After giving several tempting teases with a few singles released in the past year, the on-the-rise L.A.-based hard rock duo Satellite Citi will self-release their anticipated new full-length album Fear Tactics on September 3 – a follow-up to their acclaimed 2018 debut EP Negative Space.

Helmed by producer Brad Wood (Smashing Pumpkins, Placebo, Liz Phair, Touche Amore), Fear Tactics sonically features a wide range of inspiration from Black Sabbath to Muse to Halestorm. And the message of the album thematically centers around the importance of mental health, while also representing the band’s own struggles of coping with fear and anxiety, even more apparent in today’s culture.

“Musically, Fear Tactics is a hard rock record and undoubtedly heavier than our previous work. We strive to find a good balance between bringing back guitar riffs, and having memorable vocal melodies,” says the band.

As Huffington Post has declared of the band, “Satellite Citi are on the road to delivering audiences with music that tackles important issues that our society is facing today.”

Their latest singles highlight this focal point for the band. Released in May, “Empath” is centered around the five stages of grief – Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance – and aimed to help end the stigma surrounding mental health. The acoustic version of the song premiered via MXDWN here: https://music.mxdwn.com/2021/06/11/news/mxdwn-premiere-satellite-citi-shine-a-light-on-mental-health-in-new-video-for-empath/

In late 2020, Satellite Citi also released “Antibody,” featuring Crobot’s Brandon Yeagley, dedicated to the people of Armenia and bringing awareness to the latest attacks on the country beginning in late September 2020 that killed hundreds of innocent civilians and displaced thousands more. See the evocative music video premiered by Loudwire here: https://loudwire.com/satellite-citi-antibody-video/

The band, featuring drummer/vocalist Anna Gevorkian and guitarist Shaunt Sulahian, are both Armenian-Americans born and raised in Los Angeles. They first launched Satellite Citi in 2015 with the eloquent track “Rock Bottom” to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Fear Tactics continues their promising trajectory.

Preorders for Fear Tactics can be reserved via the band’s Bandcamp page: https://satelliteciti.bandcamp.com/

All preorders will come with an automatic, free digital download of the acoustic version of the track “Empath.”

To celebrate the release of the album, Satellite Citi will host an all-ages album release show at Troubadour in West Hollywood, CA on Saturday, September 4. The bill also features Love Ghost and supporting acts Chasing Desolation and Hvnted.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door, and a percentage of ticket sales will be donated to Sweet Relief Musicians Fund and the Check Your Head Podcast in support of mental health and music industry professionals in need. Masks will be required in accordance with local guidelines and the band will be giving out Satellite Citimasks at the show. Buy tickets here (including a free shirt with the purchase of 2 tickets):

A regular fixture on the stages in their hometown of Los Angeles, Satellite Citi is joined live by two anonymous Spacewalkers on bass and guitar that further taps into the band’s curiosity of other realms and advanced life forms. The band’s name, in fact, is based off of the idea of a city, outside of our galaxy, where people communicate with their minds.

In addition to music, Anna and Shaunt love video games and writing—they are currently working on their first original sci-fi graphic novel called Spacewalker with former DC editor Jim Higgins, that will coincide with a new concept EP in 2022. Satellite Citi also has five songs featured in the recently released rock documentary Long Live Rock…Celebrate The Chaos, directed by Jonathan McHugh, that features bands such as Metallica, Korn, Slipknot, and Rob Zombie. The trailer can be viewed HERE. As well the band’s song “Getaway” is featured in the new show “The Freak Brothers.”

THE JEREMY EDGE PROJECT ANNOUNCE LIVE DATES FOR SUMMER AND FALL

mail-39.png

This summer/fall of 2021, the Jeremy Edge Project will be hitting the road to do some shows in the northeast.

The band will be sharing a bill with Randy Hansen's Hendrix Experience on August 28th in Addison, NY, and also co-headlining the Cowanesque Rock and Blues Fest in Knoxville PA with Dustin Douglas and the Electric Gentleman on September 5th.

Edge: "It feels great to be playing live again. 2020 was a rough year for everyone, but I am still grateful we got a chance to write and record a lot of music. Now it's time to get out there and get to work!"

A video performance of the Cream/Robert Johnson classic, "Crossroads" (cover by The Jeremy Edge Project -The Garage Sessions) can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/UCFo9Ja2t2E

Currently supporting the 2020 self-titled release and recent "Garage Session" series of videos, Edge has a new full length album in the works, and is looking forward to a late 2021 release as follow up to the 2020 debut. That LP was released on vinyl, CD and digital outlets, with the single "Firedancer" hitting #9 on Foundations and #22 on Billboard's indicator charts.

The album featured guest appearances by Brett Hestla and legendary blues guitarist Josh Smith.

The trio, which features Ray Geida on drums and John Delowery on bass, also recently won the Central Pennsylvania Music Association award for "Best Rock Band”.

Edge: "The new record is shaping up to be another mixed concoction of styles. Not a ‘true blues’ record, not just ‘throwback 70s,’ and certainly not all modern rock, but it's all going to be mixed in there. I've been getting back into the stuff my older sisters used to expose me to growing up - all the great 70s and early 80s stuff people forget like, Grand Funk, Rare Earth, Uriah Heep, April Wine, Aldo Nova, Johnny WInter, Free, T Rex, Humble Pie, James Gang etc., and it's coming out in the music. I've been on a soul kick lately too. It's going to be fun!"

Singer/Songwriter MASSIE Releases New Single "Eating Me Alive" feat. Shayley Bourget (Dayshell, Of Mice & Men)

mail-99.jpeg

"Eating Me Alive" can be Streamed/Downloaded at

https://songwhip.com/massie/eating-me-alive

Sacramento, California singer/songwriter MASSIE released her brand new single "Eating Me Alive" that features Shayley Bourget (Dayshell, Of Mice & Men).

“We all have our demons. Everyone is dealing and struggling with one thing or another. Eating Me Alive is a dialogue between a person and the devil on their shoulder. For me, the song represents how social media makes me feel. It can be hurtful, and negative, a let down and a big discouragement but I continue to give into it. Our generation has become a generation of addicts . Addicted to technology and the high from it. We crave attention in new ways that previous generations haven’t. But we aren’t only addicted to technology and social media and attention. We struggle with alcoholism, getting high, adrenaline, living up to beauty standards, fitting in. I think it all causes that thought ‘I hate myself’. We just need to remember that we ARE loved, we ARE wanted, we ARE worth and you are NEVER in this alone”says Massie.

The single was also produced by Shayley Bourget who was quoted as saying, "Working with Massie was a breeze and a breath of fresh air. Although I’m fairly new to this whole producing and writing music for other clients gig, she was a client to remember. Out of all the people I worked with she was by far the most prepared. Being a vocalist myself and understanding how much work goes into being a great singer, she came in and sang like she wanted to be a star. From her pitch to her delivery, near flawless! When a producer is with talent like that the energy and the ideas naturally come to life. That’s where magic begins. She’s got it all. Talent, respect, professionalism, beauty and grace. Everything a person needs to be a star. I expect great things in her future. The sky and beyond is the limit for this young lady."

Massie is a singer/ songwriter from Sacramento, CA. Hailing from a diverse background of musical endeavors, she is gifted with a wide vocal range, from smooth airy melodies to driving edgy choruses. Since she was 10 years of age, she has been writing her own songs in relation to life events and emotion.

Throughout her music journey she has worked with Thrasher, who has engineered for artists such as, Travis Barker, Machine Gun Kelly, jxdn, and more. In addition to working with Thrasher, she has worked with Earl Cohen, a Grammy award winning producer in New York, Brian Grider and Misha Hercules, based in Los Angeles.

IRON LIZARDS Biography:

No fucks given. No trends. Iron Lizards blast their guitars and make music alive once again. Raw riffs, and with no unnecessary shit in their songs. Straight on, no fuzz, and loud screaming guitars. Iron Lizards make you feel the wild and dangerous side of rock’n’roll. They make you remember the hazy days of the alternative '90s. Combining the roughest part of music history, Iron Lizards are a true statement in this time and age. Be ready to testify, Iron Lizards will make your ear pukes of the loud and unfiltered joy of unsophisticated music.

Iron Lizards are a power-trio from Paris, France. The band was formed in 2015 by Elio with their goals already set; honoring the old gods of Detroit (MC5, The Stooges) whilst paying their homage to the 90’s action rock scene (The Hellacopters, Zeke, New Bomb Turks). This was then mixed with influences taken from everything from 60’s garage punk to 80’s punk hardcore (Zero Boys, Minor Threat, Gang Green) and psychobilly (The Cramps). Their first EP was released in 2016 by German JanML Records, following this with playing as the opening act for bands such as Get Dead, Zeke, Mammoth Mammoth, Sonic Wolves, The Hip Priests, and Christmas. In 2021 the band signed with Swedish The Sign Records to release their debut album: Hungry for Action.

ROCKBORN ANNOUNCE RELEASE OF “ROCK ME HARDER” SONG/VIDEO

ROCKBORN’s new single/video, “Rock Me Harder,” is set to drop on August 6th – which will serve as a preview of the group’s forthcoming brand new studio album (arriving in spring 2022).
Comprised of members Lu Reid (vocals), John Lyell (guitar), Dino Serna (bass), and Gary Gabaldon (drums), ROCKBORN is a female-fronted heavy rock band that is intense, sexy, bluesy yet edgy with raspy, sassy power vocals performed with dynamic emotional passion.

Dark, tasty guitar riffs and funky fresh bass lines are lifted up to the stratosphere by hard-hitting, solid drum rhythms and powerful, soaring vocals. ROCKBORN creates music with heartfelt lyrics, emotional depth, melodic intricacies that have modern, contagious hard energy, down-to-earth classic grit, heavy with mystical “Zeppelinesque” romance and enduring timeless appeal.

The “Rock Me Harder” single/video sums it all up perfectly, which can be experienced here:

And to stream the new song please pre-save here: http://smarturl.it/1ptyr3

“‘Rock Me Harder’ was born out of a couple of rough ideas between John, who had this incredibly heavy riff, and some lyrics I had been toying with for quite some time,” explains Lu. “His riff gave me a shove in the right lyrical direction. I needed the foundation and inspiration that his riffs gave me to finish the lyrics, and of course after hearing Dino and Gary throw in their ingenious licks to John’s riffs, I was able to come up with the melody lines and the phrasing needed to kick this song into gear.”

“Overall, this song is a culmination of the synchronicity of all the members of ROCKBORN. I’m very pleased with the ferocity and impactful energy that John, Dino, Gary and I gave to this very powerful female empowerment song. I hope that everyone, digs on this fantastic groove that Gary and Dino masterfully perform and also the badass riff and the brilliant lead guitar of John. Most of all I want women to know that they deserve what they want and they can have what they want. Just be bold and ask for it, like ‘Rock Me Harder’ does!”

ROCKBORN is perfectly poised to build upon the buzz created by the Michael Wagener-produced, engineered and mastered previous album, ‘Born to Rock,’ which spawned the popular video “Reasons Why I Cry,” which has received 2.25 million views on YouTube. “Rock Me Harder” most certainly delivers!

3TEETH Return With “Paralyze” Featuring Ho99o9 & Co-Produced By DOOM Composer Mick Gordon Ahead Of Forthcoming Album; Supporting Cradle Of Filth This Fall

Industrial Insurgents 3TEETH Return

With Scathing New Track + Video For “Paralyze”

Featuring Ho99o9 & Co-Produced By

DOOM Composer Mick Gordon, Also Currently Working With The Band On Forthcoming Album

3TEETH Will Dominate The Stage Again This Fall

As Direct Support For

Cradle Of Filth’s North American Tour +

An Anticipated Set At Welcome To Rockville Festival.

Two years after their gripping album Metawar was unleashed, setting off all kinds of alarms about the self-destructive path humanity has been treading on, industrial act 3TEETH makes their mighty return with the brand-new track and vicious video for “Paralyze.” The unruly new song pits the band alongside track collaborators Ho99o9 for a gritty electro-industrial metal mashup; it was also co-produced by DOOM composer Mick Gordon for an extra layer of techno-apocalyptic sheen.

See the video for “Paralyze” here:

Listen to the track “Paralyze” here: https://orcd.co/paralyze

Like all of their previous standout material, 3TEETH isn’t here to mince words on the newest release, with frontman and creative lead Alexis Mincolla saying the track was inspired by seeing people paralyzed by the hysteria of the current socio-political climate.

“Everyone seems to be heading into a visionless future and unable to do anything about it. The paralysis seems to be contagious as we all know things have to change, but it seems easier to imagine the end of the world then it does actual change at this point,” he says. “The media-induced tribalism keeps us in a gridlocked state of cultural schizophrenia as we continue to be trapped in the shadow of our progress. This song was aiming to reflect the frustrations and the horror that we all experience in our current state of waking sleep paralysis these days.”

3TEETH began working on “Paralyze” a year ago in the deserted quiet of Joshua Tree where they holed up to get away from the palpable anxiety of their hometown of Los Angeles to begin work on their fourth studio album that will be released via Century Media Records. The material is currently being wrapped up with the accomplished sound designer Mick Gordon (best known for his work on the gaming phenomenon DOOM) co-producing the tracks, bringing in another dimension to the band’s unmistakable sound.

Says Gordon, “3TEETH are one of my favorite acts. They proudly fly their own unique flag. The new album charts course through the next stage of our vanity-led evolution as a species, and by that I mean the album is a world unto itself. I’m just stoked that these guys have allowed me along for the ride.”

Paralyze” is the first taste of the new, to-be-announced record. To amplify its message, 3TEETH teamed up with explosive punk-industrial-rap duo Ho99o9, a visionary act in their own right that they originally toured with in 2018. Of the track, Ho99o9 says, “This is only the beginning of an incendiary snowball effect. The nuke is yet to come.”

3TEETH will also make their anticipated return to the stage this fall, an artistic arena where they dominate with a dizzying spectacle that mixes futuristic, neo-cyber design with a voluminous sound that is nothing short of a sensory trip. The display of force has logged them tours with the likes of Rammstein, Tool, Ministry, HIM, Danzig and Ghostemane. Currently, they are slated to provide direct support for Cradle Of Filth on their ‘Lustmord and Tourgasm’ North American Tour beginning October 1, followed by an appearance at Welcome To Rockville Festival in Daytona Beach, Florida on November 13.

Burning The Oppressor Sign to the Candle Light Label + Share "Warrior" Lyric Video — WATCH + LISTEN 🕯️

Candlelight Records is excited to announce signing Canadian death metal quintet Burning The Oppressor and the release of new album DAMNATION on October 29.

The band has released the first single from album, "Warrior," featuring guest vocals from Beyond Creation's Simon Girard.

Watch the lyric video for "Warrior"

Pre-order Damnation here.

"It is with great pride and enthusiasm that Burning The Oppressor joins the legendary and incredible Candlelight Records roster," the band says. "Working with such an experienced and professional team means a lot to us. We grew up listening to the artists who have evolved on this label, and now we are part of it...It's amazing!"

On the upcoming album, the band shares, "We are extremely proud to present our next album; Damnation, produced by Christian Donaldson (Cryptopsy, Shadow Of Intent, Ingested, Despised Icon, Beneath The Massacre, Beyond Creation). As an album with heavy social criticism where the dark side of the human experience coexists with mental illness and degradation, we are confident that we will be able to make the metalheads headbang to the sound of our music."

Burning The Oppressor was founded in 2012 by passionate musicians with different influences and armed with remarkable stage dynamism. With intense texts and brutal riffs, BTO puts into words and sounds the trials of modern life and the sufferings of a society in turmoil. Militant in favour of social equity and the inclusion of all people, the band denounces discrimination and oppression through its work.

Strong from their experiences and numerous performances, from the early days at the Montebello Rockfest Festival to the latter days at Heavy Montréal Festival, BTO's reputation is now stronger than ever. The name still resonates in the minds of all of those who have seen them live. The band has taken the metal scene with strength and burned down each and every venue it has performed at. It proudly shared the stage alongside great bands such as Skeletonwitch, Mass Hysteria, Tagada Jones, The Agonist, Beyond Creation, Jungle Rot, The Browning, The Acacia Strain, After the Burial, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Jinjer.

Burning The Oppressor also left its mark with its three previous albums: The Ignition (2012), Verbal Aggressor (2013), and Bloodshed (2017). Each of these albums were nominated for "Best Independent Metal Album" at GAMIQ Awards and Bloodshed won the public's choice award for the "Metal Album Of The Year" in 2017.

With their forthcoming album, Burning The Oppressor will raise the rage to new heights and pursue its ascent on the metal scene. Armed with its groove death metal, the Canadian lineup is ready to rip your ears apart with blistering, yet catchy riffs, energy and passion.

TNRA Share "Istok" VIdeo

RUSSIAN CELESTIAL BLACKGAZE TRIO TRNA RELEASE ATMOSPHERIC "ISTOK" VIDEO —

NEW ALBUM ISTOK OUT DIGITALLY ON SEPTEMBER 3 VIA CANDLELIGHT

PHYSICAL VERSION ARRIVES OCTOBER 1

Russian celestial blackgaze trio TRNA have released the music video for "Istok," the title track of their upcoming new album, out September 3 via the fabled Candlelight Records. Pre-order the album here.

Watch the "Istok" music video

The black and white music video for "Istok" follows the narrative of two protagonists, a white-cloaked figure and a black-cloaked figure, as they encounter each other's presence in a cornfield. The video visually tells the story of the album — to meditate on the importance of nature, finding inner peace, and gaining a viewpoint on life and the world.

On the inspiration for the debut music video, the band states, "It was written, directed, shot, and cut by our friend Gleb Kolotov in September 2020. It was the first time we did something like this. We hired actors, costumes, rented lenses and lights, and we think it all paid off in the end. The hard thing was to write the screenplay based on our vague descriptions about the track's meaning and what the album is about. In the end what we have is a beautiful music video with a plot and we’re really thankful to all of Gleb and his crew for helping us so much."

TRNA want to take you on a journey. Not to their Russian homeland, but beyond that, to a place not on any map, where the trio's dreamy "celestial blackgaze" can properly get beneath your skin and into your mind. With their fourth album, Istok — their first for Candlelight Records — they're pushing even further into the unknown.

The band formed in 2013 in Saint Petersburg, following the breakup of similarly blissful-minded outfit Princ Persii. Though not wanting to limit themselves to a genre, the tag of "celestial blackgaze" fit so well that it stuck – descriptive enough to catch their vibe, loose enough to have no walls. The band list artists like Wolves In the Throne Room, Panopticon, Amenra, Godflesh and shoegaze pioneers Slowdive as influences. But TRNA exist very much in their own otherworldly space.

Istok impresses with its vastness, its depth and its message. Recorded at Dobrolet Studios in Saint Petersburg and, in part, in their rehearsal space, TRNA wanted Istok to meditate on the importance of nature, and in finding an inner peace from which to get a viewpoint on life and the world.

"What is 'Istok?' 'Istok' is the place where all begins, where you go when you feel that you can’t bear your everyday life," the band explain. "It's the great nothingness where you find peace. It’s the salvation and relief. But to get there is a whole journey and it's different for everyone. TRNA is always about nature. Of course we would like our music to speak for us and reading what people say about how they feel listening to it makes us believe that we manage to somehow get the message across."

Across Istok, this takes many forms, from a more gentle serenity to cascading eruptions of black metal. The opening title-track bursts with glory and wonder, while "Echoes of the Past" is a blastbeat-led rager, and the 13-minute instrumental "Shining" is the euphoria after a storm. It all stems from the same purpose, and beautifully locks together to create an intense emotional journey.

New Music From Black Foxxes

BLACK FOXXES TO RELEASE EXTENDED VERSION OF THEIR SELF-TITLED THIRD ALBUM – PRE-ORDER HERE

DIGITAL DELUXE FEATURES FOUR NEW TRACKS + ARRIVES SEPTEMBER 17

LISTEN TO "45"

"’Black Foxxes’ is an album that showcases the band’s sheer talent, proving them as not just one of the best alt-rock bands around, but one of the more interesting bands around. Period." — LINE OF BEST FIT

"More assured than ever… a band reinvigorated" —DORK

"There are just so many little touches that lift Black Foxxes from your usual post punk gee-tar drudgery offered by so many wannabes… an impeccable album” — NARC

"In avoiding the middle of the road, this trio has stumbled upon a new wellspring they’ve soon mastered how to draw from" — KERRANG!

Black Foxxes have announced an extended version of their critically acclaimed, self-titled album. Originally released back in January 2020, the new digital deluxe version features four brand new tracks and will be available on September 17 across all digital platforms.

Pre-order here.

"The digital deluxe release of this record is something we wanted to do immediately upon writing the songs a couple of years ago," the band explains. "We knew the length of the record would be too much to include everything in the initial release, but now that those first nine tracks have had time to set in for everyone, it feels like the perfect time to release the extended version."

Check out the brand new single "45"

"'45' was actually written years ago with the old line up," says Black Foxxes main man Mark Holley. "It just felt like a nod back to the early days of the band during the ‘I'm Not Well’ release. It's just straight up raw. With the way our band is writing music now it feels miles away from the heaviness of this sound, but that's one thing we said from the offset: that there would be absolutely no limits when it came to genres. It feels nice to throw in one of our heaviest tracks whilst writing some super wanky and pretentious album 4 material. Get a guy that can do both, y’ know?"

ABOUT BLACK FOXXES:

Over the course of two albums (2016's I'm Not Well and 2018's Reidl), Black Foxxes main man Mark Holley established his band as a potent creative force, carving out a signature spot on the emotive rock 'n' roll map backed by strong, growing support from fans and media alike. With singles/videos such as "Husk." "I'm Not Well," "JOY," and "Manic In Me," the clip for which was filmed in Iceland, a key source of influence for Album 2, it became increasingly clear that Holley is an artist prepared to shed protective layers — an artist with plenty to say and a particular way of tapping into thoughts, feelings, and fears. And now, with Album Number 3, the Bristol-based singer/songwriter/guitarist has done even more to bind music and personal message into a cohesive body of work — nine compelling tracks recorded quickly with a brand new rhythm section (drummer Finn McClean and bassist Jack Henley, a longstanding friend), plus a trusted team member in producer/mixer Ade Bushby, who helmed the desk on both previous outings. From the very start, the intention was to keep instinct, musical integrity and the chemistry between the players right at the fore, with no second-guessing of the market and no attempt to stem or to edit the musical flow — a flow that takes in synths, distorted vocals plus a battery of left-field sounds (inspired by Bristol’s alternative DIY culture), along with a broader range of lyrical subject matter. After 18 months spent searching for that "magic sweet spot," this is Black Foxxes in the raw, unfiltered, unfussed with. No rules, no labels, all on the line.

EMPLOYED TO SERVE RELEASE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR "MARK OF THE GRAVE"

NEW STUDIO ALBUM CONQUERING OUT SEPTEMBER 17 VIA SPINEFARM — PRE-ORDER HERE

Employed To Serve have released the music video for their latest single "Mark Of The Grave." Check it out

"Mark Of The Grave" is the second single from the forthcoming album, Conquering, and demonstrates the band at their most metal yet. The video is a trip, to say the least...

"With this video we just wanted to have fun," says frontwoman Justine Jones. "After months of being cooped up inside, we wanted to focus on a project that was more light-hearted. We shot the music video at Miracle Theatre in Cornwall with director Ryan Mackfall. The theatre was kind enough to give us free reign of their studio and stage costumes. Everything was shot in front of a green screen to maximize the opportunity to have fun with the edit. We then sent over a few notes to VFX artist Nadav Rotem and assistant Jake Potter, as soon as they came back with Sammy doing a solo on a flying, flaming skull, I knew it was going to be my favorite video — it's wild and we love it."

Conquering releases on September 17 and is Employed To Serve's second full-length album on Spinefarm.

Drawing influence from the music of their youth and a new perspective on how to nurture the positive aspects of humanity and individual growth, Conquering is a celebration and acknowledgement of triumph in the face of a world that can be relentlessly adversarial. The band began recording the album in the "unforgiving winter" of 2020; produced and mixed by Lewis Johns at The Ranch, Southampton, mastered by Grant Berry at Fader Mastering, Employed To Serve took the time thrown at them by a world stopped still to write their most visceral material to date.

Pre-orders are live, with an instant download of singles, "Exist" and "Mark Of The Grave,” plus special bundle options.

ABOUT EMPLOYED TO SERVE:

Employed to Serve's origins are essentially humble, with the core duo of Justine Jones (vocals) and Sammy Urwin (guitar/vocals) initially starting the band as a two-piece grindcore project backed by a drum machine. Early experiences on the UK festival scene expanded their horizons and perceptions of what weightier music could be. Seeing heavy-hitters such as Converge, Meshuggah, and Glassjaw alongside smaller but no less important acts like Rolo Tomassi, Veils, and The Chariot inspired the duo to develop their vision. 2014's Change Nothing Regret Everything EP operated as a stepping stone into full band territory, before 2015's critically acclaimed debut album, Greyer Than You Remember, became their calling card, followed up two years later by The Warmth of a Dying Sun, then their 2019 Spinefarm debut Eternal Forward Motion. Employed to Serve have already proved themselves as a searingly intense and honest live experience, sharing bills with the cream of the crop of modern heavy music, including Code Orange, Bury Tomorrow, Stick To Your Guns, Loathe, Counterparts, and Underoath. They’ve also decimated stages at some of the UK and Europe's leading music festivals, the likes of Download, Glastonbury, Graspop, and Hellfest. And the accolades are unstoppable; from their Kerrang! Album of the Year win back in 2017, achieving the assumed impossible with a KKKKKK (yes, that is 6 K's!) live review, landing in Metal Hammer's reader and staff Top 10 Album polls, and a 2020 sold-out Underworld performance, to a plethora of cover features across Music Week, Metro Weekend, Upset, and Kerrang!, Employed to Serve are unflinching at the forefront of metal innovation.

ABOUT SLEEP TOKEN:

Beneath the Sleep Token banner, lies the unique, broad-based vision of one individual — anonymous, silent, masked, armed with a staggering vocal range, a deft touch on the keyboards, plus a live approach that is never less than fully engaged. The UK underground entity only known as Sleep Token, fronted by Vessel, began the Sundowning ritual June 20, 2019 with "The Night Does Not Belong To God." Sleep Token began to release their "offerings" bi-weekly, released Thursday's at Sundown BST with accompanying visualizers. Each offering had its own emblem, establishing the Sleep Token universe on the debut album Sundowning. On June 18, 2021, the cycle began again but born anew. The new album This Place Will Become Your Tomb pushes the boundaries of Sleep Token's sound into new avenues of blurring genres while still retaining the signature sound.

PINK TURNS BLUE reveals video for 'You Still Mean Too Much To Me'

"Consistent purveyors of quality guitar-laden post punk and dark-bent indie rock... one of the most honest and most direct enduring acts in post punk today" ~ Destroy // Exist

"The timeless message is driven home with a timeless sound composed with refined effect" ~ Post-Punk.com

"There are bands which have had high ranks in the charts and still have a place deep in the heart of many fans. One of those bands is the German Dark Wave legend Pink Turns Blue" ~ Reflections of Darkness

"When it comes to actual darkwave, Berlin’s Pink Turns Blue are rightly regarded as one of the founding acts... from their earliest 80s material on up to the present, they have also been one of the finer exemplars of continental postpunk" ~ CVLT Nation

Iconic post-punk band Pink Turns Blue has unveiled the video for 'You Still Mean Too Much To Me', a beautiful film to their new single. Portraying figures who are utterly alone, introspective, and seeking an elusive connection, this video echoes themes of isolation felt during the process or working through grief over the loss of a loved-one.

This past week, the band announced that their new album 'Tainted' will be released in autumn on limited edition vinyl, CD and digitally via Orden Records.
They also recently shared two enticing 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.

'You Still Mean Too Much To Me' is out now everywhere, 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.
