Recently, Sum 41 announced their upcoming double album, Heaven :x: Hell, expected for release on March 29 via Rise Records. Heaven :x: Hell is the most ambitious album from Sum 41 yet – Heaven is 10 tracks of snarling high energy pop punk, while Hell consists of ten heavy metal anthems spiked with fret-burning solos, thrashing riffs, and fist-pumping hooks. The band has been straddling the line of pop-punk and metal for their entire career, and Heaven :x: Hell is a testament to their innovative sound and unmatched skill, proving them as pioneers 27 years after the bands inception.

Heaven :x: Hell is available to pre-save and pre-order now at https://sum41.lnk.to/HeavenHell

Sum 41 shared previously “Rise Up” and “Landmines”, from Heaven :x: Hell’s metal Hell side and pop-punk Heaven portion, respectively. The tracks have gained the attention of notable outlets such as Entertainment Tonight, Revolver, Consequence, NME, Exclaim!, BrooklynVegan, Alternative Press, KNOTFEST, and countless others.

Earlier this year, Sum 41 announced their breakup after 27 years of making music together – the news was reported on by The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, CNN, Bloomberg, Pitchfork, TODAY, CBS, Billboard, and countless other major news outlets globally. Heaven :x: Hell is aiming for nothing short of greatness, a perfect parting gift from the band to the fans that have supported them endlessly.

Looking back at the band’s storied 27 year career, Sum 41 has firmly cemented their place in rock history with over 15 million records sold worldwide, multiple Billboard Charting releases, a Grammy Award nomination, 2 Juno Awards (7 nominations), a Kerrang! Award in 2002, multiple Alternative Press Music Awards, and countless other accolades.

AMARANTHE Release New Single “Re-Vision” from Upcoming Album ‘The Catalyst’

By
Ana Santos
-

Two weeks into the new year, AMARANTHE, one of Sweden’s most influential modern metal bands, kicks off 2024 with the crushing pop metal song ‘Re-Vision.’ With its electronic pulse, powerful riffs, and irresistibly lethal hooks in the chorus, the song demonstrates why AMARANTHE are one of the most unique acts in modern metal.

AMARANTHE‘s Olof Mörck states:
“It is time for the fourth single from The Catalyst, ‘Re-Vision’, and this time we went all in. Ponderous cyberpunk and synth wave rhythms clash with AMARANTHE’s signature sound in an equally thrilling and memorable blend, sure to act as a permanent cybernetic implant into your brain. The prodigious video, once again actualized by long-time collaborator Patric Ullaeus, serves as the perfect counterpoint to ‘Re-Vision’, more ambitious and explosive than any AMARANTHE video to date! As predictions from the 80’s Artificial Intelligence seem to become truer every day, we are ready to serve you a cataclysmic yet captivating foresight into the future of AMARANTHE: Re-Visioned.”

‘Re-Vision’ is the fourth single from AMARANTHE‘s forthcoming album The Catalyst, that will see the light of the day on February 23rd, 2024, via Nuclear Blast Records. The album will be available digitally and in different physical formats including CD, Vinyl, a 2CD Special Edition, and a band-exclusive Vinyl that will come with a signed poster. Presave or preorder your format of choice here:
https://amaranthe.bfan.link/the-catalyst.a01

The Catalyst is the most conceptually coherent piece of work in AMARANTHE’s storied history. Dedicated to notions of transformation and revelation, it delves deeper than any previous album, as Olof Mörck explains.

“We’ve done these things before, but we’ve never been as theatrical as we have this time,” Mörck grins. “In fact, we all questioned whether we went too far this time, but I also figured that this band was always this way. Literally, the first seconds of our first video was a big explosion! But yes, The Catalyst is more theatrical than ever. We’ve never really been symphonic or orchestral before, but this time we just thought why not? Because we can! The key to this album is that we let go of the boundaries and decided to do something even more adventurous.”

The Catalyst represents the culmination of 15 years of hard work and the breathless pursuit of a wholly original musical vision. Change is inevitable. Victory is assured.

AMARANTHE recently announced new European tour dates together with UK extreme power metal outfit DRAGONFORCE and INFECTED RAIN. The package will be on the road in spring 2024:

*AMARANTHE Headline Show

Formed in 2008, AMARANTHE walked their own unique path from the start. With a sound that combined the sharpest, cutting edges of melodic metal, electronic rock, and razor-sharp pop, their impact was immediate and undeniable. Kicking off with their self-titled debut in 2011, the Swedes blazed a trail through the European metal scene and beyond, swiftly establishing themselves as a dazzling one-off, not least due to the unprecedented triple vocal attack that paired clean tones with exquisite melodic sensibilities and feral growls. Over the next few years, the sextet steadily grew in stature, releasing a series of praised studio records that jabbed persistently at the boundaries of modern metal.

New Mohawk and Booing Philadelphia| TOOL Start 2024 Live In Baltimore

By
Luke Spencer
-
TOOL in Baltimore, MD

“Baltimore!” *cheers* “BALTIMORE!” *more cheers* “You all sound like Philadelphia.” *gasps and boos*

The interaction between the Baltimore crowd at CFG Arena and Maynard James Keenan ensured to capture everyone’s attention. After opening with the title track of the 2019 Fear Inoculum, TOOL started off their Winter 2024 tour focusing on several of the longer jam tracks the band is known for. It proves there is definitely a place for this style of music in the current world, when crafted and performed as tightly as TOOL did in Charm City.

Of the 11-track setlist performed in Baltimore, six of the songs were from the band’s latest Fear Inoculum. In a recent interview, drummer Danny Carey said that he would be up for writing shorter tracks akin to Aenima. While the long tracks do suit TOOL, it would be interesting to hear the short blast style that TOOL are also capable of making. Keep in mind that “Short” for TOOL is still four to five minutes (and I’m happy with that).

The full video board were created with the iconic imagery TOOL has become known for at live shows. The visual artwork and creations of guitarist Adam Jones has become associated with all of TOOL’s music and I hope that is something that continues as the potential new music from TOOL comes forward.

2024 starts with wild graphics, long jam-tracks, a blonde mohawk, and booing Philadelphia. Somehow, this all seems right.

TOOL 2024 Live
Baltimore, MD Setlist:
Fear Inoculum 
Jambi 
Rosetta Stoned (Lost Keys intro) 
Pneuma 
Intolerance 
Descending 
The Grudge 
Chocolate Chip Trip 
Culling Voices 
Invincible 
Stinkfist

Unrelated to the music, but Maynard James Keenan recently obtained his black belt in Jiu Jitsu. If anyone questions his motivation or ability, keep in mind the singer travels with specific mats to roll around on at arenas. If that’s not dedication, I don’t know what is. I just hope he doesn’t randomly pull in techs or venue staff unwillingly to practice submission moves on.

Elder was given the great spot to open for TOOL on this Winter 2024 Tour. Singer Nick DiSalvo opened the set saying they were honored to be in Baltimore and opening for TOOL. You could see that sincerity in the entire band. This was the perfect band to open on this tour as Elder also have a longer playing style that allows for big instrumental sections.

Southern California’s DAYSEEKER have shared the video for the intensely intimate song “Dreamstate” from 2022’s Dark Sun.

The vehicular video features performance footage and a mechanic who may be living in a dreamstate of her own.

“‘Dreamstate’ is about vivid dreams I had of my father after he passed,” shares singerRory Rodriguez. “There were truly times it felt as if we were communicating with one another, but I’d wake to reality and it would deeply affect my ability to cope.”

Dayseeker are a quiet killer. The band has steadily built a buzz over the past several years — and they have reached a tipping point. Dayseeker built themselves into a scene standout with 2019’s Sleeptalk, which was hailed by Alternative Press as  “a warm and welcome release to higher ground” and as “much needed fresh air into the post-hardcore scene.” The album has gone on to accumulate over 125 million streams, and it positioned the band as a formidable force — and one that is primed to take its next big leap. In 2021, the band dropped a deluxe version of Sleeptalk, featuring four reimagined versions of album tracks, which offered fans a fresh and unique take on songs they already love. It also demonstrated the depth and breadth of the band’s creative vision, scope, and possibilities. However, Dark Sun catapulted the band beyond the scene’s stratosphere. The album is out now via Spinefarm and is at 80 millions streams.

Elsewhere, Blender highlighted how the band and album “combine emo’s nervous-breakdown emotionalism and hardcore punk’s aggression.” The album is equally beloved by the band’s diehard legion of fans and is considered a benchmark of the ’00s.

Thanks to everyone that made suggestions for what covers to include on the 10 GREAT Punk Goes…Covers list. There were a couple I hadn’t heard before I started doing research. Next time will be the worst of Punk Goes… Covers and I’m hoping it won’t be as brutal as I anticipate.

“The “Punk Goes…” compilation series, launched in 2000 by Fearless Records, features punk rock bands covering songs from other genres. For example, I Prevail covered Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” in the “Punk Goes Pop Vol. 6” album. The series has released nineteen compilation albums, including “Punk Goes Acoustic,” “Punk Goes Christmas,” “Punk Goes Crunk,” and more, with each album showcasing a unique theme or musical style. The series has been a platform for bands to showcase their creativity and has garnered a dedicated following over the years.” (Perplexity)

New Years Day Shares Defiant Single “I Still Belive”

New Years Day

Rock band New Years Day is thrilled to share their powerfully defiant new single “I Still Believe,” out now and streaming here. The song comes from the band’s forthcoming 5th studio album, Half Black Heart, set to be released on March 1, 2024. Pre-order/pre-save Half Black Heart now, here: https://newyearsday.lnk.to/HalfBlackHeart.

“The first song we wrote for our new album was actually ‘I Still Believe.’ It was during the summer of 2020, amidst the challenges of the Covid pandemic, when it felt like all our previous efforts and all the work we had put in the years prior were in vain,” shares Ash Costello. “Personally, I felt lost and uncertain about what lay ahead. However, a voice within me urged me to persevere, to never give up, and to maintain faith that things would eventually fall into place as they were meant to. I realized the importance of not overthinking and simply embracing the present moment. ‘I Still Believe’ is a heartfelt anthem dedicated to anyone in need of a reminder that with unwavering self-belief, anything is possible.”

New Years Day announced Half Black Heart in late 2023, following the release of “Vampyre” and “Secrets”. The record also features the band’s 2022 hit “Hurts Like Hell”. Last fall they also embarked on The Kiss of Death Tour with In This Moment and Ice Nine Kills, in addition to being featured on WWE NXT’s Halloween Havoc. Fans can catch New Years Day back on the road this spring with Lacuna Coil. They’ll also be performing at Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival.

About New Years Day:

Kerrang! Magazine counts New Years Day among an elite handful of bands inspiring the next generation. Led by “the vibrant force of nature that is frontwoman Ash Costello,” New Years Day unleash anthems of discontent and empowerment, delivered with gothic flair and theatrical bombast.

It’s a sound that crashed into the Mainstream Rock Top 40 for the first time in 2019 with a top 15 rock radio charting single “Shut Up” followed up by the cathartic “Hurts Like Hell,” which finished 2022 as one of SiriusXM Octane’s Top 25 songs of the year. Each successive victory is a celebration of hard-fought creative freedom, unstoppable determination, and dedicated fans. Throngs of diehards and newcomers alike sing and sweat along with New Years Day, at festivals, in clubs, or on tours with Halestorm, Falling In Reverse, Motionless In White, Ice Nine Kills, and In This Moment.

Saints and sinners, victims and victors. In sound and vision, New Years Day walk the line between darkness and light. The band’s duality comes to fruition on Half Black Heart, an unrepentant and unashamed album championing discovery, from the darkest secrets to one’s inner strength.

Unrestrained fury collides with arena-ready glamor, confrontational DIY passion, and melodic hooks. “Hurts Like Hell,” “Vampyre,” “Bulletproof,” “Fearless,” the title track, and the rest of Half Black Heart join an already impressive catalog of songs, like “Come for Me,” “Skeletons,” “Kill or Be Killed,” and “Shut Up.” Fans have streamed “Angel Eyes” more than 14 million times on Spotify alone.

Victim to Villain (2013), Malevolence (2015), and Unbreakable (2019) deeply resonate with listeners who cherish them as timeless keepsakes, marking different times in their own personal evolution. It’s because Costello, who skillfully conjures horror and comic book aesthetics as allegory, is one of them.

In cinematic music videos, transcendent live performances, and daily interaction (virtual or in-person) with like-minded misfits, this band makes pleasure from pain. Even when it hurts like hell.

The End Of Rage Against The Machine

A video discussing the apparent end of Rage Against The Machine, recorded live on Twitch. Discussion about the band, Tom Morello at the Rock Hall, and covering the Chicago performance in 2022. 

The End Of Rage Against The Machine

“I know a lot of people are waiting for us to announce new tour dates for all the canceled RATM shows,” he wrote on his personal social media. “I don’t want to string people or myself along any further. So while there has been some communication that this may be happening in the future… I want to let you know that RATM (Tim, Zack, Tom and I) will not be touring or playing live again. I’m sorry for those of you who have been waiting for this to happen. I really wish it was…” -Brad Wilk 

Abort The Supreme Court | Rage Against The Machine

“Rage Against the Machine, a legendary rock band, was formed in 1991 in Los Angeles and consists of members Zack de la Rocha, Tom Morello, Brad Wilk, and Tim Commerford. In 2022, they embarked on their highly anticipated reunion tour, which was unfortunately cut short due to Zack de la Rocha’s injury. The band had to cancel their European tour as a precautionary measure, and later, their North American dates as well. 

Sadly, drummer Brad Wilk announced in January 2024 that Rage Against the Machine will not be touring or playing live again. Despite the cancellation of their 2022 tour, the band’s legacy and impact on the music industry remain undeniable. They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, further solidifying their status as a groundbreaking and influential group.” [Perplexity]
