The Japanese House releases new track/video; One for sorrow, two for Joni Jones

June 7, 2023

The Japanese House has just released a new single, One for sorrow, two for Joni Jones. The stripped back track carries a depth of emotion and you can check out the live video here:   About the track: Written with MUNA’s Katie Gavin and co–produced by The Japanese House’s Amber Bain with Chloe Kraemer, “One for sorrow, two for Joni Jones” is named after Bain’s dog, who is in turn named after Joni Mitchell. As the final track on the record, the song ends with a gentle flourish of pianos and single drum hit toseamlessly bring listeners back to the start of the record creating an endless loop the way Bain intended. “This is myfavorite song, and I wrote it as a piece ages ago when I was playing the piano and [producer] Chloe would record me playing the piano loads with my dog on my lap,” saidAmber Bain. “We sat on the music for ages then Katie from MUNA came down to the studio and put the rambling lyrics over music in a Joni [Read More]

Beartooth play their biggest German headliner show in Munich

March 28, 2023

March 24th – A long-awaited tour finally happened – Beartooth came back to Munich and they brought two amazing bands along – Motionless In White and Stray From The Path. This tour was announced exactly two years ago. It should have happened in 2022, but was postponed to 2023. So it’s been a long time coming, but absolutely worth the wait. Earlier that day I got an email from Ticketmaster, that the show start was pushed back to 7.30 pm. Consider me surprised, when Stray From The Path went on stage at 7 pm sharp. Lately, it’s happening a lot, that show times are wrongly communicated. Always bad for the first band, but since it was a Friday night and all three bands already do have an established status among their fans, the venue was crowded, when Stray started their set with “Needful Things” from their latest record “Euthanasia”, which was released in 2022. They played a highly energetic set, with singer Drew Dijorio almost constantly on the move and jumping. People couldn’t help but [Read More]

Avatar back in Munich on the Dance Devil Dance tour

March 28, 2023

March 22nd Swedish Melodic Deathcore band Avatar finally made it back to Bavaria’s capitol city Munich. Like many shows this year, this was also a postponed tour. There was a venue change from the originally picked Freiheitshalle to the new Theaterfabrik in Munich. The venue itself is around the scene for ages now, but it moved in town several times. It’s now located in Johanneskirchen in a neighborhood that probably isn’t all too happy about having a live music venue close by. The inside looks pretty with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The layout of the venue tough is kinda weird, because the stage is opposite the doors on the long wall and it’s pretty small. So when you stand to the far left or right of the stage you can’t make out that much of what’s going on on stage. There’s also a balcony in the back, which gives a good view of the stage. From my perspective it was pretty hard for the bands to get the audience in high spirits, at least [Read More]

March 23, 2023

The news many have been waiting for – Australian Metalcore band The Amity Affliction announced the release of their upcoming record “Not Without My Ghosts”, which will be out May 12th via Pure Noise Records. The announcement comes with another new single “It’s Hell Down Here”. Check out the video! “This song is a a letter from myself and Ahren, written by me, to our friends who have passed on to the other side.” “I’m 41. I’m bipolar. And I’m pretty tired of it. That’s where lyrics like ‘Like a snake I tire / the cold dark clouds, they steal my light’ come from. The song is wrapping up how I feel daily, and reflecting on the time leading up to my friend killing himself. I’m sure a lot of people who have experienced that guilt at not seeing what becomes glaringly obvious after the fact.” Singer Joel Birch on the new song The new record can be pre-ordered HERE.
