Resolve Share "Death Awaits" Video — WATCH

RESOLVE have today returned with their brand new single "Death Awaits," out now via Arising Empire. It's a track that is both positive and beautifully brutal all at the same time. It follows the band's debut album Between Me and The Machine and sets out a new era for Resolve, with a relentless touring schedule ahead.

Watch the video below

Bassist Robin Mariat says "'Death Awaits' is a creed. Down the line, we all end up the same, and that's something we should embrace and not fear. But while death is — at least in our society — often perceived as something sad and solemn, our track is nearly the opposite: upbeat and ferocious with an hopeful chorus. Creating the music video for this song was the most fun we've had in ages. We gathered about 100 fans and friends, and celebrated our love for life the only way we know how: By beating our skulls to the sound of music together. We especially cannot wait to play this track live on our upcoming European tour starting next week!"

"Death Awaits" is released ahead of the bands forthcoming co-headline tour with Siamese, kicking off on March 31. RESOLVE will also be supporting heavyweights While She Sleeps across Europe in May and will be appearing at this years Hellfest in July.

Ever since their public reveal in February 2017 with the debut single "Exposed," the quartet has been eager to show their peers that they won't settle for anything but greatness. They started out opening shows for Architects, Every Time I Die, and While She Sleeps to name a few.

RESOLVE released their debut album Between Me and The Machine in 2021 and had support from the likes of Kerrang! Magazine, Rock Sound, Metal Hammer and Kerrang! Radio, while their tracks were rightfully placed on Spotify editorial playlists like New Core, New Metal and Kickass Metal.

RESOLVE ARE:
Anthony Diliberto — Vocals
Antonin Carré — Guitar
Robin Mariat — Bass
Nathan Mariat — Drums

The band also releases the punishing video for their first single, "Hell Hounds." directed by Justin H. Reich.  Watch below.

Texas Hippie Coalition is often compared to the many great Southern Rock and Texas bands that came before them.  But they are proving to the world that THC is not just following in their footsteps, they are leaving giant footprints.  THC has etched out a place for themselves in the multi-genre fields of music, and have also created their own genre, "Red Dirt Metal."  You have to hear it to understand it.  Words are not enough to convey how powerfully big their sound is.

BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE Shares Bass Play-Through for "Glory to the King"

Progressive rock trio BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE is now sharing the bass play-through for their recently released single, "Glory to the King!" The song is taken from the band's forthcoming full-length, 'Tempus Veritas,' due on April 14, 2023! The clip can be found below.

Pre-orders are now available HERE. The album can be pre-saved on various digital platforms HERE.

BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE create huge, memorable rock music that combines heavy-hitting savagery with intense melodic beauty. Their technical, fearlessly complex grooves and gigantic sing-along choruses have already earned them a widespread fanbase.
 
A ferociously tight live band, BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE have toured Europe and the UK extensively, supporting Skunk Anansie, HED p.e, INME and Black Map as well as festival slots at Download, Standon Calling and Planet Rockstock. Black Orchid Empire have sealed the bands reputation as a force to be reckoned with.
 
Having released their debut album ‘Archetype’ (2016) to universal acclaim, BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE signed with German label Long Branch Records to release the follow up albums ‘Yugen’ (2018) and ‘Semaphore’ (2020). Both albums received stellar reviews and over 3,000,000+ combined streams.
 
“Tempus Veritas” is a collection of stories that seeks to find compelling imaginary narratives hidden away in what we all think of as history.  Behind every milestone or major event in humanity’s long, complex past lies a treasure trove of possibilities for invention - how did Pope Urban VIII feel when confronted by his friend Galileo about the true nature of the sun?  What really happened during an almost triumphant but ultimately doomed Everest attempt? What was it like to be a Norse settler amongst the Saxons; did the omens of the ancient gods begin to disappear?
 
In approaching “Tempus Veritas”, BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE sought collectively to push themselves both musically and thematically. Their pursuit of heaviness, melody, emotional power and rhythmic complexity has pushed them to create something they‘re immensely proud of. “Semaphore” was an album of Sci-Fi, this is an album of Hi-Fi. Tempus Veritas.

Randall King Ushers in His Neon Era with "Green Eyes Blue," Out Now

Warner Music Nashville recording artist Randall King’s music is bound to keep people “two-stepping on the dance floor” as noted by CMT, and with his latest release, “Green Eyes Blue,” the Texas native continues to do just that. Ushering in what can only be described as his “neon era of country music”– with tunes that are best enjoyed while swaying under the neon haze at a local honky tonk – “Green Eyes Blue,” written by King and Randy Montana, finds him in awe with the taming of his once wild heart. Listen below.
 
Debuting the song for the first time from the Grand Ole Opry stage last week (March 15) during his second Opry appearance – exactly one year after making his debut in 2022 – made its meaning even more special. The song finds King acknowledging his wayward past while displaying a vulnerable side and sense of astonishment with the power of the love which saved him:
 
        I was running around all over town
        Fences couldn’t keep me in
        All my buddies said I’d be lucky
        If I could outrun my sins
        It’s like I was saved from the hell I raised
        When my gaze locked on you 
        Said I’d hate to make 
        Those green eyes blue
 
“I wrote this a couple years back with Randy Montana about this great green eyed girl I know," shares King. "It’s about being a better man and leaving your wild ways behind to not hurt the one you love.”
 
Fresh off a performance at London’s celebrated C2C Festival, King recently announced he will continue his international trek this fall with the addition of new European tour dates. Known for his road warrior diet of over 150 dates each year touring across the United States, the hustling King will carry the fall leg of his tour through seven new cities in 2023, with stops in London, Manchester and Glasgow in the U.K. and Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and Cologne in Germany.

About Randall King:
One of country’s new crop of modern traditionalists, Warner Music Nashville artist Randall King grew up on the endless plains of West Texas – and his sound is steeped in their timeless beauty with a mix of grit and grace. He grew up singing in the back of a ‘93 Chevy Suburban, mimicking the pure-country vocals of stars like Keith Whitley, George Strait, Alan Jackson and John Anderson and over the years became drawn to the electrifying energy of modern stars like Eric Church, Dierks Bentley and Jason Aldean. After years of hustling and a road-warrior’s diet of 150 shows each year, King produced and released the defiant 2016 EP, Another Bullet, then followed up with a 2018 self-titled album. Now, King is bringing an organic, timeless sound to country’s mainstream with his major label debut album Shot Glass. The 11-song collection, seven of which were co-written by King, centers around a night out at a bar, with each track representing a different point of view of those in the room. The album was named to Whiskey Riff’s Top 40 Country Albums of 2022 and Billboard’s All Genre 50 Best Albums of 2022 (So Far), making him the only male country artist to make the list. With over 200+ million career streams to his name, the 2023 Music Mayhem Magazine and 2022 Pandora and Country Now Country Artist to Watch is looking to the anywhere-and-everywhere future with music that captures the essence of a Western poet who’s never been afraid to be himself.

The return of the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade follows Primus’ wildly popular ‘A Tribute To Kings’ Tour,

Paying tribute to Rush, which toured the country in 2022. Last year also saw the release of Primus’ first new music in more than five years, the sprawling 3-song ‘Conspiranoid’ EP, which included the epic 11-minute opening track, “Conspiranoia,” and second single, “Follow The Fool.”

Alpha Wolf Announce Lo-Fi "Shh" EP + Video For "60cm of Steel" — WATCH

Melbourne-based metalcore powerhouse Alpha Wolf offer listeners a mellow counterpart to a collection of thrashing originals on their forthcoming lo-fi EP, Shh, out March 31 via Greyscale Records/Sharptone Records. Pre-order the new EP here.

The band has shared "60cm of Steel" in the lead up.

Watch the video below

Created in collaboration with Mik, Alpha Wolf slow things down on the five-track EP, re-imagining fan favorites "60cm of Steel," "Spirit Breaker," "Golden Fate Gut Ache," "Don't Ask," and "Bleed 4 You" as down-tempo, beat-heavy chill tunes. Doused in twinkling soundscapes and atmospheric ambiance, Alpha Wolf unveil a new dimension to their punishing legacy that sets out to appeal to the unsuspecting.

"We think lo-fi as a genre is a great breakaway from our usual heavy tunes and it's something we can show our family at Christmas without getting odd looks," the band shares.

In contrast to the mosh lords lo-fi offering, Alpha Wolf will indulge in their bread and butter this weekend playing Australia's inaugural Knotfest alongside huge names from the likes of Slipknot, Parkway Drive, Megadeth, and more. The sold out festival will travel through Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane beginning this Friday March 24. In addition, this week the band also announces their place as Tasmania's headline act on UNIFY Off The Record in June. Tickets are on sale now.

Over the last few years, the juggernauts known as Alpha Wolf have proven they are a fierce force to be reckoned with. 2020 saw the release of their sophomore album a quiet place to die, which was the culmination of every lesson learned, every hit taken, and every loss felt; and it lead the band to a #6 charting spot on the ARIA charts and nomination for Best Heavy Album at the ARIA awards.

a quiet place to die is the end result of five individuals who have faced the fire and refuse to flinch, pouring their everything into making something they are truly proud of. Through all the chaos these last few years have been able to throw at the band, they've still managed to play multiple headlining runs of sold-out shows, secured places on some of the biggest festivals in Australia, and have their sights set on conquering the international scene. Alpha Wolf have shown that nothing this world can throw at them is going to stop them from tearing apart the metalcore scene.

SONS ON FIRE Release New Single "Collapse" via Curtain Call Records

"Sons On Fire prove why they are not afraid to tap into the emotions of mental health that so many deal with. The diversity of their songwriting can take you from the intensity of “Rise” into the darkness of “Collapse” and not miss a beat."

LA Lloyd/ LA Lloyd's Rock 30 Countdown

"Sons on Fire is on the "Rise" with their latest song "Collapse" to rock radio, it's a must add! " JZ MD 94Rocks KFML-Little Falls

"'Collapse' is the strongest single the guys in Sons On Fire have put out so far. This is a band that has found their sound and identity. I'm very excited to see what they do next!"

Ryan Fantozzi Morning DJ at WQLZ /Springfield, IL

“A band in charge and going for it full-throttle with the music goods to prove it.”

Wayne Benson at 107 ROCK WBRR - The Gator

Sons ON Fire release new single "Collapse" along with the official lyric video to all major platforms via Curtain Call Records. The single was produced and mixed by Joe Marlett (Blink 182, Switchfoot, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age).

“We feel this is the most wide appealing most commercial song we’ve written. It sheds a light on life’s everyday problems and how suicide is not the answer. Everybody has their own problems and issues and we just want everyone to know that help is just a phone call away. You are not alone," says the band's drummer Bill Nychay.

San Diego's own Sons ON Fire has quickly become known to fans around the world as a band bound and determined to make its mark among the heavy hitters of modern rock. You could hear it as their first singles "Faded" and "Just A Man" (Pavement Music) tore up the charts for almost a full year and they have now reloaded with the addition of vocal heavyweight Josh Marin and guitarist Shawn Morgan (formerly of Papercut Massacre/Wind-Up Records) along with founding members Trevor Edwards, Bill Nychay and JK MCKinney aka Johnny Fingerz (both formerly of Kicking K8/Crash Music/EMI).

This lethal combo has created a synergy resulting in an amazing new partnership with Curtain Call Records, huge performances ( Puddle of Mudd, Trapt, Tommy Vext, Black Top Mojo and Saving Abel) and culminated with the release of their first single “Rise”; an anthem for everyone looking to “Get Up and Rise” over whatever is keeping you from moving forward in life. The band has had tons of experience performing with heavy hitters Disturbed, Stone Sour, Seether, Black Label Societyand many more. They are influenced by the likes of Sevendust, Motley Crue, Jimi Hendrix, Staind, Chevelle and Three Days Grace.

This band has faced it and even been knocked down at times, but being knocked down does NOT mean knocked out. The great ones get up, dust themselves off, kick adversity in the teeth and push forward to “Rise” up bigger and better than ever. THAT is Sons ON Fire!

In this world today you can either “embrace” and overcome what the world throws at you or be “destroyed” and crushed by it. Sons ON Fire chose to “Get Up and Rise” in order to bring its new music to the people. Embrace THAT or get out of the damn way!

Show Dates:
March 23 @ Stockyard Rock Burger Bar in Rockford, IL
March 24 @ The Back Bar in Janesville, WI with the Lonely Ones
March 25 @ The Silver Bullet Bar and Grill in Pierz, MN
June 9 @ The Back Bar in Janesville, WI

ONICKS: paying homage to Britney Spears with "Toxic" release

LA-based singer, songwriter, and sinister-pop performance artist, ONICKS (they/them), is paying homage to Britney Spears with their first release of 2023, “Toxic.” An iconic song that’s already very dark and sexy, ONICKS was determined to recreate it with their own vision. ONICKS elaborates; “I studied many iconic hits from the 80’s in order to get my accent as authentic as possible. My producer Jakaval (Jordie Arrieta) created the PERFECT ONICKS meets the 80’s track. We made sure to use some of Britney's signature musical accents throughout, while also recreating this song to be even darker than the original, in true ONICKS fashion.”


“Toxic” came to fruition when Streamy Award Winner Brandon Rogers asked ONICKS to create a cover for his new YouTube series, “Bryce.” In addition, for the first time in his career Brandon will be co-starring in the upcoming music video for “Toxic,” directed by Liam Krug. ONICKS; an artist who has emerged from the well of despair to bring hope to those that are on the same or parallel journeys. Being a strong voice for others to receive inspiration from has always been a shining light throughout any project ONICKS takes on. Merging the worlds of Electropop, Alternative R&B, Trap, and Pop to form their own genre coined: “Sinister-POP” - they are defining a new sound featuring raw and mesmerizing lyrics which appeal to all generations, sexualities, genders, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. “Blurring the lines between masculine and feminine is my entire DNA. I don’t make music for “he, she, straight, gay, etc”…I make music that any human can sing for themselves” ONICKS states.

Growing up in California and Colorado, ONICKS was influenced by many artists, each playing a transformative role in their development. The femininity of Prince, the hypnotizing writing style of Lana Del Rey, the bluntness of The Weeknd, and the visual chameleon that is Rihanna led ONICKS to where they are now. However, the narrative of their life took a tragic turn as ONICKS succumbed to the temptation of hard drugs at an early age. Rejected by the mainstream music scene at 19 because they were not yet a fully “recognized” artist, and struggling with their sexuality, femininity, and image; they were fuelled by the desire to escape their personal circumstance. Drugs offered a false reality of hope and survival, but it was music that saved their soul. It offered ONICKS the emotional strength to change their life as they were battling with anxiety, depression, and addiction. Now, after experimenting with countless genres, a true realized artist arises from the ashes of their own self-destruction.

About Tigirlily Gold:
Sister duo Tigirlily Gold has been playing music together since they could walk, and officially formed their band in high school. Growing up, they crisscrossed the mid-west, growing a fierce fan base and selling out amphitheaters across their home-state of North Dakota. After moving to Nashville, they landed a weekly residence at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row on Nashville’s famed lower Broadway. Playing four-hour sets, three to four nights a week, the sisters developed a performance style that’s not only captivating and fun but shows just how much entertaining is in their blood.
 
After releasing their original song “Somebody Does,” in 2021, the track topped the iTunes chart and Tigirlily Gold was signed to Monument Records. They released their self-titled, debut EP in July 2021, working with multi-Grammy Award Winner Shane McAnally, and hit the road with artists Walker Hayes and Ashley McBryde.

If you haven’t heard this record, it is GWAR’s most conceptual and hardest rocking album in ages and features the solid scorcher "Berserker Mode", the metal blast of "The Cutter", and speedrock classic "Ratcatcher", just to name a few highlights.

IMMORTAL - Release Brand New Single 'War Against All' + New Album War Against All Out On May 26th

IMMORTAL have completed work on their upcoming new studio album, War Against All, due to be released on May 26th via Nuclear Blast Records. The band’s 10th studio album will feature 8 new songs in the classic, frostbitten IMMORTAL style. Today, IMMORTAL release their first song, the album title track 'War Against All', delivering just what fans have been waiting for - classic IMMORTAL Blashyrkh Metal!

Listen to 'War Against All' here: https://immortal.bfan.link/waasg.ema 
Watch the Lyric Video for 'War Against All below.
Pre-Order War Against All here: https://immortal.bfan.link/waalp.ema

The band ́s founder Demonaz stated about the title track:
“War Against All was the first track I wrote for this album. It’s a fast one where the riffs are mostly inspired by my riffs from Battles in the North.
The lyrics are in the true Blashyrkh battle feel and mood for an opening track too. The frosty, raw, and fast battle songs in this style mean everything to 
me. I will never forget the early years, or disappoint the fans with slowing down the pace.”
 
Demonaz offers some more background on the process of making War Against All:
“Even though the studio work is necessary to get an ultimate recording, the writing process is obviously my favorite. I still write all the guitar riffs/music at home with the same old vibe, and the lyrics as well. The early days of black metal inspire me the most. Cold nights in the woods, on the mountains under the winter moon. That´s what keeps the spirit alive, and the foundation to all our music."
 
The album was produced in Bergen, Norway, at Earshot & Conclave Studios.
"It´s actually the same studio where I recorded the guitars and vocals for Northern Chaos Gods. They also did a great job with the new album, and it was a pleasure to go back and work there again. I am especially pleased with the outcome on this one. It´s got that cold-biting guitar sound, yet powerful production.

IMMORTAL have never compromised on the original vision, which is taking fans on a journey through Blashyrkh with our most grim and dark music, with every new release. These songs are no exception to this. I am proud of the final result, it ́s got a distinct expression, and I can ́t wait to let the fans hear it!” 

The album’s cover artwork was done by the Swedish artist Mattias Frisk.

About IMMORTAL:
IMMORTAL, from the Norwegian town Bergen, established themselves as one of the most important black metal bands in the world. Formed by Demonaz (guitars) and Abbath (bass/vocals) in 1990, the band released their first three albums, Diabolical Fullmoon MysticismPure Holocaust, and Battles In The North during the years 1992-1995. The very first records established and defined the musical style the band became infamous for.

The band then released the Blizzard Beasts album in 1997. Shortly after, Demonaz was diagnosed with a shoulder injury. He still continued to work with the band but stopped playing guitar live. Abbath changed from bass to guitar, and the band continued with different bass players over the years, releasing the albums At The Heart Of Winter(1999), Damned In Black (2000), and Sons Of Northern Darkness (2002).

In 2003 the band was put on ice, but returned to the stage in 2007 and did several headline appearances and tours across Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. All Shall Fall was released in 2009, followed by further massive festival shows and additional concerts worldwide.

In 2015, IMMORTAL and ex-singer/guitarist Abbath went their separate ways.

In 2018, IMMORTAL returned with Demonaz performing on guitar once again, and as the band´s vocalist, releasing its 9th studio album, Northern Chaos Gods, which was very well received by both fans and the press.

Come 2023, IMMORTAL sees Demonaz releasing War Against All, the band´s 10th studio album. The record has been composed and performed by Demonaz, featuring some session members, like in earlier recordings. The album was produced by Arve Isdal, and recorded at Conclave & Earshot Studio in Bergen, Norway by Herbrand Larsen and Arve Isdal. The album was mastered by Iver Sandøy at Solslottet.

Art of Shock Drop "2020v" Video — WATCH

Hollywood's ART OF SHOCK — frontman Art Geezar, lead guitarist Nicholas Ertel, bassist Brice Snyder, and drummer Adrian Geezar — have dropped their video for "2020v."

The track has quite a topical message.

"This song was written during the first few weeks of the pandemic lockdowns," the band says. "Rich, poor or famous, politician thief or mattress salesman. In 2020, all  humans were democratically sentenced, our lives disrupted in a way we hadn't seen since the last great war. The world grinded to a halt and became a prison as we faced a new and invisible enemy, wondering if we brought this on ourselves."

 "2020v" was produced by Taylor Young and accompanied by a visually stunning music video directed by Vicente Cordero. It is a testament to Art of Shock's commitment to pushing the boundaries of the heavy metal genre. The song is the first single from the upcoming full length, due out later this year.

Art of Shock's first album, Dark Angeles, was produced by Mark Lewis and released by Century Media Records at the height of the COVID-19 lockdowns. Despite the challenging circumstances, the album was a testament to the band's drive and determination, eventually taking them across the U.S. and Canada and finding them sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in the heavy metal genre, including Sepultura, Crowbar, and Sacred Reich.

Fire of Aries Releases Official Music Video for Their Heavier, Re-Imagined Version of Seal's "Kiss from a Rose"

Brett Davis, the founder/vocalist/guitarist of the band Fire of Aries, released the official music video for his re-imagined version of Seal's "Kiss from a Rose". Brett's version, produced by Cameron Mizzell, can be described as heavy and melodic, while still being recognizable.

WATCH Fire of Aries - Kiss from a Rose (Official Music Video) below.

"The decision to create a rendition of 'Kiss from a Rose' dates back to 1995 when Batman Forever was released. I was just a kid then; I don’t even think I had a guitar. That song stuck with me. It was cinematic, emotional and catchy for its time. I gravitate to songs that tell a story or paint a scene in our imaginations. 'Kiss from a Rose' is also a bit cryptic and mysterious, which intrigues me. Fast-forward to 2023, I felt like it was the right time to release the song; at least it was in the running. I made the decision to step up to the big leagues and have Cameron Mizzell, a producer of several bands and artists that have influenced my music style and sound. I gave him a short list of songs I wanted to cover; he quickly gravitated to take on 'Kiss from a Rose.' I told him that our version had to be a significant departure but retain the framework of the original so you’d know what song it was when you heard it. He delivered and I had my ideas on what we could do to make it heavy and melodic, but Cam completely blew me away with the team he assembled to create this version. This rendition will always be unique to me as it's my way of immersing myself fully in the music industry and seeing what I can make of it. I have a passion for entertaining and helping people through life. That’s what music has done for me. I want to return the favor many bands and artists have afforded me with their music over the years. I will keep this flame lit for as long as I can to pursue creating heavy, cinematic and melodic music. I would love for this song to be featured in a future release of a Batman movie; maybe a dark and gritty one would fit perfectly. Only time will tell. I am optimistic that music fans will dig it. I look forward to performing it live and loud and hearing the crowd singing it with me," says Brett Davis.

Fire of Aries has been smoldering for the last 20 years and has reached the temperature where it has become combustible. In 2001, Brett Davis, the band's founder, began his journey to become an accomplished musician and artist in the Rock and Metal genres. The inspiration started from the early years of Creed, where Brett found his true passion for guitar and songwriting through watching Mark Tremonti release hit after hit and riff after riff.

As time progressed, Brett jammed with friends from high school, then joined an established band, August Ending/Burning Yesterday, where he recorded tracks for the first time with well-known producer Travis Wyrick (Pillar, 10 Years, Disciple). From that point, he became more influenced by music from American and European metal bands, which brought him to where he is today with Fire of Aries.

Fire of Aries has a rhythmic, melodic, thrashy and percussive sound and feel, influenced heavily by bands like: Sevendust, In Flames, Bullet For My Valentine, Slipknot,Killswitch Engage, Trivium and Memphis May Fire, to name a few. Brett's guitar and songwriter influences come from Andy James, Mark Tremonti, Chad Kroger, James Hetfield and Clint Lowrey. According to Brett Davis, "I want my influences of Rock, Metal and Country music to converge into a beautiful, chaotic harmony," he adds. "Fire of Aries is a musical experience with grit and weight to it." He says, "Through the songs I release, I want the 'real men,' 'the badasses' and 'the gangsters' to let down their guard, feel, experience and express their raw feelings again. In my generation and before, we were taught that boys don't cry and that we must be tough, strong and resilient in our lives; this leaves very little room to feel a plethora of other innate emotions as humans." He adds, "I want to create music with emotion, experience and substance. I envision each song as a screenplay of micro experiences or enlightenment in our lives." Brett references the screenplay idea as he has been an avid cinematographer for over a decade. Fire of Ariesis currently writing and recording music through 2023 and plans to embark on a tour in 2024, supporting bands and artists that have influenced the sound and the story.

Saint Agnes Announce New Album "Bloodsuckers" + Share Video For Title Track — WATCH

NEW ALBUM BLOODSUCKERS OUT JULY 21 VIA SPINEFARM

ALBUM FEATURES MIMI BARKS AND SEAN BEAVAN (NINE INCH NAILS)

Ferocious four-piece Saint Agnes return with new album Bloodsuckers, set for release on July 21 via Spinefarm. Pre-save the album here.

Today, they have unveiled the video for the album's raw title track.

Watch the video for "Bloodsuckers" below.

Hailing from the UK, Saint Agnes are all about honest lyrics and intense vocal performances, plus rage-fueled music intended to give a voice to those closer to the fringe than the center. With its violent riffs, venomous vocals, and punk attitude, the title track single serves as a no-holds-barred introduction to the Bloodsuckers album.

Vocalist Kitty A. Austen comments on the single and video, saying, "I wrote 'Bloodsuckers' when I couldn't take it anymore — when I decided to stop allowing people to crush me, to diminish me. I took my rage and my pain and used it as fuel and I burned. We are not defined by what has been done to us. We decide who we are. We choose who we want to be. We are whole. We are worthy. The video is an introduction to Team Bloodsuckers. Join us."

The band will then join Monster Magnet on their spring and summer European run, before returning to the UK to perform at 2000trees festival.

Saint Agnes are also excited to welcome new bassist Ryan Brown into the fold, replacing Ben Chernett.

As much gang as band, Saint Agnes seek to empower those who've been battered and bruised yet refuse to lie down, and it's a thread that runs deep within Bloodsuckers — SA's first album for Spinefarm and the follow-up to 2019's Welcome To Silvertown, issued on the band's own label.

In addition to … Silvertown, Saint Agnes have released a number of singles, videos, and EPs, embarked on headline tours in both the UK and Europe, and appeared at a host of festivals, including Download, 2000trees, Isle of Wight and Kendal Calling.

One thing's for sure, it's got nothing to do with rule-books or playing it safe...

From the title track onwards, Bloodsuckers is a genre-jumping body of work, taking in elements of metal, punk, industrial, and grunge, without being bound by any specific style; the 11 tracks here come straight from the source, largely self-produced and mixed (NIN collaborator Sean Bevan lends his mixing and production skills to "Follow You"), and this self-contained approach provides an extra emotional weight throughout, with doom trap provocateur and Kerrang! cover artist Mimi Barks further fuelling the chaos on the short, sharp shock that is "Body Bag."

Created in the months following the unexpected and untimely death of Kitty's mother, Bloodsuckers explores a number of themes, including mental illness, pent-up rage, undying love and, of course, grief; from the trash-metal howl into the night that is "Bloodsuckers" right through to broken ballad, "This Is Not The End," a poignant reflection of Kitty’s still-raw emotions, this is a call to outsiders everywhere...

Concludes Kitty, "Creating this album gave me a reason to get to my feet at a time when I really wasn't sure if I could. I've tried to put everything I've been feeling into it, all the pain, the rage, the grief, even the unexpected moments of beauty and belief. I hope it makes you feel less alone. I hope it makes you feel bigger, badder, and stronger. We might be damaged but that doesn't mean we're worthless. This is a record for the defeated, the crushed. We might be broken but that doesn't mean we're not whole. Bloodsuckers forever, Saint Agnes forever."

SAINT AGNES ARE:
Kitty A. Austen — Vocals, Guitar, Bass
Jon James Tufnell — Guitar, Vox, Bass

THY CATAFALQUE Announces New Album, Reveals First Song

Avant-garde project THY CATAFALQUE will be releasing its latest opus 'Alföld,' via Season of Mist on June 16, 2023. In celebration, THY CATAFALQUE is now releasing the very first track "Néma vermek," along with a dark and thought-provoking music video. The video can be found below.

Mastermind Tamás Kátai comments: "Alföld is the most straight forward and classic extreme metal album the project ever recorded. This time I just wanted to do metal without any innovation or progression, focusing on songs and riffs rather than experimenting and breaking new grounds. Had to let the old ideas out, so I did it with enjoyment. 'Alföld' means 'The Great Plains,' a massive flat part of South-East Hungary where I was born and raised and we shot the video for 'Néma vermek' in the middle of the barren lands, in Makó-Bogárzó."

Pre-orders for 'Alföld' are now available HERE, while the album can be pre-saved HERE

THY CATAFALQUE is a metamorphic entity that’s constantly evolving, showcasing musical ingenuity that’s as limitless as it is daring. Meaning “The Great Plains,” ‘Alföld’ is grounded in the Avant Garde project’s heavy beginnings. While the record takes a cue from THY CATAFALQUE’s early days, mastermind Tamás Kátai’s modern progressive instincts shine through, elevating the record beyond the realm of metal as-you-know-it and once again creating a cutting-edge sound that’s far ahead of its time.

"'Alföld' is the most straight forward and classic extreme metal album the project ever recorded," says mastermind Tamás Kátai. "This time I just wanted to do metal without any innovation or progression, focusing on songs and riffs rather than experimenting and breaking new grounds. Had to let the old ideas out, so I did it with enjoyment. Alföld means The Great Plains, a massive flat part of South-East Hungary where I was born and raised and we shot the video for Néma vermek in the middle of the barren lands, in Makó-Bogárzó."

Originally, THY CATAFALQUE emerged as a black metal band founded by singer/keyboard player Tamás Kátai with the aid of guitarist/bassist János Juhász. Following their joined debut ‘Sublunary Tragedies’ (1999), the Hungarians evolved into quite different directions, but steadily gaining more followers in the process through the following albums, ‘Microcosmos’ (2001) and the self-released ‘Tűnő idő tárlat’ (2004).

On their fourth full-length, ‘Róka hasa Rádió’ (2009), THY CATAFALQUEinvited Ágnes Tóth from neo-folk outfit THE MOON AND THE NIGHTSPIRIT and Attila Bakos to add their haunting vocals. With fifth album ‘Rengeteg’ (2011), Tamás Kátai finally went solo with the help of guest musicians that again included Ágnes Tóth an Attila Bakos. Dubbing his eclectic musical amalgamation avant-garde metal, the Hungarian explored new sonic possibilities with ‘Sgùrr’ (2015). The sixth full-length turned out to be slightly more complex than its successor, ‘Meta’ (2016), which returned to a more direct approach without losing the steadily growing sonic diversity. In 2018, THY CATAFALQUE continued this path with the release of ‘Geometria’. THY CATAFALQUE delivered another spectacular musical mosaic with their ninth full-length entitled ‘Naiv’, inspired by the “Naïve Art” movement.

In 2021, THY CATAFALQUE return with ‘Vadak’. Meaning “Wildlings” in Hungarian, the album title is a deliberate clue to the exotic and feral essence of ‘Vadak.’ Like seedlings scattered throughout the forest by the mere forces of nature, THY CATAFALQUE’s imaginative sound grows with an organic sense of whimsy, cultivated within the vast influences of our megacosm. Thematically, ‘Vadak’ is a foreboding lesson in mortality. Emphasizing the fragility that is shared by man and beast alike, the record explores our Freudian life instincts, in which we inherently fear and run from the ultimate goal of existence: death.

Now, the visionary is looking to the past as it journeys onward and upward with its latest opus, which is just as familiar as it is forward-thinking, certain to mesmerize a vast swath of metal enthusiasts across all genres.

STRETCH Releases New Single "FLAVORTOWN" featuring Black Oxygen to all major platforms!

Meet "STRETCH"! He is an Artist, Entrepreneur, Restaurateur, TV Personality, BBQ Aficionado and the visionary creator of Grinders by STRETCH restaurants & franchise company; Grinders KC Concert Venue, (USA Today's #1 Pick for "Best Kansas City Nightlife") and their retail support “sister company,” STRETCH Specialties, LLC, which creates and sells Grinders Signature Hot Sauces.

STRETCH has appeared on dozens of hit television programs like: Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, Guys Big Bite, Cutthroat Kitchen, Guy's Grocery Games, Travel Channel’s "Pizza Paradise", Spike TV’s "Bar Rescue", Animal Planet’s “Eating the Enemy”, Discovery Channel’s Monster House, Destination America’s BBQ Pitmasters, PBS’ BBQ with Franklin, BIG BAD BBQ Brawl, Man VS Food (Casey Webb), and multiple appearances on ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

STRETCH has twice toured with Guy Fieri on their national “Foodapalooza Roadshow” and the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, showcasing his custom-made 25-gallon Monster Margarita Machine live on stage to audiences of thousands. He even rocked the main stage at 2016 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival.

In 2018, Grinders Signature Sauces launched both Grinders BBQ Sauce & Grinders Meat RUB, a BBQ seasoning (& a treat for your meat) that won top 5 honors at the American Royal, (out of nearly 600 entrants from 23 nations). While they were there, the Grinders Competition BBQ TEAM achieved a rare “perfect score” in the Chicken category.

STRETCH remains committed to entertaining and feeding US Military Personnel with Messlords, a globetrotting troop of fellow celebrity chefs in collaboration with Navy MWR, and while COVID has derailed most of their international travel, they are still connecting with fans and troops via cable TV and custom short cooking videos.

In 2019 the National Barbeque & Grilling Association tapped STRETCH for Meet the Masters, “a master class,” also featuring Myron Mixon, and in 2020 they further honored him with the coveted Legends Award - The Spirit of BBQ. After that, COVID changed a lot, so the travel was replaced with video and overnight services to appear on Triple D Nation & a special “Takeout” Edition of DDD titled “Flavortown Comes Home.”

STRETCH collaborated with the rock band BLACK OXYGEN on both a multi-festival nominated short film Life Is Beautiful as well as co-creating another award winning KC Style BBQ sauce branded as “Bangin BBQ.”

2023 promises to be a banner year, as STRETCH works to bring fresh new content to broadcast and streaming television, creating new public art, chasing after his adorable nine year-old twins (nicknamed “the Mugwamps”), developing & hosting exciting new TV shows, growing the “Grinders by STRETCH” restaurant brand, and slow-smoking some award-winning Competition BBQ on the National KCBS BBQ Circuit.

Another Day Dawns Get "Bitter" With Video For Explosive New Single — WATCH

Pennsylvania band Another Day Dawns — singer Dakota Sean, guitarist Tyler Ritter, bassist Jerome Betz, and drummer Nick McGeehan — have shared the video for their crackling new single "Bitter." Watch the clip, directed by Max Portnoy (drummer for Code Orange, Tallah). 

"'Bitter' really goes to the root of uncomfortable situations with people in our lives that never get addressed, and there's just this kinda 'off' feeling about them," Sean explains, offering insight into the track. "In this case, it's a parental figure that left at a young age, which made me go through life in a bitter way. As I've gotten older, I've learned that separation really is the best defense in these scenarios. But unfortunately, that 'what if' will always be in the back of your mind."

Another Day Dawns will spend the spring touring with Bush and Breaking Benjamin. They will also support Filter for a spate of dates at the end of May. All dates are below.

ANOTHER DAY DAWNS ON TOUR:

ABOUT ANOTHER DAY DAWNS:
ANOTHER DAY DAWNS continue their ascent as one of the most exciting portents of heavy rock with the release of their new single and Century Media debut, "Bitter." The band, along with producer Steve Sopchak (Ice Nine Kills. Motionless In White) and mixer Jeff Dunne (Brand of Sacrifice, Ice Nine Kills), brings together a pummeling riffiness and unforgettable sense of melody that defines the Wilkes-Barre, PA-based band as a force to be reckoned with. 
  
"Bitter" is the next step for ANOTHER DAY DAWNS, who began making a racket of their own as high school aged friends in 2010. Countless electric and acoustic shows later, opening for the likes of Sevendust, Starset, and Atreyu as well as rock festivals including Aftershock, Blue Ridge, and Louder Than Life, they've honed themselves into a powerhouse in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region. The independent release of their 2018 EP, A Different Life, landed them a charting spot on Billboard's rock charts which solidified their foundation in the active rock market, while the singles "Taste of Heaven" and "Forget Me Not" from  2020's Stranger EP release were mainstays on the Mediabase Active Rock chart as well as DSP Playlists. 
 
Presently finishing their first full length for Century Media with Sopchak and Dunne, ANOTHER DAY DAWNS are gearing up for their first full-fledged arena tour with Breaking Benjamin and Bush (4/26-5/23) and a club jaunt with Filter (5/26-6/3) with festivals including Louder Than Life (9/23) already on the books. In 2023, the next generation of rock has a new face — ANOTHER DAY DAWNS. 

The Stone Eye Announce Their New Single "Not My Circus"

The Stone Eye Release Their New Single "NOT MY CIRCUS". The Stone Eye is that spot on the sun that burns a memory into each layer of immersive sound. Not to be placed in a box, their stylistic music continues to be released with "NOT MY CIRCUS".

PURCHASE "NOT MY CIRCUS"

'"Not My Circus"  was conceived following a couple of unique events- firstly, seeing Ween live and experiencing them absolutely shred my (Steve) face-off at the Met Theater in December of 2021, and my buddy Mike Matteson telling me that "You should write more songs in four with an easily identifiable rhythm".

Experiencing Ween live, had inspired me to try and write a song that was a bit out there for us style-wise, yet have it still maintain that Stone Eye sound and feel. Mike's words definitely played a role in the songwriting process as well, as I tried not to veer too far off the deep end when it came to rhythmic experimentation within the riffs and keep it relatively grounded and (mostly) in four. Lyrically, it's a jab at the whole indie/hipster world following some heat I received for my Doordash on tour comments in the twitter-verse. It's about as autobiographical as I have ever been!" - Stephen Burdick

ABOUT

Grab a beer, throw up your legs, and let out a sigh of relief. A new era is born; or at least, something like that. Philadelphia’s premier fuzz-filled rockers are ushering in 2023 with new music throughout the year, and have arrived at their second single, "Not My Circus". Formed in 2014 by some buddies in High School with a shared love for music and endless amounts of ambition (sometimes to the point of absurdity), The Stone Eye is a band that prides itself in tackling multiple genres within one cohesive package; usually topped off with thunderous rhythm, loud guitars, and haunting vocals. It was not always this way though, and that's part of the appeal. Throughout the band's long history, musical evolution and experimentation have been at the forefront of each member's mind. What happens if you cross pop-sensibilities with traditional metal? Or maybe throw some funk in there for the ladies? Perhaps this song needs a hand pan? Why not! With every new release, The Stone Eye is providing new perspectives on tried genres, and that's... well, cool. These upcoming releases are absolutely no exception to that now-established mantra, so strap on in, grab that beer we were talking about earlier, and enjoy the ride.

"Not My Circus" is the second of four singles & music videos cultivated in a twelve-track album entitled Fata Morgana, which is scheduled for an April 28th, 2023 release. Fata Morgana and the aforementioned singles with be made available through Electric Talon Records on CD, Cassette, and Digital mediums.

Global Doom Supergroup MMXX Share New Single, "Alone", Featuring Mick Moss of Antimatter

Announce 'The Next Wave' EP Out April 14th

Pre-Save HERE

Global doom metal supergroup MMXX have announced their new EP 'The Next Wave' will be released via Candlelight on April 14th.

Ahead of this the band have released their first single and video, "Alone", which features guest vocalist Mick Moss (Antimatter, Sleeping Pulse). 

Check out the official lyric video, "Alone", feat. Mick Moss 

Born during the initial worldwide lockdown and incubated as the seasons passed, doom metal supergroup MMXX began as the sound of global isolation. Not unlike the pandemic itself, MMXX has long harboured an unseen chapter: 'The Next Wave'.

First single, "Alone" is an anthemic five-minute funeral march featuring the unmistakable Mick Moss (Antimatter, Sleeping Pulse). The full three song EP includes the metallic and driving "Isolation" featuring Mikko Kotamäki (Swallow the Sun), and the melancholic and ethereal "Echoes" featuring Alicia Nurho

'The Next Wave' EP will be released on vinyl by Candlelight and like its 2022 full-length predecessor 'Sacred Cargo', contains stunning artwork from Portuguese fine-art photographer Henri Prestes.

Comments the band: "The pandemic proved an especially inspiring and creatively prolific time for MMXX. Our desire to keep 'Sacred Cargo' short enough to fit on a single vinyl, and our preferred sequencing of songs meant we had a few songs from the 'Sacred Cargo' session left. As you will discover, they are by no means inferior, and we are pleased they will soon join our previous album as the ultimate epilogue to a global collaboration originating in the epicentre of pandemic isolation." 

At the core of MMXX is Andrea Chiodetti (ex-The Foreshadowing) on guitars and keys, Jesse Haff on drums (Daylight Dies and Gökböri) and Egan O’Rourke on bass (Daylight Dies). Together they channelled inspiration for composition after composition to collaborate with a geographically, culturally, and stylistically diverse collection of celebrated vocalists and musicians from around the world.

MMXX’s debut offering, 'Sacred Cargo' (2022), displayed the project’s signature multifarious approach to doom metal with upcoming EP, 'The New Wave', building upon the foundations laid by its predecessor with a newfound conviction.

MMXX are:

Andrea Chiodetti - Guitar/Keys

Jesse Haff - Drums

Egan O’Rourke - Bass

NEAL SCHON

Announces Long-Awaited Official Release of

'Journey Through Time'

Set for Release on May 19!

Pre-Order HERE

Frontiers Music Srl is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Neal Schon's 'Journey Through Time', a live concert recorded on February 9, 2018 at The Independent In San Francisco, CA, on May 19, 2023.

This is the show where Neal Schon, founding member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inducted band Journey, first debuted 'Journey Through Time' along with two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and former Journey and Santana bandmate, Gregg Rolie. Joining Schon and Rolie were current Journey member Deen Castronovo on vocals and drums, Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake) on bass, and John Varn on keyboards and vocals.

Performing to a sold out crowd for a benefit show to raise money for victims of the fires that had ravaged the North Bay area of the San Francisco region in October 2017, the band played songs spanning Journey’s entire catalog, largely focusing on the band’s '70s repertoire, including the band's first three albums, 'Journey', 'Look Into The Future', and 'Next'.

Watch a performance of the classic Journey track "Lights"

Multi-Grammy nominated Schon founded Journey in 1972 and remains the sole consistent member, having participated in every album and tour to date. Before founding Journey, Schon was also a member of Santana and has performed with a variety of other acts including Bad English, Hardline, and HSAS and with Jan Hammer and Paul Rodgers (Bad Company, Free).

He has released 10 solo albums over the course of his career as well, with his guitar style being described as soulful and melodic and admired by such fellow legends as Eric Clapton and Prince. Journey’s worldwide sales have reached over 100 million records, making them one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time. Chart-topping hits such as “Don’t Stop Believin­’,” “Open Arms", “Lights", “Faithfully", and “When You Love a Woman” are regarded as some of the defining songs of the rock n' roll musical canon.
