Indian synth-rock quintet Arogya have released their new single/video 'Misery's Lair', taken from their new album Genesis, released today 23rd April via Out of Line Music.

Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzPBq3BN75k

Purchase Genesis: https://arogya.lnk.to/Genesis

'Misery's Lair' is the prelude to the tragic love story shown in the band's previous video 'Broken', which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g23FvU-LMJ8

The quintet are the first ever synth-rock band to emerge from India and the first band from Northeast India to sign with an international record label.

Arogya worked with producer Chris Harms (Lord of the Lost) on their new album Genesis, which deals with the story of creation both musically and thematically: the past manifests itself in their propulsive synth-rock which highlights 80s nostalgia, while washed-out metal dominates the present and a fine pinch of dark-pop stands for the future.

Visual Kei elements bring even more playful light to the colourful potpourri of Arogya's sound. The profound lyrics, sometimes shouted in a soulful clear voice, sometimes in a heavy metal style with evil growls, deal with love, pain, transience, hope and the effort to escape the inner darkness. Genesis offers a possibility of catharsis, lyrically for the mind and sonically for the body, which also draws to the band's name: Arogya, meaning "healer" in Sanskrit.

Arogya are:

Swedish alternative metalcore outfit Imminence return with a video for their brand new hard-hitting single 'Temptation' - out now via Arising Empire. The track follows the band's Turn The Light On: Deluxe Edition and marks their first new heavy music in almost two years.

”Releasing 'Temptation' is a statement. It’s a huge contrast to our recent, acoustic era, and we want to show that we can do what we want, when we want, and how we want. No one can ever predict the next step from us, not even ourselves.” - Harald Barrett (guitar).

Check out the video for 'Temptation' here: https://youtu.be/m0LeILiafiA

Stream/purchase 'Temptation' here: https://Imminence.lnk.to/temptation

'Temptation' follows Imminence's remarkably successful acoustic tour, 'Live In Concert Halls', which granted the Swedish quintet a place in Eventim’s Official Charts as one of the fastest-selling tours in Germany. With no remorse or regrets, Imminence have now presented the heaviest and most extreme song in their history, accompanied by the biggest video production they have ever released.

Once again, the band teamed up with award-winning producer Henrik Udd (Architects, Bring Me The Horizon, At The Gates), who recorded, mixed, and mastered 'Temptation' in Sweden. Directed by Pavel Trebukhin from TRE Films, the video for 'Temptation' was recorded in Riga, Latvia, across a demanding seven-day shoot. The band takes us on an immense cinematic journey to accompany the single's colossal, dramatic sound, marking Imminence as a force to be reckoned with.

Fronted by vocalist and violinist Eddie Berg, guitarist Harald Barrett, drummer Peter Hanström and bass player Christian Höijer, Imminence was formed in the southernmost part of Sweden and have become one of the country's most promising acts, with their diverse sound embracing everything from metalcore to acoustic. Founded by Berg and Barrett when they were teenagers, the band grew organically with a constantly expanding global fan-base, as well as touring actively through Europe following the release of their 2015 breakthrough single ‘The Sickness'.

Since the release of their 2017 album This Is Goodbye, the Swedish alternative metalcore band have strongly established themselves in Europe as one of the most exciting up-and-coming bands in the metalcore scene. From a successful run of sold-out album release shows, to a 100% increase in ticket sales and venue capacities doubled during their last European tour, Imminence have reached new heights and show no signs of stopping.

IMMINENCE are:
Eddie Berg | Vocals/Violin
Harald Barrett | Guitar

Christian Höijer | Bass

Sydney, AUS deathcore quintet To The Grave have released a lyric video for 'Hear Evil, See Evil', taken from their new album, Epilogue, out now via Unique Leader Records.

Watch the lyric video here: https://youtu.be/U4qlpfpd3w4

Stream / purchase Epilogue here: https://orcd.co/epilogue

Vocalist Dane Evans comments: "Hear Evil, See Evil (The Haunting Of 2624 Dog Trap Rd). Highlighting a particular case in Australia, this song is a reflection on the Australian justice system and its backwards leniency towards animal abusers. As Australians we like to think that what is commonly seen in slaughterhouse footage does not happen here and that we are at the forefront of "humane" practices. Whilst whistleblowers and activists are subject to harsher penalties than the perpetrators, media scrutiny aids to help sway public opinion and our governing body for animal welfare being near useless - this story paints a perfect picture of how Australia treats our animals."

To The Grave are taking over Unique Leader Records' Twitch, YouTube and Facebook at 9pm BST / 4pm EDT, where they will be streaming Epilogue in full.

To The Grave's objective has always been to create sonically and thematically heavy music, charged with a grim, confronting message. Featuring their entire self-released debut album Global Warning, plus seven new songs, Epilogue is a huge 19 tracks of intense brutality.

After releasing the No Lives Matter extended play and touring Australia relentlessly with the likes of Alpha Wolf, Justice For The Damned and Gravemind, To The Grave put themselves firmly on the global metal map in 2019 with Global Warning. Closing 2019 as main support for Vulvodynia on their Australian run and opening a show for Cattle Decapitation elevated them further, earning them sold out headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney.

2021 is the year To The Grave take to the global stage. Be ready.

Scottish quartet From Sorrow To Serenity have released the single, 'Tell All', completing the cycle of their new EP, Trifecta, also released today (23rd April 2021, Long Branch Records).

Stream 'Tell All' and Trifecta here: https://orcd.co/fsts_trifecta

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/jgy0VeRyXvE

"This is a song for everyone who has been battling through lockdown, and our request to every one of you - embrace who you truly are, and take it to the world," says guitarist Steven Jones. He adds: "We all have such limited time together on this planet, so be you, take control of your own life and live for you - because no-one else is going to. Your time has come. 'Tell All' is our call-to-arms anthem. A song that never lets up, and piles on the energy. We're particularly excited to play this one live! Marking the third and final piece of the 'Trifecta', 'Tell All' relieves you of the doom-and-gloom tones of 'Shadows' and 'Red Mist', instead shining a light at the end of the tunnel, and reminding us to be defiant of the darker thoughts and 'voice' in our heads. We must do our utmost to find hope in every place that we can, and 'Tell All' is about finding that place within yourself, and embracing it. "

The new EP follows on from the band's previous LP Reclaim, released March 2019 via Long Branch Records.

Having unveiled their new and improved sound with stand-alone single 'Golden Age' in 2017, From Sorrow To Serenity followed up with relentless touring - including sold out UK tours with Jinjer and Heart of a Coward respectively - before announcing their signing to Long Branch Records and premiering the first single from Reclaim in February 2018.

From Sorrow To Serenity on Trifecta:

"Our intention with Trifecta was to create a series of songs that can be enjoyed both individually, and together in one combined experience.

Coming into the writing process, we knew that we wanted to explore new avenues, both musically and with the lyrical themes. Something we felt strongly about was writing lyrics from an introspective position this time and discussing our own personal, and interpersonal, struggles as people - topics we had only just begun to touch on in our latest album Reclaim. We felt with our lyrical content in past, we have had a tendency to almost hold our listeners at arm's length - discussing the bigger picture, and issues we all face, but never really letting on to who we are as people. With Trifecta, we knew it was time to lift the veil and express exactly who we are, to discuss our own experiences in life, and take our listeners deeper.

As with all stories, Trifecta has a beginning and an end. The EP brings 'Shadows', 'Red Mist' and 'Tell All' together in a connected, 3-parter, taking you from paranoia and defeat, all the way to and acceptance and redemption.

'Shadows' wastes no time in bringing you into our world, discussing topics of PTSD, depressive and suicidal thoughts, and giving in to defeat.
'Red Mist' brings rage to the forefront, facing that you have become your own worst enemy - and the pain and regret of losing control.
'Tell All' is the relief at the end of our struggle. Acceptance is the first step in finding peace, and we encourage you to embrace who you are and take it out into to the world, no compromise. You are good enough. You are unlike any other. Take control and live life for you - because no one else is going to.

Musically, we have found who we are and where we are at as a group, but we always want to push the envelope and strive for more. Bigger sounds. More memorable hooks. Better songs. This drive, in particular, led to much more extensive use of synth and orchestral elements, particularly in 'Red Mist' which features a full orchestral accompaniment throughout its duration, and in 'Tell All' which features the most 'clean' vocals in any FSTS song yet.

Our special thanks goes to Josh Clark for creating the 3 artworks which accompany each song, Craig Gowans at 12 inch media for his work on the EP artwork and single covers, Florian Kreutzfeldt for nurturing our creativity and steering us in the right direction, Manuel at Long Branch Records for his support in our decision to release this EP before the next album, Aurore Angelique for her merch design work, Ermin Hamidovic for mastering the EP, and to our family, friends and followers for supporting what we do. In a time when so much of our life is lived in constraint, we give you music that's free of any."

About Black Label Society:

Black Label Society bandleader Zakk Wylde wields his guitar like a Viking weapon, bashing out thick riffage and squeezing out expressive squeals as if the glory of his Berserker brotherhood depends upon every single note, which of course, it does.

Charismatic beast and consummate showman, Wylde puts his massive heart and earnest soul on display with unbridled, unchained, animalistic passion in Black Label Society, whether it’s a crushingly heavy blues-rock barnstormer or a piano-driven ode to a fallen brother. Each Black Label Society album is another opportunity to top the one before it, but like AC/DC or The Rolling Stones, BLS isn’t here to reinvent the wheel. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. It’s a brand we can trust.

Mighty missives like 'Damn the Flood,' 'In This River,' 'Stillborn,' 'My Dying Time,' 'Queen of Sorrow,' and 'Blood is Thicker Than Water' have amassed millions of downloads and streams. They are the soundtracks to sweat-soaked revelry, jubilant evenings that descend into bewildering mornings, and adrenaline-fuelled sports.

To many, Wylde is synonymous with pinch harmonics as much as Chuck Berry dreamt up the duck walk. Zakk’s signature Les Paul Bullseye guitar hangs in the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame. His infamous leather bell bottoms hang in the Grammy Museum. His handprints are on Hollywood’s Rock Walk of Fame. He’s performed the National Anthem at major sporting events. He wrote the 2013 Major League Baseball theme for ESPN. He even momentarily joined Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff in Guns N’ Roses. He is a playable character in the Guitar Hero games.

A lifelong disciple of Black Sabbath and the longest-serving guitar-shredder for the Ozzman himself, Wylde co-wrote modern Ozzy Osbourne classics like 'No More Tears,' 'Mama I’m Coming Home,' 'Road to Nowhere,' and 'Miracle Man.' Together with Ozzy bassist Blasko and drummer Joey Castillo (ex-Queens Of The Stone Age), Wylde pays faithful tribute to the forefathers of metal as frontman for Zakk Sabbath.

One part invading horde and all parts traveling carnival party, Black Label Society traverses the world powered by caffeine and cacophony. BLS engages and inspires audiences everywhere they go, on every radio dial they burn, inviting all comers to join in and participate in their brotherhood and sisterhood of hard rock and vigor.

Now ten studio albums deep, with solo records, Ozzy shows, and Zakk Sabbath tours all kicking ass simultaneously, Black Label Society rides ever forward, fist held high.

Black Label Society are:
Zakk Wylde - Vocals, Guitar
John DeServio - Bass
Dario Lorina - Guitar
