energetic setting, showcasing each member on fire. See you all on our upcoming European run with Sacramentum at a venue near you!"

The video clip for "Night Eternal (Live)" is now streaming HERE

THULCANDRA’s rise to power ignited when the four-piece unleashed their debut album, 'Fallen Angel’s Dominion', upon metaldom in 2010. Followed by their 2011 masterpiece, 'Under a Frozen Sun', 'Live Demise' contains brutal-as-hell classics from both records, like "Black Flags Of Hate", "In Blood And Fire" and "The Spirit Of The Night", aptly capturing the spirit and high-voltage energy of both the crowd and band. Ragers such as "Night Eternal" and "Fallen Angel's Dominion" perfectly showcase the band's raw and intense performances in their early days, and prove how THULCANDRA has quickly stepped up as one of the leading bands of their genre!

Due to the pandemic, which was subsequently followed by their latest studio album 'Hail The Abyss', 'Live Demise' could not be released alongside THULCANDRA's 20th anniversary as originally planned. Now, with mixing and mastering by Dan Swanö (Katatonia, Edge Of Sanity, Dissection) and cover artwork designed by Herbert Lochner, this very special release will become available in only strictly limited editions exclusively via Napalm Records and atTHULCANDRA's upcoming live shows - including their European co-headlining run with legendary Swedish black and death metal band Sacramentum with support from Nephylim. The tour begins January 2025; find all upcoming dates listed below!

Dorothy Shares "I Come Alive" Lyric Video — WATCH + LISTEN

The raven-haired rock star from Los Angeles, DOROTHY, continues to satiate her rabid fanbase with new music.

Today, she has shared the new track "I Come Alive." 

Watch the lyric video and listen below.

The song opens with Dorothy's powerhouse vocal, as she declares "I come alive"and takes the listener to church with power and soul. Her stadium-sized vocal performance will make even the finest hair on the back of your neck stand on end with all of its glory. Her voice is backed by buzzsaw riffs and an unforgettable groove.

Lyrically, the song has a motivating message — for both the artist and her fans!

"When I'm faced with the weight of the world and things feel like they're at their worst, I try to pause and let the turbulent emotions pass," the singer shares. "I try to take a good honest look at myself. I may have a bad day, week, or month…but then I get up and I face the fear and problems head on. I put my armor on and fight. The only way out is through the pain."

A musical outlaw through and through, Dorothy returned this summer with "MUD," a display of raw, full-bodied vocal power complimented by heavy-hitting instrumentation and riffs galore. The song landed at No. 3 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart and at No. 4 on the Active Rock Chart. Watch the official music video here. The visual presents Dororhy in all of her bad-ass, rock 'n' roll glory.

Dorothy also previous shared the song "The Devil I Know." Watch the lyric video here.

With three brand new songs released into the wild and the world, the details of Dororthy's forthcoming fourth studio album are imminent. 2025 is shaping up to be the year of Dorothy…

Dorothy's discography thus far includes Gifts From the Holy Ghost (2022), which was inspired by a spiritual awakening, as well as ROCKISDEAD (2016), which inspired Roc Nation to sign the artist to the label, and 28 Days in the Valley (2018). The Budapest, Hungary-born stunner has enjoyed over 1 billion global streams combined across her career and has participated in high-profile collaborations with everyone from Staind to Slash of Guns N' Roses to Scott Stapp of Creed to Alice Cooper guitarist Nita Strauss, earning and ultimately cementing her place among the hard rock elite. 

Shadows Fall Sign With MNRK Heavy + Band Shares "In The Grey" Video

Shadows Fall, who were at the forefront of the New Wave of American Metal scene that dominated the '00s, are back with a brand new song and a new label! The band has shared the new single "In the Grey." Watch the video below.

The band — singer Brian Fair; guitarists Jonathan Donais and Matt Bachand; bassist Paul Romanko; and drummer Jason Bittner— is also thrilled to announce it has signed with MNRK Heavy.

The song is classic Shadows Fall — galloping solos, riffs on top of riffs, three-tiered vocals, memorable, stadium-sized melodics, and introspective lyrics.

"We are incredibly excited to share our first new music in over a decade with our single 'In the Grey' and are proud to announce our partnership with MNRK Music Group," states singer Brian Fair. "When Shadows Fall first got back in the practice space to prepare for our reunion shows, we did not know if it would lead to new music, but the excitement of jamming together and all of the riffs that Jon [Donais] had floating around in his head led us in the direction almost immediately. The idea began flowing, the energy started building and new songs began taking form out of the the chaos."

He continues, "'In the Grey' is a full-throttle thrasher that contains all of the elements that are the bedrock of the Shadows Fall sound, but also adds new elements and approaches that developed in the recent past while we all explorer other musical avenues. Lyrically, I was trying to put into words and describe the physical manifestation of the weight and crushing power that can come with depression, that feeling that the weight of gravity is crashing down on you or being trapped in the dark waters of our own mind, trying to rise to the surface and take a breath. It can be an overwhelming and lonely place but there is always a light at the end of that tunnel and we always need to keep striving for a brighter day and escaping the grey." 

Fair finishes, "We want to sincerely thank everyone for the decades of support that you have given Shadows Fall and we cannot be happier to be back and rocking once again. Crank up 'In the Grey,' raise those horns to the sky, and bang your head as hard as you can.  Stay tuned for more music and news soon..."

Scott Givens, MNRK's SVP of Rock & Metal, stated, "When you get the chance to sign a genre-defining band like Shadows Fall, you do it. We at MNRK are proud they have chosen to work with us as they enter the next phase of their career."

ABOUT MNRK MUSIC GROUP:
MNRK Music Group is one of the largest independent music companies in the world, operating in every major music market.

Once again, The Old Dead Tree are springing back to life. The French goths are back with more soul-stirring progressive metal on their first full album since 2007. Second Thoughts is an unflinching descent into love, loss and the burning desire to overcome the shadows that hunt us all.

Grinding against the struggles of the past, The Old Dead Tree's journey to this point has been far from smooth. Separation and silence almost dimmed their light, but the band's unbreakable spirit has ignited a comeback. With Second Thoughts, they plunge deep into life's paradoxes—a raw, unfiltered exploration of anguish and fleeting joy.

Lead single "Unpredictable" dives into the chaotic maelstrom of life's twists and turns. "Solastalgia" channels collective anxiety over the fate of the planet into a gorgeous and gloomy chorus. "I don't know, my god I don't know what to do now ". With a nod back to their doom and death metal roots, "The Lightest Straw" envelops you in a brutal yet beautifully orchestrated soundscape, layering 40 vocal tracks into an intense, haunting blend.

"This will be an awesome tour; many shows are sold out already, and for several cities just a few tickets are left. We don’t take this for granted, especially after the last two years. We’re stoked about the support by our fans and thankful to everyone involved.

"To celebrate the start, we’re giving you 'Kaltes Herz'. This video was shot during the “Homecoming Tour” with our friends Lord Of The Lost and is a great flashback to an awesome tour, as well as a hint for what to expect attending the VANITAS TOUR. 

We see you tonight or very soon!"

Embrace the Darkness: NACHTBLUT's Todschick Marks a New Dark Metal Dawn

The monumental release of 'Todschick' not only presents 10 fresh new tracks, but even offers a wooden box set that includes a bonus CD with seven additional tracks, featuring collaborations with guest artists such as Frank Herzig (Schattenmann), Freki (Varg), Tetzel (Asenblut/All For Metal), Eric Fish (Subway To Sally), and further top acts.

The melancholic track “Das Leben der Anderen” criticizes modern societal ills like doom-scrolling through social media, overlaying the seemingly perfect lives of others with guttural screams. Meanwhile, the dark, new-wave-synth track “Manchmal kommen sie wieder” explores the eternal cycles of creation, destruction, and war. Some songs also reference film classics, including “Stirb Langsam,” a humorous celebration of escapism, which, in true NACHTBLUT style, conceals a sharp message. Tracks like “Kinder des Zorns” invite headbanging with especially hard riffs and tempo. With “Schneller als der Tod,” the band ventures into entirely new musical territory, seamlessly merging epic wild west elements with the powerful sounds of dark metal. Energetic melodies blend perfectly with Askeroth's characteristic vocals, creating a unique atmosphere that brings the album to a striking conclusion, offering an unexpected musical twist.

With 'Todschick', NACHTBLUT not only masterfully enriches dark metal with captivating, genre-spanning sounds that set new accents, but also addresses contemporary societal issues, striking a chord with the times. This new masterpiece is an invitation to view the dark beauty of life and its challenges in a new light, and to join the band on their 2025 headline tour to experience it live!

NACHTBLUT on the new album:

"'Todschick' is an album where death sets the rhythm, a musical blood kiss, in which the line between fiction and reality fades with every note."

Metal powerhouse BLEED FROM WITHIN have announced their new album Zenith that is set to be released on Apri 4th via Nuclear Blast Records. Alongside the announcement, the band have revealed the video for their new single 'In Place Of Your Halo', a thunderous shot of modern metal fury that pays homage to their native Scotland with a bagpipe-backed refrain for the ages.

On the news of their new album the band comment:

"In Place Of Your Halo marks the beginning of the next chapter for Bleed From Within. It is an anthem for those that feel like life has passed them by, or those that have been held back by their own limitations. We are killing the older version of ourselves in order to grow. This develops our resilience, a topic that underpins this band's journey and most of what we shout about. We've not had it easy, but neither has anyone else. This song is for all of us.
 
Through this growth, we come closer to our potential, our Zenith - the title of our 7th studio album. This is a body of work that we are so immensely proud of and look forward to sharing more of over the coming months. We couldn't think of a more fitting introduction to our next steps as a band than a breakdown with some bagpipes over it. Plenty more new music to follow. Enjoy."

NYC's genre-fluid ECCE SHNAK delivers blissfully pensive 'Prayer on Love' single

NYC-based outfit Ecce Shnak presents 'Prayer on Love', the second offering from their forthcoming 'Shadows Grow Fangs' EP, slated for release on February 7 via Record Man, Records. A pensive track, its guitars richly textured, its snare drums rattling, 'Prayer on Love' sees frontman David Roush’s vocals at their most distinctively beautiful. With it, they have shared a video directed by Brooklyn-based cinematographer Milton Walker.
 
“‘Prayer on Love’ is our most whole-grain rock song to date," says David Roush, "It’s a meditation on the nature of love and its diverse manifestations. It honors the complexity of love without declaring that it ‘is all we need'. The last verse is a celebration of the unique love in each person, all of our flaws notwithstanding: ‘Still my love is a star / Still my love’s a precious opportunity / and a miracle / flowing down the river of consequences and circumstances / and a self-same being.’”

This follows their powerful single 'Jeremy, Utilitarian Sadboy' about 19th Century English philosopher Jeremy Bentham, combining math-metal, post-rock and choral anthems in just 150 seconds.


Recorded and produced byJeff Lucciat the Art Farm (NY), their debut EP was mixed byNicholas Vernhes (Animal Collective, Deerhunter, The Fiery Furnaces, Dirty Projectors, Wild Nothing, The War on Drugs) and mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Greg Calbi (John Lennon, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Talking Heads, Patti Smith, Tom Petty, Todd Rundgren).

If there’s a fine line between wild-eyed, inspired genius and utter, irrepressible insanity, that’s where you’ll find Ecce Shnak, teetering on a neon tightrope. With Roush as composer, bassist, and one of two singers, he is joined byBella Komodromos(vocals),Chris Krasnow(guitar),Gannon Ferrell (guitar), andHenry Buchanan-Vaughn(drums).

This group subverts notions of style, playfully but reverently embracing multiple forms from across the spectrum, frequently within a single tune, while addressing weighty themes and notable trivia with striking articulacy. Roush notes, “Each genre has its own manner of expression, mannerisms, history, motivations, virtues, flaws, limitations, and so on. At my best as a composer and lyricist, I listen to and respect each one, then whatever I take from their souls informs mine, inhabiting it, expanding, and merging.”
 
'Shadows Grow Fangs' showcases Roush’s incomparable ingenuity and limitless invention over five songs, running the gamut from slow-burning meditations on love’s indispensability to mockery of the web from the perspective of a time-traveling poet – “What the fuck is the internet?!” Of course, this might sound a little ‘zany’, but it’s really not. Not at all. It’s intricately constructed, methodically fashioned, and – while undeniably offbeat – as serious and logical as it’s entertaining.
 
Talking with Roush is like meeting a thoughtful stranger with extraordinary knowledge of the weird and arcane, a fascination for society and what led us to where we are, and a noteworthy ability to share stories in an enlightening and empathetic manner. Then finally, while you’re still absorbing all the information he’s imparted, he’ll tie the knot to complete this elegant necklace. His narrative style, in fact, is much like listening to an Ecce Shnak song, which frankly makes the band's name perfect. “The meaning,” he concludes is, ‘look at this!’” (‘Ecce’ – Latin for “Behold!”)

The 'Prayer on Love' single is out now, available everywhere from fine music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and Bandcamp. The ‘Shadows Grow Fans’ EP will be released on February 7, 2025.

PALEFACE SWISS Unveil New Single & Music Video “LOVE BURNS”

Switzerland’s Paleface Swiss continue their unrelenting march towards the release of their third album, ‘Cursed,’ with the unveiling of their brand-new single, “Love Burns.” Following the intensity of previous tracks “Hatred”, which was recently included in Loudwire’s coveted ‘Best Rock & Metal Songs of 2024’ list and nominated for “Angriest Song of The Year” in Nik Nocturnal’s popular annual awards and “My Blood On Your Hands,” also nominated in Nik Nocturnal Awards 2024 for ‘Best Animal Noise, this latest offering delves deeper into the band’s evolving artistry, balancing their signature heaviness with an emotionally charged narrative. Fans can watch the official music video below and can stream the track on their platform of choice HERE .

“Love Burns” picks up where “My Blood On Your Hands” left off, unfolding a fictional tale of love turned destructive. Opening with the chaotic brutality that fans have come to expect, the track crescendos into a hauntingly melodic conclusion, a move that highlights the band’s growth and willingness to push boundaries. Each track on the band's upcoming album is represented by a different flower, features on the album artwork. “Love Burns” is represented by the Cyclamen—a bloom associated with parting, resignation and saying goodbye.Frontman Marc “Zelli” Zellweger explains,

“‘Love Burns’ is a combination of the old and new, and it’s a song I’m immensely proud of. The story I want to tell is something everyone can relate to. The concept of the album, in which each flower represents an emotion and a track, makes it all the more cohesive for me.”

The band's upcoming third full-length, ‘Cursed’ is a masterclass in modern brutality and encapsulates two years of creative exploration and raw personal experiences for the Paleface Swiss members. The band retreated to the seclusion of the Canary Islands to craft this sonic juggernaut. Collaborating with Ron Steven Deris at Misueno Studios and with long-time collaborator Florent Salfati (Landmvrks) helping to add the finishing touches, their work culminated in an album that marries the band’s signature heaviness with intricate conceptual storytelling. The first single from the album, “Hatred”, was released in September, delivering the perfect blend of bombastic nu-core swagger, incendiary rapid fire vocals, thrash-inspired guitar solos and the pummeling rhythmic section the band have become globally renowned for. Since release, ‘Hatred’ has hit 877k streams on Spotify alone, with the accompanying music video hitting 250k views.  

The release of “Love Burns” comes as Paleface Swiss prepare for their most ambitious touring schedule yet. Their European and UK headline tour kicks off on January 30th, 2025, in their hometown of Zurich, Switzerland, with support from The Acacia Strain and Desolated. Following 27 dates across Europe and the UK, the band will bring their monstrous sound to North America, beginning March 20th in Detroit, MI. Featuring Stick To Your Guns and Nasty, the 30-date US run will hit major cities including New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto. Tickets and full routing can be found HERE

The band are also running a one-of-a-kind Golden Ticket initiative for fans. Those who pre-order the special box set on the official website will have a chance to find the coveted Golden Ticket, hidden within one lucky box.

ABOUT PALEFACE SWISS

Since the release of their first album, 'Chapter 3: The Last Selection', independent outfit, PALEFACE SWISS have gained international recognition throughout the Deathcore and Beatdown Community. Known for their huge, aggressive riffs, brutally bombastic rhythm section, frontman, Zelli's outstanding vocals and a pinch of humor. This is Switzerland’s finest heavy music. Across their catalog, the band have gained 110 million streams, 21 million YouTube views on their own channel, and recently peaked at 1 million Spotify monthly listeners.

‘Chapter 3: The Last Selection’ was released on October 30th 2020, spawning four huge tracks “Curse Us”, “The Rats”, "Lights Out" and “Skalpell” which quickly ranked high in the beatdown/hardcore charts and saw the band become cover stars on Spotify’s Heavy Beatdown playlist.

In 2022 the band released their second full-length album 'Fear & Dagger'. The album was widely considered a huge step up for the band as plaudits began to roll in for frontman Zelli's vocal ability and the band's unflinching commitment to never shy away from brutally heavy riffs, face-melting technically insane guitar solos, punishing beatdowns or from facing difficult, emotional topics head on. Metal Injectionaccurately summed it up in their review by saying, "It's fun to get caught up in Paleface's unrelenting instrumentals, but Zelli's really the star of Paleface. This is largely because he treats his screams like rap bars." New Transcendence stating "Paleface have created one of the most emotionally relevant and intriguing beatdown releases to date" and Wall of Sound calling it "an unashamedly brutal and angry album".

The album shot the band into the upper echelons of the "New Wave Of Deathcore" and spawned singles "The Orphan", "Deathtouch", "Dead Man's Diary" feat. LANDMVRKS frontman Florent Salfati and fan favourite and stylistic curveball, "My Grave / Lay with Me". The album focused on more mature and critical topics related to the fears and struggles young people have to contend with in the 21st century, most importantly, the topic of mental health.

The ensuing 2 years saw the band's popularity sky-rocket. Honing their craft in the live arena, the band rapidly jumped from strength to strength, creating what is now one of the most thrilling and impactful live shows in modern metal. Their ability to win over any crowd, wether it be their own headline shows, touring the US with the likes of Body Snatcher or The Ghost Inside, touring the UK with the likes of Counterparts and Kublai Khan or at globally renowned festivals such as Sick New World, Hellfest Open Air, Summer Breeze, Cabaret Vert, Dynamo Metal Festival and more, one thing is for sure, Paleface Swiss will turn an audience into fans by the time they're done at every show they play.

To support their largely sold-out touring efforts, the band released a series of stand alone singles, "Best: Before Death" - now a staple and firm fan favourite in their live set list, "Please End Me" and "The Gallow".

Now, with the impending release of their third full-length album, 'Cursed', Paleface Swiss are set to write the next chapter or their incredible, epic journey as they reveal their most thematically and sonically ambitious album to date. Never pulling punches when it comes to heaviness, technicality or emotional vulnerability, Paleface Swiss are rewriting the rulebook on what it means to be an extreme metal band.

Vox: Marc “Zelli” Zellweger

Guitar: Yannick Lehmann

Bass: Tommy-Lee Abt

Drums: Cassiano 'Cassi' Toma

Jaye Jayle Share New Track "Bloody Me"

Kentucky-based gothic blues ensemble Jaye Jayle have shared "Bloody Me," the second single taken from their fifth full-length album, After Alter,  set for release on the January 31 through Berlin's Pelagic Records.

Listen to "Bloody Me" below:

Originally formed as an unfiltered outlet for the sounds inside the head of band leader Evan Patterson, Jaye Jayle have always been an unpredictable entity. In the beginning, the songs were short and lighthearted, written on acoustic guitar with no plans to release them or even perform them publicly but, within a year, the private solo project had evolved into a full band and a full-length album: 2016's haunting post-punk, kraut-blues debut House Cricks and Other Excuses To Get Out. Time is indeed a fickle thing, as Jaye Jayle's forthcoming fifth album will attest.

An astounding collection of musical memories and emotional fragments, After Alter is a body of work drawn together from previous recording sessions and previous lives in order to chart a driving, cathartic course into territories unknown. "Bloody Me," the latest track shared from the album is Jaye Jayle's janiform identity made manifest. 

Written even before the band's debut album, "Bloody Me" is a bolshy, bass-driven punk rock retaliation to dressing up for Halloween because Patterson is alwaysdressed for Halloween. However, the track appears twice on the record, with a tender solo acoustic retelling cut straight to wax at Third Man Records in Nashville, mere hours before Patterson saw Bob Dylan perform for the first time, bringing the album to an introspective close. Two sides of the same coin; this latest single ferocious and snarling, its symbiotic sister plaintive and bare, but both unapologetically Jaye Jayle.

As this duality of "Bloody Me" shows, After Alter serves as both a document of the band’s history and as a new beginning. By creatively exorcising these poignant moments, Jaye Jayle are opening themselves up to new inspirations and there is already much more to come.

Patterson says, "'Bloody Me' is a testament for those that chose to not live their lives in the stereotype of the capitalistic calendar. I don't need to be told when and how to celebrate the what I love with those that I love. I do my best to celebrate everyday."

After Alter will be released on January 31.
