August 24, 2023

3TEETH are set to release their first full length album in four years. Their album EndEx is set for a September 22nd release via Century Media Records. They have just released a new single along with an animated video for their song Higher than Death. Check out the track here: Album News EndEx features the handiwork of a solid extended team including the accomplished sound designer Mick Gordon (best known for his work on the gaming phenomenon DOOM) who produced several of the tracks along with producer Nick Rowe and mixer Sean Beavan (NIN), bringing in another dimension to the band’s unmistakable sound. Early singles have included noisemaker “Paralyze” (featuring Ho99o9); the gripping sonic salvo, “Merchant of the Void,” that touches on the bleak landscape of modern society amid A.I. takeovers and economic collapse; “Slum Planet,” taking aim at the ills of a sick planet obsessed with over-consumption at all costs; Scorpion,” a track in which the band’s instrumental arsenal is tempered by alluring female vocal chants that provide an ambient feel; and the stripped-back single “Drift,” paired with a video showing the band at work in the studio.

Bay Area instrumental rock band Wander perform at The Independent

June 21, 2023

Tuesday night in San Francisco had us at The Indendent and it was quite a night of 3 spectacular sets!  The Dirty Nil were performing with Daniel Romano’s Outfit.  Kicking the night off was local Bay Area instrumental rock band Wander. Being an avid devotee of lyrics and vocalists, I didn’t know what to expect with an instrumental band. What a great surprise Wander turned out to be!  These guys can truly rock! They delivered a mesmerizing blend of progressive, heavy shredding rock with streaks of shoegaze and 90’s vibes.  Combined it was a winning combination that had me glued to their set. Their stage presence was full of energy and had the crowd cheering after each song. I was hooked and have now added them to some of my favorite newly discovered bands. Check out some photos of their set by our Rockin Ryan: To get a glimpse into the night, you can watch a video here from their San Francisco show:   In addition, we picked up some cool merch including a cool [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]

Bloodywood release their heaviest song yet – “Dana Dan”

February 19, 2022

Put down your morning coffee, New-Delhi arena metallers Bloodywood are about to kick so hard they fire you into the weekend. To celebrate the release of their debut album “Rakshak” (out now!), the band is elated to present the music video for their heaviest song ever, “Dana Dan”. “Dana Dan” begins with the thudding of the South Indian “Nagada” drums before the razor-sharp rapping of Raoul Kerr comes in then gives way to the ferociousness of vocalist Jayant Bhadula. Here the entire band is firing on 11 to produce their most sonically thrilling track yet. There are going to be some crazy pits when the band plays this one live… Speaking about the new single, Bloodywood say: “‘Dana Dan’ is a graphic commentary on sexual assault and the need to eliminate it. It begins with the reflexive, almost homicidal rage we feel when we hear about these crimes, before moving on to a more level headed call to arms. It culminates in a gentle appeal for all of us to reflect on the role we [Read More]

Diablo release new song & video “The Stranger” from their upcoming new record

January 28, 2022

One of the biggest names in the Finnish metal scene, the masters of outlaw metal Diablo, have released their brand new single “The Stranger”, the latest sample of their long-awaited seventh album “When All The Rivers Are Silent” due out on February 25th, 2022. Vocalist Rainer Nygård shares “The Stranger is autofiction from the edge. I got an impulse to write the lyrics due to early departure of one of my colleagues. I guess everyone of us has a secret or two inside our hearts which we cherish. Most of the times harmfully. Addiction is a friend who can easily take you as a hostage and blur the line between role and reality. There is no business like show business and I’m aware of that too”. “The Stranger” was preceded by singles “Grace Under Pressure” and “The Extinctionist”, which will also be on the upcoming record. “When All The Rivers Are Silent” is now available to pre-order, ahead of its release on February 25th. Diablo albums are known to be carefully handcrafted, and WATRAS makes [Read More]
