Alt-rock four-piece CHAPTER AND VERSE have released a video for their new single 'Ink'. A powerful and captivating listen, 'Ink' follows the band's previous singles 'A Devil In Blue' and 'Magazines'. 

“Ink is about feeling disillusioned with adulthood and the dangers that lie in obsessing over self-improvement,” says frontman Josh Carter. “The song is unlike anything we’ve done before and we've been really embracing the evolution of what we do. CHAPTER AND VERSE has become a vessel for us to properly embrace life and for us this song serves as a reminder that focusing only on how to be happy can actually give you the opposite outcome."

Check out the video for 'Ink' here: https://youtu.be/LpGlpjcx0Ys

"It’s been in our live set for a long time now," Carter continues."We’re at the stage where people at our shows are singing the words back to us without having ever heard the studio recording. It’s been a long time coming and we’re so excited to finally get it out there."

To celebrate the release of 'Ink', CHAPTER AND VERSE will play a sold-out headline show at The Black Heart in Camden, London, where they will be joined by Bellevue Days and Luke Rainsford. 

Full live dates:

18.10.2018 - London, The Black Heart (sold out - headline single release show)
25.10.2018 - Tunbridge Wells, The Forum (w/ Mallory Knox)

Becoming the best version of yourself can be a long and complicated road, but CHAPTER AND VERSE have been patiently taking their time. Their reputation has seen them quickly reach the dizzying heights of the 2000trees Main Stage, garner much coveted tour supports for Dream State, Courage My Love and Hellions, turn heads at the Radio 1 Rock Show and Kerrang! Radio, and even gainMetallica’s Lars Ulrich as a member of what CHAPTER AND VERSE call “The New Breed". 

Having released two songs in two years, this band’s abilities are far from being fully understood. 'Magazines' is an honest reflection on the emotional aftermath of the near-loss of a friend and ‘A Devil in Blue’ is an open apology to a loved one, but it’s their new single ‘Ink' that now has everybody talking.

Recorded in Athens, Greece, The Moon has Fallen delves deep into the realm of psychedelic tribal post-prog rock. It is AlithiA’s first record written entirely collectively with the inspired addition of percussionist Jeffrey Raul Ortiz Castro, who interlaces the album’s sound with Latin rhythms, celestial synthesisers, and distinctive secondary vocals. 

AlithiA, meaning 'truth' in Greek, was formed by singer John Rousvanis in 2004. Following the release of two experimental EP’s in The Rising (2009) and A Realm O Null (2011), AlithiA honed their sound with the ethereal debut album To the Edge of Time (2014). To the Edge of Time garnered international interest in the group, including Metal Hammer. Recently the band have embarked on a 29-date European tour with Leprous and Agent Fresco (2017; this was their fourth European tour), and 2018 saw the band tour Australia with Leprous, and The Contortionist and SikTh.

AlithiA have directly supported some of the biggest names in progressive music such as Animals As Leaders, Alcest, Dead Letter Circus, Ne Obliviscaris, The Ocean, sleepmakeswaves, Caligula’s Horse, Tides From Nebula, Mother’s Cake, Vulture Industries, and many others. The band have performed Australi's BIGSOUND, and at PROGFEST a record five times.

With their worldwide tour hitting European & UK stages next month TESSERACT have released a video for 'Juno', taken from their latest album Sonder.

The video for 'Juno' was created by Dark Fable Media and has been filmed in high definition 4K, check it out here: https://youtu.be/cOkeKKi-Oz4

TESSERACT vocalist & lyricist, Dan Tomkins, explains the importance of the track within Sonder: 

“Writing the lyrics for this album was a cathartic experience and I feel that 'Juno' is probably the epitome of Sonder. We wanted to create a video that symbolised the realisation of the constraints that are placed on life. “Juno” is the embodiment of that feeling.” 

The quintet will tour throughout the UK and Europe in support of the new record, joined by Between The Buried And Me and Plini on all dates. 

Ahead of the tour, guitarist James Monteith comments:

“Following our biggest US headline tour yet and an absolutely amazing festival season, we are super excited to take the Sonder World Tour to Europe and home to the UK this autumn. The support we’ve received for the new material from old fans and new has been amazing on this run so far, and we can't wait to play it to all of you. We may also throw in some more material that we haven't yet played! Plus, we're going out with our good friends in BTBAM and Plini, so make sure you get there early as it'll be an awesome show from start to finish.”

Debut album to be announced soon

Fast rising quintet SHREZZERS release new single and video ‘E.M.O.J.I.Q.U.E.E.N’. Featuring YouTube star Jared Dines, this is the first single taken from their soon-to-be-announced debut album.

Check out 'E.M.O.J.I.Q.U.E.E.N' here: https://youtu.be/h3tViA9H-X4

Hailing from St Petersburg, Russia and led by former Betraying The Martyrs drummer/vocalist Mark Mironov, SHREZZERS (the combination of Shredding and Brazzers) are making huge waves with their unique style of technically adept metal with pop sensibilities. Their songs and themes are based around the lifestyles of young people today in a fun and tongue-in-cheek way, and 'E.M.O.J.I.Q.U.E.E.N' is no different.

Mark Mironov explains: "‘E.M.O.J.I.Q.U.E.E.N’ tells the story of a guy who has been chasing a girl on social media for a long time and he truly believed that they have to be together. One day he decided to write to her in DM to invite her to his place and she agreed. When she arrived, the guy opened the door and he saw not the girl he fell for, but a cougar (significantly older woman). Nevertheless, they stay together and even create a common social networking profile."

Named after an infamous pornography website and the quintet's ability to play their instruments at lightening speeds, SHREZZERS have built a huge following in their homeland and online, amassing millions of views on YouTube. Previous singles Mystery(538k views), Vivacious (475k views) and Delight (208k views) have built the band’s huge fanbase which includes many notable musicians around the globe, some of whom will appear on the debut album.

European touring news and further album details will be announced very soon.

On the new album, mastermind Rémi Gallego comments:

"When I first started my journey making music as The Algorithm, I always had in mind making a record that would tell the story of my own self-development. A rich and cohesive set of pieces that put together would transmit the visceral need I have for open-mindedness and growth of the mind in musical form.

"Back then, I simply didn't know how to make a record like this. Today, Compiler Optimization Techniques is the execution of this idea, with the years, experience, and emotions that refined its core direction."

1. Cluster [11:43]

The Stratosphere Beneath Our Feet to be released December 07

'Hostess' single out now

Touring with Movements and I, The Mighty

New Scottish alt-rock trio Atlas : Empire are proud to announce their debut LP The Stratosphere Beneath Our Feet, due for release December 07. To celebrate the news, the band have also revealed their first single/video, 'Hostess' and announce a tour with Movements and I, The Mighty (dates below).

First premiered via Everything Is Noise, you can now check out the video for 'Hostess' here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYkm0vN79eE

Pre-order the album at: https://atlasempire.bandcamp.com/

The Stratosphere Beneath Our Feet follows Atlas : Empire's succession of three EPs, the last of which is 2015's The Stratosphere Beneath Our Feet Pt. 1 (For The Satellites). Since forming in 2011, the band have toured extensively throughout the UK, EU and through Eastern Canada, including supporting Tiny Moving Parts, The Pineapple Thief, Closure in Moscow, and Good Tiger.

The Stratosphere Beneath Our Feet is a concept record, centralised around humanity’s growing reliance on technology, and how this impacts our ability to have organic interaction & genuine communication. It explores how a society - dehumanised & disconnected - falls into disarray when this reliance is suddenly removed.
 
Each song is written from a new perspective, and the experiences each new person goes through, both before and after this mass technological collapse.

For fans of Arcane Roots, Black Peaks, The Twilight Sad, Press To Meco and more, Atlas : Empire are ready to stake their claim in the next wave of intelligent Scottish alt-rock. Soaring highs meet the lows of melancholia, complemented by figurative guitarwork and highly compelling atmospheric production, creating a highly impressive LP worthy of repeat listens.

Strangefruit to be released November 23

'Hot Blooded' out now

Liverpool rock duo RIVAL BONES have announced their new EP Strangefruit, due to be released November 23 via Alya Records.

The band have also released their new single 'Hot Blooded'. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/COzsYE6RMlI

Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/4FLyO1BeuUPrnk80w8tuCq

And pre-order the EP here: https://www.rivalbones.com/merch/strangefruit-physical-pre-order

RIVAL BONES are comprised of just two members: Chris Thomason (formerly of Boss Keloid) on drums, while the powerful riffing and vocals come from James Whitehouse.

The duo sit astride several musical worlds, bringing to mind Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, and Audioslave, all while showing that less is more.

RIVAL BONES made their debut back in 2015 with the release of ‘You Know Who You Are’, receiving airplay from BBC Introducing, Planet Rock, Kerrang Radio, Team Rock, Amazing Radio and Real XS.

Followed up by ‘Robot Girl’ and ‘Lost Along the Way’ in 2016, the two-piece began to establish themselves as one of the hottest rock bands to emerge from the North West in the last decade. In 2017, RIVAL BONES released their self-titled EP, signing soon after to Alya Records and playing Zandari Festival in Seoul, South Korea.

Upon their return the band were invited to support Frank Turner's Mongol Horde, Electric Six, Dead! and Fizzy Blood at their respective shows in Manchester and were booked to perform at Sound City Liverpool, Focus Wales and The Alternative Escape, as well as Amplified Festival and INmusic Festival Zagreb.

Now follows Strangefruit, a highly impressive four-track collection further showcasing the band's undeniable talent and muscle.

SLEEP TOKEN have played shows alongside Perturbator, Holding Absence and Loathe, and appeared at The Great Escape, Camden Rocks, Download Festival, Tech-Fest and Reading & Leeds Festival - an impressive feat for a collective who have only performed ten live Rituals since their inception. The mysterious beings also entered Maida Vale Studios earlier this year for a special performance for the Radio 1 Rock Show, and were nominated in the Best New Band category at this year's Metal Hammer Golden Gods. 

The collective are an entity unlike any encountered before. Nameless, faceless and shrouded in mystery, SLEEP TOKEN defy definition. Genreless and unbounded by tradition, SLEEP TOKENcreate music for all, which conveys our most primal, powerful, and peaceful emotions.
 
SLEEP TOKEN take inspiration from a plethora of artists: Leprous, Agent Fresco, Bon Iver, Meshuggah, and many more filter through the band’s mysterious masked mouthpiece. 
 
Metal Hammer, the Radio 1 Rock Show and Kerrang! amongst others are already initiates of the band, some of the first to ask: who are SLEEP TOKEN? 
 
Life is fleeting and will pass. Sleep is eternal. Worship.
