Stone Broken Issue Digital Deluxe Version of "Revelation" + Share "Stronger" Video

February 10, 2023

STONE BROKEN RELEASE DIGITAL DELUXE EXPANDED EDITION OF LATEST STUDIO ALBUM REVELATION TODAY, FEBRUARY 10

Stone Broken decided to make everything bigger and bolder for studio album three, Revelation, which was released via Spinefarm in April of last year.

Now, this Midlands quartet has opted to go bigger still!

Today, February 10, the band is releasing an expanded digital version of Revelation, complete with revised cover artwork plus seven extra tracks. These new additions — a combination of covers, acoustic versions and live in the studio recordings — take the overall number of songs to 18. Get it here.

The band has also just dropped the video for "Stronger." Watch it below.

"This is the sound of one of the UK's brighter prospects looking to the wider world and dreaming big" is how Classic Rock described the original version of Revelation, produced by Dan Weller (Enter Shikari, Bury Tomorrow) and mixed by Clint Murphy (The Hunna, Enter Shikari). The extra recordings, meanwhile, were worked on by the musicians themselves — the addition of the Miley Cyrus cover reflecting the breadth of their collective musical taste.

"We are pleased to bring the Revelation experience to a whole new level with the digital release of the expanded version," says frontman Rich Moss. "We spent a lot of time crafting the album, but also created alternative 're-imagined' versions of some of the songs, which we are just as proud of. We also got to show our appreciation of other artists with our interpretations of their work, one of which is a cover of 'Crawling' by Linkin Park; that band had a massive impact on me growing up, so it seemed right to pay tribute to Chester [Bennington]. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it."

Ballerinas, post-punk deep diving and sonic discipline: Candy Coffins present 'Tangled Up in Teacups'

February 9, 2023

"Lush instrumentation and sombre storytelling. Their gothic post-punk vortex engulfs you. Poignant vocal melodies swoon amongst soft guitars and expansive synths to craft a song that will continue wandering the sonic corridors of your mind" ~ The Record Stache

"A passionately powerful collection that, while steeped in pop nostalgia, is loaded with resonant melodies and an overall denser shimmer...channels the best from 1980s music in modern compositions that are entirely appealing for the here and now" ~ The Spill Magazine

"The band at their considerable best, walking a fine-tuned line between darkness and the silver-lining of new romanticism. Haunting with loads of energy... nervous, edgy vocal delivery" ~ Amplify Music Magazine

"An enthralling and fascinating listen with their sonic imagery, emotional turbulence and new romantic underpinnings" ~ Skylight Webzine

Post-punk new romantics Candy Coffins present 'Tangled Up In Teacups', a superb single showcasing the third act crescendo of a relationship in a tailspin - the detachment, the anger, the self-absorption, the exhaustion. It is a waltz of protection via insulating flippancy and a voice that reveals one’s entire arc of emotions.

The accompanying video, which juxtaposes a pensive and inaccessible Jame Lathren with stunning ballet dancers Mira Lathren and Bella Leone in an urban landscape, was produced and directed by The Pierson Collective.

This song can be found on the band's new album 'Once Do It With Feeling', a 10-track collection considered to be their best work to date. With Cure-esque textures and melody, as well as thematic elements and the visceral delivery of The Afghan Whigs, this record showcases solid songwriting, an approach and delivery that is confident and cohesive, as well as emotional and sonic saturation.

"The full album chronicles a relationship from the onset of the first crack to its complete crumbling dissolution. All the feelings and emotions of tumult are captured here, from both persons’ perspectives," says frontman-songwriter Jame Lathren.

Earlier, the band released two singles - 'Every Day A Fresh Atrocity', exploring the dark corners and haunting suffocation of a broken relationship, and 'Seaside Girls', paying tribute to the playful abandon of youth with a healthy dose of indierock.

Vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Jame Lathren formed Candy Coffins in 2018 in Columbia, South Carolina. A cultural outcast, his resilience, sensitivity and hyper-awareness of his emotional state would ultimately permeate his own music, getting right to the heart of the emotions surrounding the human condition.

After disbanding his previous band Crown The Cake, he formed Candy Coffins with hometown guitar legend Tom Alewine (Bachelors of Art), followed by seasoned music scene veterans Alex Mabrey on bass and Justin Purdy on keys, and former Iron & Wine touring drummer Jonathan Bradley. With dynamic and textured approach, the band's trademark lush sound bolsters Lathren’s emotive songwriting and delivery.

With tasteful nods to Joy Division, The Cure, The Psychedelic Furs, The Afghan Whigs and The Cult, as well as contemporaries like The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Spiritualized, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Interpol, Candy Coffins’ sound is dark and emotionally restless, but with elements of hope and elation. Defiantly unique, their sound is a welcome respite from musical mediocrity.

The 'Once Do It With Feeling' LP is out now and is available everywhere digitally, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp, where it can be ordered directly from the artist.

The Yets - Letter To A Boy- Self-titled debut EP is out now via Royal Terns Records

February 9, 2023

"An exquisite sonic document that manages to make life's various events, including disappointments and tragedy, sound heavenly, gently gliding through this series of compositions" ~ Amplify Music Magazine

"An almost perfect union between prime Cocteau Twins and prime mid-seventies (or any period) L.A. version of Fleetwood Mac, with Wilson’s vocals and Snook’s guitars at the forefront" ~ Rock At Night Magazine

"Steeped in the tropes of quintessential vintage alternative pop... With a broad pallet of tuneful wistfulness and textured, layered instrumentation, coupled with some smart and sensitive production, The Yets have landed with a seriously accomplished debut" ~ Aural Aggravation

What better way to announce the new year than with a letter? South Carolina-based alternative pop duo The Yets are doing just that with their new video for 'Letter To A Boy'. This is the latest offering from their self-titled EP, a six-track debut offering indie pop sensation and sonic temptation with a fresh, but seemingly familiar, adult alternative vibe.

Haunting, dynamic and smooth, they transform the classic to contemporary, counting Roxy Music, David Bowie, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cult, Cocteau Twins, Pink Floyd and even Soundgarden among their musical influences.

The Yets is the creative union of Robin Wilson on vocals and guitarist-producer Craig Anderson Snook, who met when Robin returned to her home state after some years in Georgia. Earlier, the duo released two audio-visual offerings for the singles 'Remember' and 'Lesser Evil'.

“Somewhere at the intersection of sound and emotion lies the description of those things we all treasure the most, 'Letter To A Boy' is about that special feeling a mother has for her son. It’s unique and difficult to express. It's extremely hard to put so much feeling into so few words. Lyrically, it’s the most challenging I’ve ever done. It’s also the most rewarding,” says Robin Wilson.

Based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, their music combines elements of ethereal pop and popular rock classics with a sound embracing Fleetwood Mac and Cocteau Twins in equal measure. Breeding and bearing a distinct Americana lining, this EP is an emotively cast and atmospherically delightful proposition.

"In a very general sense, this album is about life: the passage of time, relationships and the consequences of the choices we make along the way. I’ve always wanted to bare my musical soul, but never had the right vehicle. That musical soul has always wanted to speak to the world, but never had the right voice. The Yets is that vehicle and Robin is that voice,” says Craig Anderson Snook, who has performed semi-professionally since he was 13. His musical passion led him beyond cover bands into composition, arrangement, audio engineering, production and ultimately to running his own Royal Terns Records label and studio, where he recorded, mixed and produced the new EP.

After being immersed in the music scene while in high school, Robin found her way to the University of South Carolina in Columbia, where she fronted the goth-rock band Bachelors of Art (B.O.A.). Upon relocating to Atlanta, Georgia, she fronted the female alt-rock group Skirt, touring the USA extensively and supporting numerous high profile acts.

“My previous musical endeavors were always hard rock-based. I wasn’t involved with the actual songwriting, except for my vocal melodies and lyrics. With The Yets, I’ve broken that mold, helping to compose and produce a whole new sound. I’ve combined my artwork and media arts degree into the whole creative package. We recorded and produced our own CD in our own studio. We created our own videos and designed and built our own website," says Robin Wilson.

'The Yets' EP is out now, streamable via Spotify and available to order, digitally or on CD, directly from the band via Bandcamp.

North Carolina's The Mystery Plan presents grooving indie pop 'What A Day' EP

February 9, 2023

"Pure sensual dreamtronica awash in haunting melodies. It's guaranteed to set the serotonin flowing in the farthest recesses of any late night minds" – Guitar Magazine

"A delicious smorgasbord for varied tastes - from chill out to dark dreamery and even massively beautiful modern classical music with a near-mystifying delivery" – The Big Takeover Magazine

"A chilled, dreamy, hypnotic sound... and the Beth Gibbons-esque vocals of Amy Herring" – Overblown Magazine

"Beguiling... immerses the listener in a dream world of suggestion and fantasy, a melodic landscape of wonder, but an encounter equally evocative of the real world we all embrace" ~ Ringmaster Review

Indie pop outfit The Mystery Plan are back with their 'What A Day' EP, a scrumptious dose of bliss-pop released via American boutique label 10mm Omega Recordings. This boisterous three-track offering highlights the lead track from the band's forthcoming 'Haunted Organic Machines' record - their seventh full length album and 13th major release.

A staple on the North Carolina music scene, the Charlotte-based collective started back in 2010 as a duo with Jason Herring and Paul Jensen (Fetchin' Bones / the Interstellars) writing and producing everything. Jason's wife, Amy Herring, then joined and, several years later, the line-up was rounded out with Otis Hughes, Patty McLaughlin Thomas and Jefferson Chester.

"When we were starting to come out of the pandemic we wanted to do something fun and groovy, and what happened was 'What A Day (Disco)'. The rest of the album just fell into place after that," says Jason Herring.

Produced and mixed by Jason Herring and Rob Tavaglione, 'Haunted Organic Machines' finds the band exploring new, but familiar territory from spacey dance grooves, to spooky, moody dream pop and everything that goes with it.

This album follows a steady stream of releases from the quintet, the latest of which involved the legendary John Fryer (This Mortal Coil, Black Needle Noise), known for producing seminal releases by Love and Rockets, Dead Can Dance, Nine Inch Nails, Swans, Clan of Xymox, Yaz (Yazoo), Xmal Deutschland and Stabbing Westward, among others. This fruitful collaboration shaped The Mystery Plan albums 'Queensland Ballroom', 'Zsa Zsa' and 'You Also Have Eyes', not to mention the creation of an epic remix on the 'Thought Bubbles' record.

As of February 10, the 'What A Day' EP will be available digitally, including Bandcamp, Spotify and Apple Music. The full ''Haunted Organic Machines' album will be released, both digitally and on CD, on March 31.

About:
Swedish heavy metal band ENFORCER was formed in 2005 by lead vocalist and guitarist Olof Wikstrand. The first two albums Into The Night (2008) and Diamonds (2010) established the band’s loyal fanbase and left a long-lasting imprint in the heavy metal world. With increasing success in the underground scene, ENFORCER led and created a worldwide movement later referred to as ‘the new wave of traditional heavy metal’. In 2012 the Swedes were recognized for their impressive musical repertoire and signed a worldwide record deal with the biggest metal label in the world, Nuclear Blast Records. Since then, the band have released three more studio albums with Death by Fire (2013), From Beyond (2015), and Zenith (2019). To date, ENFORCER have toured the world over, playing the biggest festivals and garnering a global fanbase. The culmination of their tireless work ethic resulting in the release of two live albums, Live By Fire (2015) and Live By Fire II (2021). ENFORCER have proved themselves both live and on record, and in 2023 they stake their place amongst the world’s most renowned heavy metal bands.

alt. Share "THE GREAT DEPRESSION" Video — WATCH

February 9, 2023

A pulsating, razor-sharp slice of alternative rock, the brand new single "THE GREAT DEPRESSION" from heavy-hitters alt. is by far their most expansive sonic outing yet.

Watch the video, which capture both the track's emphatic themes and the group's searing live energy, below.

Laden with electronic hues, glossy grit and shimmering darkness, "THE GREAT DEPRESSION" marks the first new music from the Adelaide group since unleashing the commanding track "WRAITH" in 2022, alongside the news of the group signing with Resist Records in Australia, and SharpTone Recordsfor the rest of the world.

"'THE GREAT DEPRESSION' is about the ever-growing cases of anxiety and depression in the world," shares alt. vocalist Daniel Cullen-Richards of the group's latest release. "Social media and the pandemic are playing huge rolls in the decline of mental health everywhere. Some people are looking to death to end the suffering in the war against our own mind."

Produced, mixed, and mastered by Callan Orr at Avalanche Studios, "THE GREAT DEPRESSION" is a scintillating step into 2023 for alt., showcasing their depth and technical breadth in equal measure. And fans can expect to witness this brand new single live in action this Autumn, with alt. set to join American rockers Saosin on their Australian tour this March, visiting some of Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth's most iconic venues.

Following the release of their 2020 EP dysfunctional, with critics praising the band's versatility, instrumentation, energy and sparkling production, alt. have spent years honing their signature brand of punk, pop, electronic and alternative rock since first erupting onto the scene back in 2019.

The band dropped their latest album Consume/Deny/Repent last year on Closed Casket Activities.

*No Ringworm or Brat
**No Brat
&No Ringworm

ABOUT NO/MAS:
The band dispenses a face-ripping combination of grindcore, metal, death, and thrash that would cut deep a decade ago or a decade from now. The Washington, D.C. group — Roger Rivadeneira [vocals], John Letzkus [guitar], Patrick Merson [bass], and Henry Everitt [drums, vocals] — engage an uncompromising sensory assault, barreling forward like a runaway freight train only bolted to the rails by deft riffing, explosive drumming, and vocal brutality.

After racking up thousands of streams and receiving acclaim from Decibel, Metal Injection, and more, the band perfect this approach on their Closed Casket Activities debut, Consume/Deny/Repent.

"We wanted to make a record that was really riff-heavy and catchy," states John. "It has more old school influences, but it’s also modern at the same time."

"Thematically, we had specific things in mind, but the pandemic literally changed the world," adds Roger. "It went from being a more conceptualized album to music that references what we were going through. That's one thing we all agreed on."

Under the influence of everything from Slayer and Napalm Death to Wormrot, NO/MAS materialized in Washington, D.C. They made waves with their 2018 full-length debut, Raíz Del Mal, which Metal Injection christened “one of the most intense releases of the year.” Meanwhile, Decibel added, "Every song on their latest album, Raíz Del Mal, is a nice little rollercoaster that tends to make its twists and turns around grind, black metal, D-beat and hardcore." In between dropping the Last Laugh EP in 2019, they graced bills with the likes of Exodus, Pig Destroyer, and many more.

Working with producer Taylor Young in Los Angeles, they sharpened this approach to knifepoint precision.

"When we first started NO/MAS, I came up with a mantra for what the band is about," the singer states. "We are against all forms of injustice. We want to bring awareness to mental health and the separation of church and state." In the end, NO/MAS remain inimitable in their beatdown.

Starbenders Drop New Single + Music Video "The Game" via Sumerian Records

February 9, 2023

Atlanta rock n' rollers Starbenders have today released their latest offering "The Game" and the accompanying lyric video (out via Sumerian Records). Speaking on today's drop, the band shares:

"We wrote "The Game" to inspire those who are feeling low on luck and overlooked by a world that's often unforgiving. A battle cry for the downtrodden underdogs. We cooked up a sound to summon the feeling of self-generated power guided by Gods, angels, and ghosts. You can torch all obstacles and silence the doubters once and for all with a little bit of faith. It's all in the way you play The Game."

Stream "The Game" here, watch the lyric video below, and stay tuned for more Starbenders news coming soon.

Hailing from Atlanta, GA, Starbenders has dropped their hotly-anticipated new release "The Game" via Sumerian Records off the heels of 2020’s Love Potion studio album and serving as the follow-up to 2019’s Japanese Rooms EP. These are words similar to those which you will read on countless press releases, but there really isn’t anyone else out there doing what Starbenders have been doing since forming in 2014: The intoxicating combination of glam with new wave and new romantic, seduced into this modern era by four thrilling musicians and, in frontwoman Kimi Shelter, one of the most exciting songwriters in contemporary rock & roll.

OAK Streams New Album 'Disintegrate' Ahead of Release

February 9, 2023

Portuguese death doom duo OAK is now streaming their devastating new full-length, 'Disintegrate,' in its entirety ahead of tomorrow's release! The offering can be found below.

Watch the band's music videos for "Disintegrate I" and "Disintegrate II!"

Oak comments, "You had already explored the two craters left by the Giant's feet with the excerpts from 'Disintegrate' that we revealed earlier. Now, you stand before him and you will be crushed by tons of his flesh that will fall on you and soon become dust. The time has finally come."

Pre-sales for 'Disintegrate are now live HERE while the album can be pre-saved on streaming services HERE.

With the birth of their first full-length album ‘Lone’ in 2019, atmospheric death doom duo OAK emerged from Portugal with a slow and steady force, like roots breaking concrete. After four years of slumber, the band has awakened like the old gods, ready to release utter suffering and devastation onto the masses with its sophomore effort, ‘Disintegrate.’ For nearly 45 unforgiving minutes, this mournful maelstrom drags the listener asunder, while tormented growls and agonizing riffs echo deep despair within the atmospheric abyss.

OAK’s path was forged by two kindred musicians; the mysterious pair recognized that they were an unstoppable force together when it came to creating painful, emotionally driven music. “We always wanted it to be a duo because of how fluid our jams have always been and this freedom we get when writing for OAK is really one thing that drives us,” explains the band.

The writing process took place under the cover of darkness, setting an intimate mood for the record’s creation. The pair worked with a totally clean slate, writing everything organically in their sessions together rather than coming with prepared compositions or ideas. As project took shape and began to come into its own identity, it yielded OAK’s agonizing and ferocious sound. “We can have clean guitars, clean vocals, distortion, deep grunts, whispers, slow beats, blast beats, ghost notes and all this glues together nicely,” says OAK of the project’s many textures and layers.

Thematically, ‘Disintegrate’ tells the epic tale of a Titanic Giant who seeks to be unburdened from carrying the weight of the world, demonstrating that even the strongest have a threshold for just how much pain and heaviness they can endure.

However, the story doesn’t end here as this is only the first chapter of the Giant’s tale. “We are continuing our jam sessions and writing more and more. We will grow further with each release in the attempt of making our sound almost visible/cinematic. We need to tell the story of this giant's burden and liberation through our music and lyrics. We feel like there is much more to be told.“

ENTER SHIKARI Share New Single "It Hurts"

February 9, 2023

Enter Shikari are today sharing "It Hurts", the second single to be taken from their highly-anticipated forthcoming album A Kiss For The Whole World, which will be released on 21st April via SO Recordings / Ambush Reality. Listen to "It Hurts" on streaming services here.

"It Hurts" follows January's earth-shaking lead single "(pls) set me on fire". It brings with it a call to switch up our worldview and reassess the ways in which we judge ourselves - all in a flurry of race-to-the-finish-line intensity. Lead vocalist and producer Rou Reynolds explains:

"'It Hurts' came to me in a dream. Literally. Melody, chords, and fully-formulated chorus were all part of a dream that, thankfully, remained with me when I woke up. I was hiding under the duvet at 3AM, singing it into my phone, much to the bewilderment of my girlfriend.

Lyrically, "It Hurts" is about perseverance, and the importance of reframing failure as a fruitful and, in fact, pivotal route to progress. Society teaches us we should avoid and criticise failure, when defeat and honest mistakes can actually present us with insights that light our way forward.

In reality, we should be taught that simply to try makes us more than enough.”

Pre-order A Kiss For The Whole World here. Limited formats of the new album come packaged with the Live From Alexandra Palace 3 album & DVD, recorded live in December 2021 at the band’s sold out 10,000 capacity London show.

Enter Shikari have also previously announced a run of very special album release shows across UK, Europe and the US. Taking place in May this year, the band will be playing 3 very special US show, hitting Los Angeles (5/03), Chicago (5/5) and New York (5/10).

More about Enter Shikari and new album A Kiss For The Whole World

As the calendar now signals three years since Enter Shikari last released an album - their UK #2 charting album Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible – it is useful to think back to the final question the band last posed fans: “Is this a new beginning? / Or are we close to the end?” Little could they know just how close to the end things would end up feeling as the events of the early ‘20s dimmed the light in the furnace of their live juggernaut, and connection to their fans. “At the time it felt like we ourselves, as musicians, were experiencing the death of our band,” says lead vocalist and keyboardist Rou Reynolds.

Unsurprisingly, the key in the band’s ignition came in the form of a live show as they headlined the Download Festival Pilot in front of 10,000 fans. Where not a single new word flowed from the pen of Reynolds in the two years prior, a realisation was born that would come to define the band’s seventh LP: “I just didn’t realise that the human and physical connection to other people were so central to how I write,” he says. Enter Shikari isn’t just four people – it’s hundreds of thousands.

The album's lead single "(pls) set me on fire" sparked the next stage in the band’s evolution, and the first words we hear from Enter Shikari 2.0 don’t come in the form of a question this time, but a command: “Please set me on fire”. In other words, ignite the spark inside us and set us free. This may be a new Enter Shikari but they’ve lost nothing in their flair for bold opening gambits.

Reynolds comments on the single’s conception: "Honestly, I thought I was f*****. I’ve never felt so detached from my soul, my purpose, my f****** spirit. I didn’t write music for almost two years. The longest I’d gone before that was two weeks. I was broken. It’s almost as if my brain had asked: “What is the point in music if it cannot be shared? What is the point in writing music if it’s not to be experienced with others?” and then promptly switched itself off. ‘(pls) set me on fire’ grew out of that desperation. This song is a projectile vomit of positive energy. Every emotion trapped inside me for two years, finally set free."

It was in the Spring of 2022 that the band descended to the coastal town of Chichester, and a delipidated farmhouse, to rebuild their studio setup and capture their renewed momentum on record. Using only solar power to track the album – in what Reynolds says was to “bring back some sense of naivety” – the life-giving properties and Technicolor palate of A Kiss For The Whole World were made real. Reynolds continues: “Back to basics. This band - my best friends - bundled into an old farmhouse, miles away from anywhere. Off-grid, and ready to rediscover ourselves. This album is powered by the sun, the most powerful object in our solar system. And I think you can tell. It’s a collection of songs that represent an explosive reconnection with what Enter Shikari is. The beginning of our second act”.

Debuts To Critical Appeal; CBS Mornings to Air Sit Down This Friday, Feb. 10

After the debut of one of the most buzzed about country albums of the year with Come Get Your Wife, Elle King is now turning her full attention to her headline A-FREAKIN-MEN Tour Presented by Slow & Low, kicking off Valentine’s Day in New Orleans. With 11 markets sold out in advance, King is prepping her biggest headline tour to date.

“I am so excited for the A-FREAKIN-MEN Tour,” said King. “I’ve spent the last year pouring my heart into the record and now into the production of bringing the songs to life on stage and weaving in songs from the past to tell my story as a whole. I’ve never put so much into anything, and I can’t wait to experience it with all of you! See you on the road!” Catch a sneak peek HERE.

Tour rehearsals with new production are well underway, and the set will showcase King’s multi-genre hits, plus songs from Come Get Your Wife. Her breakout multi-Platinum pop hit “Ex’s & Oh’s” garnered multiple GRAMMY nominations while her smash No. 1 singles “Different For Girls” with Dierks Bentley and “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” with Miranda Lambert have cemented her in the country genre. In addition to those fan favorites, King will bring to the stage songs from her new album, including her current single “Worth A Shot,” the rousing and bodacious breakup tune “Tulsa,” (Country Now), the spirited “Try Jesus,” “Lucky” and more.

Released Jan. 27 Come Get Your Wife is receiving rave reviews from the fans and critics.

“…The expansiveness of modern country music is firmly on display.” Billboard

“Though she has been in the country space for a few years now, King firmly stakes her claim with ‘Come Get Your Wife’ with a sense of refreshing individualism.” American Songwriter

“When you talk about the importance of authenticity for an artist to resonate with people, Elle has got it in spades.” Whiskey Riff

Upon release of the album, King premiered new songs from the record on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and Good Morning America while talking music and pop culture with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live. Friday, CBS Mornings will air a sit-down interview with King and Jan Crawford who recently chatted with King at one of her favorite Nashville watering-holes and invited them along to the release party for her new album.

Hard Rock Veterans BLACK WATER RISING Release New Single “Hail Mary”

February 8, 2023

Hard rock veterans Black Water Rising have released a new song, titled “Hail Mary”, along with a music video! Preceded by their song “Jokes On You” from last year, the music video for the new track is premiering today exclusively via Ghost Cult Magazine.

"Hail Mary" is the fourth single from the band’s upcoming album, due out later this year. It also features original guitarist John Fattoruso, who rejoined BWR in late 2019. The video was once again directed by Tom Flynn (Lamb Of God, I Prevail). The new material promises to be more melodic, yet still as riff-heavy as BWR’s previous albums - featuring hooks and catchy choruses to pull you in, all while retaining a musical identity of its own.

Commenting on the new video, drummer Mike Meselsohn shares, "It was great working with Tom (director) again on this new video. Although it's strictly a performance video, he was able to capture the live energy of the band while still creating a visually stunning compliment to the song!"

Watch the video for “Hail Mary”

Stream "Hail Mary" HERE

BLACK WATER RISING is a collection of soul-baring, angst-ridden, riff-heavy material that is proudly anchored in the foundations of traditional hard rock songwriting. Giant guitar-driven monster riffs served up on a bed of crushing grooves with soaring melodic vocals and big hooks. Basically, NO FRILLS RIFF ROCK!

Lyrically the message is socially and politically driven by the dark times we live in. With darkness seemingly growing by the day, BLACK WATER RISING is a name that fits this band like a glove. The philosophy of BWR is simple, they are not looking to reinvent the wheel, they just want to give it a much-needed alignment in these musically stale times.

The band's discography includes the self-titled 'Black Water Rising' (2010), an album that achieved the number one slot on Amazon's Hard rock chart upon release, 'Pissed and Driven' (2013), an honest, barebones rock album that climbed rock/metal charts, and their third full album, 'Electrified' (2017), with its first single charting on Billboard's Indicator Chart.

Black Water Rising are:

Rob Traynor - Vocals/Guitar

Mike Meselsohn - Drums

Oddie McLaughlin - Bass

John Fattoruso - Guitar

Of Virtue Share "A.N.X.I.E.T.Y." Video — WATCH

February 8, 2023

STREAM "A.N.X.I.E.T.Y."

OF VIRTUE SHARE NEW SONG AND VIDEO "A.N.X.I.E.T.Y."

Michigan metalcore band Of Virtue serve their new single "A.N.X.I.E.T.Y." via Arising Empire.

Watch the video below.

Produced by Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland (August Burns Red, Polaris, Hollow Front), with additional production by Chris Shifflett, mixed and mastered by Dan Braunstein (known for his work for Spiritbox, Dayseeker, Volumes), this heavy new material hits you straight in the face.

"This song is about being uncomfortable in your own skin and being so far in your own head that you allow outside factors to break you down," says vocalist Tyler Ennis. "While you may know you need to change, not knowing how, not wanting to ask for help, not allowing yourself to be vulnerable to change — all due to the fear of the unknown, the anxiety — that's what paralyzes us. This all isn't talked about enough because of guilt or shame. The last few years have been very difficult for a lot of people, including us, for this reason. So we decided to speak up in case anyone felt the same way."

OF VIRTUE LIVE:
7/15 — Grand Rapids, MI — UpHeaval Fest

Of Virtue were formed in 2008 and catapulted onto the Michigan metalcore scene in 2009 with their debut EP To Breathe Again. Combining elements of melodic hardcore and metalcore into a mosh-friendly and energetic amalgam, the band became a staple within its local scene. Of Virtue issued their debut full-length Heartsounds in 2011, followed by an extensive regional touring cycle. The album found the band expanding on the sound that defined its earlier effort, with lyrics speaking of positivity and determination. It was sonically vicious, yet passionate and inspiring. In 2015, the band dropped Salvation, a sprawling and ambitious example of meticulous and melodic metalcore. Third full-length What Defines You arrived in 2019. That album marked incorporation of alternative styles into a backbone of bold, robust metalcore. Even in the setting of a global pandemic, Of Virtue continued to blossom worldwide, accruing new listeners and fans, effectively expanding their reach even in a time where live performances were all but impossible.

It's A World Leader Summit + A Plea for World Peace in LIMP BIZKIT's "Out of Style" Video — WATCH🌎☮️

February 8, 2023

LIMP BIZKIT BRING TOGETHER WORLD LEADERS IN A GARAGE FOR DEEPFAKE "OUT OF STYLE" MUSIC VIDEO

CLIP PREMIERES VIA MTV

LATEST ALBUM STILL SUCKS OUT NOW

BAND LAUNCHES D2C WHERE ALBUM IS AVAILABLE ON CD FOR THE FIRST TIME

If anybody could broker world peace, it's LIMP BIZKIT...

Today, LIMP BIZKIT share the cinematic music video for "Out Of Style," directed by frontman Fred Durst and Marc Klasfeld.

The video made its broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, and MTV's Biggest Pop.

Durst and Klasfeld point to this Jimi Hendrix lyric when summing up the video: "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."

The song is the opening track from the band's sixth full-length studio album, STILL SUCKS. [Suretone].

The clip finds a deepfake assortment of "world leaders" together (Joe Biden, Vladimir Putin, Volodymyr Zelensky, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong-un), and even invites an appearance from "Mr. Maverick" himself in A.I. form. Meanwhile, the band throws down in a garage during a barbecue. There are all kinds of hidden Easter Eggs and deeper message — if you are paying close enough attention.

The song and video are about unity, of course. Put aside the beef and let's focus on space, the universe, and what's next for us as a species.

For as many answers as it offers, there are just as many questions, but you'll have to watch it now.

STILL SUCKS will be available for the first time in two different CD configurations.

There will be a "Gold Disc" edition, which is a strictly limited-edition numbered run, and a "Silver Disc" edition.

Both versions will feature the album's 12 songs including "Out Of Style," "Dad Vibes," and "Don't Change," + a bonus track. Get it here.

BRAND OF SACRIFICE Announce New EP 'Between Death And Dreams"; Drop New Single "Dynasty"

February 8, 2023

Canadian deathcore wrecking crew, BRAND OF SACRIFICE, have announced the release of new EP, 'Between Death and Dreams' out on April 21st. To highlight the announcement, the band have dropped new single "Dynasty", complete with a stunning cinematic music video that has fast become their calling card. Listen to the track HERE. Watch the video below. Pre-Orders for 'Between Death and Dreams' will be live at 10am EST on Friday, February 10th HERE.

Speaking on the brand new track, BRAND OF SACRIFICE frontman, Kyle Anderson adds

'A big challenge for me this year was to bring in some different elements on the emotional spectrum into our music and lyrics, not just despair or anger. I wanted to express some of my personal story through this song. Dynasty is more uplifting - it's about challenging yourself to overcome your personal obstacles while staring fear in the face and, much like Brand of Sacrifice as a whole, becoming an absolutely unstoppable force.'

"Dynasty" follows the release of track "Exodus", the band's first new music in over a year, in November last year to much furore from fans. "Exodus", "Dynasty" and the upcoming EP mark the beginning of a new chapter of BRAND OF SACRIFICE. Maintaining their signature brutality and complexity, but upping it to a whole new level with a few surprises thrown in.

Pre-orders and a special 'Between Death and Dreams' merch collection are available now from www.brandofsacrifice.com

BRAND OF SACRIFICE are currently on the road with We Came As Romans on their Darkbloom 2023 Tour. For further info and tickets, head to brandofsacrifice.com

ABOUT BRAND OF SACRIFICE

Since 2018, Toronto-based deathcore quintet BRAND OF SACRIFICE have been imprinting their mark on the heavy music scene. Dubbed ‘The Branded Ones,’ the group’s fans joined and marched with them as they tore across the globe in support of their sophomore album "Lifeblood", which debuted on 8 separate Billboard charts and earned them a Juno nomination for Metal Album of the Year. Other highlights included slots on highly anticipated tours with artists like Spiritbox, Thy Art is Murder, We Came as Romans & more.

BRAND OF SACRIFICE have pushed the envelope even further with their next release 'Between Death and Dreams'. With production even more cinematic, exemplified by massive choral soundscapes, brutal breakdowns, and quite few surprises along the way, the EP is an exceptional evolution of their sound. Across their releases to date, BRAND OF SACRIFICE have hit 50 million streams and 10 million YouTube views.

The band draws its name from popular anime series Berserk by Kentaro Miura.

Fans at any BRAND OF SACRIFICE show will be familiar with set-closer “Eclipse” and its ending chant of, “Welcome to the new age.” With 'Between Death and Dreams', it’s evident the band have ushered in yet another, even fresher era from which there is no turning back.
