A review on several albums all
suggested by patrons so I can catch up on what I should have been paying
attention to! This video covers The Sacrament Of Sin by Powerwolf, Redfog by
Orbit Culture, and Conspiracy by The Raven Age.
Special thanks to Brandon Barenfeld, Christopher
Geriak and David Lucas for their Patreon pledges and album suggestions!
Powerwolf is a German power
metal band created in 2003 by David Vogt and Benjamin Buss (stage
names Charles and Matthew Greywolf, respectively). The group is notable for
having dark themes and images, both musically and lyrically, both
counteractions to traditional power metal music and including usage of corpse
paint, gothic-tinged compositions and songs about Transylvanianwerewolf and vampire legends
and dark religious tales.
The Raven Age is an English melodic
metalcore band formed in London in 2009 by guitarists Dan Wright and
George Harris (son of Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris). In 2014 the band
recorded and released their self-titled EP before supporting Steve Harris
British Lion and Tremonti on separate tours. The band then
supported Iron Maiden on The Book of Souls World Tour in
2016. On 2 August 2016 the band announced their debut album, Darkness
Will Rise, would be released in December 2016, but it was released in March
2017. The band supported Anthrax on the Among The Kings
European Tour in 2017. Followed by supporting Killswitch
Engage and Tremonti on their tours in 2018. The band released
their second album, Conspiracy, on 8 March 2019.
Frank Iero And The Future Violents Announce West Coast Tour Dates w/ Geoffrey Rickly New Album BARRIERS To Be Released on May 31st
In addition to their upcoming album BARRIERS (out May 31, 2019), FRANK IERO AND THE FUTURE VIOLENTS have just announced a run of 13 West Coast dates, with supporting act Geoffrey Rickly (of Thursday)! Coming right off their appearance at the California Warped Tour, the West Coast leg of their headlining tour begins July 23rd at Wonder Ballroom in Portland, OR and takes them to Seattle (7.24), Salt Lake City(7.27), Denver (7.29), Austin (8.2), San Diego (8.7), Los Angeles (8.10), and more!
The band has also announced that Reggie and the Full Effect will be supporting their East Coast dates beginning on May 29th in Philadelphia. Full list of dates below.
Frank Iero’s third album, Barriers, is a rumination of sorts on life and living and the obstacles (a.k.a. “barriers”) that get in the way. Recorded and mixed by Steve Albini, Barriers is 14 songs that not only tackle the existential journey of his heart and mind, but help him redirect his musical path.
Barriers has already seen tons of love from the press, including Alt Press who described their latest single “Young and Doomed” as “Electrifying“, Loudwire who called it “Raucous“, and Kerrang who labeled the song’s video, “Brilliantly trippy“.
From the opening track “A New Day’s Coming” which sounds almost like a gospel-inspired, stirring hymnal (he explains, “I originally based it on old soul songs that I really loved, asking myself how, say, Otis Redding or different Stax recording artists would do a song like this”) to “Six Feet Down Under” – a bluesy stomp through the underworld of existence, to the epic and soaring (and sorrowful) “24k Lush,” Barriers confronts listeners with 14 tracks that explore Iero’s tumultuous internal battles from which he emerges at his most confident musically.
“Barriers is a record that I still can’t believe I made and I’m so incredibly proud of it,” Iero reflects. “I can’t wait for other people to be shocked and appalled and inspired by it. Hopefully it scares the shit out of them.”
Frank Iero and the Future Violents is Frank Iero, Evan Nestor, Matt Armstrong, Tucker Rule and Kayleigh Goldsworthy. Barriers was recorded and mixed by Steve Albini and will be released via UNFD on May 31, 2019.

Joyous Wolf is a Rock band from Southern California formed
in 2014 by vocalist Nick Reese, guitarist Blake Allard,
bassist Greg Braccio, and drummer Robert Sodaro. Reese
and Sodaro met on their first day of 6th grade during student orientation. They
went to different high schools where Sodaro would go on to befriend Braccio.
During that time Reese, by chance, met Allard in the acoustic room at Guitar
Center where they would jam CCR’s “Born on the Bayou”. There was an immediate
dynamic between the two that ultimately led to an exchange of information.
Months later Reese reached out to both Sodaro and Allard with the interest of
starting a new project with them. Braccio would soon follow suit.
In the waning months of 2014 early jam sessions would yield
the foundation of what Joyous Wolf has become. Fusing together influences
ranging from Heavy Metal to Delta Blues, Joyous Wolf creates an expressive,
high-energy fingerprint that separates themselves from their contemporaries in
the realm of Modern Rock.
The Hollywood Vampires Are Back With Rise, One Of The Most Anticipated Albums Of 2019! Album Out June 21 On Earmusic Listen To “Who’s Laughing Now” HERE
The Hollywood Vampires return with new music in the form of their explosive second album Rise. Rock ‘n’ roll royalty Joe Perry, Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp, and shock rock icon Alice Cooper join forces once again for the unmissable rock album of 2019. Rise will be released June 21 via earMUSIC. Pre-order here. Listen to “Who’s Laughing Now” here and here.
Seconds into the opening track “I Want My Now,” it’s clear this supergroup has created something special. The chemistry between the individuals is unmistakable when they come together on stage or in the recording studio. Forget the individual reputations of the star-studded lineup. Rise features some of the purest, most unapologetic, and most enjoyable rock ‘n’ roll of the year — made by masters of the craft and true fans of the form.
Unlike their 2015 debut record, the new album Rise, produced by Tommy Henriksen and the band,consists mainly of original material written by the band. However, in the spirit of the Vampires’ original mission, there are three covers of songs originally written and recorded by some fellow rockers who died far too young: an intimate and intense version of David Bowie’s “Heroes,” beautifully performed by Johnny Depp; the late Jim Carroll Band’s “People Who Died“; and Johnny Thunders’ “You Can’t Put Your Arms Around A Memory,” sung by Joe Perry.
Raucous rock anthems like “The Boogieman Surprise” and first single “Who’s Laughing Now” capture the natural, raw, and celebratory attitude that The Hollywood Vampires displayed in their rowdy shows around the world. However, the album shows off their range as well with tracks like “We Gotta Rise“— a tongue-in-cheek politics song in the tradition of Cooper’s “Elected” — to the psychedelic gothic epic of “Mr. Spider.”
“Rise is not only a totally different animal than the first Vampires album, it is unique to anything I’ve ever been a part of,” says Cooper. “I approached it very differently than I usually do when working on an album. Each of us; Joe, Johnny, Tommy, and myself have written songs on this album. What is different though is that I didn’t try to change any songs to be more ‘Alice-like.’ Because each of us has different influences, the sound of this album is very cool. I think that with this album, we are establishing what the Vampires’ sound really is, whereas with the first album, we were more tipping our hats to our fallen rock ‘n’ roll brothers.”
Perry says, “Rise came from pure creative energy, which is just like playing live with the Vampires. The record showcases everyone doing what they do best without anyone looking over our shoulders. There was no pressure or deadlines, allowing us to write and record an album that is one of the freest and most honest sounding records I’ve been part of. I can’t wait to perform some of these tunes live for our fans.”
The band is also embarking on a short tour this May. Dates are below.

Amon Amarth launches video for new single, “Crack the Sky”
On May 3rd, Amon Amarth will release their 11th full-length, Berserker, via Metal Blade Records (North America)/Sony Music (International)! For a preview of the album, the video for the new single, “Crack the Sky”, can be viewed at: http://www.amonamarth.com
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cLFdIzMhn8
Directed by Roboshobo, “Crack the Sky” is the
second of a trilogy of music videos from Berserker (the
first clip being “Raven’s Flight”) – each one 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), among
others.
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.”

Murphys are touring in support of their 11 Short Stories Of Pain
& Glory album, released through the band’s own Born & Bred
Records in 2017. The album debuted at #8 on the Billboard Top
200 and was the #1 independently released album.There’s a feeling of purpose

a charity the band established in 2009 to help support addiction recovery as
well as children’s and veterans’ organizations.
Maryland
rockers Clutch have been pushing the boundaries of heavy rock music
since the 4 original members got together in high school. Having been tagged
hard rock, blues rock, southern stoner rock and alternative metal by media and
fans across the world it is safe to say one thing…“What you see is what you
get” and what you get is a musical force that has been best described as the
quintessential American Rock Band. Clutch quickly became known
for their relentless touring schedules, playing shows from whiskey stained 2
door venues in the hills of West Virginia to the iconic Brixton Academy in the
UK, and are currently touring in support of their 12th album Book Of
Bad Decisions.
Unstoppable,
Grammy-nominated hardcore juggernaut Hatebreed remain one of the most
relevant and impactful acts in the hard rock and metal scenes. Since their
definitive debut in 1997, they’ve continued to be road warriors, touring
constantly and sharing stages with everyone from Slipknot to Slayer, while also
serving as one of the top-tier headliners on multiple festivals including
Ozzfest, Mayhem, Warped Tour, and countless others. The Connecticut band is
currently celebrating 25 years of ruthless breakdowns, pit-stirring anthems,
and poignant lyrics across eight albums and consistently sold-out shows in
2019.
In addition to the
upcoming run, Dropkick Murphys’ fall festival stops include the See.Hear.Now
Festival in Asbury Park, NJ and Louder Than Life in Louisville,
KY in September.
