Earlier this week, NOTHING MORE wrapped up their co-headlining spring tour with Wage War which sold out various shows. The late summer “Carnal” tour will kick off in the U.S. on August 31 in Columbia, MO and stretch to September 24 in Cleveland, OH.

“If the tour we just finished is any indication of what’s to come, this is going to be the best NOTHING MORE tour yet,” says NOTHING MORE frontman JONNY HAWKINS. “The CARNAL TOUR will be a chain reaction of energetic release across the U.S. We’re bringing out Set It Off, From Ashes To New, and our good friends Post Profit. Don’t miss this one. Your future self will thank you.”

“I had the pleasure of meeting the guys in Nothing More at a show of theirs in Nashville recently, and they are just the kindest guys,” says SET IT OFF vocalist CODY CARSON. “But on top of that, what impresses me is their relentless work ethic and their incredible talent on stage. We hit it off right away, and we are very excited to hit the road with them! The whole tour package is extremely talented and really cares about their live show so these cities are in for a hell of a night!”

“It’s been a long time coming and we’re excited to finally be hitting the road with our labelmates in Nothing More,” states FROM ASHES TO NEW vocalist DANNY CASE. “The whole lineup is huge and we’re looking forward to sharing the stage with them and Set It Off as well.”

Mortal Reminder’s debut album now available

By
Michael Reitemeier
-

Mortal Reminder, a metalcore group just making their debut now in 2024, has released their debut self-titled album as of now.

It’s almost impossible to track all the newcomers in the metal scene, as the genre is in something of a boom period now. To truly stand out, you need to have a catchy/unique take on the genre that listeners can’t find somewhere else. Mortal Reminder turned a lot of heads in their debut at the start of this year with singles “Stand Aside” and “Suffer to Love” truly captivating tastemakers and newcomers alike. Combining members of Sirens & Sailors, Deadculture, and Degrader, it’s a melting pot of ghost snare notes, syncopated guitar lines, and in-your-face vocal attacks across the self-titled record. Mixed and mastered by Scott Seigel (Woe, is Me, Darknet), the monstrous sound is bassy, punchy, and just downright vicious at points.

Accompanied by a captivating black-and-white music video, Mortal Reminder’s single “Stand Aside” features lophiile (ex-Issues) on the turntables who would seem out of place if it weren’t such a seamless bridge within the heaviness. Doug Court, Nick Lord, and Nick Smith coming together for this album embodies the phrase “supergroup” as there’s no lull on Mortal Reminder – just a bevy of riffs, breakdowns, and screams. This is evident outside of the singles, with “Love to Suffer” seguing the controlled chaos and the ending of closer “Last Whisper” being so catastrophically gargantuan that it led to the album’s release on Spotify being delayed due to file corruption.

Reminding me why I fell in love with the genre, Mortal Reminder’s 30-minute offering is chock full of the good stuff and lax on the filler. It’s a record that doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but doesn’t have to – just a solid come-up and a debut that deserves more ears after the launch hiccup on Spotify. Keep an eye on Mortal Reminder as this is just the beginning.

WAGE WAR Share “Tombstone” From Upcoming Album Stigma

By
Luke Spencer
-

WAGE WAR — Briton Bond [lead vocals], Cody Quistad [rhythm guitar, clean vocals], Seth Blake [lead guitar], Chris Gaylord [bass], and Stephen Kluesener [drums] — have entered their world domination era. Last month, the Florida band has announced its fifth album STIGMA, which arrives digitally on June 21 via Fearless Records, while the physical version will land in stores on September 6. Pre-order it here.

Today, the band has shared “TOMBSTONE.” Listen here.

The band has also dropped the visualizer. Watch it here. 



“Metal riffs meet country western tropes in our new track ‘TOMBSTONE,'” the band explains. “A final showdown with an enemy.  One fight. Two dogs unleashed.”

From its ominous, tension-building opening seconds through the deadly breakdowns, Wage War go hard on “TOMBSTONE.” It’s got vocals that sound like screamer Briton Bond gargled with a razor blade cocktail, thick and groovy riffs that’’ll have you nodding your head, and battering ram percussion. “TOMBSTONE” finds Wage War, unleashing a hellacious anthem that brings the heavy artillery from start to stomp to finish.

STIGMA TRACK LISTING:
“THE SHOW’S ABOUT TO START”
“SELF SACRIFICE”
“MAGNETIC“
“NAIL5“
“BLUR”
“TOMBSTONE”
“HAPPY HUNTING”
“HELLBENT”
“IN MY BLOOD” 
“IS THIS HOW IT ENDS?”



ABOUT WAGE WAR:
Traveling a constant forward trajectory at lightspeed, Wage War not only push their own sound forward, but they also propel heavy music into new territory. The Florida quintethave always tempered a pummeling metallic onslaught with unshakable melodies. A near-decade grind naturally brought Wage War to this point. They have unleashed a string of fan favorite albums, including Blueprints [2015], Deadweight [2017], Pressure [2019], and Manic [2021]. Beyond looks from SPIN, Modern Drummer, American Songwriter, Revolver, Guitar World,and more, KERRANG! hailed the latter as “their greatest album yet,” and DORK raved, “It’s an embracing of being metalheads, popheads and just fans of good songs. On more than one occasion, there’s an earworm poking its head up through the dirt.” They also put up numbers, tallying hundreds of millions of streams boosted by the likes of “Stitch,” “Low,” “Manic,” and “Circle The Drain.” On their fifth full-length offering STIGMA [Fearless Records], Wage War outfit their signature style with industrial grit and electronic sheen, leveling up into the future in the process with singles such as “MAGNETIC” and “NAIL5.”

The Amity Affliction Celebrate 10 Years of “Let The Ocean Take Me” Live

The Amity Affliction


It’s one thing to celebrate the anniversary of an album that put a band on the map, but it’s another to do it on a tour with filled venues and fans singing along to the lyrics that made your music memorable. The Amity Affliction are living that experience while performing Let The Ocean Take Me live on tour.

Seeing The National filled was a pleasant sight as most of the venue was ready as soon as Mugshot took stage. The tour also supported by Currents and Dying Wish, this was a heavy night with strong support for the headliner. Halfway through The Amity Affliction’s set, singer Joel Birch asked the crowd, “Do you still have gas in the tank, Richmond?” It was that continued motion and amplification that proved this wasn’t just a band going through the motions to sell 10 year anniversary merch. The full setlist made sure the audience relived the glory days of Let The Ocean Take Me while also performing recent hits. The night was a look back at everything The Amity Affliction has accomplished up to 2024.

As said in the short below, I’m glad I went to this tour. From top to bottom this was a good night with a good crowd. I’m happy that heavy music is still getting audiences for bands both wanting nostalgia as well as something new.

KITTIE Announce Long-Awaited Album ‘FIRE’

By
Ana Santos
-

The original Queens of Metal, Kittie have finally announced their highly-anticipated and long-awaited new studio album, ‘Fire‘ today. The upcoming release is the band’s first full-length in over 13 years and is set for release on Friday, June 21st via Sumerian Records. Heralding the exciting news is the release of brand new single “Vultures” and its accompanying music video featuring live footage of the band’s main stage performance at this year’s Sick New World festival in Las Vegas on April 27th. Pre-orders for the album are available now HERE. Stream “Vultures” HERE and watch the music video HERE or by clicking the image below.

Speaking on today’s album announcement and their latest single, Kittie vocalist/guitarist, Morgan Lander shares

“10 years ago, if someone would have told us that we would be releasing new Kittie music in 2024, we’d have dismissed them right away. It feels like something deeper than fate that’s brought us together again, allowing us to create something fearless and magical for you. We’ve worked incredibly hard over the past year, and surrounded ourselves with the ultimate dream team to make this album a reality. We cannot wait for you to lose yourselves in the passion and strength of ‘Fire’.”

“Vultures is a bold musical declaration, signalling our new beginnings as a band. Vultures is a warning to those with hidden agendas, who thrive on deception. It’s a proclamation of breaking free of the chains of exploitation and a reckoning for those who pick at the bones of those who suffer in silence.”

The new album, ‘Fire‘, is available to pre-order now with a variety of merch bundles including exclusive vinyl colorways, t-shirts, a cassette tape, a sticker pack, guitar pick pack, laminate and two metal lunch box designs. Available bundles are as follows (each comes with a digital download of the album):

Fire CD Pack – T-Shirt & CD
Fire Vinyl Pack – T-Shirt & Vinyl
Fire Collector’s Pack – T-Shirt, Lunchbox, CD, Cassette, Sticker Pack, Laminate
Fire Ultimate Pack – T-Shirt, Lunchbox, Cassette, Guitar Pick Pack, Laminate, Sticker Pack, Vinyl.

Pre-orders are available now from SumerianMerch.com

Kittie sent the internet ablaze earlier this year when they announced their return with brand new music, in the form of blistering single, “Eyes Wide Open“. They followed up with a second new single, “We Are Shadows” and the announcement of a very special run of exclusive headline shows across the US and Canada last month, topped off with an incendiary live performance at Sick New World festival in Las Vegas.

The long-awaited headline shows will see the band perform in 5 cities across the US and Canada this July and August, giving fans a very special and rare chance to see the band play a full headline set that will include their new material as well as classic hits and some deep cuts not played live since the band’s early days.

Knocked Loose – You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To | Album Review

Knocked Loose You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To

Just under 28 minutes of vicious, heavy, chaotic hardcore that will absolutely blow out your car speakers. You Won’t Go is as fierce and angry as you’d imagine. The guitar riffs and great drumming carry each song. Bryan Garris is unhinged at moments and to most Knocked Loose fans, that’s exactly what they want. The collaborations with Poppy and Chris Motionless also lead to strong moments in the short run time. The big problem with the album is the mixing and production. It goes past a wall of sound and has audio clipping in several tracks. Imagine that much force with Garris shrieking his head off, and you have several moments on You Won’t Go that make you have to pause and shake it off. Does it hit hard? Yes. Is it hard to listen to? At times, also yes. The production choices hold back the listener from enjoying some of this. Fun album with music that I’m sure will hit like a truck live. Just don’t play it full blast in your ear buds for fear of going deaf. 7/10

“Knocked Loose‘s highly anticipated third album “You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To” is a relentless and uncompromising tour de force that cements their status as one of the most vital and exhilarating bands in modern hardcore. The album is a visceral, 27-minute onslaught of blistering riffs, pummeling breakdowns, and Bryan Garris’ guttural vocals that hit with the force of a wrecking ball. 

Pushing Boundaries 

While staying true to their punishing metalcore roots, Knocked Loose pushes their sound to new heights of intensity and experimentation on this record. Songs like the industrial-tinged “Slaughterhouse 2” featuring Chris Motionless and the dissonant “Moss Covers All” showcase the band’s willingness to incorporate unsettling atmospherics and unconventional structures. 

The addition of guitarist Nicko Caulderon’s screams adds another layer of ferocity, perfectly complementing Garris’ signature shrieks. 

Standout tracks like the catchy yet brutal “Don’t Reach For Me” and the dynamic closer “Sit & Mourn” demonstrate the band’s ability to craft memorable and nuanced compositions amidst the chaos. 

Uncompromising Intensity 

What truly sets “You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To” apart is its sheer, unrelenting intensity. From the opening salvo of “Trapped in the Grasp of a Memory” to the final notes of “Sit & Mourn,” the album is a non-stop barrage of sonic aggression that never lets up. 

Knocked Loose has amplified and concentrated their sound into something so potent that it demands the listener’s full attention and visceral engagement. 

While some may find the album’s uncompromising heaviness overwhelming, it’s a testament to Knocked Loose’s singular vision and unwavering commitment to their craft. “You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To” is a landmark release that solidifies the band’s place at the forefront of modern hardcore, pushing the boundaries of the genre while staying true to its primal roots.” (Perplexity)
