One artist I’ve discovered that’s been on steady rotation for me in 2024 is Scro. The guitarist, vocalist, and producer has amassed a considerable following on Instagram and TikTok, but never got recommended to me algorithmically on other conventional social media or Spotify. But one listen of “Is This What You Wanted” and I was captivated from the start. Scro’s ability to rip tapping riffs that would make Origami Angel sweat, add so many layers of production that FL Studio should crash every 5 minutes, and top it all with impassioned vocals culminates into bingeworthy discography listens. An artist that frequently collaborates, Scro enlisted Underbelly, who’s behind the YouTube channel You Suck At Producing, to team up in a new EP, scrobelly. With DJ Underbelly’s input, this looks like a formula for an intricate, evocative listen. How does this one turn out?
Just as expected, Scro and Underbelly lay it on HEAVY with the production twists and tricks. Intertwining melodies, percussive elements, and steady beats, most of the offerings on scrobelly create a soundscape that bursts at the seams with headphone listens to fully capture the busy proceedings. Scro adds a twinkly midwest-emo tap riff here and there, and when songs like “i lay here” pay off with a guitar solo, it’s peak Scro/Underbelly. Compared to earlier Scro’s vocals, he’s made significant process in his vocal delivery, too – screams are improved and so is enunciation to complement his guitar prowess. With so much going on at once, what Underbelly adds to the equation can’t be understated, either; Scro was adept with production, but the hyperpop moments prevalent in tracks like “leave me” are just as enthralling as the post-hardcore ones in “i guess i’m alone” on scrobelly.
Exhibiting their range across all seven songs, scrobelly is certain to be a hidden gem in 2024. Best experienced in an immersed headphones listen, Scro is as enthused with the final product as I am: “this EP is truly something special. me and underbelly put a lot of time and creativity into it and the whole project is so diverse and focused. i hope u are all excited for it”. Scro embarks on their first tour this April, supporting Julia Wolf. In the meantime, check out scrobelly if you’re keen on unique genre blends and masterful music production.
Oh wow! Just in time for the release of their upcoming EP, Voyage of the Dead Marauder, pirate parties are raging around the world with ALESTORM’s new, infectious single “Uzbekistan”, out now alongside an official music video. The new EP, Voyage of the Dead Marauder, drops this Friday, March 22, 2024 via Napalm Records.
The crew sails forth with “Uzbekistan”, showcasing a classic pirate metal anthem featuring a synth-laden party breakdown full of intense screams while teaching geography to the greatest historians about the famous pirate-sea-land of Uzbekistan.
This EP succeeds the band’s chart-topping previous album, Seventh Rum of a Seventh Rum, which debuted at #7 on the German album charts and #5 on both the US Current Hard Music and Top New Artist Albums charts upon release, as well as six further humorous masterpieces. After a successful UK and Ireland tour supported by Korpiklaani and label mates Heidevolk, and a long crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, they are currently headlining venues in North America!
Chris Bowes comments: “Oh wow! We’ve decided it is our life goal to become the biggest band in Uzbekistan, so we wrote this wee song about the place. I trust it is 100% historically accurate.”
ALESTORM return to the seven seas with new Pirate Metal anthems! The EP breaks loose with the epic title track Voyage of the Dead Marauder – an accelerating anthem featuring an appearance from returning guest favorite Patty Gurdy, giving the track some extra spice with a hurdy-gurdy performance and captivating vocals. “The Last Saskatchewan Pirate” will transform any gathering into a packed pirate pub with its jolly flute melody, conveying a freeing, energetic mood, before “Sea Shanty 2” uplifts with an instrumental interlude. But don’t fret – listeners who clamor for the band’s most raucous anthems will have their needs met, as closing track “Cock” fully balances out the EP’s more serious tracks with its delightfully foul lyrics. Get on board landlubbers, and embark with your favorite pirate crew on this seaworthy adventure!

WAGE WAR DROP VIDEO FOR EXPLOSIVE NEW SINGLE “MAGNETIC” — WATCH
CO-HEADLINING NORTH AMERICAN TOUR 2024 WITH NOTHING MORE + SPECIAL GUESTS VEIL OF MAYA + SLEEP THEORY KICKS OFF APRIL 16
WAGE WAR — Briton Bond [lead vocals], Cody Quistad [rhythm guitar, clean vocals], Seth Blake [lead guitar], Chris Gaylord [bass], and Stephen Kluesener [drums] — are barreling straight ahead into 2024 with an explosive new single.
Today, the band premiered the new single “Magnetic” via SiriusXM’s Octane and dropped the video. Watch it here.
Wage War “Magnetic”
The band has built its reputation on the back of smart songwriting that expertly pits hooks against heaviness and sprinkles melody amidst the maelstrom. On “Magnetic,” the Florida five-piece continues this tried and true formula that has been so effective for them. But they take it up 10 notches and throw more than a few sonic curveballs in the space of four minutes. The melodic verses and choruses grab your attention and the hard-charging and unholy roars and thick riffs keep it. “Magnetic” should write you a rent check because it will live in your brain, thanks to its supreme catchiness. It is indeed “Magnetic.”
“‘Magnetic’ is a song about an attraction to someone that you just can’t seem to quit,” the band explains. “Despite knowing what may be best, we’re pulled back to a feeling that inevitably takes control. Fate decides our future.”
In other Wage War news, the band will kick off its Spring 2024 co-headline tour with Nothing More on Tuesday, April 16 in Charlotte, NC. The trek runs through Friday, May 17 in Indianapolis, IN. All dates are below. Get tickets here.

“Stoked to be touring with some of our oldest friends in the industry,” says The Used vocalist Bert McCracken. “We’ve always been huge fans of Big Blue Monkey! Can’t wait to see Amira Elfeky live as well!!!”
“The Used have been big brothers to Story Of The Year for over 20 years,” continues Story Of The Year frontman Dan Marsala. “They were the one of first bands to take us on tour after we finished ‘Page Avenue’ and they played a big part in SOTY becoming the band we are today. I’ve always admired how The Used were the fearless leaders of our early 2000s scene and I’m so proud of the friendship that we built so many years ago. The Used and Story Of The Year… that just sounds right!”
Last year, The Used released their newest album, Toxic Positivity. Described as a “day-in-the-life journey of a depressed, anxiety-ridden person” by McCracken, the tell-all record shares the highs and lows of depression and addiction through a cohesive body of work, speaking to the ever-changing headspace that he was experiencing at the time of writing. “This record is quite tough for me to listen to,” he adds, “because it’s a reflection of times in my life that have been some of my lowest ever.”
Story Of The Year released their most recent album Tear Me To Pieces in 2023 via SharpTone Records. Featuring eleven new tracks – including previous singles “Real Life,” “Tear Me To Pieces,” “Take The Ride,” “War,” and “2005” – the new album is distinctly, invitingly, loudly Story Of The Year. Heartache, desperation, motivation, toxic relationships, pain, loss, anger – all of the essential ingredients of the classic Story Of The Year sound propel Tear Me to Pieces in dazzling new ways.
You know what’s awesome? Metal. Especially when a metal band covers a song and makes it heavy and loud and amazing. This video looks at 10 AWESOME Metal Cover Songs (ft. TOOL, System Of A Down, Electric Callboy, & more).
When it comes to awesome metal cover songs, Ghost’s rendition of “Phantom of the Opera” by Iron Maiden and TOOL’s interpretation of “No Quarter” stand out as exceptional examples. Ghost’s cover of “Phantom of the Opera” showcases their unique style and ability to breathe new life into classic tracks, blending their signature sound with the iconic Iron Maiden hit. On the other hand, TOOL’s take on “No Quarter” demonstrates their musical prowess and creativity, transforming the original song into a mesmerizing metal masterpiece. These covers not only pay homage to the original artists but also highlight the versatility and talent of both Ghost and TOOL in reimagining songs from different genres into powerful metal renditions that captivate audiences worldwide.
Northlane are gearing up to hit the road again! The band hasannounced its Summer 2024 North American headline tour, featuring Invent Animate, Thornhill, and Windwaker.
The “Mirror’s Edge” tour — named after the band’s upcoming EP — kicks off on June 21 in Seattle and winds down on July 27 in Sacramento. Various pre-sale options are available, while general tickets go on sale on Friday, March 22 at 10am local time. Get tickets here.
NORTHLANE ON TOUR: WITH INVENT ANIMATE, THORNHILL, + WINDWAKER: 6/21 — Seattle, WA — Neptune 6/22 — Portland, OR — Roseland Theater 6/23 — Spokane, WA — Knitting Factory 6/24 — Vancouver, BC — Commodore Ballroom 6/26 — Edmonton, AB — Union Hall 6/27 — Calgary, AB — Palace Theatre 6/30 — Minneapolis, MN — Varsity Theater 7/1 — Chicago, IL — House of Blues 7/3 — Lakewood, OH — Roxy 7/4 — London, ON — London Music Hall 7/5 — Toronto, ON — Danforth Music Hall 7/6 — Ottawa, ON — Bronson Centre 7/7 — Montreal, QC — Beanfield Theatre 7/9 — New York, NY — Irving Plaza 7/10 — Boston, MA — Paradise Rock Club 7/11 — Philadelphia, PA — TLA 7/12 — Baltimore, MD — Baltimore Soundstage 7/13 — Charlotte, NC — The Underground 7/14 — Nashville, TN — Brooklyn Bowl 7/16 — Tampa, FL — The Orpheum 7/17 — Atlanta, GA — Masquerade (Heaven) 7/19 — San Antonio, TX — Vibes Event Center 7/20 — Dallas, TX — South Side Music Hall 7/21 — Lawrence, KS — Granada Theater 7/23 — Denver, CO — Summit Music Hall 7/24 — Salt Lake City, UT — The Complex 7/26 — Anaheim, CA — House of Blues 7/27 — Sacramento, CA — Ace of Spades
Additionally, Northlane will drop their forthcoming EP, Mirror’s Edge, on April 12. Mirror’s Edge was recorded with their old friend and revered producer Will Putney. Described by Jon Deiley (songwriter/guitarist) as “the greatest hits of Northlane sounds,” the EP is a nostalgic journey through all the colors on their sonic palette, with bonus shades from special guests Winston McCall (Parkway Drive) and Ian Kenny (Karnivool/Birds of Tokyo) — two of the most influential artists in Northlane’s history. Their former bass player, Brendon Padjasek, also stopped by the studio to lend his scream to one of the tracks. Penned just over a year after the release of their award-winning album, Obsidian, the road to Mirror’s Edge was a bumpy one. Instead of riding high from the success of the album, the simmering tension and communication breakdown between band members threatened to engulf Northlane at any moment. Northlane tackled their issues head-on at a writing retreat in Victoria’s Yarra Valley, where they worked through their problems and unlocked new channels of creativity in the process that reflects through the EP. From the expansive prog of “Afterimage” to their signature bottom-heavy groove and viscous breakdown of “Kraft” and compulsive beat and electronic focus of “Dante,” Mirror’s Edge is full of Northlane’s most vivid colours and textures. Thematically, the EP is about looking at yourself and reflecting on the past one final time before leaving it all behind to find hope in what lies beyond the mirror’s edge. With the recurring theme of acceptance binding these songs together, frontman Marcus Bridge is hopeful that Mirror’s Edge will be the coda on this part of his personal life, so much of which he has shared in the last couple of Northlane releases.
MIRROR’S EDGE TRACK LISTING:
“Mirror’s Edge” “Afterimage” (Feat. Ian Kenny) “Miasma” (Feat. Winston McCall) “Let Me Disappear” “Kraft” (Feat. Brendon Padjasek) “Dante“

“I was driving my daughter to school and she played it for me on the way and I really took to the song,” says The Gaslight Anthem’s Brian Fallon. “Then one day we were talking ideas for a cover with our friends and I said, wouldn’t it be cool to do a heavier version of ‘Ocean Eyes’? I tried it out and everybody loved the idea.”
The Gaslight Anthem will celebrate HISTORY BOOKS – SHORT STORIES and much more with an eagerly awaited North American summer headline tour. The “HISTORY BOOKS TOUR” gets underway July 26 at Denver, CO’s Mission Ballroom and then continues through a September 1 finale at Detroit, MI’s The Fillmore Detroit.

Take angry industrial with endless strobe lights and noise. Then take the most serene, atmospheric music you can think of. Now make both styles seamlessly integrate. That was what Health presented at The National in Richmond, VA.
Promoting the band’s latest album RAT WARS, Health have excelled with creating a unique audience and fanbase. The turnout in Richmond brought industrial fans and gamers to the floor. For a crowd that was mostly stoic and swaying through the evening, a pit eventually broke open during the openings tracks of Health’s set. This was an almost completely black-wearing audience who reveled in the bass filled groove of the 70-minute set.
RAT WARS was a late contender for album of the year entries across many 2023 lists. With the many collaborations on the album as well as the bold creativity and electronic design, it became a last minute gem for my year as well. Several songs from the new album were performed at The National, including “DEMIGODS” which you can find the video for below.
This was my first time seeing Health live. Before the set started, Randy Blythe from Lamb Of God showed up in the photo pit to take photos of the performance. Blythe, who also performed with Health on the band’s latest release, said he too was excited to see Health live for the first time.
It’s also worth pointing out that Health have some extreme merchandise for sale at every show. I would have taken a photo to show the different options, but then I found out that the band has done the good business practice of showing the merch themselves through social media. You can check out the filthy t-shirts along with photos and footage from Health’s set below.
Setlist: IDENTITY CRACK METAL MEN TODAY HATEFUL ZOOTHORNS STONEFIST NEW COKE FUTURE OF HELL DEMIGODS MAJOR CRIMES THE MESSAGE Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) (Deftones cover) ASHAMED WE ARE WATER DSM‐V FEEL NOTHING CRUSHER
Supporting HEALTH on tour is Chicago’s Pixel Grip. This was a group that I was completely unfamiliar with until last night. What I noticed was a strong vocalist with the slightest bit of attitude and strong personality. All of which is meant as a compliment. The music relished in digital beats paired with crash drumming. This was dark wave filled with hooks and the vibe was appropriate as an opener for Health.
At one point near the end of Pixel Grip’s set, singer Rita Lukea warned the crowd if they didn’t start turning up that she would come out there and show them what’s up. Lukea lived up to her word and clambered past the photo pit and past the barricade. After finishing her section of the song on the floor, she returned to stage saying “I warned you.”
Pixel Grip “ALPHAPUSSY” (Live at Metro Music Hall)
This was a fun evening. Rat-Based Warfare may sound like a nightmare on paper, but the music made sure it was great. You can check out more from each band at their respective socials: Health | Pixel Grip
