mail-83.jpeg

Classic Rockers Every Mother’s Nightmare will world premiere their video for the song “Drown By Luv” on Wednesday, July 28th on Heavy Metal Television.

The song will be featured at the top of every hour from 12pm to 7pm on Heavy Metal Television at www.heavymetaltelevision.net.

Additionally, the song “Drown By Luv” will be featured between 12pm and 7pm at the top of each hour on Crash Course Radio and Uncontrolled Noize. Both stations are available 24/7 at www.cmsradio.net.

American rock band (EMN) EVERY MOTHER’S NIGHTMARE hails from Memphis, Tennessee and is a quintessential artist that never follows trends doing things their own way. Good or bad, it was their way that put the band on the map when (EMN) EVERY MOTHER’S NIGHTMARE was signed by the legendary Clive Davis in years past.

With a music catalog that rises above and is a far cry from their peers, (EMN) EVERY MOTHER’S NIGHTMARE has released six albums that greatly differ from one to the next. Each one tells a story of good times, trouble pasts and life experiences. It has been said that the band “writes what they live”. Such is the case with their new studio album ‘RESURRECT THE FAITHFUL’ due out October 23, 2020 on HighVolMusic.

Recorded at Supernova Sound Memphis, RESURRECT THE FAITHFULdiffers from any of its predecessors. With a unique wall of guitars and a thunderous rhythm section, RESURRECT THE FAITHFUL stands above anything the band has written and crosses various musical boundaries. The lyrical content delves into profound subject matter that can be determined by the listener as it relates to their own lives and situations. Each song takes on a life of their own – 11 scorching tracks of pure rock ‘n roll bliss at its finest and perhaps the most defining record in the band’s career.

RESURRECT THE FAITHFUL may be a shock to many; including the 2020 re-record style of the hit ‘Love Can Make You Blind.’

RESURRECT THE FAITHFUL is a true testament of everything that EMN is today.” says vocalist Rick Ruhl. “This is the best album of my career; it is perfect in every way – at least for us. There isn’t a song on it that I wished I could go back and fix or do differently. All of these songs were written and recorded during some very dark times both personally and all around. Only the strong survive and EMN is still here.”

SEVEN SPIRES RELEASE NEW SINGLE & VIDEO 'LIGHTBRINGER' FT. CASEY LEE WILLIAMS

NEW ALBUM GODS OF DEBAUCHERY COMING SEPTEMBER 10, 2021 VIA FRONTIERS MUSIC SRL

Coming off their critically praised sophomore album, "Emerald Seas", Seven Spires are set to return with their third, and by far, most ambitious album to date, "Gods Of Debauchery" on September 10, 2021. Today, the band has released another new single and video, 'Lightbringer' ft. Casey Lee Williams, from the album.

Watch the video below

Pre-order/save "Gods Of Debauchery" on CD/LP/Digital HERE: https://orcd.co/godsofdebauchery

Watch the previously released video for the title track HERE: https://youtu.be/_O7LUgm9JKw

Seven Spires on the new single: “‘Lightbringer’ is a song about revelling in life's fleeting pleasures, and indulging the parts of yourself that the world demonised. It was born from a love of Korean Pop Music, and in the context of the story of the album "Gods of Debauchery", it sees our detached anti-hero sailing from port to port, collecting a loyal crew of devotees without regard for the collateral damage left in their wake."

On the album "Gods of Debauchery", the band continues: "There is a ton of influence from video games, films, and TV soundtracks such as Skyrim, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Lucifer, Pirates of the Caribbean, Marvel films, and many more, plus our love for classic Kamelot, Dimmu Borgir, Fleshgod Apocalypse, and Late Romantic Classical Music. The most important part of making art is staying true to yourself, and we unapologetically did exactly that, which meant exploring every corner of what we love about music, and constantly pushing the technical limits of our own musicianship."

After the release of "Emerald Seas" in February of 2020, the band had multiple amazing support slots lined up to promote the record on the road. They were geared up and in fighting form, ready to bring their music to the masses and show the world what they are all about. Plans were quickly changed weeks after the album' release due to the coronavirus pandemic though and soon it became obvious that touring would be ground to a halt for a while. So, the band took the opportunity to commence work on their follow-up album, which wound up becoming the mammoth 70+ minute masterpiece that is "Gods Of Debauchery". This album, epic in scope and reach, shows progression well beyond their years.

Stay tuned for news about upcoming tour dates.

Dark Station Release Re-imagined Version of Their Single "Locked On" + Official Music Video; Announce Tour Dates!!

Buy/Stream Dark Station Music:

https://linktr.ee/darkstation

Dark Station released the re-imagined version of their single "Locked On" to all major platforms. This version of the single will be included on their upcoming 5-song EP titled Afterlight that features re-imagined songs from their previous album Down in the Dark. In addition, the band announced the "Afterlight Tour" in support of the EP that begins on September 11th in Las Vegas, Nevada at Taverna Costera.

"The song is about having motivation and always improving yourself. I think that's evident in the first line of the chorus, "I'm locked on, ready to move now." I've made a lot of mistakes, but If you don't choose to learn from them, then I guess you're not really progressing" says the band's vocalist, Nathan Spades.

"We did something a little different for this video. Our go-to guy Robyn August wore the director's hat, but this time we added some animation by the visual fx artist Jay Hemrajani. It's very visually appealing and I think the audience will enjoy it." adds Kyle Ort, the band's guitarist.

Dark Station released their anticipated debut full length album Down in the Dark on October 25, 2019. The band premiered four videos leading up to the release, all of which can be seen below.

In the spring of 2018, five Southern California musicians came together, leaving their respective projects behind, to form a new band. A band with the ability to seamlessly transition from crushingly heavy riffs to unforgettably haunting melodies and lyrics. With inspiration drawing from the top late 90's and early 00's rock bands, there's a certain familiarity to the music that's refreshing and yet evolved into what can only be described as Dark Station. With rock on the rise, Dark Station has risen to the challenge of aiding in rock's revival.

This is the new age. This is Dark Station.

Alt/Pop/Synthwave Artist, Arena, Releases New Single "Promise" via IMAGEN RECORDS

Rochester, NY, Alt/Pop/Synthwave Artist, Arena, released a brand new single "Promise" to all major platforms via Imagen Records/ Warner ADA .

“Think back to your first love. That first kiss on the hood of your car or laying under the stars with someone that meant the world to you. Ditching class or pool hopping, living without a care in the world. “Promise” is the soundtrack to that time and now your Summer. It’s the feeling that never went away, although life may have made other plans for you" says Joey Arena.

After picking up his first guitar at the age of 10, Joey Arena knew there was no “Plan B,” music is his purpose. Making friends with the road at the age of 17 and living one night at a time, the stages grew bigger as did the fans along the way. Arena grew up in a city of arts, Rochester, NY. The home to household names such as Lou Gramm and Steve Gadd; a geographical foundation in which he’d build a music career.

RICHRATH PROJECT 3:13 PAYS TRIBUTE TO LATE/GREAT ORIGINAL REO SPEEDWAGON GUITARIST, GARY RICHRATH, WITH NEW ALBUM – ‘L.A. IS MINE’

Guitarist GARY RICHRATH was an integral part of classic rockers REO SPEEDWAGON – as his soaring guitar lines helped propel such classics as “Take It on the Run,” “Golden Country,” and “Ridin’ the Storm Out.” While Gary is sadly no longer with us (having passed away in 2015) his music continues to live on as part of RICHRATH PROJECT 3:13, and a brand new album, ‘L.A. IS MINE.’ The album is set for its worldwide release on Friday, August 6th, 2021 via Dark Star/Sony/Orchard/UMG and the album’s lead-off single/video, “Help Me Save Me from Myself,” can be seen below
Pre-order the album here: https://smarturl.it/Richrathproject
Pre-order the exclusive Limited Edition Box Set here: https://darkstarrecords.net/2021/07/06/box-set

The band’s singer/guitarist, MICHAEL JAHNZ, explains the song’s creation. “Written by Gary Richrath, I added my own personality to the song in the arrangement. This is a song that Gary and I worked on and ultimately recorded demos of, in my studio here in the Milwaukee area. My current sound engineer was able to isolate Gary’s guitar tracks from our demos all those years ago and my current band rounded out the recording of ‘Help Me Save Me from Myself.’ With myself singing lead and Gary's original background vocals added from our demo, I added many different harmonies with my new background vocals to really give it a great sound, the results of which I’m really proud of.”

"Gary never really told me the story behind his lyrics." Many can speculate. For me, the song can portray anyone who feels their demons, whatever they may be, drinking, drugs, depression, overeating, gambling, are something they need saving from. The person, is reaching out for someone to hold them, care about them and save them from the things that are out of control in their lives. The video however starts off with a sad, desperate, even angry kind of mood, working through trying to get rid of their vices and ultimately coming out the other side with friendship, family, hugs and love. The bright light at the end of the tunnel. The creativity and the amazing visual locations provided the perfect backdrop for this video. I think it serves as a powerful message for people struggling with all sorts of issues and emotions. I truly hope it’ll strike a chord with people and give them a sense of hope.”

It turns out that the origins of the project stretch back several decades. Jahnz started the REO connection when he became lead vocalist and front man for Richrath in the early ‘90s (after Gary exited REO). The pair toured together for over a decade as the Richrath Band, playing songs Gary had written for REO Speedwagon, as well as original tunes that Michael had written with Gary (releasing an album in 1992, ‘ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE’).

Michael: “He took me under his wing and I had the opportunity to sing, write, record and perform with the great musician. He always told me, don’t write a song for a hit, write it about something that means something to you.”

Michael and Richrath Project 3:13 continue to honor the memory of the late Gary Richrath at every show. The band is excited to announce the upcoming release of their new album, which will include never before heard songs that Gary and Michael had worked on together, a few of which have Gary’s actual guitar tracks on them! Honoring the legend and continuing his legacy.

Over the course of their time together, Gary and Michael recorded numerous tracks for a follow- up album. In 2019, the record company that originally released the ‘Only the Strong Survive’ album approached Michael with the idea of re-releasing ‘Only the Strong Survive’ and also wanted Michael to record a new album to carry on Gary’s legacy with those demos he and Gary had worked on all those years ago.

The re-release did happen in 2019, and Michael simultaneously decided to resurrect the Richrath Band and so, Richrath Project 3:13 was born – with the name based on the Michael and Gary “thing” which was a phenomenon they continuously found themselves seeing (3:13) and also referring to the time they would always find themselves in the studio, 3:13 am.

Dark Star Records stepped in and decided to pick up the project and signed Richrath Project 3:13 to their label on a very apropos date- you got it 3/13/2021!

‘L.A. Is Mine’ features tracks with and without Gary Richrath (they are some of the only remaining, never before heard tracks, written and performed by Gary). It will include 5 new originals, 3 new Gary Richrath songs with him on guitar, and re-recorded versions of “Ridin’ the Storm Out” and “Son of A Poor Man” as bonus tracks.

Gary was a principal songwriter on the majority of REO’s classic records, and was well known for his unforgettable stage presence. Simply put, Richrath Project 3:13 is a version of REO Speedwagon in their early years – when they rocked harder and weren’t so “ballad-based.”

Michael: “Gary’s soul came through his guitar playing. He didn’t try to sound like anything in particular, just himself, no special effects, just him playing through his coily cord into a Marshall amp. The thing he most wanted to get across to me is to sing with my heart and soul, with true feeling, like he did with his guitar. In my opinion, I think part of his soul was lost when he left REO, but his genuine kindness was always there, shining through his amazing guitar playing.”

RICHRATH PROJECT 3:13, takes you back to the beginnings of REO SPEEDWAGON, and tells the story of GARY RICHRATH via his music up to his passing and beyond – over the course of a two hour performance including a multimedia show that documents Gary and Michael’s history. The show also includes some of Michael’s awesome new original songs performed by the newest version of Richrath Project 3:13 with a group of very talented musicians, including Dennis Pockets on lead guitar, Scott Weber on keyboards, Doug Janssen on bass and Andy Crownover on drums.

Michael: “We are anxious for our fans to hear the original tunes I have written. Just like Gary had taught me all those years ago, I tried to write songs about things that mean something to me, and I believe that comes through in all the lyrics of the new songs. We feel they turned out just dynamite. We're looking forward to seeing the reaction to our first music video as well. As far as the future, we already have songs for the second Richrath Project 3:13 album, plan on touring the country like crazy and entertaining our fans for years to come!”

DEE SNIDER Announces Streaming Concert Event on July 29th - Tickets On Sale Now!

[Photo Credit: Paul McGuire]

Fifth Full-Length Solo Album, Leave A Scar, out July 30 via Napalm Records

Pre-Order HERE

Legendary heavy metal vocalist and pop culture icon DEE SNIDER recently announced his triumphant fifth full-length album, Leave A Scar, out July 30, 2021 via Napalm Records. To commemorate the release of his new album, DEE SNIDER has announced a streaming event for his fans on Thursday, July 29th. All ticket buyers will gain access to the concert stream on the 29th, as well as on-demand access to any and all content from the event for a 30-day period!

The concert stream features a very special concert from Snider performing live in New York back on June 12th. Tickets for the stream are available at http://www.metaldepartment.tv/

Like a scar itself, Leave A Scar is an illuminating plentitude of angst etched in time – serving as a musical refuge and expressive output for Dee. But in turn, this auditory time capsule was written to express the anger, unease, and pain he experienced during lockdown emerges as not only blisteringly heavy, but relentlessly powerful. Each of the 12 tracks on Leave A Scar not only further bolster DEE SNIDER’s position as one of the most celebrated frontmen of all time, showcasing that his vocal delivery and commanding swagger is as strong as ever, but that he is nowhere near stopping.

DEE SNIDER says about Leave A Scar:

“By the end of 2020, I knew I not only had to get back into the studio, but for the first time since the '90s, I wanted – no, needed – to be a part of the writing process. I reached out to my producer Jamey Jasta and told him I was ready to make another record. Leave a Scar is filled with messages to and for the silent voices in the world who need someone to speak out on their behalf. This is my purpose.”

Jamey Jasta says regarding working with DEE SNIDER again:

“Getting to work with Dee again has been incredible! The power and range in his vocals on this album really shine. Not only is he an American treasure and staple in the rock/metal community, he’s a truly original voice and talent like no other. Combine that with the metallic prowess of the Bellmore bros + Russell Pzütto and Nick Petrino, you get a rockin’ metal recipe that even the most "Dee-hard" SMF’ers will surely love!”

POLYCHUCK’S MUSICALLY ECLECTIC EP, ‘SHADOWS EXPOSED’ OUT TODAY + NEW SINGLE/VIDEO, ‘BEATING MYSELF DOWN’!

A great guitar shredder since the age of only 13, Montreal artist Polychuck is now an innovative and ever-maturing singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and high profile guitar coach who's ready to take the rock world by storm with multiple singles and a just-issued EP, ‘Shadows Exposed’ (released on July 23rd), and a new single/video, “Beating Myself Down,” which can be experienced here:

“I started messing around on the piano with something that sounded like The Clash’s ‘London Calling’ song, and I took it from there,” recalls Polychuck about the writing of “Beating Myself Down.” For me, the melody was clearly going to be kind of uplifting and motivational. At the same time, a friend and I were working on a text with a depressing tone, these lyrics were almost too much to be taken seriously. The theme was dark but the lines were cool and catchy and I knew there was something to keep developing this song. At first, we thought it would fit perfectly like a Papa Roach/ Korn type of song, but I ended up wanting to try it on a more upbeat ‘the world is beautiful & unicorns, etc.’ instrumental track that I had written around the same time.”

Musically, Polychuck stepped outside the box for the song. “After recording the vocals and having finished the structure of the track, I decided to go all in with my upbeat vibe, and even add a brass section. The goal was to make it so ‘over the top’ that it’s almost like there’s a parade going on while I’m singing about how life sucks. The way I ended up arranging the song was now perfectly in line with the feel that I wanted it to have. The song has a swing beat, it starts off with a very light hearted piano chord progression and the instrumentation gradually gets fuller and more complex until the guitar solo kicks in, and I am moving forward going in a super dramatic sound with the long arpeggios and sweep picking to give it an epic sound.”

And when it came to the song’s video, Polychuck knew exactly what he wanted. “A couple of weeks after having it mastered, and ready to release, I started getting tons of ideas for the music video to accompany the song. The video would need to be funny, but still keep the meaning that I was trying to communicate in the track. The idea was to have me play the role of many different aspects of myself. A bunch of me’s talking to each other like I am having some kind of self-inquiry moment or inner conversation. It happens to all of us, and that was my way to put that in music and now images. It took a bit of a humorous turn but it still had a very profound meaning. I’m really happy about what we did with this track and I really think it makes the perfect single for the EP. Enjoy the song!”

The multi-talented Polychuck played, produced, recorded and mastered everything that you hear on the EP. With most modern artists sounding quite one-dimensional, predictable, and same-sounding as their competition, the hard-to-pin-down Polychuck is a most welcome arrival on the music scene, as heard throughout ‘Shadows Exposed,’ and on the new single/video, “Beating Myself Down.”

Bullet for My Valentine Release "Parasite" Video + It's Another Banger — WATCH + LISTEN

SEVENTH STUDIO ALBUM BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE OUT OCTOBER 22 VIA SPINEFARM/ SEARCH & DESTROY

PRE-ORDER HERE

Bullet For My Valentine have released "Parasite," the second single from their recently announced self-titled album Bullet For My Valentine.

Watch the video for "Parasite"

"For 'Parasite,' we just wanted to let the song rip," says director Fiona Garden. "The intensity and fury of the track tears along, pure performance and vitality. Along the way, in a world defined by blinding light and the phenomenal graphic work of artist Carl Addy, we see this new infinite incarnation of the avatar aM cuts being ritualistically infected and drawn further into limitless oblivion. No locusts were harmed in the making of this video."

The Guardian called the first single, "Knives," a "sonic onslaught," adding that it displayed "gymnastic guitar riffs, snarling vocals, and more drum hits in four minutes than across most albums." Rock Sound concurred, calling it "a vicious and violent slab of ferocious modern metal," while Metal Hammer commented, "BFMV are back in the form of their lives." Revolver deemed it a "razor-edged ripper" while Loudwire stated that the band has "more than delivered in regards to brutality and technicality."

But where "Knives" arrived like a punch in the face, "Parasite" is here to disembowel.

The band comments, "'Parasite' is an absolute RAGER from start to finish!!! Easily one of the gnarliest tracks we've ever written — we couldn't be more stoked to finally get it out there."

Bullet For My Valentine will be released on October 22 via Spinefarm /Search & Destroy.

"I think it's the most ferocious side of Bullet For My Valentine that I've ever known," says lead guitarist Michael "Padge" Paget. "It's time for us to put out a really angry, heavy, aggressive record. I just can't wait to grimace on stage!"

Frontman and guitarist Matt Tuck began writing the album in September 2019 before the Coronavirus pandemic brought things screeching to a halt in early 2020. But in June 2020, Tuck and long-time producer, Carl Bown, who co-produced the band's 2015 album, Venom, and produced and mixed Gravity, picked up the pace again. Together, they hunkered down at Treehouse Studio in Chesterfield, where the remainder of the album was written.

Bullet For My Valentine follows the success of their last album, 2018's Gravity, which saw the metal juggernauts' catalogue surpass 1 BILLION (yes, with a B!) streams in the U.S. That accomplishment solidifies Bullet's hard-earned status as one of the most elite bands in the hard rock scene.

Pre-orders for Bullet For My Valentine's seventh studio album are now live, with an instant download of both "Knives" and "Parasite," and special bundle options, including a unique clipping from the backdrop used on the bands ‘Venom' world tour from 2015 – 2017, t-shirts, hoodies, gold & silver cassettes, and limited vinyl. Get it here.

In addition to all the existing hits, fans will get the chance to hear new music live for the first time this Sunday when the band make history by headlining the Download Festival Pilot at Donington Park on June 18-20.

BFMV have launched an official fan club, dubbed "Army of Noise," via Patreon. Sign up here.

ABOUT BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE

Since their formation in 1998, Bullet For My Valentine have become one of the biggest bands in metal, surpassing 1 BILLION streams in the US alone, selling over 3 million albums worldwide and scoring three gold albums, as well as defining British metalcore with their now classic debut, The Poison. BFMV have been crowned Best British Band at the Kerrang! Awards three years in a row — where they've also been awarded for Best Single, Best Live Band and Best British Newcomer. It's not just the press and fans that have afforded them such faith — even the heroes that inspired them in the first place, bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica, have personally selected BFMV to hit the road and share the stage with them.

Thunder Announce Expanded Edition Of Their Top 3 Album 'All The Right Noises'

CONTAINS BONUS DVD OF THE ‘THUNDER TV’ SPECIAL,
BEHIND THE SCENES & BONUS TRACKS

OUT 24TH SEPTEMBER 2021 ON BMG


LISTEN TO THE TRACK ‘FIREBIRD’ RELEASED DIGITALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME & PREORDER THE 2CD/DVD HERE : https://thunderband.lnk.to/ATRNPR

British rock legends Thunder have announced the release of the expanded edition of their 13th studio album, ‘All The Right Noises’ on 24th September 2021 on BMG. It follows on from the album’s original release earlier this year, which saw the band maintain their incredible chart run by achieving a No.3 Album; as well as rave reviews: ‘A classy tour de force of songwriting prowess and pacey execution’ – Classic Rock, ‘Riotous rock and roll’ – Press Association, ‘Carries on the legacy of great rock songs’ – Fireworks.

The brand new expanded edition will feature a DVD of the ‘Thunder TV Special’, which is extended here to include extra songs not broadcast when it was streamed back in March. Recorded in February and originally broadcast as a streamed event, the TV Special was in answer to the postponement of their arena tour from 2021 to 2022. Well known for their energetic live shows, the concept of playing a mock live show with no audience didn't sit well with Thunder, as the fans are always such a huge part of the energy in their shows. The solution was to film a TV style performance, in the mood of the Old Grey Whistle Test or Later… with Jools Holland, with an audience joining them in real time via Zoom. And so the Thunder TV Special was born.

Filmed at Siyan Studios in High Wycombe, the webcast of this unique performance was streamed for 48 hours on the weekend of the album’s release. The show was comprised of a set list of almost all the tunes from the new album, plus some of their biggest hits, a Zoom Q&A with fan club members, and set changes from plugged in electric to sit down acoustic. The 90 minute set was a runaway hit with Thunder fans all over the globe. Classic Rock said of it ‘Thunder are in prime form, obviously loving performing again, and throughout they accentuate the special in this TV special’.

Thunder founders Danny Bowes and Luke Morley will also embark on a UK Tour in November 2021. The shows will be based around the bandmates’ new book ‘Danny & Luke – The First 50 Years (1971-2021)’, which is released in September, and tell their story from when they first met at secondary school to achieving success with Thunder, and right up to present day.

Iconic post-punk band Pink Turns Blue has announced that their new album 'Tainted' will be released in autumn on limited edition vinyl, CD and digitally via Orden Records.

Ahead of that, they present their new single 'You Still Mean Too Much To Me', following up lead singles 'There Must Be So Much More' and 'So Why Not Save The World'.

Pink Turns Blue is Mic Jogwer (vocals, guitar), Reubi Walter (bass, keyboards) and Paul Richter (drums). Inspired by Joy Division, The Sound and The Chameleons, Pink Turns Blue plays alternative rock heavily influenced by 80s post-punk and new wave.

This album is the result of time well spent this past lockdown year writing, recording, mixing and mastering the new album in their Berlin recording studio. On ‘Tainted’, the band added an electronic element to their classical vocals, guitar, bass and drums. The album title itself relates to the state of our world: climate change, its effects, the reaction to it, the split within society, isolation, health risks and financial uncertainty.

"How to overcome the grief / pain of lost love, torn between hate, very bad feelings and, at the same time, not being able to let go at all. As there is no understanding why you fall in love with someone in the first place, there is also no reason / understanding  why love does end or your love of life starts to feel attracted to someone else. It all dissolves into nothingness," says Mic Jogwer.

"Some melodies and moods just call for certain sad themes and touch old wounds that never seem to heal. Normally love stories don’t seem to have a connection to me and my life. But then, when I find a sad melody with some sad chords it all gets stirred up and comes to life. Maybe love really never ends."

Among the first generation of gothic rock in Germany, Pink Turns Blue formed in 1985, originally as a duo consisting of Mic Jogwer and Thomas Elbern, plus a drum machine. Naming themselves after a Hüsker Dü song, their sound was initially inspired by The Chameleons, Clan of Xymox, and The Cure.

Their debut album 'Two Worlds Kiss' brought dark undertones into their new wave sound, essentially advancing the darkwave sub-genre while becoming a seminal album in the post-punk genre. Amidst fear and uncertainty in a divided Germany during the Cold War era, the band longed for a more romantic element. They went on to release eleven full-length LPs, the latest one being 'The AERDT – Untold Stories' in 2016 via Orden Records.

As of July 30, 'You Still Mean Too Much To Me' will be released everywhere online, including Apple Music and Spotify. The 'Tainted' LP will be released on September 24. It will be available digitally and in two physical formats - a CD with a 16-page booklet and on black vinyl, strictly limted to 500 copies, with an 8-page booklet. Both can be pre-ordered exclusively via the band's website.

ERDVE Streams New Album 'Savigaila' in Full

Experimental Sludge outfit ERDVE will be releasing their new album 'Savigaila' via Season of Mist tomorrow, July 23! The band is now streaming the offering in full ahead of the release. Listen at THIS LOCATION.

ERDVE comments: ''Finally, we are able to share our creative output at the fullest extent. This record is a huge step for us as a band and got us really hyped on experimenting further with heavy music, visuals and narrative. There was quite a bit of emotional weight that came up with the birth of this album, so we are really looking forward to all the feedback from the listeners. Now that the album is being released, we are very thankful to everyone who supports our work! You can be sure to hear much more from us soon, but for now, we hope you will enjoy this record."


Pre-orders are now liveHERE

Style: Experimental Hardcore Sludge

Crushing insanity drips atmospherically out of every crack on 'Savigaila', experimenting with elements from hardcore, sludge, and black metal.

When ERDVE formed in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius in 2016, the band had a clear aesthetic vision of creating a unique heavy sound that experimented with elements from hardcore, sludge, and black metal – yet was not bound by any unwritten “rules” surrounding those genres. ERDVE’s members had already been active in their local scene and performed in various acts such as NYKSTA, SRAIGĖS EFEKTAS, and SPIRALE. A self-made tape version of their debut made its rounds in underground circles and the Lithuanians received the rare honour of being picked straight out of the dreaded demo pile by virtue of their musical strength and compelling quality.

The core ideas behind ERDVE are translated into lyrics, visuals, and sound by in-depth reflection on concepts such as domestic violence, utmost disgusting behaviour, crimes against humanity, and extremism. Their debut album 'Vaitojimas', released in 2018 by Season of Mist, delivered exactely that!

The new offering 'Savigaila', which translates as "self-pity", revolves around overcoming the numbness within the great challenges of unsettling reality, and accepting them as they are. Regret, envy, self-regard, love, care and togetherness. From completely understandable to the most unreasonable sense. This idea is turned into melodies, rhythm, and sound by ERDVE on the bands upcoming sophomore album.

But make no mistake, ERDVE successfully transformed these melodies into a new unnerving experience on how THEY perceive life and with 'Savigaila', you may find that enjoying life, can be entirely implausible...

Join ERDVE on their next journey into the Baltic darkness!

THE DEAD DAISIES SERVE UP A TOUR LIKE NO OTHER, DISHING OUT A FEAST OF ROCK MUSIC & COMEDY

mail-79.jpeg

As the world slowly comes out of lockdown, rock group THE DEAD DAISIES blast out of the gates with the LIKE NO OTHER tour which takes in 20-dates across the United States. These shows will be Like No Other featuring The Dead Daisies, comedian Don Jamieson and Rock & Roll trio The Black Moods.

The Tour will kick off in style on September 10th at the APOLLO Theater in Rockford Illinois and will play a series of theatres and synonymous rock venues across the country. Each show will deliver an essential dose of undiluted rock featuring the dueling guitars of Doug Aldrich and David Lowy, the monstrous beats of drummer Tommy Clufetos and featuring the “Voice of Rock '' himself, Glenn Hughes.

Don Jamieson is an Emmy Award Winner known as one of the hosts of VH1’s That Metal Talk Show. The Black Moods hail from Tempe, Arizona playing raw amplified Rock & Roll, described as fiery and the very definition of ‘swagger’. Their latest single “Sunshine” hit the Top 20 Billboard Active Rock charts.

“We are extremely happy to announce the Like No Other Tour rolling out this Sept/Oct .... We’ve just returned from our Get Out Of The House warm-up dates and looking forward to delivering the main course. We’ll be ready to kick ass with all of our friends, so see ya there!!”– Doug Aldrich

This time around the band will be trialing a new signing initiative where you’ll be able to enter a virtual queue being mindful of keeping everyone safe. Thirty lucky fans will get the opportunity at each show, so you will need to get in quickly to join the digital queue – more details to come!

The Daisies are releasing a new very short film for their current hit single “Like No Other”. This second version will feature live footage from the recent Get Out Of The House warmup shows and give fans a glimpse of what’s to come.

What seemed to be a crowd favourite on the warm-up shows was a track from the Holy Ground Album “My Fate”. So, watch out for the radio edit to be released to fans and radio on August 6th…

This will be THE DEAD DAISIES’ first national tour of the US since 2018 and will be supporting their most recent studio album HOLY GROUND which hit the Top 10 Charts in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, UK, Canada, Sweden and Japan and spawned four Billboard top 20 singles at rock radio in the last year.

The band also launched their own radio program LIVE FROM DAISYLAND, which is featured on DASH Radio’s Monsters Of Rock channel. The Dead Daisies didn’t stop there, the global shutdown also saw the launch of their own mobile video game Daisys Revenge, which continues the story of anti-heroine Daisy, who was previously featured in the band’s “Bustle And Flow'' and “Like No Other” videos.

So, Get Ready for a night of laughs and ROCK! A night LIKE NO OTHER...

Ancient Roman Metal Gods EX DEO Joined by Unleash The Archers Vocalist Brittney Slayes on New Single, "Boudicca (Queen Of The Iceni)"

The Thirteen Years Of Nero out August 27, 2021 via Napalm Records

Pre-Order HERE

Juno Award-nominated symphonic death metal band EX DEO recently announced the release of their upcoming full-length album, The Thirteen Years Of Nero, out August 27, 2021 via Napalm Records! On The Thirteen Years Of Nero, the collective transports the listener back to Ancient Rome with 10 cinematic masterpieces that tell the conceptual story of the reign of Emperor Nero. Accented by sounds of ancient instruments like lyra and harp and detailing the harrowing stories of Nero’s surroundings, close allies and enemies, listeners will connect with intense psychological tones of political turmoil and paranoia.

Today, following the release of their bludgeoning first single "Imperator” and its equally brutal, bloody music video, EX DEO have revealed their standout second single, "Boudicca (Queen Of The Iceni)" featuring the powerful pipes of Unleash The Archers frontwoman Brittney Slayes!

Frontman Maurizio Iacono says about “Boudicca (Queen Of The Iceni)”:

“Queen Boudicca has been a symbol of freedom and rebellion in England since her ultimate sacrifice on the battlefield defending her people and their beliefs. Rome, in full expansion and under the rule of emperor Nero, was on a mission to annex Britain as a Roman province after the death of King Prasutagus (Boudicca's husband). The Roman treaty died, and so did peace.

The song embodies the tense exchange and mind frame of Boudicca against the Roman Empire's invasion and occupation. We are thrilled that Brittney Slayes of Unleash The Archers accepted the invitation to guest and deliver a powerful performance on this song. There's no one that better embodies the fighting spirit of Boudicca in metal than Brittney - the choice was clear. Prepare to be transported to ancient times of war and let the metal flow!"

Guest vocalist Brittney Slayes of Unleash The Archers adds:

"I was beyond excited to get the invite to be a part of this project! I am a huge EX DEO fan, plus I love the history and mythology they always incorporate into their albums, so it was a huge honour. Not to mention getting to 'play' the role of the iconic and powerful Boudicca was the chance of a lifetime! I have always been inspired by the warrior queen of the Iceni and could not wait to lend my voice to her part. Here's hoping everyone enjoys this track as much as I do!"

Watch the brand new music video for “Boudicca (Queen Of The Iceni)” below

EX DEO returns with more massive, brutal soundscapes than ever on The Thirteen Years Of Nero! The Canadian unit is led by founding frontman Maurizio Iacono (Kataklysm) and producer/guitarist Jean-François Dagenais (Kataklysm, Misery Index, Despised Icon), with the stylings of Stephane Barbe (Kataklysm) on lead guitar, Jeramie Kling (Venom Inc.) on drums, Dano Apekian (Ashes of Eden) on bass and Clemens Wijers (Carach Angren, Lindemann) manning the intense orchestral score.

The Thirteen Years Of Nero pierces through the silence with its first auditory spear, “The Fall Of Claudius”, immediately drawing the listener in with a savagely heavy, grooving riff, ground-shaking swells and warning strings and horns. Discordant harmonies collide as a mosh-worthy battle riff chugs and pinches through the center of the song, showcasing the ruthlessness to come. “The Head Of The Snake” and unforgivingly immense “Britannia: The 9th At Camulodonum” balance sinister, spectral-like channels with up-tempo elements, racing like a chariot of symphonic death metal influences that careen the listener back to a sonic dimension of time forgotten. Standout opus “Boudicca (Queen Of The Iceni)” features the deft vocal stylings of Unleash The Archers frontwoman Brittney Slayes, the album’s weightiest thunderous percussion work and a glistening guitar solo, while the embers of pulsing “The Fiddle & The Fire” spark as the track traverses methodically yet steadfastly, like an iron striking a blade. “Son Of The Deified” and “What Artist Dies In Me…” bestow some of the album’s most strikingly dynamic guitar work, as well as ominous instrumentals, orchestral and choral pathways, before closing with the superb epic “The Revolt of Galba”. The track ebbs and flows between grooving, eerie piano-laden riffs and crystal-clear flourishes bestrewn with soaring strings.

With The Thirteen Years Of Nero, EX DEO have released their finest work yet while telling a timeless story of political intrigue, suspicion, evil and tyranny!

Maurizio Iacono says about The Thirteen Years Of Nero:

“When it comes to Ancient Rome, the content is long, rich and extensive, the personalities reflect every society imaginable from just, fair and generous to greed, evil and merciless. The world we live in today was shaped by Rome – it doesn’t take much see it all around you in the simplest things. For this record, it was the proper time to fallow the timeline of one Rome’s most controversial figures, Nero. On this album, we follow him through his thirteen-year journey as emperor of Rome and unveil the true face of one of the world’s most worshiped villains.”

Preceded by the single 'Saturday Night (Hallelujah)’, a post-Covid party anthem, "Wired" sees the Swedish quartet delivering some of the best songs of their career. It’s a much needed uplifting monster of an album in the aftermath of the pandemic age.

"All over the world, people have coped with this mess in their own way. Our way was focusing on the good times ahead, which we believe comes through in the songs we wrote. Good thing we didn't know how long it was gonna take when we started, or we would have ended up writing a rock opera.That's probably best left to others..." says the band of the album.

Over the last few years, Eclipse have performed to audiences around the globe, including the U.S, Japan, Australia and Europe and have opened for giants like Aerosmith and the Scorpions. Their albums have amassed millions of streams and charted in several European countries. With the momentum of their last studio album "Paradigm" propelling them, “Wired" promises to push them even further up the rock 'n roll mountain.

"Ironically enough, after Paradigm we said that we were gonna try to release music more frequently. But, here we are pretty much two years later. Again. Although this time through no fault of our own. But we wrote songs that we wanted to play live and we can't wait to finally get back at it. Buckle up people, it's party time!" concludes the band.

Melodic Metal Tribute Band UNION BLACK is the newest project from current Gruesomeand former Malevolent Creation drummer Gus Rios. Yesterday, the band released their first single, covering the hit track from American new-wave icons Information Society, "What's On Your Mind". For the music video, the band partnered with Metal Insider on the premiere, which can be found here.

Speaking about the band's cover of "What's On Your Mind", Gus Rios shares:

"I've had this idea floating around for over fifteen years. Insert a global pandemic, over a year off from practically any musical activity, almost dying from COVID...and I finally made it happen! For our cover of 'What's On Your Mind' by Information Society, I was simply humming the verse melody in my head one day and couldn't remember what song it was! Then it hit me and I thought 'man, this would make such a killer metal tune!'"

Rios goes on to add:

"I went into my studio and tracked the whole thing myself. Hector (Rios) added synths and I sent it off to Matt Laplant (Skindred, Nonpoint, Sikth) to mix and master. We couldn't be happier with the end result! The video was shot and directed by Ileana Frey of Blind Beast Productions. My concept was to have a visual contrast which to me is similar to what we do musically. One part brutal metal and one part beautiful melody."

About UNION BLACK:

UNION BLACK is the brainchild of current Gruesome and former Malevolent Creation drummer Gus Rios. Gus was a guitar player first before focusing on the drums so he's going back to his roots as the guitar player and singer for UNION BLACK. The band is rounded out by his brother Hector Rios on lead guitar, Sondra Hemmerick on bass and Ruston Grosse from death metal legends MASTER on drums. UNION BLACK takes songs from artists such as Depeche Mode, NIN, Information Society, and Type O Negative and reimagines them with all of their collective influences. Traces of thrash, Florida death metal, and goth metal are all melded with the darker melodies and creates new much heavier versions of these already amazing songs.
