Candlemass mastermind Leif Edling comments, "'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' needs no introduction, one of the best songs ever recorded if you ask me. Maybe not the obvious choice, but it's been a dream for me to do it one day and here it is! Our rendition of 'S.B.S.' (Mass Bloody Mass?)"

Watch the official music video for "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" below:

Swedish godfathers of epic doom Candlemass present their four-track EP, Black Star. Packed with cavernous riffs, the genre-defying band unveils two brand-new songs alongside two cover versions of timeless classics.

Following the title track, the second original song, "Corridors Of Chaos," marks a true old school instrumental containing both classic metal riffing and stunning guitar playing by Lars Johansson, showcasing the band’s mastery of dynamics. Adding to this tribute, Candlemass deliver their rendition of Pentagram's classic "Forever My Queen," further cementing the bands remarkable contribution to shaping the genre into what it is today.

• "Love Don’t Live Here Anymore" – Top 10 Canadian single and #6 CanCon song of 1993

• "Tie Dyed Skies" and "In My Garden" – fan favorites with iconic video rotation

• Plus a searing live cover of Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades”.

Recorded live withDave Wanless (vocals), Andy Frank (guitar), Shawn Minden (bass), Sean Williamson (guitar),andDan Fila (drums), the album captures Sven Gali doing what they do best:delivering heavy music with zero compromise and total conviction.

GILLSAW Unleashes Epic Cover of Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People"

The vision behind our 'The Beautiful People' cover stems from a unique personal connection. Marilyn Manson's groundbreaking original, released almost three decades ago, immediately struck me. Simultaneously, the imagery from the 1932 movie Freaks, especially its legendary dinner scene, left a lasting impression. For me, the song always evoked the film. Our cover project makes this fusion explicit: the visuals (video/artwork) directly blend these influences. Sonically, it's a tribute reimagined through the heavy GILLSAW lens – respecting the core while delivering our distinct, powerful sound.

FOG WATCH Narrative:

"Fog Watch" tells the tragic story of Ian, a man descending into madness. Through a series of increasingly distorted experiences, we witness his journey from isolated lighthouse keeper to drug-addicted nomad.

• Fog Watch: Ian battles loneliness and encroaching insanity, symbolized by the perpetual fog. The lyrics reflect his isolation and mental deterioration.

• Thankful: Ian's desire for validation turns to bitter rage as he resents the lack of gratitude from those he protects.

• Rizen: Ian falls under the influence of a false deity, surrendering reason for blind obedience.

• Siren Comes: Ian faces nightly temptations, battling internal fears and desires.

• Trenched In: Ian's final act of devotion leads to his self-burial, a symbolic death and rebirth.

• Bombay Way: The reality is revealed: Ian's experiences were drug-induced delusions, culminating in a fatal overdose in Bombay Beach.

"FOG WATCH" explores themes of isolation, the search for meaning, and the destructive power of delusion.

GILLSAW'S SOUND

Gillsaw's sound is a meticulously crafted fusion of heavy metal's muscularity and industrial music's stark, electronic edge. This powerful core is layered with intricate progressive structures and ethereal new age ambient textures, creating a dynamic and immersive atmosphere that defies genre boundaries.

About W.A.S.P.
Few Bands in the history of Rock N’ Roll have ever incited the love, the hate, the raw emotional effect this Band has had on the world. From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live, the Band’s unique style of Shock and Rock caused Religious organizations, Local City Councils, Parliaments, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played.

The band’s founding member, frontman Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for 4 decades.

RONNIE ROMERO Announces New Album ‘Live At Rock Imperium Festival’ Out On May 23rd, 2025 Via Frontiers Music Srl

Legendary singer RONNIE ROMERO is thrilled to announce the release of his new album, 'Live At Rock Imperium Festival', set for release on May 23, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl.

'Live At Rock Imperium Festival' sees ROMERO delivering an impressive musical performance in front of a huge passionate audience, in one of the biggest European festivals, the Spanish Rock Imperium Festival, including songs from his first solo album and some other highlights like today's single, the Dio cover “Rainbow In The Dark”, which is out now and accompanied by a live video available to view below.

RONNIE ROMERO commented on the new single by saying:

“'Rainbow In The Dark' is one of those songs we have on the setlist that we really enjoy playing and singing along with every audience! I also want to show appreciation to one of the most important rock singers in history, Ronnie James Dio. This is my humble and respectful tribute to the influence he has always had on my singing and the way to approach life as a musician and rock lover! Long Live Dio!!”



Watch the New Live Video for “Rainbow In The Dark” Below:

The tracklist is mostly based on RONNIE’s latest solo album 'Too Many Lies, Too Many Masters', which marks the first time that ROMERO has been involved with 100% of the songwriting on an album he sings on.

ROMERO also co-produced the album with Andy C., marking another first for ROMERO. While these 'firsts” certainly add to the excitement for the album, it is the songs that truly take center stage. ROMERO's voice is completely at home on this diverse, hard rockin' set which is certainly going to please any fan of his vocal style and his work with his other bands. 

Commenting on 'Live At Rock Imperium Festival', ROMERO states:

“I really wanted to have a live album out, to show everybody how much I enjoy playing music and the capabilities of the musicians I have by my side! It is also a step forward in my solo career. And no better place than my beloved Rock Imperium Festival in Spain! Thanks a lot to Frontiers Music, Manu Giménez, Andy C, and my band for making this possible! I hope that everyone will enjoy this performance!”

Pre-Order 'Live At Rock Imperium Festival' HERE

ROMERO's voice and prolific musical activity have brought him to the forefront of the hard rock/metal scene where he can be seen/heard with Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, The Michael Schenker Group, Lords of Black, The Ferrymen, Sunstorm, and the recently launched Elegant Weapons with Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner. With an impressive discography already under his belt, 'Too Many Lies, Too Many Masters' is arguably the crown jewel of ROMERO's recorded output thus far. 

'Too Many Lies, Too Many Masters' follows ROMERO's first two solo albums, both cover albums. 2023's 'Raised On Heavy Radio' saw ROMERO paying tribute to legendary artists from the metal world like Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Accept, Metallica, and more. It also featured special guests like Gus G. (Firewind, Ozzy Osbourne), Chris Caffery (Savatage, Spirits of Fire), Roland Grapow (Masterplan, Helloween), and more. 

ROMERO's first solo album, 'Raised On Radio', featured covers of classics that meant something special to ROMERO over the years and helped forge this talented singer's musical style. Songs by legendary acts like Survivor, Bad Company, Foreigner, Queen, Led Zeppelin, and more were given ROMERO's talented vocal treatment.

The Intemperate Sons Release Single "Dumb" (Live) via FRAME|WORK ​

The Intemperate Sons bring a raw, electrifying edge to Nirvana's "Dumb" with their latest live recording from the iconic Whisky A Go Go in November 2024. This is the second track off their Live EP scheduled for release in the spring of this year. This version transforms the original's contemplative mood into a powerful, heavy sound that resonates with the spirit of rock at its most unbridled. It’s a testament to the unquestioned influence of Nirvana through the lens of today's alternative rock sound

STREAM "Dumb":

https://onerpm.link/127172572341

The Intemperate Sons release all their music through the Frame|Work record label at the direction of Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck. All Intemperate Sons’ tracks are mixed by Amir Derakh at Synthicidein Long Beach, CA.  All mastering is done by Mike Marsh Mastering in the U.K.

WATCH "Dumb" (Live) - A Nirvana Cover by The Intemperate Sons:

The band's latest album Dark Day's Night is available HERE

The Intemperate Sons emerged onto the rock scene in the summer of 2019 in Dallas, TX, to bring their distinct sound to the genre. A deep love for music brought family members Keith Watson (drums), Jake Watson (guitars) and Max Watson (vocals, guitars, keys) together along with close friend Mark Marks, who provides the groove on bass to unite everything together. The band's sound has been described as a 90's alternative style that is obsessed with the 70's.

Keith is well acquainted with entertaining massive crowds of concert goers and has played with many successful bands in Dallas, such as Gun Hill, Natural Born Thrillers and Agents of Solace, on top of opening for Lynch Mob, Joe Lynn Turner and Sponge. He is the primary lyricist for the band and has written the music for some of their most successful songs, including “Dust to Dust,” “The Color Within,” and “Unrealized.”

Multi-talented and gifted with the ability to play various instruments, Max is also the lead vocalist of the group. Along with being musically dexterous, he has also collaborated with Keith to write lyrics on the released songs “Going Crazy” and “Way Back When.” In the studio, Max usually surmounts expectations and goes above and beyond to prepare prior to a session with his own vocal harmonies.

Jake is the song architect of the Sons and extremely instrumental in the crafting of the music. His inventive ways of bringing lyrics to life in clever ways are unprecedented and fascinating to see in the studio setting. He is a prolific writer of music as well and is credited with helping create the songs “What’s Done is Done,” “Remission,” “Way Back When” and “Wading in the Gray.” Both Max and he play lead guitar on many of the songs as well. The other members of the band fondly refer to him as the “art director” since he enjoys taking charge in those areas for the group.

Prolific and unifying, Mark is an accomplished bass player and well known in Dallas. He was in the regionally successful band, Haggard, and had opened for Sebastian Bach of Skid Row. His input in song writing has been invaluable to the process of creating captivating melodies.

Despite the pandemic putting a pause on many major events, The Intemperate Sons lived up to their name and let nothing hold them back from making music. Constantly hard at work in the studio, they have collaborated with Amir Derakh (Julien-K, Dead by Sunrise, Orgy, Rough Cutt) and Ryan Shuck (Julien-K, Adema, Dead by Sunrise, Orgy). Both have lent their musical talents to various songs and ultimately have brought the Sons on to their label, Frame|Work. This led the band to also recently join the management roster at The Label Group. Ryan worked with Amir to produce the band’s upcoming track, “Game of Keep Away,”and has had a huge impact on the group. He’s been especially influential on Max’s vocal melodies and delivery. Amir also plays guitar on this latest ballad and has been mixing all of the band’s music as well as performing on multiple songs.

Another notable collaboration has been with Tony Franklin (The Firm, Roy Harper, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Whitesnake), primarily on the first album, The Color Within. He has been a valuable friend of the band and has played bass on some of their best tracks from that album, including “Running Man,” “Dust to Dust” and “The Color Within.”

The Intemperate Sons’ take on alternative rock is a dark and powerful concoction of hard rock mixed with folk and grunge concepts. The band has earned a serious reputation for writing and performing tracks that scratch deep into the backbone of the human experience. There is no shortage of darkness in their writing style, which has a retro vibe with many guitar-driven tracks stacked on top of a groovy rhythm section. The heavier style fits perfectly with the two and three-part vocal harmonies that are a huge part of their overall sound. It has been said that musicians that are related form unique sounds and communicate at a frequency only they can understand. This frequency has become engrained in their songwriting, arrangements, guitar melodies and vocal harmonies. The band has been compared to Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots and even R.E.M.

The Intemperate Sons Show Dates:

Fri March 14 @ Fitzgerald's Bar & Live Music Venue in San Antonio, TX

Sat March 29 @ Mystical Market in McKinney, TX

Fri July 11 @ Deep Ellum Art Company in Dallas, TX

ACCESS THE NEW ALBUM 

Stoned Jesus Cover HIM

Having celebrated their 15th anniversary with two reissues last year, Stoned Jesus are turning over a new leaf in 2025. The Ukrainian psychedelic prog rockers are rolling across the European summer festival circuit in heavy anticipation of their upcoming sixth album and first with the band's new lineup. 

To kick off the new year in high gear, Stoned Jesus are honoring their fellow trailblazers HIM with a faithfully heart-pounding ode to love metal. 

Listen to Stoned Jesus cover "Buried Alive By Love" below.

Though they were already a known force on the international album charts, before "Buried Alive By Love", HIM were at odds with how they were perceived by the music industry. Igor Sydorenko - the mastermind behind Stoned Jesus - understands the feeling all too well.

"We constantly struggle with the limitations of the genre, having been pigeonholed as a stoner rock band early in our career, so HIM are very relatable to us", Igor says. "It's absolutely unfair that such a diverse and interesting band are remembered as this moody, one-dimensional bunch by the general public. I truly consider Ville Vallo one of the most underappreciated rock and metal composers ever. His way of balancing the heavy and dark stuff with the catchiest melodies is very inspiring when I'm busy with my own songwriting".  

With the opening track on 2003's Love Metal, HIM truly hit upon their signature style. "Buried Alive By Love" shot the album to the top of the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. Now, more than two decades later, the hit single is launching a new era for Stoned Jesus. The band's new rhythm section add fresh sludge, while Igor's razor-sharp riff and coolly impassioned pleas match the Finn's gothic groove drop for bloody drop.  
 
"This is just a phenomenal song", Igor continues. "Bumping HIM in the van with the new boys on our first tour together sure helped to build and solidify the chemistry that we have now". 

While only their second album, Seven Thunders Roar marks an early milestone for Stoned Jesus. The riffs still roll downhill with all the sludgy force of a mudslide, but the band added crisp acoustic guitars to reflect their newfound inner strength. "Climbing up", Igor sings on "I Am The Mountain", a 16-minute instant classic that charges through lush folksy valleys and peaks of headbanging doom at full steam. "And we're never going to stop". 

When it first arrived back in 2014, even Stoned Jesus were surprised by their follow-up to Seven Thunders Roar. Having already reached the summit of stoner metal, for The Harvest, the band dug into their progressive rock roots. With its synth-laden passages and weaving guitar solo, "Silkworm Confessions'' definitely sows those seeds. But while it leans heavily into the album's sci-fi narrative, "Here Come the Robots" comes busting out the gate with a hard-charging riff that's so aggressively catchy, it could've been programmed by alt-rock radio. 

"After years of waiting we're finally reissuing two of our most-beloved albums, the heavy prog stalwart The Harvest and the already-legendary psychedelic classic Seven Thunders Roar!" Igor says. "It's funny now to think how surprised people were hearing The Harvest for the first time - a lot of them possibly expected Seven Thunders Part Two, but as a songwriter I'd never been into repeating myself. And with Seven Thunders, what else could I say about this overlooked-then-and-praised-now record, its importance and influence for the genre?

"This was our first release with our then-manager, Vlad Lyashenko, the man who helped to shape the Ukrainian rock and metal underground into the force it is today" Igor continues. "Both reissues are dedicated to his memory, since he passed away in 2023 - hauntingly, on the very same day we'd released our fifth album, Father Light.

Croatia's Folk Metal Legion MANNTRA Announce New Album, 'Titans', out February 21, 2025!

Croatia’s finest Folk Metal powerhouse, MANNTRA, brings roaring hymns and swelling horns, announcing their 8th studio album 'Titans,' set for release on February 21, 2025 via Napalm Records! With seven albums already under their belts and a reputation forged on stages like the mighty Wacken Open Air and tours with legends like German Folk mainstays In Extremo, MANNTRA has proven themselves as a tour de force in the metal world. 'Titans' is another testament to their unstoppable momentum, blending ancient tradition with modern sounds to create something truly unforgettable.

Giving insight on their latest onslaught, today, MANNTRA release their first single, a tribute to YouTube phenomenon Miracle Of Sound, an explosive cover of “Skal”. This high-octane track is a resounding toast to unity, revelry, and the timeless power of music. With their signature fusion of raw metal riffs, traditional folk instrumentation, and industrial elements, MANNTRAdelivers an electrifying rendition of this modern classic, turning it into a full-fledged anthem for warriors, dreamers, and partygoers alike. Rooted in the band’s unique soundscape, “Skal” is a riot of pounding drums, razor-sharp guitars, and soulful pipes, seamlessly blending raucous energy with melodic folk charm, showcasing MANNTRA’s ability to bridge worlds with their masterful songwriting. Whether you’re a metalhead, a folk enthusiast, or simply someone who loves a good party, this track will have you raising your glass and stomping your feet.

MANNTRA on the new single “Skal”:

“’Skal’ is the first single from our upcoming album 'Titans.' We chose to cover this song by Miracle Of Sound because it captivated us from the first listen and already embodied the MANNTRA vibe. It felt like a song we could have written in a parallel reality. While we typically don’t do covers, this one perfectly aligns with the energy and themes of the album!”

Upcoming Folk Metal Heroes MANNTRA Unleash Relentless Energy on 'Titans'!

Formed in 2012 around mastermind Marko Matijević Sekul, the band has proven to be extremely productive as 'Titans' is already their eighth studio album. Over the years the quintet developed their trademark sound by combining raw metal riffs and hard-hitting industrial sounds with traditional folk instruments, unleashing a relentless storm of catchy metal hymns. MANNTRA’s high-energy soundscape is skillfully built by supposed opposites: authentic folk instruments like pipes and mandolins interwoven with raspy male vocals and an uplifting industrial metal sound. With their newest masterpiece, they clearly take no prisoners as the album sets off with the title track “Titans” delivering forceful rhythms and powerful drumming. This continues on tracks like “Higher” or “Riders In The Dawn” kicking off with strong intros. Like no other, MANNTRA effortlessly manages to transport the ancient tunes into modern times by combining its folk elements with synths like on “My Sandman” or the album closer “Nav” delivering massive melodies.

But MANNTRA also stay true to their roots with "Teuta” telling the story of a legendary Illyrian queen who reigned in Croatia around 200 BC and “Unholy Water (Voda)” containing a catchy chorus and intense female folk vocals delivering a hymn-like melody with lyrics partly in Croatian. The same can be witnessed in the extremely groovy and catchy “Heart Of The Storm” while uplifting “Skal” is a song to get every folk party started. A clear highlight is the combined songs “Forgotten Pt.1” and “Forgotten Pt.2” which are true industrial metal masterpieces that seamlessly cross genres, heavily leaning towards electronic elements, while maintaining their very own soundscape.

Overall 'Titans' convinces with an enormous hit density and sets a clear mark, delivering proud hymns and in-your-face metal songs that are undeniable, proving that MANNTRA is on the very top of their game, ready to enter the next level of their promising journey!

SVEN GALI UNLEASHES HEAVY COVER OF RED RIDER'S "LUNATIC FRINGE"

Canadian heavy rock legends Sven Gali have released a powerful cover of Red Rider's 1981 classic "Lunatic Fringe," bringing a fresh, hard-hitting intensity to the iconic track. Known for their energetic performances and gritty sound, Sven Gali reimagines the song with a heavier edge, blending driving guitar riffs and thunderous drums with the same raw emotion that made the original a timeless anthem. The video, produced in 2024, captures the band's high-octane spirit while paying homage to the song’s impactful and dark message.

With their heavy twist, Sven Gali reintroduces "Lunatic Fringe" to a new generation of listeners, adding their signature intensity to this legendary piece of Canadian rock history.

Through their fierce and impassioned cover, the band captures the timeless urgency of the song's message while making it unmistakably their own.

It is one in a line of heavy versions of classic Canadian songs the band will record in the near future.

Sven Gali's trademark blend of heavy riffs, gritty vocals, and anthemic melodies span decades. Cutting their teeth in the bar circuit of Southern Ontario, Canada in the late 80’s, Sven Gali’s live show was a full on circus of sex, drugs and rock n’ roll.

Emerging with a record deal with BMG, Sven Gali released their debut self-titled release in 1992. From the first chord of “Under The Influence” Sven Gali made their mark. Follow up singles “Tie Dyed Skies” and “In My Garden” paved the way for the ballad number 6 CanCon song of 1993 that also went Top 10 nationwide, “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore.”

As the album went Gold, Sven Gali won the MuchMusic Best Metal Video Award in 1993 for “Under The Influence” and was nominated for two Junos. With a worldwide release, Sven Gali toured with the likes of Def Leppard, Foreigner and April Wine.

Sven Gali’s follow-up, Inwire, was partly recorded in in Seattle with producer Kelly Gray and saw the band take on a more alternative experimental tone. The band broke up soon after the album’s release and played sporadic shows before solidifying a new lineup with original members Dave Wanless (vocals), Andy Frank (guitar) and TT (bass) bringing in guitarist Sean Williamson and drummer Dan Fila from former BMG labelmates Varga.

Sven Gali’s latest full album, Bombs And Battlescars, released in 2024, combines the best of both Sven Gali eras. The band continues to release new music and tour internationally.

SUNSTORM Release New Album 'Restless Fight' Today via Frontiers Music SRL

Today, AOR/Melodic Rock quintet SUNSTORM are proud to unleash their latest album,'Restless Fight', available through Frontiers Music Srl. The album's lead single, "Shot In The Dark", comes complete with an electrifying visualizer that captures the band's melodic rock essence.

Guitarist Aldo Lonobile comments on the focus track:

“'Shot In The Dark' is one of Ozzy’s most iconic song, the riff, the chorus, everything is just perfect and it features one of my favourite guitar players: Mr. Jake E Lee! When Serafino proposed us to record our own cover version, we were very excited, it reflects the original version, hoping that fans will appreciate it”.

Ronnie Romero expresses his enthusiasm for the release, by saying:

“I really love the new album! I believe it keeps the SUNSTORM essence with an AOR base, but bringing a fresh more guitar oriented and a heavier sound. It was fantastic to work with Aldo for the first time and I believe the fans are going to like the album very much!”

Watch the Visualizer for "Shot In The Dark" Below

SUNSTORM is a project created, overseen, and directed by Serafino Perugino, President of Frontiers Records, and it was originally designed to showcase a musical style similar to singer Joe Lynn Turner’s Melodic Rock/AOR roots.

Since 2021, SUNSTORM features one of the most impressive vocal talents of recent years, Lords of Black and Rainbow singer Ronnie Romero. Romero’s debut album with SUNSTORM, 'Afterlife' was released in early 2021 and showcased a rejuvenation of SUNSTORM's previous musical formula, mixing Melodic Rock/AOR with more '70s oriented hard rock, ala Rainbow (for which Romero performed as singer).

Romero's voice and prolific musical activity have brought him to the forefront of the hard rock/metal scene where he can be seen/heard with Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, The Michael Schenker Group, Lords of Black, The Ferrymen, and Elegant Weapons with Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner.

Ronnie Romero is also a prolific solo artist, with the release of his first two cover albums 'Raised On Radio' and 'Raised On Heavy Radio' – where he pays tribute to legendary artists from the metal world – and his latest work 'Too Many Lies, Too Many Masters', the first to feature all-new original material, released in September 2023.

With the new album 'Restless Fight', the third to feature Ronnie Romero, SUNSTORMchanged its skin. The new line-up that backs Romero, comes from a heavy background.

On guitars, Aldo Lonobile, musician, songwriter and producer (Geoff Tate's Sweet Oblivion, Archon Angel feat. Zak Stevens, Ring Of Fire feat. Mark Boals), Andrea Arcangeli (from the Italian progressive metal band DGM) on bass, Alfonso Mocerino (ex-Temperance, Virtual Simmetry) on drums and Antonio Agate (one of the most talented Italian keyboard players and arranger for symphonic orchestras, featured in countless albums) on keyboards. It brings back SUNSTORM’s classic AOR/Hard Rock formula with a strongest dose of energy, reaching a more dynamic and bombastic approach.

Order 'Restless Fight' HERE

Since the inception of the new album’s production, the discussion has centered on the concept of keeping the roots of SUNSTORM’s musical style: the AOR sound of the early records that everyone wanted, but with special attention to the 80s way to arrange the guitars and keys in order to reach more powerful vibrations. The aim was to give a fresh appeal to the new music so that it could be the perfect foundation for Romero, who with his powerful vocal style, is the perfect fit to deliver the goods for the music.

The result is 'Restless Fight,' an album where Ronnie’s vocal acrobatics sit perfectly into Lonobile’s way to play guitars, clearly influenced by the 80’s guitar heroes such as Jake E. Lee/Steve Stevens, to name a few.

'Restless Fight' stands pretty tall in its own right and SUNSTORM is here to stay with a lot more to say!

SUNSTORM are:

Ronnie Romero – Vocals

Aldo Lonobile – Guitars

Andrea Arcangeli – Bass

Antonio Agate – Keys

Alfonso Mocerino - Drums

CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX Cover Fugazi

Since banding together in 2004, Crippled Black Phoenix haven't played around when it comes to shedding light on our troubled existence. This year, Justin Greaves (ex Iron Monkey and Electric Wizard), long-time vocalist Belinda Kordic and their many collaborators are celebrating their 20th anniversary with a new two-part compilation.

While the first side of this compilation offers something slightly different than what long-time fans have come to expect,  the flip side continues the dark progressive rock band's tradition of haunting homages. Horrific Honorifics Number Two (2) includes all-new covers that range from NoMeansNo to Deep Purple, Built to Spill and Laura Branigan's Top 10 hit "Self Control".

Today, CBP are releasing a faithfully ferocious cover of "Blueprint", which Fugazi included on their widely canonized breakout album Repeater back in 1990.         

Hear Crippled Black Phoenix cover "Blueprint" below.

Horrific Honorifics Number Two (2) and The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature come out November 29 on Season of Mist.

In true CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX fashion, the Lucy Marshall-created Banefyre cover leaves plenty to the imagination, depicting four animals seated at a table — interacting and dressed like human beings. “It’s sort of like Planet of the Apes showing what animals could do to humans,” says Greaves. “The cover was specially commissioned and is unique to the album. It’s incorporating all the classic CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX elements with the love for animals and twisting the narrative around.”

CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX’s reputation was built on the back of their studio albums and live shows. The pandemic prevented the band from supporting Ellengæst, but it did provide them additional time to bring in new members to their live configuration.

“We’ve done one show since 2019,” says Greaves. “We are going to do something in Europe this year. Hopefully, we can get back on track. We’re also going to do something in the States — that’s not just talk, we’re actually going to do it. It’s well overdue. The live band is fucking amazing. We have the five of us and now we have Jordi [Farré] on drums, Paco [Fleischfresser] on synth and a really good friend of mine, Matt Crawford on bass.

“We did the Leipzig show and even though the rehearsals were better than the show itself, that lineup, our live band, is so good. Because we haven’t been under pressure to put a live band together since 2019 and spent so long talking to people, we’ve got a better band from those results. Out of disaster, we’ve got quite a good, positive thing.”

The Wolf Changes Its Fur But Not Its Nature & Horrific Honorifics Number Two(2) are a double album celebrating the 20 year existence of CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX.

DAVID ELLEFSON ANNOUNCES 2025 BASS WARRIOR TOUR DATES AND JUDAS PRIEST COVER SONG ​

GRAMMY Award winning bassist DAVID ELLEFSON has announced his BASS WARRIORTOUR across Europe for spring 2025. The tour will feature Ellefson and his solo band performing select cuts from his well-known catalog of Mega hits, solo material and other hard rock & metal favorites which inspired him during his 40-year music career.

The song is now available across all digital platforms and can be heard below.

METAL GODS

Ellefson states, “As we’re announcing the next round of Bass Warrior tour dates for 2025 it seemed fitting to push out a new track which so clearly identifies heavy metal music, that of our favorite Judas Priest! And, to do it with our friend James Durbin on vocals. He has such a fantastic voice and he even performed with the mighty Priest on American Idol so this story pretty much wrote itself.”

Durbin continues, “When David Ellefson & Andrea Martongelli DM you and want you to cover Judas Priest with them, the answer is ‘YES’!  Aside from the late great Ronnie James Dio, the mighty Priest are the top of the heavy metal mountain for me and covering their music is a request I’ll never turn down, especially considering who that request come from.”

James Durbin was a contestant on the 10th season of American Idol and performed alongside Judas Priest during the show’s finale that year.  The track is produced by Ellefson and his solo band guitarist Andy Martongelli and mixed by Alessio Garavello at Rogue Recording Studios in Wembley, UK.

Musician’s featured on the Metal Gods track are:

James Durbin-Lead Vocals

David Ellefson-Bass Guitar

Andy Martongelli-Lead & Rhythm Guitars

SÉANCE OF SORROW - RELEASE MUSIC VIDEO FOR THEIR COVER OF AUDIOSLAVE'S 'LIKE A STONE' !

Dark rock outfit SÉANCE OF SORROW are treating fans to a special Halloween release in the form of a music video. The band pays homage to the iconic Chris Cornell by covering AUDIOSLAVE's 'Like A Stone'. 

The band uses music as their medium to communicate with the mortal world. Acting as a conduit between the realm of the living and the realm of the dead, his mournful melodies tell their story. For the cover, the band wanted to create a darker and somber interpretation of the AUDIOSLAVE classic, The track was engineered, mixed, and mastered by Josiah Wiswell. 

SÉANCE OF SORROW's Michael Morrison comments, "Audioslave released their debut album 22 years ago. When I first heard Like A Stone, it sent chills through my body. The subtle delivery of morbid lyrics combined with Chris Cornell's vocal mastery left a lasting impression on me. With the song hailed as a classic, and Chris Cornell's passing cementing him as a legend and icon, I wanted to breathe new life into it. Rather than make a carbon copy, I wanted to give it a new, darker identity. I hope it finds its way into the hearts of old fans of the original and new fans who have never heard it before.” 

Each song provides a psychic vision to vocalist Michael Morrison, revealing details of their former lives, grieving loved ones, and similar, tragic endings. 

Condemned to ‘The Black’, a place where forsaken souls with unfinished business reside, they strive to eventually write the one song that will give Michael the vision of who took their lives. Until then, SOS play their cryptic hard rock through eternal darkness. Close your eyes, open your hearts, and let the ritual begin. This is the SÉANCE OF SORROW.

In case you missed it, the band released the tracks 'Unholy Angel' and 'Dark Rain'. earlier this year. Fans can head to seanceofsorrow.com to enjoy the comic book recreations of the music videos and purchase band merch. Stay tuned for the upcoming singles and comic book installments chronicling the tragic tale.
