Close Enemies Release New Single "Inside Out" through TLG|ROCK; Announce Tour Dates!

February 28, 2025

Close Enemies, a powerhouse band featuring legendary musicians Tom Hamilton, multiple Grammy winner, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, and bassist of the biggest-selling American rock band of all time, Aerosmith, is joined by legendary drummer Tony Brock (The Babys and Rod Stewart), touring veterans Peter Stroud (Sheryl Crow and Don Henley) and Trace Foster on guitar, and singer Chasen Hampton, who has been singing professionally since the age of 11, as a member and co-host of the famed 90s Mickey Mouse Club and pop group The Party, proudly announce the release of their second single "Inside Out" through TLG|ROCK, distributed through Virgin Music Group.

"'Inside Out' puts the feeling of a whirlwind toxic relationship into 3+ glorious minutes," explains the band. "The speedball beginning, the narcotic-fueled middle, and the inevitably spectacular crash landing end—it's all there in the song."

Unlike the name suggests, these five guys are close friends, each with an illustrious musical career. The band announced new tour dates in support of their release (dates below).

ANTHRAX's "Inside Out" Re-Imagined By MAMMOTHOR For Its 25th Anniversary

December 18, 2023

Boston's heavy rock powerhouse, Mammothor, proudly unveils their latest single, "Inside Out," from their eagerly anticipated album, Lies By Omission. This re-imagined rendition, originally by the thrash icons, Anthrax, marks a compelling homage to one of the band's pivotal influences.

"'Inside Out' emerged as a natural choice, as a cover for us on the new album,"shares vocalist Travis Lowell, acknowledging the track's dynamic vocal hooks and thunderous rhythms. "The response from our live performances validated our decision. I even had the honor of connecting with John Bush, the original singer, who graciously extended his best wishes."

Reminiscent of Anthrax's original video 25 years ago, which cleverly parodied a Twilight Zone episode, Mammothor pays tribute not only to the song but also the beloved TV series, and in turn, Anthrax's video. Collaborating with the visionary lens of Humble Hero's Ben Proulx, Mammothor crafted an epic rock video that is destined to be timeless.

Fresh from the success of their latest album, Lies By Omission, Mammothor has numerous reasons to rejoice. With an astounding 3.1 million streams on Spotifyand an incredible 4-week reign at the #1 position on the regional charts, the band stands as a rising force in the independent rock and metal scene.

"Inside Out" officially drops on Friday, December 15, on all major streaming platforms. An exclusive premiere of their music video can be found below.

Mammothor is an American hard rock band from Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 2012, Mammothor features vocalist Travis Lowell, the dual guitar attack of Josh Johnson and Alex Muss, bassist Lori Gangi, and drummer Euz Azevedo. The eclectic background of each member helps Mammothor deliver the essence of rock, combining thunderous heavy metal riffs with the versatility of 90’s alternative.

Mammothor has progressed with each album release, developing their sound throughout the years, and consistently improving both their live performance and their album production. Their 2014 debut album, Tyrannicide, showcased the band’s heavy blues rock influences, and its follow-up, 2017's Devotion Lost, featured more progressive and alt-metal leanings. The band returned in 2021 with The Ecstasy of Silence...The Agony of Dreams, which proved to be the band's most streamlined effort to date with the enlistment of Kevin Billingslea (Lamb of God) and Will Holland (Fallout Boy) for recording/co-production and Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Queensryche, Hatebreed, Shadows Fall) for mixing and mastering. Mammothor has once again teamed with Billingslea, Holland, and Zeuss for their latest album, Lies By Omission, with post-production handled by Jake Adkins and Connor Riley (Wake Up Hate).

Mammothor has toured with and supported many national acts including the likes of Saliva and Hed(PE), in addition to opening massive shows for legends including Megadeth, Godsmack, and Korn.

Horror Punk Icon WEDNESDAY 13 Goes Heavy as Hell on New Single "Insides Out"

September 8, 2022

Ninth Studio Album, 'Horrifier', out October 7, 2022

via Napalm Records

Pre-Order HERE

On Tour Now in North America!

The undisputed harbinger of metal horror WEDNESDAY 13 recently announced his highly-anticipated next album of terrifyingly grim and groovy anthems, entitled 'Horrifier', out October 7, 2022 via Napalm Records. Following up on 2019’s acclaimed 'Necrophaze' (#2 US Heatseekers), with 'Horrifier', the former frontman of renowned horror punk supergroup Murderdolls revitalizes his sound with intensely fun punk energy and metallic attitude!

Today, following up on the album's addictive first single, "You're so Hideous", WEDNESDAY 13 has revealed what is likely one of, if not the heaviest track of his career, entitled "Insides Out". The gory track - accompanied today by an equally gruesome video - boasts a colossal main riff before roaring with a searing chorus featuring slithering vocals and hair-raising guitar effects.

WEDNESDAY 13 says about "Insides Out":

“Our latest single "Insides Out'"is a very heavy song, so it only made sense to make a video to match the sound! Torture and violence is the main theme of this song, and we continue along the lines of the last music video with another horror movie theme here too."

Watch the official video for "Insides Out"

Showcasing a blend of styles plucked from the band’s 20-year career, 'Horrifier' weaves an underlying sonic thread reminiscent of WEDNESDAY 13’s roots – a raucous blend of ballistic metal and macabre heavy rock that’ll have new and diehard fans alike ascending from the depths. As always, various tracks on the album are inspired by classic horror flicks, this time circling cult-favorite slasher John Carpenter’s Halloween and the iconic Christine supernatural thrillers.

WEDNESDAY 13’s ninth full-length album kicks off with eerie introductory track “Severed”before careening into one of the band’s heaviest songs ever recorded, the massive, slow and low “Insides Out”. The aggressive, industrial-edged “Exhume and Devour” and warning sing-a-long single “You’re so Hideous” pick up the pace with danceable 90s sonic vigor, while surefire hit “Good Day to Be a Bad Guy” aces the pure horror punk spirit of Murderdolls as a downright blissful tongue-in-cheek earworm that’ll seep into the listener’s head on repeat. John Carpenter’s Halloween inspired anthem “Return to Haddonfield” convinces with marching gang vocals and a searing metallic guitar solo before the pace picks up again on fast-riffing, mosh-ready title track “Horrifier”. Southern-fried metal tinged “Hell Is Coming” is one of the album’s best displays of stylistic versatility, accented by an impressively commanding vocal performance while pumping out a thrash-worthy breakdown and blues rock solo. “Halfway to the Grave” sees the band echoing 80s flavor accented by memorable leads and imploring lyrics before leading into the charging Christine themed album standout “Christine: Fury in the Night”, featuring pounding drums, an unforgettable hook and a transfixing guitar lead that quite literally drives. 'Horrifier' closes with its most heartfelt track, “The Other Side” – a personal ode WEDNESDAY 13 penned about the sudden loss of his mother, as well as former Murderdolls bandmate Joey Jordison – but that also shines as a vital anthem made further pertinent after recent years of intense worldwide loss and reflection.

'Horrifier' was produced and recorded by WEDNESDAY 13 with mixing and mastering by Brent Clawson and features stunning album artwork by Jonny Bush.

WEDNESDAY 13 offers about 'Horrifier':

"The last three releases have seen the band explore new ground with heavier songs, drums, and vocals. Coming out of the Covid crisis, I promised I would not release a sad, depressing record. I wanted to make a fun, horror themed rock record that would be reminiscent of the first few WEDNESDAY 13 records. The new album is a fun, fast-paced, thriller!"

Madame Mayhem Releases New Single "Inside Out" to all major platforms!

July 9, 2022

"Inside Out" can be streamed/downloaded here:

https://onerpm.link/InsideOut

Madame Mayhem has released her new single "Inside Out” to all digital platforms and radio.

The Manhattan born singer/songwriter and burgeoning rock icon-in-the-making has weaponized the darkness, turning it into a rallying cry for all who were ever cast aside. Songs like “Broken,” “War You Started,” “So Wrong,” “Breaking Down,” “Cruel Heart,” and “I Am More” are equal parts timeless sentiment, bare knuckle fury, and energized urgency.

As is the new single “Inside Out” - written by Madame Mayhem and Keith Wallen. It was produced by Johnny K (Disturbed, Megadeth, Sevendust, Finger Eleven). Lead vocals is Madame Mayhem with Keith on guitars and Jason "JBomb" Harrison on drums. Madame Mayhem’s songs rival the best of Modern Rock, early ‘90s emotive-grunge, and nü-metal angst.

Her thoughts on the song - "'Inside Out' is about standing up for yourself after being pushed around by that person in your life that lives for playing games and finally gets a dose of their own medicine."

Teaming up to write with Keith Wallen again was so much fun and Johnny K producing it really helped bring the song to life.

She adds, "Although I'm currently working on new music, I felt strongly about releasing 'Inside Out' now because this song keeps calling back to me. I can't get it out of my head and wanted to finally put it out in the world!”

Earlier this year, “I Am More” hit the Top 40 on the Mediabase, BDS Billboard and BDS Indicator charts. Also Top 20 on The Foundations chart.

She has also shared stages with Sevendust, Memphis May Fire, Fozzy, Nonpoint and Doro and recently wrapped the 2 month Living Like I’m Dead US tour. This summer Madame Mayhem will be playing the main stages for The Mid-Summer Music Festival and KFML’s End of Summer Festival, both in Minnesota.

Those who yearn for the electric catharsis of loud guitars, driving rhythms, hypnotic hooks, and the strength of shared experience have a new muse in Madame Mayhem. Inside Out!

Those who yearn for the electric catharsis of loud guitars, driving rhythms, hypnotic
hooks, and the strength of shared experience have a new muse in Madame Mayhem.

The Manhattan born singer/songwriter takes charge of her own anxiety, hurt, and alienation, crushing it with sheer force of will, then channeling the remaining ether into pulse-pounding anthems, instantly connecting with anyone who has struggled.

She’s shared stages with Sevendust, Memphis May Fire, Fozzy, Nonpoint and Doro. Across three exceedingly well-received albums – Ready for Me (2017), Now You Know (2015), and White Noise (2012) – Madame Mayhem worked with Russ “Satchel” Parrish (Steel Panther), Corey Lowery (Seether), Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (ex-Guns N’ Roses), and Troy McLawhorn (Evanescence) to name just a few. Her 2019 single “Broken” was co-written with Keith Wallen (Breaking Benjamin) and features her longtime friends and collaborators Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, Winery Dogs, Sons of Apollo) and Ray Luzier (Korn). “Breaking Down”, which Madame Mayhem co-wrote with Brian Vodinh (10 Years) and also produced by Johnny K, was released in 2020. She once again collaborated with Keith Wallen for the February 2021 single release of “Cruel Heart”. This song was produced and arranged by Johnny K (Disturbed, Megadeth, Sevendust, Finger Eleven). The current release, "I Am More" (2022) got rave reviews at Rock Radio. Written By Madame Mayhem and Keith Wallen, produced by Johnny K and includes Keith on guitar, Billy Sheehan on bass and Jason “JBomb” Harrison on the drums.

Her music has taken her into some of the world’s best-known venues, like B.B. King Blues Club in New York, The Roxy in Hollywood, and a Grammy week stint at Nashville’s Bluebird Café, to name just a few. Loudwire premiered her “Ready for Me” music video. She’s garnered very positive press in Revolver and Guitar World. The buzz has spread overseas as well, demonstrated by profiles in long-running tastemaker publications like Rock Hard, Aardschok, and Metal Hammer magazine.

As the fashion press observed, the look is the medium and the music is the message. The self-expression inherent in goth and glam are just more colors on Madame Mayhem’s artistic palette. Black eyeliner and black leather; pink lips and sharp spikes; it’s part of an arsenal as timeless as the New York Dolls or The Runaways.

There’s no escaping the darkness. Life is full of unpleasant surprises. Real and imagined disasters, from outside forces and from within, threaten at every turn. But those who learn to control and command the chaos will triumph. This rock n’ roll badass invites each audience to become the Madame of their own Mayhem. As ASX declared, “She’s aggressive, outrageous, and operatic… And she’s ready for you.”
