JINJER, Ukraine’s most dynamic musical force, has just unleashed a new live video for their gripping anti-war anthem, “Home Back”. The live version of the song is cut from their highly anticipated first official live DVD/BluRay, Live in Los Angeles, set to be released this Friday, May 17 via Napalm Records. Originally the track appeared on JINJER’s 2019 studio album, Macro. This meaningful song holds profound significance and perfectly embraces the sense of the new live album. In fact, filmed on December 22, 2022 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, CA, USA, Live in Los Angeles not only honors their endurance through recent challenges, but also celebrates their triumphant 15-year journey.          

During these years, JINJER attained remarkable milestones, touring globally and captivating millions at prestigious festivals like Hellfest, Rock am Ring, Graspop Metal Meeting, Download Festival and Rocklahoma USA. Moreover, their latest triumph, the acclaimed studio album Wallflowers, broke charts worldwide, soaring to #1 on both the US Billboard Top New Artist Album charts and Canadian Hard Music album charts, #2 on the US Hard Music album charts, #5 on the official UK Rock & Metal album charts and #7 on the official German album charts.

JINJER on “Home Back”:             
“Since it‘s original release back in 2019, ‘Home Back’ has become another anthem for JINJER and our followers. From its upbeat musical groove to its lyrics charged with pacifism and unfortunate predictions about the state of the world we find ourselves in today, we felt like this was no brainer to release as the third single for the Live In Los Angeles DVD!”  

Live in Los Angeles was a spontaneous decision by the band, recorded as raw as possible, to emphasize the passion that can come from a live show. This release is an explosive mixture of JINJER’s discography – featuring fan favorites like “Sit Stay Roll Over”, “Call Me A Symbol” and the game changing “Pisces”. The live album contains 16 songs in various audio formats, with some strictly limited: the Deluxe Digipack features not only a DVD, but also two more songs, “Wallflower” & “Disclosure!”, recorded in Paris in 2023.

Pre-order your copy of Live in Los Angeles NOW

With feisty growls and soul-shattering clean vocals, the live energy of frontwoman Tatiana Shmayluk presented on Live in Los Angeles leaves the listener breathless, whilst lethally groovy riffs and multifarious drums culminate to a technical masterpiece, cutting sharp like a razorblade. Live in Los Angeles is JINJER at the top of their game – breaking every rule in heavy metal by doing things their very own way, and preparing fans for the next step of their world domination!
 
JINJER on Live in Los Angeles:  
“Our sold-out Los Angeles show at the end of our 2022 tour was the perfect time and place to do something special – something like a long-awaited DVD/live album by JINJER! The totally packed, legendary venue, the crazy west coast vibes, and most importantly, the band delivering it with full force after being on tour for 6 months around the globe – from Europe to Australia and back to the USA – made this an extra special night. For the fans who joined us that night at The Wiltern, it was an unforgettable concert, but now every single JINJER supporter around the world can experience and enjoy an ideal set featuring our biggest hits from older albums as well as recent bangers. This is not just a DVD or a live album, but a celebration of the first 15 years of the JINJER story, right before we move on to the next chapter…”

Apocalyptica Drop New Single feat. James Hetfield

Apocalyptica 2024

Apocalyptica are thrilled to announce the third single from Apocalyptica Plays Metallica, Vol. 2 – the hotly-anticipated sequel to their legendary debut record. One falls hot on the heels of first singles The Four Horsemen and The Unforgiven II, and features none other than Metallica frontman James Hetfield himself.

Apocalyptica Plays Metallica Vol. 2 will continue the journey that began in 1996 when cellists from Helsinki’s world-renowned Sibelius Academy played symphonic tribute to the biggest of the big four – heavy metal titans Metallica. For their tenth record the classically-minded dynamos are returning to their roots to bring a legendary story full circle. It also features a host of surprises, including an unprecedented collaboration.

Third single One, taken from Metallica’s 1988 landmark …And Justice For All is a breathtaking reinterpretation of one of the biggest of The Big Four’s greatest musical moments – a true crowning creative achievement in their staggering 40 year career. In a stunning development, the single sees Metallica frontman James Hetfield himself joining proceedings for a soul-stirring, spoken-word rendition of those inimitable, now immortal lyrics. More than a unique collaboration, this is history in the making.

“I think it’s incredible that James wanted to do it,” says Eicca Toppinen. “We were always thinking, ‘it’d be great to someday do something with Metallica!’ I think the excitement for him came from the different approach we were taking – sometimes the craziest ideas are what excites people and that was our challenge.”

“We used everything at our disposal to make it as bombastic as possible. It had to be epic! The result was truly cinematic, with James Hetfield narrating the story with those poetic lyrics. It was powerful and touching,” adds Perttu Kivilaakso. “As a fan I have to say it was unbelievable to finally hear it. I was in my home crying. My hands were shaking. It was an incredible journey.”

Apocalyptica Plays Metallica Vol. 2 was produced by longtime collaborator and studio supremo Joe Barresi (Queens of the Stone Age, Soundgarden, Nine Inch Nails, Tool) and will be released via new label Throwdown Entertainment on June 7th.

Tracklisting:

  1. Ride the Lightning
  2. St. Anger
  3. The Unforgiven II
  4. Blackened
  5. The Call of Ktulu (in memory of Cliff Burton)
  6. The Four Horsemen (ft. Rob Trujillo)
  7. Holier Than Thou
  8. To Live Is To Die
  9. One (ft.. James Hetfield)

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.

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.
