June 2, 2014

Britain’s MONUMENTS is set to release their new album, The Amanuensis which is the follow up to Gnosis which came out in 2012.

Musically the group weaves in and out of themes, motifs, and professor-like note calculations with graceful ease while lyrically THE AMANUENSIScomes from a very different place. “The album is about the Samsara cycle,” reveals guitarist John Browne. “The cyclical existence of life that we are all bound to.” They have just released a new lyric video for their song, Origin of Escape and you can check it out here: The song is off of their forthcoming album, The Amanuensis which is set for a July 8th release through Century Media.

May 30, 2014

Denver heavy thrashers Havok have premiered the new video for their song Chasing the Edge which is off their third length full album on Candlelight Records, Unnatural Selection. The album was produced by guitarist David Sanchez, mixed by Terry Date (PANTERA, DEFTONES, OVERKILL) and mastered by James Murphy (TESTAMENT, DEATH, LAZARUS AD). The album features the original artwork from Polish illustrator Rafal Wechterowicz (SLAYER, MASTODON). Check out the video here: David explains about the video here: In case you couldn’t tell by the video, “Chasing the Edge” is about space exploration. This song is dedicated to Nicolaus Copernicus and his groundbreaking idea that sparked the modern scientific revolution.

The lyrics are dictated from Copernicus’ point of view, but of course, the meaning of the song can be interpreted in many different ways. Astronomy is very humbling when you realize that we are an incredibly tiny part of the cosmos. No matter how [Read More]

May 29, 2014

Love Crushed Velvet from New York City have released their new video for their song, “Lover, Leave The Lights On”. The track was originally released on Love Crushed Velvet’s compelling new EP Delusions in September, mixed by Mark Needham (Blondie, Fleetwood Mac, The Killers). Love Crushed Velvet brings to life their melodic rock track with captivating vocals. In regards to the video, lead singer/songwriter A.L.X. explains, “Lover, Leave the Lights On” is about a love triangle in which a woman would only be intimate with her husband with the lights off so she could pretend that it was her lover that she was sleeping with. The song was written from the husband’s perspective. For the video, we decided to go with the idea of the love triangle, but to take a more literal approach“. Check out the video here: We had the opportunity to talk with Love Crushed Velvet and are pleased to repost that interview here: * * * * * * Music Junkie Press: Thank you so much for taking the time out to talk with us here at Music [Read More]
