Wolves At The Gate share new video for “Peace That Starts The War”

February 28, 2022

Wolves At The Gate have announced their fifth album “Eulogies”. It arrives on March 11th via Solid State Records. Today, the band has shared the video for the new song “Peace That Starts the War”. “Most of my life was spent battling these inner struggles in a way that caused me to gain no ground against them” says singer/guitarist Steve Cobucci about the song’s lyrical heft. “I felt that they were totally my burden to bear alone — invisible to all that were around me, yet overwhelming to me in the confines of my mind. It wasn’t until I learned to rest in the peace that I could begin to start the war against all the darkness within me”. Regarding the development of the song, he shares the unique way it came together over time, saying: “Writing this song was a blast. Joey got the ball rolling when he dropped the main intro riff into our Dropbox. I built the rest of the song from there. We all got together in Columbus for a writing [Read More]

Puppy release new single “Shame”

February 28, 2022

London three-piece PUPPY has today released their incredible and introspective brand new single ‘Shame’ through Rude Records. Following on from both ‘The Kiss’ (currently zooming past 100,000 streams on Spotify) and the Brooklyn Vegan approved ‘…And Watched it Glow’, ‘Shame’ shows a different side to PUPPY, with its somber and spooky tone. ” ‘Shame’ is possibly our favorite song on the album (although they’re all stone-cold rippers). It marks a big step forward for us creatively in our minds because you’ve still got all the hallmarks of our “sound” (sweet harmony guitars, sad boi lyrics), but set against these big snappy grooves between the drums and bass. We wanted you to be able to blast it out your low rider with the windows down whilst analyzing your life choices and maybe crying a bit.” – PUPPY The band has also today launched their pre-orders for the forthcoming ‘Pure Evil’ album. Due on May 6th, pre-orders launched today include very limited vinyl runs, CD, cassette tape, album merch, and a PUPPY ‘Pure Evil’ candle. “We are [Read More]

Ceramic Animal share new song “Valerie” – new album out March 4th!

February 28, 2022

Ceramic Animal have released a new single, “Valerie”, along with an accompanying music video directed by Perry Shall and Bob Sweeney. The single is the last release before her new album “Sweet Unknown”, which will be released on March 4th. ‘Valerie’ is an ode to rock ‘n’ roll and its classic stereotypes. The instrumentation contrasts with the somber lyrics, which tell of the rise and fall of a mysterious muse, Valerie. The underlying themes show how someone seems to have everything, but everyone struggles in ways that aren’t always obvious,” says Ceramic Animal singer Chris Regan. The music video consists of a series of vignettes that could have come straight out of the MTV hairband era. The previous single “Tangled” was accompanied by a music video directed by Andy Hawkes. “‘Tangled’ is about falling in love with someone, but life separates you. The distance makes it harder to trust the person that means so much to you…but that separation can create a stronger bond because you have to work harder to keep the relationship alive,” [Read More]

Diablo – new record “When All The Rivers Are Silent” out NOW

February 26, 2022

One of the biggest names in the Finnish metal scene, the masters of outlaw metal DIABLO release their long-awaited seventh album “When All The Rivers Are Silent”. It is available to stream on all platforms. To accompany the new album release, DIABLO are also unleashing the video for standout track “Titan”. “Titan” was a song that took a while to iron out, until the right words came along. Vocalist Rainer Nygård shares “Despite Titan’s heavy topic about crushing social pressure, I have to say it is quite catchy little song. At first it was quite difficult to find the right angle for the chorus, but after hearing the phrase “to breathe underwater” somewhere I was sure I wanted to share the song with a friend of mine Suvi Karjula. Afterwards it’s easy to say that my decision was right.” Diablo albums are known to be carefully handcrafted, and WATRAS makes no exception. The leading duo of the band, Rainer Nygård (vocals & guitar) and Marko Utriainen (guitar), have written an intense collection of songs that [Read More]

Ithaca release new video for “They Fear US”

February 26, 2022

Acclaimed UK metallic hardcore troupe Ithaca have released their stunning new video for the single ‘They Fear Us’, the first glimpse of their long-awaited second album, They Fear Us, due 29th July via Hassle Records. In the words of Ithaca: “Making this video was one of the hardest but most creatively fulfilling things we’ve ever done as a band. We shot in multiple locations over multiple days, we stripped down to our underwear, we swallowed fake blood – we put everything into it! “The video is about reclaiming power – our main location was in a stately home of the British landed gentry, to create a contrast between us and the colonial imagery on the walls, representing us kicking down doors and taking up space. The visuals are influenced by experimental cinema, religious iconography and pre-Raphaelite paintings. We set this level of ambition to announce ourselves as an unapologetic, inescapable force in the heavy music scene – you will fear us.” Ithaca are one of the most exciting and vital voices in the UK [Read More]
