Starbenders Drop New Single + Music Video "The Game" via Sumerian Records

Atlanta rock n' rollers Starbenders have today released their latest offering "The Game" and the accompanying lyric video (out via Sumerian Records). Speaking on today's drop, the band shares:

"We wrote "The Game" to inspire those who are feeling low on luck and overlooked by a world that's often unforgiving. A battle cry for the downtrodden underdogs. We cooked up a sound to summon the feeling of self-generated power guided by Gods, angels, and ghosts. You can torch all obstacles and silence the doubters once and for all with a little bit of faith. It's all in the way you play The Game." 

Stream "The Game" here, watch the lyric video below, and stay tuned for more Starbenders news coming soon.

Hailing from Atlanta, GA, Starbenders has dropped their hotly-anticipated new release "The Game" via Sumerian Records off the heels of 2020’s Love Potion studio album and serving as the follow-up to 2019’s Japanese Rooms EP. These are words similar to those which you will read on countless press releases, but there really isn’t anyone else out there doing what Starbenders have been doing since forming in 2014: The intoxicating combination of glam with new wave and new romantic, seduced into this modern era by four thrilling musicians and, in frontwoman Kimi Shelter, one of the most exciting songwriters in contemporary rock & roll.

Hard Rock Veterans BLACK WATER RISING Release New Single “Hail Mary”

Hard rock veterans Black Water Rising have released a new song, titled “Hail Mary”, along with a music video! Preceded by their song “Jokes On You” from last year, the music video for the new track is premiering today exclusively via Ghost Cult Magazine.

"Hail Mary" is the fourth single from the band’s upcoming album, due out later this year. It also features original guitarist John Fattoruso, who rejoined BWR in late 2019. The video was once again directed by Tom Flynn (Lamb Of God, I Prevail). The new material promises to be more melodic, yet still as riff-heavy as BWR’s previous albums - featuring hooks and catchy choruses to pull you in, all while retaining a musical identity of its own.

Commenting on the new video, drummer Mike Meselsohn shares, "It was great working with Tom (director) again on this new video. Although it's strictly a performance video, he was able to capture the live energy of the band while still creating a visually stunning compliment to the song!"

Watch the video for “Hail Mary”

Stream "Hail Mary" HERE

BLACK WATER RISING is a collection of soul-baring, angst-ridden, riff-heavy material that is proudly anchored in the foundations of traditional hard rock songwriting. Giant guitar-driven monster riffs served up on a bed of crushing grooves with soaring melodic vocals and big hooks. Basically, NO FRILLS RIFF ROCK!

Lyrically the message is socially and politically driven by the dark times we live in. With darkness seemingly growing by the day, BLACK WATER RISING is a name that fits this band like a glove. The philosophy of BWR is simple, they are not looking to reinvent the wheel, they just want to give it a much-needed alignment in these musically stale times.

The band's discography includes the self-titled 'Black Water Rising' (2010), an album that achieved the number one slot on Amazon's Hard rock chart upon release, 'Pissed and Driven' (2013), an honest, barebones rock album that climbed rock/metal charts, and their third full album, 'Electrified' (2017), with its first single charting on Billboard's Indicator Chart.

Black Water Rising are:

Rob Traynor - Vocals/Guitar

Mike Meselsohn - Drums

Oddie McLaughlin - Bass

John Fattoruso - Guitar

Of Virtue Share "A.N.X.I.E.T.Y." Video — WATCH

STREAM "A.N.X.I.E.T.Y."

OF VIRTUE SHARE NEW SONG AND VIDEO "A.N.X.I.E.T.Y."

Michigan metalcore band Of Virtue serve their new single "A.N.X.I.E.T.Y." via Arising Empire.

Watch the video below.

Produced by Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland (August Burns Red, Polaris, Hollow Front), with additional production by Chris Shifflett, mixed and mastered by Dan Braunstein (known for his work for Spiritbox, Dayseeker, Volumes), this heavy new material hits you straight in the face.

"This song is about being uncomfortable in your own skin and being so far in your own head that you allow outside factors to break you down," says vocalist Tyler Ennis. "While you may know you need to change, not knowing how, not wanting to ask for help, not allowing yourself to be vulnerable to change — all due to the fear of the unknown, the anxiety — that's what paralyzes us. This all isn't talked about enough because of guilt or shame. The last few years have been very difficult for a lot of people, including us, for this reason. So we decided to speak up in case anyone felt the same way."

OF VIRTUE LIVE:
7/15 — Grand Rapids, MI — UpHeaval Fest

Of Virtue were formed in 2008 and catapulted onto the Michigan metalcore scene in 2009 with their debut EP To Breathe Again. Combining elements of melodic hardcore and metalcore into a mosh-friendly and energetic amalgam, the band became a staple within its local scene. Of Virtue issued their debut full-length Heartsounds in 2011, followed by an extensive regional touring cycle. The album found the band expanding on the sound that defined its earlier effort, with lyrics speaking of positivity and determination. It was sonically vicious, yet passionate and inspiring. In 2015, the band dropped Salvation, a sprawling and ambitious example of meticulous and melodic metalcore. Third full-length What Defines You arrived in 2019. That album marked incorporation of alternative styles into a backbone of bold, robust metalcore. Even in the setting of a global pandemic, Of Virtue continued to blossom worldwide, accruing new listeners and fans, effectively expanding their reach even in a time where live performances were all but impossible.

It's A World Leader Summit + A Plea for World Peace in LIMP BIZKIT's "Out of Style" Video — WATCH🌎☮️

LIMP BIZKIT BRING TOGETHER WORLD LEADERS IN A GARAGE FOR DEEPFAKE "OUT OF STYLE" MUSIC VIDEO
 
CLIP PREMIERES VIA MTV
 
LATEST ALBUM STILL SUCKS OUT NOW

BAND LAUNCHES D2C WHERE ALBUM IS AVAILABLE ON CD FOR THE FIRST TIME
 
If anybody could broker world peace, it's LIMP BIZKIT...
 
Today, LIMP BIZKIT share the cinematic music video for "Out Of Style," directed by frontman Fred Durst and Marc Klasfeld. 
 
The video made its broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, and MTV's Biggest Pop.

Durst and Klasfeld point to this Jimi Hendrix lyric when summing up the video: "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."
 
The song is the opening track from the band's sixth full-length studio album, STILL SUCKS. [Suretone].
 
The clip finds a deepfake assortment of "world leaders" together (Joe Biden, Vladimir Putin, Volodymyr Zelensky, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong-un), and even invites an appearance from "Mr. Maverick" himself in A.I. form. Meanwhile, the band throws down in a garage during a barbecue. There are all kinds of hidden Easter Eggs and deeper message — if you are paying close enough attention. 
 
The song and video are about unity, of course. Put aside the beef and let's focus on space, the universe, and what's next for us as a species.
 
For as many answers as it offers, there are just as many questions, but you'll have to watch it now.
 
STILL SUCKS will be available for the first time in two different CD configurations.
 
There will be a "Gold Disc" edition, which is a strictly limited-edition numbered run, and a "Silver Disc" edition.
 
Both versions will feature the album's 12 songs including "Out Of Style," "Dad Vibes," and "Don't Change," + a bonus track. Get it here.

BRAND OF SACRIFICE Announce New EP 'Between Death And Dreams"; Drop New Single "Dynasty"

Canadian deathcore wrecking crew, BRAND OF SACRIFICE, have announced the release of new EP, 'Between Death and Dreams' out on April 21st. To highlight the announcement, the band have dropped new single "Dynasty", complete with a stunning cinematic music video that has fast become their calling card. Listen to the track HERE. Watch the video below. Pre-Orders for 'Between Death and Dreams' will be live at 10am EST on Friday, February 10th HERE.

Speaking on the brand new track, BRAND OF SACRIFICE frontman, Kyle Anderson adds

'A big challenge for me this year was to bring in some different elements on the emotional spectrum into our music and lyrics, not just despair or anger. I wanted to express some of my personal story through this song. Dynasty is more uplifting - it's about challenging yourself to overcome your personal obstacles while staring fear in the face and, much like Brand of Sacrifice as a whole, becoming an absolutely unstoppable force.'

"Dynasty" follows the release of track "Exodus", the band's first new music in over a year, in November last year to much furore from fans. "Exodus", "Dynasty" and the upcoming EP mark the beginning of a new chapter of BRAND OF SACRIFICE. Maintaining their signature brutality and complexity, but upping it to a whole new level with a few surprises thrown in.

Pre-orders and a special 'Between Death and Dreams' merch collection are available now from www.brandofsacrifice.com

BRAND OF SACRIFICE are currently on the road with We Came As Romans on their Darkbloom 2023 Tour. For further info and tickets, head to brandofsacrifice.com

ABOUT BRAND OF SACRIFICE

Since 2018, Toronto-based deathcore quintet BRAND OF SACRIFICE have been imprinting their mark on the heavy music scene. Dubbed ‘The Branded Ones,’ the group’s fans joined and marched with them as they tore across the globe in support of their sophomore album "Lifeblood", which debuted on 8 separate Billboard charts and earned them a Juno nomination for Metal Album of the Year.

The Plot In You Share "Left Behind" Lyric Video — WATCH

Ohio quartet The Plot In You — Landon Tewers [vocals], Josh Childress[guitar], Ethan Yoder [bass], and Michael Cooper [drums] — have shared the video for their newest single "Left Behind."

Watch it below.

The song is gorgeously mercurial — shifting from upbeat to pensive to ballistic — and it nods to some sonic inspirations. It's also lyrically introspective, as is expected from the band.

"'Left Behind' was inspired by old nostalgic bands and artists I grew up listening to," says Tewers. "I wanted to make something as a tribute to that sound and hopefully elevate it. It's a song about gaining back confidence and hope after cutting off a person that was draining and moving forward with a fresh perspective."

Last year, the band's 2018-released single "FEEL NOTHING" was officially certified Gold by the RIAA. The song is a digital success story that still streams over 2 million times and has enjoyed an exciting beyond-viral moment on TikTok. The track appears on the band's album DISPOSE.

The Plot In You will return to the road this spring on the headline "Watch the Divide" tour with Holding Absence, Thornhill, and Banks Arcade in tow. The tour kicks off on April 7 in New Haven, CT and runs through May 13 in Cincinnati. All dates are below.

ABOUT THE PLOT IN YOU:
TPIY dropped their fifth album Swan Song in 2021 via Fearless Records. The album is available here. After racking up over 100 million streams and receiving praise from Billboard, Rock Sound, Alternative Press, and more, the band crafted an album that addresses the end of various things and situations in life. It was a way for the members to expunge some negative things from their lives through their art. With this record,The Plot In You stared down years of negativity, soured friendships, disappointment, and mistakes and catalyzed those experiences into hammering distortion, towering melodies, epic production, and unapologetically cathartic lyrics. It's an album that their fans and beyond will intimately and instantly relate to.

NEW ALBUM FLESH + BLOOD OUT MARCH 10 VIA CLOSED CASKET ACTIVITIES
 
Texas quintet JUDICIARY — Jake Collinson [vocals], Kyle Calfin [bass], Austin Looney [drums], Jimmy LaDue [guitar], and Israel Garza [guitar] — will drop their sophomore album Flesh + Blood via Closed Casket Activitieson March 10. Pre-order it here.

Today, the band has shared "Paradigm Piercer." Listen below.

"We wrote 'Paradigm Piercer' to sonically take you further into the world we built with this record," says Collinson. "I wrote the lyrics with the intention of making you feel like you want to run through a wall within that world to conquer what or who is in front of you. Kyle, Jimmy, and Israel crafted some of my favorite riffs and leads on the record through this song. Arthur Rizk was a huge part of the construction of this song and helping us shape what I feel is a huge representation of what we wanted to come out of working with him. The end product of that collaboration is something I couldn't be more excited to share with the world."

Grinding full force since 2013, the band unleashed the EP The Axis of Equality in 2016, a split EP with Mortality Rate in 2017, and finally, their first full-length record Surface Noise with Closed Casket Actitives in 2019. Along the way, they also shared stages with a wide variety of bands, including Vein, Power Trip, The Acacia Strain, Exhumed, and Gatecreeper, to name a few.
 
Citing influences such as Slayer's God Hates Us All and Chimaira's The Impossibility of Reason as well as "a ton of Machine Head," their vision crystallized in 2021. They recorded what would become Flesh + Blood with producer Arthur Rizk [Power Trip, Cavalera Conspiracy] in August of 2021 before Will Putney [Body Count, Vein] handled mixing and mastering.
  
In the end, Judiciary rule a world of their own now and forever. "We want this music to take you to the world that we’ve built with it," Kyle says. "To feel it, visualize it, see it how we see it — to us, there would be nothing better."

UNFELLED Reveals New Song, "Veil of Perdition"

Pagan black metal project UNFELLED (ft. members of WOODS OF DESOLATION, DRUDKH, AUSTERE) will be releasing its debut full-length, 'Pall of Endless Perdition,' on March 10, 2023 via Season of Mist Underground Activists! The band is now sharing a lyric video for the brand new single, "Veil of Perdition," which can be found below.

UNFELLED offers no comment on this song, instead allowing the lyrics to speak on their own.

Pre-orders for 'Pall of Endless Perdition' are now available HERE.
Pre-save the album on streaming services HERE.

Emerging Pagan black metal project Unfelled is rising from the underground to release its debut full-length, ‘Pall of Endless Perdition.’ Designed by the same mastermind behind Woods of Desolation, the project serves as a vicious and violent counterpart to its elegant and melodic predecessor, showcasing muti-instrumentalist D.’s impressive musical duality. 

Formed in 2016 as a project of D. (Woods of Desolation, Remete), Unfelled first emerged with the solo demo offering ‘Beneath Distant Skies’ at the end of 2017. Expanding the line-up in 2020, fellow veterans Mitch (Austere, Dearthe) and Vlad (Drudkh, Windswept) were enlisted on vocals and drums respectively, completing the vision for the band.  

Moving forward as a three-piece, the forthcoming full-length sees Unfelled pursuing heavier, more aggressive territory, yet never entirely eschewing the sense of melody and atmosphere established on the debut demo. “Musically weaving together fury and triumph, aggression and melody, the lyrics predominately center on bloodshed, war & death – the threefold cloak beneath which lies eternal darkness,” says Unfelled about the offering. 

Now, upon joining forces with Season of Mist, Unfelled is ready to unleash ‘Pall of Endless Perdition.’ Without question, this record is certain to leave its black mark upon the masses.

STONED JESUS Reveals New Song, "Get What You Deserve"

Ukrainian psychedelic rock trio STONED JESUS will release its new album, 'Father Light,' on March 3, 2023 via Season of Mist, making it the band's debut to the label! The band is now sharing the sludgy new song, "Get What You Deserve," which can be heard below!

Lead vocalist and guitarist Igor Sydorenko comments on the track: "We previewed 'Get What You Deserve' live on our autumn dates in 2022 and all the people absolutely loved it, even without hearing the studio version first! I love how the first and the last parts are almost the same riff, but then you also have this weird atmospheric breakdown in the middle. The lyrics were written with an environmental message in mind, but I guess they could be taken differently now...Either way, please enjoy this track and expect it to be the main set closer during our 'Father Light' tour!"

For those who might be unfamiliar with STONED JESUS, the band is well-known for their explosive single, "I Am The Mountain," which reached a whopping 15 million views on YouTube! The iconic clip can be found HERE.

STONED JESUS recently announced their appearance on the mighty Hellfest of 2023! More information on tours/festival for 2023 will be announced on a later stage.

Ukrainian prog-stoner trio STONED JESUS held their first rehearsal since the Russian invasion in the middle of July 2022. It was a moment the band dubbed as “surreal” and justifiably so — the regular ritual of band practice was made impossible by the war. The members of STONED JESUS — Igor Sydorenko (vocals/guitar), Sergii Sliusar (bass) and Dmytro Zinchenko (drums) — captured the moment for their social media channels. A broad smile of defiance and satisfaction can be seen on their faces. Regardless of the senseless havoc and destruction reaped upon their homeland, STONED JESUS would play on. It was the resumption of a music career temporarily thwarted but not defeated by evil.
 
Since 2009, STONED JESUS has served as one of Ukraine’s leading forces in heavy rock. Sydorenko, a veteran of the Ukrainian music scene, formed the band after stumbling upon some heavy and angry riffs that would become the song “Occult.” He fed off his Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin influences and was soon turned onto Electric Wizard and Sleep, two bands who mastered the art of bold, lurching heaviness, thus creating a sonic template to abide by.
 
The band was initially dubbed “STONED JESUS from the Outer Space” but shortened to the much crisper Stoned Jesus. The name was trimmed down out of necessity — Sydorenko wanted to legitimize the band immediately. “I realized that this may cause some problems,” he told the Psychedelic Baby webzine in 2010. “Some people wouldn’t take our music seriously, then. I don’t mind jokes and having fun, but music is always the most serious thing for me.”
 
Two demos ensued before STONED JESUS’s debut LP, 2010’s First Communion. Recorded in two hours, First Communion was a promising offering that dove headlong into the world of heavy stoner rock, with three songs going over the ten-minute mark for hypnotic effect. The album eventually saw a proper reissue in 2020, introducing it to a new group of fans. Seven Thunders Roar followed in 2012 and included “I’m the Mountain,” a 16-minute epic jam that has since become a live staple. The album also introduced a bevy of acoustic guitar and softer vocal approaches from Sydorenko.
 
The Harvest came next in 2015, deftly transitioning Stoned Jesus from sludge into new terrain, including alternative and progressive rock. This is a credit to Sydorenko’s evolving songwriting style and desire to never allow STONED JESUS to repeat itself. “It works brilliantly for the likes of Motörhead or AC/DC, but we’re not that legendary yet,” he told Outlaws of the Sun webzine in 2015. “So, let’s experiment, shall we? Let’s play with the genres, the sound, the song structures, the melodies, the timings — yes, my favorite trick!”
 
Pilgrim came next in 2018, which until now, has been the band’s career-defining moment. Stoned Jesus’s original plans were to record its follow-up in 2020. That, of course, was sidelined by the pandemic. The band then entered Spivaki Records in Kharkiv in July 2021 to record nine songs at 75 minutes. Two-thirds of the material was mixed and mastered before the invasion, leaving the final run-time of six songs at 43 minutes.
 
The result is Father Light, the band’s first for Season of Mist. The album catches Stoned Jesus in full bloom. The foundational elements of STONED JESUS’s sound remain (fuzzed-out rock, driving bass lines and maximum groove) and are once again augmented by the combination of Sydorenko’s gentle clean vocals and hook-laden chorus choices, along with an array of ornamental guitar melodies. And, in true STONED JESUS fashion, the journey is often the reward: The cuts on Father Light expand and shift — all the while, the band’s trademark heaviness serves as the guide.
 
STONED JESUS subsequently resumed live activity in July 2022 with European festival dates and runs with countrymen (and labelmates) Somali Yacht Club and then VOVK. The shows provided the band the opportunity to air two of the songs that would end up on Father Light: “Con” and “Porcelain.” Moreover, the dates were an outlet for the band to connect with waiting audiences who supported their music and cause of raising money to help those impacted by the war.
 
The idea that music is the ultimate escape has never rung truer in light of what happened to Ukraine in 2022. The prospect of brighter days lies ahead, making the Father Light album title even more appropriate.

As 2022 drew to a close, the members of STONED JESUS posted their final message for the year, epitomizing their resilience and optimism:
 
All the missiles in the world can’t destroy freedom. Nothing will stop truth.

107 ROCK WBRR -THE GATOR

"Interesting vocal post-metal. The gloomy Atmosphere and the well-thought-out cover were very enjoyable. A powerful composition that captivates and catches the listener." - Rate It

"The dark grungy energy really fits my mood today. your guitarist went crazy with the riffs, the mix is well-controlled between all the high dynamics of vocals and guitars." - Rate It

Fire Follows' newest single "SAY WORDS" is a follow-up to Fire Follows prior releases "Shedding This Skin" and "The Puppeteer". Artist Chris Watt, the founder of Fire Follows, has been working diligently on a project that brings a sound in full round. Every single release is building on top of the other. The full impact is what Watt and his band will be bringing out on tour, from March 16, 2023, through April 2, 2023. Fire Follows will be on the road with Smile Empty Soul and Tantric (dates below).

Each single builds upon the other creating a power-metal force at each step! Chris Watt (Fire Follows) continues to team up with leading producers as he makes music he believes in. Following his last single "The Puppeteer" and "Shedding This Skin", we find the journey continuing to build now with "SAY WORDS". This isn't your ordinary convergence of metal parts - this is an entire mechanically and passionately working entity.

Writing/Tracking/Production: Chris Watt

Mix Engineer: Landon Hook

Mastering Engineer: Chris Henderson

ABOUT:

Fire Follows is the passion project of singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Chris Watt. Located in Colorado Springs, CO, Chris does all writing and recording at his home studio... or probably more appropriately referred to as a studio home at this point. Since its inception in 2019, Fire Follows has continued morphing and evolving. Originally with just Chris, to the eventual involvement and contribution of outside musicians, and now swinging back to more of a solo project, the Fire Follows model is very fluid, and will continue to remain flexible as touring and new material will inevitably require contributions from other players. Chris's goal is very simple... get as many ears to hear the music as possible.



In Chris's own words, "There are roughly 8 billion people on the planet, right? So the goal is simple, get all 8 billion to hear the music from Fire Follows. I have no interest in making a penny from FF. These songs are literally pieces of my soul, and there is something so powerful about not only sharing that with the world but trying to create an experience that pulls the listener into the energetic space in which each song was created. I always encourage fans to listen to the songs multiple times as they are written in layers, and it takes multiple listens to really get the full effect and experience those layers fully."

Fire Follows is continuing to release new singles throughout 2023 and you will find them on tour with SMILE EMPTY SOUL AND TANTRIC.

MEGAZILLION Reveals Trippy, Official Music Video for “Sheep Of Doom” off of New Album, 'Triple Phoenix'!

Baltimore, MD based Alternative Rock artist and multi-instrumentalist MEGAZILLION has released the surreal, official music video for his single "Sheep of Doom." Shot by "Mike," Triple Phoenix was recorded and mixed at The Hot Box in Baltimore by MEGAZILLION himself.

Purchase / Stream "Sheep of Doom" Online

"Megazillion has struggled with sleep his whole life. From nightmares and sleepwalking as young as 3, from sleep paralysis, recurring haunted visions, restless legs and good old fashioned anxiety, this song and video try to find catharsis in it’s expression and creation and maybe is enough to connect with those that also struggle with this. That or just get down with the banger!" -Megazillion

Purchase / Stream 'Triple Phoenix' Online

Megazillion is an artist/musician in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. The project officially began in early 2020 under the dome of Covid lockdown. Paul “Megazillion” Joyce has a well worn resume of underground but significant bands and over a decade of work as a film composer and had some loose MZ demoes going back as far as 2017. Film work and other band commitments (F City, Dark Water Transit, Compression, Consumer Culture, Mondawmen) kept MZ on the shelf. Once lockdown hit the realization came rather fast that it was time to finally put this epic project into motion.

Late summer 2020 they began putting together the first official album “Triple Phoenix”. Recorded and mixed by Megazillion, the process took a year and half. 30 minutes of 7 tracks (one being the 12 minute “We All Wanna Belong”) ranging from Shoegaze, Krautrock, Post Punk, Electro, Industrial, Alternative and even a little doom thrown in, the mixes are very dense, huge even. Lots of layering and interesting colors. Then it was mastered in 2022 at the famous Abbey Road Studios by Alex Wharton (Pixies, My Bloody Valentine) and released December 2022 on Big Curve Music. Initial feedback has been absolutely stellar.

To celebrate the release, the now official five member live band, had a very successful album release at the famous Ottobar in Baltimore, MD. To further grow interest in the album and to build a strong following the band is planning to play anywhere it can in 2023. Also, a series of videos for “Triple Phoenix” are in production with the first being a video for the stirring track “Sheep of Doom”.

Megazillion also produces almost all the video content for the various releases on the Megazillion Youtube channel.

Watch out. We got plans.

Click to Purchase / Stream "Above the Storm" Online

Pre-Order 'Missing Link' via WURMgroup Online

Psychedelic rock artist Intrepid Bloom hails from Philadelphia, and cultivates its sound from being a lifelong musician and songwriter. A guitarist, bassist, keyboardist and vocalist, Intrepid Bloom weaves them together in an aggressive, psychedelic manner.

The new album Missing Link is a mental ride from start to finish; mixing gritty guitar riffs and vocals, hammering drums, dirty bass, and psychedelic vibes. Missing Link is released under the WURMgroup record label, and was mixed and mastered by Ulrich Wild.

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

KING 810 Releases New EP 'Follow My Tears' to all major platforms! On Tour This Spring with Alphawolf!

Stream/Download King 810 HERE

American heavy metal band KING 810 released their new EP Follow My Tears to all major platforms on January 23, 2023 via King Nation! The band will be on a European/UK tour dubbed The Steppin’ Over Roaches Tour this spring with Alphawolf in support.

In addition, the band will be playing Bloodstock Open Air in Catton Park, Derbyshire this August!

"Over the past year I have been mentally unstable. My intentions have not been as focused as they are typically. This wasn't obvious until I reviewed the fifty songs me and Josh wrote over the recent couple years. Only then did I realize there wasn't the concept of a whole record here. Instead the songs played as smaller groups of frenzied schizophrenic fits. So it is likely we will come with several EPs over the year because of this. I don't think of it as any less of a release it just feels like the best way to deliver the songs," says David Gunn about Follow My Tears.

WATCH the official video for BRAINS ON THE ASPHALT, the first single from Follow My Tears:

Gunn adds, "This video is about digital technocracy. The demi gods that are the global hegemonies on the earth today and the religion it has grown into. The big tech hand that turns the dial influencing us to love the virtuous tribes we belong to and to hate the out-group of the "other". Most of all it about how much we hate ourselves..."

King 810 is an American metal band from Flint, Michigan formed in 2007. Hailing from a place infamous for its crime and poverty statistics, King 810 specialize in effusive slabs of nu-metal-infused modern hard rock with elements of experimental hip-hop and dark jazz. The band's first release was their independent EP titled Midwest Monsters in 2012, which earned them a signing with Roadrunner Records; they released their second EP titled Proem in 2014, and their Billboard-charting debut studio album Memoirs of a Murderer that same year. The following year the band would be the first metal group to collaborate with DJ Drama on a project entitled Midwest Monsters 2. The EP blended metal and rap in classic nu metal fashion and featured several hip hop artists including Grammy award winning Freddie Gibbs. In 2016 the group released their sophomore LP entitled La Petite Mort or a Conversation with God followed by an acoustic project entitled Queen. In 2018 the group would go independent for the release of their most experimental album Suicide King only to return to form with 2020’s apocalyptic AK Concerto No. 47, 11th Movement in G Major.

OMEGA INFINITY Launches New Song, "Death Rays"

Void metal outfit OMEGA INFINITY, the project of Xenoyr (NE OBLIVISCARIS) and Tentakel P. (TODTGELICHTER), is firing off "Death Rays," the brand new single ft. guest vocalist Lindsay Schoolcraft! The song is taken from the band's upcoming full-length, 'The Anticurrent.' Step into the galactic void and listen at THIS LOCATION and watch the video Below.

OMEGA INFINITY comments: "The life cycle of the universe comes to a close. Stars are dying. Cosmos devouring itself. Piercing rays of light incinerating all that is left. Everything that ever was implodes into one supermassive Black Hole. The next Big Bang is imminent and the cycle will start again. We will see you on the other side of The Void soon!"

ICYMI: The band previously revealed a mind-boggling 360° VR music video for the first single, "Iron Age," which can be found HERE.

"The Anticurrent" is due on February 24 and can be pre-saved HERE pre-ordered HERE.

OMEGA INFINITY: The story of the endless cycle of birth and death told on a cosmic scale, being viewed from The Void that permeates the whole existence.
The debut album “Solar Spectre” (released in 2020 by Season Of Mist) created a dark and disturbing soundtrack for a journey through our own solar system, combining furious Black Metal of the 90‘s, harsh electronic and menacing ambient sounds with ancient growls and screams and gathered overwhelmingly positive press and fan response when it was first unleashed upon earth.

Not content with only one small statement and following their greater vision for The Void, Tentakel P. (TODTGELICHTER) and Xen (NE OBLIVISCARIS/ ANTIQVA) had already finished their sophomore album at that time, with only the pandemic preventing the vocal recordings and thus an earlier release. 

“The Anticurrent” unleashed a very different view of The Void unto the listener. Rather than the blackness of space, the second album explores Time: From the Big Bang and the chaotic birth of the universe, the album’s focus moves through the rise and fall of human civilisation, while zooming back out to a cosmic scale to witness the inevitable end of the universe in the menacing finale. 

No OMEGA INFINITY album would be complete without cover versions (SEAR BLISS and EMPEROR) and the addition of friends as guests to the ensemble: Heralding The End together with the band are (in order of appearance) Adrienne Cowan (SEVEN SPIRES/ AVANTASIA), Lindsay Schoolcraft (ANTIQVA/ ex-CRADLE OF FILTH), Andras Nagy (SEAR BLISS) and Marta J. Braun (TODTGELICHTER/ VYRE).

If you ever wanted to know how a myriad of Black Holes devouring themselves in a time distortion sound – look no further than OMEGA INFINITY’s sophomore album “The Anticurrent”!

Renowned melodic death metal band WOLFHEART has unleashed their latest and greatest creation with the official video for their explosive single, "Fires of the Fallen", taken from the recently-released full-length album, 'King of the North', now available via Napalm Records.

With its devastating riffs, potent instrumentals and soul-stirring vocals, the song demonstrates their insatiable passion for the genre. The accompanying music video masterfully captures the intense and climactic energy of the album’s conclusion, immersing viewers in the pulse-pounding world of 'King of the North'.

With the release of the album and their recent European tour, WOLFHEART has proven time and time again that they are a force to be reckoned with in the metal world.

WOLFHEART’s statement:        

"After waiting for 4 long years and having several tours and plans cancelled it is finally time to bring the Finnish winter storm to the stages of North America. There is no better way to start 2023 than being on the road in NA and with awesome company of Fleshgod Apocalypse, Obscura and Thulcandra!"

Discover distant realms of northern mythology with melodic death triumph 'King of the North'!

Each song on 'King of the North' is dedicated to a different story of Finnish mythology – underlined by WOLFHEART’s grand, crushing songwriting and production. “The King”, for instance, tells the tale of the forest god with horns and pianos accompanying heavy guitar riffs and solos, before raising the energy levels once more on the relentless “Cold Flame” featuring Karl Sanders. “Ancestor” is the album’s most frostbitten anthem, unleashing WOLFHEART’s acclaimed brand of crushing blast beasts and cutting-edge vocal performances alongside guest Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage.

'King of the North' is a true masterpiece of melodic death metal, crafted with loads of attention to detail and intricate mythology-driven storytelling – showcasing WOLFHEART at never-before-heard artistic levels!

Tuomas Saukkonen on 'King of the North':         

"After 'Wolves of Karelia', it made a lot of sense to continue writing thematic albums, but this time I wanted to travel a lot further in history than the Second World War and went straight to tales about creation of the Nordic world, ancient gods of the north and majestic nature. The colorful theme also inspired me to write the musically most diverse WOLFHEART album and also bring the biggest variation of vocals than ever before, putting Lauri and Vageliss in their well-earned spotlight."

Deathcore Quintet OSIAH Releases Brutal New EP 'Chronos' via Unique Leader Records

Deathcore quintet Osiah have released their new EP 'Chronos' (via Unique Leader Records).Speaking on today's release, the band shared:

"'Chronos' is our first EP since our debut release in 2015 with ‘Reborn Through Hate’. This record gave us a chance to really experiment with our sound, utilizing all the creative elements that have inspired us musically over the years. Each track has its own separate flare and feel, and we have found ourselves maturing creatively since the process. We hope you all enjoy, as we feel we are always attaining to find the true audial representation of who we are as artists, and it’s now spearheaded by this upcoming release, we hope you’re as excited as we are in our sound to come."

Hailing from the extreme music melting pot that is the northeast of England, Osiah transcends the deathcore label with what could possibly be the most torturous barrage of filth the UK has produced in recent years. Crushingly intense breakdowns and deathly chops tread a familiar path, but jarringly detuned guitars, unpredictable tempo changes and vocals that range from wide-ranging pitched screams to commanding guttural bowel openers add an extra evil to the sound that cannot be put into words.

After releasing their first EP 'Reborn Through Hate' in 2015, Osiah released their first full-length album ‘Terror Firma’ in June 2016 via Siege Music. The album gained praise from Metal Hammer Magazine, Bloody Disgusting, and many other prestigious publications, cementing the band as the hottest and heaviest band on the UK deathcore scene.

The resulting work lead to the band signing to Unique Leader Records in 2018 and releasing their sophomore album 'Kingdom of Lies' in 2019. In 2021, Osiah released their third album 'Loss' and have now unleashed their latest EP 'Chronos' out onto the world.

Osiah is:

Ricky Lee Roper (vocals)

Chris Keepin (guitars)

Andy Mallaby (Guitars)

Carl Dunn (Bass)

Danny Yates (Drums)
