"A cocktail of modern prog metal, 'Macro' is the album where Jinjer show us what the future of heaviness sounds like.” - Loudwire

In the midst of the global Covid-19 pandemic and with music fans confined to their homes, Ukrainian modern metal frontrunners JINJER bring live madness to your screens with the release of the official live video for crushing song "Pit Of Consciousness" from their globally acclaimed album Macro.

The video was filmed during the band's captivating performance in Kiev in 2019 by Oleg Rooz (Suicidal Tendencies, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Enter Shikari).

Commented bass player Eugene Abdukhanov: "Back when we recorded this show we were on the tail end of a 6 month tour and somewhere in between all that madness we managed to write and record Macro... it was an extremely stressful time. But it was one of the most positive times of our lives. Things right now look pretty grim and no one knows what will happen next. We want to release this video with the hopes of letting people know that no matter how crazy, confusing and scary things get - BETTER TIMES are on the way. Let’s use the time at home in isolation to take a good look inside and learn about our true selves…"

Devastating riffs, aggressive vocals, powerful melodies and astonishingly deep lyrics are what make their new album, Macro, JINJER’s most advanced and undeniable album yet – taking the listener on a journey of trauma, power struggle and greed with a progressive groove metal backdrop.

New Album 'Unto Leviathan' out TOMORROW (Mar. 27)

On the eve of releasing their debut full-length album, Unto Leviathan, Bay Area-based deathcore outfit ARDRA have premiered a new music video for the song "To Walk With Fire" exclusively via Metal Injection. Talking about the new song, the band comments, "It (To Walk With Fire) is about the anger you live with when you've been betrayed, hurt, and let down. Although, you've allowed yourself to burn it from your memory. It will always be with you."

ARDRA's independently released debut LP, Unto Leviathan, is out TOMORROW (Mar. 27). Pick it up on Bandcamp.

About ARDRA

Bay Area deathcore band ARDRA have an extraordinary way of cutting through all the noise. Getting their name from an episode of Star Trek, Ardra formed in 2014 from seemingly opposite ends of the music spectrum. At one end, the head-banging riffs and massive moments of bands like Pestilence and Behemoth. At the other, the melodic edge and tight transitions of Misery Signals. The result is a sound that’ll keep you guessing, but also remind you of that one breakdown you remember when music was just better.Among the things they pride themselves on is translating their recorded material perfectly onstage. If you’re at an Ardra show, you’re going to hear all your favorite parts, you’re going to see a band that’s carving their own niche, and you’re probably going to see the bassist take his shirt off. Ardra’s debut full-length album, UNTO LEVIATHAN, is both the realization of a shared vision as well as an introduction to what’s on the horizon.

Commented the band: "There are songs you should never ever cover. Completely over done evergreens or relics of alcohol-induced prom nights. Songs that are every metalhead's bête noire - but also songs that are already perfect and cannot be made better in any way. We've descended into the hell of the hit parades and risen to the heavens of music's heroes to gather the worst of sins for you. The black book of folk metal. Songs that should have never been covered by FEUERSCHWANZ... played by: FEUERSCHWANZ! THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS."

Die sieben Todsünden - Tracklist:

1. Ding - Seeed

2. Hier kommt Alex - Die Toten Hosen

3. Amen & Attack - Powerwolf

4. I See Fire - Ed Sheeran

5. Gott mit uns - Sabaton

6. Limit - Deichkind

7. Engel - Rammstein

The band recently released the live music video for the brand new single, „Metfest“ Stream/download "Metfest" HERE!

Watch the official live video for "Metfest" HERE!

„Metfest“ is that anthem that makes any party a real one! Super catchy medieval, yet rocky melodies, frenetic singalongs and an ode to friendship! A song to grab your best bud and a barrel of mead to and crank it up! 

Today the band also announces the release date for the successor of 2018's extremely successful album, Methämmer, (#6 in the official German album charts). Das elfte Gebot is scheduled for a June 26 release via Napalm Records.

Commented the band: "In December 2019 we celebrated our 15 year anniversary on the sold out METFEST tour – our biggest tour so far! The extraordinary spirit of wild shows in packed venues is captured in this new live video: Raise your horns and scream out loud with hordes of folkmetalheads praising the brew of vikings, dwarves and warriors – hail to the holy mead - METFEST!"

Aftermath covers John Lennons Give Peace a Chance

“John Lennon’s urgent call for peace in Give Peace a Chance is more important today than ever, and our call for peace with this cover is the perfect message to follow up our previous album. We released a dark concept album with a bleak message and felt it was important to follow that up with something positive. The visuals in the video are as important as the lyrics in a way. We live in a visual world today and this video needed to get out the message of HOPE. Having a young girl be the focus of the video was our way of getting that across. Seeing only positive acts when she puts on Lennon’s famous glasses was the perfect visual metaphor. Lennon’s message is transmitted not only through his lyrics but also through the perspective created by his unique lenses” says the band.

The video was directed by critically acclaimed video director Steven Nathan in New York City.

Chicago based Aftermath, fronted by Kyriakos “Charlie” Tsiolis, formed in October 1985 when Charlie and his schoolmate Steve Sacco (Guitar) got together. This early incarnation with Adam (Bass) and Ray Schmidt (Drums) released their first demo in 1986 featuring "Sentenced to Death’," "Revenge," "Shotgun," and "The Aftermath."

In 1987, they unleashed their second demo entitled Killing the Future featuring the tracks "When Will You Die," "Going No Place," "Chaos," "Meltdown," and "War for Freedom". The band pursued a mind-blowing speed and technical brand of thrash that soon set them apart from the pack and in the process made them a pioneering crossover thrash band.

Aftermath has continued to receive critical acclaim as one of the major influences in the genre. The band was featured on pages 9 and 10 of Gary Sharpe-Young’s A – Z of Thrash Metal, available on Cherry Red Books. Twenty-five years after its formation, Aftermath’s music made its return in 2011 with the release of the Box Set 25 YEARS OF CHAOS on Area Death Productions and the vinyl When Will You Die on F.O.A.D. The reemergence of one of the most original thrash bands ever continued in 2014 with their decision to reunite for several concerts in 2015. Coming off their first show in 20 years at Ragnarokkr Metal Apocalypse in their hometown of Chicago, the band ripped the stage apart at Headbanger’s Open Air in Hamburg, Germany that summer. In the Fall of 2015, the reunion continued with the reissue of the band's debut Eyes of Tomorrow. With an expanded booklet and remastered by Paul Logus (Pantera, Steel Panther), Shadow Kingdom Records released the band’s debut along with bonus material. Following this release was the Killing the Future reissue on Divebomb Records. Once again Paul Logus remastered the tracks from their original source and created a wall of sound in the process. Killing the Future, along with the expanded booklet and bonus tracks from the band’s 1986 first demo, completed the celebration of the band’s 30th anniversary.

In 2017, the band started writing the material for their new album, There is Something Wrong, an 11-song opus recorded by Chuck Macak and mastered by Ted Jensen. A concept record in the truest sense of the word, the album features a mix of old-school crossover thrash and technical/progressive metal, and is a commentary on what is wrong with the world today. A calling out of the masses to wake up and know the real enemy. The music is urgent, and the lyrics challenge the listener to seek the truth. The lyric video for "Smash Reset Control" visually depicts some of the topics covered on the album. The imagery and the striking red color in the video provide the perfect backdrop for the lyrics and music. Aftermath went back to its early days and revived its crossover thrash stylings on this powerful and ultra-fast song, but this track is only a sample of what the listeners have in store for them once they put on their headphones and listen to There is Something Wrong in its entirety.

The band is currently writing and recording new music.

AFTERMATH is: 
Kyriakos "Charlie" Tsiolis - Vocals 
Steve Sacco - Guitar 
Ray Schmidt - Drums 
George Lagis - Bass
