"Dawn of Ashes keep bucking expectations as they go, never settling into one niche but instead straddling them all, and making some of them feel very uncomfortable about being straddled...It fits well with the band’s lack of overly-traditional sounds and images; combining what one loves about dark extreme metal with contemporary topics in a disturbing way." - METALSUCKS

Advance Praise for Scars of the Broken

"Dawn of Ashes certainly has made the move of the Phoenix, rising and evolving in spectacular fashion as a band. Through dark tones and cathartic lyrics, the album has successfully captured the darkness of a mind haunted by depression and loneliness that is sure to connect with an audience lost in the doldrums." - HEAVY Magazine

"The nature of the songs has become highly cinematic, especially in the narrative and storytelling aspects. This is where the power of Scars Of The Broken lies: the construction of a horrendous post-apocalyptic image in the listener’s mental background." - Metal Temple

"Each song that has been put into the album is carved into perfection so that it fits well into the album." - Metalheads Forever

"For those who are looking for an album to look forward to this year, this would be one them. “Scars of the Broken” is refreshing yet nostalgic at the same time. Even one listen of the entire album will have the individual wanting to put it on repeat." - Music Takeover
"Musically and lyrically this is a powerful album. The ebbs and flow of the music are amazingly timed with the poignant lyrics. Kristof said he poured out every darkest and deepest emotion into every song. It shows." - All Music Magazine

"Scars Of The Broken is not to be missed, an album with the capacity to ignite the dying flame inside of you and act as a balm for anyone who feels broken in this life." - Laura Slominski - OriginalRock.net

"Overall, this album is a magnificent piece of art from Dawn Of Ashes and is a must listen if you are into Dark Cyber Industrial Metal." - Jacob Dillon - Rock At Night

Los Angeles, CA-based DAWN OF ASHES – whose very name brings to mind “the beginning of the end” – has broken ground across multiple genres, from aggrotech/terror EBM to industrial black metal, producing a unique hybrid of dark electro and industrial-metal styles since 2001

ELUVEITIE Release New Lyric Video For The Single "Aidus"

Last month ELUVEITIE came back with their new song 'Aidus'. Today, the band is releasing the brand new lyric video. After the first video for 'Aidus' already has more than 700 thousand plays on YouTube, the fantastic lyric video for the song now follows.

Founding member Chrigel Glanzmann comments on the approach:
"Definitely one of the harshest songs of Eluveitie ever. It's the sheer consequence of our spiritual journey with "Ategnatos."

We're no longer a "Celtic Metal" band... a metal band singing about celtic history. We're Celts playing metal music from all our hearts.

We're no more a "Pagan Metal" band. We are metal music playing pagans from all our hearts, gashing principles of our modern societies with our ancient message like a surgical blade.

That's probably the best way to describe our new single. Deal with it!"

Watch the new lyric video below.

ELUVEITIE are:

Chrigel Glanzmann - vocals, whistles, mandola, bagpipes, bodhran
Fabienne Erni - vocals, celtic harp, mandola
Alain Ackermann - drums
Rafael Salzmann - guitars
Jonas Wolf - guitars
Kay Brem - bass
Michalina Malisz – hurdy gurdy
Matteo Sisti - whistles, bagpipes, mandola
Nicole Ansperger - fiddle

DISMEMBER - Sign With Nuclear Blast / "Like An Everflowing Stream" Kicks Off Catalog Re-issue Campaign

Recently reformed Swedish death metal pioneers DISMEMBER are proud to announce that they have once again joined the ranks of NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS, where they released their demo, Reborn In Blasphemy (1990), their 1991 debut album, Like An Everflowing Stream, as well as the four records that would follow. In celebration of this announcement, a fully remastered version of Like An Everflowing Stream has been made available on streaming services worldwide today after it had been absent for quite some time.

Like An Everflowing Stream - hailed by many as one of the best death metal albums of all time - is the first entry in a re-issue campaign of the entire DISMEMBER back catalog, which is currently being remastered from the original albums. Stay tuned for more info on proper LP & CD re-issues that are in the works for late 2022!

LISTEN TO "LIKE AN EVERFLOWING STREAM" HERE:
https://dismember.bfan.link/like-an-ever-flowing-stream

Fred Estby (drums) comments: “After reuniting the original line-up and performing sold-out shows in 2019, the axe chopping business needed a solid partner to get the festering complete back catalog back on the streets. The unholy alliance of 1990 is reconfirmed, Dismember and Nuclear Blast Records are once again a perfect kill team!”

Jens Prüter, Head of A&R Nuclear Blast Europe, adds: "It’s a pleasure to bring back one of the Nuclear Blast bands of the early days. The 1991 debut album Like An Ever Flowing Stream quickly became a Death Metal classic and they haven’t released a weak album until they officially split up 20 years later in 2011. I still remember one of their last shows, in 2008 at the Party-San Open Air, where they played with their buddies GRAVEand UNLEASHED - only ENTOMBED was missing to complete the Big Four of Stockholm Death Metal. And it was a pleasure to see them again on their first reunion show in 2019 at the Scandinavian Death Fest in their hometown. Only a few seconds in it was clear that they were back in full force. Welcome back!"

About DISMEMBER:

Between 1988 and 2011 DISMEMBER earned a notorious reputation as the “Motörhead (version) of death metal”, through eight classic albums and furious live shows around the globe. The band was formed by Robert Sennebäck, David Blomqvist, and Fred Estby in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1988 and has long since been regarded as one of the originators of the trademark Swedish death metal sound, next to other pioneering bands such as ENTOMBED, GRAVE and UNLEASHED. DISMEMBER recorded a few self-released demos before their 1990 demo cassette, Reborn In Blasphemy, with Matti Kärki on vocals and ENTOMBED's Nicke Andersson taking over most lead guitar parts, got picked up for a wider release by NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS. In 1991, their first full-length, Like An Everflowing Stream (Nuclear Blast Records), saw the light of day, which was recorded by Thomas Skogsberg at the now legendary Sunlight Studios, and featured Richard Cabeza (UNANIMATED) on bass. DISMEMBER released their acclaimed sophomore album, Indecent & Obscene, in 1993, which to this day remains their most successful output. Three more albums would follow on NUCLEAR BLAST, Massive Kiling Capacity (1995), Death Metal (1997), and Hate Campaign (2000), until the band decided to switch labels. They released two more albums, Where Ironcrosses Grow (2004, Karmageddon Records) and The God That Never Was (2005, Regain) before Fred Estby announced his departure for family reasons in 2007. Their last album, Dismember, followed in 2008 and the band officially broke up in 2011. After an eight-year hiatus, the band's original line-up reunited for a 30th anniversary gig at Scandinavia Death Fest in October 2019, performing together for the first time in over 20 years.

TABOO ANNOUNCES DEBUT ALBUM

Frontiers Music Srl is proud to announce the upcoming release of new Danish hard rock band Taboo's self-titled debut album on September 9, 2022. Taboo features vocalist Christoffer Stjerne, who also fronts the band H.E.R.O., and guitarist Ken Hammer, who rock fans around the world will recognize as a founding member of the beloved hard rock institution Pretty Maids. Based out of Copenhagen, Denmark, Taboo's songs are stuffed with classic heavy riffing and super melodic hooks with a dose of modernity. A new single and music video, 'Bleeding' is out today. Watch the video below.

He is also a full-time producer, songwriter, and engineer, working with rock and pop artists from around the world.

FIRST-EVER CORE-BASED MUSIC FESTIVAL, KENTUCKY IRATE FEST, SET FOR LATE AUGUST

Although there are many rock festivals held throughout the world during the summer months, the only one to focus solely on core-based music (metalcore, deathcore, slam, beatdown, etc.) will take place from August 26-28 – the Kentucky Irate Fest. Held at the MG Prime Entertainment Complex (7021 Global Drive, in Louisville, Kentucky), each day will feature 25+ bands, including national touring and local bands, with festival capacity being 4,000 people.

Main acts include Russia’s Slaughter to Prevail (first US show since 2019), Norma Jean, Madball, Oceano, Rivers of Nihil, Impending Doom, Traitors, The Browning, Rose Funeral (first show since 2014), Bury Your Dead (rare reunion show), Cane Hill, Palisades, Tallah, Evergreen Terrace, Jason Paige (singing his Pokemon songs he created) with local legends Belushi Speedball, The Last Ten Seconds of Life, Kaonashi, and Sea of Treachery (first show in 3 years), Costa Rica’s Savage Existence, and Australia’s Earth Caller featuring Misstiq (first US show).

Festival doors will open at 11 AM , show at 12:00/noon each day, and the show will go until 11:30 each evening.

Additionally, there will be several merch vendors on site, and 6 food trucks which will serve tacos, pizza, sushi/hibachi, hot dogs, hamburgers, and lemonade/desserts. Vegetarian option truck will also be available.

Ticketing options include Single Day-$60.00 per day, GA- $150.00 for full weekend pass, VIP-$250.00, 4 pack ticket options available at discounted rate: 4 single day tickets for $180.00 or 4 weekend pass tickets for $450.00 (buy 3, get 1 free).

On-site parking will be available for $10.00, and while there will be no camping, there are 28 hotels within a 10 minute drive of the festival grounds.

Tickets can be ordered online and a complete list of the artists performing can be viewed via www.iratefest.com/tickets.

“I am extremely proud of this festival,” says its CEO and founder, Joseph Borland. “Being a metal fan, and specifically of these genres, I am happy to really show people how awesome these sub genres can be. I think we have a special opportunity to create a unique experience for everyone involved. I think Irate Fest being global is an option for years down the road, and this being our inaugural year, I think people should be excited to experience something in its actual first year.”

"What sets us apart is the amount of heavy sub genres. Sub genres like Deathcore, metalcore, slam, and beatdown that you generally do not see in most festivals. We also have 25 bands per day, which is a lot for two stages. We have a thorough plan with no overlapping sets so the fans can have the best experience and not have to choose which stage to be at a specific time."

“Our plan for 2023 and beyond is to expand into multiple cities with the same bands, almost like what Mayhem Festival and Warped Tour did. Being able to have this exact style show on the west coast and east coast, as well as the Midwest, is what we want to bring to our fans."

Bring your dancing shoes and some band aids, because Irate Fest will be the heaviest festival of the year!

ABOUT POWERWOLF:

The story of POWERWOLF, beginning in 2004, reads like a true fairytale, but is the result of the most hard-working and entertaining live band on the heavy metal planet. POWERWOLF has not only received plenty of Gold and Platinum awards to date, but numerous releases have entered the official German album charts at the top position of #1. With Blessed & Possessed (2015), POWERWOLF achieved Gold status (in the Czech Republic) for the first time, while its predecessor, Preachers Of The Night (2013), hit the official German album charts at #1, and the incredible DVD, The Metal Mass(2016), came in at #1 of the German DVD-Charts. POWERWOLF's holy mass in the name of heavy metal is unstoppable – their latest magnum opus, The Sacrament of Sin (2018), again entered the album charts at #1. The accompanying, almost completely sold out Wolfsnächte headline tour – in which POWERWOLF headlined large venues with their phenomenal stage performances – became a single major triumph, as well as the numerous summer festival shows in which crowds were thrilled and completely captivated by the wolves and their unique, (un)holy metal mass. At the end of 2021, POWERWOLF

celebrated The Monumental Mass – a streaming event that set new standards. With the new studio album, Call Of The Wild, and the upcoming tour charging through the largest halls in Europe, the whole world is completely under the sign of the wolf pack once again!

POWERWOLF are:

Attila Dorn – vocals

Falk Maria Schlegel – organ

Charles Greywolf – guitar

Matthew Greywolf – guitar

Roel van Helden – drums

Madame Mayhem Releases New Single "Inside Out" to all major platforms!

"Inside Out" can be streamed/downloaded here:

https://onerpm.link/InsideOut

Madame Mayhem has released her new single "Inside Out” to all digital platforms and radio.

The Manhattan born singer/songwriter and burgeoning rock icon-in-the-making has weaponized the darkness, turning it into a rallying cry for all who were ever cast aside. Songs like “Broken,” “War You Started,” “So Wrong,” “Breaking Down,” “Cruel Heart,” and “I Am More” are equal parts timeless sentiment, bare knuckle fury, and energized urgency.

As is the new single “Inside Out” - written by Madame Mayhem and Keith Wallen. It was produced by Johnny K (Disturbed, Megadeth, Sevendust, Finger Eleven). Lead vocals is Madame Mayhem with Keith on guitars and Jason "JBomb" Harrison on drums. Madame Mayhem’s songs rival the best of Modern Rock, early ‘90s emotive-grunge, and nü-metal angst.

Her thoughts on the song - "'Inside Out' is about standing up for yourself after being pushed around by that person in your life that lives for playing games and finally gets a dose of their own medicine."

Teaming up to write with Keith Wallen again was so much fun and Johnny K producing it really helped bring the song to life.

She adds, "Although I'm currently working on new music, I felt strongly about releasing 'Inside Out' now because this song keeps calling back to me. I can't get it out of my head and wanted to finally put it out in the world!”

Earlier this year, “I Am More” hit the Top 40 on the Mediabase, BDS Billboard and BDS Indicator charts. Also Top 20 on The Foundations chart.

She has also shared stages with Sevendust, Memphis May Fire, Fozzy, Nonpoint and Doro and recently wrapped the 2 month Living Like I’m Dead US tour. This summer Madame Mayhem will be playing the main stages for The Mid-Summer Music Festival and KFML’s End of Summer Festival, both in Minnesota.

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

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

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

She’s shared stages with Sevendust, Memphis May Fire, Fozzy, Nonpoint and Doro. Across three exceedingly well-received albums – Ready for Me (2017), Now You Know (2015), and White Noise (2012) – Madame Mayhem worked with Russ “Satchel” Parrish (Steel Panther), Corey Lowery (Seether), Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (ex-Guns N’ Roses), and Troy McLawhorn (Evanescence) to name just a few. Her 2019 single “Broken” was co-written with Keith Wallen (Breaking Benjamin) and features her longtime friends and collaborators Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, Winery Dogs, Sons of Apollo) and Ray Luzier (Korn). “Breaking Down”, which Madame Mayhem co-wrote with Brian Vodinh (10 Years) and also produced by Johnny K, was released in 2020. She once again collaborated with Keith Wallen for the February 2021 single release of “Cruel Heart”. This song was produced and arranged by Johnny K (Disturbed, Megadeth, Sevendust, Finger Eleven). The current release, "I Am More" (2022) got rave reviews at Rock Radio. Written By Madame Mayhem and Keith Wallen, produced by Johnny K and includes Keith on guitar, Billy Sheehan on bass and Jason “JBomb” Harrison on the drums.

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

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

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

Kimberly Kelly Releases Debut Album "I'll Tell You What's Gonna Happen"

SINGER SONGWRITER KIMBERLY KELLY
RELEASES SHOW DOG NASHVILLE LABEL DEBUT,
I’LL TELL YOU WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN

Listen HERE

The 12-Song Project Already Receiving Praise from Critics and Peers

“Kimberly Kelly Shows Her Country Music Reverence On Debut Album” - MusicRow

“… delivers power and emotion on this fun but often poignant collection.” - Radney Foster

Kelly Set for Songwriter Session at Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum
July 23 at Noon CT

A native of Lorena, Texas, singer/songwriter Kimberly Kelly has spent years in both the Texas and Nashville music scenes earning an education through experiences that have made her both fearless in her approach to creating and unafraid to defy convention when it comes to industry expectations. Those years of hard work, all while also earning a Master’s degree and working fulltime, culminate today with the release of her label debut I'll Tell You What's Gonna Happen via Toby Keith’s Show Dog Nashville in partnership with Thirty Tigers. Listen HERE.

“I’m feeling a mix of emotions with the release,” Kelly shares. “I feel like I’m letting go of the ace in my pocket, yet at the same time so proud to share this batch of songs that I believe in!”

Fans can also catch Kelly at the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum on Saturday, July 23, at noon CT for a Songwriter Session along with album producer Brett Tyler and one of the songwriters featured on the album, Bobby Tomberlin.
 
Off stage, Kelly possesses an inviting warmth mixed with sly self-deprecation, a winsome combo only earned with some life experience, self-awareness and nothing to prove on stage just the goods to stop a listener in their tracks. "This is not my first rodeo," Kelly adds of her label debut. "I worked really hard in Texas before I came to Nashville. I wrote songs, put out records, did a radio tour, and played every weekend while going to school and working full-time.”

The album is already earning kudos including praise from iconic singer/songwriter and fellow Texan, Radney Foster, who shares, “If you like your Country music with fiddles and steel guitars, melodies that soar and a singer who unapologetically sings with a twang, you will love Kimberly Kelly. She’s a great songwriter and her timeless voice delivers power and emotion on this fun but often poignant collection. Don’t try to drive while you’re listening to ‘Person That You Marry.’ Don’t ask me how I know.”
 
Produced by Brett Tyler, Kelly’s husband and a hit songwriter himself with No. 1s like “Cold Beer Calling My Name” under his belt, the album’s title is a clever nod to her friend and fellow Texas musician, the late Country Music Hall of Famer, Billy Joe Shaver. 

The abbreviated quote comes from the better-than-fiction-true story of Shaver forcing his way into a Waylon Jennings recording session after the star tried to renege on listening to some of his songs. Brushing off a $100 bill to go away, Shaver said to Jennings, "I'll tell you what's gonna happen. You're gonna either listen to these songs or I'm gonna whip your ass." Waylon agreed to listen to one. The rest is history in the form of Jennings' 1973 Honky Tonk Heroes album, on which every song but one was written by Shaver. 
 
“I landed on this album title on a dare," Kelly says mischievously. "I was like, 'Sure. What do I care?' I did the Texas music scene, I’ve done time in Nashville, and I thought my time had passed when I got offered my record deal. My husband could keep writing songs and I'd just be a speech therapist. So, I made this album like it's the last one I'll ever get to make and the title is my mantra so to speak. I love good songs, and I let the best ones win whether I wrote them or not. It’s a compilation I’m proud of.”
 
The album’s release follows nostalgic song-of-summer ready track, “Summers Like That” which left Billboardpraising Kelly’s “warm, lifting voice,” “Blue Jean Country Queen” featuring Steve Wariner as well as Kelly’s take on Shaver’s “Black Rose,” which closes out an album that unintentionally became a tribute to the late country music legend.

“Billy Joe was such an important part of my journey into music, and since we used his quote as the title of the album, it just seemed like we should end with one of his songs,” Kelly adds. “We listened to his entire catalog and just couldn’t decide what to cut. We landed on this one thinking we could tell it from Billy Joe's point of view. He was strong in his faith, but also an outlaw. ‘The second time I done it on my own.’ I can relate to that line. Sometimes you do something again just because you want to.”

Kelly continues, “We put the voicemail he left me on the end of the track to bring it all the way around. When we started recording, I didn't set out to make a tribute record to Billy Joe, but I love how this whole project came out and I will always love him.”
 
Kelly also recently released a video for “Summers.” Directed by Tyler Barksdale, the video brings the song to life…capturing what young love looks like. Watch HERE.

She also got to perform "Holy Roller" with Spiritbox at their sold-out show in London, UK last month. Now she has released her debut, original single written and produced with the help of Chris Wiseman(Shadow of Intent and Currents) and Ben Lumber (Acres). Speaking on the release of her first ever single, HARPERshares

"Falling was written shortly after my cover of Holy Roller. This was the first creative process and song writing process I’ve been a part of so it was super fun to create something I can call my own.

Spiritbox became my favourite band as soon as I heard them and they've shown nothing but love and support for me since day one, they really are some of the kindest humans I’ve ever met! Getting to perform with them in London was a dream come true and a memory I will cherish and be forever grateful for.

I am so excited to be working with Pale Chord for my debut single the label have been nothing short of amazing to me and I’m excited to make some magic with them!"

ABOUT HARPER

Being a musician at 10 years old is no easy feat, but only one year into her music career HARPER has already turned heads and made waves within the rock and metal music scene. Having first burst onto the scene in 2021 with her own rendition of ‘Holy Roller’ by Spiritbox, the cover put all eyes on Harper gaining 222,000+ views and approval from the band themselves. HARPER's video was shared worldwide garnering support from major media and fans alike.

Continuing to develop her craft HARPER found guidance from one of the most prominent vocal coaches in the metal scene Melissa Cross, working closely with her to develop and keep her voice healthy whilst working on her own material. For this she recruited Chris Wiseman of the bands Currents and Shadow of Intent and Ben Lumber of Acres to help write and produce her music.

In May 2022 HARPER flew to Los Angeles for her first live performance in front of celebrity judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara on Americas Got Talent season 17. Singing to a 4000 strong sold out theatre in Pasadena, receiving approval from all 4 judges this truly made a statement for heavy music and proved she can hold her own.

SET THE SUN Release Debut EP 'In Absentia' - Drop Music Video for New Single "The Way Back" (feat. TELLE & DJ Lethal)

SET THE SUN invites fans to experience the enigmatic duo's debut EP, In Absentia, which is out now on all major streaming platforms. Featuring previous singles "Invisible"and "New Condition", the band's first foray into modern alt-rock modalities is made possible through their frequent collaboration with a growing group of highly lauded fellow artists, who they refer to as "The Collective". This group includes names like Ryan Clark(Demon Hunter) & Michael Lessard (The Contortionist), who, respectively, contributed vocals on the previously mentioned tracks. The likes of Clint Lowery (Sevendust) and Keith Wallen (Breaking Benjamin) also lend their hand to composing tracks on the new EP. The artwork for 'In Absentia' was created by Ryan Clark of Demon Hunter.

Along with the release of 'In Absentia', SET THE SUN have unveiled their new single, "The Way Back", which features guest performances from TELLE (The Word Alive) & DJ Lethal (Limp Bizkit). The band has partnered with KNOTFEST to premiere the music video, which was directed by J.T. Ibanez.

Speaking about the new single, the band comments:

"The Way Back was written about the feeling that you've lost yourself - whether that's your passion, your confidence, or your reason to keep fighting, and remembering how life used to feel. The older you get, the more life throws at you and the more scars you accumulate,

and that can lead to feeling like a shadow of yourself. Sometimes you wish you could go back to a different version of yourself."

Going into details on how the song came to be, they add, "After we wrote most of the music, we decided to finish writing the song with Keith Wallen. And since the main riff gave us a Wes Borland vibe, we thought it would be cool to hear what DJ Lethal would do over top of it, so we hit him up; he experimented over a bunch of the track and then we picked our favorite bits and it sounds awesome & almost electronic. We were also able to get Producer/Composer Matt Lange to contribute to the production of the song. Finally, we wanted to have edgier vocals for the bridge, and we've always loved TELLE's voice & his screams, so we were delighted when we found out he had time to track it. And he absolutely nailed it and took things to the next level."

In addition to the standard release of In Absentia, a remix version of the EP will be released on August 12, 2022. Check out the previously released "Invisible" (ASTR0L4B3 R3M1X).

About SET THE SUN:

Alt-Rock outfit SET THE SUN are ready to unleash their debut EP after making their presence known last year. Comprised of two primary contributors, Arc & Eris, the American-Canadian duo will release the five-track offering, 'In Absentia', on July 8th, 2022. The record features the singles "Invisible" (feat. Ryan Clark) and "New Condition" (feat. Michael Lessard), along with the next lead single, "The Way Back" (feat. Telle & DJ Lethal).

"This EP was a bit of an unplanned detour," the band shares. "We had just finished recording our debut LP and COVID hit. Both of us were going through some difficult personal situations, so it felt natural to keep writing. We wanted to dive into those feelings of isolation, division, and immovable conflict. There's nothing more crippling than sources of pain we can't change or remedy. Futility is not a pretty thing."

Throughout their debut, STS enlists the contributions of numerous guest performers and collaborators. This group of peers, which the band calls "The Collective", has allowed the band to create songs that aren't confined to the boundaries of genre norms - and instead venture into a sprawling range of soundscapes and ideas.

"The demos for the first five songs came together very quickly, even though we wrote them remotely between Nashville and Toronto. Then we reached out to some members of The Collective - musicians we've long admired and respected who we knew could add a little something extra."

"We worked with composer/producer Matt Lange and Breaking Benjamin guitarist & vocalist Keith Wallen on 'The Way Back', and Clint Lowery from Sevendust on 'New Condition'. We then reached out to Ryan from Demon Hunter, TELLE from the Word Alive, Dj Lethal from Limp Bizkit, Michael Lessard from The Contortionist, and Thomas Freckleton from Silent Planet to feature on the tracks. They all added their own touch and it gave each song its own unique feel, so we're delighted with how it all turned out. There's a good mix of sadness, aggression, and eeriness that we feel will be a good introduction to Set the Sun. And there's much more to come."

In addition to the standard release, a remix version of 'In Absentia' will be released on August 12th.

LA-based Grammy-winning producer Rich Jacques releases debut EP 'Everything Must Change'

"Singer/songwriter Rich Jacques' earnest and atmospheric compositions echo those of pop giants like Neil Finn, Michael Penn, and Ron Sexsmith" ~ AllMusic

"Ethereal yet grounded, this song ranks up there with the best tracks of 2022 thus far, not surprising given that Rich Jacques has mastered the songwriting craft so well, his compositions attesting to this fact time and again" ~ The Spill Magazine

"Rich’s smooth vocals and detailed imagery create an escape from real life" ~ Music Injection

"Meditative, engaging, and cinematic with a focus on intimate vocals set against a lush soundscape... soft-spoken folk pop" ~ Chillfiltr

"Takes you to a parallel dreamy world - powerful, heartwarming and soulful" ~ Sweet + Sour

LA-based singer-songwriter and Grammy-winning producer Rich Jacques has released his debut EP 'Everything Must Change', a 6-track collection that takes the listener through his soothing sonic world. Wonderfully beguiling, this music is uplifting amidst dark times as politics, environmental concerns and Covid-related concerned have significantly weighed on everyone’s minds.

He also revealed the video for the title track 'Everything Must Change'. Instantly accessible, this feels like an intimate conversation with an old friend. At the song’s heart is a sense of life-affirming gratitude and a wave of sonic love and appreciation.

The EP exhibits gentle majesty and lyrical poignancy; six new soundscapes to explore, making for one beautiful collection of music. Previously, Rich Jacques released the gorgeous and gentle tracks 'Montecito', 'Can You See it', and 'New Design'. This music is warm and honest in its understated charm.

Underlining the restraint from which Jacques fashions his deft and delicate music, the message here is clear as you journey through the music. Change is the only constant.

“This EP was mostly written and produced from 2020 to late 2021 right in the heart of the pandemic. A lot changed for myself, as it did for mostly everyone. It gave me a new perspective on what I was doing out of habit, and what really inspired me. The one thing that’s ultimately true in life is change. Whatever is happening, good or bad, it’s going to move on," says Rich Jacques.

The solitude of lockdown led him to reflect on his life, realizing that many of the fundamental choices he's made have been based on old habits. A health scare, a change of location and the chance to build his life anew and re-engage with the world, drop old habits and explore new inspirations saw him emerge from this period of his life a changed man. This new EP is the musical document of that period.

Producer, songwriter, guitarist and artist - Rich's envious set of skills has led him to work with a host of notable musicians and to create music for all manner of media projects. Since moving to LA twenty years ago, he's worked with such luminaries as Lisa Loeb, for which he won a Grammy in 2017, and Men at Work’s Colin Hay, his music also being featured in such iconic shows as 'Grey’s Anatomy', 'One Tree Hill' and 'The Vampire Diaries'.

Jacques cut his teeth in the late '90s as a member of Sire Records' alternative rock outfit Brownie Mary and was later a member of 80’s infused alt-pop band Right The Stars, who released three critically and commercially well-received albums. He is also one-half of the songwriting/production team Aalta.

This project as a solo artist comes from a very personal place. Unexpectedly, for someone who understands the art of big, instantaneous and infectious music, Jacques uses only a few core components (guitar and vocals) and few additional musical details to create wonderfully emotive, spacious and drifting music.

As of July 8, the 'Everything Must Change' EP will be released via Cousteau Records and available digitally across the net, including Apple Music and Spotify.

Keep up with Rich Jacques

About GWAR

The story of GWAR is carved across the history of this hopeless planet, but GWARthemselves are not of this world…Their story begins far past Uranus, in the deepest reaches of space, where the beings known as GWAR were warriors in the Scumdogs of the Universe, an elite fighting force in the army of the Master of All Reality. But GWARproved too reckless and powerful, and after a series of tragic but hilarious blunders, they were banished to the furthest reaches of the galaxy, with orders to conquer an insignificant backwater prehistoric mudball known as the planet Earth. Once here, GWAR, the original Ancient Aliens, shaped the face of the globe, wiping out the dinosaurs, and mating with apes to create the human race. Having accidentally given rise to all human history, the Master of All Reality froze them in Antarctic ice where they could do no more harm. It was there they were discovered by a shady entrepreneur known as Sleazy P Martini, who sat the band down in front of professional wrestling, late-night horror movies, heavy metal music, and a steady diet of crack cocaine until GWAR became the cultural force they are today!
