They are credited as one of the bands to pioneer the djent movement in progressive metal, a subgenre characterized by its use of low-tuned guitars and complex polyrhythms. Tesseract has won a number of awards for their music, including the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award for Best New Band in 2012. They have also been nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance for their song “Nocturne” in 2014. Tesseract is a band that is constantly evolving and pushing the boundaries of their genre. Their music is both complex and accessible, and they continue to attract new fans with each release.”

Ice Nine Kills

Murdersome metal trailblazers, Ice Nine Kills brought the latest chapter of their expansive cinematic universe to a brutal and sinister end last night as they premiered brand new ‘Silence of The Lambs’ inspired single and video “Meat & Greet” at an immersive event, hosted by INK frontman and maniacal mastermind, Spencer Charnas and entertainment journalist, Ryan J Downey. Fans tuned in from around the world to watch the event, that was also globally livestreamed on the band’s YouTube channel from The Montalbán Theatre in Hollywood, CA. Photos of the event can be found HERE.

Dubbed “Ice Nine Kills Presents: Meat & Greet: The Horrorwood Saga Comes To A TASTEFUL End”, the delicious event marked the launch of “Meat & Greet” as part of a premiere screening of Ice Nine Kills’ complete Horrorwood Saga film. Composed of all eight of their official music videos from 2021’s chart topping album, ‘The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood’. This marked the first time the pieces of the Horrorwood puzzle were presented together as one cohesive film and gave fans both in attendance and watching around the world, the first look at the unsettling and blood soaked end to the epic saga with the addition of the grand finale – ‘Meat & Greet’. Watch the video HERE or by clicking the image below and stream the track HERE.

“Meat & Greet” appears on Ice Nine Kills’ forthcoming release ‘Welcome To Horrorwood: Under Fire’, out October 20th via Fearless Records, which caps off the ambitious Horrorwood Saga concept and is by far the band’s most intricate and detail-oriented release yet.  ‘Welcome To Horrorwood: Under Fire’, is a 3LP Deluxe Edition of ‘The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood’. It features the original album, now with the addition of ‘Meat & Greet’, two reimagined tracks and a limited edition, wearable Silence mask, all encased in a super limited and highly collectible  flame-engulfed box set. Pre-orders are available now HERE.

On concluding this multi-year concept, Charnas said:

“After two years and eight music videos, we’re ready to bring the ‘Welcome To Horrorwood’ saga to a shocking and tasteful climax with the unveiling of the final episode –  ‘Meat & Greet’. Join us in celebrating the entire blood-soaked era of ‘The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood’ as we present the horrifying climax of our cinematic saga…..at least for now.”

With one final twist of the knife, Ice Nine Kills have closed out their most horrific and ambitious era in spectacular, blockbuster fashion as the terrifying Horrorwood tale comes to a fittingly sinister close with “Meat & Greet”. What will follow no one knows. Sleep with one eye open and enjoy the silence while you still can.

Baroness Send Richmond To Sweet Oblivion

Baroness 10-14-23

The Sweet Oblivion tour has commenced on the Death Chariot (the newly named tour bus) and Baroness is night by night performing more songs of STONE live. On October 14th, 2023 at the Canal Club in Richmond, Virginia, Baroness debuted “Magnolia” to the East Coast crowd.

STONE won me over after playing it a few times and hearing songs like “Last Word” and “Shine” performed live reinforced my appreciation for Baroness’ latest release. It’s a continuation of sludge and groove metal expertise while also offering different formats and styles with the same sound.

It was not just new material at the Richmond stop. Hearing “March To The Sea” from Yellow & Green and seeing the crowd instinctively jump to the beat was an impressive pump-up moment early on. The sing-along to “Chlorine & Whine” and “Shock Me” (my personal favorite) off of Purple always makes the crowd sound giant and unified.

October 14th, 2023 was a dreary, overcast day in Virginia. On the second floor of The Canal Club, everyone saw the colors Baroness was shining. It was the best way to spend an evening, regardless of the weather. Check out photos and footage of the Richmond performance below.

Last Word

March To The Sea

Magnolia
War, Wisdom, and Rhyme
The Sweetest Curse
Isak
Seasons
Shock Me

Before the concert, I was able to speak with Gina Gleason on the creation process of STONE, pedal configurations, and the love of touring. You can find that interview below.

 

 

The Sweet Oblivion Tour will continue through October and November, ending December 1st in Philadelphia, PA. Full tour dates are listed below.

Baroness Sweet Oblivion Tour

From Google Bard: “Baroness is known for their eclectic sound, which incorporates elements of heavy metal, sludge metal, progressive rock, and post-metal. The band has released six studio albums, all of which have been critically acclaimed. Their most recent album, Stone, was released in September 2023.

The band is currently on tour in North America in support of their new album, Stone. The tour began in October 2023 and is scheduled to end in December 2023.

Baroness has also announced a number of acoustic in-store tour dates for October 2023. These shows will feature the band playing stripped-down versions of their songs in an intimate setting.”

Beartooth – The Surface | Album Review

Beartooth The Surface
Beartooth The Surface Album Review

 

Caleb Shomo’s attempt at being a bit more optimistic and less angry. All while trying to still give the signature Beartooth sound. My biggest problem is that while none of the album sounds bad, high-production value in fact, The Surface is still definitely more of the same. Guitar riffs and mainstream format down to the letter. Less anger, but still plenty of bitterness and self-loathing. “Life’s not fair.” “I don’t love myself.” It’s not just cliche for metalcore but cliche for even Beartooth at this point. Outside of that bland, pointless Hardy collaboration. That was a waste of time. It’s fine. It exists. I wanted to enjoy Beartooth in 2023 more than I did, but in the end, The Surface is the groove Beartooth has stayed in for years. 6/10.

Best Tracks:
“Sunshine”
“Might Love Myself”

Here are some of the critical reactions to the album:
Kerrang!: “The Surface is a collection of tracks that are the best and most consistent Beartooth have ever sounded on record.”
Louder Sound: “As a whole, The Surface is a sharp, poignant, and blazingly cathartic celebration of life, warts and all.”
AllMusic: “The Surface is a more hopeful and optimistic album than Beartooth’s previous work, but it still retains the band’s signature heaviness.”
Rolling Stone: “Beartooth’s fifth studio album is a powerful and moving collection of songs about overcoming adversity and finding hope.”

 

From Google Bard: “Beartooth’s fifth studio album, The Surface, is a departure from the band’s previous work in several ways. It is a more hopeful and optimistic album, with lyrics that focus on self-love, overcoming adversity, and finding one’s place in the world. The music is also more melodic and accessible, while still retaining the band’s signature heaviness.”

Creeper Sanguivore
Creeper Sanguivore Album Review

 

This is a full rock opera and it’s exactly what Creeper needed to make in order to show how fun this band can be. Sanguivore relishes in the dramatic sing-alongs that are broodingly gothic and 80s-tastic. Will and Hannah once again how well they can sing together. The best selling point besides the singles is the nine-minute opener “Further Than Forever”. It’s the best way to open this gritty opus. Part fantasy, part macabre, and lots of hooks. Over the top doesn’t begin to describe Sanguivore but this album is filled with vampires and it’s not total cheese. Halloween has a new soundtrack. For old Creeper fans wanting the next chapter and new listeners wanting something different, Sanguivore won’t lead you astray. 9/10

Here are some of the critical reactions to Sanguivore:
“Sanguivore is a bold and ambitious album that sees Creeper fully embrace their love of classic rock, punk, and metal.” – The Skinny
“Sanguivore is a love letter to the 80s, whether it’s punk, pop, hard-rock or heavy metal, and it’s bursting with great songs that are sure to please long-term and new fans alike.” – Rock Sound
“Sanguivore is an impressive and unapologetic romp through an ever-expanding pool of reference points: the drama of Meat Loaf, the brooding urgency of Sisters of Mercy, and the 70s punk edge of The Damned, to name a few.” – Rolling Stone UK

Bones UK Drop New Single & Music Video “Ride”

Bones UK

Bones UK have today dropped their new single “Ride“ and the accompanying music video (via Sumerian Records). Speaking about the track, the band shared: 

“‘RIDE’ is a response to toxic masculinity and the pressure people feel to buy certain things or to look a certain way. No amount of money can buy cool or happiness. It’s not about the size of the machine it’s what you do with it, that ALWAYS counts.

So many people, men and women, live their lives thinking that the more they have, and the shinier and newer what they have is, the happier they will be. And the more fulfilled their lives will feel. For men the phrase, “bigger is better” is always being thrown about. And we wanted to turn all of those ideas on their head. Maybe it’s less about “Big dick energy” and more about “Don’t BE A DICK energy.“

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJRuZL0fvww

BONES UK are on a mission of intent. “We want our music to empower, to make you feel like you’ve found your home, your gang, your army,” the London raised/LA based duo confidently assert. “We want to help you get out of bed in the morning – to be proud of every scar or beautiful imperfection, on or inside your body. We want our music to make you stand on your bed and scream “FUCK FITTING IN!”” Made up of vocalist Rosie Bones and virtuoso guitarist Carmen Vandenberg, the GRAMMY-nominated BONES UK don’t waste a second of their self-titled debut album, confronting everything from the beauty industrial-complex to toxic masculinity and music-scene sexism; embedding each track with choruses primed for passionate shouting along.

SCOTT STAPP Announces New Album, “Higher Power”

Grammy winning, platinum-certified artist SCOTT STAPP will release his fourth solo album, Higher Power (Napalm Records) on March 15, 2024 before the iconic frontman returns to the stage with Creed for the first time in ten years. His upcoming ten-track triumph turns the rocker’s experiences on the razor’s edge into an acknowledgement of grace. The album is available for pre-order now as title track “Higher Power” ships to radio and emotive new single “What I Deserve” debuts today on all DSPs. Pre-order HERE. 

When hard-hitting single “Higher Power” debuted in August, Loudwire stated that Stapp is “primed for a big decade, sounding just as powerful as he did at half his age with a sense of newfound heaviness resting beneath his iconic voice.” Now, mid-tempo anthem “What I Deserve” (out today) addresses the inherent duality within relationships and smolders with the blistering yet delicate guitar work of multi-award winning guitar great, Yiannis Papadopoulos.

Stapp says:
“We all want back what we give. ‘What I Deserve’ is about two people understanding who they are individually and coming to a place where they can express exactly what they each want, need, and deserve. The duality in the song is that both sides are expressing the same thing and coming to an understanding of the faults of the other. This song pleads both guilty and innocent with Yiannis’ guitar solo being the voice that articulates a chaotic search for deliverance and the epic release of passionate closure.”

Higher Power follows 2019’s The Space Between the Shadows, which debuted at #3 on the US Current Rock Albums chart, the US Current Hard Music Albums chart, and the UK Official Rock and Metal Chart, among countless other top chart positions. 

On an album that traverses themes of loss, frustration, betrayal and near defeat, Higher Power features stand-out performances by hard rock queen Dorothy on a deeply raw duet and, throughout the album, Papadopoulos’ guitar leads and solos are such invaluable contributions that he is credited as a featured artist on three tracks. There is also a co-writing appearance by multi-Grammy Award winning songwriter and musician Steve McEwan on Higher Power, which was produced by Marti Frederiksen and Scott Stevens, with co-production by Stapp.  

Stapp explains:
“Higher Power was born out of never ending consequences with triggered, yet naive defiance. It’s the realities and realizations of being human in this experiment we call life – holding onto hope in the dark waiting for the light.”

Pre-Order Higher Power HERE

Higher Power track listing:
1. Higher Power    
2. Deadman’s Trigger    
3. When Love Is Not Enough    
4. What I Deserve (feat. Yiannis Papadopoulos)
5. If These Walls Could Talk (feat. Dorothy)
6. Black Butterfly    
7. Quicksand (feat. Yiannis Papadopoulos)
8. You’re Not Alone    
9. Dancing in the Rain (feat. Yiannis Papadopoulos)

The Midnight Make DC Stand For Dance Club

The Midnight
The Midnight at The Anthem in Washington, D. C.

Washington, Dance Party is the new aptly named area where The Midnight performed. October 9th, 2023 marked the third time The Midnight visited the nation’s capital and the immaculate venue The Anthem definitely felt the different vibes from the band as the night went on. Saxophone solos and electronic drum beats made sure no one could stay still the entire evening. 

Some of the highlights included the sing-along for “Jason” and “Sunset”, and hearing “Ghost In Your Stereo” at the beginning of the set excited many people at the barricade. Each musician had some time to come forward and the performance never felt rushed or phoned in. Each song helped set a mood rather than just burn through a setlist.  

This was my first time seeing The Midnight live. I was told by several people that the shows always offer an upbeat feeling from both the band and the crowd. Last night confirmed that description. After the recent release of Red, White, And Bruised: The Midnight Live, I hope that more people understand just how excellent this group is on stage. It’s rare to see a group of multi-instrumentalists all playing so in sync while keeping the crowd engaged and energetic. 

I would recommend seeing The Midnight live to anyone, regardless of listener music preference. This is a rare band that knows how to target everyone while also having a unique sound that is hard to duplicate. Washington Dance Party will hopefully hold another meeting soon with The Midnight.
