Issues Announce New Album Beautiful Oblivion

Issues Announce New Album Beautiful Oblivion
Album Out October 4 Via Rise Records

Issues, who returned to the hard rock scene with the brilliant and bold banger “Tapping Out,” are pleased to announce they will release their new album Beautiful Oblivion on October 4 via Rise Records. The album takes the band’s signature cocktail of metallic groove, hip-hop aplomb, alternative echoes, and edgy pop appeal a step further. The Atlanta band has delivered an instantly irresistible collection of anthems where singer Tyler Carter‘s nimble delivery seamlessly slips from R&B swagger into hard-hitting heaviness.

“‘Drink About It’ is something I feel everyone can relate to,” says Carter. “The song, quite frankly, is about cheater being found out by their unfortunate partner. The idea is this: ‘I think you know… you know something… how much do you know…? I’m just gonna let them sweat it out a little bit.’ But that play on words is also saying, ‘You’re all I drink about’ and at this point I wanna sweat you out of my system.”

BEAUTIFUL OBLIVION TRACK LISTING:
1. “Here’s To You”
2. “Drink About It”
3. “Find Forever”
4. “Tapping Out”
5. “Without You”
6. “Rain”
7. “Downfall”
8. “Second Best”
9. “Get It Right”
10. “Flexin”
11. “No Problem (Keep It Alive)”
12. “Your Sake”
13.” Beautiful Oblivion”

Steel Panther Release Music Video For “Always Gonna Be A Ho”

Steel Panther Releases Music Video For
“Always Gonna Be A Ho”

Band Set To Hit The Road In The Fall
in Support Of New Album Heavy Metal Rules

On the heels of the recently announced new album and headline tour, California’s greatest export and relationship experts Steel Panther are back with another music video from their upcoming album, Heavy Metal Rules.  “Always Gonna Be A Ho” is the latest song to receive the Steel Panther video treatment and is a companion video to previously released “All I Wanna Do Is F*** (Myself Tonight).”

The first video depicts vocalist Michael Starr’s journey to the wedding chapel alongside bandmates guitarist Satchel, bassist Lexxi Foxx and drummer Stix Zadinia. That video ends with Starr’s bride to be running off with bandmate Satchel. The new video for “Always Gonna Be A Ho” goes deeper in to the relationship between the bride (played by Syd Wilder) and the band. Frankie Nasso returns as the director of touching video showcasing Starr’s heartbreak at losing his bride and the end shows what happens to cause the love to go south. 

The new album Heavy Metal Rules is scheduled for release on September 27th. The Viagra loving, hard-partying foursome comprised of Michael Starr on vocals, Satchel on guitars, Lexxi Foxx on bass and Stix Zadinia have created the heavy metal version of a self-help manual and ultimate party album combined. The new album is available for pre-order in various bundle configuration here:https://lnk.to/HeavyMetalRules.

ABOUT UNDEROATH:
Underoath released Erase Me, their first album in eight years, via Fearless Records in 2018. The band notched a Grammy nomination in the Best Metal Performance category for “On My Teeth” and spent most of the year on the road in support of the album — playing countless sold-out headline shows and headlining their first-ever arena show in their Tampa hometown. Ultimately, Erase Me represents a watershed moment for the gold-selling heavy music luminaries whose inescapable influence can be felt in nearly every corner of hard rock.

The album crashed the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums Chart at #1. It sees the band refine its trend-setting but inimitable style with heavy intensity and hypnotic hooks coursing through songs, like the aforementioned “On My Teeth,” “Rapture,” “Wake Me,” and the Top 15 active rock single “ihateit,” which have cumulatively tallied over 20 million streams in a few months’ time. 

Slipknot – We Are Not Your Kind | Album Review

A video review on We Are Not Your Kind,
the sixth studio album from Slipknot.

Kaleido release deeply personal “NO RLY….I’M FINE” EP

Detroit Rock veterans Kaleido have released a new EP “NO RLY…IM FINE” – a deeply personal and emotional collection about mental health issues.  

The song was co-produced with Michael Martenson & Jake Cemer (Boys of Fall).  The band played to more than 20,000 people at the Van’s Warped Tour 25th anniversary show in Atlantic City, New Jersey on June 29th, with more dates coming soon.  

Singer Christina Chriss says of first single “Pretending“: “The only thing harder than the actual internal battle with anxiety, depression or addiction is faking a smile and pretending you’re fine on the outside. Especially after you’ve gathered the courage to speak up and someone tells you to “get over it”. I want you to know, it’s okay to not be okay; It’s okay to talk about it and it’s okay to reach out for help. Through my own struggles I wrote this song and I hope that it reaches everyone who has ever felt this way and needs to hear it: “ITS OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY SOMETIMES.”

Kaleido – comprised of Chriss, Joey Fava (drums), and Cody Morales(bass) is as authentic as they come and writes memorable songs that are highlighted in their dynamic live show, which has garnered them accolades on the live music circuit.

Kaleido are true “Road Warriors” – they average 100 lives shows per year. They’ve opened for notable bands like Seether, Halestorm, Rob Zombie and Evanescence; and they’ve been featured on the Shiprocked cruise and multiple appearances on the Warped tour.  The trials and tribulations of being Rock N’ Roll survivors in an ever-changing Music business has made them stronger and tougher, and that is reflected in their music, including 2018’s muscular single “My Enemy”, which was produced by Johnny K (3 Doors Down, Disturbed).

Detroit Media has taken notice: Kaleido was just named Outstanding Alt/Indie/Punk Artist at the 2019 Detroit Music Awards and was a featured performer on WDIV-TV (NBC) Detroit Annual Fireworks Telecast.  The band was recently featured on Detroit PBS show “Metro Arts” and CBS 62’s local music coverage.  They were named Best Band in Detroit by Real Detroit Weekly in 2013 & 2014, and won two Detroit Music Awards in 2015 for “Outstanding Rock/Pop Group” and “Outstanding Rock Recording” for their second independent EP ‘Unbreakable’. Kaleido was nominated again in 2017 for their album “Experience” and won “Outstanding Heavy Rock Group”.  

Their “Experience” album helped grow their fan base both in the US and abroad, debuting @ #11 on Soundscan Top New Artists Albums and #37 on the Top Current Rock Albums chart. The album was tapped as “New and Noteworthy” @ iTunes and Amazon Music and spawned the Active Rock charting “Die Tryin'” – which made it into the Loudwire Video “Battle Royale” Hall of Fame by remaining at #1 for 5 straight weeks.  

They just wrapped up several shows with Stitched Up Heart, and additional tour dates are being booked to start in late July with an announcement coming as dates are confirmed.

Beartooth Release “You Never Know” Live Music Video

Beartooth Release “You Never Know” Live Video
From Rock Am Ring Performance

Band Touring This Fall With A Day To Remember + I Prevail

Breakout Ohio-based hard rock band Beartooth shared a live performance video for single “You Never Know,” captured at the Rock Am Ring music festival in Germany earlier this summer.

Beartooth performed at packed concert dates in Germany during their headline tour earlier this year and returned to Nuremberg, Germany for the Rock Am Ring festival, further cementing their status as a rising and dominant force in hard rock music.

With over 80,000 copies sold, ICE NINE KILLS’ critically acclaimed fifth album The Silver Scream (via Fearless Records)–a post-metalcore masterpiece, with the catchiness and spirit of pop-punk-has marked itself into the band’s history with their first-ever Top 10 Active Mainstream Rock Radio single, “A Grave Mistake,” which peaked at #9 for over three weeks. The album also debuted on several of Billboard’s Top 10 sales charts (#4 – Hard Rock Albums, #2 – Rock Albums, #8 – Digital Albums) and has seen the band extensively touring across North America and Europe with mostly sold-out headlining shows and a successful direct support run with Falling In Reverse and New Years Day.

Lyrically and thematically focused on iconic horror movies that Charnasgrew up with (Stephen King’s ITThe CrowA Nightmare on Elm Street, etc.), The Silver Scream was partially recorded at famous filming locations of classic horror movies and includes notable horror genre figures as guests including Sam Kubrick, grandson of Stanley Kubrick, and Chelsea Talmadge (Stranger Things). The band further elaborate on this influence with their vaudevillian-esque stage show and dress as classic horror movie characters along with short skits dispersed throughout their set featuring costumed characters.

ICE NINE KILLS created their own mini-horror series that coincides with each of the album’s singles and starring Charnas, injects their own narrative into the famous movies they pay homage to. Directed by Daniel Hourihan (In Your Eyes, Manchester By The Sea) of Slow Burn Productions, watch the currently released clips below:
