Death Ray Vision (Feat. KsE bassist Mike D) Sign to Metal Blade Records + New Album Out In 2023!

DEATH RAY VISION SIGN TO METAL BLADE RECORDS

BAND FEATURES KILLSWITCH ENGAGE BASSIST MIKE D'ANTONIO AND INTRODUCES NEW VOCALIST

NEW ALBUM NO MERCY FROM ELECTRIC EYES OUT LATER THIS YEAR

Birthed at the juncture where hardcore and punk meet metal, DEATH RAY VISION are proud to announce they have found a home. They have signed with Metal Blade Records for their forthcoming third album, No Mercy From Electric Eyes, due out in summer of this year. More details on the album are coming soon.

The band has shared the following teaser, which includes a snippet of a new song. Watch and listen below.

"I could not be more excited about Death Ray Vision joining the Metal Blade family," says bassist Mike D'Antonio. "The new record is a banger, and I can't think of a better record label to release it to the world!"

Metal Blade founder Brian Slagel concurs, "Super excited to welcome Death Ray Vision to the Metal Blade family! We love working with Mike D and look forward to this one!"

Commencing writing in late 2018 following a tour with Killswitch Engage — who share bassist D'Antonio with DRV — the band had a lot of creative momentum still burning following that year's Negative Mental Attitude and kept it rolling.  The results will demonstrate that they are playing at the top of their game.  "We're a lot more cohesive as a band after playing together for so many years, and we've gotten better at songwriting and collaborating to bring out the best in everyone’s ideas," says guitarist Pete Cortese.

A further new dimension affecting the sound is the addition of vocalist Keith Bennett to the band's ranks, who the existing members knew would be the perfect fit from his time with notable acts Wrecking Crew, Panzerbastard (both of whom shared the stage with Cortese and D'Antonio's other band Overcast), and Ramallah. "Keith brings a whole lot of piss and vinegar, with a side of street cred. He brought a new sense of enthusiasm and excitement and got us even more fired up to make a great record," says Cortese. Guitarist Chris Rosati adds, "Creatively speaking, Keith is a force of nature. His ability to get inside a new song and quickly come up with vocals and lyrics is really something to witness." 

Expect great things from DEATH RAY VISION in 2023!

DEATH RAY VISION ARE:
Keith Bennett — Vocals
Chris Rosati — Guitar/vocals

GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING GUITARIST CHRIS PEREZ RELEASES DEBUT SINGLE "PUSHING AHEAD" VIA MALASPALABRAS RECORDS

Chris Perez, the Grammy Award-Winning Guitarist, Songwriter, Best-Selling Author,
and husband to the late Latin superstar, Selena, will release single "PUSHING AHEAD',
on September 23rd with official music video to follow soon after. Released via Malaspalabras Records, the new label founded by comedy star George Lopez and Carlos Santana’s vocalist Andy Vargas, is the company’s debut single. “Pushing Ahead," the feel-good tune for the fall, fuses pop, rock, hip-hop and a bit of Latin flavor that compels all who listen to uplift their spirits and have hope for the future.

This is also the first time Chris Perez steps up to the microphone and sings lead vocals
on his new single.

“I was in New York City when the riff came to me in a dream at 4 a.m. I immediately
woke up and ran to my guitar to record the idea. I got back to Texas, went to my studio,
and finished writing the song in about an hour. We all must roll with the punches in life,
especially when things get difficult. This song was meant to help lift your spirits and
inspire you to continue to push ahead, never stop trying to achieve your goals, and
never give up,” said Perez.

“Pushing Ahead” was produced by Grammy-Award Winning producer Robert “Bobbo”
Gomez III with a guest feature by Tejano Rapper Zeus. El Mero Necio. The deal
between Perez, Malaspalabras, and distribution/marketing company UnitedMasters
(owned by CEO & music mogul Steve Stoute) was facilitated by John Gomez, a
successful talent manager/entrepreneur with twenty-five years’ experience in Entertainment, Music, Sports, and Drama. He’s worked closely with a vast network of key influencers and decision makers and has represented multi-platinum artists of all genres- Grammy winners, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, Hip Hop and Rock legends, Pro Sports Athletes, and artists at various stages in their careers.

Perez and his Grammy Award-Winning band, the CHRIS PEREZ BAND, will be making
their triumphant return and headlining at the State Fair of Texas in Dallas, TX on Tues.
October 4th. This appearance will mark the band’s first live performance since the
COVID-19 pandemic shut the world down in early 2020. Deeply connected to their
Hispanic heritage but loving the vibe of American Rock, the Chris Perez Band is a Latin
Rock band infused with English and Spanish grooves, swaggering guitar riffs, stadium-
sized hooks, and captivating lyrics. The band won a Grammy Award for Best Latin
Rock/Alternative Album for their album Resurrection, beating out many notable acts.
Rounding out the lineup is Grammy Award-Winning singer, John Garza.

CYNIC Previews Video for New Song, "Diamond Light Body"

Progressive rock legend CYNIC will be releasing highly anticipated new full-length 'Ascension Codes' November 26 via Season of Mist! The band is now sharing a preview and video teaser for the track "Diamond Light Body," featuring artwork by visionary artists, Martina Hoffmann and Robert Venosa. Design and animations by Randy Gaul and Jonatan Martinez (the latter worked with Masvidal on the Mythical Human Vessel trilogy). Watch and listen below.

"Diamond Light Body is a song that emerges from the ashes like a phoenix" says Paul Masvidal, Cynic founder.

Cynic's Ascension Codes is a remarkably far-reaching work, and if nothing else, a clear indication that they have landed in a place of mastery. The album, paradoxically, acts as both swan song and rebirth. The band has recently released the mind-bending first single, "Mythical Serpents," which can be heard at THIS LOCATION.

Pre-orders for 'Ascension Codes' are now live at the Season of Mist E-Shop, the CYNIC Bandcamp, and official CYNIC shop.

ICYMI: Masvidal recently shared a touching tribute to late bassist Sean Malone, who died on December 7, 2020. To commemorate Malone's legacy, CYNIC has released a never-before-heard recorded performance of the song "Integral," in which Malone performs fretless bass. "Integral" was originally released as a solo guitar and vocal track on Cynic's 'Re-Traced' EP. The emotional tribute can be found at THIS LOCATION.

As an act of support, CYNIC is inviting fans to donate as you wish for the "Integral" song download, which comes with a guitar/bass transcription of the song and an instrumental (no bass mix) to play along with. 50 percent of proceeds will be shared with suicide prevention organizations: To Write Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA) and The Trevor Project. The remaining will go towards funding a documentary about the lives and artistry of Sean Malone and Sean Reinert.

OVTLIER Release New Single "BULLETPROOF" via Zoid Entertainment today!; On Tour with Gemini Syndrome this Summer!

"Bulletproof" Stream/Buy link:

https://ffm.to/bulletproof__

OVTLIER released their new single "BULLETPROOF" via Zoid Entertainment today. The single grabbed the #3 MOST ADDED spot on the Billboard (BDS) Mainstream Rock Indicator chart, and the #2 MOST ADDED spot on the Foundations SMR chart!

In addition, the band announced that they will join Gemini Syndrome on their USA Summer Tour along with A Killer's Confession and Pushing Veronica. The tour starts on July 9th in Salt Lake City, UT at Royal Bar and concludes on August 15th in Albuquerque, NM at Launchpad.

"We live in an age where everything has become politicized; from image to virus. I have watched both bands and people label and segregate one another solely based on a difference of not character but opinion. We are force-fed so much false information by the media, although many are aware, we still have lost some humanity. I have grown impatient with the amount of ignorance and hypocrisy that spews from the puppets of this world. Anger would be an understatement. I look forward to the day people can look to grey area and realize there’s more to it all. “Bulletproof” is a call to my fellow man to remove the veils and look into the grey. These corrupt politicians are playing you. I don’t care what side you stand on or what bias feelings you hold to your “party”. I’m not left or right, up or down. I look at character and could care less about the empty promises and bullshit they are selling to your emotions only to gain a vote. I refuse to be a pawn in their game. We will never divide our audience based on age, sex, identity or politics, for our goal is to bring love and light together. Our “leaders” don’t want unity for that becomes a threat to agenda. I’m fed up. I want the old model to fall so we can build within its stead. It’s time for change and that starts with us" says Joey Arena.

Ovtlier has grown into a roaring rock band of stadium ambitions. Led by the enigmatic frontman Joey Arena, Ovlier has already captured the hearts of more than 60K daily followers online, more than 2.1 million views of fan-curated content on YouTube, over half a million streams Spotify, appearing in Revolver Magazine, Alternative Press, Loudwire, ABC News and has been selling out shows around the Northeast. Drawing influences from Breaking Benjamin, 30 Seconds To Mars, Korn, Periphery and others, Ovtlier brings the rock and metal edge to a new height of intensity.

Inspired by everything 80’s to 90s grunge and NuMetal, Arena began playing guitar at the age of 11 on an old 3-string guitar. After achieving commercial success with his band, Young Bloods, Arena re-centered himself and began traveling 8 hours from Rochester to Cleveland in search of an identity. Playing sold-out hometown shows, touring the states and rapidly growing their fan-base among all types of music fans. Housing a hybrid sound that cross-pollinates into other sub-genres, giving a formula to freedom in songwriting and forever being able to validate surprise in their releases to come. Ovtlier is set out to deliver their most personal and intense work yet.

Phoenix dream-electronic artist FLDPLN (Andrew Saks) presents 'Escalator' single, previewing new LP

"A whole new world of electronic-based dreampop... With a perfect sense of space and symmetry, Saks’ particular sonic trajectory presents a sound unlike pretty much anything else out there on the ambient-pop-gaze music landscape" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

Phoenix-based dream-electronic artist FLDPLN presents his new single 'Escalator', previewing his full-length album by the same name. Scheduled for release on July 30, it will be available both digitally and on color vinyl via the label Sillas Famosas.

FLDPLN (“field-plan”) is the new solo project of Andrew Saks, former frontman of Southern California shoegaze band Sway ('The Millia Pink and Green' EP, 'This Was Tomorrow'). Here, he creates electronic-based dreampop that is deeply influenced by 80s pop with shoegaze-like textures and ambient aesthetic, created by layered saxophones and synths.

A mostly electronic project that generally defies genre pigeonholing, FLDPLN is an outlet for dreamy, blissfully textural songs featuring synthesizers, vocals and layered saxophones. Saks effectively captures blissful feelings, sharing them with spirits seeking a sense of nostalgia.

'Escalator' was written, produced, recorded and mixed by Andrew Saks at his home studio in Phoenix, Arizona. This follows up his 2018 album 'Let You Down' and his 2021 single 'Cashout', release in 2021.

“Escalator is really the result of my years of dabbling in electronic music production combined with my desire to reconnect with my roots, having been a saxophone player for most of my life," says Andrew Saks.

"For this album, I wanted to write songs that are true to the way I hear things in my head, dreamy, blurry, beautiful without compromise and incorporate the horn as a textural instrument as well as another melodic voice.”

A short time after Sway disbanded, Andrew (who handled half of the guitar duties in the band) decided to put down the guitar and return with resolve to his first love - the saxophone - which he has played from the age of 12.

The idea behind FLDPLN was to incorporate his love for electronic music production and early 90’s post-punk sensibilities, while allowing saxophones and synthesizers to be used to fill-in texturally, where guitars have typically been the fundamental building element of the “shoegaze” and “dream pop” sub-genres. Saxophone textures are layered, at times co-mingling with synthesizers to create a soft, warm bed of sound, the perfect backdrop for the whisper-like vocals reminiscent of Andrew’s hushed voice with Sway.

At times, Andrew’s horn playing features soaring leads that lift the dreamlike and serene to near-anthemic heights while, in other instances, they convey an emotional, whisper-like voice. While certainly nowhere near new to experimental music, the tone and texture of the saxophone in this context effectively lends itself to ethereal lullabies and reflective daydreams.

While textures and sound are an integral component of the music, Andrew does not shy away from hook-laden songwriting. This music is highly influenced by childhood memories of going to bed each night, falling asleep with Walkman headphones on and later waking up in the darkness, in a partial dream-state with the pop songs of the 1980’s - Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Bruce Springsteen, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, Debbie Gibson, Human League still whispering in his ears.

As of June 21, lead single 'Escalator' will be available everywhere across online stores, such as Apple Music, and streaming platforms like Spotify. The full 'Escalator' LP will released on July 30 and can already be pre-ordered digitally and on color vinyl via Bandcamp.

Keep up with FLDPLN

MEMORIAM Release First Trailer for New Album 'To The End' Out March 26 on Reaper Entertainment

Onwards into battle, one more time...In the two years since MEMORIAM released 'Requiem For Mankind', the band haven't rested on their laurels. Their fourth studio album, 'To The End', is due for release on March 26 via Reaper Entertainment.

Today, the band presents the first album trailer for this upcoming record. Check it out and get more info about, how Spike did join the band and about the album recordings:

The lyric video of the first digital single "Onwards Into Battle" can be seen here: https://youtu.be/goDKHYj-UFY

Karl Willetts states:

"Onwards into Battle" is the opening track from the new album "To the End". A powerful introduction that sets the tone of the album and gives the listener a taste of what is to come. Lyrically the track provides continuity from the previous album "Requiem for Mankind" and is similar in many ways to the track "Fixed Bayonets". The lyrics focus on the start of battle "Zero Hour" which is appropriate for the start of the album. Within the theme of "War" the lyrics explore the brutally of trench warfare specifically. The war continues. Let battle commence."

You can pre-order 'To The End' here: www.reapermusic.de/memoriam-end

Marking the beginning of a second trilogy of albums, To The End serves as something of a prologue to the first three MEMORIAM albums. Working backwards and narrating the life story of the leader whose demise was depicted in the first trilogy, the lyrics on the album may play out in a fictional realm, but they incorporate inspiration from real life. A central theme of war is coloured with political fulminations and everyday experiences that combine to create a cohesive and enthralling chronicle.

The four-piece returned to producer, Russ Russell, for the recording of To The End. For the first time, the band demoed the songs and entered the studio with a new level of preparedness. Coupled with their close relationship with Russell, this created an environment that allowed for greater experimentation, as demonstrated by the diverse array of textures and sounds present on the nine tracks on the album.

From the earliest days of the band, they had their eye on the art of Dan Seagrave (Benediction, Dismember, Hypocrisy, Suffocation, etc) as an accompaniment to their music. Having created the artwork for the first three MEMORIAM albums, he has also created the cover for To The End.

MEMORIAM are:

Karl Willetts | vocals (ex-BOLT THROWER)

Frank Healy | bass (ex-BENEDICTION)

Spike T Smith | drums (Sacrilege, Conflict, Killing Joke, The Damned)

Scott Fairfax | guitars (AS THE WORLD DIES, ex-BENEDICTION live)

THE DEAD DASIES KICK IT UP A GEAR AND RELEASE ‘BUSTLE AND FLOW’

After the global success of their first single, The Dead Daisies have been chomping at the bit to release ‘Bustle and Flow’, the next track from their upcoming album ‘Holy Ground’. 

“Filled with energy and vigor, ‘Bustle and Flow’ emerged as one of the last tracks to make the cut. It builds and builds and has great movement.  It’s about walking through the fear,” says Glenn Hughes.

In a time surrounded with so much uncertainty, this track imparts a spirit and zest that should get you on your front foot, challenge your fears and back onto life’s battlefield …

David Lowy has this to say about the song: “I love the timing of the riff. It’s unusual and unexpected, kinda like a surprise. The chorus is a classic mix of Aussie rock (me), UK rock (Glenn) and US rock (Doug/Deen). It’s unmistakably borne out of the DNA of The Dead Daisies, pure badass rock."

A bespoke spellbinding animation, built in Unreal Engine for ‘Bustle and Flow’ has been created by Creative Works London, (live concert graphic artists for Guns N’ Roses and Aerosmith, amongst others). It takes you on a journey through an animated ominous carnival, set against the backdrop of church ruins with a raven that’s sure to send a tingle up your spine. 

The Animated Music Experience (A.M.E) will premiere on Thursday October 1st with louder.com - UK 5PM BST, classicrock.net EU 6PM CEST and ultimateclassicrock.comUS 12PM midday EST.

‘Holy Ground’ is the first collaboration, for Glenn, Doug, Deen and David, recorded at La Fabrique Studios in the South of France with producer Ben Grosse.  Glenn’s lyrics ‘In the white chateau in the bustle and flow’, pays homage to the historic studios.  The album ‘Holy Ground’ will be released January 22, 2021.

An initiative around Record Store Day in the US will see a limited edition 12” LP Vinyl available in stores on October 30th.  For those of you not in the US, stay tuned for more details.

Eager to get on the road again, the Daisies are heading to Europe in February & March 2021 to kick off their Get Out Of The House Tour, followed by a series of dates across the UK, US, Canada, Japan, Australia, Arenas with Foreigner, Judas Priest and the prestigious European summer festivals.

Rock is Indeed Alive & Well!!!

"Get Out of the Way" Pre-save link: https://ffm.to/getoutoftheway

Canadian rock veterans Econoline Crush, fronted by Trevor Hurst along with talented members Ziggy Sigmund (guitarist, 1997-2002, 2009-present) and drummer Dayvid Swart (Todd Kerns Band), are back after recording their first full-length album in over a decade. Delivering their first single “Get Out of the Way” the rock alumni are ready to hit the stage again with an arsenal of new songs released on indie start-up Amalien Records, and fresh takes on their chart topping hits.

“We decided to re-record GET OUT OF THE WAY (2008) to launch our deal with Amalien Records. We think the song suits the times we live in, and helps amplify the voices of those trying to build a better world for everyone. It just felt like the perfect song for this moment in time" says Trevor.

Despite their absence the sound of Econoline Crush is still there, but now with a more transformed and enhanced resonance.

“There's still the industrial sound,” adds Trevor, “but it's drifted towards more classic elements of rock. We're evolving into a more organic direction. The songs are taking a lead role.”

Adaptable as well, the band is a full-on rock assault, with gritty guitars and crashing percussion, but they can also switch to acoustic, soulful rock in a moment’s notice. Entering a new era of production as well, Econoline Crush takes classic rock, industrial and electronica, and melds it to create something both unique and appealing to their legacy of fans, and new music fans of today.

Along with the release of the new album and single, diligent lead vocalist Trevor Hurst worked tirelessly on an upcoming documentary film, slated for release in 2021. Flatlander, sheds a light on what the singer has been doing in the years between live performances and songwriting. It’s an admirable journey from a man who has toured with Alice Cooper, opened for KISS at New York’s Madison Square Garden and headlined his own tours, but Trevor Hurst is now also a registered psychiatric nurse. Reconciling the pursuit of rock stardom with the desire to connect with people and make a difference, Hurst and Econoline Crush are reemerging now as a revitalized band, with a deeper sense of purpose.

On the latest efforts by the band, Hurst says “I realized what a great gift was bestowed upon us as a band and as individuals, to have this ability to make music and to entertain. I don't take this for granted. That's why everybody in the band feels this is not an opportunity to waste.”
