HEILUNG are known around the world for transcending the boundaries of music. They don't play shows but perform a ritual, fusing together earth, fire and incense with throat singing, primordial rhythms, subtle electronic textures, a mesmerizing light show and instruments made from human bone.

Today, Christopher Juul, Maria Franz, Kai Uwe Faust and their Nordic collective are sharing Heilung's most sacred ritual yet. Lifa Iotungardwas recorded at Red Rocks Amphitheater in October 2021 during Heilung's first sold-out performance at the renowned venue. This special performance is now available today for the very first time on CD and vinyl through Season of Mist.

Weeks ahead of his show, The Seattle Times predicted the “era-spanning country great” would be one of the biggest shows of the season, and tonight at Lumen Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks, Sounders FC and OL Reign, 59,142 — a new attendance record for a concert — turned out to welcome George Strait back to the Emerald City. 
 
Marking his first time performing at Lumen — having last played in Tacoma on his Cowboy Rides Away Tour on April 12, 2014 — the Texas troubadour kicked things off shortly after 9p, commencing his illustrious 31-song set. 
 
As one of only a handful of remaining chances to see Strait this year, the crowd reveled in the opportunity, erupting in response to Strait’s saunter to stage and simple salutation, “Hello Seattle!” 
 
With 60 No. 1 singles to pull from — and 25 Top 10s — the 89x Platinum music icon played offerings spanning from 1981’s Strait Country to 2019’s Honky Tonk Time Machine. 
 
Midway through set, Strait welcomed Chris Stapleton to the stage to perform “Pancho and Lefty” followed by two songs the 10x GRAMMY winner penned for Strait: “You Don’t Know What You’re Missing” and “Love’s Gonna Make It Alright.”
 
A few stadium shows remain this year: Nashville, Tennessee on July 28 & 29 and Tampa, Florida on August 5. For more information and to purchase tickets to upcoming dates, visit GeorgeStrait.com.

ELECTRIC MOB ANNOUNCE SPECIAL LIVE RELEASE 'BETTER LIVE THAN NEVER' (OFFICIAL BOOTLEG) OUT NOW

The brilliant Electric Mob are currently putting the finishing touches on their upcoming second studio album, details of which will be unveiled before year's end.

In the meantime, Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the release of a very special live performance from the band, "Better Live Than Never", captured at Nico's Studio in the band's hometown of Curitiba, Brazil.

The audio of the full performance can also be streamed

A mixture of powerful vocals, mean guitar riffs, and heavy groove with influences from the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s, Electric Mob are faithful students, lovers, and progenitors of rock ‘n roll.

This, for lack of a better term, "electric" performance from the band features tracks culled from the band's debut album "Discharge" as well as tracks from their independent EP, "Leave A Scar" and showcases how they are clearly a coming force to be reckoned with. 

Formed in Curitiba, Brazil by Renan Zonta (vocals), Ben Hur Auwarter (guitar), Yuri Elero (bass), and André Leister (drums), Electric Mob caught the attention of Frontiers with their tremendous hard rock songs that show the influence of contemporary hard rock giants while also showing a knowledge of the hard rock pillars of the '70s and '80s.

Electric Mob is made up of four young, hungry, and extremely talented musicians, with the rock 'n roll attitude to deliver their explosive performances. Like a sonic punch to the face, their songs bring a heavy sound with a distinct groove. 

One of rock’s most exciting and promising newcomers in years. Get on board the rock n’ roll train!

Electric Mob are:

Renan Zonta - Vocals

Ben Hur Auwarter - Guitar

So after dozens of hours of editing down the footage of us talking about our penises, our videographer Connor Gilkinson managed to scrape together this documentary. It takes place between August 2019 and December 2020, along with some footage of our album release shows November 2021. We hope you enjoy it!"

'Bleed the Future' was named The #1 Album of the Year by Pop Matters as well as Banger TV's Viewer's Choice!

ERDVE Streams Virtual Performance from Lukiškės Prison

Experimental Sludge outfit ERDVE is now streaming the virtual live performance that was recorded in at the Lukiškės prison in Lithuania in September 2020. The unique experience was captured in full by No Brake productions and can be viewed below.

About the location:
The stage at the Lukiškės Prison was set up in a round 4-level hall, which is a main part of the 1st prison block that used to serve as a death row for prisoners a while ago. After the death penalty became prohibited in 1998, the 1st prison block was only used for prisoners serving a life-sentence right until 2019 relocation of inmates to another prison.

ERDVE comment on the show: "Our goal was to enhance the eerie atmosphere of the prison architecture with our musical performance, yet you could still feel the smell and the surrounding energy from the recent prison life. We are happy to be able to share this documented footage shot by NO BRAKE productions, providing a closer look from multiple points of view."

ERDVE is supporting their brand new album, 'Savigaila,' which was released on July! Stream, download, and order HERE.

Style: Experimental Hardcore Sludge

Crushing insanity drips atmospherically out of every crack on 'Savigaila', experimenting with elements from hardcore, sludge, and black metal.

When ERDVE formed in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius in 2016, the band had a clear aesthetic vision of creating a unique heavy sound that experimented with elements from hardcore, sludge, and black metal – yet was not bound by any unwritten “rules” surrounding those genres. ERDVE’s members had already been active in their local scene and performed in various acts such as NYKSTA, SRAIGĖS EFEKTAS, and SPIRALE. A self-made tape version of their debut made its rounds in underground circles and the Lithuanians received the rare honour of being picked straight out of the dreaded demo pile by virtue of their musical strength and compelling quality.

The core ideas behind ERDVE are translated into lyrics, visuals, and sound by in-depth reflection on concepts such as domestic violence, utmost disgusting behaviour, crimes against humanity, and extremism. Their debut album 'Vaitojimas', released in 2018 by Season of Mist, delivered exactely that!

The new offering 'Savigaila', which translates as "self-pity", revolves around overcoming the numbness within the great challenges of unsettling reality, and accepting them as they are. Regret, envy, self-regard, love, care and togetherness. From completely understandable to the most unreasonable sense. This idea is turned into melodies, rhythm, and sound by ERDVE on the bands upcoming sophomore album.

But make no mistake, ERDVE successfully transformed these melodies into a new unnerving experience on how THEY perceive life and with 'Savigaila', you may find that enjoying life, can be entirely implausible...

Join ERDVE on their next journey into the Baltic darkness!
