The lyrics are about false information on social media and news, and for a normal person, it's hard to understand what is right and what is wrong."

ABOUT PAIN:
PAIN is an industrial metal project created by Peter Tägtgren, a Swedish musician, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. If you want to hear this story from him, it would be short and straight to the point: "PAIN was just me f*cking around in the studio, and it grew into becoming a band."

Started as a one-man project with all the vocals, instruments parts, and production made by one person… Well, it still is, but not only. It also became a prominent touring group that today consists of, apart from Peter, his son Sebastian Tägtgren (drums), Jonathan Olsson (bass), and Sebastian Svalland (guitar).

Nevertheless, a long time ago, in 1997, when the debut album of the project was released, there was nobody but Peter. By this time, he already had four successful albums with HYPOCRISY — and also had some ideas that wouldn't go with the band's style.

That's how the story of PAIN began — the story where eight albums are known and loved for such smashing hits as "End Of The Line," "Shut Your Mouth," "Same Old Song," "Follow Me," "Coming Home," and many more. This story also contains strong lyrics, rich arrangements, solid melodies, unflagging energy, killing live shows, and big plans for the future.

Brantley Gilbert Releases Acoustic "Bury Me Upside Down (Live In Studio)"

Multi-Platinum country rocker Brantley Gilbert revisits a fan-favorite track from So Help Me God (Deluxe Edition) with an acoustic reimagining of “Bury Me Upside Down (Live In Studio)” via The Valory Music Co. Listen to the song HERE and watch the video Below.
 
“We’ve been having a blast playing this song out on the road,” shares Gilbert. “It raised its hand early on as a crowd favorite, so we wanted to give BG Nation this song in its purest form, hearing the guitars and vocals stripped-back, just like it sounded the day it was written with my buddies Brock Berryhill, Brian Davis, Brandon Day, Chase McGill, Josh and Taylor Phillips and Michael Ray.”
 
Released earlier this year, So Help Me God (Deluxe Edition) features 15 tracks all cowritten by Gilbert. Still considering himself a songwriter first and foremost, the project showcases his vast medley of influences alongside a wide cast of collaborators, with the Georgia native sharing, “We’ve always been a little outside of the box when it comes to writing and recording. We always try to serve the song as it takes shape rather than shaping the song to serve us. If it’s asking for a harder edge, let’s do that. If it feels a little more introspective, let’s lean into that. This album intersects across a lot of different genres, and we’re proud to say that it’s something that happened naturally.”
 
Kicked off earlier this summer, Gilbert is currently on the Get Rollin’ Tour with Nickelback, bringing their explosive talents together for 50+ shows through October, with Cleveland.com praising their two “worlds seamlessly melded…with the audience equally familiar with and embracing both Nickelback and the raucous sounds of Music City opener Brantley Gilbert,” who “succeeded in turning Blossom Music Center on this night into the Dirty South.” Tickets are available at BrantleyGilbert.com.

About Brantley Gilbert
With back-to-back Platinum albums and a grassroots following millions strong, Brantley Gilbert’s music has been shared, covered and adopted as the soundtrack to Saturday night and Sunday morning by audiences around the world. The Georgia native who started as the defiant life-of-the-party can still go ‘til sunrise, but he’s also emerged as something far greater: the leader of a massive tribe of hard-working, fun-loving believers for whom electric guitar-shredding, rapping, and twang can go hand-in-hand-in-hand. They call themselves the BG Nation, and when the BG Nation watches Gilbert on a stage, they don’t just see a star. They see themselves. Seven No. 1 hits punctuate his career: RIAA 7x Platinum-certified “Bottoms Up,” 2x Platinum “Country Must Be Country Wide,” 2x Platinum “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do,” 2x Platinum “One Hell of An Amen,” Platinum-certified collaboration with Lindsay Ell “What Happens In A Small Town,” and two chart-toppers as a songwriter with CMA Song of the Year nominee “Dirt Road Anthem” and “My Kinda Party.” Gilbert’s landmark record Just As I Am clinched the 2014 American Music Award for Favorite Country Album. Earning praise from the New York Times, NPR, American Songwriter, and more, Gilbert has mined a rich vein of conflict between the party and the pew on all of his albums. Instead of toiling in limbo, unable to enjoy good times for fear of Judgment Day, Gilbert fully lives––rowdy friend, man of faith, devoted husband, smitten new father––just as he is. So Help Me God (Deluxe Edition) is available now via The Valory Music Co., featuring 15 tracks all cowritten by Gilbert and collaborations with Blake Shelton and Vince Gill, Jason Aldean, HARDY and Toby Keith and Jelly Roll. Gilbert is currently on the road with Nickelback on the Get Rollin’ Tour with 50+ dates across North America.

AWARD-WINNING SONGWRITER AND SONGLAND WINNER MADELINE MERLO DELIVERS HER LATEST EMOTIVE TRACK “TIM + FAITH” VIA BBR MUSIC GROUP/WHEELHOUSE RECORDS

Infused with the warm feeling of unwavering love, the melodious ode and moving tribute pays homage to the era of country music that launched superstars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill and solidified the devoted marriage between country music’s power couple.

“‘Tim + Faith’ is a song that pulls from my love of 90s Country music, and combines it with the feeling of everlasting love,” said Merlo. “I got married last year and one thing my husband and I say to each other all the time is ‘It’s always you & me.’ That line, along with getting to be a small part of Cole Swindell’s ‘Heads Carolina’ last year, inspired me to pay homage to one of my favorites, ‘It’s Your Love,’ with this song.”

"Tim + Faith" promises to be a captivating addition to Madeline Merlo's repertoire, known for her authentic storytelling and powerful vocals. With this tribute, she not only honors the music legends but also showcases her own talents as a rising star in the country music scene. "Tim + Faith" speaks to the enduring love story of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, two icons who have not only shaped the country music landscape but also set an example of navigating a relationship in the spotlight. Madeline Merlo's soulful vocals combined with poignant lyrics beautifully encapsulate the essence of their legendary and aspirational bond and support for each other.

Having “already proven her songwriting chops” (Billboard), Merlo has “long made a career by telling big emotional stories in the span of 3 minute or so songs” (American Songwriter). Similar to her critically acclaimed label-debut EP, Slide, that scored her praise from Billboard, E! News, PopCulture, Music Rowand more, Merlo continues to build her niche as a songwriter and artist, as she brings to life powerful female stories, from budding romances, to growing up and to the lessons learned in-between. “…Ready to make her name and talent known in the American country music landscape” (Country Swag), the “rising country star’s” (People) newest project “Tim + Faith” is out now.

About Madeline Merlo:

Award-winning songwriter and “rising Country star” (Country Now) Madeline Merlo “has long made a career by telling big emotional stories in the span of 3 minute or so songs” (American Songwriter). After scoring impressive Canadian radio play and winning the Canadian Country Music Association’s Rising Star Award (and being nominated twice for Female Artist of the Year), the “breakout talent” (American Songwriter) released a super-charged new song “Same Car” along with her spirited four-track EP Slidevia BBR Music Group/Wheelhouse Records. Produced by Zach Crowell (Dierks Bentley, Sam Hunt, Dustin Lynch) and backed by iridescent beats, Merlo’s collection of songs — all co-written by Merlo — deliver powerful female stories, from budding romances, to growing up, to the lessons learned in between. Winner of the season 2 premiere of the NBC songwriting reality TV series Songland, the Canadian songstress’ captivating track “Champagne Night,” recorded and released by Lady A, went on to be a three-week No. 1 song on US Country radio and earned her the 2021 Canadian Country Music Association Award for Songwriter of the Year.  This latest from Merlo is a captivating addition to her repertoire showcasing her authentic storytelling and powerful vocals on “Tim + Faith.”  Infused with the warm feeling of everlasting love, the melodious ode and moving tribute pays homage to 90s Country music and the devoted marriage between country music power couple, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.

Alex Hall’s 10-Track “Side Effects Of The Heart” Out Now

What you need to know about 29-year-old Monument Records artist Alex Hall is that the guitar-slinger from Georgia leads with his heart. That lens shades every track on his first full-album, Side Effects Of The Heart, available now, with Hall eloquently capturing a journey through the primary plight of anyone’s lifetime: love, and the rewards and consequences of following your heart. Listen to the album HERE.
 
“I hope that I’m honest enough in them that people can hear themselves in these songs,” Hall shares. “I remember when certain albums came out that I could put on while cooking dinner at the end of a long day and they set a mood, and that’s what we aimed to do with this 10-track album.” 
 
With so many of his influences swirling around throughout the writing and recording – from the guitar playing of Vince Gill to the vocals of Lee Ann Womack and Willie Nelson – Hall, “an astute guitarist with an expansive vocal range,” praises Billboard, “explores a variety of sounds on his first album. The project conveys an optimistic worldview, but it’s clearly filtered through real-world heartache and familiar disappointment.”
 
Released as the first taste of the project, album opener and title track “Side Effects Of The Heart” finds Hall bringing “a fresh kind of honesty to the studio as he draws from the sounds of both modern and classic country to pen this rollercoaster of emotions,” shares Country Now. The title track gives listeners insight into what to expect on the project, along with an understanding of all that Hall has been through in his life:
 
        First comes love and then comes the lonely
        Then you’re climbing up the walls till the phone rings
        You’re in Heaven, then you’re dying
        Then you’re just so happy that you can’t stop crying
        There’s no cure for it, and that’s the hardest part
        We’re all a mess living with the side effects of the heart
 
The album also boasts a collaboration with 10x GRAMMY nominee Brandy Clark with “Women And Horses,” while “Her To Here” is a retrospective look at a series of events that ended a relationship. “I Know A Guy” finds Hall wittily suggesting he’s the guy to meet the laundry list of qualities a girl wants, as “Radio Waves” feeds the nostalgia of hearing a song that makes you revisit your younger years.
 
Rounding out the album with “Dad Now,” Hall poignantly and honestly tells the story of becoming a father, accompanied by wife Bri on violin. 
 
Following the release of his critically acclaimed Six Strings EP, Hall and his fiancée eloped to California and shortly after found out they were expecting. With a European tour on the horizon and his debut album nearly complete, a new baby wasn’t necessarily in the plans: “Went from planning for a honeymoon to planning for a kid / Nine months fly by, first breath, first cry…Life makes you grow up in a moment…there’s so much more I gotta figure out / I’ll do my best ‘cause I guess I’m Dad now.”
 
Driven by an intense work ethic that was instilled on the North Georgia horse farm he grew up on, Hall began playing the guitar at 14, and by 16, he had bartered a deal with his guidance counselor allowing him 60 absences in return for maintaining a passing GPA so he could begin pursuing his career. Intent on honing his skills, Hall formed a band and played over 125-dates-a-year across the southeast while completing his high school curriculum.
 
After graduating, Hall made the official move to Nashville and the journey to truly crafting his artistry began. After five years, in 2019, the stars finally aligned. Within a matter of two weeks, Hall signed his record deal with Monument Records and began writing with some of his most admired songwriters. 
 
Hall hits the road this fall, supporting Tanya Tucker on tour stops in New York, N.Y., Knoxville, Tenn. and more. He’ll also perform at the Annapolis Songwriters Festival on Sept. 16 and 17, and at AmericanaFest in Nashville on Sept. 22.

About Alex Hall:
Alex Hall launches the next chapter of his career with his brand-new record, Side Effects Of The Heart. A project that tells the stories of everything the singer, songwriter, and guitar player’s heart has been through these last few years.
 
Growing up on a small horse farm on the outskirts of Gainesville, GA, Hall’s earliest memory is hearing Elvis Presley on his grandfather’s radio. It’s a sound he never forgot, and one that prompted him to pick up a guitar for the first time when he was only four years old. He started learning the instrument seriously in middle school, and quickly graduated from choir solos to bar gigs. By the time he was in high school, Hall was playing over 150 shows a year. 
 
After graduation, Hall moved to Nashville, TN and signed with Monument Records. He spent the last few years opening for Tanya Tucker and hitting the road with Brandy Clark, Little Big Town, and Tenille Townes. His debut EP on Monument Records, Six Strings, was a guitar focused project featuring the playing and vocal stylings of Hall’s heroes and friends – Vince Gill, Brad Paisley, John Osborne (of Brothers Osborne), Brad Tursi (of Old Dominion), Tenille Townes, and Kassi Ashton. Six Strings gained national acclaim from the likes of Vintage Guitar Magazine, Rolling Stone and Cowboys & Indians, and helped Hall to be named to the Fender Next 2021 program. 
 
Now, ready to bare it all, Hall is releasing his first full project as an artist with Side Effects Of The Heart. Out now, the album has a song for everyone…and a few for the dreamers out there like Alex Hall himself.

To fully appreciate the artistry behind the song, be sure to stream "Dead Man Running" on your preferred platform and immerse yourself in Tom Flynn's masterful direction in the accompanying music video.

WATCH Ovtlier -"Dead Man Running" Official Music Video:

“Dead Man Running" is a song about confronting haters, standing your ground, and the inevitable karma that comes around. Ovtlier's "Dead Man Running" is a powerful self-assertion anthem. The lyrics communicate a message of resilience and defiance against haters, jealousy, and rumors. It speaks to the artist's unyielding spirit, not losing sleep over fame and its resulting enemies. The song portrays the protagonist as someone who is immune to the negativity and is ready to retaliate, not initiating conflict but always finishing it. The recurring image of "Dead Man Running" symbolizes the futile attempts of those who try to bring him down.

Honing in on a modern sound while consistently setting themselves apart from the mainstream, Ovtlier (pronounced "Outlier") prides themselves in creating exemplary rock and metal music backed by a rapidly growing fanbase. Ovtlier has earned more than 3 million views of fan-curated content on YouTube and over 3 million streams on Spotify, while capturing the hearts of tens of thousands of followers online. In addition to their loyal fan base, the band has caught attention through achieving features in major media outlets such as Revolver, Loudwire, Alternative Press, Decibel and ABC News.

Continually hitting the Billboard charts, Ovtlier has been able to spread their sound nationwide through constant spins on FM radio and months of regular rotation on SiriusXM Octane- launching them into the forefront of their genre. Ovtlier has had three singles featured on SiriusXM Octane; "Who We Are", "Buried Me Alive" and "Blame The Dead" have made fans out of satellite radio listeners across the country and emphasizes the band's ability to stay creative while maintaining an ever-growing fanbase.

Ovtlier brought 2022 to a close with "Living Dead"-bringing the band their biggest success yet. Ovtlier earned a steady average of 1.5 million streams monthly on three streaming platforms (Amazon Music, Spotify and Pandora) alone and saw "Living Dead" become the most played song on SiriusXM Octane. With "Living Dead" behind them, Ovtlier is gearing up to outdo their own personal best with their upcoming release "Heartless". The track was written by the band's lead vocalist and founder, Joey Arena, accompanied by Evan McKeever and Julian Comeau (Loveless). "Heartless" owes its production to Justin DeBlieck (Ice Nine Kills, Motionless In White) and Evan McKeever while joining its predecessor as the second single mixed by Chris Dawson (SAUL, Any Given Sin) and mastered by Mike Kalajian (Bad Omens, The Plot In You). With Ovtlier's dedication and a star-studded team of support behind them, the success of "Heartless" as the band's most-accomplished single is inevitable.

Sacramento’s SIMON SAYS Reunite with Original Line-up After 20 Years, Sign to THC MUSIC for New Album to be Released in 2024!

Sacramento Emocore/Nu-Metal pioneers Simon Says have reunited with their original lineup - Vocalist Matt Franks, Guitarist Zac Diebels, Bassist Mike Arrieta, and drummer Mike Johnston, for the first time in over 20 years, and have announced they have signed to THC: Music (Taproot, Eve To Adam). The reactivated band are working on material for a new studio album to be released in 2024 via THC: Music/Amplified Distribution, and booking select live dates to support it. Additionally, THC will release remastered versions of the band’s out of print independent LPs Little Boy and Perfect Example, which will hit digital outlets in December.

Additionally, the band’s 2 major label releases Jump Start and Shut Your Breathhave both been made available on all digital and streaming platforms for the first time.

The band have released the following video talking about the reformation:

Simon Says formed in the buzzing Sacramento scene of the early 90s, among the ranks of contemporaries like Far, Papa Roach, Will Haven etc, and released their first demo EP in 1994, followed by two independent LPS, the cassette only Little Boy, and the follow-up Perfect Example, which would sell more than 5000 copies, and define the sound that would see the band signed to Hollywood Records a short time later. In 1999 Simon Says released their major label debut Jump Start, which yielded the hit modern rock singles “Life Jacket”, and “Slider”, which both charted in the Top 40 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts.

The band would go on to release their darker and heavier fan favorite sophomore LP Shut Your Breath in 2001, which spawned the single “Blister (Nothing)”, which again found its way onto the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, and saw the band touring Worldwide performing alongside Creed, Staind, Filter, Limp Bizkit, Foo Fighters, Blink 182, Deftones, Monster Magnet, Rollins Band, Kid Rock, Type O Negative, and many more, before disbanding in 2001.

Franks, Diebels, and Arrieta, with drummer Dave Marich, formed the short-lived Key To Arson, which released the independent LP Light ‘Em Up, before disbanding in 2004.

Despite the 20+-year hiatus, the members of Simon Says have stayed active, not veering far from their musical roots, with guitarist Zac Diebels producing music in his Sacramento studio, and dabbling in his project Automatic Static with Simon Saysvocalist Franks, who also plays bass in progressive Sacramento band SAGES, with Far drummer Chris Robyn. Bassist Mike Arrieta had a brief stint in Cleanse, while drummer Mike Johnston found a niche as one of the top internet drum instructors with mikeslessons.com, spawning the celebrated Youtube drum instruction page “mikeslessons” with over 230k followers.

Simon Says will release a 3-song digital EP in early 2024 featuring a brand-new studio track, plus re-recorded and updated versions of an as-yet undisclosed track from Jump Start, and a re-recorded version of “Dyslexic Smile”, a Shut Your Breath B-Side the band was pressured by Disney CEO Michael Eisner and their Disney owned label Hollywood Records, to remove from the record.

The band will follow up with an as-yet untitled full-length LP, tentatively slated to be released in May 2024.

Says vocalist Matt Franks, “It really happened by accident. We got back together and got in a room to even discuss this stuff, because of the huge amount of fan interest in the first two records, which, at the time, were not even available digitally. So, we got together to discuss that, and try to figure out how to reconnect with our former label, Hollywood, and find a path to release for those records, which really sparked a renewed interest and friendship for all of us, after getting in the same room after so long.”

He adds, “As so much time had passed, you realize hurt feelings from 20 years ago don’t really matter anymore, and I think we all have kind of a renewed appreciation and respect for each other, and the ability for us to even be able to play music together. We’re just thankful there are so many fans still pulling for us, and looking forward to whatever new experiences this next chapter will bring, for us, and the fans.”

MIND INCISION Releases New Single, "The Awakening"!

Metal MIND INCISION has released their newest single, "The Awakening." Continuing their socially responsible themes, "The Awakening" addresses the often ignored and misunderstood landscape of teen and adolescent mental health and suicide risk, and will be accompanied by a new music video set to release in October.

Produced by DAVE OTERO at FLATLINE AUDIO, "The Awakening" is a sonic journey into the depths of consciousness, exploring themes of self-discovery and transformation that are universal. Mind Incision's signature blend of intricate melodies, haunting vocals, and immersive production creates an emotional landscape that is both evocative and inspiring. This release reaffirms the band's commitment to pushing the boundaries of their genre and delivering music that resonates on a profound level.

“'The Awakening' is written for the youth of the 21st century and also written for the prevention of teen suicide. It’s important for us to recognize that our children are living through an immense amount of pressure, bullying, and issues that they should never feel alone dealing with. I brings us a tremendous amount of pride to be able to bring these issues to light, with our new single, and follow it up with a video which touches on these subjects in the most real way possible. Furthermore, we would like to thank everyone that has been a part in the creation of this song, and it’s video, which we expect to release in the coming weeks.

They are NOT alone!” - Jason (Lead Vocals)

Purchase / Stream "The Awakening" Online

The band has also announced the addition of bassist JOEL KARSCHNER, bringing a fresh wave of energy and talent to the group. Replacing the talented AEON CRUZ, who is pursuing her own new opportunities, KARSCHNER comes with an impressive musical background, having previously played with THE CRIMSON RED. The band's decision to welcome KARSCHNER was driven by a shared musical vision and an undeniable chemistry that promises to elevate MIND INCISION'S music to new heights.

“Joel is a great addition to our band! We have known each other for so many years now I was wondering if we would ever run into each other again in the industry. Traditionally, Joel has always played guitar but when we approached him with the idea of doing bass and backing vocals it seemed to spark his interest. We gave him a couple songs and he was really into it, so he came to rehearsal and solidified the deal.” - JASON

“I’ve been out of the music game for a little while now, since TCR actually, but when Jason approached me after running into him at the Mudvayne, Coal Chamber show, I thought I’d give everything a listen and go from there. Once I heard the music and saw what Mind Incision was writing, I knew I wanted to be a part of what they were doing, and knowing I could lend another hand in writing amazing tunes with these guys, I was sure I’d be a good fit, and obviously they agreed!” - JOEL

"It isn’t that there was any bad blood with our former bass player Aeon Cruz, we are all on good terms. But we thought it best to part ways as she seems to be excelling in entertainment through acting. We wish her all the best!" - JASON

MIND INCISION IS:
Jason Neil - Lead Vocals
Jon Maggard - Lead Guitar
Kyle Loucks - rhythm Guitar
Joel Karschner - Bass
Kelly Morse - Drums

Ian Munsick’s “Long Live Cowgirls” Impacts Country Radio 10/23

Deemed one of the genre’s “top-tier waltzes in recent memory” by The Tennessean, Wyoming native Ian Munsick is bringing his sky-high voice and Rocky Mountain influence to country radio with the solo version of his RIAA-Gold certified track “Long Live Cowgirls,” available on DSPs now and impacting country radio on Monday, Oct. 23. 
 
Written by Munsick alongside Aby Gutierrez and Phil O’Donnell, “Long Live Cowgirls” was originally released as a duet alongside Cody Johnson in 2022, painting a vivid and authentic picture of cowgirls that resonated with fans to the tune of over 110 million on-demand streams, the song’s popularity driving it to become a No. 1 hit on SiriusXM The Highway. 
 
Releasing it to country radio this fall, Munsick delivers the song for the first time as fans have heard it on the road, solo with plenty of fiddle and falsetto. 

Reflecting on the journey it took to get here, Munsick shares, "Ten years ago, I set off on a mission to bring the west to the rest. Songs about cowboys, cowgirls, horses, cattle and the rugged ranch lifestyle were few and far between when I was kid listening to the radio back in Wyoming. Slowly but surely, the country music format has started to accept the western brand and I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of that change.

"'Long Live Cowgirls' is more than just a song. It’s an anthemic celebration of the generations of women that conquered the vigorous landscape of the west with passion and grace. The emotion I see and feel from the audience when we play this song live is a constant reminder of why I make music. It has a deeper impact than just three minutes of escapism… the message is one of longevity and prosperity. If that’s not the heart of country music, I don’t know what is."
 
Munsick released his full-length sophomore album White Buffalo earlier this year, earning accolades from Billboard, American Songwriter, People, MusicRow and more. Grammy.com remarked, “Munsick's ability to turn his Western upbringing into relatable sentiments is the epitome of what makes him special… his passion for his homeland — from the culture to the people — rings through in both the lyrics and the musicality.”
 
Munsick performed his new single at Nissan Stadium for CMA Fest and on all shows supporting Morgan Wallen on his One Night At A Time World Tour. His headlining The Buffalo Roams Tour is currently underway, featuring a rotating lineup of special guests including Randall King, Triston Marez, Catie Offerman, Jake Worthington and Chancey Williams.

About Ian Munsick:
A native son of Wyoming, Ian Munsick is painting a stampeding, spirited portrait of the American West with his sophomore album White Buffalo, out now. The 18-track album spans unfiltered tales of romance and ranch life, hard-working anthems with honkytonk hooks and mountain-time odes to family and forever-young fun. It builds upon the spacious roots-pop beauty he introduced on his major label debut, Coyote Cry. Over the past three years, the 30-year-old has accumulated more than half a billion global streams and a host of accolades. He has been named an “Artist to Watch” by Spotify, CMT, Fender, MusicRow and more. A seasoned entertainer, having grown up tending cattle by day and playing music in a family band each night, Munsick toured recently alongside country music superstars Morgan Wallen and Cody Johnson. Beyond his noteworthy professional accomplishments, he has also become both a husband and a father. Now the Warner Music Nashville recording artist and multi-instrumentalist is representing his home, and its special cast of people, like never before. The first release from White Buffalo, standout duet “Long Live Cowgirls” (with Cody Johnson), hit No. 1 on SiriusXM’s The Highway Hot 30 Countdown, was named one of Amazon Music’s Best Country Songs of 2022 and recently received RIAA Gold-certification alongside “Long Haul” off his debut album Coyote Cry. Fans of Ian Munsick will always find an open heart, natural awe and plainspoken honesty as he rides on… bringing the West to the rest.

TRACK45 SHARES POIGNANT MENTAL HEALTH ANTHEM “WHEN I GROW UP” IN HONOR OF SUICIDE PREVENTION WEEK

Suicide is the third leading cause of death in the US among people between ages 15 and 24. While the stigma around seeking help for suicidal thoughts and mental health issues has decreased, some people still don’t know where to turn in their darkest moments.

Today (9.15), in honor of Suicide Prevention Week, rising country sibling trio Track45 offers a hopefulmessage to young people struggling with mental health with “When I Grow Up.”

Listen to “When I Grow Up” here. 

“When I Grow Up” was written by Track45’s Ben, Jenna and KK Johnson alongside Jonny Price (Tim McGraw, Keith Urban) and Jaida Dreyer (Reba McEntire, Brantley Gilbert). The song is a tribute to those who have lost their life to mental health battles, and a reminder that many people’s struggles go unseen. It’s a message of solidarity for those who feel alone in their trials.

“When I Grow Up is for anyone who feels like they’re alone in what they’re going through,” says Track45. “If you’ve ever been in a dark place, or had someone close to you struggle with mental illness, it can feel isolating — especially when you’re young. Hopefully this song will create a space where people can hear their own stories in this song and feel seen.”

Track45 will share a video for the song at 11 AM CT today on its YouTube channel.

“When I Grow Up” follows the band’s ‘Grew Up On’ EP, which was released on 7.14 and featured songslike the “churning, blasting track” (MusicRow) “Drinkin’ And Thinkin’.” Listen to ‘Grew Up On’ here.

The group behind songs recorded by Justin Timberlake, John Legend, Lauren Alaina, Kylie Morgan and more will release more new music in the near future.

About Track45:

Sibling trio Track45 – Jenna, Ben, and KK Johnson from Meridian, MS – have taken family-based, small-town values and made them relevant in a modern world. The trio’s crystalline harmonies and track-charged musicianship sound current yet classic as they draw from their assorted country, rock, R&B, and pop playlists. Each is a gifted songwriter and musician with individual publishing deals and impressive writing credits – including Justin Timberlake, Charlie Puth, Dierks Bentley, Weezer, Lee Brice, HARDY, and Lauren Alaina. Their combined hopes and passion for music can be heard in every note of their dream big sound. After receiving over 1.8 million views on their version of the global hit “Family” that the rising country trio wrote alongside Billy Mann, the band released their rendition of the song, which was originally made famous by David Guetta and Bebe Rexha. Following “Family,” the band reflected on their youth and the traditions that they’ll never outgrow on the 6-track EP ‘Grew Up On’ (7.14 via BBR Music Group / Stoney Creek Records). Featuring title track “Grew Up On” (6.16) and the band’s cheeky “Last Man In Tennessee” (4.21), which “packs a punch like a shot of sawdust and whiskey” (American Songwriter), the EP intertwines the siblings’ blood harmony “perfection” (MusicRow) while telling the nostalgic story of never outgrowing what you “grew up on.” The band’s poignant new suicide awareness anthem “When I Grow Up” is out now.

OG Thrashers Angry Corpses Release New Single "Always Right Guy" feat. Dirty Walt from Fishbone + Official Music Video via Upstate Records

OG thrashers ANGRY CORPSES released their new single "Always Right Guy"featuring Dirty Walt from Fishbone along with the official music video today via Upstate Records. The single is from their forthcoming EP Resurrected. The band will be heading out on The Resurrected Tour in support of the single beginning September 27th in Albany Ny at Fuzebox.

Donny Polinske states, “This song was a lot of fun to create. Tim had the idea for this song for a while and when we got Dirty Walt on board to do guest vocals and Larry to add the extra layer of guitars, this song was sent into the next realm. It has great thrash crossover feel that I think the fans will really get into when they hear it.”

Angry Corpses was originally formed in 1985 by bassist Kenny Ballone. Tim McMurtrie joined in 1986 and the two solidified a bond that would help push Angry Corpses as an established legacy band that predates the crossover thrash revolution in the early to mid-1980’s that spawned legendary acts such as Cro-Mags, Leeway and DRI. Kenny and Tim would soon put Angry Corpses on the back burner as they focused their attention on MOD and the crossover scene with MOD classic releases “USA for MOD” and “Rhythm of Fear” in 1987 and 1992, respectively, on the legendary Megaforce Records.

Fast-forward to 2016, Ken Ballone and Tim McMurtrie found themselves back together again and in position to reignite the classic MOD sound with a fresh perspective and new attitude. Adding Primer 55 vocalist, Donny Polinske, MOD ClassicTK was born. MOD ClassicTK went on to release “The Thrash King” single in 2019 and the H8 EP in 2021 through Force 5 Records, featuring tracks by legendary scene drummers, Felix Griffin of D.R.I and James DeMaria of Heathen.

After setting the foundation for this new project, Tim and Ken decided to return to their roots and resurrect their original band name, Angry Corpses under the advice of long time friend, Jon Zazula of Megaforce Records. Sticking to the classic crossover thrash formula, Tim McMurtrie recruited Walter “Monsta” Ryan (Powerhouse) as well as Murphy's Law and Kings Never Die guitarist, Larry “The Hunter” Nieroda (Murphy’s Law) to write and record five new tracks for their upcoming EP, Resurrected on New York’s Upstate Records. Resurrected includes guest vocals by hardcore superstar Danny Diablo (Skarhead/Crown of Thornz), Dirty Walt (Fishbone) and legendary NYC rapper Cappadonna (Wu-Tang Clan).

Randall King Releases “Burns Like Her” Amid European Tour Proving Pain is Universal Language

As Randall King readied a new release this week, he was a long way from Amarillo, Texas – the closest big city for the Hereford native. Following shows in Gstaad, Glasgow, Manchester and London, the “You In A Honky Tonk,” and “Hey Cowgirl” singer takes the stage in a few hours for his first-ever show in Cologne, Germany, on the tailend of a run spanning two weeks in Europe, complete with sellouts and plenty of schlager. 

Sharing his excitement on the release of "Burns Like Her" and his tour underway, the man who’ll play over 200 shows this year alone shares, "Got another new one y’all! Gotta say this one is different in a great way. Had a lot of fun with my co-producer puttin that edge on this one! Got the steel burnin just like her & the drank.
 
“Country music is the people’s music, and taking it to the people wherever they are is what makes this so much fun. Whenever we’ve got a new song, we play it for them first, and ‘Burns Like Her’ tipped her hat early as one we needed to get out sooner-rather-than-later.” 
 
Written by Adam James, Greylan James and Mikey Reaves, “Burns Like Her” depicts the irresistible sensation of wanting someone so much it hurts, and is the latest release off his highly-anticipated upcoming 2024 album.
 
        She’s a night in California
        She’s a cigarette and I’m the vinyl seat
        She’s blacktop in Arizona
        And I’m hitchhiking at high noon on bare feet
 
“For a kid that grew up singing the late, great Keith Whitley’s ‘Living Like There’s No Tomorrow,’ if I’m gonna sing about pain then the lyrics gotta put you right there with me. It’s everything I love about Country music: storytelling, visuals, a two-stepping tempo with an intro that invites you to come on in, regardless of the burn. 
 
“For fans of ours who’ve cried on ‘Around Forever,’ or sat in a smoky bar and recognized themselves in ‘Mirror, Mirror,’ ‘Burns Like Her’ is for you.” 
 
See King at Austin City Limits Music Festival (Oct. 8 and Oct. 15), or visit RandallKingMusic.com for full tour details.

About Randall King:
One of country’s new crop of modern traditionalists, Warner Music Nashville artist Randall King grew up on the endless plains of West Texas – and his sound is steeped in their timeless beauty with a mix of grit and grace. He grew up singing in the back of a ‘93 Chevy Suburban, mimicking the pure-country vocals of stars like Keith Whitley, George Strait, Alan Jackson and John Anderson and over the years became drawn to the electrifying energy of modern stars like Eric Church, Dierks Bentley and Jason Aldean. After years of hustling and a road-warrior’s diet of 150 shows each year, King produced and released the defiant 2016 EP, Another Bullet, then followed up with a 2018 self-titled album. Now, King is bringing an organic, timeless sound to the mainstream with his major label debut album Shot Glass. The 11-song collection, seven of which were co-written by King, centers around a night out at a bar, with each track representing a different point of view of those in the room. The album was named to Whiskey Riff’s Top 40 Country Albums of 2022 and Billboard’s All Genre 50 Best Albums of 2022 (So Far), making him the only male country artist to make the list. With over 200+ million career streams to his name, the 2023 Music Mayhem Magazine and 2022 Pandora and Country NowCountry Artist to Watch is looking to the anywhere-and-everywhere future with music that captures the essence of a Western poet who’s never been afraid to be himself.

EIVØR Signs with Season of Mist

Season of Mist is proud to welcome Eivør to our label!

Eivør has come a long way. She was born and raised in Syðrugøta, a tiny coastal village on the northern part of the Faroe Islands. This icy and windswept backdrop still ripples behind her boundless vocals, which have led her to become one of the most acclaimed artists in the Nordic world.

Just like her inspirations Björk and Sigur Rós, Eivør has won the Icelandic Music Prize more than once, along with multiple Danish Music Folk Awards and the 2021 Nordic Council Music Prize. Her combination of dark electronica and Faroese folk have racked up close to a billion streams, sold out tours in Europe and the United States and soundtracked God of War Ragnarök and Netflix's flagship series The Last Kingdom.   

But don't just take our word for it. Metal Hammer described her voice as "stunning, classically-trained...going from glorious to demonic in a flash", while Prog compared her electronic beats and "spine-tingling" vocals to Portishead and Kate Bush.       

"My team and I are incredibly proud and excited to work with Season of Mist," Eivør says. "After a few years of self-releasing my music, I am very much looking forward to becoming part of the SOM family and to all the new adventures that lay ahead. 

"We are equally thrilled to partner with Doomstar Bookings on all our upcoming live shows. An exciting run of 2024 concerts is coming soon!"  

Be on the lookout for announcements about Eivør's next album, which will come out in 2024.

EIVØR is an artist perfectly attuned to the savage vicissitudes of nature. Born & raised in Syðrugøta (population: 453), a tiny community on one of the northerly Faroe Islands, the singer-songwriter grew up surrounded by a harsh, windswept landscape and the North Atlantic, a rugged backdrop that has, unsurprisingly, deeply influenced the music she creates.  

With ten studio albums under her belt, as well as numerous collaborations with artists including Àsgeir, John Grant, Einar Selvik (Wardruna) and Dan Heath (Lana Del Ray) Eivør can be considered to be one of the most eclectic artists of the Nordics and one of the most mesmerizing live vocalists of her generation.

The winner of the 2021 Nordic Council Music prize and awarded twice with the Icelandic Music Price, multiple Danish Music Folk Awards, as well as the Faroese Music Award, Eivør is part of a new wave of Nordic artists rapidly building passionate international fan bases with music that honours their ancient cultural & musical folklore. At last count, Eivør’s music has been streamed close to 1 billion times and she has been playing sell out tours in both Scandinavia, Europe and the US. 

Eivør also soundtracks and features on all seasons of the flagship Netflix hit series The Last Kingdom (co-written with Ivor Novello/BAFTA-nominated John Lunn.) 

The new official The Last Kingdom album ‘Destiny Is All’ – written and produced by John Lunn, Eivør and Danny Saul, was released earlier this year. Eivør also recently featured on the God of War Ragnarök score and on the soundtrack to the hit video game and performed at the 10 year Game Awards anniversary show at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles in June.  

Eivør is currently working on a new album, to be released in 2024.

CLASSIC HALFORD TITLES TO BE RELEASED ON VINYL FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER

t is universally agreed that one of the greatest heavy metal vocalists of all-time is Rob Halford – who is often referred to as the “Metal God” due to his distinctive, multi-octave singing voice, and his larger-than-life, leather n' studs persona. 
 
While best-known as the long-time singer of Judas Priest, Halford has also launched his own successful solo career. And now, two of his classic solo efforts will be issued on vinyl for the first time ever – Crucible and Made of Metal. 
 
Both will be issued in several limited edition color variants – Crucible in the colors black (900 units), neon violet (500), ghostly purple (500), and black purple/navy splatter (100), while Made of Metal will be issued in black (900), white (500), coronetto (500), and ghostly (100). A limited number of copies of each variant will be personally signed by Rob Halford.  
 
“I am really proud to see these two Halford band records released on vinyl for the first time,” says the Metal God. “My fans will love the packaging and care that went into these re-issues.”
 
Both albums were produced by Roy Z. 2002’s Crucible spawned such headbanging favorites as “Betrayal” and the title track (and saw Halford joined by Metal Mike Chlasciak – guitar, Patrick Lachman – guitar, Ray Riendeau – bass, and Bobby Jarzombek – drums), while 2010’s Made of Metal gave us “Till the Day I Die” and “Fire and Ice” (and saw both Chlasciak and Jarzombek returning, as well as bassist Mike Davis and
Roy Z providing additional guitar work).
 
With vinyl’s popularity at an all-time high, these two vintage metal masterpieces by the Metal God will undoubtedly be highly sought after by collectors – grab them while you can!

“On the follow-up to this monumental release he continues down the same path, his vocals are as focused and exceptional as they have ever been. ‘Crucible’ keeps things fresh, as a result, this is yet another classic metal album for the next generation.” –AllMusic

“The teeth-rattling power of ‘Made of Metal’ stands out, but this is a record – and a man – to be heard and appreciated in full.” –Classic Rock Magazine

PLEASE NOTE 
Manic Vision Records is re-releasing these albums. These re-issues will not be sold in stores and will be exclusively available on Rob Halford’s official merchandise store located at VisionMerch.com/Halford

Earshot's signature, driving, hard rock beats coupled with hook-laden harmonies are matched only by their unbridled creativity and willingness to experiment with musical textures and themes – elements that had captivated fans’ attention in the band’s early days and continue to do so today.

The genesis of lead vocalists, Wil Martin, with then members (Bassist) Guy Couturier, (Drummer) Dieter Hartman and (Guitarist) Scott Kohler– the Los Angeles-based band quickly shot to success after signing with Warner Bros. Records in 2002. They released their debut album LETTING GO(produced by David Kahne and mixed by Andy Wallace).

Upon its release, the band quickly found themselves on the road touring constantly with such notable rock acts such as Kid Rock, Staind, Shinedown, Hooabstank and Stone Temple Pilotsto support the record.

This national exposure, combined with an aggressive radio campaign, pushed their debut single “Get Away” to #4 on the U.S. Active Rock Radio Charts where it stayed in the Top 100 for over 64 weeks. At the same time, Earshot’s hit song “Headstrong” was featured on The Queen of The Damned soundtrack alongside other artists such as Disturbed, Deftones and Marilyn Manson,further cementing their place among rock’s elite.

However, it wasn’t until the band’s sophomore album TWO (produced by Johnny K. and mixed by Rich Costey), released by Warner Bros. Records, that they would hit mainstream success with their single “Wait.” It not only reached #9 on U.S. Active Rock Radio but was also featured on the Madden NFL 2005 and MX vs. ATV Unleashed video game soundtracks.

With three chart-topping albums under their belts and a rigorous seven years of touring and recording, Earshot took a hiatus after the release of THE SILVER LINING. Yet after a nearly decade-long break they emerged producing their long-awaited fourth studio recording AFTERMATH (produced by Wil Martin and mixed by Sam Hughes), a five-song EP featuring an intimate, re-recorded acoustic performance of “Fall Apart,” previously released on the band’s second and most beloved album TWO, as well as the release of the album’s first single "Now That It's Over."

Through the epic highs and lows of the music industry as well as life in general, Earshot once again reactivated in 2019 with four new members: Aaron Fink, the former lead guitarist for Platinum-selling Breaking Benjamin, bassist John Novak from the alternative rock band Down To Six, and drummer Mike Sylvia.

Regardless of the trends, trials and tribulations, Earshot has always remained true to themselves and continue to produce music that their fans can relate to on a deeper level, beginning with their remake of Alanis Morrisette’s “Uninvited” and their first single of 2021, “Been A Long Time”which was the #2 MOST ADDED on the Billboard (BDS) Mainstream Rock Indicator chart,reaching the Top 20 Billboard Mainstream and Active Rock Charts.

Earshot is:
Wil Martin - vocals / guitar
Aaron Fink - guitars
John Novak - bass
Michael Sylvia - drums

Pierce The Veil Share "12 Fractures" (Feat. chloe moriondo) Video

FALL 2023 HEADLINE TOUR WITH L.S. DUNES, DAYSEEKER, + DESTROY BOYS KICKS OFF IN NOVEMBER

 THE JAWS OF LIFE OUT NOW VIA FEARLESS RECORDS

Platinum-selling powerhouse Pierce The Veil — guitarist/vocalist Vic Fuentes, guitarist Tony Perry, and bassist Jaime Preciado — have shared the video for their new single "12 Fractures" video.

The song and video feature singer-songwriter chloe moriondo. 

The video features Fuentes and moriondo walking down a crowded city street towards one another, as the song plays out. It captures the feeling of wondering about your place in the universe. Watch what happens when Fuentes and moriondo actually meet!

Watch the video below.

"This song is a true story about watching two best friends break up," Fuentes shares. "It's about the slow crumbling of love and how tiny fractures can eventually turn into breaks in a relationship. It also describes the tragic aftermath of choosing sides, possessions, and even friends to take with you as you move on. It's a time capsule about a moment in our lives. The addition of Chloe moriondo's angelic voice and personality to really brought the whole story to life and illuminated both character's perspectives. It wouldn't be the same without her."

"Working with Vic was such a dream," moriondo says. "It was such a sweet and fun honor. I loved filming on the street with him and the crew— it was a really awesome experience that I'm so excited is finally able to be enjoyed by everyone!"

The track appears on the new album The Jaws of Life — Pierce the Veil's first full-length in seven years — in February via longtime label Fearless Records. Get it here.

"12 Fractures" follows "Emergency Contact," which landed at No. 1 at alternative radio — a first for the band in their lengthy history.

The Jaws of Life marked a welcome return for PTV, with press praise pouring in from Rolling Stone, Uproxx, Huffington Post, Gawker, and MTV, among others.

PTV will also embark on their Fall 2023 North American in November. The Jaws Of Life Tour kicks off on November 4 in Sacramento and runs through December 8 in San Diego.

ABOUT PIERCE THE VEIL:
Pierce The Veil have debuted atop Billboard’s Top Rock Albums, Alternative Albums, and Hard Rock Albums charts twice — first with Collide with the Sky (2012) and its follow-up, Misadventures (2016). A decade after its release, the already-platinum "King for a Day" shot to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hard Rock Streaming chart, driven by the viral #KingForADay hashtag on TikTok. Even with two gold singles; a gold album; 2023 could be their biggest year. Because this is the year of The Jaws of Life.
 
The band Rolling Stone once described as "hyperactive, progressive post-hardcore," returns with album number five, and it’s full of fuzzy guitars, massive melodic hooks, and PTV’s distinct emotional heart. The Jaws of Life is Pierce The Veil at their most raw, crackling with urgency and immediacy. Never predictable, always engaging, Pierce The Veil continue to soar on the strength of highly potent energy, rich musicality, and a scrappy sense of authentic exuberant ambition that's frankly unrivaled. Vic Fuentes, Tony Perry, and Jaime Preciado put volatile, angsty, confessional emotions into the music, which is why their songs resonant with so many. "No matter where the band performs, fans will show up," wrote Loudwire. "When you see Pierce The Veil live, you'll understand why."
 
PTV’s evolution from album to album is nothing less than stunning. The early buzz generated by A Flair for the Dramatic (2007) made its follow-up one of the most anticipated albums of 2010. Selfish Machines shot to No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. The Chicago Tribune saluted Collide with the Sky for its “post-hardcore punk with more than a few nods to Queen.” They became a true arena act on Misadventures, selling out huge venues without losing the intimate connection with their fans.
 
Pierce the Veil have long cemented their status as one of the most exciting and relevant acts in their genre — by constantly evolving. With their new album The Jaws of Life debuted at No. 1 on the Hard Music Chart, as well is in the Top 3 of the Rock, Alternative, Independent, Vinyl, and Album Sales charts upon release. The album also received press accolades from Rolling Stone, Uproxx, Gawker, The Huffington Post, and Associated Press. The single "Emergency Contact" landed in the Top 5 at Alternative Radio, while selling out tours with I Prevail and The Used. They've tallied over 2 billion streams and 500 million YouTube and have earned multiple Gold and Platinum RIAA certifications — proving that growth is a constant for them!
 
The Jaws of Life was produced by Paul Meany (Twenty One Pilots, Yungblud, and Walk The Moon), and mixed by Adam Hawkins (Machine Gun Kelly, Turnstile, Twenty One Pilots). Deadly serious subject matter abounds, but Pierce The Veil enduringly navigates it all with grace. The lyrics continue the Fuentes tradition of painstaking honesty and clever twists of phrase. Pierce The Veil performs at the biggest festivals and is counted among the biggest and brightest of a younger generation of bands. But it all starts with the songs. The Jaws of Life is filled with the kind to keep the PTV fire burning forever. 

Scotty McCreery Celebrates RIAA Certification for 'It Matters to Her'

On the heels of earning the most first week adds of his career (120) with his latest single "Cab in a Solo," Triple Tigers recording artist Scotty McCreery celebrated another career milestone during his Grand Ole Opry appearance last night -- Gold Certification from the RIAA for his most recent hit "It Matters to Her." Written by McCreery with veteran Music City songwriters Rhett Akins and Lee Thomas Miller, the song captures lessons learned during his first four years of marriage to wife, Gabi. 
 
"I am thankful to my fans and my team anytime a song of mine is certified Gold," shared McCreery. "I don’t take it for granted. But, to be presented a Gold album plaque for 'It Matters to Her' on the Grand Ole Opry stage is something I will always treasure."
 
With another RIAA certification under his belt and the release of his new single, the country crooner launches a new chapter in his career just as he approaches his 30th birthday next month. Having spent almost half his life making country music, the North Carolina native continues to push himself creatively as well as personally. Stream "Cab in a Solo" HERE.
 
Written by McCreery, Frank Rogers and Brent Anderson and produced by Rogers, Derek Wells, and Aaron Eshuis, “Cab in a Solo” offers the first taste of new music from McCreery since the release of his 2021 album Same Truck.
 
Upon its release, Taste of Country declared “McCreery’s country roots shine.” With a hint of neotraditional country and dash of 90’s country nostalgia, the heartbreak track finds the happily married father in unfamiliar territory – lamenting a failed relationship.

"Cab in a Solo" follows the recent success of “It Matters to Her” the fastest climbing single of McCreery’s career. The singer/songwriter has earned five consecutive No. 1 hits in the last few years including RIAA Platinum-certified No. 1 “Damn Strait” and RIAA Gold-certified No. 1 “You Time,” all found on Same Truck: The Deluxe Album. 
 
Earlier this summer McCreery joined the Brooks & Dunn REBOOT Tour 2023. He is currently out on the road for his own headlining tour with 25+ dates through the fall.
 
McCreery is among six inductees in the 2023 class scheduled to be enshrined in the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame during the annual induction ceremony this fall. The induction ceremony will take place on Thursday, October 19, 2023 at the Mooresville Performing Arts Center in Mooresville, N.C. VIP and General Reserved tickets are available HERE.

TO THE GRAVE Release New 'Offcuts' EP And 'Director's Cuts' Deluxe

t's release day for Australian deathcore juggernauts and avid animal rights campaigners, To The Grave, who have officially unleashed their new digital EP ‘Offcuts’ along with the deluxe edition of latest album ‘Director’s Cuts’.

‘Offcuts’ is available now as a digital-only EP featuring 6 brand new songs plus the band’s cover of Enter Shikari’s “Anesthetist” which is only available on the digital EP release. These new tracks are also included on the expansive deluxe edition ‘Director’s Cuts (Deluxe)’, out today as a double disc, gatefold vinyl and on CD. Listen to both on streaming and order physical copiesHERE. Watch the full 'Offcuts' EP visualizer stream below.

Speaking on their new release, the band share:

"OFFCUTS is a collection of songs we had gotten to the finish line when creating Director's Cuts last year that we felt didn't quite match the grit of the album and had more of a fun approach in parts. We pulled them out of the album sequence and added a couple of other extras we'd been wanting to experiment with for a while. We're glad we found a way to rescue these from the cutting room floor, they were some of our favorites from the album process and we're very excited to share them with everyone now."

To The Grave are one of the most uncompromising and outspoken bands in the deathcore scene today. Hailing from Sydney, Australia, they combine crushing riffs, blast beats and guttural vocals with a strong sense of social justice and animal rights activism. They released their debut album ‘Global Warning’ in 2019, which received praise from fans and critics alike for its ferocity and honesty. They followed it up with ‘Epilogue’ in 2021, a massive 19-track album that cemented their reputation as one of the most exciting and innovative bands in the genre. They then released ‘Director’s Cuts’ earlier this year, a groundbreaking album that pushed the boundaries of deathcore with cinematic, horror movie inspired music videos and diverse soundscapes. The album spawned singles "Red Dot Sight", "Axe Of Kindness", "Cut Off The Head" and "Found Footage" the music videos for which have racked up 420,000 views on YouTube between them with the album hitting 2.68 million streams and counting across streaming platforms.

To The Grave have a stacked touring schedule for the rest of this year. They are currently rounding out their European run with Signs Of The Swarm and Humanity's Last Breath and will then be heading to the US to support Carnifex on their Necromantium US Tour with Signs of The Swarm and The Last Ten Seconds Of Life and a handful of US/Canada shows supporting Signs of The Swarm.

ABOUT TO THE GRAVE

One of Australia’s most uncompromising bands, To The Grave return with their heaviest album to date, both sonically and thematically. Since the release of their 2019 debut album 'Global Warning', the caustic five piece have garnered international success, with 2021’s follow-up 'Epilogue', a re-issue of 'Global Warning' with bonus tracks, solidifying their position as “one of the country's heaviest exports.” (Revolver).

To The Grave have steadily built an audience in the underground, accumulating more than 11 million Spotify streams, racking up over 5.4 million YouTube views, all whilst decimating live audiences alongside Parkway Drive, Polaris, Cattle Decapitation, Thy Art Is Murder, Shadow of Intent, Angelmaker, Enterprise Earth, Vulvodynia and Alpha Wolf.

Now, following a sold-out national headline tour in 2022, global critical acclaim for the release of 'Director's Cuts', a new EP and plenty of touring for the remainder of 2023, the band are more focused than ever.

To The Grave lyrically expose a societal and environmental hell on earth whilst pushing the boundaries of accessible extremity, full of barbed hooks, thick with atmosphere and drenched in groove. Razor-sharp guitars played with an exploratory approach - blending everything from whammy pedal squeaks and chiming cleans to death metal chainsaw tones - are entwined with live drums to give a level of dynamism that musically sets this band apart from the extreme metal pack, yet they maintain the weight of the heaviest bands today. Vocalist Dane Evans commands a multifaceted performance, bursting with vocal energy from throat-ripping dissonant screeches to low end gutturals. 

To The Grave are

Dane Evans - Vocals

Jack Simoni - Guitars, Programming

Luke Ringin - Guitars, Vocals

Matt Clarke - Bass, Vocals

Simon O’Malley - Drums, Vocals

SiM Unleash New Single + Music Video For "KiSS OF DEATH" From Upcoming New Album 'PLAYDEAD' Out September 27 (via UNFD)

Prepare for a sonic adventure as Japanese genre-blending powerhouse SiM has dropped their new single and music video, "KiSS OF DEATH", which premiered on Crunchyroll earlier today. Seamlessly blending hard rock, reggae, and pop-punk, "KiSS OF DEATH" is taken from the band's upcoming new album 'PLAYDEAD' (out on September 27 (via UNFD). Speaking on the inspiration for the track, SiM vocalist Mah commented:

"Those of you who’ve read the Japanese translation may be sharp enough to have noticed but the hook. “Play back, play back” is a parody of Momoe Yamaguchi’s “Playback Part 2”, a masterpiece from Japanese pop music.

Speaking of the title “KiSS OF DEATH”, the famous story is of Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus Christ. He becomes the “symbol of betrayal” in the episode where he kisses him and identifies him as Jesus Christ, sending a sign to the enemy soldiers.  

But my version of the “KiSS OF DEATH” is... Rougela’s “Devil’s Kiss” (Akuma’s Kiss) from Pokemon (LOL). (In the overseas version, Rougela’s known as Jynx / Lovely Kiss is its power. Feels strange...)The lyrics describe a scenario where you are walking and suddenly a female vampire appears and gives you a “Devil's Kiss”, causing you to fall asleep while she drinks your blood."

SiM has previously released "RED" (theme song for the latest season of Netflix anime series 'Kengan Ashura'), "DO THE DANCE", "HiDE and SEEK" and most recently, "Sad Song" which altogether have clocked up over 1.3 million streams and counting on Spotify alone. Watch the music video for "KiSS OF DEATH" in the thumbnail below, stream the track here, and pre-save 'PLAYDEAD' here.

Fans can still catch SiM's inimitable high-energy live show on the road with Dance Gavin Dance, Rain City Drive, and Within Destruction. For ticket information please click here, and be sure to stay tuned for more SiM news coming soon.
