IVORY BLUE lived a nomadic existence until settling in Kansas City, MO and becoming part of the local musical community. After winning a nationwide talent contest in 2017 Ivory Blue started having success with some national and international radio play which continues today.

As a multi-instrumentalist, Ivory began refining their performance style, using digital looping pedals to stack harmonies and guitar parts live on stage, giving their solo shows the feel of a full band. In 2011, Ivory settled in Kansas City, MO and quickly began attracting an intense regional following for their strong vocals and incisive, deeply personal lyrics.

By 2013, IVORY BLUE was playing regularly in and around Kansas City and the first EP Ready Get Set was released. in 2015. While the EP helped spread the word and got much attention from regional radio and TV stations, a big break would come in 2017.

Ivory entered NeXt2Rock, a nationwide talent search with over 1800 artists/bands who applied to find fresh and promising rock artists.

The top 5 national bands battled it off for the win in Los Angeles CA at the legendary Viper Room, with judges Scott Borchetta (BMLG), John Varvatos (fashion designer), Steve Jones (Sex Pistols Guitarist and Host of “Jonesy’s Jukebox”), Desmond Child (Musician, producer), Chris Lord-Alge (producer), Ivory Blue won over the judges and became the grand prize winner!

Ivory won the contest and a one-year record deal with BMLG who re-released the song "Ready Get Set" from the 2015 EP. Ivory’s 2018 re-release of "Ready Get Set" undauntedly received National and International airplay within weeks.

In February 2020 and after studying the craft of recording and self-producing, this amazing singer-songwriter with soaring vocals, passionate love for everyone struggling through life, released "Elite Dreamland." There are no words to describe the incredible artistry behind this song. a single that hits your heart about understanding how it feels to be misunderstood in a world of people that seem to know what they are doing.

IVORY BLUE produces all the tracks except for Drums and Bass. Ivory is currently working with Lester Estelle (Drummer for Kelly Clarkson), Craig Kew (Bass), Kurt Festge (Mastering | Citizen Kane & Violent Femmes) and Nick Poortman (LA based Producer, Engineer, Mixer, and Songwriter). Nick has worked alongside producers including Justin Gray, Gil Norton, Big Tank, and Greg Haver on sessions throughout the USA, UK, Europe, and New Zealand.

On August 18th, 2021, Ivory Blue signed a publishing deal with Sound Ballistics Music & Publishing out of Atlanta, GA.

After releasing "Family Tables" on Sept 7th, 2021, Ivory Blue is releasing "Good Changes" on Oct 26th, 2021, and is currently finishing a full-length album Compound Love to be released in January 2022 as well as the Red Light EP later that year.

Who knows what is next for IVORY BLUE, but so far, every step has been accounted for to reach that vision that continues to push them to success.

GOAT TORMENT Streams Entire New Album Ahead of Release

Belgian blackened death metal outfit GOAT TORMENT will be releasing their third full-length, 'Forked Tongues,' this Friday, October 29 via Season of Mist Underground Activists! The band is now streaming the entire new offering ahead of its release below.

"Forked Tongues" is available to pre-save across all streaming platforms HERE.

Pre-sales are now live HERE.

The black metal crusaders in GOAT TORMENT return with 'Forked Tongues,' their first new album/release in over 6 years. A blast furnace of primal satanic fury, delivering a savage onslaught!

GOAT TORMENT was formed in 2008 by Kwel and K.J. with the intention to create music as a weapon of mass destruction and to annihilate everything which the so-called society stands for. For a start Kwel was supposed to play bass and K.J. would handle the vocals. But they didn’t find a guitarist who fitted with the ideology on a serious level. Thus Kwel decided to handle all the guitar parts and K.J.. started to play bass. After some months of research, the band recruited drummer Perversor. Then the band released a 4-track demo tape, released in 2009 through Terrorghoul Productions from Austria. The reactions were tremendous and bigger labels contacted the band interested to release the future offerings of GOAT TORMENT.

At this point, the band shared stages all over Europe with bands such as Grave Miasma, Hell Militia, Enthroned, Black Crucifixion, Black Witchery, The Devil’s blood…to name but a few. At the beginning of 2010 GOAT TORMENT had to part ways with drummer Perversor due to musical differences. During the early days of April 2010 a new burning entity was found: S. claimed the throne behind the battery. The Death wielding Trinity of GOAT TORMENT was complete. New songs were written, gigs were played and blood was shed.

Exactly one year later, the band entered the infamous Blackout Studio in Brussels (BE) to record some tracks for two upcoming releases: A 7” split EP with The Beast which was released at the beginning of 2012 and later that year another 7” EP , called “Into The Mouth of the Serpent”. Directly after the split EP was released, Kwel an S. decided to part ways with K.J.. due to different views about their future. In that moment GT decided to go on as a duet recruiting session members for live-shows.

The band returned to Blackout Studio in the fall of 2012 to record their first full-length album ‘Dominande Tenebrae’ ,which was released in February 2013 by Amor Fati Productions from Germany. After a year of a few European shows, the band had their first live appearance on American soil (Maryland Deathfest XII). The band had plans to go on as a four piece, but that didn’t work out because of different views. A South American tour was planned for August 2014 with the Belgian maniacs of ENTHRONED, but the two bands were forced to cancel one month before due to the irresponsible promoter.

In September 2014, S. decided to leave the band, due to other personal priorities and having no time anymore for drumming. It didn’t take long for Kwel to find somebody to take over the hammers. A new era began and Torturer (Mor Dagor, Bethlehem, ex-Belphegor) joined GOAT TORMENT as a new full member, so the duo was complete again. The band returned to Blackout Multimedia Studio in the beginning of 2015 to record their second full-length album.

In the summer of 2015, ‘Sermons To Death’ was released by Amor Fati Productions. The band toured the US West Coast in October 2015, accompanied by Saroth and Vagus Nox as live members. Shortly after, Vagus Nox joined forces to write new material. At the end of 2020, the third studio album ‘Forked Tongues’ had been completed.

The new offering delivers ultraheavy darkening passages that only serve to temper the relentless blasting speed. 'Forked Tongues' is musical punishment writ large, and sounds as if forged in the crucible of hell!

Charitable Project SAVE THE NOIZE Announces New Benefit Track "Save The Noize 2" - Out November 19th!

Save The Noize is a charity project started by Rasmus Harnesk Wiklund (Hårdrock - För Fan! - Podcast, Corey Duvette, Veritas) and Jesper Lindgren (Velvet Insane) at the end of 2020. The project was started to aid the Musikerförbundets Crisis Foundation. In April 2021 the song “Save The Noize '' was released via Sound Pollution Distribution on digital/streaming platforms, along with a music video for the song. The track was written by Erik Modin (Wildness) and Martin Sweet (Crashdiet). The song was produced by Roger Bergsten (Nevo Studios) and mastered by Thomas Plec, with the music video being produced by Gustav Kronfelt, who has done music videos for Dregen and Electric Boys, to name a few. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted everyone, and notably career musicians, both in Sweden and around the world. Because of this, musicians from the U.S., Sweden, Norway, and Denmark came together under the banner of Save The Noize to raise money for charity. This movement is reminiscent of Swedish Metal Aid in 1985 or Hear 'n Aid in 1986, where musicians came together for charity. But this time, this new wave of artists are coming together to save their own jobs and help their community weather the storm.

Artists that appeared on this modern and socially relevant track (Save The Noize 1), to name a few: Tony Harnell (TNT), Jesper Binzer (D.A.D), Åge Sten Nilsen & Trond Holter (WIG WAM), Pontus Norgren (Hammerfall), and Ryan Roxie (Alice Cooper). A total of 30 something musicians and artists came together for this common cause.

Now, after this massively successful project, Rasmus Harnesk Wiklund and Jesper Lindgren present 'Save The Noize 2'! The next offering from Save The Noize is a pure follow-up to the first track. It's the same track but in a totally new and different take. Fewer artists are guesting the second track but bigger names get to take part, with the focus on the international market. With this new version and the accompanying music video, the mission is to show that the light at the end of the tunnel is finally here. Musicians can slowly but surely come out and play, return to the road, and come back to their jobs. We want to give hope and show that we made it through this together! And just like the first iteration, 'Save The Noize 2' will benefit the Musikerförbundets Crisis Foundation.

"Save The Noize 2" is scheduled for release on November 19th, 2021 via Sound Pollution!

We present the lineup for Save The Noize 2:

Dee Snider - Vocals (Twisted Sister, Solo)

Michael Starr - Vocals (Steel Panther)

Johnny Gieoli - Vocals (Hardline)

Howie Simon - Vocals/Guitar (Jeff Scott Soto, Stryper)

Kee Marcello - Guitar (Ex Europe, Kee Of Hearts, Out Of This World).

Jimmy Jay - Bass (H.E.A.T)

Eric Bazilian - Vocals (The Hooters)

Martin Thomander - Guitar (Electric Boys)

Per Soläng - Drums (Corroded)

Chaq Mol - Guitar (Dark Funeral)

Martin Sweet- Vocals (Crashdiet)

Niklas Isfeldt - Vocals (Dream Evil)

Nalle Colt - Guitar (Vintage Trouble)

Carl Sentence - Vocals (Nazareth)

Jens Werner - Rhythm Guitar (Veritas)

Corey Duvette (Rasmus Harnesk Wiklund) - Backup Vocals/Choir (Veritas, solo)

Jesper Lindgren - Rhythm Guitar (Velvet Insane)

Alex Kron - Keyboard/Organ (Bad Baron)

David Åkesson - Backup Vocals/Choir/Arrangement of choirs. (Qantice)

The song is produced once again by Roger Bergsten (Nevo Studios) and mastered by Thomas Plec. The music video was produced by Martin Sweet (Crashdiet), and the album cover was created by Michelle Rudolfsson.

Top 40 Rockers Kingdom Collapse Announce 'Unbreakable Part 2' US Tour Dates with Special Guests VRSTY and Silent Trust

Hot off the heels of their run with Nonpoint, KINGDOM COLLAPSE have announced the 
'Unbreakable Part 2' US tour with special guests VRSTY and Silent Trust that begins on November 6th in San Antonio, TX at Fitzgeralds.

Kingdom Collapse have paved the way for unsigned bands by going straight to #1 on the Sirius XM Octane Big Uns Countdown amongst competition from major labels with their single "Unbreakable", after 12 weeks on the countdown. The single had already received early love on Octane's Test Drive with Jose Mangin stating "This is going to be a big time Octane future hit. I can already freakin’ tell.” The single has become the band’s second consecutive top 40 hit in a row, already nearing 3,000,000 million Spotify streams in a matter of a few months.

In addition, the single has also been picked up by the Adrenaline Workout, Kickass Metal and New Metal Spotify Editorial Playlists!

Kingdom Collapse - Unbreakable (Official Music Video):

Relevance. It is one of the most innate human desires; to know that we are not alone and that others go through the same struggles. This is why the Texas-based band, Kingdom Collapse, is carving out their spot in the rock world. They seek to give a voice to people who share similar troubles and crave relevancy in an apathetic world.

The world responded to a relevant theme of betrayal when their first single, “Suffer,” amassed over 7,000,000 YouTube views and 1,100,000 Spotify streams organically. The group’s 2020 hit radio single, “Uprise,” broke into the Billboard Mainstream Rock Top 40 as well as the Mediabase Active Rock charts for 9 weeks straight. “Uprise” went on to become Sirius XM Octane’s #1 Most Played song for two consecutive weeks and has since accumulated over 2,000,000 Spotify streams, tipping the band’s total stream count over 6.5 million.

The group features Jonathan Norris on vocals, David Work on guitar, Aaron Smith on bass and Elijah Santucci on drums. Together, with a mutual vision, they are bringing their shared experiences to the masses and looking to help as many people as they can with a feeling of solidarity.

The band’s 2021 follow-up radio single, “Unbreakable,” is an anthem that is emotionally honest and relevant to today's times. Written and produced by lead singer, Jonathan Norris and mixed/mastered by Chris Mora of War Horse Recordings, it sends a positive message to listeners by teaching that even life’s hardest moments can be a benefit. Norris writes, “‘Unbreakable’ comes from a lyrical standpoint of looking back at various struggles that life has thrown at you and coming to realize that those struggles ultimately made you stronger. We’ve all been there, and it’s about finding the silver lining in the midst of dark times.”

Kingdom Collapse has been playing stages across the US and has already shared the stage with the likes of 10 Years, From Ashes To New, Cold, Red, Saliva, Nonpoint and many other hard rock heavy-hitters. In May of 2021 the band signed with one of the leading booking agencies in the industry, Dynamic Talent International, and will be announcing more tour dates soon.

Halloween perfection while taking things up a notch." - SPIN

Like the undead slashers celebrated in their songs, Ice Nine Kills return with 'The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood', a sequel of gruesome movie-sized proportion to their No. 1 Billboard Hard Rock Album, 'The Silver Scream. Welcome to Horrorwood' carves out a fresh, bloody homage to the VHS celluloid classics that possessed singer and driving creative force, Spencer Charnas at an early age, with a devilish new twist. Speaking on the blockbusting chart success of his band's latest slab of horrifying brutality, Charnas shares

“Just like the killers who inspire us…our loyal Psychos just won’t DIE…Thank you for helping us slash and chop our way onto the Billboard charts. Remember that death is only the beginning…Long live HORRORWOOD.”

Ice Nine Kills released 4 tracks and accompanying music videos from 'The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood' prior to its release. "Funeral Derangements" (Pet Sematary) "Rainy Day" (Resident Evil) 'Assault & Batteries' (Chid's Play) and "Hip To Be Scared" (American Psycho).

Janisse and Chelsea Rebecca creators of the wildly popular Dead Meat James "Kill Count" Youtube series, legendary character actor Ricky Dean Logan (Freddy's Dead, Seinfeld, Back To The Future II), Ash Costello (New Years Day) and Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach).

The album itself features some huge guest vocal slots from Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach), Corpsegrinder (Cannibal Corpse), Brandon Saller (Atreyu), Buddy Nielsen (Senes Fail) and Ryan Kirby (Fit For A King).

WZRD BLD (As I Lay Dying, Emmure, A Day To Remember) produced The Silver Scream and returned for Welcome to Horrorwood. The album mixes the melodies, riffs, and wit that are the band’s signature, as heard in the Top 10 Mainstream Rock single “A Grave Mistake” and Top 20 hit “Savages.” Dan Sugarman (guitar & vocals), Ricky Armellino (guitar & vocals),Patrick Galante (drums), and Joe Occhuiti (bass & vocals) are the current co-conspirators behind Charnas, who founded the band as a teen in the early 2000s. Decadent, devious, and fiercely insane, Ice Nine Kills celebrate pop culture’s darkest edges, mining a cinephile library’s worth of iconic horror on The Silver Scream and The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood.The creative marriage made in hell of music and fiction began in earnest with the Top 5 Hard Rock album, Every Trick in the Book, which brought the previous three records’ themes to new levels.

The band’s synergy of music and lifestyle draws favorable comparisons to Slipknot and Rob Zombie. Visionary trailblazers and multimedia raconteurs, INK built a thrilling world for a growing legion of devoted true believers, with theatrical shows, high-concept videos, and inventive band-to-fan communion. Their wildly creative output has seen them become recent recipients of the prestigious Clio Award for Music Marketing for their "Merry Axe-mas" mobile game and their live streaming event from October 2020, The Silver Stream be nominated for 5 awards at this year's Horror Hound Film Festival Awards in the categories of Judges Choice, Best Sound, Best Supporting Performance, Best Cinematography and Best Feature. With over 1.47 million monthly listeners on Spotify, 410 million career streams to date, a combined social media reach of over 950k and over 74 million views on YouTube, the band are firmly cemented as one of modern metal's most vicious forces.

MAMMOTHOR Release New Single "TAKE THE WORLD"

"TAKE THE WORLD" releases October 1st, 2021 on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Pandora, Deezer, and wherever digital music is sold or streamed.

"Take the World" buy/stream link:

https://ampl.ink/bX9QP

Boston heavy rockers MAMMOTHOR drop a brand new single “TAKE THE WORLD” fresh off 
their latest full-length album, The Silence of Ecstasy... The Agony of Dreams, available now in CD format through retailer Bull Moose and later, on all major streaming platforms.

Mammothor spent most of last year recording and writing new material, entering The Halo Studioin Windham, ME to record with Kevin Billingslea (Lamb of God) and Chillhouse Studios in Charlestown, MA with Will Holland (Fall Out Boy). The new material has been mixed and mastered by Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Hatebreed, Shadows Fall), at Planet Z in Hadley, MA.

"TAKE THE WORLD" is the second single to be launched worldwide with new members Euz Azevedo (from Boston’s own Das Muerte) on drums, and Alex Muss (from Minsk-based Slaves of Insanity) on guitar alongside members Josh Johnson (guitar), Lori Gangi (bass) and Travis Lowell (vocals).

Written by Johnson and Lowell, "TAKE THE WORLD" is the fifth song in the album, and dives into the troublesome, but often addictive, world of toxic relationships. The song explores 
sociopathic behaviors that are emotionally and, not infrequently, physically damaging, 
surrounded by insecurity, self-centeredness, dominance and control. It is a topic all too familiar 
with a lot of people, and it often feels as if your “world” has been “taken” by someone, requiring 
an incredible amount of support and strength to overcome it.

Mammothor has toured and opened for heavy hitters MEGADETH, KORN, THREE DAYS GRACE, HED(PE), SALIVA, BUCKCHERRY, as well as 600,000+ streams on YouTube and current average of 34,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

Lions At The Gate Release Powerful New Single "Scapegoat"

LIONS AT THE GATE

Release Powerful New Single

“SCAPEGOAT”

Stream The Track Here

Los Angeles hard rock 5-piece, LIONS AT THE GATE have dropped their second single today. Titled "Scapegoat", the track is driven by massively heavy riffs, a thunderous rhythm section, intricate guitar work and the sublime juxtaposition of Cristian Machado's furious screams and soaring clean vocals. The track arrives accompanied by an official music video shot by Vicente Cordero. You can stream "Scapegoat" here

Speaking on the new track, frontman Cristian Machado shares

"Scapegoat was a song brought in by Ahrue. Everyone liked the song immediately, including our producer Kyle Odell. The instrumental had a chilling and beautiful metallic melody. I was quickly moved by the music and began to wonder about my own life. From there we began to sculpt a message. Dysfunctional people don’t want to apologize or make amends, they want to resolve what’s broken in them by damaging others. It’s their great misconception that the scapegoat will be weak and remain powerless when it takes great strength to carry a burden you bare no guilt in.

"Kyle and I realized early on that I was going through a very challenging time in my life with no outlet other than the music, and that perhaps this was what I needed to begin healing. A lot of painful memories were dug up and dealt with whilst recording. I am grateful the guys had the patience to help me work through it, and that music is still in my life. Hopefully these songs can speak to other like minded people and offer a sense of healing.

"The video for scapegoat is a performance art video. The band individually portrayed personal emotion as part of the art. Vicente Cordero’s approach allowed us to feel comfortable in an environment where the performance and the emotion is the focus."

Los Angeles, California based band LIONS AT THE GATE, featuring ex-members of Machine Head, Ill Niño, Westfield Massacre, and Silence The Messenger, proves that new horizons can always be climbed.

The band formed in late 2019, with a new lease on creativity and determination. LIONS AT THE GATE is led by acclaimed vocalist Cristian Machado who is joined by guitarists and fellow ex-Il Niño members Diego Verduzco and Ahrue Luster,bassist Stephen Brewer, and drummer Fernando Lemus.

Moving on from prior projects, the band’s musical foundation quickly began to form its own identity while expanding upon familiar territory. Having quickly attracted the ear of producer Kile Odell (Fozzy, Motionless In White, Cane Hill, Shaman’s Harvest, Through Fire) the band began recording new material in the summer of 2020. They released their debut single, "Not Even Human" back in June to huge excitement from fans old and new. To date the track has clocked up 125,000 streams and nearly 100,000 Youtube views.

Expect more from LIONS AT THE GATE soon.

"FROM RUIN... WE RISE"

SHADOW OF INTENT, one of the most exciting and revered bands to emerge from the metal world in recent years, have announced that their new album, 'Elegy' will be released on January 14th, 2022 via Blood Blast Distribution, pre-orders available now here.

Today's announcement comes highlighted by the release of the official music video for brand new track "From Ruin... We Rise".

Stream "From Ruin... We Rise" here and watch the music video here or by clicking on the image below.

Speaking on the band's new release, vocalist Ben Duerr share

"This song speaks about the inhumane suffering endured in the Ukraine. Surviving mass famine, slave labor, and essentially being used as cannon fodder in the world's largest war in history, the nation still retains their identity, even as they are gripped in civil strife. This song mourns their fallen, while hoping their innocents can remain strong, despite being locked in disarray and subjected to atrocities. Let this also be a reminder to our own compatriots that no matter the current political climate, no matter the disagreements, we will survive it, as we are one."

Since their formation in 2014, SHADOW OF INTENT have garnered a reputation for crafting mind-blowingly technical, prog tinged symphonic deathcore. Widely acknowledged as one of the forerunners of the current deathcore renaissance, the band's debut album 'Primordial' was named as one of Revolver Magazine's '15 Essential Deathcore Albums', with Metal Sucks giving their 2019 album 'Melancholy' a perfect 5/5 review, stating "you can expect Shadow of Intent to send echoes across metal for as long as they feel like making music". To date, they have clocked up 55 million streams, 21.5 million YouTube Views andhave nearly 200,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

ABOUT SHADOW OF INTENT

SHADOW OF INTENT is an American metal band based in New England originally formed by Ben Duerr and Chris Wisemanin 2014. The band continues to release their music independently including their first album Primordial (2016), second album Reclaimer (2017) and very recently their latest work Melancholy (2019).

The band name and lyrics were originally derived from lore from the Halo franchise and since then the band’s subject matter has become more dark and personal, while maintaining an element of fantasy and wonder. The band’s music is heavily built off of various different genres of metal including death metal, black metal, symphonic metal, progressive metal, and metalcore. SHADOW OF INTENT played their first live show at the end of 2017, which then lead to them embarking on several US tours with bands such as The Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel, Carnifex, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Despised Icon, and more.

2021 has brought about a new era of the band bringing singles “Intensified Genocide”, “From Ruin… We Rise” and a cover of Lamb of God’s “Laid to Rest”, foreshadowing the 2022 'Elegy' album release. The band further evolves their subject matter, touching on the atrocities of mankind throughout history brought about by warmongering, hatred, and greed. The signature SHADOW OF INTENT sound continues to evolve with a larger-than-life cinematic soundscape accompanying each track, bringing a sonic experience hitherto unheard.

HYPOCRISY Release Music Video For Second Single "Dead World"

With governments finally admitting that UFOs do in fact exist, and humanity attempting to heal from a state of the recent crisis, the timing couldn’t be more appropriate for the newest addition to the HYPOCRISY catalog: WORSHIP. Nuclear Blast Records. Today, the band releases the music video for the second single, "Dead World". Watch the video directed by Andrey Kezzyn and Cooldown Production, below.

Peter Tägtgren comments, "'Dead World' is a song that Sebastian wrote for our father/son project that never saw the light of day. When he started playing the song, I felt that the world needs to hear this crushing song asap as the groove and tempo blew my mind. The video idea came from our director Andrey Kezzyn and it's similar to my point of view of what’s about to come of the world. Maybe not literally, but who knows. Enjoy!"

WORSHIP. will be released on November 26th via Nuclear Blast Records. PRE-ORDER and PRE-SAVE Worship here: https://www.hypocrisyband.com/worship

Commonly inspired by the fusion of the modern and the ancient, HYPOCRISY has once more found a way to combine innovative ideas with classic sound in order to deliver something metalheads can enjoyably consume with awe and brutal vigor. As usual, all recording and mixing took place at Tägtgren’s Abyss Studio AB in Sweden while mastering was completed by Svante Forsbäck at Chartmakers Audio Mastering. Designed by artist Blake Armstrong(KATAKLYSM, IN FLAMES, CARNIFEX, etc.), WORSHIP’s artwork speaks to the history of the relationship between humanity and extraterrestrials.

https://thespideraccomplice.bandcamp.com/album/clinging-to-your-skin 

Los Angeles rock duo, THE SPIDER ACCOMPLICE, released their new single "Clinging to Your Skin" today via DI Records. The single was written by VK Lynne & Arno Nurmisto, mixed by Colin McGeoch at Matte Black Audio and mastered by Maor Appelbaum at Maor Appelbaum Mastering.

The official music video was filmed/edited by Henry Dhuy and Arno Nurmisto.

"Clinging to Your Skin signals Arno and I returning to our symphonic metal roots... at least for awhile. Our new EP is going to be a cinematic adventure all the way through! We will be playing a 'homecoming' show (I'm originally from Philadelphia) at The Fire on December 30th!" says VK Lynne.

This Los Angeles- based duo has racked up 12 LA Music Critics' Awards over the last 5 years, making them LAMC's most-awarded band in history. With their unique sound and striking visual presence, they have become a name to know in modern rock.

A band that loves to travel, they have toured the Midwest with black metal band White Empress, and the southwest with symphonic band, Insatia. In 2018, they played the LIFA Festival in CDMXand were astounded by the love they received from the Latin American audience.

Their trilogy of EP's ,Los Angeles: The Trap, The Abduction, and the Dichotomy feature a diverse collection of songs, ranging from ballads to bangers, and they show no signs of confining themselves to either.

A prolific pair, they released a slew of new songs during the pandemic, and they now are currently working on recording the mountain of material they've created and shooting video to accompany the new offerings. The band is signed to DI Records.

SET THE SUN Release Cathartic Music Video for "New Condition" (feat. Michael Lessard of The Contortionist)

American-Canadian Alt-Metal outfit SET THE SUN have released the second single from their soon-to-be-announced debut EP. The track, titled "New Condition" features guest vocals from Michael Lessard of The Contortionist, and explores familiar territory to the ideas expressed in the band's first single, "Invisible".

Speaking about Lessard's contributions to "New Condition", the band says: "We have always admired Michael's voice and unique style, and we felt that he would be a perfect complement to the song. He added the perfect emotion to the song, and we're thrilled to have him on it."

The creative duo at the heart of Set The Sun, known only as Arc & Eris, wrote and recorded the upcoming record during last year's COVID-19 lockdown, which would inspire them to delve into subjects ranging from isolation, division amongst communities, misinformation, and unspoken conflict. On "New Condition", the band seeks to confront the uncomfortable truths of how much pain and confusion can be inflicted through the constant distortion we often subject ourselves to through our own technology.

Expressing the onus behind "New Condition", Set The Sun comments, “All of us are surrounded by information and disinformation at all times. It can be overwhelming and maddening, and we wanted this video to embody what that feels like”

On "New Condition", Set The Sun once again welcomes Thomas Freckleton of Silent Planet into The Collective, with Freckleton playing bass on the track. The band is also grateful to have collaborated with Clint Lowery of Sevendust, who co-wrote "New Condition with Arc & Eris.

NITE Announces Two Upcoming Bay Area Shows

Blackened heavy metal outfit NITE have been added to two upcoming shows in the California Bay Area! Tomorrow, November 26, NITE will be supporting CRADLE OF FILTH and ONCE HUMAN at The Regency Ballroom in San Francisco. The band will then be supporting UNTO OTHERS and BLOOD STAR in Oakland on December 1. Ticket and event links are as follows:

11/26/21: San Francisco, CA @ The Regency Ballroom [TICKETS // EVENT LINK]
12/01/21: Oakland, CA @ Starline Social Club [TICKETS]

NITE has recently signed to Season of Mist! For a glimpse what's to come, check out NITE's Bandcamp and stream their 2020 debut album, 'Darkness Silence Mirror Flame,' HERE.

The San Francisco Bay Area has a history steeped in forward-thinking, technically dazzling metal, and NITE carries that torch with pride. Founded in 2018, their blackened heavy metal brand barrels towards the peril of an unknown future, while keeping one eye on the days when blistering leads once ruled the land. Guitarists Van Labrakis (Satan’s Wrath, Mencea) and Scott Hoffman (Dawnbringer, High Spirits) let loose galloping riffs and harmonies that evoke the classic sounds of the N.W.O.B.H.M., with Labrakis’ grizzled voice driving their dark, melodic metal into the modern era.
 
With Avinash Mittur (Wild Hunt) replacing founding bassist Bryan Coons in early 2021, he and drummer Patrick Crawford (Serpents of Dawn, Older Sun) make up a rhythm section that’s fierce yet breathlessly precise: a freewheel pounding reminiscent of the early days of heavy metal, with a Rickenbacker-powered roar fueling the low end. NITE’s debut full-length Darkness Silence Mirror Flame, released in March 2020 by Creator-Destructor Records, earned widespread praise. It showcased their fist-raising classic heavy metal that nearly every fan of the genre once fell in love with, but with a twisted and shadowy edge that the titans of old could never imagine. NITE is the flame of the past illuminating the darkness of tomorrow.

Genre: Blackened heavy metal

Van Labrakis: Guitar / Vocals

Check Out VIGILANTE Official Music Video for “Primera Linea”

France based, Chilean born heavy electronic artist VIGILANTE has released a graphic, physically explosive official music video for his new single and EP, Primera Linea. Directed by Nicolas Robini, the music video pays homage to the massive protests in Chile (2019 -2020) against president Sebastian Pinera and the terrible legacy of General Pinochet's constitution. The clip features the artist (former pro-wrestler) against French pro-wrestler Jérôme Jagorel from RIXEwrestling."

“'Primera Linea' is a song inspired by the courage of the Chilean people, fighting to change an unfair constitution, created during the brutal dictatorship of General Pinochet. Confronting a brutal repression from both the police and the government that left hundreds of people injured, blinded and dead, they never surrendered and always fought back. All this sacrifice was not in vain and they succeeded to win a referendum in 2021 to change the constitution that will be written directly by the people." - VIGILANTE

Ministry Releases Bold New Music Video For “Disinformation” To Celebrate The Release Of New Record Moral Hygiene Out Today Vi

Ministry Releases Bold New Music Video For

“Disinformation”

To Celebrate The Release Of

New Record Moral Hygiene

Out Today Via Nuclear Blast

15th Studio Album From Industrial Juggernauts

Is Overwhelmingly Praised And

Features Al Jourgensen’s Perspective On Societal Ills

The Industrial Strength Tour Coming Spring 2022

In celebration of the release of brand-new album Moral Hygiene – out TODAY via Nuclear Blast – Ministry releases the explosive new music video for the latest single,“Disinformation” about the slippery slope we find ourselves in when consuming mass media without critical thinking.

See it below.

Moral Hygiene is Ministry’s 15th studio album and features some of the project’s strongest and most inspired material to date. It features the creative masterwork of founder and creator Al Jourgensen who spent the pandemic pause in 2020 ruminating on the new world we as a society have found ourselves in – while pondering just what we are going to do about it.

Stream Moral Hygiene here: http://nblast.de/MinistryMoralHygiene

The 10 tracks are a follow-up to 2018’s lauded AmeriKKKant and put forth Jourgensen’s societal manifesto and plea for civilization to get back to a set of standards that lives up to and embraces our humanity.

Previous singles have included "Alert Level" (sounding the alarm on the state society is in), "Good Trouble" (a rallying cry to fight for human rights in homage to Civil Rights leader John Lewis) and "Search And Destroy" (the unique take on The Stooges classic), the latter of which features guitar virtuoso Billy Morrison (Billy Idol/Royal Machines). Morrison is also heavily featured on a number of songs on the album. The record also includes a collaboration with Jello Biafra (Jourgensen’s cohort in side project LARD) on “Sabotage Is Sex.”

Moral Hygiene was recorded with engineer Michael Rozon (also behind the boards on AmeriKKKant) at Scheisse Dog Studio, Jourgensen’s self-built home studio and creative lab. As with all Ministry albums, all songs are written and performed by Al Jourgensen. Additional contributions come from Billy Morrison (Billy Idol, Royal Machines), Cesar Soto (Man The Mute), John Bechdel (Killing Joke, Fear Factory), Roy Mayorga (Stone Sour, Soulfly, Nausea), Paul D’Amour (Tool, Feersum Ennjin),Arabian Prince (N.W.A.), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys) and sitar player Flash.

Here is what media has had to say about Moral Hygiene:

"'Moral Hygiene' delivers the expected goods with more conviction and clarity than on any MINISTRY record this century." — Blabbermouth

“Ministry’s new LP Moral Hygiene is one of their best … Moral Hygiene has quickly become one of my favorite records of 2021 … Ministry mastermind Al Jourgensen has come back to embrace some of the soundscapes found in the band’s earlier releases.” – Metal Insider

“Moral Hygiene is truly an album for its time. … It is fresh, relevant, and stacked with incisive socio-political commentary from one of extreme music’s veterans of discontented rage. … Exciting, angry, and unapologetic: exactly how we like our Ministry.” – Hysteria Magazine

“Having bands like Ministry around is still pretty critical when it feels like the social contract is hanging together by a thread. … What Jourgensen has been able to do … is make each Ministry album a statement about the world we live in now and what we should do to make it better. The music is as abrasive and confrontational as ever.” – Wall Of Sound

Moral Hygiene is available now in CD, vinyl and digital download formats at the following links:

Record label store: www.nuclearblast.com/ministry-moralhygiene

Band store: https://store.ministryband.com/collections/moral-hygiene

Next spring, Ministry will debut new songs from Moral Hygiene on the upcoming Industrial Strength Tour alongside celebrating the 30th anniversary of seminal album The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste.

ABOUT MINISTRY

Born in 1981 in Chicago, Ministry has been the lifetime passion project of founder Al Jourgensen, considered to be the pioneer of industrial music. In its early days, Ministry was identifiable by its heavy synth-pop material in line with the new sounds and technology that were being developed in the ‘80s. Ministry’s output began with four 12” singles on Wax Trax! Records in 1981 before the first LP With Sympathy in 1983 via Arista Records. As time progressed however, so did Ministry, quickly developing a harsher, and more stylized sound that the band soon became infamous for on seminal albums Twitch (1986), The Land of Rape and Honey (1988), and The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste (1989). With the release of Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and The Way to Suck Eggs (1992), Ministry hit an all-time high in the mainstream musical realm and received its first Grammy nomination. In total, Ministry has been nominated for a Grammy award six times. Eight more albums would follow before an indefinite break in 2013, only to be unearthed again in 2018 with AmeriKKKant, continuing to reflect Jourgensen’s views on the frightening state of society and politics. Today, Ministry continues touring and recording with the brand-new 15th studio album Moral Hygiene to be released October 1.

THE MAN FROM ALPHABET Invade the Scene with Deliciously Graphic Music Video / Cover of THE DICKIES "KILLER KLOWNS FRO

Picking up and re-imagining a piece of iconic punk rock or horror is always a bold move, but THE MAN FROM ALPHABET has served up a delicious scoop of both with their tight cover and hilariously nostalgic music video of legendary American punk rockers THE DICKIES' 1988 "Killer Klowns from Outer Space"! Originally premiered on BLOODY-DISGUSTING, the music video for "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" was directed and edited by Nina Hirten with production services provided by OH JUST PEACHY STUDIOS.

Featuring uproarious scenes of the band being stalked and murdered by the eponymous antagonists, in methods echoing the B-Horror masterpiece, the antics play out while gleefully watched by a bevy of pajama clad voyeurs. Overall, "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" recalls many an 80s and 90s teen slumber party with such seminal late night horror shows as USA's Up All Nightand MonsterVision, making it a unique Halloween treat for horror hounds and rock fans alike!

"Covering 'Killer Klowns from Outer Space' has been a bucket list item of mine for so many years as has the desire to write a song for Halloween season. I’m so thrilled with the end product we created together." - Dustin Treinen (Bass)

RISING INSANE Release New Single "Something Inside Of Me" - Announce EU Tour Dates w/ Deez Nuts

German metalcore band RISING INSANE have dropped their new single "Something Inside Of Me", along with an accompanying music video. The new track is the fourth single taken from their upcoming studio album 'Afterglow', which will see a December 10th, 2021 release via Long Branch Records.

Listen to "Something Inside Of Me" and pre-order the new album 'Afterglow' here:

https://smarturl.it/ri_afterglow

Rising Insane about the new single "Something Inside Of Me":

"'Something Inside Of Me' is an announcement to all people who trivialize mental illness and give sufferers the feeling of rejection. The song is meant to slap them in the face with the suffering that mental illness causes and to make them rethink."

Rising Insane will be supporting Deez Nuts on their European Tour in February/March 2022.

Rising Insane is not just the name but also what happened literally to these five guys from northern Germany over the last few years. After their self-released debut album, 'Nation' in 2017, the band gained attention quickly in the German metal scene on shows with Stray From The Path and For Today, as well as a support slot for Annisokay on their 2018 headline run.

In 2019 they played at the Impericon Festival and got signed by Long Branch Records. This led to the band's first label release, 'Porcelain' in November 2019, which received outstanding reviews from around the world and accelerated them into international attention. In the aftermath of the album release, the band kept busy and recorded a well-received cover version of "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd. This cover got the band even more worldwide attention and spread their name even wider. Due to the pandemic, their first headline run had to be cancelled in 2020 and the band decided to stay active, recording an EP named 'Recovered' with even more cover songs, including "Blinding Lights".

Now Rising Insane are back with new music and ready to elevate into an even higher stratosphere. They stay true to their post-hardcore and metalcore roots, but have clearly grown as a band and as individual musicians. The sound is more mature and the songs will not leave any questions as to whether these guys can stay true to their name and keep rising insane!

Aaron Steineker - Vocals

Sven Polizuk - Guitars

Florian Köchy - Guitars

Ulf Hedenkamp - Bass

Robert Kühling - Drums
