January 10, 2022

Platinum-selling rock band Falling In Reverse have recently shared the video for their new song ‘Zombified’. The song is a sweeping and cinematic rock anthem, full of epic riffs, kinetic, industrial nuances, and is built an incredibly catchy chorus that will take up permanent residence in your brain.

It has tallied over 3.4 million streams and landed over 67 editorial playlist adds on DSPs — including seven covers. It became the No. 1 Rock Song on iTunes and #10 on YouTube’s trending page. After three days of airplay, the song charted at #36 on the Mediabase Active Rock Chart and was the No. 1 greatest gainer of the week.

I pulled out all the stops for the ‘Zombified’ video, for the fans, YouTube reactors, and all people alike.” The song [Read More]

Weatherstate release new single ‘Headstone’

January 10, 2022

As Weatherstate approach the release of their second album ‘Never Better’, which will be out 11 February via Rude Records, the Weymouth punk band has revealed another new track from it ‘Headstone’. Showcasing a slower, more contemplative side to Weatherstate, building to that anthemic, singalong chorus complete with signature Weatherstate riffage, it’s a track about fulfilling your potential. “Headstone is about trying to make something out of ourselves in the time we have here,” says guitarist Callan Milward. “It’s okay to go through periods of life unhappy and that’s what makes the good bits all the better. The lyric “Catch me I don’t want to come down” specifically relates to friends being around when you need a safety net and how important it is to have a support network that can get you through those monotonous times. We’re only around for so long, and that’s the way it is, we shouldn’t beat ourselves up too much, and it’s completely okay to sometimes just roll with the punches.” Never Better’ is the follow-up to 2019’s ‘Born [Read More]

January 10, 2022

British experimental metal four-piece Loathe are proud to release a new single, ‘Dimorphous Display’. The single comes as a declaration for the new year, as the band is currently working on the follow-up to 2020 studio album ‘I Let It In and It Took Everything’ and 2021 ambient instrumental record ‘The Things They Believe’. In ‘Dimorphous Display’ Loathe find themselves reaching an artistic synthesis, setting themselves up for the most exciting leg of their career so far. Loathe stated: “Dimorphous Display, in its first iteration, had been in the vault for a good few years before we decided to start work on the song together as a band – so finally being able to release it into the world feels like a great accomplishment. The initial demo was filed soon after we had finished up with ‘I Let It In And It Took Everything’ but with lockdowns occurring across the world, this gave us the opportunity to experiment with different collaborators and thus final tracking was completed some time in the middle of 2021 at [Read More]

Memphis May Fire share new video for “Left For Dead”

December 17, 2021

Memphis May Fire close the year 2021 with another new song. Today the band released “Left For Dead”. It’s obvious – the quartet wants to end the year with a sonic highlight. “It’s definitely not the ‘norm’ to release such a heavy song shortly before christmas, but the truth is, there are so many people that suffer through the holidays”, Mullins explains. “Pain is an unavoidable part of human expierence and it doesn’t magically disappear at this time of year. I hope, that everyone who can identify with “Left For Dead”, feels less alone with their pain, especially in a time, where on social media you feel like you’re the only one who’s struggeling. We will donate 100% of our earnings of the “Left For Dead” t-shirt in our online merch store to Beneath the Skin, a charitable organization, which gives young women who feel alone, a real connection through peer-to peer monitoring.” Since 2021 MMF released new songs through their longtime label Rise Records. With both explosive songs “Blood & Water” and “Death Inside” [Read More]

The Rumjacks release “Bloodsoaked In Chorus”

December 10, 2021

Worldwide Celtic Punk heroes The Rumjacks have released “Bloodsoaked in Chorus”, the riotous second single off their forthcoming “Brass For Gold” EP, due out on February 11th. In the true nature of a lovesick songwriter, “Bloodsoaked in Chorus” is a ska anthem that belts out in passion. Irish instruments replace the traditional horn section with the song perfectly blending two genres.

The “Brass For Gold” EP is a clear representation of a band finding a new voice and making sure that voice is heard as [Read More]

Zero Trust share new animated video for “Clouds”

December 9, 2021

Experimental hardcore outfit Zero Trust shared their ambitious new video for recent single “Clouds”, out now on Rude Records/EVR. The band is a coalition of NJHC and NYHC talent, featuring vocalist BJ Allen (Full Scale Riot, Ghidrah, GMK) guitarists Zack Thorne (Bulldoze, Agents of Man, Skarhead) and Mike Milewski (Bulldoze, Homicidal), bassist and backing vocalist Travis Stever (Coheed and Cambria) and drummer Evan Rossiter (Full Scale Riot, Organyc). The group pushes the boundaries of hardcore, metalcore and jagged alternative rock, creating music that is intensely melodic while remaining undeniably aggressive. “Clouds” is a continuation of the bands history of emotive lyricism supported by lighting-in-a-bottle instrumentals. The song oscillates between alternative rock inspired vocals and crushingly heavy breaks that propel the song forward while creating a masterful sense of tension. The angular riffs weave in and out of the melody with caustic results – the song crescendos to an explosive peak that doesn’t sacrifice melodic beauty for heaviness (or vice versa). The official video blends animation with live shots of the band to create a compelling [Read More]
