Elliot James Reay’s new single, Boy in Love, is a remarkable blend of nostalgia and modern flair, transporting listeners straight into the golden age of music.

Photo Gallery: Hardcore Superstar, Wednesday 13 and South Of Salem live in Munich

November 21, 2024

Last week Hardcore Superstar made a stop in Munich during their EU/UK tour. Special guests on this tour were South Of Salem and Wednesday 13. South Of Salem started the show at 7 pm sharp. The venue was still filling up at that time, probably due to the fact that the show was supposed to start at 7.30 pm. Nevertheless, the people that already have been there obviously enjoyed the performance. When Wednesday 13 entered the stage a while later, the room was pretty packed. For me, they were the highlight of this evening. Since it was announced as “Wednesday 13 performing Murderdolls”, naturally most songs that night have been Murderdoll songs. People went wild, old and new ones alike. Hardcore Superstar, as final band of the night, took the stage and made it their own. They definitely rocked the place. Here are some shots from the show. Enjoy!

Architects share new single and announce new album

November 21, 2024

British Metalcore giants Architects shared their new single “Whiplash” yesterday. True to its name, the track delivers head-spinning intensity, blending heavy instrumentation with stomping rock riffs and furious screams from vocalist Sam Carter. Known for creating massive sonic landscapes, Architects once again bring a brutal, circle-pit anthem with “Whiplash”, featuring one of their catchiest choruses alongside a bone-crushing metalcore breakdown. Architects drummer Dan Searle says: “We’ve long admired director ‘Specter’ for his work with Rammstein so it was a pleasure to bring him in for this song to create something for us. His visual concept gave life to the words in a unique way that may create more questions than answers, but sometimes that’s the beauty in art. “‘Whiplash’ marks the beginning of a new era for Architects. It is a song that speaks of tribalism, of a deepening chasm that lies between human beings based simply on opinions and beliefs. It gave us the opportunity to explore these concepts in a way that we haven’t before and for the first time in a while [Read More]
