intervals Drops New Track + Official Visualizer "nootropic" From Upcoming Album 'memory palace' Out May 17

Innovative instrumental metal powerhouse intervals have dropped their new track "nootropic" and the official visualizer today. Fans attending recent intervals shows got a special sneak peek of the song, which can be found on the band's upcoming new album 'memory palace' set for release on Friday, May 17. When asked about the inspiration behind today's release, intervals mastermind Aaron Marshall shared:

“'nootropic' is the first tune that came out of the brain/hands when I started writing for the new record, and I’m super stoked to roll this one out! We’ve been playing it on tour over the past month and it’s been getting a really strong pop live, so I can’t wait for everyone to hear the recorded version. With this being the third single out from 'memory palace', this should give everyone an idea of the range of sounds happening on the record!”

Prior to today, intervals released "mnemonic" and most recently, "neurogenesis" featuring the acclaimed genre-blending electronic duo KOAN Sound, as well as guitar playthroughs for both (linked here and here, respectively). Pre-save 'memory palace' at the link here, stream "nootropic" here, and watch the visualizer below.

intervals exist as the unbound and unapologetic creative expression of Aaron Marshall. The progressive guitar rock faithful revere Marshall for his virtuoso chops and melodic prowess in equal measure. His distinctive character and musical personality shine throughout the heady, catchy, and transcendent instrumental compositions found across the ever-growing catalog of intervals albums. 

The music is a window into the Toronto, Ontario, guitarist’s mind, body, and soul. Songs like “Libra”, “5-HTP”, “Belvedere”, “I’m Awake”, and “mnemonic” rank among the most popular in the genre. Metal Injection describes intervals as “catchy-as-hell shred.” Sonic Perspectives declared the band’s fourth album, 2020’s 'Circadian', “strikes the perfect balance between shred, songwriting, and melody.”

A trio of gifted touring and recording musicians surround Marshall as they collectively share intervals’ songs with the world: drummer Nathan Bulla, bassist Jacob Mansky, and guitarist Travis LeVrier. They consistently stun audiences, including on celebrated treks with Spiritbox, TesseracT, Animals As Leaders, Polyphia, Periphery, Protest The Hero, and Between The Buried And Me. 

The earliest intervals offerings, including two EPs and 2014’s full-length debut, A Voice Within (the sole album with lead vocals), were decidedly heavy and aggressive. Heralded by MetalSucks as “fantastic” and “lacking virtually nothing,” 2015’s The Shape of Colour ventured in a new direction. intervals' fourth album was appropriately titled The Way Forward. “Employing many of the same techniques as technical progressive metal but in a major-key, upbeat framework has been intervals’ calling card,” wrote Metal Hammer. “[The Way Forward] is a purer distillation of [Marshall’s] aim.”  

Circadian marked intervals’ first collaboration with Sam Guiana (Silverstein, Neck Deep, Holding Absence). memory palace brilliantly celebrates the best of intervals’ past, present, and future. The album is diverse, uplifting, and crushingly heavy. Also produced by Guaiana, memory palace includes collaborations with KOAN Sound (“neurogenesis”), J3PO (“galaxy brain”), and OBLVYN (“lacuna”). 

Fiercely independent and precision-focused but never lacking in uplifting vibe and fun, intervals continues to grow from Marshall’s strong roots in authenticity, instinct, and trusting one’s gut. - Ryan Downey

PAIN Share New Single "Push The Pusher"

NEW ALBUM I AM OUT MAY 17 VIA NUCLEAR BLAST

Today, PAIN release their new single "Push The Pusher." Stream the song here.

Demonstrating their ability to blend electro grooves with fist-pumping rock, this track is presented with a stunning clip made by a dedicated video team, Midjourney and AI tools. All images in the video are generated by AI and animated by two artists: Dmitry Alekseev and Sergey Kozlov, who created this special video in 2.5 months. The creators worked with a unique method, and developed this masterpiece for "Push The Pusher."

PAIN are back and prove to be more innovative, entertaining, and daring than ever before.

The new album I Am, will be released on May 17 via Nuclear Blast Records. Pre-order it here.

Peter Tägtgren comments, "'Push The Pusher' was the first song I started working on after 'PIMH.' I was hungry for distortion and stomp, to create an industrial feeling again. Lyrics-wise, it's really about me, as I've heard more then half of my life..to grow up."

The video premiere is set for April 12 at 1 pm ET. Click below to watch it.

ABOUT PAIN:
 It's 2021 and a pandemic is strangling the world — and no one seems to be having fun.

Seemingly tireless music freak Peter Tägtgren couldn't care less as he hits the jackpot with — pardon the harsh language — a fucking catchy... well, party anthem. We are of course talking about the song "Party in My Head" by Tägtgren's synth-infused metal project PAIN.

"I don't really know what it is about 'Party in My Head' that made - still makes - people go crazy for it... But what I do know for sure is that the song has already been enjoyed millions and millions of times. The numbers are pretty crazy! Of course, PAIN is no stranger to writing danceable and catchy, albeit metallic shit... it's always been in the DNA of this project. But let's face it: If the world really needs 'party anthems' from a cynical geezer like me, something's seriously wrong," Peter laughs.

Our beloved planet may be screwed, but there still doesn't seem to be much wrong in PAIN's world as 2024 ticks fast on the calendar. There simply can't be, because PAIN's eagerly awaited new studio album I Am is soon here — yes, after eight years of devoted waiting.

"The previous record Coming Home came out in 2016 and of course there was a tour after that. In 2019, I released an album called F & M with Rammstein singer Till Lindemann, a project I left in 2020. In 2021, it was time for my death metal band Hypocrisy to get active with a new album Worship and of course we toured again. If that wasn't enough, let's add that there was a studio album with Joe Lynn Turner in 2022... In other words: the last eight years have passed in the blink of an eye," Peter sighs.

"After all this, it was the perfect time for PAIN to go full force again. I felt excited to say the least. Needless to say, the success of 'Party in My Head' gave the album process an explosive start!"

Let's get one thing straight: the powerful-sounding I Am is truly a versatile — if not the most versatile — musical missile in PAIN's rich discography. The new songs go everywhere with heavy industrial riffs, haunting melancholic vibes, and groove-filled rhythms, without forgetting surprises, of course.

"There's no boundaries with PAIN. I just get an interesting idea for a song and along the way it can turn into anything. Sometimes, I also like to deliberately surprise people by following an exciting musical path where unexpected things happen," Peter describes.

"If I had one big goal this time, it was to add more intensity and edge to the songs. 'Coming Home' turned out great, but looking back now, I was maybe a little too deep into my 'David Bowie worship' with the orchestral stuff and the acoustic guitars. This time around, I definitely wanted more tempo, aggressiveness, and an industrial atmosphere. Going back towards the old times of PAIN? Maybe a bit..."

He continues, "'I Am' is also more of a family affair than ever before. My son Sebastian, also a PAIN drummer,  wrote the music of 'Revolution' and 'Don't Wake the Dead.' These absorbing songs add width to an already versatile album. All in all, completing I Am required a lot of composing, writing, thinking, experimenting, doing, and re-doing. It was a long and sometimes challenging process, but never painful!"

Speaking of surprises... What song will give fans the biggest wow effect this time?

"It must be 'Go With the Flow.' I dare to insist that when it starts rolling, even the deep connoisseurs of PAIN music are wondering what the heck is going on here. I would say it's my 'Depeche Mode in the 80s' song," Peter laughs. "Lyrically, 'Go With the Flow' represents a slightly brighter moment in the darkness. I always tend to think that everything is going to hell, but with this song I tell myself, 'Come on dude, let things be for once and go with the flow.'"

There may be these rare rays of light from the beacon, but darkness still prevails.

"The album's title track starts with the line 'There's no hope in the valley of death.' And if I look at the lyrics, I could dig up a lot other examples of similar sinister moods. But hey, a sarcastic guy like me and such gloomy times we live in... Are you expecting some sunny faces here? Well, sunny or not, PAIN is going to be busy for the foreseeable future. There will be a lot of touring to support the record — summer festivals, extensive tours here and there, and more," Peter says.

He finishes, "And what about the future anyway? Ask me again in eight years and there have been a few studio albums from different bands, a lot of gigs and something else. Yes, I am what I Am..."

Kenny Chesney’s Blue Chair Bay® Salutes Summer w NEW Lime Rum!

With Kenny Chesney getting ready to take it wide open on his wildly anticipated Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour, with five stadiums in three cities already sold out, the easy-going songwriter/superstar adds something fresh, special and perfect for kicking back with friends. Whether mojitos, daquiris, coladas or a rum-based margarita, Blue Chair Bay® Lime Rum is an exemplary starting point.
 
“We couldn’t start the tour without something special to celebrate,” says Chesney. “It’s going to be an incredible summer, and I thought we should make something for No Shoes Nation that will be as delicious with just a squeeze of lime and soda as it is serving as the something extra in any number of people’s signature cocktails! However, whatever way you like to enjoy your favorite vacation-in-a-glass, it’s gonna be a little fresher with Blue Chair Bay Lime Rum.”
 
Today, the brand that’s won myriad medals at some of the most competitive tasting and cocktail competitions in the nation announces its new Lime Rum. Created with Blue Chair Bay’s signature clear spirit, Blue Chair Bay Lime compliments the already palette-pleasing flavors. Hitting shelves in-store next month, Blue Chair Bay’s Lime and Soda cocktail will be available on select stops throughout this year’s Chesney tour.
 
With a bright taste of citrus, Blue Chair Bay Lime Rum provides the tang of lime, balanced with Caribbean rum for a clean, tropical flavor. Perfect as a flavor-forward spirit added to any mixer, it adds an unexpected note to traditional cocktails (such as the Lime Colada, below) or enjoyed on the rocks.
 
To celebrate the newest spirit’s release, Blue Chair Bay joins Kenny Chesney’s No Shoes Radio for a Lime Launch Party at Juana’s Pagoda at Navarre Beach in Navarre, Fla. The fun all happens at the family-owned, sand-floored local institution Friday, April 12. Additional details available HERE.
 
And for those who can’t get there, a simple and a classic recipe to make your own fun.

Lime & Soda

• 2 oz. Blue Chair Bay® Lime Rum

• Club soda

    Add ingredients into a glass with ice. Garnish with mint and lime wedges.
 
Lime Colada

• 2 oz. Blue Chair Bay® Lime Rum

• 2 oz. pineapple juice

• 1 oz. cream of coconut

• 1 oz. coconut milk

    Blend all ingredients together. Pour into a glass. Garnish with a lime wheel and a cherry.

Embodying the best of times and time well spent, Blue Chair Bay Rum has become an integral part of making memories for people across the country.
 
Chesney’s Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour, presented by Blue Chair Bay Rum, kicks off later this month at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium on April 20.

ONErpm Signs Britnee Kellogg + New Single "Hell in a Handbag" Set for 4/12

With her latest single “Hell in a Handbag,” singer/songwriter Britnee Kellogg—ONErpm Nashville’s newest signing—is ready to take this town by storm. An American Idol alum (seasons 11 and 12) and mother of three, Kellogg is making a name for herself in a crowded female country artist landscape with insightful lyrics that resonate with real women.
 
“In this space,” the 39-year-old recently told People magazine, “there’s so much pop country from young artists ... and there’s a place for it, but I don’t really feel like we have that grown-ass woman right now that can speak to the moms struggling to make ends meet.”
 
The product of a single mom and her own tumultuous first marriage, Kellogg gets it.
 
“They don’t want to listen to a song about a breakup. They’re in the trenches and they need a song to put on to make them feel empowered. And that’s really what I want my music to do.”
 
Like her last release, “She’s Come a Long Way”—an anthem celebrating women who have overcome adversity—“Hell in a Handbag,” produced by Autumn McEntire and Jared Conrad and written by Tori Tullier, Alyssa Micaela and Olivia Rudeen, is again championing the cause, just in a slightly different manner. With lines like Might get a few looks for the flask full of whiskey and packets of Pedialyte, Kellogg exposes the flaws modern women have, daring the listener to take her to task for admitting them:
 
      I got an old parking ticket that I'm never gonna pay,
      And an empty liquor bottle from an airplane;
      Got a lighter that I borrowed from a cowboy in Texas,
      Still got the spare key to my ex’s Lexus;
      A can of dry shampoo and a toothpaste tube
      for nights I don't make it home;
      Add the Advil to that and a couple red flags,
      Yeah, you could say I'm going to hell in a handbag
 
“We know how fortunate we are to work with Britnee. Her songs express a point of view we rarely get to hear today,” says Shelby Kennedy, ONErpm Nashville’s director of A&R. “At ONErpm, we believe ‘unique deserves unique,’ and that is why we are extremely excited to work with such a strong new talent.”

“We know how fortunate we are to work with Britnee. Her songs express a point of view we rarely get to hear today,” says Shelby Kennedy, ONErpm Nashville’s director of A&R. “At ONErpm, we believe ‘unique deserves unique,’ and that is why we are extremely excited to work with such a strong new talent.”
 
A Vancouver, Wash., native, Kellogg’s love of country music started at age 6 when she attended a Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash concert. Smitten from the first note, Kellogg knew even then she had found her chosen career. Today, you’ll find her sharing the stage with artists such as Blake Shelton, Eric Paslay, Lee Brice, Kane Brown, Little Big Town and Keith Urban.
 
Kellogg is currently performing on stages across the U.S., writing new music and recording in the studio. She is booked by The Kinkead Entertainment Agency, Nashville. For more information, visit BritneeKellogg.com and follow her socials on Facebook (439K followers), Instagram (172K followers), TikTok (1.3M followers) and YouTube: (42.3K subscribers).

CRAIG MORGAN PERFORMS NATIONAL ANTHEM AT CHICAGO WHITE SOX AND NEW YORK YANKEES MLB HOME OPENERS

Country music star and Army Reserve soldier Craig Morgan performed the national anthem in uniform for the MLB home openers of the Chicago White Sox game on March 28 at Guaranteed Rate Field and the New York Yankees game on April 5 at Yankee Stadium (watch here). The newly appointed Warrant Officer 1, who had previously served seventeen years in the Army and Army Reserve with the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions, returned to service in the Army Reserve last year following his swearing-in on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry on July 29, 2023. Watch the historic moment HERE.

In addition to his service to our country in the Army Reserve, Morgan has continued to tour and release new music, including October’s Enlisted  (Broken Bow Records). Just as the Army has called on Morgan, the Tennessee native has recruited some of his talented friends to contribute to his latest project, available now. Appropriately titled Enlisted, the six-track release offers new takes on four of his biggest hits along with two new tracks and includes appearances by an all-star group of performers including Trace Adkins, Luke Combs, Gary LeVox, Jelly Roll, Blake Shelton, and Lainey Wilson.

Listen now at craigmorgan.lnk.to/Enlisted

Morgan just wrapped his headlining “God, Family, Country Tour 2023,” in partnership with Operation Finally Home. The tour and his recent record follow 2022’s release of his personal memoir — God, Family, Country, which he wrote with Jim DeFelice, #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of American Sniper. The book chronicles Morgan’s road to success, from his humble childhood in Tennessee to his years as an elite military operative to his country music stardom. Country music fans and thrill seekers alike will love this intimate look at his remarkable life. Learn more HERE.

BLEED FROM WITHIN | Release Video For 'Killing Time'

Bleed From Within have had an extraordinary couple of years. In April, they'll be hitting the road for a month-long USA and Canada tour with The Ghost Inside, Paleface, and Great American Ghost, and are also looking ahead to a string of summer festival appearances including their Hellfest debut, Download Festival and Graspop, plus a couple of German shows with Shadow Of Intent, The Acacia Strain and Fuming Mouth. Not to mention that they'll be capping off this year in the finest way by playing as special guests to Slipknot across the UK and Europe, for Slipknot's 'Here Comes The Pain' tour celebrating the Iowan's 25th anniversary.

Today, Bleed From Within have released an immense, high-energy video for their track 'Killing Time' made up of some touring highlights from the past few months. 'Killing Time' has become a set-list favorite throughout their recent runs, the track coming from their latest studio album Shrine.

Watch the video for 'Killing Time' below.

Ali Richardson stated:
"As we approach the end of the Shrine cycle, we've been looking back at everything that we've achieved with this release. It has been a truly amazing couple of years, taking us thousands of miles around the world. The perfect setup to the next chapter of our band. The lyrics for Killing Time are personal, but I hope that the clear message about making the most of the time we have left will resonate with those reading them. The song always stood out to us and our fans, so it has been great to give it a place in our live set and celebrate it with this video. Shot and edited by our close friend and long-time videographer/photographer Tom Armstrong, we hope you enjoy this montage as much as we do. A true celebration of the band's journey over the last couple of years!"

This was all on top of a hugely successful debut American tour earlier in the year with August Burns Red and The Devil Wears Prada. 

In November of last year Bleed From Within released the Shrine Deluxe Edition. Their stunning latest studio album Shrine was released in the summer of 2022, marking the band's most groundbreaking work to date and staking out Bleed From Within's bold intent. The Scottish 5-piece claiming their position as the most exciting prospect in modern metal.

Steven Jones from the band stated,
''Upon releasing 'Shrine' in June 2022, it's safe to say that none of us expected what the following months would bring. It's been a hell of a year, with our most rigorous touring schedule yet putting us in places we've dreamed of since we started the band. This era of Bleed From Within is something we have worked so hard toward, and in this moment we are extremely grateful to all those who have made it possible. To all of our fans who fill the rooms and sing the words, to the team behind the scenes who keep the cogs moving on tour, in the studio, and everywhere between, and to the creative minds that help us bring our music to life - thank you. 17 months since its original release, we are so proud to now present this limited and deluxe edition of 'Shrine', featuring all of the songs that were recorded during the sessions. Here's to the months and years ahead!''
Bleed From Within have been to hell and back, but they are no strangers to enduring hardship. When a global pandemic threatened to shut down their plans, the Glaswegians collectively raised five middle fingers and pressed on. It’s no surprise that this unstoppable riff machine continues to crush forward at such a frantic pace – there's no putting the breaks on the heaviest band to ever emerge from Scotland.

The band’s reputation as one of the most formidable forces in modern metal has earned them tour slots with Megadeth, Lamb Of God, Testament, and Heaven Shall Burn, to name just a few. The last few years has seen them dominate the UK live scene and take Europe and America by storm.

Shrine has taken the most graft to put together of any record in their catalog, challenging their self-perception on both personal and technical levels - the culmination of two years of hard work that embodies their artistic might. Armed with the learnings of evolving their sound over the last decade without ever losing sight of their DIY roots, this is Bleed From Within at their very best. There’s no denying the band’s inevitable next steps are world domination, with Shrine a turning point moment.

Bleed From Within are:
Scott Kennedy - Vocals
Craig Gowans - Lead Guitar
Steven Jones - Rhythm Guitar & Vocals
David Provan - Bass
Ali Richardson - Drums 

GEEZER BUTLER TO BE INTERVIEWED BY BRIAN POSEHN AT UPCOMING "FILLING THE VOID" EVENT

One of the most revealing metal autobiographies of recent times was certainly Geezer Butler's popular 'Into the Void.' And many Colorado-based rockers are sure to flock to the Gothic Theatre on May 22, 2024 in Englewood, for a night of discussion with Black Sabbath's legendary bassist, Geezer Butler, who will be joined by comedian Brian Posehn to discuss his book, life, and career – for an event being billed as 'Filling the Void.'

In addition to the conversation between Brian and Geezer, Geezer will also be taking part in a Q&A with the audience and also signing attendees' books, so feel free to bring your copy along. Tickets can be purchased for the event starting April 8th, via this link:
https://www.axs.com/events/540679/geezer-butler-brian-posehn-tickets

Concerning 'Into the Void,' countless esteemed publications praised it, including Mojo hailing it as "An epic odyssey of one of rock's unlikeliest stars," the Daily Express calling it "A gritty autobiography," and the Financial Times adding it is "An entertaining memoir about decibels and debauchery on the road with Sabbath." The book also came in at #2 on the London Times' best seller list.

Geezer Butler served as Black Sabbath's bassist for the majority of the years since their 1968 inception in Birmingham, England, as well as serving as the band's chief lyricist – which in turn, played a major role in the creation of heavy metal. Additionally, his unmistakable bass playing served as an influence on such subsequent renowned four-string players as Metallica's Cliff Burton, Pantera's Rex Brown, and Type O Negative's Peter Steele, among others.

As a writer/actor/stand-up comic, Brian Posehn has starred in multiple stand-up specials, and has appeared on the popular Disney Plus show The Mandalorian, the acclaimed Netflix show Lady Dynamite, FX’s You’re The Worst and in his recurring roles on The Big Bang Theory and New Girl. He was one of the stars of Comedy Central's popular show, The Sarah Silverman Program. He has also appeared on such seminal sitcoms as Seinfeld, NewsRadio, Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends, The Neighborhood and a recurring role on Just Shoot Me.

And Geezer is very much looking forward to the event. “I can’t wait to see how the evening unfolds, as Brian is both incredibly funny and a super-passionate rock fan! It's a rare opportunity for us to come face to face with fans and answer some of their burning questions!”

And on May 22, 2024 at the Gothic Theatre, the worlds of comedy and metal will collide in what will most certainly be an unforgettable night of laughs and storytelling, with 'Filling the Void.'

New Orleans dark ethereal duo The Palace of Tears release sophomore album 'Veiled Screen, Woven Dream'

"The Palace of Tears manage to hold the fort in these darker realms, while cutting into new territory that overlaps with classical vocals and dark ambient. Layered up with a Robin Guthrie-esque expanse of guitars, you’re now set for a dark oceanic journey of the soul" ~ The Spill Magazine


New Orleans dark duo The Palace of Tears presents their sophomore album 'Veiled Screen, Woven Dream', a hauntingly beautiful, ghostly and sensual experience.

This fan-funded seven-track album represents “the transformational fires of the Phoenix archetype and the cyclic nature of death and rebirth”. A transmission of aural experiences and transmutational frequencies, it is previewed by the bewitching single 'The Embers of Your Being Glow Still' and spectacular video for the title track.

The Palace of Tears is Leah Kahn aka LV Darkling (vocalist, lyricist) and Erick r Scheid (guitars, electronics, engineering), who met in Germany in 2018 when Erick was performing with his band Mercurys Antennae at the world-renowned WGT Festival. After a collaborative exercise in co-writing long distance, the duo released their debut album 'Of Ruination' in 2020 with Erick also moving from the Bay Area to join LV in New Orleans.

Delving into hidden truths and secrets, pain and grief from personal loss, and the soul's journey, 'Veiled Screen, Woven Dream' is informed by personal experiences and tragedy, including an unforeseen and agonizing turning point in its creation. Yet this process became a crucial component in the process of moving through grief and pain towards healing.

This record is an exploration of your shadow-self and entering the realm of darkness and the unconscious and subconscious, which lay just beyond our conscious awareness. The lyrics incite contemplation of the soul’s journey as it departs from this mortal coil, beholding that mystery of the veil between the seen and unseen worlds.

"This album is dedicated to my brother, best friend and soulmate Kirk, who left this Earthly realm last October. I would be remiss to not mention my own recent personal loss, as I would be denying and omitting the special place that it holds in the journey of the making of this album. I truly have never known grief until now. There are songs on this album that remain difficult for me to listen to, let alone actually perform and sing, as I usually end up in tears," says LV Darkling.

"As vulnerable as it is to share some of this here, I am propelled by the deep spiritual connection that he and I held throughout our lives. He is inherently a part of this work, perhaps collaborating with us from beyond. I hope that by channeling this and honoring those we love, it can provide a healing catalyst and human connection can be unearthed."

With somber beauty and otherworldly seduction, The Palace of Tears fuses hypnotic electronics, heavily layered processed guitars and operatic contralto vocals that captivate, creating an ethereal sonic amalgam that transcends temporal boundaries. Their unique alchemy blends elements of ethereal wave, gothic rock, shoegaze, dark ambient and electronica, encapsulated within a lush cinematic soundscape.

No stranger to the world of performance, New Orleans native LV Darkling is a classically-trained dancer and vocalist, who brings a varied and textured approach to her singing and songwriting, pulling from her many disciplines in the performing arts.

Erick r Scheid is best known for his band Mercurys Antennae (Projekt Records), who released 3 albums and 2 EPs, as well as performing at Whitby Goth Festival, All Tomorrows Ghosts and WGT Festival. A self-taught recording engineer, Erick has been writing and producing music since 1989, and has also composed film soundtracks, performed and written scores as a live musician for dance performances, touring extensively throughout the US.

Having toured the USA, The Palace of Tears has shared the stage with artists such as Kaelan Mikla, Pink Turns Blue, AL1CE, Solar Fake, Rosegarden Funeral Party, The Veldt, Slow Crush, Dead Leaf Echo, Pilgrims of Yearning, Astari Nite, The Waning Moon and The Neuro Farm, in addition to performing at Dark City Festival (New Orleans) and Dark Castle Festival (Louisville).

As of April 8, the 'Veiled Screen, Woven Dream' album is available on CD, limited edition vinyl and digitally directly from the artist via Bandcamp.

The Mendenhall Experiment On Tour Now with Scream at the Sky!

The Mendenhall Experiment is proud to announce the release of their latest single, "Say It." This dynamic track is set to drop on April 12th via Lucent/UMG, a division of Universal Music Group and marks the second release from their forthcoming EP, Chasing Ghosts.

Mendenhall talks about the single, "'Say It' was a different process for us, the song came together organically as a full band, with everyone throwing in their flavor on the fly. It was one of those 'magic moments' as a band where everything just flowed out of us and the song came together in an evening. It stands as one of our heaviest songs in the catalogue.”

Vocalist Alyce Hayes adds, "'Say It' is a song about speaking your truth, even when you're scared, or when you feel unheard. It's a personal mantra and reminder for myself, really. We can't fully become who we're meant to be until we can speak for ourselves. When the guys sent me the music, I was immediately inspired. I think I had the lyrics written in about 30 minutes. 'Say It' is asking the question: 'What if I don't stay silent? What if my words have power?' Because they do. Words absolutely have power."

“If you asked me why I want to be a rock star...it’s not about the fame or money,”guitarist/ songwriter Brandon Mendenhall states. “I have a unique opportunity to inspire people and kids with disabilities with my playing, my music and my story. I truly believe that's what I was put on this earth to do.”

Born with Cerebral Palsy, an incurable neurological disorder affecting movement, coordination and, balance; Brandon Mendenhall faces numerous challenges. With limited movement on his left side and zero mobility in his left hand, the odds were stacked against him from birth.

However, inspired by acts such as Korn and Pantera, Brandon taught himself how to play guitar at the age of 19, rehabilitating his left hand without surgical intervention. “Once I was able to get a guitar in my hands, it changed my life,” he says. That passion for music sparked something in his soul and a dream began to form...a dream that was thought to be impossible: Brandon wanted to play guitar and form a band. He recalls, “My grandfather told me,‘You’ll never be a guitarist. Don’t even try.’ And that crushed me. Those words lit a fire in me. I was determined that I could do this.”

4/8 Buffalo NY- Mohawk Place

4/9 Pittsburgh PA- Hard Rock Cafe

4/10 Youngstown OH- Westside Bowl

4/11 Lakewood OH -The Foundry

4/12 Chesterfield MI -Diesel Concert Lounge

4/13 Janesville Wi -The Back Bar

4/14 West Chicago IL- WC Social

4/17 Haltom City TX- Haltom Theater

4/18 Austin TX -Come and Take It

4/19 Abilene TX -Fatboys

4/20 Houston TX- Acadia

The Mendenhall Experiment was born as Brandon's own personal aspiration to be in a world-famous band while working within the limitations of Cerebral Palsy, knowing full well that the cards were stacked against finding musicians willing to work with him. Possessing a fierce desire to succeed, Brandon went to visit a friend in the Rock & Roll Mecca of Los Angeles- and never left, pursuing his dream with relentless tenacity and bulldog determination. Failure was not an option.

Formed in 2008, The Mendenhall Experiment also features bass player Nathan Stockton, who overcame a disability of his own-childhood deafness-through the power of music. He and Brandon are joined by Alyce Hayes on vocals, Mike Lira on guitar, and Justin Lubeck on drums.

Based in Southern California, TMX has been regularly performing on the infamous Sunset Strip in addition to gigs throughout the region opening for the likes of such metal mainstays as John 5, POD, Alien Ant Farm, Kill Devil Hill, Fear Factory, Prong, Flaw, Metal Allegiance, Smile Empty Soul, Cold, and more. In 2013, the five-piece performed at the Monster Energy Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, California, sharing the stage with Korn, Megadeth, and Five Finger Death Punch.

A breakthrough occurred on June 17, 2014, when TMX made it to the final round of The Battle of the Bands for Warped Tour. After an electrifying performance that left the audience screaming for more, The Mendenhall Experiment took second place. The subsequent buzz reached the discerning ears at Liquid Bit Music Productions and in August 2014 TMX inked a publishing deal with the company, six years to the day after the initial incarnation of The Mendenhall Experimentperformed its first show in Brandon's hometown of Kankakee, Illinois. Shortly thereafter, the quintet put pen to paper again to sign their first development deal with Lucent Records, including national digital distribution through Universal Music Group.

TMX’s inspiring and energetic performances strive to bring a positive message to the masses. They stand strong for disability awareness in support of Brandon, who observes, “At our shows, we are starting to see the impact of our mission to inspire others on a consistent basis. Our fans and supporters come to us and give their personal testimonies and praise about how we are touching their lives, and the lives of others with disabilities.” The music and lyrics resonate far beyond the disabilities, inspiring people to seize every day and celebrate life.

The Mendenhall Experiment began recording their current EP in various studios in Los Angeles with the help of some very special guests: James “Munky” Shaffer (Korn) and Danny Lohner (NIN/A Perfect Circle). The EP is available everywhere online and the debut single, “Seize the Day”, has received over thirty-thousand views on Vevo/YouTube.

The music video was acclaimed Video of the Year at the 2015 LRT Music Video Awards in Hollywood,California, celebrating independent music, while Brandon was deemed Trailblazer of the Year at the 2015 United Cerebral Palsy Los Angeles Art of Care annual event. In addition, he was also named celebrity ambassador for Day Trippers, a UK-based charity assisting disabled people in Great Britain. A feature documentary film detailing Brandon and the band’s story, Mind Over Matter, was released in 2019; directed by French filmmaker Sébastien Paquet (Korn,Wounded Warriors). In 2016 TMX made a triumphant return to the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, California, graduating to the main stage and playing to over four-thousand wildly enthusiastic fans. TMX has also performed at the 2017 Rocklahoma festival. So far the band has completed six tours which are comprised of three headlining tours and three national tours. In 2019 they released the singles "Unwanted" and a surprise acoustic version of "Nothing Good Came Easy" to much acclaim from fans. Currently The Mendenhall Experiment is back in the studio and have just finished shooting a music video for "Prosthetic" which features Munky from Korn. The Mendenhall Experiment is also currently sponsored by Monster Energy, Ibanez Guitars, EMG Pickups, SIT Strings, and InTune Guitar Picks.

Brandon maintains a vision for TMX that some may deem unrealistic: “I am confident that as The Mendenhall Experiment brand continues to grow and see greater success, we can begin to inspire people on a global scale with our music, touching not only the lives of individuals but also changing the global perception of people with disabilities.” But considering all that he's overcome thus far, it would be difficult to bet against Brandon and “The Experiment” that bears his name fulfilling those goals!

The Mendenhall Experiment is:

Brandon Mendenhall - Rhythm Guitarist

Alyce Hayes - Vocalist

Mike Lira - Lead Guitarist

Nathan Stockton - Bassist

Justin Luebeck - Percussionist

BBR Music Group/Stoney Creek Records' Jelly Roll would take home three wins, for the second consecutive year, earning him the accolade as the most-awarded artist of the night, including the top honor of "Video of the Year" for "Need a Favor." The self-proclaimed "Trailer Park Tornado" delivered a fiery performance of "Halfway to Hell" to close the program and also took home buckle awards for "Male Video of the Year" for "Need a Favor" and "CMT Performance of the Year" for "Need a Favor" (from the 2023 CMT Music Awards).

Throughout the broadcast, she performed "Country's Cool Again," the namesake for the 2024 U.S. domestic tour that kicks off on May 31, and returned to join Brooks & Dunn and Sammy Hagar to honor the legendary Toby Keith performing "How Do You Like Me Now?!"

I just want to say, first of all, every single girl that was in this category, all of them are dear friends. They work their tails off and they just dedicate their life to creating music and creating this vision and bringing it to life. I am so honored to be a part of this category. It's really unreal watching these girls do what they do. I am pretty sure all of them would let me say thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for supporting women in country. It's a big dang deal! Thank you so much. 'Watermelon Moonshine' is about that young, wild, crazy love --- a time in your life when nothing else mattered. It takes you back to that certain time, that place, that smell, that sound --- that's what country music is right there. It's just about telling a story and thank y'all so much for letting me do that with this video. God bless y'all."

During his "Video of the Year" acceptance speech for "Need a Favor", viewable HERE, Jelly Roll stated: "Billy Bob Thornton just gave me my third trophy of the night, y'all.

Fans can also catch Wilson on her upcoming, “Country’s Cool Again,” headlining North American tour later this Summer.

He has earned the most Top 10 songs on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart-more than any other artist - since his debut in 2005, with “songs of small-town living, love and loss that have resonated with a loyal fanbase” (Billboard). Having just wrapped his sold-out Highway Desperado tour across the US, the Georgia native continues his “country superstar status" (Variety) with his 11th studio album, Highway Desperado, which was released November 3rd. In addition to three tracks co-written by Aldean, the album features “Tough Crowd” - which he debuted at the 2023 ACM Awards as an Entertainer of the Year nominee - as well as his career first Hot 100 chart-topping hit, “Try That In A Small Town,” and fan-favorite tracks “Let Your Boys Be Country” and “Whiskey Drink.” Produced by longtime producer Michael Knox, Highway Desperado is the follow up to Aldean’s tenth studio album, MACON, GEORGIA, which debuted to critical acclaim, with Stereogum naming it an "Album of the Week” and the Tennessean praising that “MACON, GEORGIA finds Aldean honed in on his vision for this era of his career” and “kicks off his career's next era.” The project featured the history-making, multi-week No. 1 "powerful duet" (Rolling Stone) ”If I Didn’t Love You” with Carrie Underwood, which earned Aldean his 26th career #1 at Country radio and won ACM Single of the Year, iHeartRadio Country Song of the Year, and CMT Collaborative Video of the Year as well as Billboard and GRAMMY nominations.

Miranda Lambert Returns to the Road as 'Velvet Rodeo' Las Vegas Residency Concludes

With the twice-extended Velvet Rodeo residency praised by People for allowing Miranda Lambert to “shine vocally as she seamlessly traversed her deep catalog” having come to a close in Las Vegas this weekend, the Entertainer of the Year will now bring her dynamic live show to a series of one-off dates across the country this summer, with additional shows to be added in the coming weeks.
 
Joining headlining sets at Stagecoach, Rock the Country, Calgary Stampede, Under the Big Sky and more, as well as a three-night stand at Whitewater Amphitheater in her home state of Texas, the three-time GRAMMY winner now adds six shows throughout July, August and September spanning from coast to coast. Tickets to the newly added dates go on sale to the general public this Friday, April 12 at 10 a.m. local time via MirandaLambert.com.
 
“I’ve been touring since I was 19 years old, so it was nice to step away from the road for a bit and settle into Vegas,” reflects Lambert. “That gave us time to miss touring though, so I cannot wait to get back out there on Elvira, my home away from home, and visit the fans across the country that we haven’t seen in a while.”
 
Lambert’s Velvet Rodeo kicked off at Planet Hollywood’s Bakkt Theater in September of 2022, spanning 48 total shows in the 18 months that followed. During that time, she has released cross-genre collaborations with both Leon Bridges and Enrique Iglesias while also intentionally taking time to write and record new music of her own; launched her own label imprint, Big Loud Texas; and even added New York Times best-selling author to her lengthy list of accolades with the release of her book, “Y’all Eat Yet?”

Tear It Down, Pack It Up: Kenny Chesney Wraps Nashville SUN GOES DOWN 2024 Rehearsals

Five weeks of lining up lighting cues... playing with the set list... pulling out some old favorites... working out a couple surprises... tweaking the video for the screens... and mostly, having fun honing one of the tightest, high-energy playlists in the nation, Kenny Chesney called it a wrap twelve days before his Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour kicks off at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium. With the show already selling out – and more tickets being found and released all day Friday – the man the Minneapolis Star Tribune calls “country’s king of stadium concerts” is fired up about getting his summer started.
 
“The third happiest day of the year is when we load out of rehearsals,” says the East Tennessee songwriter/superstar, “because it means we’re ready to do the single greatest thing in the world: rock No Shoes Nation. Every year, it’s the small tweaks that can give us pretty major rewards when it comes to reaching the people all the way back beyond the pirate ship at Raymond James! And that’s a very good feeling to have, knowing what’s ahead.
 
“And having had my biggest show there last time we played, the idea we were having to find more tickets for No Shoes Nation... That says they’re gearing up to come hard, too. It sets a bar for how we wanna bring the music, and after missing a year, we’re gonna try to bring some very serious heat.”
 
Having spent last summer doing the more stripped down I Go Back 2023 Tour of those arenas and markets where he first rose to major headlining status, the only country artist to be on Billboard’s Top 10 Touring Artists of the Last 25 Years for the past 15 years is ready to gear up the major parking lot parties, stadium-sized guitar parts and an exchange of energy like no other.
 
“Last year’s tour really reminded me of the power of so many of the songs I’ve written or found and recorded,” Chesney says. “In an arena, it’s more intimate – and there’s room for the song to breathe and come back to you. In a stadium, what you get back is all the energy, all the voices, all the excitement. So I think Sun Goes Down will have some of that nuance in the songs to go along with all of the power and love coming off our stage.”
 
Running through an unprecedented three nights – August 23, 24, 25 – in what has become a No Shoes Nation tour-ending tradition at Foxborough, Mass.’s Gillette Stadium, the man the Wall Street Journal called “The King of the Road” is ready for action. In training since the top of the year, he’s just wrapped “the most fun year of rehearsals ever– and can’t wait to play.”

SHARPTONE RECORDS MEDIA ALERT: Make Them Suffer Share Their New Video

A potent fusion of the past, present and future, Perth metalcore outfit Make Them Suffer return today armed with a glossy yet blistering new single "Epitaph," out now via Greyscale Records and SharpTone Records.

Continuing the band's ferocious new sonic chapter, "Epitaph" swells with a sharp interplay between sharp primal energy and glowing ambience, also accompanied today by a brand new music video.

Of their latest single, the band shares, "'Epitaph' is the perfect grafting of new and old in terms of combining elements from our earlier sound with newer ones. Primal yet futuristic, Epitaph comes from a place of contemplation. The lyrics depict a post-doomsday setting and imagine how we as a species might be remembered by other forms of life."

Watch the music video for "Epitaph" 

Following a long break away from music due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Make Them Suffer returned with a blazing bang in 2022, releasing the behemoth single "Doomswitch," playing a sold out tour in North America supporting Bad Omens, and performing a completely sold out headline Australian run in support of their new material.

Releasing their first single via the dream team of Greyscale Records and SharpTone Records in 2023, the ravenous might of "Ghost Of Me," Make Them Suffer toured North America last year as part of Parkway Drive's huge Monsters Of Oz Tour, alongside The Amity Affliction, and Northlane, as well as ticking off shows closer to home performing 2012's Neverbloom in full for the first time ever in Australia to resounding acclaim.

Now, Make Them Suffer continue their domination in 2024, embarking this week with an almost entirely sold out Australian run supporting Bring Me The Horizon alongside Sleep Token and Daine, before returning overseas for a run of European and UK festivals this June, including Download Festival, Copenhell, Jera On Air, and many more.

"We're about to settle in for the busiest year of touring in the history of Make Them Suffer and the energy in the band is at an all time high," the band shares of their huge 2024 ahead. "I'm sure we'll all be aching for more time at home by November, but for now, we can't wait to get back on the road and play all these amazing tours and festivals we have lined up."

'"Epitaph' is the beginning of a very exciting year for us, and not just in terms of touring. We're so incredibly thankful for all our supporters, and to be in the position we're in. Particularly after such an incredible journey. We can't wait to show everyone what we have in store."

Drowning Pool, a name etched in the annals of modern rock history, roars back into the spotlight with thunderous energy and uncompromising power. The band’s unmistakable sound, synonymous with raw energy and unapologetic attitude, returns to captivate audiences once again.

Known for their iconic anthem “Bodies,” Drowning Pool needs no introduction. This breakout single propelled them to international recognition, leaving an indelible mark on the nu metal landscape. The song’s relentless energy and defiant spirit resonated with a generation, becoming an anthem for moshers, metalheads, and fans of electrifying live performances.

Ryan McCombs played a pivotal role in the band’s evolution, joining their ranks in the aftermath of the tragic loss of beloved frontman Dave Williams. His powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence breathed new life into Drowning Pool, solidifying their status as metal titans. Songs like “37 Stitches,” “Feel Like I Do,”and “Turn So Cold” catapulted them to new heights, earning them a place among the genre’s heavyweights.

Yet, Drowning Pool’s story is not just about music; it’s a testament to enduring friendships and a shared passion for their craft. Ryan’s return to the band in 2023 marks a reunion of kindred spirits, a return to the roots of their musical journey. As he succinctly puts it, “Just being back in the same room together after so many years… was a quick reminder as to why I considered them to be my best friends in the business back in the day.”

Their path has not been without its challenges. “Bodies” faced misinterpretations and controversy, with its lyrics taken out of context. Nevertheless, their music has persisted, embraced by the very culture that birthed it. “Bodies” remains an enduring anthem, not just for Drowning Pool but for metal culture as a whole. Its legacy lives on, inspiring new generations of fans. Guitarist C.J. Pierce captures the essence of their dedication: “I’d play ‘Bodies’ five times a night if people really wanted it that bad!” The song’s timeless appeal transcends generations, resonating with both the seasoned and the fresh-faced.

Drowning Pool’s return is a testament to the enduring power of their music, a reminder that their unapologetic spirit continues to strike chords with audiences worldwide. The band experienced a triumphant resurgence in 2023 and with new music on the horizon, a 2024/25 calendar proving that the demand for the band isn’t about to slow down.., Drowning Pool has a white knuckle grip on their present and future with no plans to slow down.
