MANY EYES Shares New Music Video for "Speechless," Kicking Off North American Tour Next Week

ORDER 'THE LIGHT AGE' HERE

Emerging metallic hardcore outfit MANY EYES is now debuting the official music video for the song, "Speechless," which was filmed on day off during the band's recent North American tour at Mahall's Lanes in Lakewood, OH. The video can be found below.

“'Speechless' was the first song I ever demoed for Many Eyes," explains Buckley. "It set a standard for us that we still aspire towards when writing even to this day-make it heavy, make it good, make it cool.”

"Speechless" is taken from the band's debut full-length, 'The Light Age,' which was released in September 2024 via Perseverance Media Group! The album can be found HERE.

Many Eyes began in the winter of 2022 when Keith Buckley (Ex-Every Time I Die, The Damned Things) connected with brothers Nick (Producer/ Owner of Dexter's Lab Recording) and Charlie Bellmore (Corpsegrinder/ Toxic Holocaust) through their mutual friend, Jamey Jasta, frontman for metal legends Hatebreed. 'The Light Age' was written and recorded over a few weeks in both Buffalo, NY, and Milford, CT, where the members reside. 

Many Eyes is currently working on their second album. 

MANY EYES is about to embark on its third U.S. tour, supporting THE AMITY AFFLICTIONalongside HAIL THE SUN. Recently, they supported the legendary SUM 41 on their final tour, stoner rock stalwarts CLUTCH, and post-hardcore icons, THURSDAY. Their ability to engage an array of audiences shows a prowess in crossing genres. With Alan Hague now on guitar and Sean Vallie on bass, alongside Nick Bellmore’s powerful drumming and Keith Buckley’s commanding vocals, the band remains focused on pushing forward and exploring new creative horizons.

Progressive Super Metallers IMMINENT SONIC DESTRUCTION Announce New Album 'Floodgate' Out April 25th

Progressive super metallers IMMINENT SONIC DESTRUCTION are excited to announce their upcoming album 'Floodgate', releasing on April 25th. To celebrate the announcement, ISD has released the first single from the record titled "Memento Mori", accompanied by a lyric video available to view below.

About the single, guitarist/vocalist Tony Piccoli comments:

“As soon as we finished writing this song, we knew we had something special. This music paired with Pete’s lyrics, I think we have something powerful to offer the prog-metal community and beyond. Friends of mine have said it’s one of my best guitar solos to date, and I think they’re high. Anyway, thank you for checking it out!” 

Pete Hopersberger adds:

"My dad used to say, 'No one gets out alive,' and I hear it in my head whenever I think of him. My family is Catholic, and there’s a practice in our faith called Memento Mori (Latin for remember that you must die), which encourages us to contemplate the last 4 things: death, judgment, heaven, and hell. In doing so, we remind ourselves to live each day as if we’re going to meet God and to prepare our soul for that. It’s a tall task, and I know I fail regularly, but we only get better when we aim high."



Watch the Lyric Video for "Memento Mori" below:

IMMINENT SONIC DESTRUCTION (ISD), hailing from Metro Detroit, have carved out their niche in the metal world with their signature Progressive Super Metal sound. Since their debut album 'Recurring Themes' (2012), produced by Roy Z, the band has toured with the likes of Pain of Salvation, Kingcrow, Fates Warning, and Circus Maximus, steadily building their reputation.

After their critically acclaimed concept album 'Triumphia' and their emotional third release 'The Sun Will Always Set', ISD are set to return in 2025 with their fourth album, 'Floodgate', once again produced by Nick Hagen. 'Floodgate' promises a dynamic mix of concise, heavy, and epic tracks, rich with vocal harmonies and standout performances from every member. This album pushes the band’s progressive metal songwriting even further, marking another milestone in their evolution.

About the album, Piccoli states:

"'Floodgate' is the idea that after a significant event in life, artists and musicians alike tend to open up the floodgate of creativity and let it all out. This album is a celebration of that floodgate opening up. We’re super proud of this one, and we hope you’ll enjoy the different paths this album will take you.”

Wrath of Logarius Enter the Void on New Single

Much like their Bloodborne namesake, Wrath of Logarius are impossible to predict. But no matter what skeletal form they assume, their upcoming debut album, Crown of Mortis, pronounces them as the unflinching kings of black metal's formless new realm.

Watch the mind-melding playthrough for new single "Of the Void" below.

Crown of Mortis comes out April 4 on Season of Mist.

After emerging from the misty forests of Northern California four years ago, Wrath of Logarius spread through the world of underground metal like a bloodborne virus. "...a ferocious display of intent which signifies the band's potential to become a powerhouse", New Noise wrote about the band's burning introduction.

Many hunters would've reaped their rewards while resting their bones, but Crown of Mortis only builds on the band's growing lore. The album's first single summoned all the bloody runes from the band's formless spellbook. Now armed with newly minted Strega guitars, Wrath of Logarius cycle through the many moonlit phases of black metal on "Of the Void".

New bassist Xolotl opens the icy procession with dissonant bass chugs, as if marching toward death. Like a howling wind, Vastator whips across a darkened stretch of classic tremolo picking, only to climb like mist through a solo that drips with despair.     

"Open the gates and let revision in", Noctifier screams before being engulfed by the blistering flames from Lord Marco's blast beats. "Slowly dismantle every part of you". 

On "Of the Void", Wrath of Logarius usher black metal into a boundless new realm.   

For this playthrough, Wrath of Logarius used Strega Master Elite series Lamia 7s loaded with custom Arcana Glaive Pickups. 

On Crown of Mortis, Wrath of Logarius bend black metal to fit their formless rule.

 The music and life story of beloved country music icon and legend Loretta Lynn will be celebrated and depicted in a new stage musical COAL MINER’S DAUGHTER starring Tony Award-winner Sutton Foster
 
The production is in development under the direction of Tony Award-winner Sam Gold. Music Production is by Tony Award-winner Jeanine Tesori. Gold and Tesori last worked together on the Tony Award-winning musical Fun Home.
 
Loretta Lynn's manager, producer, and daughter, Patsy Lynn, and longtime adviser, Nancy Russell, will act as consulting producers.
 
Inspired by the award-nominated 1980 film and autobiography by Loretta Lynn and George Vecsey, Coal Miner's Daughter chronicles Loretta’s rise from humble beginnings in rural Kentucky to country music legend. The stage adaptation will include songs from Loretta’s career and share stories from Loretta’s life beyond the film’s ending.
 
Loretta Lynn, one of country music’s most iconic figures, left an indelible mark on the genre with a career spanning over six decades. Known for her powerful storytelling and unapologetically honest lyrics, she sold over 45 million records worldwide and earned numerous accolades, including multiple Grammy Awards, Country Music Association (CMA) awards, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom. Her legacy includes timeless hits such as “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” “You Ain’t Woman Enough,” and “The Pill.”  Lynn’s career, which began in the early 1960s, was marked by its longevity and influence. She passed away on October 4, 2022, at the age of 90, leaving behind a profound impact on music and culture.
 
"We are so grateful to see that our mother's life story and music will continue to touch the hearts of audiences and remain an important statement of the American dream,” said the family of Loretta Lynn. “As one of the last creative projects our mom was so passionate about, we are thankful that she had the opportunity to experience the initial stages of Sutton's sincere portrayal of Loretta. Mom absolutely fell in love with her and thought she was just the right person to play her onstage. The family is moved by this incredible team's commitment to her legacy." 
 
The producing team committed to bringing the iconic story of Loretta Lynn’s life to the stage include Broadway veterans Kristin Caskey, Mike Isaacson, Bee Carrozzini, and ATG Entertainment.
 
Released on March 7, 1980, Coal Miner’s Daughter received seven Academy Award nominations including Best Picture and Best Writing and Sissy Spacek won the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Coal Miner’s Daughter was also awarded Best Motion Picture by the Golden Globes, National Board of Review, National Film Preservation Board and the Academy of Country Music Awards.

STAN LYNCH (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) Announces Formation of THE SPEAKER WARS + Debut Music Video

STAN LYNCH, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, long-time drummer and founding member of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, announces today the formation of THE SPEAKER WARS. After two decades of recording and touring multiple albums with The Heartbreakers, STAN moved to the other side of the recording console and shifted his focus to production and songwriting. Over the years, STAN has written and produced hits for artists in multiple genres, including the Eagles, Don Henley, Tim McGraw, The Mavericks, Ringo Starr, The Byrds, Toto, and The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

Watch the Debut Music Video for “You Make Every Lie Come True” below:

While writing in Nashville, a publisher introduced STAN to Texas singer-songwriter, Jon Christopher Davis, who was gathering material for a solo record on a major label. After accumulating an album’s worth of songs, Jon abandoned working on a solo record and the two decided to start a band to perform the newly created material. Adding Jay Michael Smith on guitar, Brian Patterson on bass, Steve Ritter on percussion, and Jay Brown on keyboards, THE SPEAKER WARS was born.

The band then headed into 5M Studios in Denton, TX, with co-producer Mike Pisterzi, and produced a full-length album. Upon hearing the material, Frontiers Records immediately signed the band, and their debut album is scheduled for release on May 30th.

STAN LYNCH says:

"After my 20-year tenure with the Heartbreakers, I got a second act writing and producing. It was educational beyond measure to learn how to create music from the other side of the glass. Around this time, I met Jon Christopher Davis in Nashville who casually mentioned that we should start a band –– so here I am –– in THE SPEAKER WARS and it's good to have my old job back. The guys in our new band know how to make great music, and I'm looking forward to another round.”

Stan Lynch - Drums

Jon Christopher Davis - Vocals

Known for their iconic mix of industrial, electro, and dance music, Lords of Acid has been shaking the foundations of the music world since the early '90s with hits like “Pussy” and “I Sit on Acid.” Their live shows are notorious for their energy, boundary-pushing visuals, and relentless dance grooves. This tour marks a monumental chapter in the band’s long-standing legacy and a new chapter as former

Butcher Babies singer CARLA HARVEY joins the band.

"I had three favorite bands in high school: Guns N’ Roses, Pantera and LORDS OF ACID. Each one shaped me and uniquely influenced me as an artist. LOA had me hooked from the moment I heard “I Sit On Acid” as a teenager dancing the night away at Detroit’s goth Industrial Haven City Club. My obsession with LOA only grew after I saw Coop’s artwork on the cover of “Voodoo U”. Now I get to record an album and go on tour with my industrial heroes! Pinch 16 year old me! She’ll be the one in the vocal booth. I’m adding a bucket list item to my resume: Reigning “Acid Queen”. Praise the Lords!" - CARLA HARVEY 

"We are delighted to have such a fearlessly, powerful and strong women as Carla Harvey is as the new "Acid Queen"! Carla has a history as a successful heavy metal singer but her ability, range and styles are broad and impressive! She is more than cut out for the job as the new singer for

LORDS OF ACID. Plus she is drop dead gorgeous and a total professional. And Little Miss Nasty are perfect to have on tour with us. They too are fearless and unapologetically bad ass women. I have admired watching them create a huge name for themselves since they first toured with LOA in 2019." - MAURICE ENGELEN

LORDS OF ACID manager Marc Jordan says -

"We have engineered and envisioned this tour to be like no other tour LOA has ever done. When you walk into the venue, you will know exactly where you are - at a Lords Of Acid show. The pre show ambience, the lighting, the visuals and the atmosphere need to transport, elevate and stimulate the audience physically, mentally and spiritually. With LITTLE MISS NASTY and LORDS OF ACID, this whole night breathes debauchery, darkness, fun and pure sensory overload from beginning to end."

LITTLE MISS NASTY

Little Miss Nasty is widely recognized as the global icons of dark performance art and burlesque inspired dance. They blend elements of metal, goth, EDM, industrial and hip-hop with provocative choreography, big theatrical production, bold and sensual visuals, and a fierce, empowered attitude. Little Miss Nasty also released their debut album Weapon Of Choice last year and continues to release critically acclaimed original songs.

Movements Share New Song "Where I Lay" — LISTEN // Tour Kicks Off 3/1

MOVEMENTS are delighted to share the brand new song "WHERE I LAY."

Watch and listen via the visualizer below.

The song boasts Movements' signature push and pull guitar tension, but there is a level of stunning refinement of the band's sonic hallmarks. It also finds the band exploring some territory it had stepped away from in the songwriting process.

"'Where I Lay' is one of those songs that was tough for me to write," says vocalist Patrick Miranda. "Lyrically, it's really emotionally vulnerable and it had me revisiting places with my writing that I hadn't explored in a while. It's for anyone else out there who feels like they've never quite fit right in the world. This one is for the outcasts."

Regarding the single's striking, black and white artwork and its overarching connective tissue with the previously released Movements song "Afraid To Die," Miranda states, "It's a behind-the-scenes film photo that I took at the 'Afraid To Die' music video shoot!"

He furthers, "The idea is that 'Afraid To Die' and 'Where I Lay' are living in the same world thematically — and, in some ways, are extensions of one another. In 'Afraid To Die,' I'm being chased by masked figures. In 'Where I Lay,' the masked figure is going to be me. Since 'Where I Lay' is about feeling like you don't belong; it's almost this idea that the reason I was being chased in 'Afraid To Die' is because I never really was supposed to be part of the group of masked figures to begin with. It's like you're wearing a mask to try to blend in, but in the end, it's pointless... because one way or another, you'll be found out."

In other Movements news, the band will embark on their 2025 North American Tour, joined by special guests Citizen, Scowl, and Downward. Produced by Live Nation, the 24-city tour kicks off on March 1 at Marquee Theatre in Tempe, AZ making stops across North America in Atlanta, Toronto, Brooklyn, Detroit, Chicago, and more, before wrapping up in Los Angeles at The Torch at the LA Coliseum on April 6.

ABOUT MOVEMENTS:
It's been a whirlwind few years for Movements as evidenced by the fact that band's 2020 albumNo Good Left to Givedebuted at #3 on the Alternative chart and their streams have doubled since then with 478 million total streams in the U.S. alone. However, despite their success, the Southern Californian act have constantly reinvented themselves since forming in 2015 and the band's third full-lengthRUCKUS!sees the post-hardcore quartet taking their sound to expansive and sometimes unexpected places. Produced by longtime collaborator Will Yip (Circa Survive, Code Orange), the album fuses post-hardcore and punk influences with a healthy dose of pop songcraft to create an album that defies scene conventions in favor of something wholly unique. In order to accomplish this, the band made three extended trips to Yip's Studio 4 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, to write and record the collection of songs that would end up asRUCKUS! "I truly don't believe that it could have been a more streamlined process and I don't think we've ever written music that's as good as what we put together for this record," Miranda explains.RUCKUS!sees the band integrating decidedly different influences such as Gorillaz and Strokes into their sound to challenge people's preconceptions.

Profiler Release Deluxe Version of "A Digital Nowhere" + Share "Faker" Visualizer

 PROFILER have released the deluxe edition of their debut album A Digital Nowhere, via SharpTone Records, along with a visualizer for the focus track"Fakers;" a song which Mike Evans describes to be "about drug and alcohol abuse" and "using substances to escape one's personal pain."

The new deluxe edition is available to stream on all major platforms here

Watch the visualizer for "Fakers" below:

ABOUT PROFILER:

Profiler are a nu metal reawakening from the mind of vocalist and guitarist Mike Evans. This band is inspired by those who have incited change in genres, arts, and theories. It's a weight of legacy that Profiler is comfortable shouldering, backed by SharpTone Records, its home since 2020.

 

After starting as a solo project in Bristol, UK, Evans stepped out from the studio and onto the stage, enlisting bassist/vocalist Joe Johnson and drummer Oscar Hocking. In early 2023, Hocking departed to be replaced by Brad Ratcliffe, cementing the line-up that would forge 2024's debut album — A Digital Nowhere.

 

Profiler's nu-metal-grunge-alt-rock, call it what you want, is an abrasive distorted soundscape that reverently glances back to those genres' heydays. Profiler is for anyone who misses or missed the contagious nineties Seattle grunge movement or the explosion of nu-metal that dominated the '00s and the genre-bending bands they made a path for.

Manchester electro pop artist Richard Evans shares 'Aidoru' single, previewing new album

Manchester-based electro pop artist Richard Evans is back with his new single. 'Aidoru', released via Cold Star Media, is named for the Japanese word meaning "idol". The song's lyrics explore the status of a virtual pop idol designed only to please its audience as it sings of love with no understanding of what the word means.

A British-Irish electronic musician, writer and digital media artist, Evans' foray into the music scene includes time as the keyboardist in UK cult band James, with whom he also co-wrote and recorded material, and as guitarist and songwriter for St. Vitus Dancers.

'Aidoru' previews Evans' new 'Quantum' album, released in stereo, binaural and spatial audio mixes, created by award-winning Swiss sound designer Hervé Girardin. Recorded at Cold Star Studios, this nine-track collection itself is themed around artificial intelligence -  probing its impact upon us,  how algorithms are changing us and questioning what responsibility we bear for the things we create.

"This song is one of the first written for the new album and marks a change in my writing process, being originated on just piano and vocals rather than devised within studio software. I specifically wanted a bright, hi-energy track to match the commerciality of the virtual idol concept. The lyrics reflect a creation that is designed for just one purpose - to serve its listeners," says Richard Evans.

Last year, Evans released his 'Dream of the World' EP, composed and recorded in the aftermath of a life-threatening illness. In 2022, Evans was struck with Miller Fisher Syndrome, a rare auto-immune disorder that threatened to rob him of his ability to speak, sing, and play music. Yet, against all odds, he emerged victorious, relearning everything from scratch -  a testament to his unwavering determination and a celebration of his triumph over adversity.

Richard Evans' draws inspiration from real-world science, exploring biotechnology, machine intelligence and the environment. For this album, existing songs were refined and new material was written, combining the warmth of classic synths with pared-down lyrics that explore real-world subject matter.

His 2022 debut record 'Sentinel' is an electro-pop concept album that touches on micro-plastics, gene editing, stardust, technogenic disasters and human evolution, telling the story of humanity at a tipping point and a world trapped in a climate crisis. Both 'Sentinel' and 'Dream of the World' were met with critical acclaim and global airplay.

He has performed live shows at festivals around the UK and at the end of 2023, a year on from the illness, he delivered his first large-scale outdoor production with visuals projected onto the exterior of a  venue during a performance. In 2024, Evans also received the Cultural Accelerator commission from Media Immersive Technology Innovation Hub to prototype a new live production featuring hologram-style projections, spatial audio and lighting effects.

Evans also wrote, directed and produced the science fiction drama 'AEON'. An author of many short stories, he also published the novel 'KOSMONAUT ZERO' (via Dead Ink), researched at Star City Cosmonaut Training Centre. He also oversaw the 'Gagarin 50' exhibition for the 50th anniversary of the first human spaceflight by Yuri Gagarin.

As of February 18, 'Aidoru' is available everywhere online, including SpotifyApple Music and directly from the artist via Bandcamp. The full 'Quantum' album will be released on April 25 via Cold Star Media.

GARAGE ROCK PIONEERS THE FIFTH ESTATE DROP "HOLD YOU CLOSER" SINGLE & VIDEO FROM UPCOMING ALBUM THEN AND NOW

A rock band out of a factory section of Stamford, CT by way of NYC. The Fifth Estate often played 5 or 6 hours a night, 6 nights a week, for months at a time. They rocked harder and heavier than most bands of the 60s. This did them no great service due to the AM Radio pop required of the day. So on a bet at a NYC party they jokingly did “Ding Dong The Witch is Dead”. It was a huge hit around the world. This and 3 other hits moved them on to huge concert around the country. Live they were ahead of things in the 60s and as Tomorrow Is My Turn could show you they already played what would become the thing in the 70s and again in the 90s and then and now again with bands like Oasis in the 2020s.

They stayed all these years doing what they do. Sometimes underground. Sometimes above ground. And now they will release a timeless album called THEN and NOW of all new tunes and a few covers. With the great guitar player and Grammy Winning producer Paul Nelson (Johnny Winter) on it, you can hear all that again. Starting with the first single “Hold You Closer”.

Watch video Below:

As Ken Evans states about the first single, “”Hold You Closer” is a rather beautifully heart felt tune about life and love when in the music business. May be understood by most musicians instantly and then soon by all. From Lover's Leap Bridge to the exhilarating real thing all in a day and night.” There are 15 songs in all with an amazing rendition of the classic “Great Balls of Fire”.

WEDNESDAY 13 Announces 10th Studio Album "Mid Death Crisis" + Drops Scandalous New Music Video

After returning in 2022 with his widely-acclaimed full-length album Horrifier (#8 US Top New Artist Albums), as well as several major tours supporting his solo work and celebrated Murderdolls reunion shows, world-renowned fearsome frontman WEDNESDAY 13 is back with another slew of harbingers of horror to slay the masses.

His new full-length album, Mid Death Crisis, is set to drop on April 25 via Napalm Records.

Watch the "When The Devil Commands" Music Video here.

The Duke of Spook himself dubs the album as a fun, campy, "leave-your-brain-at-the-door" rager and a true return to his hard-rocking roots! Produced by guitarist Alex Kane (Life, Sex & Death, Enuff Z'Nuff, Antiproduct) and mixed by Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Prong, DevilDriver), the album oozes infectious '80s sleaze metal energy, further accented by a blitzing guest vocal from Faster Pussycat's Taime Downe.

WEDNESDAY 13 has unveiled the album's first single, the ultra-catchy "When The Devil Commands," and its equally raucous, blasphemous new music video. The track stuns with an unforgettable hook, charging arena rock-laden drum production and chugging guitars.

WEDNESDAY 13 comments, "Growing up in the '80s, I remember the satanic panic of heavy metal music and parents' concern over what their kids were listening to. My mother was constantly checking my cassettes and making sure I wasn't possessed by the devil. Most of the music that I listened to never had any of those themes, but they were just accused of it. So when writing the lyrics to this song, I wrote what I thought would terrify my mother if she had stumbled upon this music. I wanted the lyrics to be upfront and leave no question as to what they were about...The Devil. This song is done in a fun spirit, and we don't plan on burning any churches in the future."

Eerie introductory track "There's No Such Thing As Monsters" vibrates with electricity before industrial-tinged "Decease and Desist" kicks in full blast.WEDNESDAY 13's trademark crooning wastes no time entering the fold as he careens through the high-octane horror anthem, before tracks like "Rotting Away" and "Blood Storm" ensnare with metallic goth-punk energy that will have crowds moving wall to wall. Featuring Faster Pussycat's Taime Downe on guest vocals, standout heavy rocker "No Apologies" is a fast-romping exorcism of toxic demons, while the triumphant mini-murder ballad "Decapitation" riles up listeners with a catchy lead riff before making a hard left into a theatrical bridge straight out of a sinister '60s sock hop! Ragers like "In Misery," "Xanaxtasy" and "Sick and Violent" explore various genres of metal, injecting the album with elements of gripping heaviness for any listener, while downtempo stunners "I Hurt You" and "My Funeral" approach a more pensive territory. 

Although its title, Mid Death Crisis, may suggest otherwise, the Duke of Spook shows zero signs of stopping on this refreshingly powerful and multi-faceted entry into the WEDNESDAY 13 hall of horrific history!

Pre-Order Mid Death Crisis here.

The North American "There's No Such Thing As Monsters" tour kicks off Friday, March 14 in Las Vegas, NV. The tour celebrates 20 years of Transylvania 90210and will include a "best of" Murderdolls set!

Nightfall Return with Darkest, Catchiest and Most Epic Album Yet

Since 1991, Nightfall have stood alongside Rotting Christ and Septicflesh as the pioneering trinity of Greek metal. The blackened death metal band sound as vengeful as ever. But the Athenians' upcoming eleventh album is their darkest and most epic creation yet. Backed by monumental production, a powerful message and the biggest choruses in the band's 30-year history, with Children of Eve, Efthimis Karadimas and his fellow rebels are set to unite blackened souls everywhere.   
 

"I love how this album came out", Efthimis says. "We're excited to play these songs live. The sound is massive. The choruses are huge. And there's a message that comes through. It's an album about how we come through pain, how we live with pain and how we die in pain".
 

Watch the vengeful video for the album's anthemic lead single "I Hate" below.

The video for "I Hate" was directed and produced by Adam Barker


Children of Eve comes out May 2, 2025 on Season of Mist.

Like their brothers-in-arms, Nightfall sculpt towering gothic melodies from their blackened slab of death metal. After all, they're the first Greek band to perform at Wacken Open Air. Children of Eve is blessed with the mightiest set of hooks in their deep discography. Their new album was mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen, who's worked with Volbeat, Amaranthe, The Black Dahlia Murder and many other big names from metal's pantheon. "I Hate" seethes with thunderous bass, riffs that crack like lightning and blast beats from ex-Septicflesh drummer Fotis Benardo that flow with all the fire and fury of the River Styx.

"I am a manic servant of deity of doom", Efthimis roars as a Greek choir echoes his righteous anger like the call of a siren.

Their new single will have the festival masses headbanging and raising horns, but it wouldn't bear the mark of Nightfall if it didn't possess a deeper message. While the band's disdain for the restrictions of the Eastern Orthodox Church has only grown, their latest act of rebellion was fueled by the ongoing rise of religious wars. "Anger was the root", Efthimis reveals about what inspired Children of Eve. In the video for "I Hate", a fallen warrior is resurrected, only to hunt down his guardian angel.

"Faith is a personal matter", Efthimis continues, "but it can become a dirty business".

It's a message that the frontman hopes will unite metal messiahs across the globe. While Nightfall was on hiatus during the 2010s, Efthimis was diagnosed with depression. He now wears a black mask to cover half of his face to symbolize what's it's like to live under the invisible veil of mental illness. "We can talk about this. We can sing about it", he says when asked about the band's new initiative Metal Music Against Depression (MMaD), which is supported by the European Alliance Against Depression in Germany. "We can build a community that's based on understanding".  

With Children of Eve, Nightfall return from the shadows to unite blackened souls everywhere with their darkest and most epic creation yet.

RED REIGN SET TO OPEN FOR LA GUNS THIS SPRING, IN SUPPORT OF 'DON'T LOOK BACK' LP

Virginia-based rockers Red Reign are honored to announce a string of east coast dates that they will open for LA Guns throughout late April and early May.

"We are excited to be back on the road supporting one of our favorite bands, LA Guns," said the band in a statement. 

"We are looking forward to being back on stage performing live – material from our latest release and fan favorites, and continuing to meet new friends along the way."

 

Taking 80’s influences but steering them in a more contemporary direction, Red Reign (which is comprised of members singer/guitarist Carlton “Bubba” McMichael, guitarist Stevie Shred, bassist Larry Moore, and drummer Sammy Lee) bridge the sounds of yesterday and today, and can compete with the current active rock radio climate – as heard throughout their aforementioned 2023 full-length debut, ‘Don’t Look Back,’ which was supported by opening shows last year for classic rockers Nazareth. 

 

Overseen by Grammy Award-nominated multi-platinum producer David Ivory(Halestorm, Silvertide), the ten-track LP features such standout tracks as “Don’t Look Back” (which features a guest appearance by guitarist George Lynch), “Here I Am,” and “No Peace, No Love.” The band strongly feels that “All types of music lovers can find what they like in each one of our songs.” To check out the group's music video for "Don't Look Back," below.
