Stripping the Pistol Unleashes New Single "Black Reflections" Featured in New Film "The Throwback" starring Will Sasso with Bobby Lee Out Now

Get ready to rock as the dynamic band Stripping the Pistol drops their debut single, "Black Reflections," today alongside the release of the highly anticipated movie, "The Throwback"!

“'Black Reflections': violence, manipulation, and getting dragged into someone else’s chaos leaving us to fight an internal battle in our heads. All the while leaving our soul and what makes us happy in the darkness,” says Kevin Cherello, one of the band's vocalist.

Known for their electrifying sound and raw energy, Stripping the Pistol doesn't disappoint with "Black Reflections." The song's pulsating rhythm and intense lyrics perfectly complement the cinematic experience of "The Throwback," creating a seamless fusion of music and visuals.

This band is about straight-in-your-face rock n’ roll. Stripping the Pistol formed with the intention of breaking the rules. The Chicago band blends aggression with melody. The seamless interplay of the dueling vocalists is balanced by the precision, power, and energy of the music.

"The Throwback," written, directed and produced by Mario Garcia along with producer Michael Alfier, is a film about a married couple who are thrown into a crisis when the wife, an under-appreciated and stressed "supermom," suffers a post-traumatic breakdown causing her to regress to her college-age, party-girl self.

HEILUNG Reveals Collaboration with Video Game "Conqueror's Blade"

Enigmatic Nordic collective HEILUNG is now proudly announcing their collaboration with MY.GAMES and Booming Tech for the new season of the 'Conquerer's Blade' video game, 'VII: "Wolves of Ragnarok." The newly launched trailer for the game, featuring the track "Galgaldr,"

With lyrics recorded in Old Norse and inspired by Völuspá – a prophecy of Ragnarok from the Poetic Edda - HEILUNG’s atmospheric sound will immerse players in a dark new era for 'Conqueror’s Blade.' HEILUNG will also see their name being eternalized in one of the new combat map locations, which is now officially called ‘Heilung Fjord,’ and serves as a place for healing.

More info on the game can be found HERE.

Following an extremely successful first ever tour of North America, in which every venue sold out, HEILUNG are returning to the states for one spectacular evening! The Danish formation will be bringing their mesmerizing ritual to the historic, century-old Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver, CO on October 5, 2021. Tickets for the 2020 show will be honored at the new date. For every ticket sold, One Tree Planted will plant a tree in Colorado. You can purchase tickets HERE.

Last year, HEILUNG shared their first ever music video for the Independent Music Award-winning song "Norupo," which is taken from 2019's critically-acclaimed release, 'Futha!' The video was shot at the Neolithic standing stones at Les Menhirs de Monteneuf in France. You can watch the stunning video at THIS LOCATION.

"Norupo" is composed around the ancient runic poem with the name ”The Norwegian Rune Poem”. The poem was preserved in a 17th-century copy of a now lost 13th-century manuscript and gives a complete description of all sixteen runes of the younger Futhark.

HEILUNG will be supporting their 2019 release, 'Futha,' which debuted at #3 on the Billboard Heatseeker charts and #4 on the Billboard World Music Charts, placing on a total of seven Billboard charts within the first week of its release.

During 2020's Game Awards, HEILUNG announced that they will be working with U.K.-based gaming company Ninja Theory on the soundtrack for their upcoming game, 'Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II.' The announcement trailer for the new game features HEILUNG's song 'In Maidjan,' which is taken from their debut album, 'Ofnir.' Watch the trailer HERE.

The band's music was featured in a trailer for the final season of HBO's 'Game of Thrones' series. It can be viewed HERE.

This was not the first time HEILUNG's music has been featured in a commercial, as “Krigsgaldr” was featured in a 2018 commercial for the Adidas x Alexander Wang collaboration. Watch the commercial HERE!

'Futha' was released on June 28 and can be streamed HERE and ordered HERE.

Speaking about 'Futha,' BILLBOARD wrote, "Tracks like 'Norupo,' which is led by female vocals, is beautiful and melodic, and the choir and tribal percussive background of 'Othan' is trance-like." You can read the full feature, which includes an interview with HEILUNG's Kai Uwe Faust, HERE.

Upon its release, 'Futha' has been met with international critical acclaim. Here is what the press is saying:

"There’s an earthy aura surrounding the record, not just from the sounds of nature but the primal energy it evokes, trying to wake something long lost to the ravages of time... the power and conviction of these chanted tales connect on a deeper level than mere riffs. You just have to let it in." - Kerrang

"'Futha' is consequently more a gentle, comforting blessing than it is an album: an escape from contemporary concerns and a reminder that there is still magic in this world." - Pure Grain Audio

"'Futha' leaves no stone unturned in its quest to experiment and bring its own true experience to the table. That said, it is easy to fall into a trance and with eyes closed to be transported to the past world that Heilung brings back to life. That is why Cryptic Rock gives Futha 4 out of 5 stars." - Cryptic Rock

"Indeed, I have no better word for the music than 'spellbinding.' The combination of the hide-drum and electronic rhythms, the contrasting vocals of Faust and Franz, the mystical keyboard layers, and the dark and ethereal melodies is wonderful." - No Clean Singing

"Heilung have just the ticket with their new record, 'Futha' (Season of Mist), which layers ancient Germanic chants six feet deep for total disembodied bliss." - Free Williamsburg

"Hypnotic and evocative, this preview of Heilung's upcoming album 'Futha' hints that another tradition-steeped masterpiece from the fascinating collective is to come." - Revolver Magazine

IAN ABEL BAND Releases New Single, "Not Afraid to Die"!

"Not Afraid to Die" Selected as Soundtrack for CODY RHODES vs DARBY ALLEN on AEW's FULL GEAR!

First heard as the theme for the Cody vs Darby, TNT Championship, match at AEW Full Gear 2020Vocals + Guitar: Ian AbelAdditional Guitar: Reed WolcottDrums: J...

L.A. Based IAN ABEL BAND has released their new single, "Not Afraid to Die." Produced by Jon Graber, "Not Afraid to Die" debuted as the theme for the Cody vs Darby TNT Championship match at AEW Full Gear 2020, the second of the band's singles to be showcased on the popular professional wrestling company's pay-per-view shows (2019 released "Shoes" was featured as the theme for the Dustin Rhodes versus Cody feud leading into AEW’s Double Or Nothing event).

"I wrote and recorded this song specifically for Cody Rhodes. It was originally intended to be the Double or Nothing, Cody vs Dustin, promo, but Cody preferred "Shoes". At the time, AEW was just beginning and I wanted to write something that I thought captured Cody's trailblazer like spirit. In hindsight, the song was better suited for the video package which included, Steve-O, Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin. Three very original performers who have paved their own way into history. Something I admire and am attempting to do myself." - IAN ABEL

Originally from Louisville Kentucky singer, songwriter, and lead guitar player Ian Abel connected with New York drummer Kenny Schwartz and high school friend Westray Tackett in Los Angeles in early 2017. Together ,with the help of their friend and master audio engineer, Jon Graber, they began tracking an 11 song album in 2018 at United Recording.

The first song released from that recording session, titled “Shoes”, was licensed in May of 2019 to All Elite Wresting for a promotional video for the historic fight between Cody and Dustin Rhodes at the company’s inaugural pay-per-view, Double or Nothing.

Since then, Ian Abel Band added bassist Karthik Suresh, played the world famous Troubadour, relocated to Nashville, and worked again with Cody and AEW in November 2020 for Cody Rhodes vs Darby Allin at the pay-per-view, Full Gear.. Big guitars, big drums and even bigger hooks. That’s what the Ian Abel Band is all about.
