ALT. ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM ABEYANCE OUT FRIDAY, JUNE 16

BAND SHARES VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE "A.D.D."

Abeyance: A state of temporary disuse or inactivity.

More accurately, the polar opposite to Adelaide rockers alt.'s modus operandi, emerging from a turbulent few years armed with rejuvenated focus and ferocity, as well as their debut full-length album ABEYANCE ready to stupefy the senses and catapult one of the city of churches' brightest stars further into the spotlight.

Due out June 16 via Resist Records in Australia and SharpTone Records for the rest of the world, ABEYANCE will feature the group's recent singles "THE GREAT DEPRESSION" and "WRAITH," as well as a brand new track dropping today to accompany alt.'s album announcement: Enter "A.D.D," a futuristic and, at times, industrial wormhole that flits between crystalline calm and stadium-ready, scathing arrangements.

"We didn't really know what ABEYANCE was going to sound like initially," vocalist Dan Richards reveals of the album's early days. "The first two songs that we had for ABEYANCE were polar opposites from each other; they were 'WRAITH' and 'BETTER OFF LEAVING,' the former being pretty much the first proper track and the latter being the last song on the album. We started off trying to fill in the gaps between those at first, but a few songs after that we really found what we wanted the sound to be — and it all really started with 'A.D.D,' that was the first song we wrote that we were like: 'Yep, this is the sound of ABEYANCE!'"

Working on ABEYANCE alongside Marcus Bridge (Northlane), Landon Tewers (The Plot In You), Zach Britt (Dream On, Dreamer), and Trenton Woodley (Hands Like Houses), producer Callan Orr also returned after his work on alt.'s 2020 debut EP dysfunctional — and the end result is nothing short of astonishing.

Wielding songs capable of breaking hearts, shattering speakers, and bewitching ears at every twist and turn, ABEYANCE expertly flexes alt.'s staggering technicality and flourishing grasp on vivid modernity amongst moments of sentimental flair. Initially conceived as a follow up EP to dysfunctional, ABEYANCE is a resounding declaration that alt. are more than ready to take over the world. An album that can trace its roots back to the early days of their debut EP while firmly facing the future, ABEYANCE is alt. assuredly roaring into 2023 with all guns blazing.

Spending years honing their signature brand of punk, pop, electronic, and alternative rock since first erupting onto the scene in 2019, alt. have previously performed with the likes of Karnivool, Cog, sleepmakeswaves, Belle Haven, Bad/Love and, most recently, as the national support for American rockers Saosin during their Australian tour.

GHOSTS OF SUNSET RELEASE THEIR SOPHMORE ALBUM, BREATHE, THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT. FIRST SINGLE, “AFTERTHOUGHT,“ GETS ADDED ON ROCK RADIO

Ghosts of Sunset have returned with our latest fix of melodic hard rock – Breathe. The band’s duo of singer-songwriters John Merchant (former Dutch Henry frontman) and multi-instrumentalist Todd Long (previously with the Verve Pipe) had last drawn attention to themselves in 2020 with their debut EP, Headed West, and 2022 follow-up LP, No Saints in the City.

Ghosts of Sunset not only pays homage to the 1980s hair metal scene they grew up on (Quiet Riot, Ratt, Mötley Crüe, Warrant, Faster Pussycat, GNR, etc.), but for music fans whose tastes run deep, Breathe touches upon post-punk aggression, melodic rock choruses and a quirky Cheap Trick spin on top of it all. From the lead-off track, “Afterthought,” to the straight rocker “Move Along,” and pop rocker “Gettin’ Over You” they cover it all on their latest release.  The album made the Top 100 Amazon list while lead- off track, “Afterthought,” has been getting spins on rock radio.

Hear “Breathe” here: https://ada.lnk.to/GOSbreathe

The writing and recording process for Breathe was a bit unconventional, and at the same time par for the course with 21st century technology. "We did all our recording via file sharing,” says Long. “First, one of us will have an idea, and then we just start sending mp3s back and forth while building the track up. After a basic track was completed, we’d then seek out who we feel might be right to put a guitar solo on it. If they like the track, then we proceed. If they don't, then that's fine too. We just hoped they feel connected enough to the track to want to contribute."

Merchant continues, “The opportunity to make a follow up full-length album was an absolute blessing and a daunting task. Unlike some writers, we’re always hoping our influences are noticeable, but we want them to be surprising and revealing as well. With this set of songs, we wanted to keep the door open for anything that moved us. They tell you where they want to go and we are open to whatever gets them to their destination. These songs take listeners from such sweeping landscapes as an Asian spy adventure, to something as internal and personal as the struggle of loving someone battling addiction. The musical compositions are as important as the lyrics to tell the stories that need to be told.”

Deko Entertainment president, Bruce Pucciarello, states on signing the band, “Todd and John offer up a wonderful collection of new tunes on their new album, Breathe.  Every entry is extremely well written and performed…definitely going to be listening to this one for a long time!"

THE ONGOING CONCEPT SHARE "FEEL AGAIN" VIDEO

BAND RETURNS WITH ORIGINAL LINEUP + NEW ALBUM AGAIN OUT MARCH 31 VIA SOLID STATE RECORDS

THE ONGOING CONCEPT are back! 

The band — brothers Dawson Scholz [vocals, guitar], Kyle Scholz [vocals, keys, percussion], and Parker Scholz [drums] along with TJ Nichols [vocals, bass], and Andy Crateau [vocals, guitar] — has announced its fourth album Again, out March 31 via Solid State Records. Pre-order it here.

Not only is this the first taste of new music from the band since 2017 but it also marks the return of the original lineup.

 "'Feel Again' was the first song we started writing and ended up taking the longest to finish," says Dawson. "We were all rusty from not writing together in years, and this song really brought us all back and jump-started our creative flow. There was a lot of growing up and healing that happened between the time the original guys left and when they returned, and this song really showcases that, lyrically. It really brought us all closer, and showed us all how much we have matured over the years and how much we missed creating art through our music."

The Ongoing Concept have announced tour dates, as well. They are below.

THE ONGOING CONCEPT ON TOUR:
4/7 — The Big Dipper — Spokane, WA
4/8 — Mano Oculta — Portland, OR 
4/9 — The Shredder — Boise, ID 
628 — The King Room — Denver, CO
6/29 — John Barleycorn’s — Wichita, KS 
6/30 — The Rino — Kansas City, MO
7/1 + 7/2 — Audiofeed Festival — Urbana, IL 
7/3 — Reverb Lounge — Omaha, NE 
7/5 — Kilby Court — Salt Lake City, UT 

For a little history lesson and how the band came back to its original form, keep reading!

The Ongoing Concept emerged with the now-seminal Saloon back in 2013. On its heels, fan favorite Handmade bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums Chart and Top Christian Albums Chart in addition to cracking the Top 30 of the Top Independent Albums Chart. In its wake, Kyle, Parker, and TJ departed, leaving Dawson as the sole original member for Places in 2017. As The Ongoing Concept went dormant, the group's catalog continued to react with listeners as the likes of "Cover Girl" clocked over a million Spotify streams and counting. After a period of quiet, communication mended between Dawson and his brothers Kyle and Parker. Between careers, marriages, and kids, they kicked around the idea of playing together once more.
 
"We’d been playing music since we were six-years-old," notes Dawson. "We lived and breathed the same band together. It's crazy, because I didn't know my brothers outside of music. Taking a break for a few years, we found who we were as normal people and embraced other interests. It was super healthy for all of us. One day, we were hanging out, and I said, 'You know I’ve been working on some little skeletons for songs,' and it made sense. The only reason we got back together was because we had our time apart."
 
They self-produced Again and took their time. The Ongoing Concept integrated "lyrics and Easter Eggs" from previous albums into the record’s framework, embodying the title quite literally.

NYC-based NEVARIS and music legend BILL LASWELL present 'Dub Sol', previewing debut 'Reverberations' LP

”Love this! They've made a work of supreme creativity” ~ Carlos Santana


Touted by Carlos Santana as "a work of supreme creativity”, Manhattan-based artist Nevaris has announced his forthcoming 'Reverberations' LP, to be released this spring via celebrated boutique label M.O.D. Reloaded. Ahead of that, they present the lead track 'Dub Sol'.

Created by Nevaris (percussion, keyboards) and bassist-producer Bill Laswell, the current artist lineup also includes DJ Logic, Will Bernard, Peter Apfelbaum, Lockatron and Matt Dickey.

A musician and visual artist, Nevaris is a percussionist, keyboardist, vocalist and composer, who is heavily influenced by Afro-Latin, dub, and funk music. Born and raised on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, he is of European and Mexican descent with multi-generational roots in both NYC and LA's Echo Park neighborhood.

Prior to recording 'Reverberations', Nevaris recorded and performed with an evolving lineup of musicians under the name Loud Apartment, most notably Bernie Worrell of P-Funk and Talking Heads fame.

'Reverberations' is the third collaboration between Nevaris, Bill Laswell and this lineup of musicians (with the addition of Matt Dickey), here focusing more on the dub aspects of their sound. This instrumental recording combines dub, funk, afro-latin rhythms, turntablism and extended improvisation.

"This record builds on the momentum from 'System Breakdown' and 'New Future', which we released in 2020 and 2022 under the name Loud Apartment. There were dub aspects of those recordings, so Bill Laswell and I decided to create a recording entirely focused on that sound. It was a logical next step and came together in an organic way. We let the music go where it needed to go," says Nevaris.

"It's a dub based project, with breakbeat, funk, ambient, and afro-latin elements. It’s rhythm based music where the pocket is essential. Lockatron is a huge part of that, as, of course, is Bill Laswell, DJ Logic and everyone else involved. Peter Apfelbaum’s horn arrangements are also a core aspect. In my mind, it's a cohesive piece of music that is best listened to as a whole rather than as individual songs. And Bill takes it where it needs to go with the production like no one else really can."

In addition to his work as a musician, Nevaris is a visual and multimedia artist, who has worked on a vast array of creative projects across mediums. He also co-founded Nolej Records, Nolej Studios and the Uncomun Festival.

'Dub Sol' is out now, available from fine digital music platforms, including Spotify and Bandcamp. The full 'Reverberations' album will be released on May 25.

BOURBON HOUSE Reveal New Wave of Classic Rock Masterpiece, 'The Fourth Album'

After revealing a series of outstanding singles coming into 2023, Heavy Blues Rock band BOURBON HOUSE has unveiled their newest LP, The Fourth Album. The 10 track New Wave of Classic Rock gem showcases the band's incredible musicianship with soaring, soulflul vocals from stunning frontwoman Lacey Crowe.

"We're always trying to outdo ourselves and I think The Fourth Album is our best yet. You'll find plenty of our signature sounds, and some forays into new music territory. I think the authenticity of this album really shines through." - Jason Clark

""Old-school and proud, Wisconsin’s Bourbon House come bearing the smoky heat and buzz of their namesake, a shedload of honkytonk keys and a flash of showy guitar soloing – and it’s all packed into this rollicking new single." - Classic Rock Magazine

Click to Purchase / Stream 'The Fourth Album' Online

Founded in 2017 by vocalist Lacey Crowe and guitarist Jason Clark, Bourbon House are a modern rock ‘n’ roll band whose music is heavily inspired by their timeless predecessors Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Bad Company, to name a few. Following up their first album was Wild Abandon (2018), Into The Red (2021) and their most recent release, The Fourth Album (2023).

Managing themselves under their own label, Steel Jacket Records, Bourbon House have been on an upward trajectory since their debut. They made Classic Rock Magazine's "Hot List" with a full page feature, were named one of 15 Rising Rock Bands by acclaimed music journalist Matt Wake, climbed Matt Pinfield's Weekly Rock Countdown, and have been invited to perform at several music festivals this year.

At the center of Bourbon House's music are Crowe's unique blues-rock vocals and Clark's gritty, bluesy guitar riffs. Their music is honest and their love for the human aspect of pure rock 'n' roll, as well as the desire to create an escape within their music, is the driving force behind their prolificity.

With more music to follow the release of The Fourth Album, festival slots, and their need to be in a continuous mode of creation, Bourbon House are poised for a strong presence in 2023.

Savage Hands Announce Drop "Rock Bottom" Video — LISTEN

ROCK BOTTOM EP OUT APRIL 7 VIA SHARPTONE

Savage Hands, a hard rock group hailing from the Maryland and Virginia region, will release the Rock Bottom EP via SharpTone Records on April 7. Pre-order it here.

Today, the band has shared the video for the title track. Watch it below.

"When people read the word 'rock bottom,' they typically associate it with something that’s super negative," the band says. "In this sense, we're using it as if it's just where we come from. We come from a low point in the industry, as everyone else does, and we want to make it known that we're proud of where we came from and we love the grind. It takes a lot to be a musician these days and we're proud of the things we had to do and will continue to do to keep getting our music into new ears. It's celebrating the small victories and respecting the long game."

Prog-Metal Virtuosos STELLAR CIRCUITS To Release New Album, "Sight To Sound," On June 9th Via Nuclear Blast

Hot on the heels of their recent signing to Nuclear Blast Records, progressive-metal powerhouse STELLAR CIRCUITS has revealed details of their sophomore album, "Sight To Sound," which will be released on June 9th. Recorded with Jamie King (Between The Buried And Me, He Is Legend), the band's label debut features 11 unforgettable songs, soaked in aggression and replete with incredible technical skill for a truly mind altering listening experience.

Pre-save/Pre-order "Sight To Sound": https://sc.bfan.link/sight-to-sound

Without further ado, STELLAR CIRCUITS has released the record's first single, a hypnotic and hostile track titled "Witch House."

Bassist Jesse Olsen describes the song as a blending of the “rhythmic foundation with a grittiness and rawness that’s always pulled me in, starting from the very beginning. It’s hypnotic and keeps you wanting more.”

Watch the video for "Witch House" below.

About STELLAR CIRCUITS: 

Formed in 2015, Stellar Circuits emerged to combine the conceptual polarities of groove-oriented music with progressive-minded technicality. Over the quartet’s lifespan, they’ve managed to fulfill their own prophecy, formulating a core sound that is complex and layered, while providing a listenability that extends well beyond the rock genre. Visceral, intellectual, groovy, technical, and melodious are rarely indicators that can all be used to describe the aural essence of one band. In the case of Stellar Circuits, the rare combination makes a striking and definitive appearance in all they do. 
 
The Winston-Salem, NC foursome followed their 2015 debut EP with their first full-length album in 2018. "Ways We Haunt" would be recorded with North Carolina’s own Jamie King (Between The Buried And Me, He Is Legend), a legend in his own right, bringing his signature touch to Stellar Circuits’ first long form release. 
 
Generating significant attention, especially from the band’s more veteran industry peers, Stellar Circuits would go on to be invited as special guests on Chevelle’s 2021 N.I.R.A.T.I.A.S. tour.  Completing a nationwide trek that introduced Stellar Circuits to a significantly broader audience, the foursome immediately saw their fanbase increase exponentially, prompting a shift in their attention to a new record with which they could continue to build on the solid foundation they had since established.

"Sight to Sound," Stellar Circuits’ sophomore release, sees the band working once again with Jamie King to convey their growth and expansion on what they do best. Vocalist frontman Ben Beddick highlights the forward momentum, relaying how the band “wanted to push past the point of comfort when writing this music. To make something real and honest that we can all stand by.” 
 
Coming to audiences around the world via Nuclear Blast Records, "Sight to Sound" expands upon the progressive and groove-centric nature of the band; combining a heaviness, a catchiness, and strength of composition with technical proficiency that results in Stellar Circuits’ most polished release to date. Vocalist Ben Beddick further expands on the writing process and the record’s trajectory, marking a “turning point around the beginning of the writing process that steered us toward a particular conceptual direction. Moving closer to an understanding of the perception of our senses.  This record is meant to serve as a sort of invocation. A sense of qualia. The term ‘synesthesia’ comes to mind…”.  

Comprised of vocalist Ben Beddick, bassist Jesse Olsen, guitarist Jared Stamey and drummer Tyler Menon, the North Carolina quartet produce an effective and unparalleled coalescence that will undoubtedly excite new listeners while more than satisfying long-term followers. Featuring 11 original tracks that are poised to impress even the most discerning of aficionados, "Sight to Sound" puts the global music landscape on notice that Stellar Circuits has definitively arrived.

New Music Out Now from Narnia

NARNIA

Release Ninth Studio Album,

‘Ghost Town’, Out Today!

Order HERE

Twenty-seven years into a career that continues to grow, Swedish metal band NARNIAtake huge steps into an exciting chapter with the new album ’Ghost Town’. The seasoned five-some once again shows how to shape a masterpiece with this melodic metal future classic.

On their ninth studio album, ’Ghost Town’, NARNIA has picked the icing on the cake from its vast catalog. This album can't simply be labeled a neoclassic metal album or a power metal album, though these elements are present. There are also parts that are progressive, modern, heavy, and just creatively different. This can all be summarized by saying, this is one well-crafted piece of classic, melodic metal.

Artwork: Jani Stefanovic / Layout: Jonatan Samuelsson

Order 'Ghost Town' HERE

Co-founder, guitarist, and producer CJ Grimmark is the crucial architect of the band's sound, and also its primary songwriter along with co-founder and lead singer Christian Liljegren and bassist Jonatan ”Jono” Samuelsson. Through well formulated lyrics and melodies created to enhance the music, this songwriting team has explored new modes of expression represented in songs such as ’Thief’, with its dramatic arrangement of anxiety-laden, expressive imagery, and the progressive, ’Modern Day Pharisees’, a song dealing with the subject of hypocrisy.

The title track, ’Ghost Town’, was first introduced to the cheering live-audience at Sweden Rock Festival 2022, and is now an obvious part of the set list with its bombastic four on the floor-pulse and sing along chorus. The heartbeat of NARNIA, Andreas "Habo" Johansson, does a tremendous job behind the drums, and spares no energy. Martin Härenstam and his keyboards have been given a large but tasteful space on the record, and range in sound from vintage synths to grand piano.

The record's gem, "Rebel", with a nod to the band’s earliest influences, should appeal to longtime fans. But also, more immediate songs like the soon-to-be crowd pleasers, "Hold On", "Wake Up Call", and "Alive". "Descension", on the other hand, is more progressive, but there is a constant and clear common thread throughout the entire production that ties it together brilliantly.

"Out of the Silence" picks up where 2019's "The War That Tore the Land" left off, as the album's only ballad. Featured by Saviour Machine’s frontman Eric Clayton, who reads the Lord’s prayer with his deep baritone operatic voice.

"Glory Daze" is perhaps the album's heaviest song, which also addresses one of today's biggest problems: Stress and chasing the wind. Something that Liljegren himself experienced during a burnout.

"Different songs will appeal to different people lyrically, but we cover a variety of topics throughout the album, and I’m sure people will be able to relate to them, both musically and spiritually. Some of these songs stand out a bit from our previous repertoire, but without abandoning our historical influences", Liljegren explains and continues:

"This is an album with a positive message combined with bombastic music. You can't have one without the other when it comes to Narnia", Liljegren concludes.

Lyrics that make you reflect combined with the broad musical breadth the band possesses, along with a solid production, is NARNIA’s musical trademark which runs throughout the entire album.

If the last studio album, ’From Darkness to Light’, from 2019 marked the way, ’Ghost Town’ is a more than worthy sequel with a life of its own.

'Ghost Town' is produced by CJ Grimmark, mixed by the band"s sound engineer Viktor Stenquist, and mastered by Thomas Piec Johansson.

It is available on all digital platforms, on CD, and on vinyl on in collaboration with Sound Pollution Distribution.

NARNIA are:

Christian Liljegren: Vocals

CJ Grimmark: Guitars, backing vocals

Jonatan Samuelsson: Bass, backing vocals

Martin Härenstam: Keyboards

Out May 19th | Pre-Order HERE

Icelandic RING OF GYGES presents the first single and video, "Parasite", from their forthcoming album 'Metamorphosis', which will be released via ViciSolum Productions on May 19th. The album is an amazingly vivid and beautifully thought-provoking piece of art, which will thrill fans of bands like Leprous, Port Noir and Haken.

RING OF GYGES about the video:

"We spent a very cold couple of days out in the breathtaking landscapes and adorable little villages of South-Western Iceland with our fantastic director Gaui and a fantastic cast of actors, creating the video for our latest single 'Parasite'. Fun fact: one of the scenes is filmed inside the home of the local sheriff in Guðjón's hometown.

Share New Single "Umeå Hardcore"

New Album 'Välkommen till underjorden'

Available Now! | Order HERE

“Umeå Hardcore” is the first single from GATUPLAN's new album 'Välkommen till underjorden' (Welcome To The Underground). The track is about the music scene of the Swedish city Umeå, and how music has the power to change your life in a better way.

The force behind GATUPLAN comes from Inge Johansson the Swedish bassist known from bands like The (International) Noise Conspiracy, Against Me!, Cryssis and CSS.

With no intention to reinvent the wheel, GATUPLAN echos the music that inspired them from the get go. You can hear the influences of the pop sensibilities of the mighty Ramones, the groove of Rancid and The Specials, and the edgy attitude of Ebba Grön, The Clash or Public Enemy.

But, GATUPLAN have no ambition to become a retro concept act – they strive to make music for the here and now, and for the future to come.

This is positive music in a negative time, and a soundtrack to a dream of a better future.

The video for the new track is directed/filmed by Emil Klinta, well known for his work with The Hellacopters & Ghost, among others.

RedHook Join Forces With Yours Truly On Astronomical Break-Up Anthem 'Imposter'

Two of the most prominent women in the Australian heavy music scene, RedHook's Emmy Mack and Yours Truly's Mikaila Delgado, join forces on 'Imposter' – the flagship single from alt-rock shapeshifters RedHook’s forthcoming debut album 'Postcard From A Living Hell', which is slated for release on Friday, April 21 and available for pre-order here. Watch the new video for 'Imposter' below.

Produced by Stevie Knight (Stand Atlantic, Yours Truly) and mixed by James Paul Wisner (Underoath, Paramore), 'Imposter' is a dark, empowering break-up anthem driven by alien synths, heavy guitars, and striking lyrics. Packed with memorable one-liners such as "Never believed in lizard people / Til I discovered your scales", "Hearts change like the weather / And now it's raining on you", and "We used to freak / But now you freak me out", 'Imposter' uses the sci-fi trope of body snatching as a metaphor to articulate a traumatic experience that both Emmy and Mikaila share; watching someone you love change into a completely different person, before a heartbreaking trail of their past lies and deceptions starts to unravel before your eyes.

Emmy explains the inspiration behind the track:

"There's no head-fuck quite like discovering that the person you love most, and who you think you know better than anyone else, has been lying to you and manipulating you the entire time. At first, it feels like death, you grieve for the person you loved as if they've died, and yet somehow they still exist. It's almost as if some kind of evil, alien life force has taken up residence inside their body and is walking around wearing their skin. Eventually, it causes you to question your own sanity; you question whether that person who meant so much to you ever really existed at all."

On the topic of tapping Yours Truly for the collab, she adds:

"This song was already so special to me and one of my absolute favourites off the record. We approached Mikaila to be involved because we love Yours Truly so much and thought her voice would sound amazing on the track. But what I didn’t realise was that she'd actually been going through an eerily similar situation to mine in her own personal life. We trauma-bonded a lot during the process of putting 'Imposter' together and the extra vocal parts and lyrics that Mikaila added still give me goosebumps every time! She took this song to a whole new dimension and I'm so grateful to her for it. This is our joint break-up anthem and we hope it empowers other people who've been through similar nightmarish bullshit to stay strong."

The song also comes packing a quirky, science fiction-inspired music video directed by Colin Jeffs of Ten of Swords Media (Make Them Suffer, Alpha Wolf), which takes its cues from cult sci-fi flicks like 'Species' and 'Jennifer's Body', as both women slowly morph into deranged lizard monsters with a taste for human flesh.

'Imposter' follows on from 'Off With Your Head', 'Soju' feat. Sly Withers, 'SAY' and 'Jabberwocky', which will all feature on the forthcoming 'Postcard From A Living Hell' LP, available for pre-order here.

ABOUT REDHOOK

RedHook are a fiercely independent, shapeshifting alt-rock foursome from Sydney, Australia who’ve quickly accumulated a global fanbase and tens of millions of streams through their powerful songwriting and captivating live show.

Featuring the core creative duo of Emmy Mack and Craig Wilkinson, two strangers from regional New South Wales whose paths collided after moving to Sydney in 2017, RedHook combine with young gun drummer Alex Powys and seasoned bassist Ned Jankovic to create heartfelt, attitude-filled and relatable alternative rock music that consistently defies classification.

The strength of their debut single ‘Minute On Fire’ in 2018 was enough to attract the interest of one of the lead promoters of the UK’s iconic Download Festival, who swiftly invited RedHook over to play. The band were then snapped up by The Hen House Artist Management (worldwide) and inked booking deals with New World Artists (AUS) and Wasserman (UK/EU), going on to conquer some of Australia’s biggest music festival stages (Download, Good Things, Stonefest, BIGSOUND). They also completed their debut international tour (supporting metal titans Three Days Grace across the UK & Europe), launched their own gender diversity-inspired alternative festival in Sydney, 'UsFest', and undertook four complete Australian tours (selling outthe Melbourne and Sydney legs of their own debut headline tour).

As RedHook’s global fan base grew steadily with each single release and live show, many big things followed. The band were named triple j Unearthed feature artist, Kerrang! Radio feature artist and were invited to host the ABC’s iconic rage program. They’ve consistently featured as one of the top 50 most-played artists on triple j Unearthed every year since 2019.

2021 saw RedHook release their long-awaited debut EP ‘Bad Decisions’ which has ticked over 13 million Spotify streamsand had its two lead singles added to rotation on triple j. The record earned praise from Kerrang! (UK), Rock Sound (UK), Rolling Stone (AUS) and many more, even scooping a 2022 AIR Independent Music Awards nomination for best punk EP or album.

RedHook continued their steady rise across 2022 with their debut performances at Australia’s UNIFY Gathering, Groovin’ The Moo and boutique festival Rolling Sets, as well as playing one of the world’s most iconic rock festivals Rock AM Ring/Rock im Park in Germany alongside the likes of Green Day and Muse, accompanied by a second tour of Europe supporting The Faim.

Their own headline ‘Bring Ya Mates’ tour was also a huge success with multiple sold out shows around Australia as it emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic. This was followed by a mammoth 28-date, two-month-long regional Australian tour as main support for metalcore titans In Hearts Wake and a triumphant return the Good Things festival stage alongside Bring Me The Horizon and Deftones, where RedHook made history as the first band to grace the lineup twice.

In May 2022, RedHook returned with ‘Jabberwocky’ their most gut-wrenching single to date, which was immediately added to triple j high rotation and added to the cover of Spotify’s popular ‘All New Rock’ Playlist. Follow-up singles ‘SAY’ and ‘Soju’ Ft. Sly Withers have both since been added to full rotation on triple j.

These singles will feature on RedHook’s long-anticipated debut album, Postcard From A Living Hell, which is due to arrive on April 21st, 2023. The band will support the release with a monster Australian tour joining international grunge icons The Smashing Pumpkins at the debut of their travelling The World Is A Vampire Festival throughout April, before embarking on their own 11-date Australian headline tour in May.

Brooklyn's A CLOUD OF RAVENS releases 'Parable', final single from 'Lost Hymns' LP

“Their sound, though inspired by bands of their youth, is not rooted stubbornly in the past - their music feels of this time, with their messages transversing the cosmos” ~ Post-Punk.com

"Sonic luxuriance... racing at full velocity with tight-fisted riffs, cutting exactitude and danceability... a healthy reminder of the original and timeless allure of the post-punk sound and scene" ~ The Spill Magazine

“A Cloud of Ravens impress not only for the dark poetry, which forms and develops in the band’s lyrics and expands in their alluring titles, but the duo also rivet through their gritty and immediate sonic scheme, which feels pitch dark and hard as nails” – Destroy // Exist

"A perfect blend of an homage to the past and the modern construction of the future. A heroic journey through a desolate land" ~ Sounds and Shadows

“They play cold wave, they play post-punk, they are Gothic and they set to music some of the most striking lyrics you can find” ~ White Light // White Heat

NYC-based postpunk duo A Cloud of Ravens has released 'Parable', a foreboding tale (and the final single) from their forthcoming 'Lost Hymns' LP. Recorded from spring to autumn 2021 and mastered by ACTORS' Jason Corbett at his Jacknife Sound studio, this collection of 11 tracks will be released via Nexilis Records / Schubert Music Europe on April 28.

'Parable' is a foreboding tale that comes following 'Requiem For The Sun', which casts a hopeful eye towards the light in a rich frenetic jaunt through the multiple facets of darkness we are all so eager to leave. Earlier, the duo previewed 'Nature of Artifice' and 'The Blackest Mantra'.

Formed in 2018 by Matthew McIntosh (guitar and vocals) and Beth Narducci (bass guitar), the Brooklyn-based duo emerged on the burgeoning dark music scene with a series of self-released offerings that garnered attention that led to their 2021 album 'Another Kind of Midnight', a mournful yet triumphant collection exploring the heart of a world amidst a devastating pandemic and torn by moral tribalism.

"In some ways, 'Parable' channels Einstein’s definition of insanity, which is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result," says Matthew McIntosh.

"Though dense in metaphor, 'Parable' is asking - how dire do things need to get in this world for us to realize, as a society and culturally, that maybe something needs to shift as far as how we honor each other, the futility of war, and how we treat the environment? We’ve got one planet, and we’re on it together whether we like it or not. Doesn’t the path of least resistance ultimately make the most sense?"

Effectively merging classic and contemporary post-punk and darkwave sensibilities, their somewhat poetic use of prose and metaphor expressed the trials and joys of the world in which we now find ourselves. A Cloud of Ravens' subsequent remix-based EP featured contributions by legendary producer John Fryer and such prominent artists as Clan of Xymox, ACTORS, Chris Vrenna and Ritual Howls.

Growing up in a family of avid music lovers and her mother being a professional opera single, McIntosh arrived at this genre of music after ample explorations in the punk, death rock and hardcore scenes, finally forging the duo's trademark sound with Narducci, whose background is more connected with alternative rock and industrial music, as well as professionally supporting fellow musicians in the A&R field.

'Parable' is out now, available across digital outlets, including Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon and Bandcamp. In support of the 'Lost Hymns' album, A Cloud of Ravens will launch a European tour with Then Comes Silence in April-May, followed by North American dates with Clan of Xymox and Curse Mackey in May-June.

Brian Slagel's "Swing of the Blade" Book Available for Pre-Order

SWING OF THE BLADE: MORE STORIES FROM METAL BLADE RECORDSOUT MAY 9

PRE-ORDERS LIVE NOW [[ADD LINK]]


Swing of the Blade: More Stories from Metal Blade Records follows Brian Slagel's critically acclaimed 2017 book, For the Sake of Heaviness, which delivered a compelling inside look at how a metal-obsessed California teen built Metal Blade Records into the preeminent international home of heavy music.

Rabid readers demanded more anecdotes, more bands, and more of Slagel's musical wisdom.

With Swing of the Blade, he delivers.

Featuring a foreword by Slayer's Kerry King, the new book is part-memoir, part-music-business primer, and all metal — delving deep into scenes and bands that fans worldwide obsess about.

Slagel serves up more of his favorite memories about iconic musicians and events, and delves into even greater detail about his long and ongoing relationships with Metallica, Armored Saint, King Diamond, and other heavyweights. Swing of the Blade is told in Slagel's humble but authoritative voice.

His view for the last 40 years — from the studio, in the crowd, and boardroom — offers an unprecedented look into the music, business, and passion that has made both Slagel and Metal Blade champions of discovering and nurturing the best heavy music on the planet.

Pre-order it here.

The exclusive bundle will include a bookplate signed by Brian Slagel, bookmark, patch, and a 40th anniversary medal, while supplies last!

Watch the promo video here.

ABOUT METAL BLADE RECORDS:
Founded upon owner Brian Slagel's enduring drive to find great bands and get their music out to as many people as possible, since 1982 Metal Blade has brought wave after wave of powerful, innovative, and often genre-defining music to the ever-hungry metal masses. It is this ethos that has seen Metal Blade build up a stunning and diverse catalog, weather the various storms facing any independent label, and in an age of declining record sales boast the most successful years of its existence as it celebrates its fourth decade.

Metal Blade Records launched Metallica, Slayer, Armored Saint, Fates Warning, GWAR, Cannibal Corpse, Amon Amarth, Whitechapel, The Black Dahlia Murder, Cattle Decapitation, and dozens more genre giants, shaping four decades and counting of hard rock, metal, and extreme music culture. Brian Slagel worked as a record store clerk when he founded Metal Blade in 1982, reserving a spot for a young Lars Ulrich on his Metal Massacre compilation series. Metal Blade grew from humble beginnings in Los Angeles to become an international powerhouse, selling millions of albums while remaining fiercely independent. In 2017, Slayer's Kerry King inducted the label into the Hall of Heavy Metal History. Slagel's For the Sake of Heaviness: The History of Metal Blade Records arrived the same year.

Saint Asonia Share "Devastate" Video — WATCH // Band On Tour Now!

ON TOUR NOW WITH SKILLET + THEORY OF A DEADMAN

Hard rock juggernaut SAINT ASONIA have released the music video for their single "Devastate." Watch the video below.

The song is featured on the band's new album, Introvert/Extrovert, which was released last December via Spinefarm. The full-length also features previous singles "Above It All" and "Blinding Lights." 

Commenting on the new video, lead singer Adam Gontier shares, "We’re excited to share the new official video for 'Devastate!' Once again working with director Justin Reich, we had a blast doing this one. Hope you all enjoy it! 🤘🏻"

Talking about the meaning behind the track, Gontier adds, "It's a song I wrote about those people in our lives that always seem to leave a trail of destruction behind them. I feel like we've all got, or had, someone in our lives that was just evil. Not caring about anything but themselves, and turning everything they touch into darkness. 'Devastate' is about that."

SAINT ASONIA, comprised of heavy hitters Gontier (former Three Days Grace front man) and Mike Mushok (Staind guitarist/founding member), have been making plenty of noise of late! In addition to the stellar release of Introvert/Extrovert, the band is currently on tour in the US supporting Theory of a Deadman and Skillet.

Following the U.S. trek, Saint Asonia will play a series of headline shows in Canada, along with a support gig in the band's hometown with Theory of a Deadman. In anticipation of these dates, Gontier says, "We are really stoked to be coming back home to Canada for a few shows! We're working up a killer set for the headline shows, and supporting Theory in our hometown of Peterborough is going to be awesome! Let'd goooo CA!!!"

MELVINATOR (Eric Melvin of NOFX) Announces Debut Album; Drops New Single "Regaining Unconsciousness"

Melvinator, the new punk-meets-EDM project from Eric Melvin - founding member and guitarist of legendary punk rock outfit, NOFX - has today announced the release of his debut album 'The Rise Of The Melvinator' set for release on May 12th, 2023 via Bottles To The Ground. Pre-orders for the new album are available now HERE.

Today's announcement is punctuated by the release of new single "Regaining Unconsciousness" and its accompanying new music video. Listen to the track on your platform of choice HERE and watch the video below.

Speaking on the news of his debut album and the release of "Regaining Unconsciousness", Eric Melvin shares

“I am so thankful for the love and support for the first ever Melvinator single, 'American Errorist' from last year. This exciting journey continues with this next release, 'Regaining Unconsciousness', one of my favorite NOFX tracks. The lyrics are as relevant today as ever, and the Melvinator version was such a blast to create. I can’t wait to share it!

I am grateful for the space to explore my passions for Punk Rock & EDM and celebrate songs that NOFX fans know and love as much as I do.

Along with American Errorist, Regaining Unconsciousness will be on my debut album, 'The Rise of the Melvinator' which will be dropping soon. I’m stoked!”

With a packed schedule for 2023, Melvinator has teamed up with long-time friend, bandmate, and label boss Fat Mike as one of the first signings to his new label Bottles To The Ground. With the announcement of "Rise Of The Melvinator", he will offer fans brand new versions of NOFX staples. Produced by Fat Mike and recorded over the course of two years alongside producerBaz The Frenchman (NOFX – The Decline at Red Rocks) and Danny Lohner of Nine Inch Nails, the project continues Eric Melvin’s exploration of the do-it-yourself links between punk rock & EDM.

ABOUT MELVINATOR

Globally renowned guitarist, artist and founding member of punk rock heavyweights NOFX, Eric Melvin needs little introduction.

Adored by fans across the world, Eric Melvin has been at the pinnacle of his career for over 3 decades, playing to hundreds of thousands of fans across the globe each year, selling millions of albums, and sustaining a staggering 1.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify as part of NOFX.

Outside of his work with NOFX, fans have been eagerly watching Melvin's solo transformation into Producer /DJ for nearly 10 years; beginning with the now legendary "Mosh-Up" collection of mixes on Soundcloud which saw Melvin's entry into the world of mash-ups with short, sharp sets that seamlessly molded together punk rock, hip-hop, EDM & funk - and mixing the likes of NWA with Fugazi & The Circle Jerks!!

Harnessing the parallels between the DIY ethos and energy of punk rock & EDM - over the next few years, Melvin began refining his production skills by bending and blending genres to create a style of music that pays homage to his history whilst lighting a fuse on his future.

The sonic start to this journey came with Melvin's first commercial solo release under the moniker Melvinator, a remix of NOFX track "American Errorist". It now continues with the announcement of the debut, full-length album, The Rise Of The Melvinator.

Expect a groundswell of excitement from all corners of the globe.

This hasn’t been done before...

The Rise of the Melvinator is upon us.

The Devil Wears Prada Announce "Color Decay" Deluxe Edition With 10 Additional Tracks + Share "Reaching" Video — WATCH✋

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA ANNOUNCE DELUXE EDITION OF COLOR DECAY

NEW VERSION FEATURING 10 ADDITIONAL TRACKS ARRIVES MAY 5

BAND SHARES "REACHING" VIDEO

The Devil Wears Prada — Mike Hranica [vocals], Jeremy DePoyster [vocals, guitar], Mason Nagy [bass], Kyle Sipress [guitar], Jonathan Gering [keys, synthesizers], and Giuseppe Capolupo [drums] — are thrilled to announce a deluxe edition of their eighth album Color Decay, which arrives May 5 via Solid State. Pre-order it here.

The expanded version will be available digitally and on vinyl. It will include 10 additional tracks — a treasure trove that features two new songs, acoustic versions of Color Decay favorites, live renditions, and remixes. Collectors, rejoice!
 

"We've been so proud of and grateful for Color Decay feedback, and with that, we're releasing our first deluxe edition in 15 years. Listeners have all chimed in with favorited tracks and we've cooked up a bunch of videos; fast forward, we figured we had no choice but to grow the Color Decay universe even bigger," the band says.


And with that, TDWP have shared the video for the new track "Reaching." Watch it below.
 

"'Reaching' is a song about unapologetic growth," says Hranica. "I feel we often hear songs of resilience and strength that don't really cover the dirty, harder times. It takes struggle and failure to better oneself, and I think that's the soul of this tune."

TDWP will hit the road with August Burns Red on the second leg of tour next month. All dates are below.

ABOUT TDWP:
The Devil Wears Prada have been consistently delivering since forming in 2005. Fans voted 2009's seminal With Roots Above and Branches Below one of the 5 Greatest Metalcore Albums in a Revolver poll, with the magazine christening it "a true metalcore landmark." The group has notched six consecutive Top 5 debuts on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums Chart, including Dead Throne [2011], 8:18 [2013], Space EP [2015], Transit Blues [2016], The Act [2019], and ZII EP [2021]. The latter served as a sequel to one of their most beloved projects — 2010's Zombie EP. In the wake of the EP, the group exceeded a-quarter-of-a-billion cumulative streams and views. During 2021, the musicians decamped to remote hideaways together in Wisconsin and Desert Hot Springs, California. This time around, Jon took the reins as producer, collaborating closely to assemble a rich sonic architecture for what would become Color Decay.

Imperial Tide Share "Off the Leash" Video — WATCH

L.A and Las Vegas-based hardcore outfit IMPERIAL TIDE  — Landon Hill, vocals; William Barber, guitar; Keene Dadian, guitar; Tanner Galambas, bass; and Russel Schoenbeck, drums — have shared the video for their crackling-with-intensity new single "Off the Leash."

The video is meant to grab your attention — and keep it — minus any BS or artifice. 
 

"We wanted to make a music video that the audience could immediately identify who we were as a band," says Hill about the visual. "No glitz or glamour — just raw, black and white, and in your face. We made the point to film this video entirely by ourselves, with no filter between us and the fans."

Regarding the deeper meaning behind the song, Hill continues, "'Off the Leash' is about cutting off those around you with disingenuous motives. We build a support system through life and sometimes those we surround ourselves with don't have the drive or intentions to match. The lyric 'All Bark, No Bite' explains how some people just want to talk about what they want…but we're here to take action 'with nothing left to lose.'"

STREAM "OFF THE LEASH"

An unholy union of crunchy riffs, booming bass, and breakdowns, Imperial Tide champion an independent mindset in all aspects of their music. The group has built itself from the ground up. They screen-print their moniker on their own t-shirts, hang it on the banisters they build from scratch, and conceptualize it in visual metaphors they film themselves.  

Comprised of five childhood friends with a range of experience in the music industry — musical production degrees, experience with web design and animation, hands-on merchandise production, and more — Imperial Tide have mined the depths of emotional turmoil and existential crisis in order to create music that challenges convention and alters perceptions, screaming in defiance at any and all who would try to oppose their reign. Early live appearances have included Rockville 2021 and the SO WHAT? Music Festival, as they gear up to take the US by storm in 2023.
