Following their 40-year-anniversary tour through South America and Europe, German Thrash-Teutons DESTRUCTION strike again with their 16th studio album, Birth Of Malice, out March 7, 2024 via Napalm Records!

Band founder Schmier once again combines his dual vocal/bass attack with crashing riffs from dual battle axe masters Martin Furia and Damir Eskić, while Randy Black blasts his drums to new heights. As witnessed on their previous thrash-fest Diabolical (2022), DESTRUCTION return with their uniquely raw and brutal sound, delivering merciless songs with a touch more variety and groove this time. All twelve songs straight from the butchers hit with a direct, clean sound - resulting in addictive metal anthems for the next generation of thrashers!

With lyrics celebrating their outcast origins and unbreakable metal spirit, “Destruction” is a tribute to over 40 years of thrash dominance. Get ready for pure sonic mayhem as the Teutonic titans strike again!

DESTRUCTION on their eponymous battle hymn:

“The crushing song ‘Destruction’ is the perfect opener for this album: it builds a bridge between our old school sound and riffing, including song title phrases from classic DESTRUCTION tracks and more shredding & melodic twin lead guitars, that will pinch your brain with its razorsharp leads!

"The message ‘we are DESTRUCTION’ unites us with our fans worldwide and manifests the bond we have together!

"I see this track in the tradition of a cult song like ‘Curse the Gods’ in the way it is composed - a thrash metal rollercoaster ride galore!”

Southern California metalcore giants BLEEDING THROUGH are back! After much anticipation, the band has announced their long-awaited, ninth full length album, NINE, will be released on February 14th via SharpTone Records.

Following the release of eviscerating singles, 'Our Brand Is Chaos' and 'Dead But So Alive', BLEEDING THROUGH emerges six years after the release of Love Will Kill All, for one of the most vicious and unrelenting records of their celebrated career, NINE.

Commenting on the impending record, vocalist Brandan Schieppati says:

“There’s so much passion and aggression on this album. If you’re a fan of us, you won’t be let down. This is everything we’ve been working towards. This is the culmination of 25 years. This is Bleeding Through in its purest form.”

Today, the band reveals the album's next merciless single, 'Path Of Our Disease', which is accompanied by the music video below.

Adding about the new single, Schieppati says:

"'Path Of Our Disease' is a song about the disgusting social climate of the world. We are becoming a species that is never satisfied. We think the grass is always greener and are forgetting what loyalty is. We are being led be liars and fakes down a path of disappointment. It’s time to break free."

Finnish hard rock and metal legends LORDI are set to release their highly anticipated 19th studio album, Limited Deadition, on March 21, 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM). The album is spearheaded by the electrifying lead single, "Syntax Terror," a track that thrusts listeners into a game-like world with spacy melodies, thunderous riffs, and irresistibly catchy hooks.
 
Mr Lordi comments: "The writing of this song started out with its main keyboard riff. I played around with those mono sounds, trying to come up with something with a very 80s action movie opening score feel. 'Syntax Terror' actually almost became the album title, but then it was discovered that other people have had the same idea way before I did. On the verses I was thinking of JUDAS PRIEST, on the chorus of MANOWAR and - as icing on the cake - Udo Dirkschneider-type of screams to belch out the title. Don't ask what the lyrics are about. 'Syntax Terror' is a very 80s heavy metal style song, painting abstract pictures with every line!"

K-pop powerhouse CRAVITY has returned with their highly anticipated ‘single album’, FIND THE ORBIT, a collection of three tracks that showcase the group’s artistic growth and unyielding determination. Leading the release is the electrifying focus track “Now or Never,” accompanied by a
visually stunning music video that captures the members’ dynamic energy and thrilling new chapter. FIND THE ORBIT marks a pivotal moment in CRAVITY’s journey, symbolizing their
evolution as artists and their commitment to carving out a unique identity within the

K-pop landscape. The album draws inspiration from the concept of orbit: a path shaped by the balance of forces. CRAVITY’s nine members are like celestial bodies, navigating their own orbits while maintaining a perfect equilibrium. Through this journey of interaction and turbulence, they forge a new trajectory, representing their growth and unity. 

Co-written by members SERIM and ALLEN, “Now or Never,” embodies CRAVITY’s resolve to seize opportunities and embrace challenges head-on. With powerful guitar riffs, driving drums, and intense vocal melodies, the song is a bold declaration of their determination to rise to new heights. The music video complements the song’s high-energy vibe, portraying the members navigating their individual orbits in a suspenseful, visually arresting narrative.

““Now or Never” is about recognizing the importance of the moment and taking on
the world with confidence,” said CRAVITY. “We wanted to express our fearless approach to life and music through this track.” “Secret” is a nostalgic disco-pop anthem with a dreamy bass groove and falsetto
melodies. It explores the delicate transition from personal affection to a shared secret, creating a captivating feeling as if racing through a neon-lit city. “Horizon,” a track co-produced by member WOOBIN, captures the narrative of their recent appearance on the survival program Road to Kingdom: ACE OF ACE. The lyrics describe rising into the sky with their fans, LUVITY, in a long period of darkness. The song features a dreamy guitar riff over a drum-and-bass beat and vividly conveys the members' overwhelmed emotions.

Since their debut in 2020 under Starship Entertainment, CRAVITY has captivated fans worldwide with their innovative music and electrifying performances. FIND THE ORBIT represents a turning point in their career, showcasing their growth as individuals and as a team. With a strong foundation of domestic and international success, CRAVITY is poised to reach even greater heights as they embark on this new
chapter.

Rene Benton, along with Floodgate Entertainment Group/MTS/Virgin/Universal Music Group, will release his third album, “2 Live in O-Ma-Haw; Lyvv in Omaha,” on November 30th, 2024. The album will be available in digital, immersive audio, video, and physical formats.


"2 Live in O-Ma-Haw; Lyvv in Omaha" takes a slightly different approach to Benton’s past work, serving as a "Documusical experience" that combines music, storytelling, and local history. The album aims to capture the city’s ever evolving identity; told through the perspectives of its people and set against the backdrop of Rene’s music.
 

TRACKLISTING:


    1. Intro Of Xpression
    2. Push/Pull
    3. East Meets West
    4. Green Light Go
    5. Nation Of Struggle
    6. Inner City Blues
    7. Love is Pain
    8. Halo or The Horns
    9. Steppin' Out

The album is a unique blend of music and storytelling, offering listeners a journey through Omaha's evolving cultural landscape. Speaking about the record, Rene had this to say: “"2 Live In O-Ma-Haw, Lyvv In Omaha" is a live recording that marks a return to my home state of Nebraska after not performing in the state or the city in over three decades. The songs happen to connect with changes in the world, in the city and in society as a whole. The record is part narrative, part historical, part statistical and part music. I refer to it as a documusical experience. I am happy that some people will be willing to listen, but I would also like them to walk away learning at least a bit of something that they never thought about."

Speaking about the artwork, Rene continued: "The artwork is a depiction of Will Brown, an African American man who was lynched outside Douglas County Courthouse on September 28, 1919. Brown was being accused of rape.

Inside the burning courthouse building, pleading with the sheriff not to be released to certain death, Brown reportedly stated over and over again, “I am innocent, I never did it, my God I am innocent.” It’s unclear based on historical records if he was pushed out by other prisoners, released by guards or pulled out by the attackers, but eventually Brown was stripped naked, beaten, hanged and shot before being placed on a bonfire. Then a frightened 14-year-old boy, later a 20th-century American acting icon, Henry Fonda watched the hanging from a nearby building with his father. Remarking on the incident in a 1975 BBC interview, he said: “It was the most horrendous sight I’d ever seen. My hands were wet, there were tears in my eyes. All I could think of was that young black man dangling at the end of a rope.”

Brown’s corpse was dragged behind a car throughout the city the next morning. Nearly 2,000 members of the 26th Infantry restored order and maintained martial law to end the chaos, as well as protect the Black community in north Omaha. Without a service, graveside mourners, or even a headstone, Brown was buried in the local potter’s field with a marking that simply said “lynched”. It wasn’t until 2012 that a California donor gave him a proper headstone and grave marking. Last month, the city of Omaha unveiled a commemorative plaque outside the Douglas County courthouse to acknowledge what happened to Brown, Edward P Smith and the legacy of racial violence in Omaha from 28-29 September 1919. No one was ever tried for Brown’s death nor the attempted lynching of Mayor Smith."

With an extensive touring schedule spanning over 70 countries to date, Rene has been an in-demand guitarist, both for his solo career and as a touring musician with other notable artists. Now, with "2 Live in O-Ma-Haw; Lyvv in Omaha" Rene returns to where it all began; Omaha, Nebraska, alongside longtime friends Troy Johnson (bass), Todd Roberson (drums), and Algerian keyboardist Nidhal Keddah.

Production credits for the album include Tim Zick (Mannheim Steamroller, Dee Dee Bridgewater), Aaron Sprinkle (Demon Hunter, Kutless), Nino Laurenne (Sonata Arctica, Spinefarm Records), and Justin Passamonte. With mastering by Matthew Gray (Hillsong) and Atmos Mastering by Starsound Studios.

Rene's motivation for this album was sparked during a tour in Central America in 2019/2020, where a global shutdown left him stranded for weeks. "I don’t mind isolation," Benton recalls. "But where you’re isolated makes all the difference." Upon his return to the U.S., he took time to reflect on his next artistic endeavour, and thus "2 Live in O-Ma-Haw; Lyvv in Omaha" was born.

Rene Benton is known as a versatile guitarist whose skill and diversity have taken him around the globe. He has played alongside legendary acts, from rock icon Chubby Checker’s band members to Grammy-winning artists. Drawing from influences ranging from progressive rock to funk to country, Benton’s sound blends technical mastery with deep emotional resonance. His work has been featured in leading music and guitar publications, including Top Guitar (Poland), Dark City (Russia), Guitar Club (Italy), and Total Guitar (UK) among others.

Breaking a fifteen-year silence, this legendary group resurfaces with a vengeance, poised to captivate listeners and reignite passion with their signature blend of thunderous riffs and uncompromising intensity.

Adding to the excitement of this monumental release is the return of original bassist Eric Tavares. Vocalist J. Costa states:

“Our previous bass player, Chris Cote, had reached out to Eric to fill-in for him this past Summer for some shows, and subsequently has things he’s taking care of in life.” Costa continues, “It was an amicable decision to move forward with Eric as our bassist. The first rehearsal reaffirmed the deep connection and synergy that has always been at the heart of this band. We love Cote, he crushed it on this album; he’s Family; and we always wish our Family the best!”

With 'Pillar Of Fire', the band is not only resurrecting their iconic sound but also redefining their legacy with an album that is both a celebration of their past and a bold step into the future.

Grammy-nominated metalcore pioneers AS I LAY DYING recently sparked a career-defining return to the scene, driven by the release of their upcoming eighth full-length studio album, 'Through Storms Ahead', out November 15, 2024 via Napalm Records. Poised to be one of the most highly-anticipated metal comebacks in years, the audacious new album features the critically-acclaimed new tracks "Burden", "The Cave We Fear To Enter", and the recently revealed "We Are The Dead" featuring guest vocalists Alex Terrible (Slaughter to Prevail) and Tom Barber (Chelsea Grin, Darko),

Today, a fourth new single arrives - the ominous metalcore anthem "Whitewashed Tomb" - alongside a brand new music video. The track bleeds in with a cinematic underscore before its potent vocal lines, hair-raising, rhythmic guitar leads and reverberating electronic atmosphere takes over.

Frontman Tim Lambesis says about the track and video: "'Whitewashed Tomb' represents a balance between the melody and aggression that AILD is known for with an interesting modern twist from the way that Phil and Hiram produced it. When Phil wrote the original demo, I could instantly appreciate the classic melodic-metal influences in the guitar melodies contrasted with an underlying darker theme. So, lyrically it seemed fitting for me to focus on the metaphor of a whitewashed tomb. It is something clean and beautiful at a first glance until the darker hidden side is revealed. I also love what Ryan Neff added to solidify that sense of contrast vocally, as well."

California quintet THROWN INTO EXILE — Evan Seidlitz, vocals; Mario Rubio, guitar; Austin Monzon, lead guitar; Javi Quinto, bass; and Tom Tierney, drums — are pleased to announce their new EP, Passageways. It arrives on November 15. Pre-save the five-track EP HERE.  Today, the band has shared the video for first single "DESOLATION."

The song premiered on Chaos Hour, the show hosted by Trivium's Matthew K. Heafy, on SiriusXM's Liquid Metal earlier this week, as well.

It's a modern and thunderous anthem, packed with riffs and heavy artillery percussion that will have you banging your head so hard, you will burst blood vessels in the back of your beck.

 "'Desolation' is about the feeling you get inside when you unexpectedly lose someone close," says Seidlitz. "It's about feeling mentally desolate, empty, isolated, angry, and alone."

About the EP itself, Rubio comments, "The Passageways EP is heavy in more ways than musically. It deals with grief, loss, and the process that comes with it. At first, we wanted to do standalone singles, but these songs capture a certain state of mind as a band, so we decided to release it as a five-track EP."

Modern progressive leaders JINJER have announced their powerful, long-awaited fifth studio album, 'Duél,' set to be released on February 7, 2025' via Napalm Records!

Technical grooves and heavy progressive passages, brutally clear vocals, and skillful growls by matchless vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk have garnered the Ukrainian outfit millions of cross-platform streams and views worldwide, as well as revered renown with fans and critics alike. JINJER has traversed glorious paths of tireless touring and extremely successful album releases, including their most recent chart-topping studio album, 2021’s 'Wallflowers'. 'Duél' showcases the band at the very top of their game and marks yet another matchless milestone in the world of modern metal!

After releasing their breathtaking single and video “Someone's Daughter”, followed by the heavy-hitting single “Rogue” earlier this year, JINJER now unleash another untamed beast with their new track “Kafka." Dominated by Tatiana’s remarkably clear vocals, “Kafka” is a heavy and slow tamper, digging deep under one's skin just to break right through with venomous growls in the end.

Tatiana Shmayluk on “Kafka”: “Being an artist is sometimes beautiful but most of the time it’s brutal… as our art is dissected word for word and ripped apart note by note, we‘re expected to be on point all-the-time … and when we aren’t, we are scandalized. A true artist is vulnerable but the crowd is most often plagued with vultures who pick at every single move you make. It’s a slippery slope when music means the world to us but how quickly praise turns into prosecution… We are all Kings and Queens for a day but most of the time it feels like a Kafka novel for a lifetime. It‘s exciting but surreal and absurd at the same time …”
