Alt Pop/Rock Artist JARED ANTHONY Releases New Single "Over My Head" via UnitedMasters + Official Music Video

Windsor's Alt Pop/Rock artist JARED ANTHONY released his new single "Over My Head" via UnitedMasters along with the official music video.

"Over My Head" features Evan Stanley (son of Paul Stanley) on lead guitar, Matt Noveskey (Blue October) on bass and Will Knaak (Blue October) is on rhythm guitar.

Jared Anthony is an edgy, melodic rapper/singer/songwriter/producer from Ontario, Canada. His musical style blends many influences of pop, rock, and alternative, with a heavy melodic hip hop vibe, but with an eclectic and creative new kind of sound that makes Jared Anthony stand out.

“This blending of genres and hybrid sound only seems to be increasing in popularity with music fans and Jared Anthony is at the forefront of this current hybrid nature in popular music,” says manager John Gomez.

Jared Anthony’s new single “Over My Head” features guest musicians from platinum-selling alternative rock band Blue October and Evan Stanley, son of KISS legend Paul Stanley. Additionally, Jared Anthony’s song "Mayday" was a featured track last year in the best-selling basketball series video game, NBA 2k. His music has garnered over 14 million streams on Spotify, nearly 200k monthly listeners, and his fan base continues to grow exponentially.

“Over My Head" marks the first official release via a new partnership with music industry executive Steve Stoute’s music platform, UnitedMasters. Stoute, who is the founder and CEO of UnitedMasters and Translation, recently closed a $50M Series C at a $550M valuation to further support and empower the artists they work with to find commercial success in the creator economy. UnitedMasters, meanwhile, has helped launch the careers of artists like platinum-selling rapper NLE Choppa, plus Lil Tecca, Tobe Nwigwe, Lil XXEL and others.

“I'm pumped about this partnership and new musical vibe that showcases a more alternative edgy sound than my previous releases,” says Jared Anthony.

“This track serves as the first taste of what’s to come and now that the pandemic is almost behind us, I can't wait to finally start playing live shows soon,” adds Jared Anthony.

“UnitedMasters has an amazing team of like-minded creatives who sincerely want to see their artists succeed in the music industry and grow into global acts,” said Gomez. “Jared's music is lit and he's setting the bar in a unique niche. His songs have clearly connected with fans, the production is super clean, and his melodies carry emotion that breaks the rap mold.”

Along with veteran artist manager John Gomez, Jared Anthony is co-managed by famed MTV VJ personality Matt Pinfield and represented by United Talent Agency. UTA is one of the world’s leading global talent, sports, and entertainment companies. New tour dates are slated to commence for Jared Anthony early 2022. Dates will be announced soon.

Darkwave trio VONAMOR presents 'Take Your Heart', announces debut LP (out in early 2022)

VONAMOR is music and movement. VONAMOR is real and virtual.
VONAMOR is the end and the beginning. VONAMOR is from love, of love, for love.

"A captivating dark track set to a motorik backbeat with an addictive necromantic mood... like a slow-drip of anxiety and shady mystic atmosphere that gradually builds in intensity, culminating in a fever-filled chilling chorus and a haunting wave of chanting" ~ Amplify Music Magazine

"Music that is somehow suspended between imagery and literature" ~ Music.It

"A dark delicious slice of darkwave excellence, starting from cold deadpan chill and gradually building with fired-up intensity in the same way as the best of Siouxsie and The Banshees" ~ Skylight Webzine

This is a quick-paced track, recalling the best dark pop of the '80s, with a tandem of male and female voices, confronting each other without reaching a mutual understanding, the addictive rhythm all the while inciting dance and movement.

On 'Take Your Heart', the incongruities of language are a humorous counterpart to an imperfect world, made up of discord, virtual realities, and fatal detachment from spontaneity and lightness. The first female voice is answered by the addressed male voice, although he ultimately answers from “the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns”.

A game of Dionysian invocations, of accusations and misunderstandings - all of it held together by a deep love that overcomes death. 'Take Your Heart' is an invocation to life, to love, to irony, to spontaneity in line with the poetry of VONAMOR’s music.

VONAMOR is made up of sisters Giulia Bottaro (voice, bass, metal flute) and Francesca Bottaro (drum station, sequencer, sax, clarinet) and vocalist Luca Guidobaldi, with Francesco Bassoli (guitars and loops) and Martino Cappelli (guitars, mandolin, bouzouki, oud, loops) joining the trio for live performances.

Theirs is a story of unexpected timbres, resonating at the very intersection between darkwave and electro music. The band's roots date back to 2016 Rome, when their focus was to communicate images, authoring various scores for short films. This morphed into the trio as we know it today with its contemporary taste and allure, literary echoes, imperious art-pop and enigmatic aesthetics.

“VONAMOR is an escape plan, our treasure island, a thick and savage jungle that gives you the chance to let your prayers and whispers reverberate like a church. We used the music in this album to walk paths that we hadn’t known before, to connect Rome to Paris to Berlin to Beijing, to mix techno music with folk, to let our voices and bodies mingle and dance to an incredibly weird yet familiar beat, and finally to search for a boom of love and light into the dark of our everyday’s life: yes, VONAMOR is a boom!" says Luca Guidobaldi.

In the past year, the band has released two singles, which are also featured on this album - 'Never Betray Us' and 'Fast-Forward Girl', accompanied by a clip directed by Diana Arbib and cinematography by Alessandro Rosa and featuring the dance performance 'Moto Perpetuo' by Anna Basti.

“Through our darkwave music and words, we search for the question, the ambiguity, the multiform influence of a variety of demons. We feel the urgency of questioning ourselves, our fellow human beings and the reality around us," says Giulia Bottaro.

Francesca Bottaro adds, "With VONAMOR, we turned such a feeling into a sound of female and male voices, wrapping bass-lines and electronic beats, woodwind instruments chasing and caressing you, till we make you dance and move and love with us.”

As of November 25, 'Take Your Heart' is available across online stores and streaming platforms, including Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer, Spotify and elsewhere. The full-length album will be released, both digitally and on CD, in February 2022. It can be pre-ordered directly from Time To Kill Records.

The Haxans Channel David Bowie In Official Music Video For Cover Of "Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)"

Goth-pop duo, THE HAXANS - Ash Costello (New Years Day) and Matt Montgomery (Rob Zombie) - have released an official music video for their spooktacular cover of the David Bowie classic "Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)" today. Shot during their residency at the legendary SoCal Halloween attraction, Knott's Scary Farm, the track sees a rare lead vocal from Matt on a song by THE HAXANS. Watch the video below.

Speaking on their new track and music video, guitarist and vocalist, Matt Montgomery shares

"We picked our covers for our Knott's this year from Halloween playlists we've created over the years. One song that has been a staple ever since I could make playlists, was this Bowie song. The original version has such a unique vibe, that it really took some years to figure out how to bring our own thing to it. It's surely a fun one for me to sing on a little more than I do most of our other tunes. It's certainly become a song that defines us and our audience and gets a party started!"

ABOUT THE HAXANS

A Goth-pop duo, decked out in creep kitsch high fashion, and named after a silent film from the twenties about a 15th-century German guide to hunting witches, THE HAXANS sound exactly like everything those images conjure. It’s the psycho-saccharine music of a fiendish creep’s fever dream… Classic art-house cinema, b-movie horror, spooky decadence, vintage American myth, and black roses dripping with blood are all tossed in THE HAXANS cauldron.

THE HAXANS are Ashley Costello, subcultural style icon and leader of Warped Tour screamo stars New Years Day, and Matt Montgomery, better known by his aliases Piggy D. and Count D., bassist for over a decade with multiplatinum shock rocker Rob Zombie, guitarist with horror punks Wednesday 13, and sometimes visual and musical collaborator with rock icon Alice Cooper.

THE HAXANS isn’t a side project. It’s the irrepressible, irresistible, and inevitable exorcism of the party centric Halloween costume shop kicking around inside the brains and bodies of the group’s two coconspirators.

Those who spell magic with a “k” and vampire with a “y,” who invoke ancient spirits in pursuit of a superstitiously serendipitous good time – all denizens of darkness will find sanctuary in the warm boudoir-­like atmosphere of THE HAXANS, both on record and on the stage.

Synthpop legacy act SPRAY releases 'Ambiguous Poems About Death' LP via Analogue Trash

"'Fantastically catchy and grooving witty club anthem... this music has sprung from two brilliant minds" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

"The perfect blend of wit and wisdom, back street philosophies and lyrical gems... bubbling synth-pop groover running on digital waves and smooth electronic ebbs and flows" ~ The Swindonian

"What could be the long-lost track from Trainspotting or Human Traffic, pulsates with a youthful energy, likened to the chemical generation of the late 90s" ~ The Manc Review

"Sense of humour along with a talent for sharp, polished electronic pop. While the competition is quite fierce, Spray may have delivered one of the year’s finest albums" ~ The Electricity Club

"This is leftfield indie disco synthpop – with a big stick!" ~ RGM Magazine

"Smart, quirky and downright memorable" ~ The Spill Magazine

British synth-based dance-pop electro duo Spray present their new album 'Ambiguous Poems About Death', released via Manchester's Analogue Trash label on November 26, having previewed three tracks from this clever and catchy 12-track collection - 'Hammered In An Airport', 'Félicette (Space Cat)'and 'Blurred In The Background'.

Spray is music-addict siblings Jenny McLaren (vocals, guitars) and Ricardo Autobahn (synths), who have managed to build an enviable following of devotees to Spray's brand of danceable and subversive indie disco pop since their 2002 debut ‘Living In Neon’ LP. They are also responsible for a smash cover of Lisa Lougheed’s 'Run With Us' (also 'The Raccoons' theme song). Their unique brand of oblique synth-pop is catchy as hell, both lyrically and musically, bringing them mainstream pop success in an alternate universe.

Spray's musical DNA traces back to 90s band The Cuban Boys, who recorded one of the best Peel Sessions ever and went head-to-head with Sir Cliff Richard in a Christmas Chart Battle. Their hit single 'Cognoscenti Vs Intelligentsia' (a.k.a. The Hamster Dance Song) sold a million copies, reached number 4 in the UK single charts, landed them on Top of the Pops and, in the words of John Peel, was “the most requested song I’ve had since God Save The Queen”. They topped the John Peel Festive 50 Charts twice.

Spray was the secret weapon behind the UK’s 2006 Eurovision hit 'Teenage Life', written and produced with Daz Sampson, with their treated vocals used on the track. Ricardo Autobahn and Sampson's dance version of 'Rhinestone Cowboy' (as Rikki and Daz) with the legendary Glen Campbell went Top-10. More recently Spray recorded music with anarchic BBC star Hacker T. Dog and Ricardo also plays keyboards with Welsh punk pop icons Helen Love.

Spray's new long-player is their second release with Analogue Trash, following 2019's 'Failure Is Inevitable'. Jenny and Ricardo have used the intervening time wisely; writing, terrorising social media, working with puppets, and a number of live shows, including August’s first post lockdown live affair in Liverpool.

“In early 2020, we bought a Behringer TD-3, one of the company's excellent Roland TB-303 knockoffs. We had an idea of putting out a quick acid house-style album in the summer, something short, spiky and electropunk. This did not come to fruition as, like many, Spray found themselves locked down in separate locations, in their case on either side of Lancashire," says Ricardo Autobahn.

"This album evolved into something a lot more elaborate as the pandemic went on. We tried not to write songs *about* the global situation because we figured everybody would be doing that, but the outside world couldn't help seeping in."

Undeterred by distance, recording and production duties were split between Spray Studio 1 (decaying, seen better days) and Spray Studio 2 (shiny, newly refurbished, sweet smelling) and the album took shape with the TD-3 employed in all the songs, somewhere.

Packed full of acerbic wit with tongue firmly in cheek when needed for maximum effect, 'Ambiguous Poems About Death' will delight fans new and old from the first listen. The long-player will be released on November 26 digitally and on CD, the latter format featuring separate blue cover artwork). It can be ordered, everywhere online including Bandcamp, at http://snd.click/poems.

Opera Diabolicus stream entire new album

Swedish horror outfit OPERA DIABOLICUS are now streaming their entire upcoming full length 'Death on a Pale Horse' which is released upon the masses today November 26. Check out the stream via the official Season of Mist YouTube channel below.

OPERA DIABOLICUS comment: "Lo and behold, our awaited sophomore album is finally ready to be unveiled. Please sit down and enjoy the next 59 minutes and 13 seconds as we raise the curtain for the full streaming of the new album"

Listen everybody, bring out OPERA DIABOLICUS! The Swedish combo have created the perfect horror musical with a little help from their friends Mats Levén (Candlemass, Therion, Skyblood), Snowy Shaw (King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Therion, Notre Dame), Andy La Rocque (King Diamond) and Michael Denner (King Diamond, Mercyful Fate)! With ‘Death on a Pale Horse’, the Swedes bring you an epic tale of witchcraft, the black death and revenge!

Established by the two antagonists David Grimore and Adrian de Crow in Gothenburg in the mid-2000s, Swedish horror entity OPERA DIABOLICUSseeks to scourge the earth with their music, mischief, and schemes!

Through burning hatred and mutual dislike to one another and with one prior album released under their belt (entitled †1614, released 2012), they’ve now conjured their sophomore offspring with music that could be described as epic horror metal, and thus would greatly appeal to fans of acts like KING DIAMOND, CANDLEMASS, MERCYFUL FATE and so forth.

With a little help from their friends, whom brilliantly have assisted with their tools of their trade, plus the eminent Jens Bogren’s (OPETH, SEPULTURA, ROTTING CHRIST, DIMMU BORGIR) mixing and mastering skill, the result speaks for itself.

THE METAL TWINS DIANTHUS ARE BACK WITH THE NEW SINGLE “A SPACE IN THE SILENCE”.

THE METAL TWINS DIANTHUS ARE BACK WITH THE NEW SINGLE “A SPACE IN THE SILENCE”. THEIR LONG AWAITED SOPHMORE RELEASE “REALMS” WILL BE OUT ON JANUARY 28th THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT.

The twin metal duo Dianthus have just finished recording their brand new album “Realms” with producer Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Symphony X, Butcher Babies, etc.). They had previewed the tracks “Realms” and “Creeping In” during the height of the pandemic in 2020 and now have finally been able to get in the studio and finish up their much anticipated sophomore release.

In preparation of the “Realms” album release in January they hope to hold fans over with the release of the brand new song and video for “A Space In The Silence”, and as Jackie and Jessica Parry explain, "A Space in the Silence" is one of the heavier tracks on the new Dianthus record. It identifies an inner-angst and aggression. Finding a place to be alone with one's own thoughts is commanded in the breakthrough choruses, "Go find your place, a space in the silence." In order to gain mental clarity, isolating in a quiet room away from external voices can be an important action. The chorus also sings, "Don't leave a trace, break away from the violence." If a situation goes from bad to worse and conflict begins to arise, sometimes it is best to retreat and refocus. The drums begin the song with a meaty groove that thickens as the intensity builds, while the guitars tap into an ominous and subliminal void. The official music video for this track is the pinnacle of what Dianthus strives to enliven with their music. An intrigue with Victorian era fashion and metal music fosters a deceivingly heavy sound from the two petite twin sisters. The video takes viewers into a dark chapter within the conceptual world of "Realms", the forthcoming album from Dianthus. With a focus mainly on performance, the cinematic footage captures Jessica and Jackie Parry releasing raw emotion on their instruments. Quick flashes of the twins walking down a dimly lit hallway are sure to send a chill down one's spine, reminiscent of the iconic moments from Stanley Kubrick's, "The Shining". This music video is nothing short of an unforeseen thrill. A must-see. A must-hear."

When the first single “Realms” was released it quickly gained the attention of press and fans alike.

“Dianthus just released their new single "Realms" and it's probably going to get stuck in your head. The duo employ soaring guitar melodies, perfectly grounded drums, and excellent vocal hooks through the track for an overall killer experience.”
Metal Injection

Deko Entertainment is also excited to reveal that there is a “Realms” comic book in development which will accompany the soon to be announced vinyl edition. Deko Entertainment president Bruce Pucciarello explains, “The frustration of trying to get this album done during a pandemic with the bar set so high is probably part of the reason this is so damn good. All the songs on it are transitional and reflective for Jackie and Jessica, and their rapidly growing fan base relates to how very genuine they are. This record by extension, is just as genuine. I bet you love this one…”

CYNIC Premieres Official Music Video for "Diamond Light Body," New Album Out Now !

Progressive rock legend CYNIC's long-awaited new album, 'Ascension Codes,' is out TODAY! To celebrate the release, CYNIC is now sharing the official music video for the song "Diamond Light Body," featuring artwork by visionary artists, Martina Hoffmann and Robert Venosa. Design and animations by Randy Gaul and Jonatan Martinez (the latter worked with Masvidal on the Mythical Human Vessel trilogy). The video can be seen below.

In addition, CYNIC will be hosting an album release party in Masvidal's hometown of Miami, FL on Saturday, November 27 @ Gramps from 8:00P.M. - 11:00 P.M. The event is free and entry is on a first come, first serve basis. Members of CYNIC as well as producer/engineer Warren Riker will be present for a meet and greet.

Cynic's Ascension Codes is a remarkably far-reaching work, and if nothing else, a clear indication that they have landed in a place of mastery. The album, paradoxically, acts as both swan song and rebirth.

'Ascension Codes' can be ordered at the Season of Mist E-Shop, the CYNIC Bandcamp, and official CYNIC shop. The album can be streamed/downloaded HERE.

ICYMI: Masvidal recently shared a touching tribute to late bassist Sean Malone, who died on December 7, 2020. To commemorate Malone's legacy, CYNIC has released a never-before-heard recorded performance of the song "Integral," in which Malone performs fretless bass. "Integral" was originally released as a solo guitar and vocal track on Cynic's 'Re-Traced' EP. The emotional tribute can be found at THIS LOCATION.

As an act of support, CYNIC is inviting fans to donate as you wish for the "Integral" song download, which comes with a guitar/bass transcription of the song and an instrumental (no bass mix) to play along with. 50 percent of proceeds will be shared with suicide prevention organizations: To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA) and The Trevor Project. The remaining will go towards funding a documentary about the lives and artistry of Sean Malone and Sean Reinert.

WORMWOOD Release Deluxe Edition of New Album 'Arkivet' - Featuring Covers of Nick Cave & Loreena McKennitt

WORMWOOD have released three new bonus tracks on the Deluxe Edition of their newest studio album, 'Arkivet'. The deluxe version includes covers of Nick Cave's "The Weeping Song" and Loreena McKennitt's "Caravanserai", and is available for streaming now!

Commenting on the bonus tracks for 'Arkivet', the band says:

"The reason we picked 'Shipwrecked & Northbound' is because most of our listeners haven't heard our first EP 'The Void: Stories From the Whispering Well'. It was a time of experimentation and getting to know each other's styles. We picked this song specifically because it had fragments of that sound that we wanted to pursue. That sound led to the creation of Ghostlands. Now - years later we decided to re-make it with the knowledge, possibilities, and skills we lacked back then. It's a homage to the old and new.

Speaking on the two covers from the deluxe version, they add:

"The two covers on this deluxe edition were picked because they meant something deeply for some members of the band. Most people know Nick Cave and his mastery of words and music, but fewer know about the enchanting Loreena McKennitt. With our style and vision, we created these two covers with respect to their virtuosity but with our own twist!"

Supreme Unbeing release new high-octane single “Hide The Beast” featuring ELEINE vocalist Madeleine Liljestam

Supreme Unbeing release new high-octane single “Hide The Beast” featuring ELEINE vocalist Madeleine Liljestam, and Edge of Tomorrow actor Dragomir Mrsic as “The Beast” in the music video

SUPREME UNBEING is a mysterious 5-piece metal band led by vocalist/prophet Zac Red, with his fellow prophets D.Vine (Lead Guitar), D.Sciple (Rhythm Guitar), Unknown (Bass) and Al Mytee (Drums). Although the band just recently transformed from animated characters into real flesh and blood entities, their impact has been felt in the physical domain since the release (October 2020) of their debut full-length album Enter Reality which garnered an 8/10 rating in Metal Hammer (Greece) and a 3rd place in “Album of the Year 2020” according to the readers of Sweden Rock Magazine, amongst other noteworthy accomplishments such as landing Spotify Editorial Playlist placements on Thrashers and New Metal Tracks, and combining a staggering +5.5 million digital and video streams in less than 12 months since the debut.

Letting nature take its course, Supreme Unbeing, on November 26th 2021, released their new haunting and high-octane single – Hide The Beast – from their upcoming, second, full-length album Enduring Physicality (to be released 5.5.22). Hide The Beast will get your blood pumping as it offers dual perspectives of the brutality, and anxiety, of our raw nature – the one of the beast, and the one of the victim – but which is really which? Being the first Supreme Unbeing song with a feature, Hide The Beast features a guest appearance from ELEINE vocalist Madeleine Liljestam.

“We all have a beast inside of us which we are trying, oh, so hard to tame, but in the end we cannot – as the song goes – hide the beast. We can only find inner peace, and build a solid relationship with ourselves, when we understand, and trust, our inner beast in the same way that we understand, and trust, the person that others believe that they see when they see you.” Says Zac Red

Continuing the success of the previous, daunting and ominous-sounding, single Face Of Evil, which already amassed +600.000 views on Youtube in less than one month, Supreme Unbeing, with Hide The Beast will force you, yet again, to take a deep look inside of yourself after studying the lyrics to the song. With Swedish actor Dragomir Mrsic (known from “Snabba Cash”, and “Edge Of Tomorrow” where he co-starred along Tom Cruise) also continuing his portrayal of yet another character, in the music video for Hide The Beast, only the fearless will dare to follow where this “mini-series” will lead.

“I’ve played many parts, and characters, both in life and on TV. I’ve “killed” the most people throughout Swedish TV-history, allowing me to use my inner beast to portray all those parts. This time, I’m not sure who’s actually the real beast.” Says Dragomir Mrsic

Mixed and mastered by Sebastian “Seeb” Levermann, singer/guitarist of German metal outfit Orden Ogan, the track is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, Deezer and all major streaming services.

“You cannot hide or run away from nature.” concludes Zac Red of Supreme Unbeing.

JOETOWN feat. Special Guests Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr. Big), Jimi Bell (Autograph, Geezer Butler, House of Lords) and Mike Duda

JOETOWN released his new single titled "Freightrain" on all streamable & downloadable platforms via Mindsnap Music / Von Artist Inc. and distributed by The Orchard / Sony. The single features special guests Matt Starr (Ace Frehley and Mr. Big) on drums, Jimi Bell (Autograph, Geezer Butler and House of Lords) on lead guitar and Mike Duda (WASP, Hookers and Blow)on bass. The song was produced & mixed by Joe Delaney and mastered by Steve Turnridge. In addition, he also released the official music video for the single that was shot and edited by Joe Delaney.

Mindsnap Music has recently put out the likes of Bomber Alley, Dead By Wednesday, OPUS(solo acoustic), Howland Hyatt (feat. Stet of Metal Church), Joey Concepcion and more!

With Joetown generally pissed-off about the state of affairs in America, “Freightrain” is an angry, boisterous rant that takes aim at those who pull the strings of power and influence. 2020 was, in his own words, a "fucked-up year" and with everything shut down, "Freightrain" was the first Joetownrecording to be done remotely.

”As a guy who has always just assembled a bunch of great players in a big live room and hit record, this process was entirely different, but it worked out thanks to the players involved. Since I’ve done records with all of these cats before, it still felt natural and exciting. These guys are all old friends that happen to be world-renowned players,” says Mr. Town.

Matt Starr, drummer for Ace Frehley, Mr. Big and others, recorded often at the original Joetown Studios in the mid-late 90’s and is the drummer on the classic track “Curbside Sleeper” that appears on Joetown’s album Rock’n’Roll Man.

Matt says, “I learned long ago to always expect the unexpected when playing with Joe. 'Freightrain' was no exception. The twists and turns are fucking awesome and it’s a great song that I’m grateful to be a part of.”

Jimi Bell is the ultimate shredder and currently the guitarist in Autograph, but he also has a history with Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath, House of Lords and others. Jimi was actually Joe’s guitar teacher as a teenager. Previously, Jimi and Joe made a popular version of "Paradise City" by Guns N Roses that is on multiple G’n’R compilations.

“I’m truly honored that Joe asked me to play a solo on this track. We’ve been friends since the 80's and I have always had the utmost respect for him as a guitarist, singer, song writer, engineer and producer. We’ve worked together before on a couple of records and it’s always been an incredible experience," says Jimi.

Mike Duda is best known as the bassist from WASP since the early 90’s, along with being in Dizzy Reed’s Hookers and Blow. He has been close friends with Joe since high school and also appears on the album Rock’n’Roll Man.

"Joe is one of my oldest and dearest friends! I have the utmost respect for him as a musician, songwriter, producer, engineer and as a person! Every time he asks me to do a session I don’t walk, I run! 'Freightrain' is just another example of Joe's awesome catalogue of work. Some of the most enjoyable moments of my career are working with Joe because I understand where he’s coming from and he understands where I’m coming from. Every time is an amazing creative journey," adds Duda.

Joe’s other recent releases have been singing on Bomber Alley’s new single “We Get By” as well as vocals, lyrics and lead guitar on the album “Phoenix Rising” by the popular doom metal band Curse the Son.

DEATH ANGEL'S NEW RECORD "THE BASTARD TRACKS" IS OUT TODAY!

Bay Area thrash legends DEATH ANGEL have released their heavily anticipated new live record titled "The Bastard Tracks" today with Nuclear Blast. Recorded live at The Great American Music Hall in their hometown of San Francisco on May 22nd, 2021, and streamed live soon after, "The Bastard Tracks" is a deep cuts collection of rarely and never performed songs from the band's celebrated catalog that's available now digitally and on CD and Blu-Ray and will be released on vinyl on April 29th.

In conjunction with the release the band has rolled out the live video for "The Absence of Light," which can be viewed below.

Commenting on the song, vocalist Mark Osegueda states:

“'Absence of Light' is a song that I have been championing for since the album that it is on called 'Relentless Retribution' was released in 2010. It’s an extremely dark song lyrically that sits on top of this thunderous and driving riff and beat. It is not a fast song by any means. But! It’s HEAVY!! DARK and HEAVY!!!

We finally took the time to re-familiarize ourselves with it and we were all surprised how HEAVY it sounded when we all played it together in the room! I’m pretty confident it will rear its DARK and HEAVY head in some future live sets. In front of an actual audience!”

Purchase "The Bastard Tracks" here: https://bfan.link/DeathAngelTBT

Commenting on the record, Osegueda says:

"When we performed and filmed the songs for 'The Bastard Tracks' it was such a crazy time and having missed being able to perform live for so long was taking it’s toll on me to a certain degree as I have been a live performer for the majority of my life..

I must say...It was a pretty dark time. I know it was for so many of us...But! Music once again helped to pull us through it...It was a bit odd performing to no crowd...But! It felt great re-learning some deep tracks and getting on stage with the guys and unleashing this pent up aggression! And the response from everyone who tuned into it suggesting that we release it as an album was overwhelming! Well…Thanks to them here it is! I hope you enjoy it!”

Adding to that, guitarist Rob Cavestany says:

"Choosing and sequencing the songs for 'The Bastard Tracks' set list was quite a different trip. All of them had rarely (and in some instances never) been played live. We hadn’t performed in front of a live audience for over a year, the longest ever for this band. It was to be filmed live at The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco and then broadcast worldwide on the good ol’ inter-web! I could get into that…

From basically re-learning most of these songs to getting them as tight as they should be, we put our energy together and made it happen! I’m thankful for having had this goal to focus on during those (still) crazy earth crisis days. It gave us an important reason to get together at DA Studio and JAM! Literally the only time I’ve felt “normal” since 2020 was while we were jamming! Fortunately we’ve been able to do it a lot. Now, we proudly present the audio and visual recordings of those sessions. Turn it up!

P.S. - We cannot wait to exchange live energy with you as soon as possible!!"

Swedish Rockers DICTATOR SHIP Release New Single "Sorry State"

Sweden's Dictator Ship are back with their explosive new single "Sorry State". A dynamic and raw rock 'n' rock track with rhythmical variations, vocal harmonies, and melodies that stick. The new track is tied together by the same retro-inspired, live-recorded sound that could be heard on the band's 2020 debut album'Your Favorites'. The band comments on their new single:

”'Sorry State' is a song about the blues, infidelity, and abuse. About losing what you believe is the only thing in your life that makes you as a person worth a damn."

”Sorry State” is out now on all streaming platforms via The Sign Records.

Stream "Sorry State" here: https://orcd.co/sorrystate

About DICTATOR SHIP:

Dictator Ship is a direct and immediate outburst in raw and primitive Rock’N’Roll, accompanied by the supreme vocal set up from the soul bands of the ‘60s. The sound has a short and direct approach that seems almost impossible to contain, like a wild animal in a cage – as if The Saints met up with The Four Tops. It is a constant fistfight between the greatness of the ‘70s and the ’60s. Dictator Ship is the prime and natural energy source that the world has been searching for. Hook up the power net and let the world enjoy! So begins the story of the band now known as Dictator Ship...

The foundation of the band is the harmonies in the vocals and the feedback from the amps, backed by the most intense drumming – almost impossible to comprehend – and the aggressive hammering on the bass. Dictator Ship released their debut album ”Your Favorites” in April 2020 on The Sign Records. The album was praised by both fans and the media. UK’s Classic Rock Magazine described it as ”An astounding live-in-studio debut from a raw twin-guitar-fronted quartet of Swedes, all of whom double on vocals, channeling the MC5’s explosive, action-rock remodel of 60s soul”.

Line-up:

Petter Heinemann - Vocals and Guitar

John Sijbren Leonard - Vocals and Guitar

Viktor Henriksson - Vocals and Drums

David Ericsson - Vocals and Bass

MANDOKI SOULMATES CELEBRATE MUSIC + MEMBERS RECEIVE GRAMMY NOMINATIONS THIS THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving 2021 was certainly a time of celebration for Mandoki Soulmates. Case in point, two of the band members received Grammy nominations - Cory Henry for Album Of The Year and Best Progressive R&B Album and Randy Brecker for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album.

In addition to the band recently releasing a video for the song “The Torch” (off their critically acclaimed album, ‘Utopia For Realists: Hungarian Pictures,’ which can be viewed/heard here: https://mandokisoulmates.lnk.to/TheTorch-2021Version), Mandoki Soulmates leader Leslie Mandoki celebrated Thanksgiving this year in New York.

Leslie: “For the traditional Soulmates-Thanksgiving, this time my dear Soulmate, Al di Meola, one of the founding members of the MANDOKI SOULMATES about 30 years ago, invited us to his home in New York, and as always, we played each other’s latest music together. Beside one of the best turkey dinners, we’re celebrating the love of life, music, and three decades of friendship, mutual music and values with Soulmates. Thanksgiving is the right occasion to give thanks for the privileged life of a musician that we can live thanks to the audience that inspires our creativity. It was truly another Soulmates ‘family reunion’ again.”

“We first celebrated with our soulmates at Al's house about 30 years ago, and had another wonderful Soulmates gathering here 15 years ago with my three children. Bringing wonderful changes, Stephanie then gave the house a whole new soul, and it was so beautifully decorated for Thanksgiving. The love, music, and more than 30 years of friendship were in the air and could literally be felt!”

“Yesterday was also time to congratulate our soulmates Cory and Randy on their very well-deserved recent Grammy nominations. When we celebrate family gatherings together with our children today or even at the end of the year, we should realize that they are the future. I am a father of three children, and we should ask ourselves in what condition we hand over our world to the children, the Young Rebels? We can only overcome the divisions in our society together with the Old Rebels and the Young Rebels. So let's wish them strength, courage and the hunger to strive for the right solutions, and let's help them while there's still time to turn the wind and pass the torch.”

DESSIDERIUM Release Title Track For New Album 'Aria' - Out December 10th on The Artisan Era!

DESSIDERIUM Release Title Track For New Album

'Aria' Coming December 10th via The Artisan Era

Pre-Order HERE

Melodic Death-Prog trailblazer DESSIDERIUM has released the second single from their upcoming studio album! Clocking in at over 14 minutes, the constantly shape-shifting new song is the title track of their The Artisan Era debut, 'Aria'! Fans can check out "Aria" via the visualizer found below.

The brainchild of Southern California native Alex Haddad, Dessiderium started out as a passion project for the multi-faceted artist, with the band's first two albums ('Life Was A Blur' & 'Rain Gates') being recorded and produced in his bedroom. However, the band's third LP, 'Shadow Burn', would establish it as a legitimate force within the underground metal scene - highlighting elements of melodic arrangements, hyper-aggressive death instrumentals, and emotionally vulnerable lyrical themes.

Aria will see a December 10th, 2021 release via The Artisan Era.

Pre-Order 'Aria' HERE

Musically, 'Aria' marks a return to the long-form style of songwriting from Dessiderium. Songs weave in and out of acrobatic riffing, calming transitions, and dense walls of sound, all while forming a cohesive narrative. The story is told episodically, following the song-to-song evolution of a nameless protagonist who forms an ever-growing obsession with a reoccurring lucid dream figure named Aria. It is through this concept that the album explores broader themes of love, lust, infatuation, isolation, nostalgia, and death. Ultimately, through its music and words, Aria pays recognition to both the esoteric beauty and inevitable damage of living life through escapism.

About DESSIDERIUM:

Dessiderium is the musical diary of Alex Haddad, founded in Southern California, and remaining active in the Sonoran Desert. The first two albums, Life Was A Blur and Rain Gates, were quietly released bedroom recordings that demonstrated early promise in the progressive metal project’s distinctive take on metal. On its third release, Shadow Burn, Dessiderium established itself as an authentic presence in the underground metal scene, offering its blend of hyper-melodic, complex music, paired with a haunting sense of vulnerability through lyrical themes. With an ever-expanding body of work and plans for a live-performing lineup, the year 2021 marks the true beginning for Dessiderium.
