Get ready to rock! CIMINO release new video for Animal

June 11, 2014

  Hard rockers, CIMINO have been one of my favorite new bands. Their sound is one thing…. straight up rock n roll. No blurring of the lines of genres, no trying to reinvent the wheel, stray from their roots or any of that. This powerhouse rock band just wants to ROCK and that is exactly what I love about them. They bring such a truth into their music and along with their well crafted rock songs, you are immediately drawn in. They have just released a video for their second single, Animal which is off their amazing new album, Angels and Animals. The video was shot at Rocketbox Studios in Kansas City and directed and produced by Brad Austin. It has a raw in your face feel that highlights the honesty in this band, not a glitzy overdone Hollywood style which is overused in today’s scene. “We shot in mainly black and white for the same, raw feeling, similar to the album cover and material as a whole,” the band says. “The tune “Animal” is really up [Read More]

June 10, 2014

  The release of the debut LP by The Relapse Symphony  is less than a month away! What is awesome is that they have just released another song, Savage Eyes from their upcoming album, Shadows which is set to release on July 8th via Standby Records. We have had nothing but high praises for this amazing album. Check out our full album review here. Their first single, We Are The Broken was released and had everyone talking and begging for more! Well of course, they have answered the demand and released Savage Eyes. This track is one of my favorites off the album. It transitions from a heavy metal intro into a hard rock heavy track complete with blazing guitar riffs, amazing vocals,and infectious harmonies. You will be hooked on this one as well.  I can’t wait for the release of the album since it truly is a work of art by these young talented musicians. You can pick it up the new track here on iTunes. Check it out below and crank it up loud:   We had the [Read More]

Animus Divine premieres music video for “No Respect”

June 10, 2014

Animus Divine, an intense hybrid metal band from Arizona has just unleashed their new music video for No Respect. The track is the lead single from Animus Divine’s new album “NOVO, which was produced by From First To Last and D.R.U.G.S. guitarist Matt Good. Check out the video here:   “A stressful shoot for our first music video, at least for us director Jeremy Tremp was true professional. Our original set idea had fallen through and the staff of the band rooms where we were planning on shooting at were not being cooperative in giving us access to areas they would otherwise have given us,” said Animus Divine frontman Chuck Clark. “We ended up saying fuck it and brought all our gear out back, re-arranged some things and started shooting. The staff was less then pleased to say the least, but after a stern warning we continued. I think “No Respect” fit the situation perfectly.” The energetic fierce track takes you sonic levels of heavy metal and at the same time an essence of street core. [Read More]
