KLAUS SCHULZE To Release New Album 'Deus Arrakis' on June 10th, 2022

Composer, musician, and producer Klaus Schulze rolls out his extensive sounds, plays his legendary sequences, and creates this unique ‘Schulze atmosphere‘ for more than 50 years now. With 'Deus Arrakis' the electronic legend now presents his new studio album. The album will be released on June 10th, 2022 via SPV Recordings and contains three brand new tracks with more than 77 minutes of total playing time.

With "Osiris - Pt#1" a first excerpt of the new album will be released on Friday via all digital platforms.

'Deus Arrakis' will be available as a high-quality triple LP edition in a 3LP gatefold with black 180g vinyl, etching and printed inner sleeves as well as CD version in a digipak.

All editions are available for pre-order here:

https://klausschulze.lnk.to/deusarrakis

Through his collaboration with Hans Zimmer for the Oscar-winning soundtrack to the remake of the classic film 'Dune', desert fever has broken out again in Klaus Schulze. "I needed more of that 'Spice,'" Schulze recounts. "From there I felt completely unleashed and just played and played… at the end of that second private ‘Dune‘ journey I realized: ‘Deus Arrakis‘ became another salute to Frank Herbert and to that great gift of life in general.“ Since his beginnings in bands like 'Tangerine Dream' and 'Ash Ra Tempel' or in his over 50 solo albums from 'Irrlicht' to Mirage', 'X' and 'Dune' to 'Farscape', 'Kontinuum', 'Silhouettes' and now 'Deus Arrakis', in his productions under the pseudonym 'Richard Wahnfried' or the numerous film scores and collaborations with artists like Arthur Brown, Michael Shrieve, Rainer Bloss, Lisa Gerrard or most recently Hans Zimmer: Klaus Schulze has always remained true to his unmistakable way of creating music and yet always remained open to the new, the innovative, the experimental.

In Her Own Words Release New Single + Music Video "Circles" And Announce Upcoming Album 'Distance or Decay' Out on thriller records

Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, pop-punk outfit In Her Own Words has today released their new single and incredibly fun accompanying music video "Circles" featuring Derek Discanio of State Champs. Not only that, but IHOWfans can also look forward to the band's forthcoming album 'Distance or Decay' out on Friday, May 27 (via Thriller Records). Speaking on today's news, IHOW vocalist Joey Fleming shared:

“'Circles' is a song about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. It’s about my lack of ability to accept what I can’t change, and going through the same motions over and over again.”

Pre-order 'Distance or Decay' here, stream "Circles" here, and watch the music video below.

In Her Own Words are ready to climb every mountain they have to, as they ascend every music scene that they have clawed to be a part of. The band has written their most magnetic music to date, which is anchored by their latest single “Circles”. This time out, IHOW has swung for the fences, and connected with a smash that is surely going to connect with all of their extremely loyal fans and strangers alike. The dynamic lyrics and vocals provided by Derek Discanio (State Champs) are exactly what the track needed to push it over the edge. There is something that is always familiar about Joey Fleming’s soulful vocal style, like your favorite hoodie, it just warms you up. When you mix the cold winters of upstate New York, with the palm trees and haze of Los Angeles, you get a powerful blend of dream versus reality. That is exactly what IHOW is- aggressive instrumentation and pop shimmer at the same time. Salty and sweet, with the energy of firing pistons ready to take on the world.

Call Me Karizma Drops "Young, In Love & Depressed AF" Single + Music Video

Genre-blending hip hop-and-rock artist Call Me Karizma has released his latest track "Young, In Love & Depressed AF" (out via Thriller Records). Speaking on today's release, Karizma shares:

"Years ago I wrote this song with my good friend and producer, Skimmy. The line just came to me right when I started listening to the music, and I thought to myself “this is like the real-life version of that Khalid song.” This was only a short time after his record that went “Young, dumb, broke, high school kids” blew up, but I felt that I couldn’t really relate. Though I was pretty broke, I was an early-twenties guy, trying to manage love, sadness, and life in general.

This is the anthem for all people, no matter their age or circumstance. Everyone at some point has felt in love and depressed as f*ck. Years later, especially with the mess the world is in, I feel that it’s time for the world to hear this song."

Prior to today's release, Call Me Karizma released fan-favorite track "Dead Body" and previously "DELINQUENTS" which together has garnered over 1 million streams and counting across platforms. Stream "Young, In Love & Depressed AF"here, and watch the music video below.

Call Me Karizma is the voice of the unheard and outcasts. Having signed to Thriller Records (a new label founded by Bob Becker, the mastermind and founder of world-renowned alternative rock label Fearless Records) and blending influences of rock, hip-hop, pop, and punk, Karizma does not shy away from storytelling, covering topics on mental health, politics, and relationships. In late 2020 he released his first album 'To Hell With Hollywood' as an independent artist. Without a manager or record label, he charted on Billboard’s Top 200 Album Charts. Karizma recently wrapped up touring in support of his latest EP, 'Bleached Serpent'.

Carpenter Brut Releases New Album Leather Terror Today Via Universal, With Lead Tracks “Imaginary Fire” Featuring Greg Puciato , Tour Coming To U.S. This Summer

Carpenter Brut

Releases New Album Leather Terror Today

Via Universal

With Lead Tracks “Imaginary Fire”

Featuring Greg Puciato (Formerly Dillinger Escape Plan)

And “The Widow Maker”

Featuring Alex Westaway (Gunship) &

Music Video Starring Actor Dylan Sprouse

Order The Album Now HERE

North America Tour Planned For Summer 2022

French synthwave icon Carpenter Brut has just released his brand new album Leather Terror today via Universal Records. Leather Terror is the second in Carpenter Brut’s Leather album trilogy, the next chapter following his widely acclaimed 2018 album Leather Teeth. That album featured in numerous Best Album lists across the board of rock, alternative and electronic music that year. Kerrang championed the mysterious French artist as one of the Best Live Bands On Earth whilst Carpenter Brut was also honoured as a performer at the Metal Hammer awards.

While Leather Teeth was in part a celebratory take on ‘80s glam rock, in his new opus, Carpenter Brut – across the space of twelve tracks – gets more malevolent, documenting the rise of his protagonist as a serial killer who wants to take revenge on all those who mistreated him when he was younger.

Leather Terror reflects both a serial killer, and an artist, in their prime: Bold and daring while full of shock and awe, creating a true spectacle out of great darkness with a flamboyant disregard for rules.

The albums form the soundtrack of an imagined movie from 1987. The previous record introduced the story of Bret Halford, an introverted science student. He liked a girl who didn’t like him and much preferred the team’s star quarterback. Bret got mad and tried to create a concoction that would allow him to control them all, but ends up disfigured and decides instead to become a rock star. This is how he will seduce the girl, and all other girls: By becoming Leather Teeth, singer of Leather Patrol.

Regarding the album, Carpenter Brut has said, "After spending much of 2018 touring, I had decided to take a long break to compose the new album of the trilogy. The pandemic confirmed that my choice to stay home was the right one. I ended up taking over a year and a half to compose this album. I made a lot of decisions with the time I had that I wouldn't have had time to make if the pandemic hadn't happened. I wanted to make the whole thing as massive as possible. There is no guitar on this album. I did everything with synths. Even though I didn't know exactly how I wanted the album to sound at first, I knew I wanted it to be massive and violent.”

Leather Terror is flanked by two lead singles, the colossal synthrock anthem “Imaginary Fire” featuring vocalist Greg Puciato (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Killer Be Killed, The Black Queen) as well as “The Widow Maker,” featuring Alex Westaway of Gunship on the pummelling synth pop track.

See the video for “Imaginary Fire” directed by Dehn Sora below.

Here’s what the media has been saying about Leather Terror:

“Leather Terror is an album of pure, devilish joy from an artist who completely understands what they're doing … Metal and synthwave gloriously clash throughout, and it's brilliant.” —Kerrang

“If the majority of Leather Terror doesn’t just make you want to get up and dance to all of its sublimely banging, schlocky glory then there’s a very good chance that Carpenter Brut’s fictional killer got to you in one of his earlier installments.” —Metal Hammer

“Carpenter Brut is back to get you dancing! Leather Terror is all the driving, quasi-industrial, synth stuff you've come to expect and love. This time you're getting a diverse roster of guest spots from Greg Puciato (Dillinger Escape Plan), Ulver, Sylvaine, and more.” —Metal Injection

“Despite the lack of guitars, Leather Terror is often just as vicious as anything from the world of metal as drums pound relentlessly, vocals range from the ethereal to the demonic, and looming keyboards slice and dice with ruthless efficiency through the album’s more aggressive cuts. In movie trilogies, the second entry can often prove to be the weakest but this isn’t the case here as the sequel expands and even improves on the superb original. Roll on the final part.” —Ghost Cult

Carpenter Brut will also be returning to North America this summer with a series of 13 tour dates announced for the U.S. and Canada, kicking off August 18 in Los Angeles and running through September 3 in Silver Spring, Maryland.

About Carpenter Brut

Carpenter Brut draws its influences from ‘80s TV shows and B-movies loaded with synthesizers. The mysterious and discreet man evokes an encounter between Justice beats and the universe of John Carpenter. The French act pays tribute to the post-hippie/pre-AIDS culture that then set the basis of electro and metal to give us a unique, violent and crazy ‘80s revival sound. Over the last decade he built a successful career, as a major act from the darksynth scene. He has toured the world with acts like Ghost and Ministry and performed at well-known festivals such as Coachella & SXSW, and has accumulated 366 million streams of his music worldwide.

THE DEAD DAISIES Release "Long Way To Go" (Live From Daisyland)

“We’ve got a long way to go and no time to get there”, so the song goes! “Long Way To Go” (Live From Daisyland) is the third release from the LIVE series recorded at the world-famous venue Rock City in Nottingham, England during the band's Like No OtherTour in November 2021.

The Dead Daisies took the extremely enthusiastic and vocal crowd on a trip down memory lane with “Long Way To Go”, the classic hit from their 2016 album Make Some Noise. It’s been a crowd favourite and always in the setlist at live shows.

The song took on new life with the voice of rock, lead singer Glenn Hughes’ and the drive from the engine room with Tommy Clufetos on drums and the dynamic dueling guitars of Doug Aldrich and David Lowy.

“It’s a hard-driving rock and roll track with great significance to the world’s predicaments today. What’s really cool about the riff is the first two bars are 4x4 and the third bar is 2x4 which gives it a really interesting feel. It’s a very meaningful track to us as the music is an ode to my friend Doc Neeson and the lyrics that John Corabi came up with are very poignant”- David Lowy

The Dead Daisies continue their rock adventure into 2022 kicking off summer with a massive pan European jaunt that’s set to radiate some heat. There’s a combination of arena and amphitheater shows with Judas Priest, Foreigner, Whitesnake, some prestigious festivals and a stack of headline dates! Rejoining the band is drummer extraordinaire Brian Tichy, these will be the first shows with this lineup.

Stream "Long Way To Go" (Live From Daisyland) Here!

Industrial/ Electronic Rock Band GHOSTATIC Release New Single "Still Haunt My Dreams" to all major platforms!

Cleveland, Ohio industrial/electronic rock band GHOSTATIC has released a brand new single "Still Haunt My Dreams" to all major platforms via Imagen Records.

"After releasing my debut EP on Imagine Records, which was more electronic and bass heavy, I decided to stick to my roots and lean more on the heavy rock/metal style that grabbed my ears when I was an angsty teen. 'Still Haunt My Dreams' is a hit-you-in-the-face roller coaster, conveying the fear, damage, and emotional drain of never being able to escape your past," says Adamo Fiscella, the band's vocalist/guitarist.

From hobby to obsession, raw to mega production, here and the afterlife, Ghostatic is an ominous, all-encompassing presentation of sounds and experiences written, performed, and produced by Adamo Fiscella.

The band released the official music video for "The New Revelation" late last year. The video can be seen below:

In addition, GHOSTATIC will be playing Metal in the Mountains 2022 in Pipestem, West Virginia.

"Still Haunt My Dreams" can be streamed/downloaded at:

POETS OF THE FALL Release Music Video for New Single "Requiem For My Harlequin"

New Album 'Ghostlight' Coming April 29th, 2022

Finnish rockers Poets of the Fall are fast approaching the release of their ninth studio album. The band's new full-length, 'Ghostlight', will see a worldwide release on April 29th, 2022. In support of the album, the imaginative six-piece has released the lead single from 'Ghostlight', as well as an accompanying music video. Fans can check out "Requiem For My Harlequin" below.

Speaking about their new single and the music video, the band comments:

"Poets of the Fall are back again with an imaginative as ever video to their brand new single, Requiem for My Harlequin. It's an immersive voyage through the fantasy world of the lead character's mind, with its tricks and illusions, which create the beliefs and thus, the proof by which we tend to swear. The video is yet another stunning work of art by the group, a veritable blast of vivid imagery and humour, touching the deepest recesses of the soul.”

"Requiem For My Harlequin" can be described as a massive power-drama that hurls you into a dizzying carnival ride; a thick metallic power ballad full of crunchy guitars, big symphonic arrangements, and the silky-smooth golden vocals the band is famous for.

PRE-ORDER 'Ghostlight' HERE

As with the band's previous eight studio albums, Poets of the Fall have gained several #1 spots on the charts, performed worldwide to an enthusiastically loyal international fanbase, and are one of the most internationally successful bands from Finland. Their music videos have hundreds of millions of views on YouTube, streaming numbers reaching over two million plays per month on Spotify alone.

Multi-Platinum, Grammy Nominated Band Saliva Releases New Single "Revelation Man"

Multi-Platinum, Grammy nominated band Saliva is back with their first new music in 4 years. The first track, "Revelation Man," is very personal to singer Bobby Amaru who states, "Revelation man is about a guy who couldn’t accept the struggles of his own addictions. He had to hit rock bottom to see the light. When I say “had to die to find a revelation.” I don’t mean dying literally but there were moments in my life where I felt like I had. It particularly relates with me because of my sobriety of 3 1/2 years. I went through a lot of things before I got sober. "

Saliva will continue to release tracks and ultimately a full album in 2022. The new music has a contemporary feel but sticks to the blue collar roots that their fans love.

After acquiring front man Bobby Amaru in 2011, Saliva became infused with new blood, energy, and spirit. The same energy launched Saliva’s career in 2001 with the release, _Every Six Seconds – a certified Double Platinum-selling album, containing the hits, “Click Click Boom” and 2002 Grammy nominated, “Your Disease.” Saliva’s in-your-face, anthemic writing style continued with a certified Gold-selling album *Back in to Your System_ with hits: “Always,” “Raise Up,” and the Nikki Sixx co-written, “Rest In Pieces.”*

Upon adding former Shinedown and Fuel bassist, Brad Stewart, as a permanent member, Saliva solidified their new lineup consisting of: Wayne Swinny, Paul Crosby, and Amaru.

THE DEVIL'S TRADE Shares Live Video for "Dreams from the Rot"

Dark folk singer-songwriter THE DEVIL'S TRADE is now releasing a brand new live video for the track "Dreams for the Rot!" The video was shot during a live performance at the prestigious Roadburn Redux festival that took place in 2021 and celebrates the artist's upcoming live performances, which are scheduled for April throughout Europe! The video can now be viewed below.

The full performance of the show will be released on all digital platforms on April 15, 2022.

Mastermind Dávid Makó comments on the video: "Roadburn Redux got me in a period when you could not really complain as everyone was hurt in a way and we all had to face the same or similar struggles and losses. It happened to be the lowest period of my life so far where dark and sad meant nothing anymore I just got completely empty and hopeless and finally I got to a point where I had to find professional support to be able to get up and move on. Roadburn Redux was one of the very few things that could give me a reason to try to act like everything was normal while inside I was completely dead. I am so grateful for this opportunity and so glad to be able to share this concert with you all! Keep on going!"

THE DEVIL'S TRADE is supporting their 2020 release, 'The Call of the Iron Peak,' which can be streamed, downloaded, and ordered HERE.

The Iron Peak; a mystical place where one once found his long lost peace total silence and home. Where he would return when his time to come to pass away. A place that has became a materialization of everlasting freedom cut from society and all earthly struggles. As ancient beliefs says heaven is a place where we found peace with our loved ones in life the Iron Peak is some kind of heaven.

Listen to the call of the Iron Peak as it is calling for you to find your true self in a world you want to be isolated from. It is calling for you to make peace with yourself, with the inevitable end. It is calling for Hungarian singer-songwriter Dávid Makó, who redefined himself as THE DEVIL'S TRADE a few years ago, embarking on a long journey with his deeply personal and dark, sometimes doom infused folk songs.

Be it the folk of the Appalachians, the tales of Hungarian and Transylvanian traditionals, THE DEVIL'S TRADE fuses his past of metal and his roots laying deep in the folk songs of his immediate surroundings.

Very much like how the Iron Peak, a mountaintop both metaphorical and literal is calling for Makó, he is calling for you to share his rituals of loves and hopes lost and found along the pilgrimage of his. It is after all, the journey itself that matters the most, and how you adapt. From basements in his hometown of Budapest, to all corners of Europe, stages small and big, THE DEVIL'S TRADEhas been relentlessly walking on his path finding his voice and calling, and that is to let listeners to glimpse into himself through his heart wrenching songs.

His new album, and his debut for Season of Mist, titled 'The Call of the Iron Peak' will be released on August 28th 2020, preceded by a tour in April 2021 alongside UK singer-songwriter Darkher and Swedish neofolk/ambient artist Forndom.

Municipal Waste To Release New Album, "Electrified Brain," on July 1st

Not an April Fools' joke! Richmond's hard-partying, thrash metal maniacs MUNICIPAL WASTE will release their massively-anticipated 7th studio album, "Electrified Brain," on July 1st via Nuclear Blast. Today, the band has revealed the shocking cover artwork by James Bousema, tracklisting and the deadly single "Grave Dive."

Stream "Grave Dive" Single: https://municipalwaste.bfan.link/grave-dive

"Electrified Brain" marks MUNICIPAL WASTE's first album in 5 years, following the release of their critically exalted 2017 record "Slime and Punishment." And don't think they've slowed down in the years since. “We’re not writing any love ballads to sell records,” affirms vocalist Tony Foresta. “We’re just doing what we’ve always done since the band started—and that’s try to write loud, fast, and ripping hardcorepunkmetal. We hope you walk away with some bloody ears, blown speakers, pissed off parents, black eyes, and a healthy distrust of authority.”

Recorded in Philadelphia with producer Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Code Orange), "Electrified Brain" is a high-voltage non-stop masterclass of neck-snapping thrash that'd be the ideal soundtrack for high-speed car chases and backyard steel cage matches as witnessed on the new track "Grave Dive."

“It’s in the vein of songs like ‘Headbanger Face Rip’ and ‘Wave of Death’,” Tony notes. “It’s an inspirational song for our fans to cause bodily harm to themselves, but in a loud and healthy way, of course.”

Pre-Order "Electrified Brain":

MUNICIPAL WASTE will hit the road in support of "Electrified Brain" beginning in April in the U.S. followed by a run of Europe with ANTHRAX in the fall.

Since 2001, Municipal Waste have uncompromisingly stuck to their guns as hard-partying and even harder-hitting torchbearers of 21st century thrash metal. The Richmond, VA quintet—Tony Foresta [vocals], Ryan Waste [guitar], Philip “Landphil” Hall [bass], Dave Witte [drums], and Nick Poulos [guitar]—have transformed from a cult favorite into metal mainstays for a generation. Along the way, Decibeltouted "The Art of Partying" in its coveted “Hall of Fame” and asserted it “revved up interest in thrash and inspired a fresh wave of youthful new bands.” Metal Hammer christened "The Art of Partying" one of “The 50 Greatest Thrash Metal Albums Ever,” while Loudwire pegged "The Art of Partying" as “The Best Thrash Album of 2007” and "Hazardous Mutation" as “The Best Thrash Album of 2005.” The guys have sold out countless shows on multiple continents and piled up tens of millions of streams in the process. 2017’s "Slime and Punishment" bowed in the Top 3 of the Billboard Heatseekers Albums Chart, and "The Last Rager" EP only accelerated their momentum in 2019.

Municipal Waste maintain course as vicious and vital as ever on 2022’s Electrified Brain [Nuclear Blast] as heard on tracks like "Grave Dive," "High Speed Steel" and "Crank The Heat." Recorded during the pandemic in Philadelphia with producer Arthur Rizk [Power Trip, Code Orange], the sessions would be the first time the band reunited in person after a year. Together, they achieved “a thicker and heavier sound.”

In the end, "Electrified Brain" will give you everything you’d want from a Municipal Waste record or heavy metal record, period. “We hope you walk away with some bloody ears, blown speakers, pissed off parents, black eyes, and a healthy distrust of authority,” says Tony.

LORDS OF THE TRIDENT Release New Album 'The Offering' - Out Now!

Album Release Show Tomorrow (April 2nd)

wsg. Grant Truesdell of Unleash The Archers!

Wisconsin-based heavy metal band LORDS OF THE TRIDENT have released their new studio album, 'The Offering', today (April 1) on all major digital/streaming platforms! Featuring the singles "Charlatan", "Acolyte", and "Carry The Weight", the new full-length is the band's sixth LP, and this time around, Lords of the Trident put an emphasis on connecting with their loyal fanbase like never before. In light of the recent lull in live shows and touring, the band created a Patreon where they would be able to share exclusive and finely crafted content with their most eager followers. By the time 'The Offering' was announced for a worldwide release, Patreon members had already been granted access to hear the new album in all of its glory!

Talking about giving 'The Offering' to Patreon members months ahead of the formal release and building their community, vocalist Fang VonWrathenstein comments:

"Releasing The Offering early to our Patreon members was a risk, as no one has done a "drop release" quite like this before, but it paid off enormously! The most diehard Lords fans got to own the album MONTHS in advance of the release, and we added nearly one hundred additional warriors to our metal army! I'd like to thank all the stalwart warriors who supported us during this process (and continue to support us to this day). We've been able to make amazing connections with so many fans via Patreon and Discord...I think the pandemic and the time leading up to the release would've been a much more lonely time without the ability to communicate with these incredible people. But now: the time has come to finally unleash The Offering to the world. Make sure you're wearing at least a full suit of armor before you hit play, as this one is a heavy hitter!"

To celebrate the formal release of 'The Offering', Lords of the Trident is playing a special release party at The Annex at The Red Zone in Madison, WI TOMORROW (April 2) - featuring special guest performer Grant Truesdell of Unleash The Archers!

"We're beyond excited to announce that Grant Truesdell from Unleash the Archers is making the trek from Canada to join us for this year's fest! We'll be playing the whole album with Grant for the first time ever, so if you can make the journey to see it, you should absolutely plan on attending this historic event!"

Fans can expect to hear plenty of announcements about the band's touring plans for 2022 in the weeks to come!

About LORDS OF THE TRIDENT:

Since 2008, the immortal warriors of Lords of the Trident have been pillaging cities and melting faces with their brand of adventurous and epic heavy metal. Sharing the stage (and the tour circuit) with bands such as Unleash the Archers, 3 Inches of Blood, and Seven Kingdoms, their high-energy, pyrotechnic-laden live performances are a sight to behold. Producing more video content, live streams, and music than a band twice their age, the Wisconsin-based quintet are releasing their fifth full-length album (and tenth overall release) The Offering this year. If you like battle, bloodshed, axes, fire, and losing limbs, then mosh your way to the front row and receive your free ticket to Valhalla. If you don’t like these things – too bad. They’re playing anyway, and they’ll make sure to steal your girlfriend in the process.

Fang VonWrathenstein – vocals

Asian Metal – guitar

Baron Taurean Helleshaar – guitar

Pontifex Mortis – bass

THE HELLACOPTERS were formed in 1994 by Nicke Andersson (vocals and guitar), Dregen (guitar), Kenny Håkansson (bass), and Robert Eriksson (drums). At that time Andersson was renowned in the metal scene for his work in the well-known Swedish death metal band ENTOMBED and Dregen had built a reputation as co-founder and guitarist of his main band BACKYARD BABIES.

Next to THE HIVES and THE BACKYARD BABIES, THE HELLACOPTERS are considered one of the most important and influential Swedish rock bands of the 1990s and 2000s - they achieved two Gold certifications, won the Swedish Grammy and a Kerrang! award, have amassed 100 million streams to date, and have supported and toured with the likes of The Rolling Stones, Kiss, Black Sabbath, ZZ Top, or the Foo Fighters. They have released seven albums, ranging fuzzed-out & supercharged garage punk on Supershitty To The Max! (1996) & Payin' The Dues (1997) to perfectly crafted & soulful high-energy rock'n'roll with a strong vintage vibe on the following albums, Grande Rock (1999), High Visibility (2000), By The Grace Of God (2002) and Rock & Roll Is Dead (2005). A compilation of cover songs called "Head Off" was released in 2008 and marked the band's last album before ultimately dissolving. In addition, THE HELLACOPTERS have released almost four dozen singles, splits, and EPs until this day, most of which got the limited 7inch or 10inch vinyl treatment, making them a vinyl collector's dream ... or worst nightmare.

THE HELLACOPTERS reunited in 2016 to play a few shows for the 20th anniversary of their debut album, and have proven an unstoppable force ever since, performing at Sweden Rock Festival, Psycho Las Vegas, Download, Hellfest, Roskilde, Ilosaarirock, among others. In October 2021 they announced that they had signed a deal with Nuclear Blast Records and a new album would be in the works for Spring 2022.

Supreme Unbeing sold their souls to the Devil – release new single “The Devil Smiles”

Supreme Unbeing sold their souls to the Devil – release new single “The Devil Smiles”
(Music video starring Edge of Tomorrow actor Dragomir Mrsic, MMA-fighters Samuel Ericsson & Camila Rivarola)

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 landing Spotify Editorial Playlist placements on Thrashers and New Metal Tracks, and combining a staggering +10 million digital and video streams since their debut.

With all the success, the bands greed has started to grow even further, to the point that they recently sold their souls to the Devil in order to reach a broader audience. The Devil betrayed the band (to no one’s surprise!) and left the band to rot in their own greed until today, April 1, 2022, when the band released their fourth, devil-fooling, single – The Devil Smiles – from their upcoming, second, full-length album Enduring Physicality (to be released 5.5.22).

“As the population is ever-increasing, people grow up, and behave as lifeless puppets programmed to think and act in a certain pre-disposed way thinking that publicly recognized success is the aim of their lives. Yes, we all long for success, and everyone can reach their success. But there is no easy way to success, you have to work hard, be focused, and dedicated to your cause, if you want that spotlight to shine on yourself, and bask in the perceived glory of success. Some people try to cheat their way in life, cheat their way to success. How far will you go to reach your success? Will you make the Devil smile?” Says Zac Red

Following the success of previous singles Savior (Feb 25, 2022), Hide The Beast (Nov 26, 2021) & Face Of Evil (Oct 22, 2021), which already have combined +3 million views on Youtube, since their respective release dates, Supreme Unbeing continues to challenge you to not only enjoy music by singing and dancing along in an ignorant bliss, but to also study the lyrics closely to raise your level of self-awareness. With Swedish actor Dragomir Mrsic (known from Snabba Cash, and Edge Of Tomorrow co-starred along Tom Cruise) continuing to portray different characters in the “mini-series” that the Supreme Unbeing music videos are leading to, he is joined this time by Swedish MMA-fighters Samuel Ericsson & Camila Rivarola who will be trying to give the other a pounding to avoid the flames of hell.

“Don’t be a drone, explore your own thoughts, and explore this reality. You can be anyone you want, and achieve anything you want, no devil needed – Make Yourself Smile.” Says Dragomir Mrsic

Mixed and mastered by grammy award-nominated producer & mix engineer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Arch Enemy, Amaranthe, Evergray and countless more), the track is available today on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and all major streaming services.

“Remember this – you are not your body; you are your mind.” concludes Zac Red of Supreme Unbeing.

Caitlyn Smith Releases “Dreamin’s Free” From Forthcoming Album; HIGH Available 4/8

CAITLYN SMITH RELEASES “DREAMIN’S FREE”
FROM FORTHCOMING ALBUM

Kicks Off Headlining Tour Tonight in Hometown Minneapolis, Minn.

Pre-Save High; Arrives April 8

A week before the release of her forthcoming self-produced third album, High, Monument Records’ acclaimed songstress Caitlyn Smith gives fans another sliver of what’s ahead with “Dreamin’s Free.”

“I spent a good portion of last year searching high and low through my memories and dreams,” shares the Minnesota-native. “I did what any songwriter would do: I turned off all the outside voices and started turning what I found into something that I want to sing.

“This song was born from that place. As an artist, dreaming fuels my life – the risks I choose to take and the art that I create and share with the world.”

Smith collaborated on the ode to big dreamin’ with GRAMMY-award winners Shane McAnally and Lori McKenna:

Yeah, I know that it ain’t been easy
Ain’t got a lot of honey, but we sure got bees
Up to our knees in the weeds and the trouble
‘cause money don’t grow on trees
We can run but wherever we go
Even the freeway gonna take its toll on you and me, baby
We ain’t rich but the dreamin’s free

Kicking things off in her hometown, Smith will begin her headlining The High & Low Tour tonight, at Minneapolis’ famous First Avenue, a former Greyhound bus depot turned iconic rock venue. The show will precede performances at New York City’s Gramercy Theatre on April 6, Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl on April 7 and more.

LATVIA'S BLOODY HEELS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM "ROTTEN ROMANCE"

NEW SINGLE & VIDEO FOR THE TITLE TRACK OUT NOW

Latvian hard rockers Bloody Heels have announced their return with a new studio album, "Rotten Romance" on June 10, 2022. Today, the band has released a new single and video, the title track, from the album. Watch the 'Rotten Romance' music video below:

Pre-order/save "Rotten Romance" HERE: https://orcd.co/rottenromance

Listen to the previously release single, 'Dream Killers' HERE: https://youtu.be/Y3LKGPMBvyM

“Rotten Romance”, their third album overall, follows their Frontiers debut, "Ignite The Sky" (2020). While the band still shows nods to the great ‘80s hard rock scene in their sound, the new album presents a stylistic leap from the band that is delightfully unexpected and welcome. Not content to be stagnant in their musical approach, Bloody Heels have pushed their sound forward, proving that innovation within the confines of a genre is always possible when the will to push through barriers exists.

"Rotten Romance" will certainly please fans of the band's previous work, where strains of classic '80s hard rock were mixed with elements of heavy metal (and that is still very much the case here), but touches of progressive rock, gothic metal, and more modern rock are now identifiable in the mix and with spectacular results. Vocalist Vicky White's whisky-soaked sounding throat is in fine form here, while guitarist Harry Rivers, bassist Gunn Everett, and drummer Gus Hawk already superb playing has jumped up multiple levels. Intense, driving parts mix with atmospheric, sometimes dark breakdowns, giving the album's rhythm an enjoyable variety that works seamlessly.

Have Bloody Heels just provided the blueprint for how the class of bands paying respect to '80s hard rock and metal can actually push the genre into new, exciting, inventive territory? Only time will be the judge of that, but with "Rotten Romance" these Latvian upstarts have certainly thrown down a gauntlet for their peers to attempt to match.

Formed in 2012 in Riga, Latvia, Bloody Heels made a name for themselves with the EP 'Summer Nights' (2014) and the studio albums 'Through Mystery' (2017) and 'Ignite The Sky' (2020). They’ve played shows all around Europe including Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, and the Baltic States.

In addition to the audio of the performance, fans can watch the band's full performance below.

Stream/Download "Live Until The Twilight" HERE: https://orcd.co/untiltwilight

This live EP follows the band's covers EP, "Echoes Of A Reflection", which was released in December 2021. Lacuna Coil, Paradise Lost, Katatonia, The Gathering, and All About Eve are all paid tribute on that EP. Those five artists perfectly encapsulate the blend of influences that False Memories reflects in their own sound. On the covers EP, False Memories offers personal interpretations and reinventions of these songs which have become true classics in their hearts. Listen to that EP HERE: https://orcd.co/fmechoes

False Memories was originally formed in 2015 by guitarist Francesco Savino and soon started working on original material. In 2016, the band released a self-titled EP which included four original tracks and one cover. As time progressed, the band’s soundscapes got more mature and headed towards a more goth rock/metal sound. Invigorated by their new sound, the band started to work on its first full-length release, “Chimerical”. Originally released independently in January 2018, the album featured eight previously unreleased tracks and three of the original songs from the debut EP, for a total of 11 original songs. In October 2018, singer Rossella Moscatello joined the band and the band eventually released a new edition of the “Chimerical” album, including three bonus tracks sung by Rossella.

For their latest studio album, "The Last Night Of Fall" and the new EP, "Echoes Of A Reflection", the band is vocalist Rossella Moscatello, guitarist Francesco Savino, guitarist Moreno Palmisano, bassist Gianluca Zaffino, and drummer Emanuele Cossu.

Darkwave-electro trio VONAMOR present 'Lucky You' from debut eponymous album

"Captivating avant-garde new-wave... charmingly ensures via an 80s call-and-response style throwback; with an ensnaring melody" ~ Post-Punk.com 

"Dynamic and exciting... a clear indication of how original and passionate, if not also complex, their artistic vision can be" ~ The Spill Magazine

"An addictive necromantic mood" ~ Amplify Music Magazine
 
"Chilling and fiery… Stellar offering" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

"A dark delicious slice of darkwave excellence" ~ Skylight Webzine

"Charismatic and talented... avant-garde sensibilities and diverse influences, delivering music that is unique and haunting" ~ The Record Stache

<<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.>>

Following the release of their stunning self-titled debut album, Italian postpunk-darkwave-electro trio VONAMOR present their new single 'Lucky You' via a new seductive and prophetic videoclip, directed by Francesca Bottaro.

VONAMOR is made up of sisters Giulia Bottaro, Francesca Bottaro and Luca Guidobaldi, with Francesco Bassoli and Martino Cappelli joining in for live performances. This project started in 2016. Initially focused on communicating images and composing scores for short films, they morphed into the trio we know today with their style, literary echoes, imperious art-pop and enigmatic aesthetics.

Their album, which boasts the artistic production of the eclectic producer Lucio Leoni, follows their recent singles 'You the People' and 'Take Your Heart' and earlier videos for 'Never Betray Us' and 'Fast-Forward Girl'.

Combining classical influences with electronic music, VONAMOR confirms their will and ability to communicate audio-visually, offering glimpses of the contemporary world in an artistic and forward-looking vision, even though it may be sometimes dark or seductively morbid.

In the video for 'Lucky You', VONAMOR catapults us into a world oscillating between the poised aesthetics of a fashion shoot and the anguish of a world suffocated by plastic. Black and white illuminates, invigorating half-naked bodies, as if embalmed by layers of plastic. Aesthetically attractive images become suffocating and then turn into ethereal ones, in a continuous flow between claustrophobia and breathe. In being transported to a world of pills, cellophane and tin cans, we can join the trio in wondering whether we've “screwed it all up”, in a prophetic interweaving of voices (and languages) singing of wars that “are not so cold anymore”, of “fake news and fake truths and things that must have been misunderstood”.

The 'VONAMOR' album offers a wildly emotional trip through stories of love, belonging, submission, protest, power, desire, abuse and the passion that affects our everyday lives. Here we find stories of femme fatales and fearful memories, of burning desires, motherly loves and fatal tragedies, falling empires and latent revolutions. Music about a messed-up world that is always moving too fast, yet makes us dangerously linger between reality and dystopia, sanity and madness. Music conveying the hope that we recover our true and authentic bond with mother nature and other human beings.

“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.

The full 'VONAMOR' album is out now, both digitally and on CD. It is available across online stores and streaming platforms, including Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer, Spotify and elsewhere, and can be ordered directly from Time To Kill Records.
