Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale says, “The last time we were castaways on ShipRocked it was a blast! I don’t know what was more fun, the epic non-stop rock shows or just being able to party one on one with all of our super fans! We out-ran a storm, Arejay gave interviews with a rubber chicken in an elevator, we handed out free drinks to anyone who wanted them, I even got lucky…playing roulette! I can’t wait to make new memories with all of you!”

If you see a guy who looks like me but is almost definitely an inflatable tube man from outside a car dealership…it’s me and I probably need more tequila (no cheap sh*t).”

“It’s the 11th voyage of ShipRocked, so naturally we are gonna crank it up one louder! SR20 promises to deliver one of the most incredible and diverse lineups we’ve ever hosted aboard, and we couldn’t be more excited for our guests to ‘Rock Hard and Vacation Harder’ with all of our performers next February!” says ShipRocked creator and producer Alan Koenig of ASK4 Entertainment. “We’re also stoked to be sailing for the first time from the Big Easy – a city which is ready made for our ShipRocker Krewe – and to throw a proper week long Carnivàle! We’ll have dat boat brimmin’ with plenty of booze, beads and beaucoup bands, ready to Laissez les bon temps Roche…Let the good times ROCK!”

Red Launches Red Entertainment
Releases “The Evening Hate” 

  • Red
    Red

GRAMMY® nominated, RIAA Certified Gold-selling rock band RED releases “The Evening Hate” June 7 on its newly formed RED ENTERTAINMENT label with distribution for the first time from The Fuel Music (Thousand Foot Krutch, Adelitas Way, Lacey Sturm) into digital and streaming outlets globally.

Along with the single’s release, major rock outlets SiriusXM Octane, hardDrive with Lou Brutus, hardDrive XL and Music Choice are already featuring the track as Loudwire breaks the new label and single news. Loudwire also premieres today “The Evening Hate” video and short film written, directed and produced by RED and starring the band at https://loudwire.com/red-new-song-evening-hate-video/.

“‘The Evening Hate’ dives into the deep-seeded hatred that everyone has felt at some point or another,” says RED bassist Randy Armstrong as the band borrows the song’s title from the nickname coined by World War I frontline trench soldiers in 1915 regarding the relentless enemy bombing. “While we all experience or witness hate throughout life, whether it be physical, mental or emotional, we all have the ability to crawl out and rise above such a tremendous adversary, hell bent on division and destruction. Without hate, the world would never know what true love really is.”

Logging over two million albums sold, two Top 10 Billboard 200 albums, three RIAA Gold certifications, 24 No. 1 songs and 2,500 concerts across 25 countries, the band, comprised of Michael Barnes (vocals), identical twin brothers Anthony (guitars) and Randy Armstrong, and longtime live drummer, now official band member, Dan Johnson, is ready to take over the creative reigns going forward with the formation of RED ENTERTAINMENT and the support of its fans.

“RED’s greatest outside strength has always been their loyal legion of fans affectionately known as the REDNATION,” says Randy. “They are the only ones who’ve shown as much heart, soul and love for this band and we wouldn’t be here without them.”

“We want the next chapter of RED to be the most-true to who we are as a band, and it’s the fans that have always kept us going,” adds Anthony. “Now with total control, fans won’t have to wait for music to come out every two to three years! We can do what we want, when we want and with whomever we want in order to make the best rock music we know how.”

“We are so grateful for your love and support and the best way we know how to say thank you is by bringing you great music for years to come,” continues Barnes. Taking the new single, “The Evening Hate” and a bevy of its No. 1 hits and fan favorites on the road, the band will soon announce a major fall tour.

All the latest RED tour, news and more can be found at www.thebandred.com, Instagram,Twitter, YouTube, Spotify and Facebook where they have nearly one million likes.

About RED: Rock band RED launched its RIAA Certified Gold album End of Silence in 2006, followed by five acclaimed albums that together amassed two million albums sold, hundreds of millions of streams, two Top 10 Active Rock singles, three Top 10 Mainstream Rock singles, 24 consecutive No. 1 hits at CRR radio and two Gold-selling singles (“Breathe Into Me,” “Already Over”).

The band has also received two GRAMMY nominations, six Dove Awards and multiple film, TV and gaming placements while being featured by Conan, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, USA Today, Rolling Stone, Guitar World and many more. The band’s touring has taken them to more than 25 countries across 2,500 concerts while their musical instrument endorsements include: Westone, PRS Guitars, Peavey.com, Mesa Boogie Amps,Line 6 and more.

Amon Amarth Launches New Video For “Mjolnir”

Amon Amarth Launches New Video For “Mjolnir”

  • Amon Amarth
    Amon Amarth

Amon Amarth released their 11th full-length, Berserker, last month to critical acclaim via Metal Blade Records (North America)/Sony Music (International), and recently concluded their North American trek with Slayer, Lamb of God, and Cannibal Corpse. Today, the band has unleashed the final clip in their trilogy of music videos for the album: “Mjolnir”

“Mjolnir” – along with the previous videos: “Raven’s Flight” and “Crack the Sky” – were directed by Roboshobo, and each one is increasingly epic in its scope, further immersing the viewer in the world of Amon Amarth. Much like the songs on Berserker, the videos present Amon Amarth to its fullest.

The cast features Josh Barnett as “the Berserker” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Barnett) and Erick Rowan as “Thor” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erick_Rowan), Tess Kielhammer as “Demon Boss” (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4178569/), Shanie Rusth as “Shield Maiden” (https://www.herexchange.net/her-story/2018/9/11/shanie-rusth), Erik Arevalo (https://www.instagram.com/theerikhammer/?hl=en), Victor Henry (https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Victor-Henry-52195), Canadian WWE legend Viktor as “Demon Henchman” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor), plus many more. 

To stream and purchase Berserker, please visit: amonamarth.lnk.to/berserker

Comprising 12 monstrous heavy metal anthems that bulge with irresistible melodic hooks, bursts of thrilling savagery and moments of spine-tingling dynamic drama, Berserker is the result of the huge surge of creativity and a collective desire to keep moving forward with no compromise.

From the disarming melodrama and explosive riffing of opener “Fafner’s Gold” and the brutish simplicity of the rampaging “Crack The Sky” to the epic fury of “Raven’s Flight” and the grim, gritty storytelling of “Ironside” and “Skoll and Hati”, Berserker is an album full of trademark Amon Amarth bluster and bite but with every aspect of the band’s sound somehow refined, sonically enhanced and made vastly more potent, both in terms of metal oomph and emotional power.

Neatly summing up the spirit behind these exhilarating new songs is the album’s semi-title track, “The Berserker At Stamford Bridge”: a visceral but vivid historical tale, recounting the Vikings last stand against the English army in 1066 and the mind-bending heroics of one axe-wielding warrior. 

Showcasing an undeniable and startling upgrade for every aspect of Amon Amarth‘s iconic sound, Berserker was recorded in Los Angeles with renowned studio guru Jay Ruston (Anthrax/Stone Sour) manning the controls. After recording several rounds of professional demos for the new songs (initially with fellow Swedish metal icon Peter Tägtgren and then later with Ruston himself) the band crossed the Atlantic to make final the recordings in LA, eager to take a fresh approach to the album-making process. 

“For me, this is Amon Amarth 2.0,” vocalist Johan Hegg declares. “I think what we’ve done here is give ourselves the space to explore other parts of our musicality and who we are as a band. If you’re content with where you’re at, what’s the point of continuing? We always want to come up with new ideas and find new ways of doing things and to create bigger and better shows and really try to improve every aspect of what the band is. We want to try to keep growing and to do this for as long as we have the possibility to do so, because this is the best fucking job in the world.”

In support of Berserker, Amon Amarth will be appearing at festivals across Europe this summer, before returning to the states this fall for a headlining run with Arch Enemy, At The Gates, and Grand Magus. See below for all dates!

Batushka Release New Song & Music Video For “Wieczernia”

Batushka Share New Song + Video For “Wieczernia”
New Album Hospodi Out July 12 Via Metal Blade Records

  • Batushka
    Batushka

Emerging from the shadows of eastern Poland back in 2015, black metal band Batushka have established themselves as one of the modern era’s most powerful and evocative bands.

Harnessing the fire and fury of arcane black metal and channeling it through the reverberant grandeur of ancient rituals of worship, the band’s debut album Litourgiya stood apart from the extreme metal hordes: a monument to originality, depth and dark mysticism that swiftly cast its spell over the metal underground and beyond.

The band will release its sophomore album Hospodi through Metal Blade Records on July 12. The album is available for pre-order here, here, or here.

Named after an Old Church Slavonic word for “God,” Hospodi enhances all the unique qualities that made the band such an instant phenomenon, while offering an entirely distinct and fresh sensory experience. The album boasts the most ferocious and bewitching songs the band has penned to date — along with a newfound sense of rock swagger.

“The whole album is a concept based on the Liturgy of Death, the prayers for the dead, and Orthodox funeral rites and dirges,” said the band. “It’s all about a ritual that involves the dead and the mourners. We also used a lot of old folk songs and elegies from our homeland. These are sung during the wake, around the casket, in the deceased person’s home. Nowadays, only a few older people know them and still sing them accordingly in our region. We decided to cherish that tradition and I’m glad that with our album these songs and rites will survive.”

Hospodi Track Listing:
“Wozglas”
“Dziewiatyj Czas”
“Wieczernia”
“Powieczerje”
“Polunosznica”
“Utrenia”
“Pierwyj Czas”
“Tretij Czas”
“Szestoj Czas”
“Liturgiya”

Crown The Empire Release “Sudden Sky” Video
Band Announces Tour With Attila, Veil Of Maya, & Gideon

  • Crown The Empire
    Crown The Empire

Crown the Empire have dropped the new video for “Sudden Sky.” Watch it here.

The band issued the following statement offering insight into the song and the video.
 

“We’re born into this world with nothing. No preconceptions. No knowledge of how we got here. No awareness of what or who we are. This is where conformity begins…

“Today, our society is being shaped by the digital revolution. Technology is growing at an exponential rate. Humans are more connected than ever before. Unlimited information is in the palm of our hands. But there’s something wrong…we’ve become emotionally disconnected. 

“Instead of confronting our problems, we numb them with drugs and technological overload. We’re addicted to social media and instant gratification. The lines between what’s real and what’s not are extremely blurred. 

“There’s a glitch in this system and we need to find a solution before it’s too late…The music video for ‘Sudden Sky’ is a visual representation of this never-ending cycle. By watching this, you are submersing yourself into our view on the current state of humanity. Thank you for listening. We hope you enjoy.”

The band previously shared the video for “what i am.” Watch + listen here. Crown the Empire also previously dropped the epic new song + video for “20/20.” Watch + listen here. 

Crown the Empire have also announced their next set of tour plans. The band will hit the road with Attila, Veil of Maya, and Gideon. VIP tickets are available now, while regular tickets go on sale here on Friday, June 7 at 10 a.m. local time. All tour dates are below.
