No Shoes Reefs HERE AND NOW with Tampa Bay Watch 4/22 (Earth Day)

NO SHOES REEFS CELEBRATES HERE AND NOW 2022
WITH EARTH WEEK ACTIVATIONS WITH TAMPA BAY WATCH
Culminates Earth Day, Friday, April 22 with Living Shoreline Deployment

With Here And Now 2022 kicking off at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium on Saturday, April 23, No Shoes Reefs is celebrating Kenny Chesney’s return to the road by teaming with Tampa Bay Watch for five days of Earth Week activities, culminating with their Living Shoreline Project deploying Reef Balls filled with Saltmarsh Grass and planting Saltmarsh Grass behind them to prevent further erosion and rebuild lost shoreline on Friday, April 22.

“Talk about a way to merge my worlds,” Chesney says. “We have been doing various projects around the country. But when Tampa Bay Watch had a week of actual activities designed to not just walk people through the process, but teach them how to not only make Reef Balls but allow people to deploy the Reef Balls filled with Saltmarsh Grass on Earth Day, it was the best kind of synergy possible.”

The week’s activities are part of a cumulative activation. On April 19, Reef Balls will be built. On April 20, Saltmarsh Grass will be harvested for the Reef Balls. On April 21, the Reef Balls will be filled with the Saltmarsh Grass for the Earth Day deployment on April 22.

The Living Shoreline Project will sink the Reef Balls into the sediment, where they are heavy enough to remain lodged and allow the Saltmarsh Grass to grow. Their presence protects the shore from further erosion, and the Saltmarsh grass growth and eventual coral growth rebuilds the shoreline that’s been lost since the ‘50s.

Three No Shoes Reefs Ambassadors from Ohio, long time members of No Shoes Nation who’ve taken up the cause, are participating in Friday’s activities, making it truly hands on for NSN and NSR. And to mark the occasion, a special sea grass green t-shirt marking the partnership with Tampa Bay Watch – each made from five repurposed plastic bottles – will be made available to support their alliance at www.league-legacy.com/pages/noshoesreefs.

No Shoes Reefs has had a busy year. Recently profiled in TIDE magazine, the organization has been integral in various projects in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Maryland and Connecticut, expanding its reach to support other organizations sharing its vision and efforts.

Chesney offers, “When you can work with local groups, they understand their needs, their issues – and by supporting them, we can help them take care of their oceanfront in ways that make sense. But being able to be part of something so all-encompassing in Tampa as we’re starting to get back to bringing No Shoes Nation together is the perfect thing to kick off a tour.”

For music, Here And Now 2022 presented by Blue Chair Bay Rum and fueled by MARATHON is stacked with the best country music has to offer: Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music Female Vocalist of the Year Carly Pearce, five-time ACM and four-time CMA Group Old Dominion and three-time GRAMMY Duo/Group winners Dan + Shay. And in Tampa, there’s even more: the Earth Week Living Shoreline Project alongside Tampa Bay Watch’s three decades worth of education, restoration, conservation and community building efforts.

About Tampa Bay Watch:
Tampa Bay Watch is an environmental nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering a healthy Tampa Bay watershed through community-driven restoration projects, education programs and outreach initiatives. Founded in 1993, the organization empowers thousands of community volunteers throughout the year to plant native grasses, construct oyster reefs and remove fishing line and marine debris from coastlines in order to help the bay recover from its environmental threats. The organization also focuses on environmental education striving to create guardians of the Tampa Bay estuary from a young age by providing field experiences that combine classroom resources with hands-on field marine science and environmental exploration.

About No Shoes Reefs:
Originally established in 2015, Chesney teamed with the Building Conservation Trust to create artificial reefs in places where degradation undermined healthy reefs, which provide living habitat for many kinds of sea life. Working at a grass roots level with the Coastal Conservation Association, 18 months after submerging their first two structures, Chesney and CCA President Pat Murray heard the fish finders and depth censors go crazy as they floated over the locations on the St. John River. Since then, No Shoes Reefs has worked with organizations in Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, South Carolina, and of course East Tennessee where Chesney is from, to raise awareness and support for education and activations in both freshwater and saltwater habitats.

Power Metal Dwarves WIND ROSE Reveal Anthemic New Single “Together We Rise” + Music Video

New Album, Warfront, out June 10, 2022 via Napalm Records

Pre-Order NOW!

After releasing their epic, highly-acclaimed 2019 album of powerful tales and even more powerful riffs, Wintersaga, power metal’s mightiest dwarves, WIND ROSE, return from the forge – hammering more anthems against the anvil on their new album Warfront, out June 10, 2022 via Napalm Records!

The dwarven power metal army marches onward with their new single “Together We Rise”with solid, stomping riffs and heroic chants! Inspired by brotherhood and dwarven armies in combat, “Together We Rise” truly stands out musically on the new album Warfront. With well over 30 million streams on Spotify alone and another 30 million on YouTube for their last album Wintersaga, Warfront is one of the most anticipated power metal albums of the year!

WIND ROSE on “Together We Rise”:

“’Together We Rise’ is a new, heavy piece of metal forged and smithed to the anvil; it comes from deep underground. It’s the sound of a thousand blacksmiths creating weapons for the biggest dwarven army of the century.”

Watch the music video for “Together We Rise”

Dwarven power metal force WIND ROSE returns with mighty battle anthems!

The five-piece from Pisa, Italy – which saw a massive breakthrough with their explosively viral reimagination of Minecraft-themed anthem “Diggy Diggy Hole” (clocking in at over 30 million views on YouTube to date) – resurge with ten heroic songs to prepare for battle. Monumental opener “Of War and Sorrow” makes way for gut-punching “Army of Stone”, immediately getting your blood pumping when the power and folk metal infused hook kicks in – a feat WIND ROSE deftly displays across Warfront! No matter how vast the storm, how frostbitten the winter cold, WIND ROSE’s sense for sensational hooks and catchy riffs, topped by Francesco Cavalieri’s distinct voice, careens them to the forefront of their dark and sinister contemporaries without forfeiting their unique heaviness and grit!

Triumph: Rock & Roll Machine, produced by Banger Films (Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, Rush and ZZ Top), delivers on revisiting a band that sold millions of albums, played for millions of fans, and never put themselves above their audience.

“The Triumph story was compelling to me, Marc, and the Banger team because it was an opportunity to piece together a broken puzzle,” says Sam Dunn (who co directed the film with Marc Ricciardelli). “We wanted to know how and why the band dissolved at the peak of their powers. It was quite the ride!”

"Triumph lays it all on the line in this endlessly fascinating documentary, in turn cementing their legacy as a tireless Canadian rock trio whose galvanizing magic power -- as evidenced on both the live stage and within the grooves of their many brilliant albums -- could simply not be contained. Triumph's ongoing, lasting musical impact resides well beyond their native border." --Mike Mettler, Sound & Vision Magazine

“Sam and Marc did an outstanding job documenting what it has been like to have been aboard the Triumph train for the past near-50 years,” raves Triumph bassist Mike Levine. “For fans old, new, and those to come in the future, this is all they’ll need to know about the band.”

The Triumph line-up – Rik Emmett, Gil Moore, and Mike Levine – rocked the world, and in the process, gave us countless classic hard rock anthems (“Fight the Good Fight,” “Hold On,” “Magic Power,” “I Live for the Weekend,” “Lay It On the Line,” and of course, “Rock & Roll Machine,” and albums (Just a Game, Progressions of Power, Allied Forces, Never Surrender, Thunder Seven, etc.).

Originally formed in 1975 and hailing from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, the trio was always proud of their Great White North roots. And seemingly ever since their inception, Triumph was on the cutting edge of technology when it came to their live show – particularly lighting, sound, and effects. Sophisticated lasers, pyrotechnics and moving lighting rigs, all computer-controlled – Triumph was one of the first arena rock bands to incorporate all of these elements into their shows. Triumph’s headlining tours were legendary, and the band was featured on many memorable stadium/outdoor shows – including the US Festival, the World Series of Rock, the American Rock Festival, Texxas Jam, and Day on the Green, to name a few.

“One of the best music documentaries I’ve ever seen, ‘Rock & Roll Machine’ is a superbly crafted documentary - an in-depth look at a band that makes me proud to be Canadian…a true TRIUMPH of a story!”

— Jason Rockman, iHeart Radio / CHOM FM

SOMALI YACHT CLUB Streams New Song in Full via The Obelisk

Psychedelic stoner rock trio SOMALI YACHT CLUB will be releasing their third full-length, 'The Space,' tomorrow, April 22, via Season of Mist, making it the band's debut to the label! The band is now streaming the record in its entirety via The Obelisk! You can hear the album ahead of its release at THIS LOCATION.

The native Ukrainians have pledged to donate all profits made in 2022 (until the end of the year) to various charities to help their home country of Ukraine.

'The Space' can be pre-saved via all digital streaming platforms HERE and pre-ordered HERE.

SOMALI YACHT CLUB is a moniker designed to represent dichotomy and variance. Named after the real-life pirates who attack vessels off the Somalian coast and the peaceful leisure of those with time to kill and money to burn, SOMALI YACHT CLUB musically embodies the boundless, wide-open, quiet/loud spaces that atmospheric post-rock and metal occupy. After over a decade of mesmerizing audiences in their Ukrainian home base and Eastern Europe, SOMALI YACHT CLUB inked a deal with Season of Mist in 2021 to reissue their back catalogue and release their third full-length, The Space.

The band’s story began in 2010 when guitarist/vocalist Ihor sent drummer Lesyk a random message on a Ukrainian musician’s forum to play a hybrid of math rock, post-hardcore, stoner and post-metal. Intrigued, Lesyk called bassist Artur to create the band’s first (and only) lineup. The initial jam sessions went so well that the trio decided to move forward on a permanent basis. Relying on albums such as Moccasin’s The Last Leaf, Ahkmed’s early EPs, Mars Red Sky’s self-titled, the entire Sungrazer discography and the legendary Isis duo of Oceanic and Panopticon, as well as Down, Electric Wizard, Queens of the Stone Age and now-labelmates Weedeater, the SOMALI YACHT CLUBsound was formulated.

“It was a very naive and simple time,” comments the band. “Ihor, as always, was full of energy and it was not enough for him for the bands in which he played at the time. We just started to jam and found the blend that fits all of us. Also, we always loved bands and particular songs that are eclectic — we get a lot of inspiration from such things. They are fun to play and hopefully fun to listen to.”

However broad and varied their influences may be, SOMALI YACHT CLUBstarted to forge their own path via their self-released 2011 Sandsongs and 2013 Desert Walls EP. The pair laid the groundwork for their formidable full-length debut, The Sun, which channeled spaced-out, psychedelic jams with churning stoner doom metal. Their amalgamation of all-things stoner continued through the 2015 Sun’s Eyes EP and 2018 The Sea full-length, the latter noted by The Sludgelord that it “succeeds in taking the listener on that well-known ride of warm tones and meandering melodies” and MetalStorm.net stating, “SOMALI YACHT CLUB offers up a fresh spin on a rich but well-explored genre and in doing so deliver one of the early highlights of 2018.”

The new year brings forth The Space. The album was tracked at various points throughout 2021 at Jenny Records near Lviv, Ukraine, with mixing and mastering courtesy of Yaroslav Tseluiko at Jaro Sound in the Czech Republic. The cover depicts a supernova and was handled by Dasha Pliska, who was also responsible for The Sun and The Sea artwork. The Space also completes the trilogy that began with The Sun and The Sea, but, according to the band, there is no unifying theme.

“It’s a bit hard to tell a real story in our music because, let’s be honest — it’s still more instrumental-focused. The Space is very loosely connected to a single concept as it has even more abstract and personal lyrical themes. Also, the song ‘Pulsar’ was the first written and named song for this album, so it set a path for the title.”

The Space finds SOMALI YACHT CLUB now in full expanse of their sonic elements, delivering six cuts of atmospheric post-rock/metal with dashes of melancholy and introspection. Ihor’s relaxed, if not smooth delivery runs parallel to his driving, fuzzed-out riffs that are dotted with traces of melody. The rhythm section of Artur and Lesyk is the undisputed anchor, maintaining a careful ebb and flow that embellishes songs that demand room to breathe and require texture and thoughtfulness — notably the 12-minute-plus closer, “Momentum,” which features one of the band’s finest jams to date. Such numbers resulted from SOMALI YACHT CLUB’s regular practice sessions that bore more than enough new material.

“We wrote The Space pretty much the same way as the previous two,” says the band. “We brought an idea or a riff to rehearsal, play and jam it a lot of times to see if it doesn’t go stale, record demos, listen, think, re-think, change everything and so on. This time we went to the studio with more than enough material — some even didn’t get a proper recording as we understood it needed even more time to mature and be reconsidered. Some ideas became an outtake; some songs were created right in the studio.”

Like their name serving a dual purpose, so does SOMALI YACHT CLUB’s output on The Space. The album contains a regular balancing act between heaviness and soft, clean guitar moments that will place SOMALI YACHT CLUB into the echelons of bands who have previously mastered the timeless art of dynamics. The Space is the perfect elixir in a time rife with uncertainty, menace and chaos. Alas, the new age of stoner has arrived.

Cage Fight Share Visualizer for "Killer" Video + It HURTS!

SELF-TITLED ALBUM OUT MAY 13 VIA CANDLELIGHT

Hardcore x thrash crossover band Cage Fight have dropped the new single "Killer." Listen to and watch the visualizer below.

Bassist Jon Reid explains, "'Killer' is a release of anger and fury directed at anyone that has caused wrong and is a rallying cry to those that feel pure visceral rage and need a soundtrack to that pure emotion. The song's intensity is based in a simple remit, if you have wronged... you better start running..."

The tracks accompanying video clip documents frontwoman Rachel Aspe tattooing the band's logo on a client's palm. The resulting image — a grabbing hand with the Cage Fight logo tattooed at the center — visually portrays the violent rage at the core of the band's music and was aptly used as the album artwork.

"I wanted to create artwork that represents pain, anger, resilience, and power – themes of our music," Aspe shares. "The palm is extremely painful to tattoo, so the palm-tattooed hand clawing the air in a red mist does this very aggressively. I tattooed a very brave model at Evil From The Needle in Camden; the hand had to be strapped down, and it took two tortuous hours."

The band's debut self-titled album is due out May 13 on Candlelight. Pre-order it here.

CAGE FIGHT ARE:

Rachel Aspe — Vocals

James Monteith — Guitar

Irish indie-rock quintet Friendmaker presents vibrant sophomore single 'Weird'. Watch the art-inspired video

"Holds great promise... catchy and colorful, yet comfortably on the reflective end of the spectrum, their personalities percolating through this stunning creation" ~ The Record Stache

"Clever blend of pop smarts and folk authenticity, the balance between the gentle hook and subtle harmony" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

"Alt folk sound with a rock edge to its energy and enterprise, a presence and prowess... a rousing and impacting encounter" ~ Ringmaster Review

"Cinematic catharsis that glides on the waves of neo-folk and ebbs and flows towards the shores of orchestral pop... whilst peering on the horizon of baroque rock" ~ The Manc Review

Irish indie alt-rock band Friendmaker presents ‘Weird’, the second single from their forthcoming debut album. Musically, this deliberately repetitive ear worm subtly changes on each refrain, reflecting the abstractions of dreamlike repetition. With audio samples of Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung’s dream theory bookending the piece, this is three minutes of rhythmic indie rock with hooky melodies and pounding choruses.

This release also includes a previously unreleased B-side called ‘Leaky Mick and Vinny P the Talker’. On both tracks, Marron’s endearing storytelling approach and insightful lyrics blend with a rich soundtrack of carefully crafted folk-tinged indie rock.

A five-piece fronted by singer, songwriter and producer David Marron (Sanzkrit, Somefinn), Friendmaker hails from Carrickmacross (County Monaghan). Marron (vocals and guitar) is joined by Maolíosa McMahon (vocals and keys), Paul Finn (guitar and vocals), Paul Markey (bass) and Fintan Marron (drums).

Last month, the band released their debut single 'You, Me and Everything Else', an endearing and reflective folk song that wilfully loses itself to a darker undertow - the pause before a new chapter and love beyond the initial spark and the early excitement. The new release sees the band up the energy with their indie rock influences on show.

Speaking on the new release ‘Weird’, songwriter David Marron says, "Lyrically, the song searches for meaning in a recurring dream, examining the semi-consciousness experienced between waking and sleeping, specifically the changeover between abstraction and lucidity and asks why the events of a dream often stay with us beyond slumber, dictating our conscious mood as if rooted in reality? Do we pay enough attention to the foreshadowing presented in our recurring dreams? And can we afford to ignore a subconscious that consistently throws up a repeated story line?"

The accompanying video takes its cues from the artwork of the De Stijl movement. Like the works of Mondrian and Van Doesburg, the video attempts to distill its subject matter to the very simplest form. The minimalistic primary colours of DeStijl are gone. Refined further to a monochromatic palette that basks in its own absurdity. A fragmented surrealism unfolds to the song’s rhythmic patterns attempting to smother the viewer in what could and should be a straight forward performance video. A suffocating truncation of half shots and obscured movements creates any perceptual discomfort.

Marron, who also created this video, notes, "I wanted the viewer to feel uneasy, almost frustrated by not seeing the whole picture. As close as I could get to creating that confused dreamlike experience.”

After Marron's previous band Sanzkrit ground to a halt, Marron found himself trying to fill a void by playing guitar in a few bands DJing, doing graphic design for bands and running an Arts Festival. Even though he was keeping busy in creative fields, he felt he was still ignoring a big and important part of himself. He notes, "Music was solely personal therapy for dealing with difficulty. It wasn’t something I really felt like sharing at that time.”

On April 21st, ‘Weird’ will be released via the band's own imprint House of Strange Vinyl and will be available everywhere digitally, including Bandcamp, where 'You, Me & Everything Else' can also be found.

American Hard Rock band Artifas was formed in 2011 in Jackson, TN by lead guitarist Cody Criswell and lead vocalist Scottie Somerville. In the months following, the two founders of the group would immediately recruit an assortment of hometown musicians and begin looking to record their debut EP. After having a long and ugly encounter that resulted in the theft of all the bands funds and receiving no album in return, the original incarnation of the group would spend 2012-2013 doing several independent tours and writing music. After debuting with their EP Enemy Inside in 2013 and doing numerous regional/national tours in support of it, the band replaced former members with guitarist Mikey Miller, bassist Anthony Mattox, and drummer Jared Wainscott.

With almost two years of touring with the new lineup under their belts, Artifas inked themselves a record deal and hit the studio to make their first full length album. The 2015 release of the title track, “Inhuman,” would bring the band some commercial success, reaching # 32 on Billboard’s Active Rock chart and sending the band on the road in support of their new album. The band landed tours with established artists like Theory of a Deadman, Shamans Harvest, Pop Evil, Saint Asonia, Aranda, and others. The follow up single from that record, “Blood 4 Blood”, would later get picked up by the World Series of Fighting and subsequently land a feature in the UFC movie “Fight Valley”. The band parted ways with their record label in 2016, and remained on tour throughout the US for most of the following year, also traveling internationally for the first time with the likes of Papa Roach, Hoobastank, P.O.D., Trapt, and Sick Puppies to play for our American Troops.

Multiple tour cycles later, Artifas found themselves back in the studio making new music. The band worked with multiple writers and producers throughout the entirety of 2018, but would ultimately only find themselves frustrated with the recordings that resulted. After a soul search within the group, Artifas elected to embrace their own vision and write/produce their next album independently, free from the creative overreach of outside influence.

After two years of writing, recording, and mixing, Artifas completed the new album, and unleashed it upon the world. With catchy guitar riffs, dizzying drums, and soaring melodies, Reflections will send you on an emotional journey, exploring the band’s semi-prog, radio rock sound while diving deeper into the human complex with lyrics centered around self awareness and the bands own struggles with mental health. The goal for the creation of this album was to make a record that met the band’s expectations and you can rest assured they held nothing back. Mixed and Mastered by Forrester Savell (Twelve Foot Ninja, Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus), Reflections promises to wow you with musical prowess, all the while delivering Artifas’ important message on unity, inspiration, and the sempiternal battle between dark and light.

AUDREY HORNE Releases "Animal" Music Video, New Album "Devil’s Bell" out this Friday!

Pre-Order the Album HERE!

On April 22, 2022, Bergen-based heavy rock overlords AUDREY HORNE will ring the Devil’s Bell with a future Scandinavian hard rock classic! Four years after their much-acclaimed Blackout record, the band is currently gearing up for the release of their seventh studio album, Devil’s Bell, that drops this Friday via Napalm Records.

What started back in 2002 soon took the Norwegians and their expertly executed, riff-soaked fury all the way to the top of the rock scene. As with every AUDREY HORNE album, there are no duds or misfires as the songs flow together seamlessly, making Devil’s Bell a delight to play from the first note straight to the end. Devil’s Bell offers nine fist-pumping songs that will shake concert venues worldwide. Frontman Toschie once again proves that he has one of the most charismatic and energetic voices in rock, and the kinetic guitar-work of Ice Dale (Enslaved) and Thomas Tofthagen (ex-Sahg) underlines an outstanding genre-warp of 70s and 80s rock via NWOBHM, keeping the music rocking and the listener locked in. The band is tight, the music is festive, and the songs stick upon first listen – that’s how a modern hard rock album should sound!

In support of their upcoming record release, the heavy rock outfit has just shared a third single alongside a killer music video for "Animal" - a stripped down rocker with an anthemic arena chorus that will make you go crazy!

Watch the new AUDREY HORNE video below

Says frontman Toschie says about "Animal":

“Now there’s just a few days left until we release Devil’s Bell upon you. It is a beast of a record, so it is only fair that we give you all a heads up with a song like ‘Animal’. We hope it will only make you hungrier for the rest. Play it loud and jump start the weekend with it. Lots of love from the Audrey Wolfpack!”

Devil’s Bell was recorded and produced by the band, with mixing by Herbrand Larsen. Highly praised by the music press, with several top album soundcheck positions and acclaimed critiques worldwide, AUDREY HORNE’s new album will be out this Friday and available as the following formats:

- 6page Digisleeve

- 1 LP Gatefold Black Vinyl

- 1 LP Gatefold Curacao Vinyl + Slipmat

Flamingo Overlords TROLLFEST Reveal New Single “Flamingo Libre” + Trippy Music Video

Flamingo Overlord out May 27, 2022 via Napalm Records

Pre-Order NOW!

TROLLFEST’s flamingo madness is taken to another level today with the release of their new single “Flamingo Libre”! If you were delivered a mysterious package to your door – by a Flamingo of course – would you open it? If there was an ominous drink in that package – would you take a sip, just to see what it tastes like? If your answer to both of those questions is “yes”, then you are in for a wild, wild ride with “Flamingo Libre”!

“Flamingo Libre” is a psychedelic flamingo party, accompanied by deep saxophones, shrill organs and a catchy chorus. With crystal clear mixing and mastering by Jacob Hansen (Hansen Studios), TROLLFEST’s multi-faceted, colorful Flamingo Overlord comes to life on this track!

TROLLFEST single Jostein “Trollmannen” Austvik on “Flamingo Libre”:

“Flamingo libre is a fairly unknown substance favored by dictators and mad people alike. No one knows exactly what it is or what it does, but a lot of people have radically changed their outlook on life after contact with it. The song flamingo libre is, to date, the most in depth study of this concoction we have. It is by no means complete, so caution is advised whenever approaching any and all things looking like or otherwise connected to this elixir.

If Michael Jackson had gotten all his plastic surgery to make concrete balls instead, this would have been his biggest hit.”

Watch the music video for “Flamingo Libre”

More flamboyant than Elton John, as intense as Slipknot, cooler than Limp Bizkit and boasting dance tunes that would make even ABBA proud —TROLLFEST has it all and more. In addition to their beloved trademarks, on Flamingo Overlord, TROLLFEST don’t shy away from adding new elements to their already expansive soundscape.

Catchy, groovy and threatening to have you seeing Flamingos wherever you walk in life, TROLLFEST’s Flamingo Secret Agents will soon be everywhere.

Flamingo Overlord begins with the insanely catchy “Dance Like A Pink Flamingo” – the unforgettable track made world-famous with the band’s zany performance at Eurovisionqualifier Melodi Grand Prix earlier this year – clearing the way for the bar anthem “All Drinks On Me”, which keeps the energy and drinks flowing before venturing into “Twenty Miles an Hour”. The track continues the party with a groovy funk flavoured sound, featuring a rap and saxophone solo that will leave listeners going bonkers! “Flamingo Libre” will soon whisk you away and have you dreaming of tropical drinks and magical nights, while “Pina Colada” stands as a much-needed summer anthem best suited for blasting while convertible cruising. Flamingo Overlord closes with the mysterious “Bob Venke”, telling the unlikely story of the mighty Flamingo Overlord's quest for world domination.

Flamingo Overlord will be available in the following formats in various territories:

DECAPITATED Drops Stunning Video For Single "Hello Death" Feat. Tatiana Shmayluk (JINJER)

DROPS STUNNING VIDEO FOR SINGLE "HELLO DEATH" FEAT. TATIANA SHMAYLUK (JINJER)

PRE-ORDER AVAILABLE HERE: https://bfan.link/DecapitatedAlbum

Polish death metal masters DECAPITATED are set to release their new masterpiece Cancer Culture on May 27th and surprise their fans with a stunning new single and video.

This is what metalheads have been waiting for - a duett with one of the most amazing and outstanding female metal vocalists - Tatiana Shmayluk from the mighty JINJER.

Tatiana, a formidable screamer, went the clean vocal route for this track, enriching “Hello Death” with a moody vibe and an undeniable hook.

Vogg says, "JINJER is one of the most interesting metal acts of the last few years. And Tatiana’s vocals in the song will surprise some people. It’s really unique and amazing.
With this song, we have achieved something remarkable. We have combined two different musical styles in 'Hello Death'. As you all know, we love to add something interesting to our music. With 'Hello Death' we managed to unite our style of technical death metal with Tatiana's vocals, which adds an absolutely different epic dimension. Tatiana has one of the most incredible voices in the metal scene, and it was a wholly different and exciting experience to work with her on this track. Her voice filled the song with other emotions, which completed the meaning behind the lyrics. The song is about the fight between life and death, where we connected brutal, heavy riffs with feminine, lyrical vocals, which are powerful, influential, and straight to the point. This combination is a new thing in DECAPITATED's music, and it shows that sometimes you need to leave your comfort zone and take a risk to achieve something totally epic.“

The video was filmed in March with Grupa 13 in Poland, while Tatiana was filming her part in a studio in the USA.

The primary place for the video was a tiny and one of the oldest existing baroque Evangelical churches in Poland, built between 1743 and 1749, in Goszcz.

Check Out PSYCHOSTICK Ridiculous New B-Sides LP

The absurd metal band PSYCHOSTICK has released their newest LP, ...and stuff. A b-sides and rarities album containing mashups / covers / parodies and originals spanning PSYCHOSTICK'S over two decade long career. A SEPULTURAstyled cover of the RAY PARKER JR 1984 hit theme song for Ghostbusters and a metal cover of the iconic MONTY PYTHONclassic, "Galaxy Song," just scratch the surface of this eclectic collection.

"There's one live song called 'The Sombrero Prophecy' where fans battle for the honor of wearing a sombrero. We've been trying to 
put it on an album for YEARS. We kept saying, 'This album already has enough tracks, let's put it on the next one.' That happened 3 
albums in a row. Enough is enough, it feel so good to finally have an album we have no excuse not to put it on." - The J, Guitar Ninja

"The album is definitely good and not bad." - Rawrb, vocalist

"FINALLY! The old tunes, the new tunes, and all the weird stuff in between are finally all together in one place to tickle your ear holes. More majestic miscellaneous metal than a million menacing magnetic mallards moshing in moccasins! I hope everyone enjoys this record as much as we do." - Matty Moose, bassist

Psychostick's ...and Stuff is a collection of B sides and rarities going all the way back to the beginning of Psychostick being a band. 
Psychostick doesn't do anything normal, and doing a B-sides record is no exception.

The album is packed full to the edge with music, 80 minutes, which is the maximum for a cd. No more will physically fit on a cd.

"The last time we put out an album that long was our second full length album, Sandwich, which had a track on it called 'We Ran Out of CD Space.' On this album, we re-recorded that song with Rob playing piano and singing. We call that track, 'We Ran Out of CD Space... Again.' - PSYCHOSTICK
