June 29, 2021

Grammy Award nominated progressive metallers Between The Buried And Me have announced their highly anticipated new album, ‘Colors II’. The album will be released on Friday, August 20th via Sumerian Records with pre-orders available now from http://betweentheburiedandme.com. To celebrate the announcement, Between The Buried And Me have dropped the first single “Fix The Error”. The track premiered on SiriusXM’s Liquid Metal and features drum solos from an ironclad trifecta of Mike Portnoy, Navene Koperweis, and Ken Schalk. Find “Fix The Error” on streaming platforms here. Between The Buried and Me built their influential 2007 album, “Colors”, on an unwavering commitment to artistic integrity. They’ve only fortified that commitment on its 2021 sequel, “Colors II”. The circumstances surrounding both records bear key similarities, yet the North Carolina quintet—Tommy Rogers [lead vocals, keyboards], Paul Waggoner [lead and rhythm guitar, backing and lead vocals], Dustie Waring [rhythm and lead guitar], Blake Richardson [drums], and Dan Briggs [bass, keyboards]— once again stretch the boundaries of their signature sound and heavy music at large. “Especially with 2020, we really wanted [Read More]

June 29, 2021

Lil Lotus released his new single “Think Of Me Tonight” through Epitaph today, an explosive pop-punk song – produced by John Feldmann, who already worked with All Time Low, Good Charlotte, Panic! At The Disco and Black Veil Brides. “Think Of Me Tonight” is the opener of Lil Lotus upcoming debut record “Error Boy”, which will be released August 20th through Epitaph. The music video was produced by Pix3lface (PARTYNEXTDOOR, Mike Shinoda, Fever 333, Travis Barker). Lil Lotus comments: “’Think of Me Tonight’ is one of my favorite songs on the album. It’s funny though because it came together in about an hour. Feldmann probably worked on the track for 30 minutes, then he asked if I had anything for it. I said no, but he still told me to get in there. I did and the song came together in another 30 minutes. He said it was the fastest a song ever came together, but it turned out to be one of the sickest ones.” ERRØR BØY TRACK LISTING 1. Think of Me Tonight [Read More]

Blood Youth return with new single

June 29, 2021

Modern metallers Blood Youth have returned with a huge new single, “Iron Lung”, which was premiered last night on the BBC Radio 1 Rock Show with Daniel P. Carter. It’s equally brutal as it is emotive, and signals a new era for the band. Vocalist Kaya Tarsus explains the song’s meaning: “We wrote Iron Lung just before the impacts of the pandemic swept across the globe, and looking back it couldn’t have been more fitting if we tried. The song centres around having someone or something to get us through each day; “Will you breathe for me? Will you bleed for me?” We all have our own shit going on in life, and at the end of the day you’re the only person that can help yourself through it. In the video, we see this masked figure, living in his own hell and doing what he can to survive. He creates something to worship and hold on to through the darkest times”.

Wars release brand new single “Grief, They Named It”

June 18, 2021

Wars have released a video for their brand new single “Grief, They Named It”. The track is the first song to be taken from “Chapter Four”, the final installment of new music from their upcoming album A “Hundred Shivers” out November 26th via A Wolf At Your Door. From passionate and pained verses to beautiful yet biting choruses, “Grief, They Named It” is an evocative post-hardcore tale that touches on the many facets of loss. Accompanied by a warm and kaleidoscopic video, the track serves as a poignant reminder that no matter how hard grief can be, there is always a way through the pain. Vocalist Rob Vicars shares: “’Grief, They Named It’ is about reaching a point in your life where everything has changed, and where we’ll go next, we don’t know. We experience grief in so many different ways, it permeates our emotions whenever there’s significant change or loss, and this song talks about sort of submerging yourself in that and, eventually, coming out of the other side. It’s a song we wrote [Read More]
