This follows the release of the album’s title track “Fragments of a Bitter Memory.” On the new single, lead vocalist Emma Boster shares, “‘Mourning’ is written about a family friend who passed away tragically in a plane crash last year. We were in the studio writing the record when my cousin called me with the news. I spent the rest of the night on the phone with my family in absolute shock over the passing of such a kind, bright, and loving young man. “My friend’s death happened just a few [Read More]

Dying Wish is the Portland-based blistering hardcore five-piece whose passionate music fuses New Wave of American Heavy Metal and chaos-driven punk noises. Late last year, they signed to SharpTone Records and today, have announced the release of their forthcoming record, “Fragments of a Bitter Memory” which will be released on October 1, 2021 via their new label home. Pre-orders are available now here. To celebrate the announcement, Dying Wish has released the record’s title track “Fragments of a Bitter Memory”. On the deeply personal new single, lead vocalist Emma Boster shares: “‘Fragments’ starts by taking the listener back to my first memory. I was five years old and I was the flower girl at my mother’s wedding. My biological father wasn’t in my life and the man she was marrying took a vow to fill that void. Over the next decade I watched that same man who I had learned to call my father become a violent alcoholic. By the time I was a young teen I was being verbally and physically abused by him [Read More]

Lionheart bring summer festival feeling into your home with the release of their live record

November 6, 2020

  Bay Area’s (CA) reigning kings of heavy hardcore first stormed into the scene in 2007 with their debut album: »The Will To Survive«. Taking influence from bands like BLOOD FOR BLOOD, HATEBREED, and MADBALL; LIONHEART came out swinging with a full-blown assault of blistering metallic hardcore. They quickly followed it up with 2010’s »Built On Struggle«, 2012’s »Undisputed« and years of nonstop touring. Following a short break after their release »Undisputed«, the band came back stronger than ever with 2014’s »Welcome To The Westcoast«. The album debuted at #1 on both iTunes Metal and GooglePlay Metal Charts. LIONHEART stormed into the scene again in January 2016 with »Love Don’t Live here«. The album title, a nod to a classic R&B/ Motown song by the same name, shows the bands unwillingness to conform to the typical „hardcore mold“, as well as the bitter and unforgiving lyrical content the band is known for. November 2017 saw Lionheart unleash »Welcome To The Westcoast II«. A sequel to »Welcome To The Westcoast« (2014), the album brought forth a [Read More]

October 23, 2020

After the chart success of their current album ‘Valley Of Death’, Californias Metalcore legends Lionheart, announce the release of a live record. The album will be released November 6th. It was recorded during their live performance at Summerbreeze 2019. Lionheart also released a new live video for ‘LHHC’.

From my own experiences I can assure you, it’s one of the most fun bands to watch live. The energy and fun they bring to the stage are carried right over to the audience. The current video is the third one from that Summerbreeze show. Check out ‘LHHC’, ‘Lock Jaw’ and ‘Still Bitter Still Cold’: You can pre-order the record and special bundles at https://lionheartca.lnk.to/liveatsummerbreeze. »Live At Summer Breeze« tracklist: 01.

Lionheart record release show in Munich – SOLD OUT!

December 10, 2019

Lionheart released their latest record ‘Valley Of Death’ on November 15th, 2019. That very same day the Lionheart tour made a stop in Munich. They brought along Deez Nutz, Kublai Kahn, Obey The Brave and Fallbrawl. In good old Lionheart fashion they tore down the place (in a good way). Lionheart and Deez Nuts both come here once a year at least. Every time the shows are packed and the place is cooking. Both bands connect well with the audience. The dynamics were mind-blowing. Especially venues of that size, where the stage isn’t that big and the pit isn’t that wide, give the audience the feeling of being close to the show and being part of it. Constant mosh pits, circle pits and stage divers kept the security guys pretty busy. But that’s what makes those shows special and makes people come back. Everyone is out to have a good time and with the line-up that night, they surely weren’t disappointed. Fallbrawl Obey The Brave Kublai Kahn Deez Nuts Lionheart Lionheart have been added to [Read More]

This year’s lineup was Great American Ghost Alpha Wolf Our Hollow Our Home Polar King 810 In Hearst Wake Crystal Lake The show started at 5.30 pm. The first five bands played approx. 30 minutes. Between sets there was a 15 minutes brake to set the stage new. The last three bands played around 45 minutes. The schedule was pretty tight. Kudos to the stage crews for working hard to keep that schedule. Boston based hardcore quartet Great American Ghost kicked off the show. A few days ago, the band released a new track ‘Prison Of Hate’ from their upcoming record ‘Power Through Terror’, which will be out February 14th, 2020.
