Diablo Swing Orchestra Release "Celebremos Lo Inevitable" Video

NEW ALBUM SWAGGER & STROLL DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE OUT NOVEMBER 2 VIA CANDLELIGHT/SPINEFARM

The unstoppable octet Diablo Swing Orchestra continue fearlessly on their musical rollercoaster ride.

The band is hurtling towards the release of their stupendous fifth album Swagger & Stroll Down the Rabbit Hole, out November 2 via Candlelight/Spinefarm, with the video for "Celebremos Lo Inevitable."

Watch the video

Guitarist/vocalist Daniel Håkansson says, "The song draws inspiration from the Mexican holiday Día de Muertos and its celebration of friends and family members who have passed on but still live in our hearts and through our memories of them. It's our first song in Spanish and since we wanted it sound authentic, we had a Mexican vocal coach in the studio just to get the pronunciation correct."

The spirited, progressive eight-piece Swedish ensemble are known for pairing elements of jazz, swing, classical, and progressive rock with just about everything in between. Since their foundation in 2003 the band have released four studio albums which push musical boundaries to the extreme with humour, creativity, and a healthy dose of positive aggression. Their debut The Butcher's Ballroom was a breath of fresh air when it came out in 2006 to worldwide critical acclaim. Swagger & Stroll Down the Rabbit Hole is the band's fifth effort and is by far their most ambitious undertaking, which pays tribute to all four previous releases and adds some new colors to their already broad pallet of sounds.

DSO have once again teamed up with producer Roberto Laghi (In Flames, Hardcore Superstars), who has become almost the ninth member of the orchestra. Together, they've dug deeply into each of the genres explored in the 13 album tracks and worked hard to find the appealing genre characteristics to forge their own sound. This approach has resulted in an impressive list of guest musicians and some very interesting clashes between sounds which, at least on paper, shouldn't work. Listeners with an open mind will be rewarded by numerous goodies littered throughout the album, ranging from the tribal assault that is "War Painted Valentine" to the Zeppelin-gospel-infused "Snake Oil Baptism."

As with many bands, COVID-19 presented multiple challenges but also presented opportunities, which allowed them to take their time in the studio since there was no tour waiting to happen. The mixing process alone took over half a year but Diablo Swing Orchestra are confident that they've produced an album that will leave an indelible mark, while inspiring others to try out fresh ideas on genre-blending.

The Great Leap Forward (BIG FLAME's Alan Brown) presents 'It's a Wonderful Lie' from 'Revolt Against An Age of Plenty' LP

"First there's the jagged guitar melodics, sweet but never tacky. Then there's the ferocious rhythmic drive. But best of all there's the stylish and witty use of found voices...snatches and snippets of speech and propaganda that are integral to the songs" ~ Stuart Maconie, NME

"An artist with quite the pedigree in terms of output, touring and originality... Cleverly worded, cynical (or is that realistic?), catchy and danceable – a winning formula" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

"Meeting the advent of the synthesizer ethic head-on" ~ The Guardian

"Full of wordy thoughts on the state of this nation set to an infectious, chirpy dance beat" ~ Ian Gittins, Melody Maker

"Pop shimmering down urban lanes, sprinkling hard dance diatribes, infectious melodies, and lyrics with substance" ~ Up Town Magazine

The Great Leap Forward presents 'It's a Wonderful Lie', a tongue-in-cheek critique of our modern lifestyle and expectations, lifted from his new long-player 'Revolt Against An Age of Plenty'. His first album in nine years, this vigorous, scintillating and life-affirming 13-track offering is released via Europe's A Turntable Friend Records.

This is the solo project of British multi-instrumentalist songwriter and lyricist Alan Brown, well known as frontman of Manchester agit-postpunk icons BIG FLAME. His legacy as an underground artist dates back to 1983. Featured on the influential C86 NME cassette with BIG FLAME, Brown also recorded nine John Peel sessions for BBC Radio One with BIG FLAME (4), The Great Leap Forward (2), A Witness (2) and Inca Babies (1).

Since BIG FLAME's split in 1986, Brown has channeled his work as The Great Leap Forward, writing all songs and lyrics, as well as playing and programming all instruments on recordings.

The new LP features Brown's trademark political digs and social commentary, with incisive political and social commentary layered over sharp yet melodic guitar pop – plus a touch of electro and humour thrown in for good measure.

Earlier, he previewed the title track 'Revolt Against An Age of Plenty' with video by Richard Gardner, railing against mass consumerism and media control.

"The culmination of four year's writing, this album has a more varied approach than previous releases. Whereas previously I've concentrated on a political approach, this album takes a wider view of the world - perhaps it's an age thing - last year (2020) saw me reach a milestone birthday which I explore in the song 'Can You Kanreki?’, celebrating the Japanese concept of second childhood and re-birth for those hitting 60," says Alan Brown.

"Of course I still provide the trademark political and social vignettes - how could I not - such as the title song of the album 'Revolt Against An Age Of Plenty' – named after a collection of works by the English writer Jack Common in which I rail against mass consumerism and media control."

The Great Leap Forward debuted with the ‘Controlling The Edges Of Tone’ EP in 1987, followed by 1988's ‘A Peck On The Cheek À La Politique’ EP, described by the NME as "conspicuously excellent" and the 12-inch single ‘Who Works The Weather?’

1988's debut album ‘Don't Be Afraid Of Change’ was praised by The Guardian, Melody Maker and other leading magazines, leading to UK and Europe tours with the likes of That Petrol Emotion. In 2007, The Great Leap Forward reformed, releasing albums ‘Finished Unfinished Business’ (2008) and ‘This Is Our Decade of Living Cheaply and Getting By' in (2012).

Released on July 30, the 'Revolt Against An Age of Plenty' LP is available as a coloured double-vinyl gatefold LP and gatefold CD with 16-page lyrics booklet. It is also everywhere online, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp.

Bullet For My Valentine Release "Rainbow Veins" Video

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE RELEASE OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE "RAINBOW VEINS"

SEVENTH STUDIO ALBUM BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE OUT NOVEMBER 5

PRE-ORDER HERE

Bullet For My Valentine have released the official video for current single "Rainbow Veins."

Arguably their most stunning yet, this new music video completes a collection of visceral and instinctive clips honed by creative director, Fiona Garden. Garden and singer/guitarist Matt Tuck have worked closely and intensely across all accompanying imagery around Bullet For My Valentine's upcoming seventh studio album, marking a distinct visual era for the band.

Watch the official video for "Rainbow Veins"

"Rainbow Veins" is taken from their forthcoming self-titled album Bullet For My Valentine, which is due out November 5 via Spinefarm/Search & Destroy.

"'Rainbow Veins' is out now and we couldn't be happier for you guys to finally hear it," the band says." It is one of our favorite tracks from the upcoming album and we're sure it’ll be one of yours too. Turn it up!"

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 Brown, 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.

Pre-orders are now live here, with an instant download of singles, "Knives," "Parasite," and "Shatter." Special bundle options are available, including a unique clipping from the backdrop used on the bands "Venom" world tour from 2015-2017, t-shirts, hoodies, gold and silver cassettes, and limited vinyl.

Bullet For My Valentine recently made history by headlining the Download Festival Pilot event at Donington Park just last month. Kerrang! summed their performance up perfectly, saying, "Sharp, slick, and with every shredding solo sounding immense, they nail a full-stop onto the weekend with confidence and power."

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE ARE:

Matt Tuck — Vocals + Rhythm Guitar

Michael "Padge" Paget — Lead Guitar

Jamie Mathias — Bass

Jason Bowld — Drums

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.

John Oates explains; “Playing the Troubadour in LA has been a "rite of passage" for live musicians for 64 years and Daryl and I played our first show there opening for the late great Harry Chapin in 1973. Over the years I always loved seeing shows and hanging out there with musicians and friends...returning to play again in 2008 was a full circle moment for me and the vibe was amazing.”

‘Live At The Troubadour’ was initially released in CD and DVD format in 2008, however this is the first time the album will be available for fans in vinyl format - and it’s sounding bigger, better and more iconic than ever! This release adds to Daryl Hall and John Oates’ extensive and highly successful discography, which is still resonating with existing and new fans across the globe.

Reflecting on the recorded shows, Daryl Hall whimsically adds; "It's always interesting to return to the scene of the crime."

One of the most sampled artists today, their impact can be heard everywhere from boy band harmonies, to neo-soul to rap-rock fusion. 

In 2014, Daryl Hall and John Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, an achievement matched by their legendary discography, superstar status, and raft of monster hits spanning five decades..

BLACK WATER RISING Release New Single + Lyric Video for "You Found The Sun"

New York stoner rock outfit BLACK WATER RISING have released a new single, titled "You Found The Sun". The new track is the second offering from the band's upcoming studio album, which will see an early 2022 release and features original guitarist John Fattoruso, who rejoined BWR in 2019. Black Water Rising's new material promises to be more melodic, yet still as riff-heavy as previous BWR albums; featuring hooks and catchy choruses to pull you in, all while retaining a musical identity of its own.

Watch the lyric video for "You Found The Sun" below.

Singer/Guitarist Rob Traynor, "Once again, we are psyched to be releasing some new music. 'You Found The Sun' is a groovy song, so we made a trippy lyric video for it. Spark one up and enjoy the ride!"

About BLACK WATER RISING:

Black Water Rising is a collection of soul-baring, angst-ridden, riff-heavy material that is proudly anchored in the foundations of traditional hard rock songwriting. Giant guitar-driven monster riffs served up on a bed of crushing grooves with soaring melodic vocals and big hooks. Basically, NO FRILLS RIFF ROCK! Lyrically the message is socially and politically driven by the dark times we live in. With darkness seemingly growing by the day, BLACK WATER RISING is a name that fits this band like a glove. The philosophy of BWR is simple, they are not looking to reinvent the wheel, they just want to give it a much needed alignment in these musically stale times.

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

Rob Traynor - Vocals/Guitar

Mike Meselsohn - Drums

Check Out Dave Navarro Comments On Seeing Society 1 Perform In New Documentary "The Altered Noise"

Dave Navarro Comments On Seeing Society 1 Perform In New Documentary "The Altered Noise"

In the recently released documentary The Altered Noise, directed by Matt ZaneDave Navarro sat down to discuss his thoughts on seeing Society 1 when they were booked on his 2008 show Spread TV. Within the interview he mentions how Matt Zane is "an incredible frontman" but his attention was pulled immediately to recently deceased former bassist DV "Dirt" Karloff.

"As incredible as a frontman Matt is it was nearly impossible not to 
stare at Dirt. " said Navarro

Within the clip Navarro talks about knowing Zane for years and feels 
fortunate to have seen Society 1 at that time. Years later Navarro and 
Zane would eventually share the stage together performing Static X 
material in honor of the late Wayne Static.

Society 1 will continue to perform and just announced 2022 dates with 
Static-X, Fear Factory, and DOPEJimmy Minj, who will be playing bass, reached out to DV Karloff prior to his passing asking for his blessing 
to fill the bass duties.

mail-197.jpeg

"I had seen Dirt play in Society 1 numerous times so I reached out to 
him. He told me of his current situation and encouraged me to audition, even going so far as to give me some pointers about the songs and Matt’s writing style. Thanks to his help, I was brought in as the new Society 1 bass player and I certainly have to some HUGE shoes to fill!!" said Minj

The Altered Noise follows Karloff through various phases of his career and 
also touches upon his incredibly successful profession as a tattoo artist that 
saw him inking up celebrities such as Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, 
and Steve-O.

"His life really was interesting, regardless if you're a fan or not. He was 
this young guy from the cornfields of Indiana that came out to Hollywood and 
within eight months he's touring the world and that was just the 
beginning of the story," says Zane.

See the full film on Youtube now. Watch Navarro discuss his experience 
at the 46:44 minute mark.

VERSUS ME Release New Single "DOWN"

VERSUS ME released their new single "DOWN" to all major platforms today via ONErpm.

"The song is about the fight or flight response and being beaten down by life's trials. I wrote this song as I was about to board a flight for my first time flying. The nerves were getting to me and everyone’s advice on flying wasn’t really helping. So I started writing the lyrics as I was sitting in the airport terminal. The resulting song is a high energy and emotionally honest message that we feel as a band, anyone could relate to" says James Milbrandt, the band's vocalist.

Versus Me is a four piece metalcore/active rock band from Wisconsin that has made a name for themselves with a rabid fan base, slick production and the drive to take the world by storm. Having toured with national acts such as I PrevailFamous Last Words and ever a staple at WJJOs events such as Taste of Madison and Sonic Boom which hosted acts such as BeartoothStarset, and Five Finger Death Punch — Versus Me delivers an intricate blend of metalcore and rock with a modern pop edge that's sure to get the blood pumping.

Madame Mayhem Releases New Single "I Am More" + Official Music Video

MADAME MAYHEM released her new single "I Am More" to all digital platforms! The single was co-written by Madame Mayhem and Keith Wallen (of Breaking Benjamin).

"I Am More" is very much about self empowerment, standing up for yourself and telling the world not to underestimate you. It's a song that really gives confidence. We are all stronger than we know" says Madame Mayhem.

She adds, "This song is so personal for me. When I perform it, all the frustration, emotion and attitude that flowed through me when writing it comes right back. Writing with Keith Wallen is always a pleasure, and this song came about so seamlessly, it really was like telling a true life story about how I was feeling. Having my mentor Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, Winery Dogs, Sons of Apollo) playing bass on this track made it even more special and added to the awesomeness of the groove in this song."

Those who yearn for the electric catharsis of loud guitars, driving rhythms, hypnotic 
hooks, and the strength of shared experience have a new muse in Madame Mayhem.

The Manhattan born singer/songwriter takes charge of her own anxiety, hurt, and alienation, crushing it with sheer force of will, then channeling the remaining ether into pulse-pounding anthems, instantly connecting with anyone who has struggled.

She’s shared stages with Sevendust, Memphis May Fire, Fozzy, Nonpoint and Doro. Across three exceedingly well-received albums – Ready for Me (2017), Now You Know (2015), and White Noise (2012) – Madame Mayhem worked with Russ “Satchel” Parrish (Steel Panther), Corey Lowery (Seether), Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (ex-Guns N’ Roses), and Troy McLawhorn (Evanescence) to name just a few. Her 2019 single “Broken” was co-written with Keith Wallen (Breaking Benjamin) and features her longtime friends and collaborators Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, Winery Dogs, Sons of Apollo) and Ray Luzier (Korn)“Breaking Down”, which Madame Mayhem co-wrote with Brian Vodinh (10 Years) and also produced by Johnny K, was released in 2020. She once again collaborated with Keith Wallen for the February 2021 single release of “Cruel Heart”. This song was produced and arranged by Johnny K (Disturbed, Megadeth, Sevendust, Finger Eleven). The current release, “I Am More” is already getting rave reviews. Written By Madame Mayhem and Keith Wallen, produced by Johnny K and includes Keith on guitar, Billy Sheehan on bass and Jason “JBomb” Harrison on the drums.

Her music has taken her into some of the world’s best-known venues, like B.B. King Blues Club in New York, The Roxy in Hollywood, and a Grammy week stint at Nashville’s Bluebird Café, to name just a few. Loudwire premiered her “Ready for Me” music video. She’s garnered very positive press in Revolver and Guitar World. The buzz has spread overseas as well, demonstrated by profiles in long-running tastemaker publications like Rock Hard, Aardschok, and Metal Hammer magazine.

As the fashion press observed, the look is the medium and the music is the message. The self-expression inherent in goth and glam are just more colors on Madame Mayhem’s artistic palette. Black eyeliner and black leather; pink lips and sharp spikes; it’s part of an arsenal as timeless as the New York Dolls or The Runaways.

There’s no escaping the darkness. Life is full of unpleasant surprises. Real and imagined disasters, from outside forces and from within, threaten at every turn. But those who learn to control and command the chaos will triumph. This rock n’ roll badass invites each audience to become the Madame of their own Mayhem. As ASX declared, “She’s aggressive, outrageous, and operatic… And she’s ready for you.”

AS I LAY DYING Release New Single, "Roots Below"+Share Details For Deluxe Edition Of Shaped By Fire!

Today, San Diego quartet AS I LAY DYING has released a video visualizer for their new single, "Roots Below". Staying true to the sound they are known for, the track is the first single initially written during the Shaped By Fire writing sessions. Watch the visualizer below.

Phil Sgrosso states, "'Roots Below' was a track I initially wrote for the Shaped By Fire album, but at the time we collectively felt it needed more time and attention to develop to its fullest potential. We were finally able to piece it all together along with some other material taken from the Shaped By Fire touring cycle, bundling it all into a deluxe version of the album. Apart from the studio versions of 'Roots Below' and 'Destruction or Strength,' there will be an assortment of live songs captured on tour from 2019 in Europe, several ballad/electronic re-interpretations, a studio version of an instrumental track we wrote exclusively for the live show, an instrumental version of the entire album, as well as some other transitional pieces from our set that we wanted to share as part of this release. This has been a very productive first step towards getting back into the creative zone and beginning to focus on new material for next year."

Today, the band also shares details for the deluxe edition of Shaped By Fire which is scheduled for later this year. Stay tuned for more information.

As a true master of his craft, Tuomas Saukkonen once again invites the listener on a dark journey through the spheres of melodic doom.

Alt Metal Hybrid Project We Are PIGS Releases Bold Animated Video For “Kids” Via Metal Hammer; Featuring Brian “Head” Welch &

Alt Metal Hybrid Project

We Are PIGS

Releases Bold Animated Video For “Kids”

Via Metal Hammer

Producer / Songwriter / Artist Esjay Jones

Teams Up With Brian “Head” Welch & JR Bareis

(KORN, Love And Death)

On Powerful New Song, Inspired By HBO Show “Euphoria”

See the Video below.

“Kids” Follows Previous We Are PIGS Releases

“MOOT” (Featuring Morgan Lander Of KITTIE) &

“Duality” (Slipknot Cover With Terry Corso From Alien Ant Farm), With More Works To Be Released Soon

Today, We Are PIGS in collaboration with Brian “Head” Welch and JR Bareis (KORN, Love And Death) release the bold new animated video for the track “Kids” via Metal Hammer. Featuring each artist in caricature, the video – like the song – aims to bring attention to the challenges faced by today’s young generation and lets them know they are not alone.

See the powerful video (animated by Dave the Creator) here: https://youtu.be/XbD0O7TR1ns

While it can be challenging growing up in current times, We Are PIGS, Brian “Head” Welch and JR Bareis want kids to know that there is always hope. As Welch told Metal Hammer about the new art piece, “For youth today, the world can be a particularly dark place, filled with many temptations. But there is always help available if one reaches for it, as the red balloon symbolizes in the video.”

The song was produced, engineered, co-written and co-sung by Esjay Jones, the mastermind behind We Are Pigs, and was originally inspired by the HBO show “Euphoria” and its raw portrayal of sex, drugs, identity, social media and the difficulties of navigating life as a teenager. Similar to the show, Jones, Welch and Bareis wanted the music video to be uncomfortable and thought provoking.

As Jones has said, “I spoke to Brian about the concept – initially thinking the message was, the ‘kids AREN’T alright,’ but as we started working together, we wanted to spread positivity, hope and purpose to youth with our words, and ‘kids are alright’ became the mantra.”

To further that message, part of the proceeds from the sale of “Kids” will be donated to organizations We Are Moving The Needle and The Whosoevers Movement aimed at uplifting, empowering and providing education and purpose for today’s youth. Find the track here: https://onerpm.link/kids

Says The Whosoevers Movement, “Our generation today faces many more distractions and problems than ever before. Drug abuse, depression, broken families, self-harm and suicide are just a few of the issues they have to overcome.” We Are PIGS hopes to provide a beacon of light with “Kids” and encourages fans to check out and support these organizations as well.

We Are PIGS is Esjay Jones’ alt metal hybrid project characterized with a pig-masked front woman that combines brutal riffs, brazen screams and ethereal melodies with strong lyrical messages. After debuting with a cover of Slipknot’s “Duality” (featuring Alien Ant Farm’s Terry Corso) in 2020, followed by original single “Pulse Queen” in early 2021, We Are PIGS has found an incredible following and support through playlist placements on Spotify, Amazon Music and Apple Music.

Recent releases have included “MOOT” featuring KITTIE’s Morgan Lander and “Blood Diamond,” a collaboration with M.O.B. In addition, Jones has worked behind the scenes as a sought-after producer for acts including Grey Daze (Chester Bennington) and a soon-to-be-released collaboration with Billy Corgan.

About We Are PIGS/Esjay Jones

We Are PIGS is the alt metal hybrid with brutal riffs, brazen screams and ethereal melodies created by South African born producer / songwriter / artist Esjay Jones. In the summer of 2020, We Are PIGS made its debut with a cover of Slipknot’s “Duality” and the first original single “Pulse Queen” followed at the tail end of the year that has boasted 15 additions to editorial playlists between Spotify, Amazon Music and Apple Music. Esjay Jones has been highlighted recently by the Recording Academy as well as recognized for solely producing the much-anticipated second LP for Grey Daze (Chester Bennington’s first band), matching his vocals with collaborations from Dave Navarro, Richard Patrick (Filter) and Bennington’s 9-year-old twin daughters, Lila and Lilly. Esjay has also worked with Sean Kingston, Jeffree Star, Olivia Holt, Escape The Fate, Mystery Skulls with Nile Rodgers and Brandy, Chester Rushing (Stranger Things), Alien Ant Farm, and many others. Esjay has had over a decade of success in the music industry: during the first part, she cemented herself as one of South Africa’s top rock vocalists fronting Durban-based band Stealing Love Jones. The band achieved mainstream success with four #1 Singles, as well as sharing the stage with major international acts like One Republic, Fall Out Boy, Violent Femmes, Seether, Jimmy Eat World, and many more.

Mark C Daniel releases new single "Sign Za Life"

NEW YORK, NY: Releases his new single/video for "Sign Za Life" (10/1). Mark C. Daniel shares that 2021 has been a wild ride so far and it kicked off with a phone call from one of Mark's long-time heroes Dean Deleo of Stone Temple Pilots. This excitement for music Mark continues to embody in the work he produces. His sound is a classic hard rock n roll buzz and the vibe he delivers is supremely notable.

Working with Mickey Curry on drums, and Marc Hickbox on bass all the crosshairs of great rock have converged into one. Along with the production value witnessed clearly on this single, "Sign Za Life", Mark once again places a notable order that signifies stellar rock n roll.

Mark knows just what great music can do and how it connects all of us, "I'm amazed how music brings us all together and am absolutely thrilled for this release. I very much look forward to sharing it with you." Mark C. Daniel

Without a doubt, the bands' listeners are ready to rock out to "Sign Za Life" too!

BAND MEMBERS: Mark C. Daniel - Vocals & Guitar,

Mickey Curry - Drums & Marc Hickox - Bass

“This was the last song we recording in this session and the first take of it. Mickey Curry - Drums(the Cult, Bryan Adams, Alice Cooper) felt like adding a few John Bonham-'esque punches in the Verses. It created an interesting dynamic and added a “Zeppelin Feel.” We are all huge Classic Rock fans so it felt great. I let the electric energy of the live room take over which is interesting in that I actually wrote this song on an acoustic as a slow-burning Blues song. It felt like we were going to go off the rails a few times but that’s exactly what gives the song its honesty and true to form edgy feel.” -Mark C. Daniel

Recorded: Horizon Studios, West Haven, CT USA

MWX Audio, Utica, NY USA

Engineered by: Vic Steffens, Matt Wagner

Mixed and Mastered by Matt Wagner

ABOUT MARK C. DANIEL

After attending Berklee College of Music, Mark toured the US and supported a wide range of artists such as Steve Vai, members of Pearl Jam/Blind Melon (Unified Theory), Everclear, Buckcherry, Eric Gales, Vertical Horizon, Disturbed, Corrosion of Conformity, Living Colour and more.

Performing Coast to Coast USA, appearing on multiple festival bills and iconic venues such as The Viper Room in West Hollywood, Mark constantly refines his Hard Rock/Blues inspired sound around his Songwriting.

He met Mickey Curry-Drums (Hall & Oates, The Cult, Bryan Adams) through a mutual Producer friend, Vic Steffens, and they began recording and collaborating. To complete the sound he brought in Bassist extraordinaire and close Berklee friend Marc Hickox.

Terrance Hobbs comments, "Hope you all enjoy this live version of 'Pierced from Within'. This song has always been a staple of the SUFFOCATION arsenal as it's one of our favorite musical pieces to play. When going through the live recording and figuring out which songs to tease this release we didn't even have a second thought when it came to 'Pierced from Within' and we couldn't be more proud of how this live version sounds. This song has transcended almost 3 decades and still holds its potency in our set to this very day as well as being intricate with breaking major ground for us in the death metal world since its original release. Hope you all crank it out loud and let SUFFOCATION fill your homes with some of our best death metal through the years!"

Nita Strauss Enlists David Draiman Of Disturbed For New Track "Dead Inside"

Superstar guitarist and unstoppable force of nature, "Hurricane" NITA STRAUSS, has unleashed her brand new single, "Dead Inside" today, her first new music since the release of her critically acclaimed debut solo album 'Controlled Chaos' in 2018. But this time, NITA isn't coming alone. "Dead Inside" features her first ever solo collaboration with a vocalist and not just any vocalist, none other than DAVID DRAIMAN, frontman of Grammy Nominated rock icons, DISTURBED. Stream "Dead Inside" here and watch the official music video below.

"Dead Inside" is the kind of rare musical alchemy that can only be conjured by the serendipitous collaboration of two iconic hard rock powerhouses such as NITA STRAUSS and DAVID DRAIMAN. It kicks off with NITA's inimitably intricate lead guitar work that as the intro builds, it begins to snake its way around the ground-shaking, head-banging lead riff as JOSH VILLALTA's technical and bombastic drums kick in. Then comes the unmistakable vocal prowess of DAVID DRAIMAN as he delivers his unique signature brand of enormously catchy vocal melody and a stadium-conquering chorus. The song ebbs and flows through sonic and emotional dynamics and culminates with a brutally heavy beatdown into a final rendition of the chorus, ensuring that the lead hook will be replaying over and over in the listener's head for days.

Speaking on their history making collaboration, NITA STRAUSS shares

"This is my first time releasing my own music with a vocalist, and I am so honored to take this step alongside a legend like David Draiman. David’s voice and powerful lyrics took this song to a level I could never have imagined! And we are so excited to unleash this song on the world."

DAVID DRAIMAN adds

"Serendipity can be really cool. We’ve been friends for years.

Nita sent me the track…I didn’t have time to work on it right away…then in literally a couple of days, while killing time in Santa Monica, the whole thing just came together. Incredibly proud of how it turned out and honored to be a part of it."

NITA has been hard at work on her second solo studio album. More news to come on that soon.

NITA also recently announced that she will be hitting the road at the end of the year for her Winter Wasteland 2021 headline tour.The trek kicks off in New Orleans, LA on November 10th and hits a further 28 cities across North America, culminating in Angola, IN on December 18th. Tickets are on sale now (full dates and ticket links below). VIP packages are available here.

EXODUS - Release Lyric Video For Third Single, "The Years Of Death And Dying"

Pre-Order Available Here:
exodusattack.com/site/persona-non-grata

With a bond forged in youth and decades-old friendship, the undisputed masters of thrash metal return with their eleventh studio album, PERSONA NON GRATA due to be released on November 19th viaNuclear Blast Records. Today, the band releases the lyric video for the third single "The Years Of Death And Dying" which can be viewed below.

Tom Hunting comments, "'The Years Of Death And Dying' started out as a poem, from the perspective of Death, being a thinking entity, always watching and looking for weakness and opportunity to come calling for people. A Grim Reaper story. We were losing legends: Bowie, Cash, Petty, Prince, Frey…the list goes on and on. Then we started losing family members and friends in our own orbit. Anyway, the title came first, then the poem, which became a song. I shared the lyrics with Gary, who helped inspire me with phrasing to finish it, and the guys loved it. The song is really long, and more legends kept passing right up into the moments Zet was singing it, so I had to keep writing until I had enough to complete the song. We hope you enjoy our tribute to the fallen!"

    • Literally translating to “an unwelcome” or “unacceptable” person, PERSONA NON GRATA touches on themes of modern societal disgust and degradation. The band gathered at Tom Hunting's house in the mountains where they produced and recorded Persona Non Grata from three home-built studios. Steve Lagudi was at the helm of engineering while the band enlisted Andy Sneap of Backstage Studios to mix the album. For the third time in the band’s history, they returned to Swedish artist Par Olofsson to create the album artwork.
