AMON AMARTH New Single &Music Video “The Great Heathen Army”

By

-
  • Amon Amarth

Undisputed kings of Viking heavy metal, Amon Amarth, have dropped brand new single, “The Great Heathen Army” today. The new song is the title track from their recently announced twelfth studio album and is accompanied by brand new music video directed by Pavel Trebukhin and shot in Riga, Latvia. Stream the new track HERE and watch the new video HERE or by clicking the image below. The new album will be released on Friday, August 5th, 2022 via Metal Blade Records. Pre-orders available now HERE

Speaking on the announcement of their new album, AMON AMARTH share

“The armada of the Great Heathen Army is at sea on the way to raid, but before we land at distant shores on August 5th we have a new single and video for you to feast on. This is the title track from the new album with a video we shot with the talented Pavel Trebukhin in Riga, Latvia. Who will you choose to fight with? The Vikings or the Saxons? Choose well and the Gods will decide your fate.”

One of the best-loved metal bands in the world, AMON AMARTH are firmly dedicated to aiming high when they hit the studio. Recorded with esteemed studio guru Andy Sneap at the controls, ‘The Great Heathen Army’ represents another bold leap forward for the band, as their trademark sound undergoes yet another skilful, evolutionary overhaul, both lyrically and musically. From the noisily rabble-rousing “Find A Way Or Make One” and the pummelling, pugilistic “Get In The Ring“, to the evocative fury of “Saxons & Vikings“ and the cinematic squall of the title track, ‘The Great Heathen Army‘ encapsulates the essence of this legendary band, while still allowing acres of space for new ideas.

Dropkick Murphys Release New Single & Video “Two 6’s Upside Down”

By
Ana Santos
-

Dropkick Murphys have just released the single and video for “Two 6’s Upside Down,” from their forthcoming album This Machine Still Kills Fascists, to be released digitally and on CD September 30 via the band’s Dummy Luck Music / [PIAS], with a special edition vinyl out in November. This Machine Still Kills Fascists is unlike anything they’ve done to date – a full album of songs that bring Woody Guthrie’s words to life.

“Two 6’s Upside Down” is a forlorn gambler’s lament, awash in love and loss, murder and punishment. Dropkick Murphys’ founder Ken Casey explains, “‘Two 6’s Upside Down’ is acoustic, but it’s still tough. It’s edgy and these lyrics are menacing. We just wanted to show right out of the gate that even though this album is acoustic, it’s still going to have some fire.”

The video for “Two 6’s Upside Down” finds Dropkick Murphys performing the song while gathered around the Woody Guthrie statue in Woody’s native Okemah, OK, interspersed with footage of the band debuting the song before enthusiastic European festival crowds this summer. The clip was directed by Dave Stauble.

Pre-order the This Machine Still Kills Fascists album here: https://dropkick-murphys.ffm.to/7reo1k8.OPR

Dropkick Murphys and their longtime producer Ted Hutt aptly recorded This Machine Still Kills Fascistsat The Church Studio in Tulsa (just a few minutes from Woody Guthrie’s birthplace, and the modern-day Woody Guthrie Center). The historic studio was founded by Leon Russell and was the original location of legendary Shelter Records. During the album sessions, Dropkick Murphys made a point to visit Woody’s hometown of Okemah and walk the same streets Woody walked. Retreating to Woody’s home state of Oklahoma to record the album had a powerful effect on the band and the creative process behind these songs. Ultimately, Dropkick Murphys had so much material based on Woody’s poignant lyrics that they recorded two albums, with Vol. 2 scheduled for release in 2023.

Watch the This Machine Still Kills Fascists album trailer here: https://youtu.be/bH_Zc8vX3zc

The band will launch their first-ever reserved seating theater tour– This Machine…Theater Tour–October 20 in support of this very special and powerful acoustic album. Jaime Wyatt will be the main support on the tour – as well as joining DKM on stage for the duet “Never Git Drunk No More” – and Jesse Ahern will open the shows. Dropkick Murphys fall tour dates also include a few U.S. fairs in September and a headlining slot at Punk In The Park in Orange County, CA in November. Visit www.DropkickMurphys.com for a list of tour dates and to purchase tickets.

Dropkick Murphys – This Machine Still Kills Fascistsband members are: Ken Casey (lead vocals), Tim Brennan (guitars, tin whistle, accordion, piano, vocals), Jeff DaRosa (guitars, banjo, mandolin, vocals), Matt Kelly (drums, percussion, and vocals), James Lynch (guitars and vocals), Kevin Rheault (bass).

Parkway Drive Announce “Darker Still” Out September 9

By
Ana Santos
-
  • Parkway Drive

Australian metal juggernauts PARKWAY DRIVE — Winston McCall (vocals), Luke Kilpatrick (guitar), Jeff Ling (guitar), Jia O’Connor (bass), and
Ben Gordon (drums) — are pleased to announce their seventh album DARKER STILL. The record, which is their first full-length since 2018’s Reverence, arrives on September 9 via Epitaph Records. Darker Still can be pre-ordered here.

Parkway Drive have also shared the masterfully cinematic video for “The Greatest Fear,” which features the band’s galloping guitar work, moshy breakdowns, and guttural vocals amidst a stunning backdrop that will transport you elsewhere.

“The greatest fear, the one we all share; this song is about the unifying force we all must face —death,” says McCall. “The goal was to create a song that saw death not as something that separates, but something that connects us all on our paths. Musically, we wanted to create a song that did this concept justice. It’s heavy, it’s epic and when it stomps it leaves an impact.”

“The Greatest Fear” follows the release of the video for “Glitch,” a frenetic exploration of the things our mind experience when we are not awake — but not yet asleep — such as night terrors and sleep paralysis.

In the kitchen of the Byron Bay home of Winston McCall stands a refrigerator, adorned on one side by a quote from Tom Waits: “I want beautiful melodies telling me terrible things.”

This, the Parkway Drive vocalist says, is a pretty good summation of himself. It holds true, too, as one of the guiding principles behind Darker Still, the seventh full-length album to be born of this picturesque and serene corner of north-eastern NSW, Australia, and the defining musical statement to date from one of modern metal’s most revered bands. 

Darker Still, McCall says, is the vision he and his bandmates have held in their mind’s eye since a misfit group of friends first convened in their parents’ basements and backyards in 2003. The journey to reach this moment has seen Parkway evolve from metal underdogs to festival-headlining behemoth, off the back of close to 20 gruelling years, six critically and commercially acclaimed studio albums (all of which achieving Gold status in their home nation), three documentaries, one live album, and many, many thousands of shows. 

“When Parkway originally started out, we all were trying to push ourselves to do more than we possibly could,” is how McCall explains it. “What you hear on Darker Still is the final fulfillment of our ability to learn and grow catching up with the imagination that we have always had.”

To understand that growth is to understand Darker Still, both musically and thematically. Those who thought they had Parkway Drive figured out — the unrivaled energy, the high-octane breakdowns, McCall’s trademark bark — need reconsider everything they know about Australia’s masters of heavy. Darker Still stands as the culmination of a transformative time that has seen Parkway reach new heights of creativity and success by eschewing the restrictive, safe conventions of genre and abandoning their own self-imposed rules in favor of a wide-eyed appreciation of bold new horizons. “There are compositions and songs that we’d never attempted before — or, to be more accurate, which we have attempted in the past, but not had the courage, time or understanding to pull off,” McCall reveals. 

And so while Darker Still remains irrefutably Parkway Drive, it finds the band sonically standing shoulder to shoulder with rock and metal’s greats — Metallica, Pantera, Machine Head, Guns N’ Roses — as much as it does their metalcore contemporaries. The album explores the concept of the “dark night of the soul,” which is “the idea of reaching a point in your life where you are faced with a reckoning of your structure of beliefs, your sense of self and your place in the world, to a point where it’s irreconcilable with the way that you are as a person,” as McCall describes. Darker Still unfurls like the great rock concept albums, from Pink Floyd to, most comparably, Nine Inch Nails’ The Downward Spiral, its 11 tracks taking in ruminations on society’s fear of death, isolation, and a loss of humanity in its journey to redemptive enlightenment. 

This is the Parkway Drive the band have been striving to be for two decades. Guitarist Jeff Ling says it best: “I’m really proud of what we have achieved together, and feel that as musicians, we have really ascended to new realms of class and ability.” 

Emerging from the darkness of the past few years, this is the true face of Parkway — redefined and resolute, focused in mind, and defiant in spirit. 

DARKER STILL TRACK LISTING:
“Ground Zero”
“Like Napalm”
“Glitch“
“The Greatest Fear”
“Darker Still”
“Imperial Heretic”

Shinedown – Planet Zero | Album Review

By
Gretchen Smither
-

It’s been 4 years since we last had a new Shinedown album release. This album was well worth the wait. It’s no secret that the last 2 years have weighed heavily on everyone. The prominent issues that have arisen during that time are confronted on this long-awaited album. Tackling topics like cancel culture, mental health, and media consumption to name a few, Shinedown has crafted another genius concept album with Planet Zero.

  • Shinedown Planet Zero

Expanding across 20 tracks, breaking down to 7 interludes and 13 full-length songs, Shinedown paints a picture of a dystopian world called Planet Zero, where inhabitants are consumed by the information media feeds them, losing their humanity and conforming as they’re told to in the process.

Starting the album off with high-octane hits “No Sleep Tonight” and “Planet Zero,” the band holds nothing back with heavy riffs to kick the energy levels up. Tracks like “Dead Don’t Die” and “American Burning” further drive this home by being absolute powerhouses. These are then balanced with a calmer and softer side found within “Hope” and “Daylight,” allowing for feelings of hope (hence the song name) among the heavy. Shinedown further expands on their musical abilities by offering a more punk-like sound found in “Army of The Underappreciated.” For fans of older Shinedown hits, “Clueless and Dramatic” offers a nod in the lyrics to Shinedown’s “45” found on Leave a Whisper (“Antisocial saturation got ya empty inside/Like you’re staring down the barrel of a 45”). The closer song “What You Wanted” ends rather suddenly after wrapping things up with what sounds like a marching band. The abrupt ending leaves the listener to gather their own thoughts on these heavy issues tackled throughout the album.

The 7 interludes that are scattered throughout give more context to the album’s concept. Starting off with friendly messages from a robot named Cyren, listeners receive messages throughout the album that become increasingly menacing, calling on them to remain within regulations found on Planet Zero. These interludes tie in well with the overall idea of a dystopian and conformed world found throughout the full-length tracks.

As a longtime fan of Shinedown, I’m incredibly excited about this album. It offers both the Shinedown sound we’ve come to love and appreciate, but also offers something new and innovative from the band. You will need to listen to it in its entirety several times in order to fully appreciate every little detail Shinedown packs into this album. While it’s difficult to pick which songs are the best on the album, the ones I recommend to really pay attention to are “No Sleep Tonight,” “Dead Don’t Die,” “Daylight,” “Planet Zero,” and “A Symptom of Being Human.” Guitarist Zach Myers has some incredible guitar solos on this album. The one found in “No Sleep Tonight” is one I just can’t get over. Although I’m not sure anyone wants to live in a place like Planet Zero, Planet Zero the album is a welcomed creative endeavor from this dynamic band.

Score: 8/10

Nothing More Announce New Album “Spirits”; Release Title Track

THREE-TIME GRAMMY-NOMINATED ROCK GROUP NOTHING MORE
REVEAL PRE-ORDER DETAILS ON NEW ALBUM ‘SPIRITS’
DUE OCTOBER 14 VIA BETTER NOISE MUSIC
PRE-ORDER NOW

FALL TOUR WITH IN THIS MOMENT
TICKETS ON SALE TODAY, JUNE 24 @ 10 A.M. (LOCAL TIME)

Multi-Grammy-nominated, San Antonio-based rock outfit NOTHING MORE have today revealed details on their highly awaited new studio album. Out worldwide on October 14 via Better Noise Music, SPIRITS’ 13 tracks consist of the band’s most focused, adventurous, and intense music, uniting introspective philosophical lyrics with unapologetically massive anthems. Pre-order SPIRITS now at https://nothingmore.ffm.to/spirits. Coinciding with the news, NOTHING MORE are excited to share the album’s title track “SPIRITS,” which was released today (June 24), across all digital platforms along with its lyric video. Stream/download “Spirits” now and watch the lyric video HERE. 

“Isn’t it interesting that we give the same name to something holy and something wholly intoxicating?” asks NOTHING MORE frontman JONNY HAWKINS. “The song ‘SPIRITS’ describes that very conundrum. When you drink liquor, it has been said that you are welcoming that pneuma (spirit) into your body.  Most of us have seen and experienced how alcohol (or rather ‘al-ghawl,’ which means demon/spirit) can make us feel.  It’s almost as if we turn into someone else when too much of the spirit has been consumed.  Sometimes it’s eye opening and can lead to wondrous life-changing conversations or bonds that would never normally happen…and sometimes it can lead to the exact opposite.  It may turn us into Dr. Hyde’s Jekyll and cause us to do or say horrific things we would never normally do sober.  Spirits are both a little bit heavenly and a little bit sick.”

Earlier this week NOTHING MORE announced a fall tour with heavy rockers In This Moment. It will stretch from August 26 to October 22 and include stops at several of the largest rock festivals including Blue Ridge Rock Festival, Louder Than Life, Rocklahoma and Aftershock. “The fire, passion and momentum we feel from our first tour back is insane!” exclaims HAWKINS. “It only makes sense to bring that same fire to the fall with a one-of-a-kind tour with In This Moment.” Tickets go on sale today at 10:00 A.M. local time at https://nothingmore.net. See full dates listed below.

NOTHING MORE were recently seen on tour across the U.S. on a co-headlining run with Asking Alexandria, who had to drop-off mid-tour due to health problems. The band relentlessly continued to lead the remaining dates with their exciting live show which saw the return of their infamous “Scorpion Tail”—a 400-pound, 14-foot MIDI controller constructed out of salvaged metal scraps by bassist Daniel Oliver that brings Hawkins’ electrifying stage presence to life musically. “It’s not only a wild theatrical display, it allows Jonny to manipulate the band’s sound using a series of levers through a musical instrument digital interface,” noted MUSIC MADNESS MAGAZINE (6/1/22). “It’s a big part of the show as the crowd went wild whenever Jonny took to the air.” There’s been no shortage of praise for NOTHING MORE’s fervent performances.  “If any rock concert in recent memory is sure to leave a lasting impression in my mind, it will certainly be the day Nothing More graced The Wellmont with their energetic, unapologetic, and absolutely electric performance,” proclaimed Asbury Park Vibes (5/31/22) journalist/photographer Anthony Vito Cosentino. “This is the kind of rock band you need to see with your own eyes to believe, and once you’ve experienced their eclectic performance for yourself, you will have a higher standard for rock concerts as a whole.”

NOTHING MORE gave fans the first preview of SPIRITS with two singles–their in-your-face rock anthem “TURN IT UP LIKE (Stand in the Fire)“and their  most recent Top 20 BillboardActive Rock radio single “TIRED OF WINNING” which is currently at #11. SPIRITS was co-written and produced by the band—Hawkins (vocals), Oliver (bass), Mark Vollelunga (guitar) and Ben Anderson (drums)—and their longtime manager Will Hoffman. It documents the tumultuous time the world experienced over the past two years capturing the desperation and isolation of lockdown, the spiral of substance abuse, the pain of broken relationships and survival in self-reliance while summarizing the overall story and mission of NOTHING MORE: Reflect, Provoke, Inspire.

SPIRITS Track Listing
1. TURN IT UP LIKE (Stand In The Fire)

And Official Music Video For Title Track
‘ROTOSCOPE‘

2021’s hottest heavy band, SPIRITBOX, have today announced the release of their first new music since their incendiary, chart-topping debut album, ‘Eternal Blue‘. The new release comes in the form of a 3-track single titled ‘Rotoscope‘ and sees the band bringing their unique spin to a more industrial, 90s alt-rock-tinged sound. The new drop is accompanied by an official music video directed by Max Moore which can be watched now HERE or by clicking the image below. The full 3 songs can be streamed HERE.

SPIRITBOX | ROTOSCOPE
Track List:
Rotoscope
Sew Me Up
Hysteria

Fresh off of a run of incredible US festival performances and their first full US tour with Underoath, SPIRITBOX are currently conquering the rest of the world one jaw-dropping performance at a time. The band recently played what is already being referred to as a legendary set at Download Festival, UK and followed it with two completely sold-out shows at London’s Islington Academy. The second of which saw the band joined by current America’s Got Talent viral superstar, 10-year-old Harper, who performed the band’s break-out hit, “Holy Roller” both as her audition for the TV show (watch here) and live with the band in London (watch here).

  • Sleeping With Sirens

Sleeping With Sirens fans, rejoice! The band today has made their triumphant return with the release of their new single and music video “Crosses“ featuring Spencer Chamberlain of Underoath. Not only that but Sleeping With Sirens have also announced a new forthcoming album ‘Complete Collapse’ to be released on Friday, October 14 (via Sumerian Records). Speaking on today’s news, frontman Kellin Quinn comments:


“I think “Crosses” is a great opening single for our new album! The song to me is about not putting yourself above anyone. I think we’re all just trying our best and we can lift each other up! In a world where everyone pretends to be perfect, I think this song is letting everyone know that we all struggle and we can all rise above it!  Spencer Chamberlain really elevated this song! Underoath is a huge influence for me when it comes to making music. It was an honor working with somebody I really look up to!  The video for “Crosses” was something I really wanted to feel light-hearted to counteract the heavy subject matter. Not everything has to be so serious all the time! The video was a blast to shoot, Brian Cox took my concept and really made an amazing video!  If you love with ears to see and eyes to hear, let’s cheers, and madness! You’re going to LOVE this new album!“ 

Prior to today, the band most recently released their track “Bloody Knuckles”, their first original release since their 2019 smash-hit album ‘How It Feels To Be Lost’. Watch the music video for “Crosses“here or at the link below, pre-order ‘Complete Collapse’here, and be sure to stay tuned for more Sleeping With Sirens news coming soon.
