Speaking on the the band’s latest release, frontman Aleksandr “Alex Terrible” Shikolai shares,

“This song I wrote when war got started. I can’t stay silent about all this situation. We made a simple video clip just to say what we think about the war and wanted to post it as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out quickly. This song is not the usual. It’s not like us. But this is the cry of my soul. War is always a huge tragedy for everyone. Please stop the violence and this war. I know many of you wanted to hear something different from us. But right now we want do it this way and sounds like that. This is our message. I am from Russia. I love my country, I love our fans from there and I can’t believe it goes so far from 2014. God save us all. Stay human.”

Slaughter To Prevail released their debut EP, ‘Chapters Of Misery‘ in 2016 and followed with their debut full-length album, ‘Misery Sermon‘ in 2017. They released stand alone singles “Agony” and “Demolisher” in 2019 and 2020 respectively, followed by their second full-length, “Kostolom” released last year to huge critical acclaim with Revolver describing the album as “one bloody deathcore barrage after another” when including it on their 25 Best Albums Of 2021 list and Metal Injection stating that “Kostolom proves that Slaughter to Prevail can get hooky without getting wimpy”. Kostolom spawned massive hit singles “Baba Yaga” and “Zavali Ebalo“.

The band are one of the most popular and heavily featured bands within the YouTube ‘reacts’ community, on account of vocalist Alex Terrible‘s insane vocal abilities and his own YouTube channel which has over 922k subscribers. To date, the band have clocked up an impressive 36.5 million YouTube views and 305 million cross-platform streams.

Expect more from Slaughter To Prevail soon.

The Mars Volta New Album Out September 16

After the release of two new singles following a decade long hiatus, The Mars Volta, have unveiled details surrounding their seventh upcoming full length album ‘The Mars Volta’ due for release on September 16, 2022. The new album bravely challenges everything you thought you knew about them, delivering their most exciting, most accessible, and most sophisticated music yet.

Today, the band also releases a third single and music video for Vigil”, with Cedric Bixler-Zavala noting “And the obits wait for a perfect name,”. It can be seen and heard here:

In addition, ‘The Mars Volta’ is now available for digital and physical pre-order. Digitally the album will be available in Dolby Atmos and spatial audio, and physically on CD and vinyl with Clouds Hill holding an exclusive, kinetic version of the vinyl, which can be ordered here: www.cloudshillshop.com. A special, gold foiled outer sleeve with embossed art will be available on LP, CD and cassette. 

The new album shakes loose some of band’s long-standing shibboleths, with only two tracks lasting longer than four minutes, and the dizzying, abrasive prog stylings of earlier albums absent. ‘The Mars Volta’ pulses with subtle brilliance, Caribbean rhythms underpinning sophisticated, turbulent song craft. This is guitarist/composer Omar Rodríguez-López and singer/lyricist Cedric Bixler-Zavala at their most mature, most concise, most focused. Their sound and fury channeled to greatest effect.

Formed by guitarist/composer Omar Rodríguez-López and singer/lyricist Cedric Bixler-Zavala, The Mars Volta rose from the ashes of El Paso punk-rock firebrands At The Drive-In in 2001. On a mission to “honor our roots and honor our dead”, The Mars Volta made music that fused the Latin sounds Rodríguez-López was raised on with the punk and underground noise he and Bixler-Zavala had immersed themselves in for years, and the futuristic visions they were tapping into. The albums that followed were one-of-a-kind masterpieces, their songs of breath-taking complexity also possessing powerful emotional immediacy. After the group fell silent, a legion of devotees (including Kanye West) kept up an insistent drum-beat for their return.Now – a year after ‘La Realidad De Los Sueños’, a luxurious 18-LP box-set compiling their back catalog, sold out its 5,000 print run in under 24 hours – The Mars Volta are back.

Armor For Sleep Share New Single “Whatever, Who Cares”

Last month, Armor For Sleep delighted fans with “How Far Apart” – their first new single in 15 years. Today, Armor For Sleep returned with “Whatever, Who Cares”, further signaling that their upcoming album The Rain Museum (Out September 9th on Equal Vision Records) will combine the sound that fans first fell in love with and new compositional twists born of almost two decades of Jorgensen refining his craft. For the official “Whatever, Who Cares” video, the band once again linked up with director Jesse Korman (Hot Water Music, The Juliana Theory) to create a visual accompaniment that perfectly matches the emotionally charged, ‘edge-of-your-seat’ energy of the track.

Jorgensen explains the meaning behind the song and video in the quote below: 

“Whatever, Who Cares” is a song about coming to grips with the fact that certain wounds are inescapably self-inflicted. But instead of this being a song about having the strength to overcome these truths, this song is about the moments where just accepting the absurdity of it all seems like the least painful route to take. The video follows the story of a couple (the same couple from our “How Far Apart” music video) being subject to a strange experiment at the hands of a mysterious organization. Their relationship is engineered to end in repeated failure, and they find themselves unable to prevail, ultimately choosing poison bottles over fighting to escape the cycle. 

Armor For Sleep’s upcoming full-length, The Rain Museum, is 17 years in the making. It’s a concept album built around a post-apocalyptic world where weather no longer exists on planet earth and people come to a mysterious museum in the middle of the desert to look back on what life used to be like.  Originally planned as the follow up to What to Do When You Are Dead, the album had been shelved due to “bad advice” leading the band in another direction. Fast forward to the global pandemic of 2020, and the events of the real world encouraged Jorgensen to revisit the concept. Concurrently, his marriage of eight years began to fall apart, leaving Jorgensen to further infuse the science-fiction story with elements of his real life. The result is a beautiful and devastating 12 song collection that draws upon the best elements of Armor For Sleep’s catalog while incorporating elevated songwriting and composition. After a fifteen year absence from the studio, The Rain Museum will undoubtedly prove to be well-worth the wait for old and new fans alike. You can preorder The Rain Museum now. 

Tracklisting

1. The Rain Museum
2. How Far Apart
3. See You On The Other Side
4. World Burn Down
5. In This Nightmare Together
6. New Rainbows
7. I’m Not Myself
8. Whatever Who Cares
9. Rather Drown
10. A Teardrop On The Surface Of The Sun
11.  Tomorrow Faded Away

They will also be performing at When We Were Young Fest in October, joining a stacked line-up of influential artists from the scene that Armor For Sleep emerged from.

In Flames Share “The Great Deceiver” Video

Last weekend, Swedens foremost metal legends IN FLAMES tore down the stage at SLIPKNOT‘s German edition of KNOTFEST.

The band continues to surprise their fans — today, with a new offering of their mind-blowing skills: Gothenburg’s finest release the video for the brand new track “The Great Deceiver,” a crushing piece of modern metal, carving In Flames’ unique mark deep into the current scene’s foundations.

“‘The Great Deceiver’ was born out of frustration — basically a reaction to false flags. But since then, it has grown to represent several meanings,” the band shares. “There’s a line that says ‘Bend the truth to fit your opinion,’ and we feel that speaks a lot to the narrative happening online, between people, and nations, etc., today. We are more apart now than ever before yet it’s easier to communicate than in any other time in history.”

The band previously shared “State of Slow Decay.” Watch the video here

In Flames will embark on a U.S. tour this September. All dates are below. VIP packages are available here. Stay tuned for more touring news, as well.

Sunsleeper Announces New Album ‘While You Can’ out 10/7

Indie rock band Sunsleeper have announced their sophomore album While You Can, due for release on October 7 via Rude Records. The upcoming album, recorded and produced by Brett Romnes (Oso Oso, Hot Mulligan) and mastered by Will Putney (Counterparts, Knocked Loose), explores the darkness of anxious unfulfillment, substance abuse, and the trials of being a band in the era of constant comparisons and chart data. 

“The title of the record is pulled from a lyric on the record; ‘Feel what you can while you can,’” explains vocalist Jeffrey Mudgett. “It’s a reminder to be present and enjoy the vastness of existence while you can. Life is fleeting, and if you’re always looking forward or backward, you’ll miss the now.”

Fans can pre-save While You Can now at https://music.ruderecords.com/whileyoucan

Alongside the announcement, Sunsleeper has shared new single “Stay Home” with a music video premiering now on FLOOD Magazine. On the track, vocalist Jeffrey Mudgett explains, “I’ve always struggled with living in the present momentI often find myself either romanticizing the past or living for what the future could bring. This can be a detriment to those closest to me.”

He continues, “This song chronicles the ebb and flow of being caught up with future minded thinking, and the realization that everything I need is in the present moment. The song was inspired by my wife Megan who just so happens to be the music video director, DP and editor.”

Fans can watch the music video for “Stay Home” exclusively on FLOOD Magazine now at and stream here.

“Stay Home” follows the release of previous tracks Blemishes”, “Currents” and “In The Clouds”, all of which come from Sunsleeper’s upcoming album. Dripping with a 90’s inspired alt-rock feel, the tracks envelope moments with the mist of nostalgia and the power of dreaming. The tracks have gained notice from Ones To Watch, Hot Topic, Loudwire, Atwood Magazine, and other notable outlets. 

While You Can Tracklist:
1. Porch Light
2. In the Clouds
3. Blemishes
4. Stay Home
5. Anywhere
6. Quitter
7. Feel What You Can
8. Currents
9. Way Out
10. Thief

Sunsleeper was halfway through the touring cycle for their debut album when the pandemic halted live music. For the Salt Lake City indie rockers, that pause allowed them to reframe what their journey as musicians and people inspires them to create and say. After forming in 2016 and briskly realizing their Nathan Hussey-produced debut EP Stay the Same, the band entered the studio for their debut album, inking a deal with Rude Records. You Can Miss Something and Not Want it Back dropped in summer 2019, with the band celebrating with runs featuring their collaborators and friends in All Get Out, an Audiotree live session, and most recently, a run with TWIABP and Bent Knee in fall 2021.

While the pandemic still rages on in uncertain terms, Sunsleeper found themselves more solidified than ever writing their sophomore LP, with their road-tested lineup collaborating cohesively and with united goals. The band even found time to use the pandemic’s themes to rework Mac Miller’s “Come Back to Earth,” highlighting the track’s balance of self-reflection and hopelessness. (Sunsleeper on this recording is vocalist/guitarist Jeffery Mudgett, guitarist Matt Mascarenas, guitarist Cody Capener, bassist Jacob Lara, and drummer Scott Schilling.)

Sunsleeper is about to embark on a tour with Salt Creek. For more information and to purchase tickets, click here.

Halestorm and The Pretty Reckless Soar into NJ | Photos

After many opening gigs on the stage of PNC Bank Arts Center, Halestorm has swept into the Holmdel, NJ venue as a powerhouse headliner. The Grammy-Award winning hard rock outfit from neighboring Pennsylvania performed alongside a badass all-female fronted lineup featuring The Pretty Reckless, The Warning and Lilith Czar.

With three years of touring to make up for, Halestorm wasted absolutely no time kicking up the heat on their 90-minute high voltage set. “I’m back from the dead!” soared Lzzy Hale as the band took the stage, announcing both their much-anticipated presence and the set’s opening track. To say it set the mood for the remainder of the night is an understatement. Hale’s ability to oscilate between full out screaming to super clean vocals is always impressive. But Thrusday’s show wasn’t all bombastic. Halestorm brought the energy down for a rest during the fan-favorite “Break In.” It’s no surprise that earlier hits like “I Miss The Misery,” “Freak Like Me” and “Love Bites (So Do I)” got the most pop, as they’ve become rock anthems over the last decade, but the band had no issue keeping its audience on their feet and engaged through the 90 minute set.

Halestorm will be on tour in the US through early October before moving across the pond to Europe later this fall. Go here for all tour dates and tickets.

Photos of Halestorm:

It’s truly exciting to see The Pretty Reckless return to the stage after so many postponments and cancellations. The band used its time well in recording and releasing 2021’s Death by Rock n’ Roll, a banger of a hard rock album that has feels like a throwback to 2010’s Light Me Up. I for one, absolutely love the overall return to an edgier sound and aesthetic, since that was what I fell in love with all those years ago. While Taylor Momsen’s performance was raw grit and empowering attitude, New Jersey fans got a special performance of the toned down ballad, “Harley Darling.” An emotional song that guitarist Ben Phillips admitted to only having done live once before.

Photos of The Pretty Reckless:

The big surprise of the night The Warning. The sister trio hailing all the way from Mexico are on their first US tour, and turning heads and dropping jaws with their bombastic and magnetic performance. Classically trained at a young age, the trio made a splash on Youtube circa 2014 with their outstanding cover of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.” Now touring with a brand new album “Error,” The Warning is definitely a band to watch out for.

Photos of The Warning:

Potentially my top favorite musical rebirth of recent years, Lilith Czar opened up the night at 6pm sharp. But as early as it was on a steamy Thursday night, there were plenty of fans lining the seats waiting for their dose of female-empowering tunes from 2021 release, Created from Filth and Dust. Czar is not only captivating to watch, strutting like a dark Goddess wrapped in leather despite the 90F heat, she’s got a set of unmatched pipes that truly shines within the new landscape of hard-rock anthems. The 6-song set was far too short, and I honestly cannot wait to see her occupy longer tour slots. I’ll be keeping my ears perked.
