So, immerse yourself in a land before our time with the new live recording of 'MEMORIA' on DVD/BluRay!

With their new single “Legacy of the Tudors”, SERENITY rewrites history by mixing epic chants with heavy riffs. SERENITY unites the best of both worlds into a unique sonic experience beyond compare.

With the humble support of none other than honorable Vision of Atlantis vocalist Clémentine Delauney, “Legacy of The Tudors” becomes an unforgettable part of symphonic metal history.

To put it in their words: “When music plays its Melody" - it’s time for SERENITY!

SERENITY on “Legacy of The Tudors”:

“We’re so excited to finally unveil the first single from our upcoming Live Album 'MEMORIA'. This track is a very special one to us as it’s taken from the album 'War of Ages' which will have its tenth anniversary next year. During that time Clémentine Delauney was a permanent member of SERENITY and we feel very honoured that she returned to travel back in time to celebrate this special occasion and perform this track with us.”

Symphonic metal unit SERENITY offers a new approach to beguiling the senses with their live performance, 'MEMORIA', now on DVD/BluRay!

Interpreting their illustrious songs anew in a conceptual show, they are sure to enchant listeners and viewers alike. Showcasing incredible hit density, the band embraces their symphonic power and provides a magical feeling throughout the entire performance.

From classic folklore pieces like “Coldness Kills” that intrigues with its fairytale-like sound and classic instrumentals, to “Set The World On Fire” with catchy hooks and dashing soundscapes, SERENITY give it all in every single piece.

In “Set the World on Fire” and “Broken Dreams”, the unit is joined on their journey by the smooth and magical voice of Marco Pastorino awakening old myths and legends anew. These dreamlike soundscapes are being supported with enchanting guitar riffs in “Velatum” and “Souls and Sins” by no other than Sacha Paeth, the producer of Avantasia.

This way, the band not only showcases their incredible musical talent supported by talented vocalist Georg Neuhauser, but also their love and dedication for the art of music. Touching ballads like “Journey Ends” and “Fairytales” supported by the incredible vocal range of legendary Visions of Atlantis vocalist Clémentine Delauney forge reminiscence of earlier times, while moving duets like “Changing Fate” refer to multifaceted Scottish mythology.

In “Spirit of the Flesh”, Nicklas Müller offers rhythmic support by adding steady drums. As a special bonus on 'MEMORIA', the band taps Sascha Paeth and Michele Guaitolifrom symphonic metal greats Visions of Atlantis for their stage performance of “Souls and Sins” and “Legacy of the Tudors”. 

SERENITY on 'MEMORIA':

“After a long time of waiting, we’re excited to finally release our first live album.

SYLVAINE Unveils New Music Video for "Everything Must Come to An End"

Norwegian multi-instrumentalist SYLVAINE is now revealing a brand new music video for the song, "Everything Must Come to An End," which is taken from her latest opus, 'Nova!' The video, which was created by William Lacalmontie, can be found below.

SYLVAINE comments on the video: "This song…. There’s always at least one track on every album that resonates extremely deeply with me every time I revisit it in any way and 'Everything Must Come To An End' is definitely one of those on "Nova". It was the first song written for 'Nova' yet was somehow a prediction of what life would become shortly after. The whole album is colored by the emotions expressed in this specific track, especially regarding the impermanence of all. An emotionally heavy conclusion to an album that was awfully hard to make, 'Everything Must come To An End' is a track I'm not sure I'll ever be able to perform live, hence why I wanted to give people a chance to see some sort of performance of it. Director and creator William Lacalmontie captured a perfect, intimate balance between heartbreaking and heartwarming in this video, something I feel extremely grateful for. He managed to create a visual that perfectly embraces every aspect of this song."

The video release is in conjunction with SYLVAINE's forthcoming headlining European tour, which kicks off on December 7 in her hometown of Oslo (NO)! The full itinerary can be found below!

SYLVAINE is supporting the release of her brand new fourth studio album, 'Nova,' which is out NOW! In addition, the previously sold-out vinyl is now repressed and back in stock in the blueberry marble color! Stream/download/order HERE.

SYLVAINE has just launched her very own signature tea in collaboration with BrutaliTeas! "Apples Aligned, Coming Undone" is an apple crème brulée loose leaf tea created with ceylon black tea, gunpowder green tea, apple pieces, cinnamon, natural candy apple and crème brulée flavors, rose hips, rose petals, and marigold flowers and comes just in time for the autumn season! The tea can be ordered HERE and will also be available on SYLVAINE's merch table for the upcoming EU tour!

Additional details for the tea can also be found HERE.

To speak to Sylvaine, the one-woman multi-instrumentalist, bandleader, and composer born Kathrine Shepard, is to speak to some spirit that exists beyond the veil of convention and stereotypes. This is not a woman playing to the vogue dark melodic folklorist trope that has become so prevalent in the metal scene but rather, this is a woman who is a serious and classically trained composer and arranger whose songs, that originate on unplugged electric guitars in lavender and black bedrooms, end up exploding against the unlimited conventions of what modern music can accomplish. 

For some time, Kathrine Shepard has been seen as the petite pixie of the Norwegian black gaze scene but her small eleven features and lightheartedness belie the woman warrior behind Nova, her complex and personal fourth release. Following her 2018 Atoms Aligned Coming Undone release, Sylvaine (a play on the name of one of her beloved French poets, Paul Verlaine) gives us Nova, an album that is both a musical and personal reawakening of a singer/composer finding her way in this world.  

The Lord of the Rings type choir arrangement heralds in the opening of her latest release as we the entranced listeners follow her to the realm of Lothlorien. The creation of this ambitious release began in 2019, before the world changed before all of our eyes. Experiencing a personal loss in a time the world was suffering a collective loss, Sylvaine composed on her guitar and wrote in her notebooks, eventually leading her into the small rooms of Drudenhaus in early 2021. Sequestered away in the countryside of France, the Norwegian native and her musical cohorts would all contract Covid. Asthmatic since birth, our heroine isolated herself in a small room to score out the different soprano and alto melodies of an actual choir to make her vision for the opening track “Nova,” come to life. Sung in an imagined language, the syllables of NO-VA continued to emerge, suggesting to the singer something linguistically symbolic and important. 

“I’ve been wanting to write a choir piece since my 'Wistful' days,” she says, “Just a purely vocal piece. I love harmonies and the most personal instrument you have is yourself, your voice. I wanted to really show who I am this time around.” 

Naked on the cover, which may raise some eyebrows, Sylvaine insists to her fans that this is a symbol of her own vulnerability and personal rebirth that transpired over these years of creating Nova. “Nova" in terms of language is connected to words such as nuova (Italian) or nueva (Spanish), meaning ‘new’ and speaks to a rebirth, to loss, the temporality of life, grieving as nothing lasting forever, but looking forward as new doors are forever opening.  

Album tracks “Mono No Aware” and “Fortapt” are compositions in the 10-minute range, showing the progressive skills of the multi-instrumentalist’s musical mastery and magic. Taking the loud and quiet back-and-forth of the ‘90s a step farther, she manages to haunt every note with primal sincerity. “Fortapt” is a particularly unique track, paying homage to Sylvaine’s Norwegian roots. And while critics may want to pin a song like “Nowhere, Still Somewhere” in the shoegaze or dreampop category, her mysterious resonance adds something to the composition that makes Sylvaine’s work defy categorization.  

Much like Joan of Arc, Sylvaine is not a one-woman army without her legionaries. Instead of enlisting members of the folk metal glitterati, she has been a bit more selective about her surprise guests on her album, choosing Scottish violinist Lambert Segura of SAOR and cellist Nostarion aka Patrik Urban, whom she met while performing a very special acoustic show in Belgium in 2019. For Sylvaine, it felt emotionally appropriate to weave classically trained instrumentalists into her work, demonstrated on the last track on the album, "Everything Must Come to an End." 

Unlike so many of the pixie dream girls haunting the American metal landscape right now, Sylvaine sings but also screams from the very depths. There is absolutely no one in the metal game right now who can match her vocal range, which traverses from the elvish sounds of Enya and Lisa Gerard to the black metal Ericthro screeches of her kvlt counterparts of the land of ice and snow. 

In the U.S., we have a tendency to clarify bedroom pop as music that is composed in the feminine space of one’s bedroom confines. Although orchestral and incredibly composed, Sylvaine does not shy away from admitting her songs always start bare bones—almost all of her compositions begin with an unplugged electric guitar. “A melody and a chord progression should be able to stand on its own without any effects whatsoever. The song will go on to manifest itself in different ways but that main guitar part has to be solid enough to emotionally work just by itself, “ she says.  

But to this lover of Verlaine and the French Romantic poets (as well as a diehard Type O Negative fan), the written word is still paramount to her heart. After all, she explains, “Music is an attempt to avoid the words we can’t always express in life.”

Fencer Announce Self-Titled Debut Album & Release "Joseph Courtney" Single Out Now Via Blood Blast Distribution

The Los Angeles based rock trio, Fencer, have today announced their long awaited self-titled debut album, set to drop on February 3rd, 2023 via Blood Blast Distribution. This marks the band's first self-produced release, composed of 10-tracks and what is considered to be their most authentic work yet. Fans can pre-save the album here.

The album announcement is accompanied by the release of their latest single "Joseph Courtney." You can stream "Joseph Courtney" here. You can also watch "Joseph Courtney" LIVE at Jam In The Van below.

Speaking on today's album announcement, vocalist Field Cate shares:

"We are excited to announce our self-titled debut album, "Fencer". This was entirely produced, written, and performed by the three of us. Every sound, every decision, every minute detail. It was all Cameron, Scott, and I. It's Fencer through and through and this is the record we wanted to make. Heavy, soft, silly, sad, raw, emotional. Very blue. We will forever be proud of this project and these songs because it's just us. And it's been all ours for so long, the idea of release something so intimate is really weird. But I'm glad people will be able to hear what we spent those countless hours doing all alone in our little lockout. I hope it invokes some kind of feelign in you when you hear it, whatever that is. It's important to feel."

Speaking on the brand new track,"Joseph Courtney,", vocalist Field Cate continues:

"Oh, well hello! Meet Joseph Courtney. He's angry, sexy, and utterly intense. Able to control a crowd and thrive off the attention. He's a star. Someone and something I aspire to be. A concept that cures my insecurities and allows me to lose a bit of sanity. I like that. He's my alter ego. Why deal with cards I've been dealt when I can just pretend to be someone else? He's perfect. He's Joseph Courtney. You love him."

Not only was "Joseph Courtney" and the upcoming album self-produced, but it was mixed by Henry Lunetta (5 Seconds Of Summer, State Champs, Grayscale) and mastered by Zach Fisher (Weezer, Rancid, Bad Religion). Prior to today's release, Fencer had previously dropped tracks "Junebug", "Sanitarium", and a cover of Morphine's "Buena" which had racked up over 1.5 million listens across all streaming platforms. Be sure to stay tuned for more Fencer news coming soon.

Los Angeles fans also have the chance to see Fencer LIVE at Harvard & Stone on Thursday, December 1st, courtesy of Breaking Sound LA.

Miranda Lambert Earns Four GRAMMY Nominations, Bringing Career Total to 27

Reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year Also Nominated for Best Country Song, Best Country Solo Performance & Best Country Duo/Group Performance

Three-time GRAMMY winner Miranda Lambert added to her impressive tally of 23 previous nominations with four new nods, earning a nomination in each of the Country categories for the 2023 ceremony: Best Country Album, Best Country Song, Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Duo/Group Performance.

“I’ve always viewed a GRAMMY Award as one of the highest honors you can achieve as an artist,” notes Lambert. “I think back to creating these songs with some of my closest friends, not knowing where those writing sessions would lead, and it blows me away to see where they’ve taken us. These nominations are an absolute honor and I’m so proud to be representing the Country music community with this music that means so much to me.”

Best Country Album nominee Palomino arrived in April as the largest female Country album debut of 2022, produced by Lambert alongside Luke Dick and Jon Randall. Already named among the best albums of the year by TIME, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Stereogum and more, it marks the latest installment in a storied career that has spanned seven previous No. 1 solo albums, 10 No. 1 singles, more than 70 prestigious awards and countless sales certifications, earning the reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year praise from NPRas “the most riveting country star of her generation.”

With Pitchfork declaring that she “manages the hat-trick of both timelessness and timely activism” by challenging conventional gender notions in her Best Country Song nominated “If I Was A Cowboy” (awarded to the songwriters: Lambert and Jesse Frasure), the Texas native continues to expand the tent of the Country genre via her music.

“In His Arms,” nominated for Best Country Solo Performance, was originally featured on 2021’s GRAMMY-nominated The Marfa Tapes, a raw and intimate recording with collaborators Jack Ingram and Jon Randall. It was reimagined on Palomino, with Paste celebrating the reimagined song “now wrapped in gauzy guitars and echo” and Variety declaring that her “lovelorn vocal floats alongside gossamer brushstrokes of pedal steel and organ, producing a perfect little slice of nocturnal melancholy, all the more effective for resisting the urge to reach for the rafters.”

Lambert co-wrote Best Country Duo/Group Performance nominee “Outrunnin’ Your Memory” with Luke Combs (whom she sings with on the duet) and Dan Isbell, with the Tennessean declaring, “with a restless, road-worn chorus led by two of Country music’s favorite voices, the song leaves a can’t-miss mark.”

Also nominated for Favorite Female Country Artist at this Sunday’s American Music Awards, the top streaming female Country artist of 2022 was also named to the 2022 TIME100 list honoring the world’s most influential people, and her headlining Velvet Rodeo Las Vegas residency is underway now at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino’s Zappos Theater.

Ashley McBryde Earns Two GRAMMY Nominations Including Third Nod for Best Country Album

ASHLEY McBRYDE EARNS TWO NOMINATIONS FROM
THE RECORDING ACADEMY

Nods for Best Country Album and Best Country Duo/Group Performance
Mark Her Fifth and Sixth GRAMMY Nominations

With Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville, Arkansas Native Receives
Third Consecutive Nomination for Best Country Album

Grand Ole Opry Induction Set for December 10

“Artists laboring in isolation devising complex ways to present precise little songs of innocence and experience...Welcome to Lindeville.” – NPR

Set to become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry next month and praised by the Los Angeles Times as “one of Nashville’s most emotionally incisive songwriters with a voice that can channel pain as vividly as defiance,” Ashley McBryde continues adding triumphs to her milestone year as she earns her fifth and sixth GRAMMY nominations with Best Country Duo/Group Performance for her chart-topping duet “Never Wanted To Be That Girl” with Carly Pearce and her third nomination for Best Country Album for her critically acclaimed project Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville, which marked her third major label studio release via Warner Music Nashville.

“I’m so proud to be able to share these nominations with so many friends and collaborators – for a duet we wrote and took to No. 1 with Carly and the entire cast of Lindeville, where we gave ourselves the opportunity to change the approach and make decisions based solely on serving the songs,” shares McBryde. “I’ve always said that recognition from the Recording Academy and joining the Grand Ole Opry are the two best things that could ever happen to you as an artist, so here I stand just in awe of this moment. It’s such an honor to be right here right now. And especially in such good company.”

Cited by NPR as “a mischievous, and mightily pleasing, departure from the prescribed progression of a mainstream country career,” Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville was produced by John Osborne and features performances from Brothers Osborne, Brandy Clark, Aaron Raitiere, Pillbox Patti, Caylee Hammack and Benjy Davis, as AP observes, “McBryde and crew created detail-rich storylines with a John Prine level of empathy and compassion.”

“The very existence of an album like Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville is enough to restore your faith in Nashville, however far afield it might have wandered,” Variety boasts, making it “Country music’s most ambitious and oddball album in recent memory,” emphasizes Esquire.

Celebrated by Rolling Stone as “one of Nashville’s most exciting new exports, an ace songwriter who is also an ace singer and performer,” McBryde “has made abundantly clear over the course of her short but fruitful career, she is principally interested in peeling back the layers and speaking the truth,” asserts Vulture.

Summed up by Stereogum, “There’s a whole lot of beautiful writerly vision at work on Lindeville, but it wouldn’t matter if the songs weren’t great. Guess what? The songs are great… A lot of people put a lot of work into this record, and they made something that resonates on a deep, emotional level. Give it up for them.”

“When it comes out,” McBryde shared with Esquire, “I hope everybody laughs a little bit and I hope everybody says ‘What the f*ck?’ a little bit. Sometimes you look and realize, this town is such a mess, everybody here is a disaster. And in the same breath, in that same three minutes, everybody’s okay. And I love those times. Sometimes I wish I could make that stand still a little bit longer—we’re all a disaster, and it’s beautiful. And that’s true whether it’s a small town or a big city.”

Last week, McBryde was joined by Clark, Hammack, Patti and Osborne on the CMA stage for a rousing rendition of “When Will I Be Loved” after winning Musical Event of the Year for her No. 1 duet with Pearce “Never Wanted To Be That Girl.” Watch the “When Will I Be Loved” performance below.

In 2023, McBryde invites you to the revered Ryman Auditorium to experience Ashley McBryde Presents: LindevilleLive, featuring the cast of collaborators and special guests performing songs from her critically acclaimed album, February 15 and 16. Tickets are available at AshleyMcBryde.com.

Paying homage to the radio programs of yesteryear, McBryde confirms Stereogum’s observation of the ringleader: “Here’s someone who loves and respects the age-old storytelling traditions of country music and who wants to find strange new ways to honor those traditions.”

About Ashley McBryde
CMA and ACM award winner Ashley McBryde cut her teeth playing country songs in rural biker bars – and it shows. Her 2018 major label debut Girl Going Nowhere (Warner Music Nashville) charmed the New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, Paste, The Washington Post and more, all en route to landing a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. McBryde closed out 2019 with ACM New Female Artist, CMT Breakout Artist of the Year, a New Artist of the Year win at the 53rd Annual CMA Awards and two nominations for the 2020 GRAMMYs for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance for “Girl Goin’ Nowhere.” Her follow-up Never Will was tagged by Rolling Stone as one of the most anticipated of the year alongside NPR, who also ranked her Top 10 RIAA Platinum-Certified single “One Night Standards” as one of the best songs of 2019. Produced once again by Jay Joyce, Never Will reveals the witty, confessional, detail-driven songwriting addressing a wide spectrum of blue-collar Southern women’s experience introduced on Girl Going Nowhere is still here, but perhaps even sharper. The album earned McBryde a 2021 GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making Never Will the only album nominated for Country Album of the Year by the ACMs, CMAs and the Recording Academy in the same award season. Her critically acclaimed duet with Carly Pearce, “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” went all the way to No. 1 and earned McBryde and Pearce both the ACM and CMA award for Musical Event of the Year. The Arkansas-native invites listeners to Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville, a collaborative new project featuring Brothers Osborne, Brandy Clark, Pillbox Patti, Caylee Hammack, Aaron Raitiere and more. Praised by The New York Times as “a fluorescent carnival of pedal steel and thumping guitar that proves McBryde can be a skilled curator, as well as a performer,” Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville is available now. Tickets for the two-night special event Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville Live at Ryman Auditorium will go on sale Friday, Oct. 14. For more information, visit AshleyMcBryde.com or follow her on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter @AshleyMcBryde and TikTok @AshleyMcBrydeMusic.

Dun Ringill Signs with The Sign Records & Release First Single ”Awakening”

Stream "Awakening" HERE

The Sign Records are happy to announce that Dun Ringill has joined the label for the release of their upcoming, double concept album 'Where the Old Gods Play Act 1 & 2'.

Formed in 2017 by current and former members of various groups including The Order of Israfel and Doomdogs, this Swedish six piece have developed their very own sound, where Nordic folk, doom and progressive metal meet mystical, storytelling lyrics.

Dun Ringill’s double concept album will be released as two separate albums during 2023 and 2024 respectively, and the first single "Awakening" is available on all streaming platforms November 11.

Dun Ringill on "Awakening":

"This opening song from our album starts off with the sound of the waves breaking against the shore with distant bagpipes being heard, before the heavy folky-doom takes the listener on a menacing dance between light and darkness. The bruised and scarred Lucia (the main character of this concept album), has just woken up on the seashore to start her unpredictable journey… 

The storyline is set in 1904 on the Isle of Skye in Scotland where Lucia, with low self-esteem from her troubled past, meets a local church group which is led by a strong, charismatic and manipulative individual.

The music of the album carefully reflects the main story which unfolds. Behind the dramatic backdrop of the Scottish Highlands, we follow Lucia’s dark inner journey which will form her personality and mind, leading to her Awakening."

Dun Ringill biography:

Dun Ringill started in 2017 as a dark and doomy project with Nordic folk influences, creating music with big harmonies and presenting them with lyrics directly from the land of evil and darkness within the creative mind of bassist Winberg. This quickly evolved into becoming something much bigger and, before long, the unique musical recipe of Nordic folk, doom and progressive metal would be born. 

When The Order of Israfel took a one-year break from September 2017, the rhythm section of that band, Patrik Andersson Winberg (Bass) and drummer Hans Lilja (also in Lotus) grabbed the chance to create new music again together with Patrik's old band mate from the Doomdogs era, Tomas Eriksson (Intoxicate and ex Grotesque).

To make this exciting project of Dun Ringill as great as possible, the band teamed up with Gothenburg's fella musicians, guitarists Tommy Stegemann (Silverhorse), Jens Florén(also in Lommi & ex- live guitarist for Dark Tranquillity) and Patric Grammann (SFT, Neon Leon).

In Autumn 2020, a line-up reshuffle was made with experienced drummer Neil Grantjoining the group after Hans Lilja left. This addition would prove to be influential in pushing their musically boundaries even further by not only adding a progressive oddity to the mix, but simultaneously delving even deeper into the folk and heavy doom and metal worlds which the band already use as their playground.

As a follow up their two highly acclaimed albums 'Welcome' and 'Library of Death' (with average reviews of over 8/10 for both albums), the band toured with acts like Church of Misery, Year of The Goat and Elder they also played festivals like Headbangers Open Air and Gloomy days to name just a few.

The release of their new album will be an adventurous double concept album, released as two single albums via The Sign Records, is based on a movie script written by Patrik Andersson Winberg (bassist and main songwriter in DR) and Jonas Granath (teacher in religion and literature). Contact has been made with movie producers who have shown great interest in the script thus far. More info to follow later this year. The story (based in Scotland in early 1900) centers around the manipulation of the church with a priest whose secret agenda only reveals itself at the end.

Dun Ringill are:

Thomas Eriksson – Vocals (Also in Intoxicate and Ex-Grotesque and Doomdogs)

Neil Grant – Drums (Ex- End of Level Boss and RAAR)

Patrik Andersson Winberg – Bass (Ex the Order of Israfel and Doomdogs)

Jens Florén – Guitar (Also in Lommi and ex live guitarist for Dark Tranquillity)

Tommy Stegemann – Guitar (Ex Silverhorse)

Patric Grammann - Guitar (Ex Southern Festival Train and Neon Leon)

Åskväder Returns with New Single & Music Video for "Cyclops”

STREAM "Cyclops" HERE

Åskväder returns with the single and music video "Cyclops". The single is the first new music from the Swedish group since their second studio album 'Fenix' was released in March earlier this year, and offers an energetic mixture of Scandinavian garage rock, catchy hooks and bluesy licks.

"Cyclops” is the first of two new tracks which Åskväder recorded during the second half of 2022. The single is released together with a music video made by Carl Stenlöv.

Åskväder on "Cyclops":

"Our idea was to create a fast-paced track with some great dynamics to it and of course also add our signum - hooks, groove and hooks. Our goal for the buildup of the song is that the listeners should be compelled, through the duration of this gem, to raise their fists in the air and start head banging.  We are deeply troubled by the recent events in the world such as the ongoing war and injustices taking place and 'Cyclops' is our effort to express our thoughts. The lyrical content is of great importance to us and it kind of wrote itself as it is a storm of feelings channeled through our music. We are proud of the results and hope you'll enjoy the track - we enjoyed every part of creating it."

"Cyclops” is out now on all streaming platforms. The single is released on The Sign Records.

Electrifying Swedish rockers Åskväder makes thunder and lightning through music. Well balanced seasoning to the sound of the 90s Scandinavian rock scene, mixed up with smoking hot riffs drenched in bluesy licks and catchy refrains. Add to this, hammering drum and bass grooves, with a topping of elaborate vocal harmonies.

While capturing some of the influences from the legends of our time such as The Hellacopters and Turbonegro, Åskväder manages to stay in their own lane, creating their own style of rock for a new decade.

Åskväder is Swedish and translates to 'Thunderstorm'.

That says it all. No fuss, just straight Rock 'n' Roll.

Hailing from the west coast of Sweden, Åskväder released their debut EP 'Quick Fixes'in 2018. In 2020, the band joined forces with The Sign Records for the release of their debut, self-titled studio album.

In 2022, Åskväder returns with their second full-length effort, 'Fenix'. The new album takes the Åskväder sound heard on the debut album to a new level.

Mixed by Kalle Lilja & Per Stålberg (Welfare Sounds), who truly put an intense vibe to the album.

Åskväder was formed in 2018 and consists today of Kammo Olayvar with his lightning speed bass grooves, Tim Ferm on drumrolls, Albin Sörensson on lead vocals and Martin Gut bending guitar strings and singing harmonies.

Look out for Åskväder!

New Music Out Now from Roulette

Roulette are Back

with the Brand-New Single & Music Video for

"Ready for Friday Night"

Listen to "Ready for Friday Night" HERE

After the release of the album 'NOW!' and all great reviews all over the world, Roulettewas supposed to go on a European tour and also play a couple of festivals in Scandinavia. However, the pandemic swept in, and everything was postponed.

They have been waiting patiently to meet their fans and this year everything is happening!

Roulette headlined Scandirock Melodic in Gothenburg, played at Sabaton Open Air (with bands such as Nestor, Amaranthe and Hammerfall) where they received a 9/10 review for their live performance. From there they headed out on a successful tour in Spain in September.

They will also play in their hometown of Sundsvall soon and then finish off the year at the end of November playing at All Star Fest in Antwerpen, Belgium (sharing stage with legends as Demon, Praying Mantis, FM, Treat and many more).

To celebrate all of this, they are now releasing a new single called "Ready For Friday Night" accompanied by a new music video.

The new song is a real up-tempo rocker with a killer chorus and lyrics that tells you it’s time to get out and party, after 2 years of staying at home.

Singer Tomas says:

"Ready For Friday Night" is really a "party song" about the great feeling of going to a party with your friends after a hard week's work. But it also has a deeper meaning, and that’s the great emotional feeling we all felt when society opened up after 2 years of the pandemic."

The new single is recorded and produced by Chris Rehn at Booxrom Studios. Booxrom also did the video for the song using clips from the band's recent tour in Spain.

New Music Out Now from Black Paisley

Today, Black Paisley release the new single 'PROMISES', which is the last from the upcoming new album, 'Human Nature'.

Previous singles for 'Human Nature' are, "Don´t Call Me A Liar", "Crazy", "Set Me On Fire", "Not Alone" & "Mojo".

The song combines Disturbed-esque guitar riffs and Bon Jovi-like choruses with a catchy melody on top. Santunione’s intro riff sets the scene for a classic blues groove, while Blomqvist’s chorus makes the song fit for any rock radio station with self-preservation.

Now the band makes their final Promise to keep the Classic Rock fire burning – it’s just human nature

“Catchy rock songs that are so damn fun that no part of the body can stay still here. You are automatically drawn into the spell of the sound and have just one thing on your mind from start to finish”

“Arguably the best rock band we've heard in recent years” says Metallum

Out on streaming and CD Digipak November 25. Distribution via Sound Pollution.

BOYHITSCAR ISSUES NEW SINGLE/VIDEO, ‘INJUSTICE FATIGUE,’ FROM FORTHCOMING NEW ALBUM

Veteran hard rockers BoyHitsCar return on November 11th with a brand new song/video, “Injustice Fatigue,” which serves as a taste of what’s to come from their forthcoming full-length, Waves of Sound Across Oceans of Time (which will be issued via DarkStar/Sony records some time in 2023):

https://orcd.co/injusticefatigue

The "Injustice Fatigue" single/video (directed by Pearry Reginald Teo) will arrive on most digital platforms, along with a YouTube music video premiere:

Comprised of members Cregg Rondell (vocals, twelve string guitar), Mike Bartak (guitar), Bill Gower (bass guitar), and Erik Peterson (drums), the band had the following to say about their new single/video:

“‘Injustice Fatigue’ captures the authentic spirit of BoyHitsCar, while injecting a new sonic energy with lyrical focus on modern times, for many citizens of Mother Earth have experienced some type of injustice; both individually and collectively. Yet still, most of us maintain a level of love & compassion, in our hearts…

BoyHitsCar was formed in 1993, with the idea to write melodic-heavy music that would translate well into a high energy live show. Their brand of music has been dubbed "LoveCore" - connecting people around the world in a positive way through the heavy, uplifting tones and messages found in the BHC sound.

And seeing the band live adds a whole other dimension to their sound. “The energy between Boy Hits Car live & their fans (the LoveCore Alliance) is a unique experience. One must see and hear it to believe it,” says the band.

AllMusic described BoyHitsCar as having an “aggressive rock sound,” the Rough Edge site said, “BoyHitsCar offers a funky, hippy take on life, nurturing a respect toward nature as well as a serious demeanor towards life and their music,” while Kerrang added they offer “the sickest, loveliest, ugliest, prettiest, most beautiful, melodic, heartfelt music.”

Lastly, the quartet are already looking forward to the future. Upon the release of the upcoming 7th studio album, Waves of Sound Across Oceans of Time…Boy Hits Car will be planning US and European tour dates. Stay tuned for details on the album release and more!

Scott McCreery Debuts Official Music Video for "It Matters To Her" with PEOPLE.com; 'Same Truck: The Deluxe Album' Available 11/18

SCOTTY McCREERY DEBUTS OFFICIAL “IT MATTERS TO HER”
MUSIC VIDEO WITH PEOPLE.com TODAY

Same Truck: The Deluxe Album Available on Vinyl, CD and Digital
This Friday, Nov. 18 with Six Additional New Songs

Returns to the Road after Paternity Leave on Nov. 30 for Solo Shows,
Opening for Alabama and Co-Headlining Acoustic Dates with Lee Brice

Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Network to Air “Five More Minutes: Moments Like These”
Movie on December 17, Inspired by McCreery’s Hit Song

Triple Tigers recording artist Scotty McCreery debuted the official music video for his current single “It Matters to Her” today on People.com. The song, which is rising up the country airplay charts, follows his five consecutive No. 1 hits, including his recent three-week No. 1, RIAA- Gold certified smash “Damn Strait.”

“It Matters to Her” can be found on McCreery’s Same Truck: The Deluxe Album, which will be available this Friday, Nov. 18 on vinyl, CD and digital, and includes six additional new songs not found on the original album that came out last year, including the recently released tracks “Nothin’ Right” and “Small Town Stories.”

The “It Matters to Her” video was filmed in North Carolina and directed by Austin, Texas-based filmmaker Jeff Ray, who has directed four other McCreery music videos (“Five More Minutes,” “This is It,” “In Between,” and “Damn Strait”). Written by McCreery, Rhett Akins, and Lee Thomas Miller, the song was produced by Frank Rogers, Derek Wells, and Aaron Eshuis.

“I wanted to really focus the video on Gabi and our preparations for Avery’s arrival,” said McCreery. “We filmed some of it over the course of several months at home in Raleigh when we were getting the nursery ready. We also filmed some of it at our place at North Topsail Beach. I think you can see in the video how excited we were getting for Avery to get here as well as how amazing Gabi was throughout the entire pregnancy.”

The new dad will return to the road after paternity leave on Nov. 30 when he headlines the National Finals Rodeo’s Downtown Hoedown on Fremont Street in Las Vegas, Nevada. His performance schedule through the end of the year is below.

Nov. 30 Las Vegas, NV Downtown Hoedown on Fremont Street
Dec. 4 Nashville, TN Opry Country Christmas at the Grand Ole Opry House
Dec. 7 Houston, TX KKBQ 93Q Star Party

Dec. 17 Huntsville, AL Von Braun Center (co-headlining with Lee Brice)
Dec. 18 Raleigh, NC 94.7 QDR Acoustic Christmas for the Kids Guitar Pull

The three dates featuring McCreery co-headlining with Brice will be acoustic shows. Both artists will be on stage for the entire concert, and they will trade off songs with each other, providing a more intimate concert experience than usual.

McCreery won a BMI Award last week for co-writing his No. 1, RIAA Gold-certified hit “You Time,” which was named one of BMI’s Most Performed Country Songs of 2021. His co-writers Frank Rogers and Aaron Eshuis received an ASCAP Award for the song in the same category.

McCreery’s No.1, RIAA Double Platinum-certified hit song “Five More Minutes” (which he co-wrote with Frank Rogers and Monty Criswell) has inspired a second movie on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. “Five More Minutes: Moments Like These” will premiere on December 17 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, starring Ashley Williams and Lucas Bryant. It is an all-new storyline and not a sequel to last year’s hit “Five More Minutes” movie. McCreery does not appear in the movie, as it was filmed during the last month of Gabi’s pregnancy.

About Scotty McCreery
Scotty McCreery’s upcoming album Same Truck: The Deluxe Album will be available on Nov. 18 on vinyl, CD and digital. It contains two No. 1 RIAA Gold-certified hit songs “You Time” and “Damn Strait,” and his current single “It Matters to Her,” as well as six additional new songs not on the original album. In total, McCreery has achieved 5 consecutive No. 1 hits in the last few years, including the two mentioned above as well as an additional three from his last album Seasons Change, the RIAA Gold-certified project which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Album chart: the RIAA Double Platinum-certified “Five More Minutes,” the RIAA Platinum-certified “This Is It,” which stayed at the top of the charts for two weeks, and RIAA Gold-certified “In Between.” McCreery co-wrote all 11 songs on Seasons Change, which Rolling Stone named as one of the “40 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2018.” Four of his albums have debuted at No. 1 on a Billboard Albums chart, with current combined sales surpassing 4 million copies. With five consecutive No.1 hits to his credit, he’s earned one Double Platinum, four Platinum and four Gold singles; one Platinum and two Gold albums; won the 10th season of “American Idol” in 2011; was named the ACM New Artist of the Year in 2011; won the CMT Music Award for Breakthrough Video of the Year (‘The Trouble with Girls’) in 2012; American Country Awards for New Artist of the Year in 2011 and Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2013; BMI Awards for writing One of the Top 50 Country Songs of the Year five times (in 2015 for “See You Tonight,” in 2018 for “Five More Minutes,” in 2019 for “This is It,” and 2021 for “In Between,” and in 2022 for “You Time”); a Carolina Beach Music Award for National Dance Song of the Year (‘Barefootin’’) in 2018; the NSAI Nashville Songwriter Award for One of the Top Ten Songs I Wish I’d Written (‘Five More Minutes’) in 2018; and the Randy Owen Angels Among Us Award from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 2022. The North Carolina native released his first book, Go Big or Go Home: The Journey Toward the Dream, in 2016; it was re-released in paperback in 2020. His song “Five More Minutes” inspired a popular movie of the same name which aired on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Network during November-December 2021. A second movie, “Five More Minutes: Moments Like These” will air on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Network on December 17, 2022. McCreery launched his recording career by making history in 2011 as both the first country artist and the youngest male artist of any genre to debut his first studio album, the Platinum-certified Clear as Day, at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard Top 200 Albums chart.

Singer/Songwriter Julia Poorman Releases New Single "Already Got It" + Official Music Video

Stream "Already Got It":

https://ffm.to/juliapoorman

Singer/songwriter Julia Poorman released her newest single "Already Got It" to all major platforms. The lyrics and music were written by Julia Poorman and Danny Roselle (The Mylars). The single was produced and mixed by Danny Roselle at Lakehouse Studios in Asbury Park, NJ with additional recording at Rosedome Studios in Summit, NJ. It was engineered by Nick Semanchik and mastered by Michael Fossenkemper.

The video was shot in Deal, NJ (the beach scenes) and in downtown Asbury Park. The bakery scene was filmed at Confections of A Rockstar. It was directed/edited by Steven Nathan and produced by Art in the Chaos.

"This song was born during a bike ride through an idyllic neighborhood. The stark contrast of my life compared to the picturesque extravagance really exacerbated my sense of lack. I have always struggled with looking outside of myself for approval and happiness. During an introspective search to find my center, these lyrics repeated in my head like a mantra. 'All we ever want, we already got' and the rest flowed pretty easily. I hope this song resonates with you and unveils or confirms your sense of worthiness and abundance as true peace always comes from within," says Julia.

Writing songs has always been second nature to Julia. As a young girl living in New York's Finger Lakes Region, her little poems could be found stuffed in her night stand expectantly waiting for melodies to bring them to life. As soon as she'd pick up the paper, the music would come flowing out and a song would be born.

Throughout her youth, music served as a reliable and cathartic outlet for Julia. To her, it's an entire dimension filled with comradery, boundless expression, and healing.

As a young adult, Julia took a brief step back from her musical endeavors to help build a business and life with her fiance. Navigating the world as an entrepreneur brought many rewarding opportunities for growth and unforgettable experiences, but she was left feeling a void in her creative nature.

In 2021, Julia unexpectedly lost her father. One of the last text messages he sent her was a photo of him listening to her original self-titled EP from 2012. She knew she needed to get back to her roots to begin to heal. Music became a necessary therapy again, and the melodies and lyrics just didn't stop.

Julia now feels the importance of creating music that puts people in their own flow state, a vibrational catalyst for self-exploration and healing. Her passion reclaimed, she feels as though this is just the beginning.

Lead & Backing Vocals- Julia Poorman
Guitars, Bass, Piano- Danny Roselle
Drums- Chris O'Hara

Upcoming Show Dates:

11/26 - Destination Asbury (Asbury Park, NJ)

EPICA Release New EP 'The Alchemy Project' via Atomic Fire Records

Symphonic metal titans EPICA finally unleash 'The Alchemy Project', a unique collaboration featuring 13 bands and musicians who co-wrote and performed the 7 new tracks with them. For this special occasion, EPICA presents another true gem from the release, in form of a music video for a hauntingly dark track with a majestic chorus: "Sirens - Of Blood And Water" was co-written and performed with melodic metal queen Charlotte Wessels and folk/black metal pioneer Myrkur, and together with Simone Simons, these 3 leading ladies of heavy music form the most spectacular trinity of this winter.

"Charlotte and I go back many years, but we never really worked on music together. Since she started releasing her solo songs, I became an admirer of her work and reached out to her to create a song for 'The Alchemy Project'." Simone Simons remembers. "That collaboration resulted in the beautiful haunting song, 'Sirens - Of Blood And Water'. We both have a fascination for mermaids, the fairytale from H.C. Andersen and wanted to write a song from the perspective of the sisters of the little mermaid. I loved how our creative minds flowed into the song and having Myrkur, who happens to be Danish just like the author of the tale, add her unique voice to the song was the perfect match that we needed to complete the story."

If this isn't the best possible way to conclude their 20 Year Anniversary Celebrations, then we don't know what it is. Get lured into the deep waters and watch "Sirens - Of Blood And Water" directed by Patric Ullaeus, below.

'The Alchemy Project' is now available as digipak CD, LP, or digitally, via this link: https://afr.link/EpicaAlchemy

Elle King Releases Tyler Childers’ “Jersey Giant”

ELLE KING RELEASES TYLER CHILDERS’ “JERSEY GIANT”

King to Open for Childers at Radio City Music Hall August 2 & 3, 2023

Award winning, singer-songwriter Elle King is dropping “Jersey Giant,” a never-before-released song by acclaimed artist Tyler Childers. “Jersey Giant,” is available here: EK.lnk.to/JerseyGiant.

“Tyler Childers is not too far from where my family lives and he’s a legend,” said King. “The life of a song is something so beautiful to me, and country music has taught me to see that the opportunity to sing a song written by someone else, is nothing short of a gift, a blessing. When you hear a song and say ‘I wish I wrote that’ you know it’s a good’n. I was humbled and so excited that Tyler gave his song to me. I tried to blend the two worlds of honoring traditional bluegrass and what country music is to me. Thank you, Tyler, for your music, and thank you for entrusting me with this gift. I’m so excited for everyone to hear it.”

“I wrote ‘Jersey Giant’ over ten years ago and only performed it for a short period of time,” said Childers. “I was pleased with how it turned out structurally (it even has a bridge, which is rare for me), but I was over performing it pretty fast. I reckon that’s just how songs go sometimes. They can be like that coat you saw and had to have, only to get it home and think, ‘Why gah, I ain’t never gonna wear this thing.’ Or, one that you got from an ex which you would rather just toss out. But that’s not saying anything against the coat, it just doesn’t fit me anymore and hasn’t for some time. I’m super excited that Ms. King has dusted this old song off and given it a new life. I’m extremely grateful for her seeing the potential in this tune and wish her the best out there on the road. Break a leg Elle! And stay warm.”

King, who provides lead and background vocals and is featured on acoustic guitar, co-produced the track with award-winning, singer-writer and multi-instrumentalist and reigning ACM Acoustic Guitar Player of the Year, Charlie Worsham. Worsham lends his signature sound for background vocals, plus acoustic guitar, mandolin and banjo.

King will join Childers on his 2023 Send in the Hounds Tour at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on August 2 and 3.

King is set to release her new album Come Get Your Wife, on January 27. The record includes her current single, “Worth A Shot” (feat. Dierks Bentley), which hit No. 1 this past weekend on SiriusXM’s, The Highway Hot 30 Countdown.

Other tracks already available from the new record are the feisty “Try Jesus,” “Out Yonder,” and “Drunk (And I Don’t Want To Go Home),” with Miranda Lambert. “Drunk” became the first woman-woman collaboration to reach the top-spot on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart since Reba McEntire and Linda Davis’ “Does He Love You,” in 1993.
