Ian Munsick Releases “Horses Not Hearts” Official Music Video

On the heels of releasing his third studio album, Eagle Feather, via Warner Music Nashville on Friday (April 18), Ian Munsick is debuting the official music video for “Horses Not Hearts” today. Watch below. 
 
Highlighted by Rolling Stone as a “tongue-in-cheek, high-tempo promise of love,” “Horses Not Hearts” was written by Andy Albert, Michael Tyler and Ben Stennis, and debunks the common trope that often paints cowboys as heartbreakers on the run.
 
The music video, directed by Dustin Haney, was filmed across Sheridan, Wyoming and Decker, Montana. The video opens with renowned horse trainer and Munsick’s family friend Buck Brannaman, affectionately referred to as “The Horse Whisperer,” intertwining the transferable life lessons that come with the process of breaking a horse. 
 
Throughout the 3:49, the video conveys the passing of time in a relationship, panning between Brannaman and his wife, Mary, while starring Reata and Gabe Clark as the younger version of the couple, ultimately conveying the steadfastness of their love. 
 
The “Horses Not Hearts” music video follows the release of the official music video for “Feather In My Hat ft. Lainey Wilson” on April 18. Billboard notes of the duet that Wilson and Munsick’s “sonorous renderings infuse the song with a soulful charisma,” while American Songwriter applauds the song’s “heart-swelling language.”
 
For a good portion of 2024, Munsick was on the road with Wilson. While on the road, he cooked up the deeply personal and delicately poignant “Feather In My Hat.” Munsick knew that if Wilson lent her vocals, it would give it another layer of emotional depth. After a show at New York City’s legendary Radio City Music Hall, Munsick asked Wilson if she’d contribute her vocals. The answer was a resounding yes. 
 
Watch the “Feather In My Hat” official music video HERE.

Eagle Feather was produced by Munsick, Jared Conrad and Jeremy Spillman, and features 20 tracks, including duets with Wilson and Flatland Cavalry lead singer Cleto Cordero, with songwriter credits by fellow singer/songwriters Caitlyn Smith and Stephen Wilson Jr. as well as two rare outside cuts in “Drink Around” and “Horses Not Hearts.” 
 
Munsick debuted songs off the album at The Pinnacle in Nashville on Thursday, April 17 alongside surprise guests Cleto Cordero, Lainey Wilson, Stephen Wilson Jr. and Ryan Charles. The set left The Tennessean praising Munsick as “a virtuoso entertainer.”

Eric Church's 'Evangeline Vs. The Machine' Listening Events Set for May 2-4 at Indie Record Stores Nationwide

Indie record stores across the country will come alive the weekend of May 2–4 as over 100 locations celebrate the arrival of Eric Church’s highly anticipated new album, Evangeline vs. The Machine, with exclusive listening events. The first fans in each store will be treated to a limited-edition Eric Church poster and all attendees will have the chance to enter a special grand prize giveaway. Full details including participating locations can be found at recordstoreday.com.
 
Arriving May 2, Evangeline vs. The Machine marks another ambitious and sonically rich chapter in the groundbreaking career of one of country music’s most fearless storytellers. Anchored by lead single “Hands of Time” – which debuted as the most-added song at Country radio and earned Church a new personal record for first-week impact with 135 stations – the album is available to pre-order/pre-save HERE.
 
Fans attending the listening events will hear the new project in full, an experience Church places heavy importance on when creating. A self-proclaimed “album artist,” Church has always championed the power of cohesive storytelling, and Evangeline vs. The Machine is no exception. “An album is a snapshot in time that lasts for all time,” Church shares of the creative approach behind the highly-anticipated new project. “I believe in that time-tested tradition of making records that live and breathe as one piece of art – I think it’s important.”
 
“I’ve always let creativity be the muse. It’s been a compass for me,” he adds. “The people that I look up to in my career and the kind of musicians I gravitate to never did what I thought they were going to do next – and I love them for it. I never want our fans to get an album and go, ‘Oh, that’s like Chief or that’s like this.’ Painstakingly, I lose sleep at night to try to make sure that whatever we do creatively, they go, ‘Wow, that's not what I thought.’ I think that's my job as an artist.”

Church will also bring the new music and his esteemed catalog to life onstage later this spring and summer with a run of high-profile shows, kicking off with two To Beat The Devil residency shows at London’s revered Royal Albert Hall on May 16-17 before a sold-out, two-night takeover of Nashville’s The Pinnacle May 23–24 for Evangeline vs. The Machine Live. In July, he heads west for what has become a roughly once-a-decade experience at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where fans can expect a unique set each evening across three sold-out shows: Eric Church vs. The Machine; Eric Church vs. The ECB; and Eric Church vs. The Guitar.

About Eric Church
A seven-time ACM Award winner, four-time CMA Award winner (including the 2020 award for Entertainer of the Year) and 10-time GRAMMY nominee – including three nods for Best Country Album, Eric Church has amassed a passionate fan base around his critically acclaimed catalog of music. Church’s October 2024 release, “Darkest Hour,” saw the superstar signing over all of his publishing royalties to the people of North Carolina to provide immediate relief following the devastation of Hurricane Helene while also providing ongoing funds to support a more resilient future for his home state. The song is featured alongside current single “Hands Of Time” on his forthcoming album, Evangeline vs. The Machine arriving May 2, marking his first new music since 2021’s Heart & Soul triple album (“Stick That In Your Country Song,” “Hell Of A View”). That project followed prior releases including RIAA Gold-certified Desperate Man (“Some Of It,” “Desperate Man”), Platinum-certified Sinners Like Me (“How ’Bout You,” “Guys Like Me”), Carolina (“Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most”) and Mr. Misunderstood (“Record Year,” “Round Here Buzz”), Double-Platinum certified The Outsiders (“Like a Wrecking Ball,” “Talladega”) and 4x Platinum-certified Chief (“Springsteen,” “Drink In My Hand”), as well as 32 Gold, Platinum and multi-Platinum certified songs.

JOHN MORGAN AND JASON ALDEAN TOP THE COUNTRY RADIO CHART

Billboard’s “Rookie of the Month (Country)” and MULTI #1 hit songwriter John Morgan scores career-first #1 as an artist (third as a songwriter) with the rowdy party starter “Friends Like That (feat. Jason Aldean).” Featured on his debut album, Carolina Blue, dropping this Friday, April 25, pre-order/pre-save/pre-add the highly anticipated project HERE that has already achieved critical acclaim.

Lauded as an “in-demand songcrafter” (Billboard), an “accomplished songwriter” (People) and a “Music City Songwriting Star” (Tennessean), the boldly gritty North Carolinian will deliver a tantalizingly robust 12-track debut, proving his preeminence as an dynamically versatile artist ready to takeover the country music scene. A brilliantly curated collection of songs, the authentically humble and tenaciously driven powerhouse artist not only co-wrote every track and played every guitar, but he also co-produced it alongside Brent Anderson. 

With “stadium-ready written all over him” (All Country News), the compelling entertainer who exudes “undeniable star power” (Country Swag) will make his Stagecoach Festival debut this Friday (4/25), before hitting the road to open for Kane Brown, Old Dominion and Riley Green on select dates this summer.

About John Morgan:
With a style that’s defined by melodic grit and a craftsman’s approach to songwriting, John Morgan brings a blue-collar toughness to country that’s pulled straight from the only life he knows. Hailing from a tiny town called Sylva, deep in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, John grew up immersed in bluegrass tradition and even toured the festival circuit each summer in a family band, before diving into songwriting, inspired by six-string legends from Tony Rice to John Mayer. Now, “a Music City songwriting star” (Tennessean) and “in-demand songcrafter” (Billboard), he has earned cuts with Jon Pardi, Dustin Lynch, Thomas Rhett and an outstanding 16 for Jason Aldean, including two of the superstar’s #1 songs - “Trouble With A Heartbreak” and the GRAMMY® nominated, ACM Single of the Year “If I Didn’t Love You” with Carrie Underwood, along with Aldean’s latest single at country radio “Whiskey Drink” currently climbing the charts. Signed to Aldean’s Night Train Records, his imprint with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, the sought-after, powerhouse artist has made his Grand Ole Opry debut and logged hours on the road opening for Aldean, ERNEST, Riley Green, Nate Smith, Jameson Rodgers and more. Now, his party starter smash “Friends Like That” - featuring Jason Aldean - is his first #1 at country radio as an artist (third as a songwriter), with the Tennessean praising the “live concert favorite whose banjo and steel underpinnings still allow room for a hard-rocking core.” Giving fans a taste of new music with the striking “Kid Myself,” jaunty “Crickets,” confident “I Know Better” and heartrendingly smooth “Long Ride Home,” John Morgan’s highly anticipated debut album, Carolina Blue, drops this Friday, April 25 and features his career-first #1 single.

Swiss Goth / Horror / Shock Metal Band DARKFLOW Release New Single "Press The Button" ​

Swiss Goth / Horror / Shock Metal band DARKFLOW have released their latest single “Press The Button”, a harrowing and theatrical descent into apocalyptic madness. The track marks the second release from the band’s highly anticipated new album Imminent End, out May 2025.

Produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Andy LaRocque (legendary guitarist of King Diamond) at Sonic Train Studio in Sweden, Imminent End is a concept album that takes listeners through a dark and chaotic vision of the world’s collapse. LaRocque not only helmed the production but also contributes a blistering guest solo on the epic track “The Last Symphony.” Brian Bendahan did the orchestration of all the songs.
 

The new single “Press The Button” features guest Ed Nicod on rhythm guitars and bass(Algebra, Impure Wilhelmina). The band explains:

“This is a brutal and apocalyptic track where General Sean Horror, the General from hell, manipulates a global leader into launching all nuclear bombs. Instead of pressing the button himself, he revels in psychological torment, forcing his victim to do it. As God descends to destroy Earth, Sean Horror races to bring the end first—proving that hell always wins. Dark, theatrical, and relentless, this song is pure devastation set to music.”

The forthcoming album Imminent End explores themes of divine judgment, human depravity, and cosmic destruction. DARKFLOW crafts a world where each track reveals a different path to ruin—tsunamis, wars, existential despair—culminating in a battle between heaven’s wrath and hell’s vengeance.

“This album is about the world’s end, each track a vision of how everything falls apart. I embody Sean Horror, returning from hell to destroy the Earth before God can. It’s a race for apocalypse. ‘Press The Button’ finds Sean forcing a powerful man to unleash nuclear chaos. And the final song, ‘Whistles From The Sky,’ is my laughter as I’ve outdone God—winning the destruction of mankind and ushering in the end of all civilization.”

With Imminent End, DARKFLOW cement their place as masters of sonic horror, blending goth, shock metal, and theatrical narrative into a terrifying and unforgettable experience.

Jersey Shore Rockers TRIGGER Share Classic Track "One In A Million"

In early 1979, TRIGGER walked out of Electric Lady Studios with a completed second album. Mere months had passed since their self-titled debut came out on Casablanca Records, home to KISS and Parliament. The band had toured with Cheap Trick and The Godz, met Bruce Springsteen and Joni Mitchell, and things were looking bright.

But, Casablanca unexpectedly went bankrupt, and the label’s artists went into freefall. TRIGGER unsuccessfully sought interested parties, shelved the recordings and disbanded; a disappointing end for a band who dominated the Jersey Shore club scene on their way up with fiery, kick ass live shows.

RIP TRIGGER: 1973-1979.

Jump to 2024. Guitarist Richie House is living in Northern New Jersey with his wife, enjoying a relaxing afternoon at the community pool with neighbors. One of them, Andrew Wexler, is shocked to discover his friend had a band in the ‘70s. He listens to their recordings, and as an avid record collector, assumes the mission of getting that unheard second album released. He writes to Ba Da Bing, a label with Jersey roots. Much excitement ensues.

The long-awaited release, 'Second Round,' will now be available on May 30th. All original members — Derek Remington (vocals/drums), Jimmy Duggan (guitar/vocals), Tom Nigra(bass guitar/backing vocals), and Richie House (lead guitar/vocals) — are present on the recordings. Sadly, Duggan and Nigra have passed away, but Remington and House have overseen this reissue, with songs sourced directly from the analog masters.. The TRIGGER of today maintains a high level of quality, albeit with a bit less flair, and even less hair.

And there’s more going on here than at first listen. While the band carries the earmarks of their era - melodic hard-rock fashioned for Saturday night parties - they override the cliché with incredibly catchy songs. How would a ripping song like “Back Talk” have been received in 1979? It’s a question we’ll never be able to answer, but the raw energy of the track spans generations. “One In A Million,” however, with its full harmonies and forceful chorus, could have easily made the soundtrack for Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Celebrate the discovery of this lost gem by giving it a listen. You’ll be TRIGGER happy…

Listen to "One In A Million"

In the mid ’70s, TRIGGER earned a reputation along the Jersey Shore for their electrifying live shows, airtight harmonies, and arena-ready riffs, earning them a deal with Casablanca Records thanks to support from labelmates KISS. They are the reason Foreigner didn’t name themselves TRIGGER, as first planned. Upon finishing their second album, Casablancaabruptly shuttered, their album shelved. Now, decades later, 'Second Round' will finally be heard, offering a time capsule to a band at peak creativity—undeniably powerful, unapologetically melodic, and long overdue for recognition.

'Second Round' finally brings to life the lost chapter of TRIGGER’s story. Their 1978 self-titled debut showcased dynamic songwriting and relentless energy, leading them to tour with Cheap Trick and The Godz. They quickly begin work on a second album. Recorded at the legendary Record Plant and Electric Lady Studios, 'Second Round' would be the next step, but it was never released. Thanks to a record-collecting friend of guitarist Richie House, Ba Da Bing was made aware of this offense and devised plans to right things.

“One In A Million” is probably their most radio-ready song for 1979. It starts with a blaring synth running on the beat before breaking into a killer guitar riff. All of it builds to the chorus, with all band members singing backup. This is the second single Ba Da Bing has shared off 'Second Round' and a fine taster of what’s to come.

Famed Canadian Rockers HONEYMOON SUITE Share Brand New Single "Stay This Time" + Visualizer

Today, the Canadian melodic rock band HONEYMOON SUITE shares a new single called "Stay This Time." A visualizer accompanies this fresh track.

About the track, Derry Grehan comments:

"We had come to the end of the sessions for the new album and realized we still needed one more song. We found a rough demo of a track simply titled 'HMS 5'

that we had forgotten about, and discovered it really had some potential. We all got excited about it.

"Johnnie and I were on a cruise ship at the time and, in my cabin, we finished writing the lyrics to the song which became 'Stay This Time.' When we got home, Johnnie went straight into the studio and cut the vocal."

Featuring core band members Johnnie Dee (Lead Vocals), Derry Grehan(Guitars/Keyboards/Background Vocals), Dave Betts (Drums), Gary Lalonde (Bass), and Peter Nunn (Keyboards), HONEYMOON SUITE plans to continue to create new music and tour year round thanks to a legion of loyal fans.

Watch the Visualizer for "Stay This Time" Below:

HONEYMOON SUITE was originally formed in 1981 by lead vocalist and guitarist 

Johnnie Dee from Niagara Falls, Ontario. After the departure of the original lead guitarist, fellow Niagara Falls native Derry Grehan joined the band. Together, Johnnie and Derry rebuilt the lineup, adding Dave Betts on drums, Ray Coburn on keyboards, and Gary Lalonde on bass. The band quickly hit the road, performing six nights a week and writing relentlessly with hopes of securing a record deal.

In 1983, they entered a demo of “New Girl Now” into a homegrown contest hosted by Toronto rock station Q107. Winning the contest led to a multi-album deal with WEA Canada, signed by industry legend Bob Roper.

Their debut self-titled album, released in July 1984, was an immediate success. With massive airplay, videos in heavy rotation on MTV and MuchMusic, and national touring, the album went on to sell over 300,000 units in Canada alone.

Since then, HONEYMOON SUITE has released seven studio albums, with over 1 million units sold worldwide. They’ve produced a string of classic rock hits, including:

“New Girl Now,” “Burning In Love,” “Wave Babies,” “Stay in the Light,” “Feel It Again,” and “What Does It Take.”

The band has earned numerous accolades, including:

·      A Juno Award for Group of the Year (1986)

·      Triple platinum sales in Canada for their first three albums

·      Platinum sales for their 1989 greatest hits release, 'The Singles'

·      A 2015 SOCAN award recognizing 100,000+ radio performances in Canada for multiple tracks

They’ve toured extensively across Canada, the U.S., and Europe, sharing the stage with artists such as ZZ Top, Heart, Billy Idol, Journey, Bryan Adams, Saga, Loverboy, Jethro Tull, and .38 Special.

Their songs have also appeared in major TV shows like Miami Vice and Bones, and films including Lethal Weapon and One Crazy Summer.

While the 1990s brought lineup changes, the early 2000s saw the reunion of the original members — Johnnie, Derry, Gary, and Dave — along with the addition of keyboardist Peter Nunn, a lineup that remains strong to this day.

In 2020, with a renewed creative spark and a catalog of new songs, Johnnie and Derryconnected with acclaimed Canadian producer and songwriter Mike Krompass (credits include Everybody Loves An Outlaw, Steven Tyler, Theory of a Deadman, and Smash Mouth). Mike brought a fresh, modern edge to the band's signature melodic rock style. His role as co-writer and producer was key in shaping the sound of their highly anticipated eighth studio album.

The first single, “Tell Me What You Want,” dropped in October 2019 and was met with strong support from fans and radio. The follow-up single, “Find What You’re Looking For,” released in June 2020, became a Top 30 hit on Canadian Billboard AOR radio, marking HONEYMOON SUITE’s first chart appearance in 19 years.

Their 2023 release, 'Alive,' confirmed that the band is still at the top of their game. Produced by Mike Krompass, the album blends soaring vocals, unforgettable guitar riffs, and tight production into a timeless collection of arena-worthy rock anthems.

Danish Musical Virtuoso NICKLAS SONNE Announces New Album ‘Electric Dream’ Set For Release On June 27th, 2025 via Frontiers Music Srl

Today, Danish musical virtuoso NICKLAS SONNE is excited to announce the release of his new studio album, 'Electric Dreams,' due out on June 27, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl. In addition, following his latest singles “Route 65” and “Limitless,” SONNE has unveiled the album’s title track along with an accompanying lyric video, which you can view below.

Talking about the title track, NICKLAS SONNE commented:

“'Electric Dreams' tells the story of that fleeting, electric connection - the kind that leaves your mind spinning long after the moment has passed. It’s about being completely drawn to someone you barely know, and the haunting question that lingers: did she feel it too, or was I just another guy in a bar?”

Describing the album, he added:

“This record is a deeply personal journey back to where it all began for me - to the raw energy and spirit of my earliest musical inspirations. It blends the soul of old school hard rock with the punch and clarity of a modern production, creating a soundscape that feels both nostalgic and new."

Watch the Lyric Video for “Electric Dreams"

NICKLAS SONNE is a Danish musician, vocalist, guitarist, and producer known for his powerful presence in progressive and heavy metal. He began his musical journey as a drummer before moving on to guitar and ultimately becoming a singer-songwriter in a variety of metal and hard rock projects—starting with Defecto, one of Denmark’s leading metal bands, formed in 2010.

In addition to Defecto, NICKLAS is part of Aries Descendant alongside Jonah Weingarten(Pyramaze, Catalyst Crime). The dynamic duo released their debut album via Frontiers Music Srl on October 18th, 2024. It’s a groundbreaking project that seamlessly fuses the evocative allure of film music with the raw power of heavy metal, creating an auditory experience that is nothing short of extraordinary.

A multi-instrumentalist from an early age, NICKLAS honed his skills by playing along to Metallica and Dream Theater, later diving into songwriting and production. His talent quickly gained industry attention, leading to collaborations with renowned producers Jan Langhoff(Aqua) and Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica). This pivotal period helped shape his signature sound—progressive metal infused with orchestral and choral elements.

Other bands SONNE has been involved with include Evil Masquerade, Theory, Hank Shermann, One Machine, Waving Memories, Section A, Metallica Jam, Wasted, and Omvendt Korstog. His long career has included international tours in countries such as Japan and support slots for metal heavyweights like Metallica and Rammstein.

With a relentless work ethic and a passion for musical innovation, NICKLAS SONNE continues to push the boundaries of modern metal, cementing his reputation as one of the most dynamic artists in the genre today. His solo album is a collection of songs that showcases the immense talent of this artist—who also handled production duties himself.

Ian Munsick Releases 3rd Studio Album, ‘Eagle Feather’

When Wyoming native Ian Munsick performed his sold-out Red Rocks Amphitheatre debut last year, a surprise on-stage adoption by the Crow Tribe moved him to his core, setting him on a creative trajectory toward his third album. Inspired by the gifts his Native friends presented him that night, including an eagle feather he proudly wears in his hat, the concept and title of Eagle Feather was born.
 
Listen to Eagle Feather, available everywhere now, HERE.
 
Eagle Feather is the culmination of a three-part thematic trilogy where Munsick used animals as inspirational spirits, which started with Coyote Cry, his debut album. With the eagle feather representing honor, strength and wisdom, it highlights Munsick’s personal growth through life experiences and lessons learned that have shaped him into who he is. 
 
“If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve been listening to my music for at least a couple years. Some of you have probably even been spreading the word of the west for a decade. No matter what side of the coin you’re on, Eagle Featheris for YOU,” Munsick proclaims. “I can confidently say that this is the best album I’ve made. But it’s not mine anymore… it’s yours. 
 
“All the countless hours we spent pondering lyrics, crafting melodies and tweaking tones were all because we want you to love every second of this project,” he adds. “You have blessed my career beyond belief. Thank you will never be enough, but hopefully this album will. Your next favorite song of mine awaits.”
 
Eagle Feather opens with the first of three Prairie Laments that bookend the project, appearing at the beginning, middle and end. Setting the tone for the album, Munsick longingly declares his love for Wyoming, and his desire to set his legacy there.
 
In between, Munsick sets forward the pillars upon which the album’s meaning and message are based: honor, love and authenticity, which in turn, is a code of how to live. 
 
Tapping into his friends was pivotal for this album, as evident in the title track, co-written with singer-songwriter Stephen Wilson Jr. Getting together to write on a late afternoon in Nashville, Munsick shared with him the honor of being adopted into the Crow Tribe. As he listened, Wilson started to play his gut string in his unique tuning. From that, Wilson said, “Gave you my heart like eagle feather,” and just like that, a song was formed. 
 
For a good portion of 2024, Munsick was on the road with another rising Wilson: Lainey. While on the road, he cooked up the deeply personal and delicately poignant “Feather In My Hat.” Munsick knew that if Wilson lent her vocals, it would give it another layer of emotional depth. After a show at New York City’s legendary Radio City Music Hall, Munsick asked Wilson if she’d contribute her vocals. The answer was a resounding yes. 
 
Watch the “Feather In My Hat” official music video, out now, below.

Munsick was also able to draw from personal experiences and stories to show how life’s little moments can be its most impactful. One example of this can be found on “Wolf Creek Road,” a powerful moment where Munsick reflects on a true story after a night out at the rodeo when he was a teenager, when he had a close call and rolled his car. His father, none too pleased, drove him back to that area to show him a wooden cross on the side of the road and didn’t say a word. For Munsick, the silence was deafening and said everything. That “what might have been if you weren’t careful” moment is somberly reflected throughout the song’s gut-wrenching four minutes. 
 
The heaviness of the album culminates in its last track, “The Gate.” The track features three generations of Munsicks, with his father and young son participating in the intro and outro, symbolizing leaving the world, or in this case, the gate, just as good as you found it.
 
To commemorate the album’s release, Munsick partnered with Montana Silversmiths to launch an exclusive jewelry collection featuring unique pieces that blend traditional Western style with contemporary flair, available now exclusively at Boot Barn Nashville stores and BootBarn.com.

About Ian Munsick
A native son of Wyoming, Ian Munsick has accumulated over 900 million global streams across two albums – Coyote Cry and White Buffalo – and a host of accolades, including 19 awards and 14 festival selections for his documentary, White Buffalo: Voices of the West. Having painted a stampeding, spirited portrait of the American West with his sophomore album White Buffalo in 2023, Munsick is expanding on the concepts of the land, people, culture and stories that inspire him, readying the project’s follow-up 20-track album, Eagle Feather, due on April 18, 2025 via Warner Music Nashville. In addition to selling over 100,000 headlining tickets in 2024, Munsick also opened on select dates of Lainey Wilson’s Country’s Cool Again Tour and supported Morgan Wallen on select dates of his record-setting One Night At A Time Tour. Munsick is currently headlining his spring Horses Are Faster Tour. He has been named an “Artist to Watch” by Spotify, CMT, Fender, MusicRow and most recently was named a Martin Showcase Artist. Standout duet “Long Live Cowgirls” (with Cody Johnson) off of White Buffalo hit No. 1 on SiriusXM’s The Highway Hot 30 Countdown, was named one of Amazon Music’s Best Country Songs of 2022 and recently received RIAA Gold-certification alongside “Long Haul” and “Horses Are Faster.” Fans of Ian Munsick will always find an open heart, natural awe and plainspoken honesty as he rides on… bringing the West to the rest.

FRANK RAY TAKES COUNTRY MUSIC ON A SUN-SOAKED DETOUR WITH “MIAMI IN TENNESSEE”

“Looking brighter than ever” (CMT), Frank Ray’s “Miami In Tennessee” transports listeners to a sun-soaked paradise, blending the energy of South Beach with the heart of country music. With smooth vocals and an infectious rhythm, the track delivers a breezy, feel-good escape. Ray’s heritage shines through on this release; consequently, it’s easy to see why he’s impacting fans and earning critical praise and industry accolades like this spotlight from Good Morning America as a “Latino country artist expanding the genre while honoring his roots.” Written by Chase McGill, Lindsay Rimes and Joybeth Taylor, “Miami In Tennessee” is now available, HERE—turn it up and take a trip with this new single produced by Grammy-nominated Dave Pittenger.

“‘Miami In Tennessee’ is a straight-up party—it’s everything I bring to the stage wrapped into one song,” Ray shares in anticipation. “It’s country with a splash of my Latin roots, high energy, and just the right amount of heat. Turn it up, feel the rhythm, and get ready—because Miami just rolled into Tennessee!”

Frank Ray brings a fresh perspective to country music—an artist rooted in authenticity, culture, and connection. Known for his magnetic stage presence, Ray infuses his Mexican-American heritage into the country genre, creating a sound that’s uniquely his own. Whether he’s dancing between English and Spanish lyrics or energizing crowds with his dynamic performances, Ray consistently pushes boundaries with heart and charisma. As a proud girl-dad, mental health advocate, and former first responder, his storytelling goes beyond music—it’s about resilience, identity, and joy. Frank Ray isn’t just making music—he’s making space for an inviting new sound in the ever growing Country format.

About Frank Ray:

Frank Ray is a country music rulebreaker fusing Latin flair with his soulful, smooth vocals and amplified, party-starting energy. A former police officer from New Mexico, Ray left law enforcement to chase his passion for music, quickly making waves in the genre with his bilingual style and infectious connection with his fans via live performances and online. Signing with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, Ray’s impact and sound caught the industry’s attention leading to his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2022. Since then, he’s been named an “Artist to Watch” by Rolling Stone and a “Listen Up Artist” by CMT. Additionally spotlighted among the Country Radio Seminar’s New Faces Class of 2023, Ray dropped his debut self-titled album that year and has subsequently shared stages with Luke Combs, Kane Brown, Old Dominion, Luke Bryan, Kip Moore and more.

Praised by Good Morning America as one of the “Latino country artists expanding the genre while honoring their roots,” Ray's music delivers sun-soaked vibes, catchy hooks and a south-of-the-border steamy nightlife kick. His latest single, “Miami In Tennessee,” is another testament to his ability to transport listeners with feel-good storytelling and undeniable charm. Beyond music, this girl-dad is a passionate advocate for first responders’ mental health through his FRAY initiative, offering support and training to those who serve. With a magnetic presence and a sound that blurs boundaries, Frank Ray is proving that country music has room for every story.

Wolves at the Gate Drop "LAW OF THE [Waste]LAND" Visualizer

Wolves at the Gate will release new album Wasteland on May 30 via Solid State Records. Pre-order it here. 

Today, the band has shared the "LAW OF THE [Waste]LAND"  visualizer. 

Watch it below. 

"The song is a reflection on a world and humanity that has lost its grip on true justice," says singer/guitarist Stephen Cobucci. "But this isn't anything new. History tells endless stories of war, genocide, and injustice and a seemingly endless list of atrocities. There is something terribly broken in us by nature that exalts self-preservation. I've seen it firsthand in my own heart. I saw this confirmed to me by the words of an old Psalmist when he said, 'None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God.' As much as I tried to fight the reality of that truth, an honest look at myself told the same story."

He continues, "The song explores how we become both victims and enforcers of a merciless code. We cry out for justice but live by vengeance, doing what seems right in our own eyes while blaming the fallout on anything but ourselves. In the Wasteland, we crown ourselves as judge, jury, and executioner, all while crying out for peace we can't create. While confronting the chaos, we've normalized. We were hoping to ask a deeper question: What is left for the soul, when we abandon mercy and truth in pursuit of self-rule and self-preservation? Can mercy still come to the merciless?"

The song starts out ominously and quickly escalates to all fists and fury, alongside a groove that just won't quit. It's got ALL of the bounce.

Wolves At The Gate have quietly and naturally evolved since their emergence out of the Midwest in 2008. Their vision unfolded across albums such as Captors [2012], VxV [2014], Types & Shadows [2016], Eclipse [2019], and Eulogies [2022]. Blabbermouth rated the latter "9.0-out-of-10.0," while mxdwn summed it up as "powerfully moving." Along the way, the group tallied tens of millions of streams fueled by the likes of "Counterfeit," "Deadman," "Lowborn," "Peace That Starts The War," and more. Not to mention, they've performed alongside everyone from The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and Red to Fit For A King, August Burns Red, and Born Of Osiris. In 2024, a core idea screamed out to guitarist Steve Cobucci, shaping the creative direction of the band's next evolution. It slowly, but surely seeped into the DNA of the music and his words.
 
"As I was working on the album and especially the lyrics, I began to realize that the Wasteland was a metaphor for a frame of mind that I don't want to live in, but a world I feel myself drawn back into over and over again," Cobucci reveals. "I hate it. It's a world of empty promises. It's a mirage. A counterfeit."

The musicians carefully pieced together what would become Wasteland. Cobucci co-produced the 13-track body of work with Josh Gilbert of Spiritbox, while the band recorded in New Jersey, San Diego, and Los Angeles. This time around, they added multiple dimensions to their signature sound, layering intriguing interludes and electronic overtures into the framework.

WOLVES AT THE GATE ARE:
Steve Cobucci — Vocals/Guitar
Nick Detty — Vocals
Joey Alarcon — Guitar
Abishai Collingsworth — Drums
Ben Summers — Bass

Out Today! - Exterminatus - Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1

Formed in the depths of Vancouver, Canada, in 2013, the death metal colossus EXTERMINATUS is poised to unleash their third studio assault, Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1, on April 18, 2025. The album is a culmination of over a decade of relentless crafting and intense recording sessions, symbolizing the band's evolution into a formidable force within the metal scene.

The narrative of Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1 unfolds across its tracks, each serving as a chapter in a grand cosmic saga that explores the origins of the universe and the haunting truths hidden within its expansive reach. The journey begins with the turbulent force of "Cosmic Disturbance" and traverses through a series of dark revelations, culminating in an unexpected twist with a metal rendition of "Rock Me Amadeus."

Drawing inspiration from the cosmic and dystopian visions found in the works of Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke, as well as the expansive narratives of "Stargate SG:1" and the "Mass Effect" series, the album offers a profound exploration of existence through its lyrical and musical depth. Songs like "Primordial Sea" and "Starbound" feature brutal drum patterns and shredding riffs, echoing the thematic and sonic complexity that EXTERMINATUS is known for.

The formidable lineup delivering this sonic onslaught includes Max Sepulveda on drums, Tabreez Azad wielding guitar and vocals, Elia Baghdaniyan on guitar, Luka Bresan as the lead vocal force, and Lucas Abreu anchoring the low end on bass. The band themselves drove the production, with recording, mixing, and mastering helmed by Max Sepulveda and Zack Ohren at The Beat Lab, ensuring every note conveys the intended ferocity. The album's striking visuals were crafted by Mark Cooper, encapsulating the album's thematic essence.

Key tracks like "Cosmic Disturbance" come alive with an accompanying music video, while "The Signal" and "Primordial Sea" are depicted through haunting lyric videos, offering a window into the album’s dark narrative.

Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1 marks a pivotal chapter for EXTERMINATUS, as they delve into the abyssal depths of death metal, challenging the boundaries of the genre with philosophical narratives and thunderous compositions. 

About EXTERMINATUS:

Since their formation in 2013, EXTERMINATUS has evolved into a dominant force within the technical death metal scene. Their journey began with the debut album Veni Vidi Vici, which immediately set the tone for their aggressive style characterized by rapid-fire riffs, relentless drumming, and devastating vocals. By the time their second album Laniakea was released in 2018, EXTERMINATUS had firmly established themselves not just as a project but as a mainstay, pushing the boundaries of technical death metal.

The current lineup features the dual-guitar attack of Tabreez Azad and Elia Baghbaniyan, combined with the unstoppable rhythm section of Max Sepulveda and Lucas Abreu, and the ferocious lead vocals of Luka Bresan. This potent combination creates a sound that is both brutally precise and expansively atmospheric, drawing comparisons to luminaries like Aeon, Decapitated, and The Faceless, yet with a distinct identity that is entirely their own.

Thematically, EXTERMINATUS ventures into the cosmic unknown, exploring vast astronomical themes and the fundamental forces of the universe. Their narratives delve into complex physical phenomena and the chilling mysteries of space, a theme that resonates deeply in their upcoming release, Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1, scheduled for release on April 18, 2025. This album promises to fuse their signature technical complexity with a hauntingly eerie cosmic atmosphere.

EXTERMINATUS's impact on the scene is underscored by their dynamic live performances, highlighted by appearances at festivals such as Armstrong Metalfest and Loud As Hell Festival. Collaborations with notable figures like Andrew Baena, Dean Lamb, and Mike Greenwood have further solidified their reputation, expanding their influence and showcasing their ability to innovate within the genre.

With their intricate compositions, powerful performances, and forward-thinking approach, EXTERMINATUS not only captivates their audience but also promises a continual evolution. As they prepare to release Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1, they stand at the forefront of technical death metal, ready to explore new sonic territories and deepen their exploration of the cosmos.

Pageant Unleashes New Single "Show Me How To Love You" ​

Rock band Pageant is excited to announce the release of their new single, “Show Me How To Love You”. Pageant is a hard-hitting 4-piece rock band based in High Point, NC, built to revive and redefine rock ‘n’ roll for a new generation. With Roxxi Dirt on bass and vocals, Dylan Dynasty on drums, Dezzy Foxx shredding lead guitar, and Cam Duke on rhythm, Pageant fuses the raw power of rock’s golden era with a modern edge that refuses to be boxed in. Inspired by icons like Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses, Aerosmith, and Cinderella, their sound delivers the high-energy guitar-driven sounds of the past while unapologetically adding new, modern elements.  

The band comments on the single, "Have you ever met someone that makes you feel like a teenager again, unsure of how to express your feelings? This song is a high-energy anthem about the inability to navigate strong feelings in a new relationship. Produced by Brian Craddock (Daughtry) and mastered by Grammy-winning Brad Blackwood (Mammoth, Korn, Maroon 5, Sevendust), this song is a powerhouse that takes you on a high-speed ride the second it starts and doesn't slow down."

While honoring the giants of classic rock, Pageant also embraces a wide array of musical influences. Their distinct sound seeks to bridge the gap between the past and future of rock, providing listeners with a unique experience that feels both raw and refined. With a passion for every genre, their music offers a fusion of styles that feels new yet nostalgic, a perfect balance between the familiar and the unexpected.

Pageant is actively pushing boundaries through relentless live shows, a highly-driven DIY work ethic, and a strong media outreach to put their name in every rock fan’s mouth. Whether it’s blowing the roof off college frat houses, self-funding tours across the country, or working with major producers and Grammy winners, Pageant is doing the work and making noise. They’re not just playing music. They’re building a movement.

“Show Me How To Love You” is now available on all major streaming platforms.

HEAVEN'S GATE (ft. Members of MUNICIPAL WASTE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, etc.) Releases New Album, 'Tales From a Blistering Paradise'

Hardcore punk outfit HEAVEN'S GATE is now releasing its brand new full-length, 'Tales From a Blistering Paradise,' today, April 18! The album is now available worldwide digitally as well as vinyl via Beach Impediment and CD and cassette via To Live A Lie. Listen and order HERE.

The cover artwork was created by Steak Mountain aka/Christopher Norris and can be found below along with the tracklisting.

When most people think of Florida, they might picture retirement villages with seniors playing pickleball, luxurious Lamborghinis cruising to the beach, or leather-skinned swamp folks with a passion for NASCAR. However, Florida is also home to some of the fiercest punk bands imaginable. HEAVEN'S GATE is one such band. Instead of exuding the raw grime of ASSÜCK, HEAVEN'S GATE channels their rage into a powerful, concise, blast-beating behemoth. With members of bands that will wow you, the band really wants their music to speak for itself, so we won’t mention that they have the ranks of CANNIBAL CORPSE, MUNICIPAL WASTE, REVERSAL OF MAN, or WARTHOG members aboard. Their riffs are infectious in the way that bands like BIB and BLOODKROW BUTCHER haunt you but more in a way if you spit-shined the sound and added a good measure of blast beats to put a smile on the face of those who worship at the altar of SPAZZ, INFEST, Dystopia or DRI. This album fills so many wants in an album while not being derivative or really being a copy of any related bands. Without boring you more with a description, do yourself a favor and check out HEAVEN’S GATE and you won’t be disappointed.

Lineup: Vocals: Tony Foresta

Guitar: Mike Goo

Bass: Jeff Howe

Drums: Paul Mazurkiewicz

Finnish Powerhouse Vocalists LAURENNE/LOUHIMO Release New Album 'Falling Through Stars' via Frontiers Music Srl

Today, LAURENNE/LOUHIMO - the collaboration between powerhouse Finnish vocalists Noora Louhimo (Battle Beast) and Netta Laurenne (Smackbound) – are proud to release their sophomore album 'Falling Through Stars,' out now via Frontiers Music Srl. To celebrate, the band has released a new single titled "All For Sale" which is accompanied by a visualizer, available to view below.

LAURENNE/LOUHIMO is one of the most exciting projects on Frontiers Music Srl and, in this second chapter, deliver a full force metal assaults with the power to blow you away. 

Talking about the new single, Netta Laurenne commented:

“'All For Sale' is one of the metal ballads on the new album. It is a story of lost love that evolves into the realization that love is never truly lost but instead serves as a teacher. That heartache has a deeper purpose in our lives as a catalyst and healer.”

This new album from LAURENNE/LOUHIMO offers listeners a mix of heavy metal and hard rock tracks that explore the variety of the genre while maintaining a straightforward, easy-to-enjoy appeal.

'Falling Through Stars' has shades of all eras of Rainbow here and there, as well as Judas Priest and many other 80s icons of the style. All of these influences are expertly filtered into Netta and Noora's way of composing music. 

Watch the Visualizer for “All For Sale” Below:

The idea of a possible collaboration between Netta and Noora became a reality once the pandemic started and cleared out calendars for both artists. It felt like a perfect time to start the project and share all the things they have in common, from the same original town to similar idols and influences.

The main highlights of the album are, naturally, the vocal melodies created and shared by Netta Laurenne and Noora Louhimo.

'Falling Through Stars' has been once again produced at the Sonic Pump studio under the guidance of Nino Laurenne (who also played the guitars and contributed to the songwriting). The production is clear and powerful and gives the deserved value to the two stars here.

Songs like “Falling Through Stars,” “Damned,” “Loud And Clear,” or “Wait” are just a few of the highlights of a great album that will please all melodic metal fans!

Commenting on the album, Netta states:

“'Falling Through Stars' is the second collaborative album with Noora, and it gave us the opportunity to step in and out of our comfort zones to meet halfway. We had a great time writing and recording the album, which I co-produced with my husband, Nino Laurenne. This album takes us on a journey through both the past and future of metal. We’ve aimed to incorporate styles, instruments, and emotions spanning from the ’70s to the present day. It’s a dynamic album that showcases both raw power and delicate moments, and we’re excited to share it with everyone.”

Wind Walkers Drop New Track "The End Aesthetic" + Official Music Video With New Record Label Home Fearless Records

It's a great day to be a Wind Walkers fan! Today, the genre-blending metalcore powerhouse made their triumphant return with their new single "The End Aesthetic" (produced by Nick Matzkows and Jon Eberhard) and the official music video. Furthermore, Wind Walkers announced signing with their new label home, Fearless Records. When asked about the inspiration behind today's track, the band shared:

“I think that lyrically this song ended up being a lot more self-observant than I had intended it to be. I started with the chorus which is more of an outward projection, expressing the feeling that everyone is hiding something about themselves. Whether that be hidden anxieties, fears, or vices. As I wrote more, this song kind evolved into something that looked more inward. It talks about my own issues with numbing to distract myself from how sick the world is and asks the question, “Was our environment designed to make us feel this way?”

Stream "The End Aesthetic" at the link here, and watch the music video  below.

Coinciding with today's release is the band kicking off their tour alongside Memphis May Fire, Caskets, and Elijah on The Shapeshifter Tour beginning tonight in Little Rock, Arkansas, and performing at fan-favorite festivals Sonic Temple and Welcome To Rockville.

Savage Hands Drop Double Single "Reload, Repeat" + "Trace Erase"

Hailing from the DMV area, SAVAGE HANDS have positioned themselves at the forefront of the new wave rock scene. 

Driven by powerful instrumentals paired with belting vocal hooks, the band has cut its teeth working with writer/producer Andrew Baylis (Jellyroll, Yung Gravy, Brantley Gilbert) to develop a truly fresh sound. Backed by an absolutely electric live show, Savage Hands bring it all to the stage — and leave it there — at every show. 

Today, the quintet has dropped a double single, featuring "Reload, Repeat" and "Trace Erase." Listen below.

"'Reload, Repeat' and 'Trace Erase' are as raw as it comes from Savage Hands," says singer Mikey Garrow. "The cynical lyricism stems from situations that seem to present themselves in our every day lives so we chose to talk about it in a sense of 'rolling with the punches.' We wanted to shed light on some more personal issues and that's where these songs come from — deep personal issues that involve family and livelihood. We've held onto these songs for over a year and felt that this was the exact moment they needed to be released." 

There's something about just knowing when it's right...
