July 24, 2024

"Buzzing fuzz guitar lines emerge from a delicate acoustic introduction to intersect with the crashing chords and the ‘bulbous pulsing’ rhythm section" ~ Record Collector Magazine

"it’s clear that the sonic kaleidoscope presented on The Speed of Sound’s new album is worth the wait - a musical compass in a direction we should all explore" ~ The Spill Magazine

“Unmistakeable sound a winning formula” ~ The Big Takeover

“A triumph of industry, imagination and talent, coolly novel and damned addictive” ~ Louder Than War

‘Unique and other worldly” ~ Vive Le Rock

“A form of Art-Pop that is wry, incisive, yet a deeply listenable examination of post industrial culture” ~ Rock At Night

"A riotous maelstrom of musical mayhem” ~ The Manc Review

Manchester indie rock / power pop outfit The Speed Of Sound present their new single 'Underground', the first stunning glimpse of the album 'A Cornucopia: Victory', the second disc in their three-album set 'A Cornucopia: Minerva, Victory, Bounty'. This trilogy makes for the band's second release via California's Big Stir Records.

Full of ambition, energy and melodic brilliance, the band is offering this new three-album collection as a deluxe edition on vinyl and CD. Earlier, they shared four singles from 'Minerva' - the hauntingly spacious 'Trickledown', the stratospherically vast 'The Great Acceleration', the uplifting 'Mind Palace', and 'West Wind', where a recklessly fast rhythm merges with a Wagnerian horn section.

Following 2021's critically acclaimed album 'Museum Of Tomorrow', the band returns triumphant, defiant and redemptive with this trilogy, marking their 35th anniversary. The first disc 'Minerva' displays joyous belligerence in the face of a dominant mainstream music machine. In contrast, 'Victory' is more laid back and relaxed while retaining an optimistic upbeat and lively feel.

Most music is never even recorded, and most recorded music remains unheard. 'Victory' is a celebration of this unheard underground music and the counterculture itself - music made for the pleasure of making it (rather than for artless corporate entities). This is music that sees the mere act of existence as both rebellion and also success.

The Speed Of Sound creates music laden with optimism and lyrical bite, tapping the DIY ethos of punk and the restless lust for experimentation of psychedelia. Formed in 1989 with a pre-history dating back to the day Andy Warhol died in 1987, their music has always been idiosyncratic, counter-intuitive and perpetually looking for something new. Today The Speed of Sound is made up of father and son John Armstrong (guitars and vocals) and Henry Armstrong (keyboards), Ann-Marie Crowley (vocals and guitar), Kevin Roache (bass guitar) and John Broadhurst (drums).

"Can you hear the unheard music? This is subterranean dance-rock with an insatiable groove in celebration of independent music. The theme of non-mainstream creativity is present throughout the three linked albums of A Cornucopia; 'Underground' is where it is all explicitly pulled together. Immunity from the toxic tentacles of major labels and ‘the music business’ gives a freedom of expression simply not possible from within the machine," says frontman John Armstrong.

"The ‘We’ stated in ‘We are the underground’ is a collective ‘We’ - not just The Speed Of Sound - instead the ‘We’ is made up of every single independent artist across the planet. Together ‘We’ are all the Underground and ‘We' are defiantly proud of our existence beyond the exclusive major label 'club’. ‘We’ have the power to just do our thing and get on with it!"

The 'Victory' album includes 14 wide-ranging pieces of unheard and highly contagious fresh and unexpectedly shape-shifting grooves. From the supremely danceable 'Underground' through the unabashed sensuality of 'Monsoon' to the gothic lounge jazz of 'Permafrost' and the strangely linked pairing of 'Apocalypse Acropolis' and 'Apocalypse Metropolis', they offer something special here.

From the hypnotic orange-and-sandalwood scented wisps of masala rock in 'Rock Paper Scissors', acoustic powered spaceflight 'in From The Cradle To The Stars' and the reckless garage punk punch of 'Go For It', it becomes clear. There is the data scraping warning of 'X-Y Axis', the post-nostalgia of 'The Same River',and swaggering rock with a pinch of Brazilian sway in 'A Walk By The Sea', while 'E to F' displays glam rock tendencies and a pinball metaphor before the soaring harmonies of 'Empathic Reaction' and ending with the triumphant shimmering elegance of 'Tranquility Falls'.

With their genre-defying style, The Speed Of Sound expand from their foundation of 1960s, punk and new wave influences, encompassing wide dynamic and stylistic variation, crossing borders and pushing boundaries at every opportunity. Their music bursts with experimentation whilst retaining hooks and melodic sensibility, plus sharp barbed wit, lyrical depth and all-pervading sense of joy.

As of July 23, 'Underground' isavailable everywhere digitally, including Apple Music,Spotify and Bandcamp, where 'Minerva' and the full trilogy 'A Cornucopia: Minerva, Victory, Bounty' can also be obtainedon CD or vinyl. The 'Victory' album will be released on September 20 and the'Bounty' album shall be released later this year.

ABOUT GATECREEPER

Formed in 2013, GATECREEPER have spent the last decade steadily climbing the death metal ladder. Their self-titled 2014 EP established instant credibility as purveyors of the old-school form. The band signed with Relapse, releasing their highly acclaimed full-length debut Sonoran Depravation (2016), followed by Deserted (2019). Throughout the years they’ve toured with CANNIBAL CORPSE, IN FLAMES, POWER TRIP, OBITUARY, MUNICIPAL WASTE, and more.

GATECREEPER’s pivotal new album Dark Superstition was released this past May via Nuclear Blast - their label debut. Their sprawling third full-length is more concise, melodic, and memorable than anything they’ve ever done

Dark Superstition deals with the supernatural, divination, fear of the unknown, and trust in magic or chance. The album shapeshifts from one brutal soundscape to the next as each sonic structure rouses its own emotion and landscape.

“Many of the songs incorporate supernatural ideas with my own experiences,” Mason says. “But the title itself is a reference to the Superstition Mountains in our home state of Arizona. It’s a beautiful mountain range surrounded by tragedy and legends of hidden fortune.”

GATECREEPER is:

Jason Charles Miller Releases New Single “Digging In The Dust”; New Album ‘Knives In The Dark’ out August 16,

July 24, 2024

Jason Charles Miller has released “Digging in the Dust,” the debut single from his upcoming new album Knives in the Dark. The song is impacting at Americana radio now, while the album, slated for release August 16, will be supported by a North American tour with Steel Panther that launches August 23 in Buffalo, NY. See complete dates below.

“Timing in relationships is everything. ‘Digging in the Dust’ is about a romance that’s long-since ended, but neither side wants to admit it,” says Miller of the inspiration behind his new single. “We’ve all seen that from afar, but the main character is just figuring out it’s happening to them. The inevitability of the situation is slowly being revealed, and this song is the realization of that moment, and the futility of any future together.”

LISTEN TO “DIGGING IN THE DUST” HERE:

https://www.jasoncharlesmiller.com/links

WATCH THE “DIGGING IN THE DUST” VISUALIZER/LYRIC VIDEO BELOW;

An accomplished southern rock/Americana artist, ‘Knives’ will be Miller’s fifth full-length solo album, and first album with new label One Opportunity Records. He has also released multiple EPs and singles, and a host of high-profile soundtrack and theme music work for shows and games including ‘Critical Role,’ ‘Metal Gear Rising,’ ‘Cyberpunk 2077,’ ‘Legends of the Multiverse’ and AEW professional wrestler Brandon Cutler.

“This is the first album I’ve written where my only goal was to write the best songs I can, and not worry about where they might be categorized,” says Miller of ‘Knives in the Dark.’ “By not going out of my way to write for a specific genre, I’ve made what is, hands down, the best – and most representative – album of my career.”

Miller’s music contributions to the Final Fantasy video game franchise have made him a fan favorite to players of the game, and he is featured regularly at Final Fantasy Fan Fest events worldwide, including upcoming officially sanctioned tour stops in China, Japan and South Korea this fall, where he will perform Final Fantasy XIV music alongside all-star ensembles and orchestras.

Widely recognized as the frontman and founder of the rock band Godhead, where he toured the world with the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Rammstein, Disturbed, Linkin Park, Slipknot and Korn frontman Jonathan Davis, Miller transitioned to a solo artist with the release of his Last To Go Home EP in 2009.

Seamlessly blending the worlds of Americana, rock and country, his solo career has seen him share stages with greats including Billy Ray Cyrus, Alan Jackson, Eric Church, Toby Keith, Ashley McBryde, .38 Special, Allman Betts Band and more.

Fancy Hagood Captures Love & Solace in New Song "Good Grief"

July 24, 2024

Acclaimed singer/songwriter Fancy Hagood will release his deeply emotional and introspective new single, “Good Grief,” on Friday, July 26. The poignant track captures the raw essence of loss, reflection and the journey toward healing, solidifying Hagood’s place as one of the most evocative storytellers in contemporary music.

“Good Grief” delves into the complexities of grief and the bittersweet memories that accompany it. The song's heartfelt lyrics and haunting melody offer a glimpse into Hagood's soul, making it a relatable and cathartic experience for listeners. Pre-add/save the song here.

“Last year, an acquaintance of mine had passed away and they had the most beautiful celebration of life for them,” said Hagood. “The following day, I had a writing session with my friend Jeremy Lutito, and I showed up feeling heavy with grief and loss, and strangely enough, so was Jeremy. He had just lost their family cat, and he was sharing with me the struggle of having to explain the concept of grief to his young children. Honestly, we both wrote this song to cope with our grief that day, and it was healing for me.

“Now, when I see the little reminders of those I have lost, the grief visits me, and it is just wonderful. It is ‘good grief’ because it’s as if they were there with me for a moment, and for that, I’m thankful. This song is for anyone missing loved ones on the other side.”

The song’s lyrics paint vivid imagery of sorrow and solace, capturing moments of vulnerability and resilience. Hagood’s soulful voice and masterful storytelling shine through as he navigates the emotions of losing a loved one while finding peace in memories and the natural world.

“Good Grief” is a testament to the duality of grief and joy, capturing the delicate balance of holding onto cherished memories while moving forward. Hagood’s ability to convey such a complex emotional landscape is a testament to his artistry and connection with his audience.

“Good Grief” follows the recent release of his song “Through,” of which Music Row Magazine said, “What a groove. Love the cool, crunchy bop tempo.” Listen to the song here. Both songs will be featured on his forthcoming sophomore album due this fall.

Hagood continues with a heavy summer tour schedule with artists including Maggie Rose, Joy Oladokun, Orville Peck and others. This fall, he will return to Europe for his first headlining tour, the Fly Away Tour. Tickets for shows are available here.

ABOUT FANCY HAGOOD:
Fancy Hagood is a Queer country artist from Bentonville, AR who now lives and makes music out of Nashville, TN. His recent EP, Smothered, Covered & Fried, is a five-track collection that features some of his favorite cover songs, four of which are collaborations with other queer country artists, including TJ Osborne, Brooke Eden, The Kentucky Gentleman, and She Returns From War and Jamie Wyatt.

As part of CMT’s “Listen Up Class of 2024,” Fancy’s music has been streamed across multiple platforms over 35 million times. Earlier this year Fancy was nominated for a GLADD Award for Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist. He has garnered the attention of generational artists like Brandi Carlile who called Fancy “an artist to watch,” and Sir Elton John, who asked Fancy to be a guest on his Rocket Hour Radio Show. Elton proclaimed, “We need more people like Fancy.”

DIE SO FLUID Unleashes Electrifying New Single "Dispute" with Captivating Lyric Video

July 23, 2024

“'Dispute' is about the world's addiction to conflict, the type of person who feels entitled to dominate your conversation with their own political agenda presuming you will agree, and the re-balancing of masculine and feminine, addressing antiquated conditioning. The message is to think for yourself. Don't be brainwashed or bullied into adopting someone else's opinion, OR into mindlessly and violently opposing it! Consider with discernment, trust your own inner wisdom." - GROG

Hard rock aficionados, brace yourselves! DIE SO FLUID, the powerhouse trio known for their ferocious sound and dynamic stage presence, are back with a bang. Today, the band is thrilled to announce the release of their incendiary new single "Dispute," accompanied by a mesmerizing lyric video. This release paves the way for their much-anticipated upcoming album, Skin Hunger, set to drop September 20, 2024.

"Dispute" showcases DIE SO FLUID's signature blend of raw energy, melodic hooks, and thought-provoking lyrics. The song is a fierce declaration of defiance and resilience, capturing the band's unrelenting spirit. The accompanying lyric video, a visual feast for the eyes featuring the always compelling work of Anabel DFlux, amplifies the song's intensity, drawing viewers into a world of vibrant colors and powerful imagery.

The lyric video, created by enigmatic front-woman Grog, and inspired by Metalocalypse, is dominated by purple, triangles , elements, and chakras. Grog has increasingly taken up the band's creative baton herself to inject the personal and authentic ethos of DSF throughout their work, pure and undiluted. Grog also created the album artwork, including a 12 page booklet for the Skin Hunger cd, which can be purchased along with shirts, signed art cards and stickers, by visiting the bands crowdfunding campaign! https://igg.me/at/DSFSkinHungerCampaign

The forthcoming album promises to be DIE SO FLUID's most ambitious project yet. With a collection of tracks that explore themes of desire, vulnerability, and the human condition, Skin Hunger is set to deliver a sonic experience that is both visceral and cathartic. Fans can expect a diverse range of songs that push the boundaries of hard rock, showcasing the band's evolution while staying true to their roots.

THE LONELY ONES Release New Single "The Bottom"

July 23, 2024

Experience the latest sensation from the rock band, The Lonely Ones! Their newest single, "The Bottom," arrived today, July 23, 2024.

Lead vocalist Marty McCoy shares his raw and introspective perspective, stating, “We live in a world where alcohol flows like a great river. It's easy to drown in that river. We try our best to stay afloat."

Check out The Lonely One's New Single "The Bottom"

https://linktr.ee/thelonelyones

Formed in the summer of 2019, The Lonely Ones are a four piece, vocal-oriented hard rock band with an ear for melody and a taste for success. The group features Marty McCoy on guitar / vocals, Tommy Johnson on drums, Jymmy Tolland on guitar / vocals and Tru Roberts on bass / vocals. Being no strangers to the hardships of the music industry, The Lonely Ones consist of former members of Bobaflex. Together, they knew what they wanted and knew how to get it; by combining their knowledge and experiences to achieve a common goal. With determined perseverance and an energized drive to triumph, they were ready to release their first two singles independently in March of 2020; with the titles “Eternal Sadness" and "The Lonely One."

A few months after their initial introduction to the world of rock, the band decided to take a major leap of faith and release their re-imagined version of Queen's classic song "Flash." There’s always the risk of scrutiny and criticism when it comes to covering classic songs, especially ones that are still regarded with high praise from the still thriving fan base, but the band was confident their rendition would not only honor the original but also garner renewed attention for the hit theme. Any doubts were squashed when the song and video were met with rave reviews, including those of Brian May from Queenand Sam J. Jones, Flash Gordon himself.

Brian May was quoted as saying, “What a fantastic cover! I didn’t realize they were going to go into The Hero and the whole reprise ... magnificent!"

Sam J Jones adds, "This is one of the best covers I have ever heard and seen. What a gifted group - The Lonely Ones are for every one of us, from the 1980’s to right now!"

Humbled by the response from fans, listeners and legends in the entertainment industry, the band was spurred on in their pursuit to create groundbreaking original music. In September of 2020, The Lonely Ones released another brand new single titled "Real Big Trouble." What started out as a fun and creative session quickly turned out to be one of their most rewarding. This is one of the heaviest songs the band has ever written, but it also gives a look into what sounds inspire them, such as Thin Lizzy and Beartooth.

By February of 2021, the band had signed on with Imagen Records and released another single called “Change the Station.” This release had 9 active rock stations add the single in the first week and they were a feature artist on Spotify's Rock Hard editorial playlist as well as over 100 other playlists in the first week as well.

The next release through Imagen was "Dyin' All Night Long" in June of 2021. A song about an abusive relationship and how often times excuses are made over and over for that person. The lyrics come from the perspective of a victim having had enough of it.

The band released two more singles titled "Gettin' High" (2021) and “The Way Out”(2022) via Imagen Records before ultimately going independent.
The band spent the summer of 2022 getting back to the grind and writing new songs. The Lonely Ones’ released "Bedroom Door" in October of 2022.

The Lonely Ones have played shows with Sevendust, Nonpoint, Fozzy, Royal Bliss, Seven Year Witch, Black Top Mojo, September Mourning and many more.

In addition, the band is endorsed by: Orange Amps, Westone Audio, Pearl Drums, Sabian Cymbals, Evan's Heads, Vater Sticks, Ibanez, Frog Amplification, Tech 21 Amplification, Michael Kelly Guitars, SIT Strings, Rare Buzz Effects and Strüng, which is guitar string jewelry that raises money for music education.

FORMER CACTUS VOCALIST JIMMY KUNES AND TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA GUITARIST ANGUS CLARK TEAM UP FOR THE KUNES CLARK BAND, WITH SINGLE 'STEP UP STEP UP'

July 23, 2024

The Kunes Clark Band is singer/songwriter Jimmy Kunes (Cactus, Savoy Brown, Humble Pie) and guitarist/songwriter Angus Clark (Cher, Joe Lynn Turner, Trans-Siberian Orchestra). The two musicians have known each other for nearly two decades and have performed together in numerous projects in and around New York City. Now they decided to take care of some unfinished business and make an album of material, some brand new, and some based on material they demoed 14 years ago. Rounding out the lineup for this album are drummer Van Romaine (Steve Morse Band) and bassist Winston Roye (Soul Asylum), along with keyboardists Rob Clores (The Black Crowes) and John Deley (David Johansen).

The band has just released their first single “Step Up Step Aside” and singer Jimmy Kunes had this to say about it, “Man gets jilted by girl. A possible ultimatum has been delivered. Man does exactly what he shouldn’t do and goes out on the town. Man wakes up groggily to find that the girl hasn’t stepped up, she’s stepped aside. To allow for more futile wasted nights out on the town. Los endos.” Guitarist Angus Clark continues, “It’s a tale of two Jimmies - Kunes and Hendrix! The main guitar riff owes a lot to Hendrix, but the way I’m jumping octaves in it comes from some of Kunes’ signature vocal acrobatics. That’s how we bounce off each other in the writing process. I love the energy on this tune, it reminds me of Thin Lizzy.”

Listen below:

Their self-titled debut album is a powerhouse of straight-ahead rock and roll and is sure to please fans of Led Zeppelin, the Black Crowes, and Rival Sons. From the rocking “Step Up Step Aside” and “Release Yourself” to the stripped-down “Cross To Bear”. The album drops on August 30th and the band will celebrate with a record release party on September 4th at the Bitter End in NYC.

Kunes Clark Band will be available on CD and limited-edition vinyl and signed bundles.

VETERAN VOCALIST DAVID “LEFTY” FOSTER FINALLY RELEASES WHAT A LIFE – THE LOST LA SESSIONS THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT

July 23, 2024

David "Lefty" Foster has been captivated by music, particularly the blues, since his professional singing career began at the tender age of 14. His journey into the blues world was solidified during his twenties when he co-owned the Shaboo Inn, a legendary R&B and jazz nightclub that hosted blues greats such as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and T-Bone Walker. In 1987, he relocated to Los Angeles and seized the opportunity to record his solo album, "What a Life," produced by the esteemed Paul Rothchild (The Doors, Janis Joplin, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Joni Mitchell).

Despite the album's eventual shelving due to unforeseen circumstances, Lefty has now teamed up with Deko Entertainment to bring this album to life, now titled What A Life – The Lost L.A. Sessions. The first single “What A Life” is out now and this what Lefty had to say about it, “I’m very excited to be partnering with Deko Entertainment (ADA/Warner Music Group) and have the opportunity for the world to finally hear this record and these legendary tracks that have never been heard before – I’m really looking forward to it – thank you so much.”

Listen below:

The band will be perform a hometown warm up show in Petaluma, CA on July 27th before heading across the Atlantic for European festivals.

SADUS Tour Dates:

July 27 - Petaluma, CA - Phoenix Theater

Aug 8 - Nottertal-Heilinger Heights, DE - Party San Open Air Festival

‘THE DEVIL IN ME’ LYRIC VIDEO

SADUS is currently touring in support of The Shadow Inside, which was released in November 2023 with Nuclear Blast Records. The band’s 6th full-length was recorded with Juan Urteaga (EXODUS, TESTAMENT, MACHINE HEAD) at Trident Studios and features ominous artwork by accomplished artist Travis Smith (FLESHGOD APOCALPYSE, OPETH). Their first record in 17 years is a contemporary thrash classic with colossal, groove-laden riffs at break-neck rhythm and blistering solos as heard on blistering tracks like ‘Scorched And Burnt,’ ‘It’s The Sickness’ and ‘Ride The Knife,” that further cement the band’s legacy as one of thrash metal’s most quintessential bands.

About SADUS:

After 17 long years since SADUS last bestowed a new record upon the world, the band unleashed the beast once again with the release of their 6th full-length album, The Shadow Inside, with Nuclear Blast Records in November 2023.

Adorned with the compelling artwork of Travis Smith, the album cover depicts an all-consuming demon of the cosmos fiercely enveloping a tortured soul beneath, perfectly encapsulating the vision and duality that the songs on this record deliver. Founder and drummer Jon Allen shares his excitement about working with Travis once again, reminiscing about their collaboration on Elements of Anger. He points out that several tracks on the new album, such as ‘The Devil In Me’ and ‘The Shadow Inside,’ revolve around the idea of an internal entity constantly pushing us. At times, one might find themselves at the edge of reason, attributing their actions to the shadow within, an external force they blame for their choices. While not a concept album per-se, every song deals with life decisions and the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions to unlock the best life has to offer. The track ‘The Shadow Inside’ boasts a heavier and slower tone, with a touch of classic, gut-wrenching grind, creating a fitting climax to the album.

A formidable darkness flows through tracks like ‘Anarchy’. Evidently influenced by the tumultuous post-Covid times of mass hysteria, looting, and general loss of control, the melody reflects this chaotic environment. Allen describes the track as “more straightforward and in-your-face, hitting listeners right in the gut. ”Despite the intensity, SADUS manages to retain their signature death/thrash blend, staying true to their old-school roots. The aggression remains palpable, allowing their music to speak for itself with raw, unapologetic power.

‘Scorched and Burnt’ follows suit, with its steady beat and chaotic vocals seamlessly intertwining with blistering guitar work. The track gradually transitions into an impassioned melody, igniting a fiery explosion as the song nears its conclusion. Although inspired by the literal wildfires that plagued California during its creation, ‘Scorched and Burnt’ delves deeper into the idea that individuals often feel like someone or something is constantly out to get them. Yet, in the end, the song urges unity, recognizing that every action, even in chaos, ripples through the lives of others.

The process of creating The Shadow Inside was unhurried and unencumbered by unnecessary roadblocks. SADUS allowed their creativity to flow naturally, collecting riffs and writing together in person.The band took their time, nurturing and developing their musical ideas until they evolved into the powerful tracks we hear today. Allen emphasizes that their drama-free and family-oriented approach to making music is one of the reasons their sound speaks so powerfully to their fans. Collaborating with Juan Urteaga of Trident Studios added another layer of refinement to the album, as his expertise in death metal played a vital role in shaping its overall sound.

All that being said, SADUS is not a band that simply stands apart from the crowd for the sake of being different. They stand tall, unswayed by mass hysteria and media influences, choosing to make their own decisions and encourage others to do the same. In a world filled with disinformation and false flags, they emphasize the importance of being smart, using common sense, thinking for ourselves, and remaining aware of our surroundings.

With their uncompromising vision, SADUS continues to stand as a beacon of authenticity and integrity within the heavy metal community, forever forging their path in the ever-evolving landscape of music.

Bodysnatcher release new track & video "Infested"

July 23, 2024

Heavy Floridian quartet Bodysnatcher have released their latest track and music video "Infested." The punishing track is featured on the band's EP, Vile Conduct, releasing digitally on September 3 via MNRK Heavy.

Bodysnatcher's Kyle Carter says, "'Infested' is about falling back into depression over and over again. It’s about being on the cusp of giving up and telling yourself that you’re going to do whatever you can to heal and come out okay on the other end. Depression is a lifelong fight, and we’re always going to feel like it’s important to talk about.”

In addition to previously announced EU dates, today, the band announces their extensive U.S. fall tour in support of Fit For An Autopsy. These dates kick off on October 18, 2024, at the Palladium in Worcester, MA, and wrap on November 17 at Toad's Place in New Haven. Full dates are below.

Watch the sinister visual for "Infested" directed by Errick Easterday below:

The band previously released the tracks "Human Disdain," "Severed" and MURDER8 ft. Jamey Jasta from the EP. The Vile Conduct EP sheds light on the human race being disgusting and realizing that it is also part of all of us, whether we want it to or not. Produced by the legendary Will Putney (Fit for an Autopsy, END, Knocked Loose), Vile Conduct touches on personal tales of loss at the hands of addiction and substance, all through a unique lens of bitter remorse and ruthless aggression that only Bodysnatcher could provide.

Since their 2014 inception in Melbourne, Florida, Bodysnatcher have been bringing nothing but the finest in furious, extreme music. Combining crushing breakdowns with eerie ambience, scathing riffs and grisly grooves, the band have become synonymous with “heavy,” invoking violence in every city they happen to visit, spawning mosh pits that leave nothing but craters in their wake.

Black Lava Reign Supreme on New Guitar Playthrough

July 23, 2024

"Perhaps the best thing to come out of Australia since the Bloomin' Onion" - Metal Injection

"Familiar yet undeniably creative, heavy and a clear statement in the darkness of music" - Metal Roos

"A fantastic album...wrapped up in a package that is so tight, you couldn't squeeze in between the layers if you were as thin as paper." - Metal Temple

"Black Lava scrachtes a particular itch when you need music that is heavy, groovy and gritty" - Metal Epidemic

"Riff after riff, chug after chug, these songs bleed with strength and perseverance" - Monuments in Ruin

On their new album, Black Lava summon another perfect storm. The Savage Winds to Wisdom swirls together eerie blackened countermelodies and hexing prog with a heavy load of old-school headbanging. The riffs on "Dark Legacy" loom large, casting a fiery shadow over the kingdom of metal that warns of the band's growing legend.

“We sharpened our tools with this album”, Black Lava says. “We went a little more brutal and that sets the tone for where we’ll head in the future".

Watch the guitar playthrough for "Dark Legacy" below.

The Savage Winds to Wisdom is out now on Season of Mist.

Black Lava erupted out of Australia's metal scene during the first trying year of the pandemic. But the band came together with all the ease of a natural stream. All four members have crossed paths around the various corners of the Melbourne underground. Guitarist Ben Boyle also shreds alongside bassist Nick Rackham in Hadal Maw and A Million Dead Birds Laughing.

Their potent alchemy is the skeleton key that unlocks "Dark Legacy". With the tap of his fingers, Boyle casts a menacing spell from gloomy minor chord dissonance and technical wizardry. Though it's Rackham's monstrous bass groove that hits like a spear straight through the heart.

“We took greater care with compositions on The Savage Winds to Wisdom”, Boyle says. “There’s more depth and layering to the riffs and melodies. By calling on a broader list of inspirations and tones, the album has a real sense of balance, a certain quality that will lend itself to repeat listens and attention to detail, while still staying true to what we set out to do with Black Lava; create heavy, energetic and catchy tunes that emanate a sense of atmosphere and power for the listener.”

The guitar playthrough of "Dark Legacy" was shot at Bushido Studios. It was filmed, edited and coloured by Black Lava's drummer Dan Presland.

Like any good sorcerer, Black Lava cast a wicked array of spells. Dan Presland, Ben Boyle and Rob Watkins treated Outburn magazine to a list of the band's potent influences and most punishing songs.

NYC artist Joe Geni releases cinematic single 'City Where The Sky Subsides', previewing new album

July 23, 2024

"Captivating lyrics, woven into a tapestry of cinematic orchestration, mirror the dynamic interplay of life's experiences, urban evolution, and societal shifts. Built with operatic grandeur, the song's richly orchestrated foundation provides a soaring platform for stunning vocals that capture the essence of our times" ~ Amplify Music Magazine

New York-based artist Joe Geni presents his new single 'City Where The Sky Subsides', an upbeat and high-energy track with captivating lyrics interwoven with cinematic orchestration. Cleverly architected with operatic majesty, stunning vocals soar through the song's richly orchestrated foundation.

This single previews Geni's third album 'Cities Built Upon Cities', which traces the transformation of Long Island City, the part of Queens that Geni calls home, situated across the East River from Manhattan with its stunning skyline views. Now booming with skyscrapers, this place is now haunted by its industrial past and friends who have moved on, revealed in these recordings, which explore themes of change, impermanence, and feeling lost amidst the city's constant evolution.

This album, was produced, mixed and mastered in Brooklyn by Charlie Nieland, a well-respected sound engineer and producer, known for his work with Debbie Harry, Rufus Wainwright, Blondie, Dead Leaf Echo, Oh Halo and Scissors Sisters, in addition to scores, including the feature film 'The Safety of Objects' starring Glenn Close. Awarded a Gold record (UK) for his production of Blondie's 'Greatest Hits Sight & Sound', Nieland also achieved a Top 10 Billboard Dance Chart Position with Debbie Harry's single 'Two Times Blue', which he co-wrote and produced.

"'City Where The Sky Subsides' is a move away from the more electronic sound of many of my other tunes in favor of a straight floor-it-on-the-highway anthemic rock song (amusing since I was quarantined during the recording and the guitar was recorded on a 1/10w amp that fits on a bookshelf)," says Joe Geni.

"This single’s premise is simple: a man disappointed that a promising date got rained out, leaving him “gazing out a double pane stained by exploding rain until the sky subsides.” If you’ve ever ended up stuck inside waiting for the weather to change, this one’s for you."

Originally hailing from Evanston, Illinois, Geni has lived in NYC for most of his adult life (mostly in Long Island City), working various jobs around the United Nations. Making music that soundtracks the Anthropocene, Geni tries to capture what it’s like to search for home in a world that is constantly changing. Exploring the complex relationship between humanity and our environment, he channels these ideas and emotions into sound.

With a distinct, instantly recognizable voice (a blisteringly high tenor with a 3.5 octave range), he has a knack for communicating complex ideas through his lyrics, ruminating on themes related to international affairs, climate change, demography, transportation and urban infrastructure, but also the grand sweep of the human experience, including love, regret, modern art and even dinosaurs.

Since emerging on the music scene with his 2019 debut album 'After Wandering Empire', Geni released his 'Doggerland' album in 2021, both of which were also produced by Charlie Nieland.

Earlier this year, Joe Geni released 'City of Energy', which will also appear on the new album. This pop-meets-dancehall-inspired track is an ode to New Yorkers, who exert enormous efforts to pursue their dreams with no guarantee of reaching them. He explains, "This song is about searching for love in a city that feeds on energy, both from its humans and its electrical grid. The city is hungry. The infrastructure is changing. The people are too. Does it all lead to a happy place? This is the question."

As of July 23, 'City Where The Sky Subsides' will be available everywhere digitally, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. The 'Cities Built Upon Cities' album, out October 4, is now available for pre-order via Bandcamp.

THREE GUESTS, SURPRISE SONGS: Kenny Rocks LA's SoFi Stadium

July 22, 2024

Twenty-four shows into a summer that’s seen the songwriter/superstar from East Tennessee shattering attendance records, besting his own numbers and often moving his stage all the way to the back wall, Kenny Chesney hit Los Angeles like a favorite son come home. Without missing a beat, he moved from a high velocity “Living in Fast Forward” to a surging medley of “Beer In Mexico,” “Keg In The Closet” and guitar-forward “KC/DC,” then a double time “Here And Now” as he returned to SoFi Stadium. The only country act – and second overall to the Rolling Stones – to bring two tours through the Inglewood, Calif.-based venue, the crowd was up and ready for whatever the night might hold.

“You can tell when you hit the stage,” reflected the eight-time Entertainer of the Year, “when an audience is ready to bring everything they’ve got. No Shoes Nation more than showed up at SoFi; they sang hard, were on their feet from the beginning and really leaning into songs that set a positive vibe for living life in the moment.”

Beyond multiple week No. 1s “Summertime,” “Get Along,” “American Kids” and “Save It For A Rainy Day,” the man the Wall Street Journal called “The King of the Road” blazed through fan favorites “Somewhere With You,” “Never Wanted Nothing More,” “How Forever Feels” and “Young.” Even more thrilling: three special guests, who each joined Chesney for a pair of songs.

First up was Uncle Kracker, who romped through the pair’s five week No. 1, double-Platinum smash “When The Sun Goes Down,” followed by sharing Mentor Williams’ “Drift Away,” which Kracker took to No. 1 for 28 weeks on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart. That turned straight into a euphoric rendition of “All The Pretty Girls” with Megan Moroney, rolling into a romping rendition of “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy.”

But the evening’s biggest surprise was Kelsea Ballerini, who the stadium-sized headliner hadn’t realized was in California. Surprising him Saturday with an ask to come sing, the pair dueted on their Country Music Association award-winning “half of my hometown,” as well as a yearning rendition of Chesney’s Grace Potter pairing “You & Tequila.”

“The beauty of music, especially live music, is that every day is different, and every day it will surprise you,” he said after the show. “If you’re in-the-moment of it, you can sing with three really good friends in the same show, and know that will never happen again…”

Certainly, for an audience who bestowed Chesney with license plates invoking song titles from Arizona (DOWNDRD), California (LYKWEDO) and Nevada (1MRSNST), it was a night where music set the tone and delivered a kind of rapture that saw the crowd waving their arms from side-to-side song-after-song and taking chorus-after-chorus along with Chesney and band.

“It’s fun when my friends come out and sing with me,” Chesney says of the night’s collaborations. “It makes the music seem alive. It’s like hearing No Shoes Nation: that’s when all the happy and the magic come together.”

Presented by Blue Chair Bay® Rum, it’s all about the friends, high energy and songs people know by heart.

“...because everything gets hotter when the sun goes down...”

Chicago's Evidence of a Struggle presents 'Keep It' - in defiance of harm, discomfort and damage

July 22, 2024

"Wonderfully cinematic, forward-thinking, open-minded, genre-hopping, rule-breaking... a symphony of sonics, subtlety and suppleness, and of the subverting of expectations" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

"'Keep It' is a relentless prowl of low rumbling concrete scattered with the glass shards of guitar and keyboards. The controlled chaos of the instrumentation is in slow motion... an epic feel, as well as the queasy sense of being drunk and disorientated in an dystopian landscape" ~ Joyzine

"Fascinating... This melodic journey expertly fuses the innovative textures of art rock with the insurgent spirit of alternative music... a complex and immersive auditory universe" ~ Post-Punk.com

"'The coolness of electric jazz, Krautrock-inspired post-rock and atmospheric art rock... a gripping and upbeat refined sound & thoughtful arrangement with sonic prowess"~ Amplify Music Magazine

"Chaotic and lovely" ~ Punk Rock Beat

Chicago-based artist Evidence of a Struggle presents the frustration-laden single 'Keep It', featuring vocals in a truly powerful spoken-word meets post-rock clash. The accompanying animated video was created by fellow Chicago visual artist John Airo.

Centred around the musings of multi-instrumentalist Rev. Billy Simmons, Evidence of a Struggle creates lush, cinematic, beautiful and sometimes chaotic compositions, having released his 13-track debut album 'Evidence of a Struggle' in 2023.

"I decided to sing or rather read and yell on 'Keep It' because life has recently brought many subtle and not-so-subtle signs to my attention. It was showing me that it isn’t this perfect, beautiful dream and that many of us have stopped listening and seeing. We’re taking and not giving, and like I, many have stopped talking, and it’s become murderous," says Rev. Billy.

"I’ve been acutely aware for a long time that we’re not really listening, not seeing... Most of us don’t see or hear each other, nature or our bodies. We employ so many outside elements to help us ignore all those things right in front of us that are harmful, uncomfortable, and damaging."

Launched in 2020 with Rev. Billy playing every instrument and recording from The Glue Factory studio, he joined forces with renowned sound engineer Sanford Parker (Voivod, Russian Circles, Yob, Eyehategod, Wovenhand, Darkthrone) for additional production, recording and mastering. The resulting album is a worthwhile journey, blending numerous sub-genres of the alternative music realm.

"This music was inspired by what was going through my mind during the pandemic. It's all a declaration of solidarity. Some heavy stuff happened right at the beginning of lockdown - with the world, with family, friends, and personally - that affected my outlook on life and how finite and fleeting it is. I realized how fortunate I was to do every little thing that I could do and that it wouldn’t last forever. I was creating music to show people that, even though everyone was going through a tough time, we could still create, share and communicate musically with people and work things out," says Rev. Billy.

"At that time, everyone was telling everyone else what was right and what was wrong, trying to tell people what to do, and not just for their safety, but because they didn’t conform to their way of thinking. There was so much chatter. It was like a bad dream and I didn’t want to become a part of that. I wanted to let the music paint a mental picture as an act of support for whoever listened - in whatever voice spoke to them personally. But then I felt like I also needed to start to use my voice to say the things that I think needed to be said (and let my music with my voice speak to the people it needs to speak to)."

Transforming into a musical chameleon at night, Rev. Billy's day to day entails running Rev. Billy's Chop Shop, a salon with a creative space that regularly showcases artists' work (declared by Chicago Reader as the city's best gallery). Earlier in his journey, Rev. Billy collaborated with RCA artist Ké and artists (like Urge Overkill) on Touch and Go, and other majors like BMG and Universal.

Evidence of a Struggle's next album involves numerous notable artists, including drummer Matt Walker (Smashing Pumpkins, Morrissey, of1000faces, Garbage, Filter) and bassist Alan Berliant (Chris Connelly, Mavis Staples, Saint Asonia), in addition to Solomon Walker (Liz Phair, Bryan Adams, Morrissey, Eastern Shadows, Year of the Rabbit).

'Keep It' is out now as a standalone single via Bandcamp. The 'Evidence of a Struggle' album is also available via Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp.

SPECTRAL WOUND Unleashes Furious New Single, "The Horn Marauding"

July 22, 2024

Québec black metal horde SPECTRAL WOUND is now unleashing the ferocious new single, "The Horn Marauding," which is taken from the band's upcoming fourth studio album, 'Songs Of Blood and Mire,' which will be released on August 23, 2024 via Profound Lore Records. The song can be heard below.

Spectral Wound play black metal. Furious and visceral, untrammeled by esoteric posture or grasping idealism. It is music for the poisoned, the futile, the debauched and profane. The blooming of a flower of corruption, torn by cold winds.

Pre-orders are now live HERE.

In addition, SPECTRAL WOUND will be performing a special run of dates in Canada and the EU/UK! The full run of upcoming performances can be found below.

SPECTRAL WOUND Live Dates 2025:

04/17-20: Oslo (NO) @ Inferno Festival

Spectral Wound play black metal. Furious and visceral, untrammelled by esoteric posture or grasping idealism. It is music for the poisoned, the futile, the debauched and profane. The blooming of a flower of corruption, torn by cold winds.

Following the raw early offering of Terra Nullius (Arcane Angels/Out of Season 2015) Spectral Wound continued their path of creeping, opulent decay and searing melody, weaving strands of Métal noir Québécois with the weft of the Scandinavian canon. Refining its sound over Infernal Decadence (Vendetta, 2018) and the towering, exultant melancholy of A Diabolic Thirst (Profound Lore, 2021), with Songs Of Blood and Mire (Profound Lore 2024) the band delivers an elegy of the void, seething with the venom and clamour of an ever-emptying world.

The album was recorded and mixed by Patrick McDowall (Guitarist in Spectral Wound) at his studio Black Gate and mastered by James Plotkin.

Lineup:

Jonah - vocals

Illusory - drums

Patrick - guitars

Sam - bass

A.A. - guitars

Recorded and mixed by Patrick McDowall

Philadelphia's ROCKERS GALORE presents ‘Blood In The Sand’ feat. Joe Jordan, previewing their debut album

July 22, 2024

"'Blood In The Sand' stuns with its meticulous craftsmanship. Crowned with a smooth and captivating rhythm, this music boasts an extremely unique feel, seamlessly blending a one-of-a-kind melody with a groove that’ll lock you in" ~ Amplify Music Magazine

Philadelphia-based reggae rock-hip hop collective Rockers Galore are here to liven up our lives with their positively sun-soaked summer single. 'Blood In The Sand' previews the band's debut album 'Vamos a la Playa', which will be released on September 13. Featuring Philadelphia guitarist Joe Jordan (Oxymorrons, Pure Hell, JJX), this song also includes a passionate spoken word performance by Sydelle Prosopio.

With a fantastic and infectious fusion of old-school funk and brand-new spunk, Rockers Galore's music is a clever blend of roots, hip hop, reggae, rock, Haitian kompa music and Latin rhythms. The current single is a stunning and meticulously crafted case in point. Since debuting with their 'Port Au Prince' EP in 2011, they have released a steady stream of singles and EPs.

Founded in 2008 by seasoned multi-instrumentalist Blayer Pointdujour, Rockers Galore began as a solo project, gradually involving other artists who were passionate about vision and based on a fruitful songwriting partnership with guitarist Adam Benites.

About 'Blood In The Sand', Adam Benites recalls, “One of my best friends, Leo Mintek, took me to see a killer band named Locobeach in Brooklyn and, when I got back to Philly, I began writing this. Then everyone else did their magic. I did bass first, then I started layering guitars. Cleaned some stuff up and sent the idea to Blayer. He re-recorded the bass, did what he does and it really started to come to life. We wanted to write a jammed out ending, so we went to our rehearsal studio and started jamming. We all came up with the outro. We had been trying to get one of our best friends, Joe Jordan, to jump on something for a while now and I'm glad he's on this one. He crushed it.”

Blayer Pontdujoir adds, “For this song, I struggled to come up with lyrics for a while. Inspired by the Latin-style guitar playing, I decided to write about the Taino Rebellion. The lyrics detail the last fight of a Taino couple against the Spaniards in the early 16th century. Adam wrote the guitar part. I added drums and bass. Our horn players added their parts. After composing the skeleton of this track, we started playing it live. Michael created the final drum arrangement. We went to Creep Records to record vocals, mix, and master. I asked my friend Sydelle to recite a poem I had written about the last battle on the beach, and Joe Jordan ripped the guitar solo on the outro!”

Truly a labor of love, the debut album 'Vamos a la Playa' is the product of four years of songwriting, rehearsals, pre-production and arrangements across distances. From initial sketches through to full realization, the tracks found on this album eventually crystallized in a professional studio, where the final recordings were completed and ultimately mixed and mastered.

While 'Blood In The Sand' was mixed & mastered by Arik Creep at Creep Records Studio, all other album tracks were recorded, mixed & mastered at Milkboy the Studioby Tommy Joyner (of Digable Planets), who has overseen recordings by James Taylor, Dave Matthews and Miley Cyrus, among many other notable artists.

"For this album, we took our time and waited until we felt inspired to write. This is a mix of rhythms we enjoy playing. We aim to honor our diverse backgrounds in music and create a new sound that people have not heard before. We believe this is our best work to date," says Blayer Pontdujour, adding, “I grew up with a lot of first-generation Americans. We all came from different backgrounds but we learned to respect each others’ cultures. I try to mix the genres in an effort to bring everyone together.”

Since Rockers Galore released their debut EP 'Port Au Prince' in 2011, they've released the singles 'Philando', 'Cultivation', 'Bloody Crown' and 'Big Haiti’s Dream', as well as three EP's - 'Sak Pase' in 2019, 'Troddin Out of Babylon' in 2021, and 'Promised Land' in 2022.

As of July 22, 'Blood In The Sand' is available from fine digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. The full 'Vamos a la Playa' album will be released everywhere on September 13.
