On the single, guitarist and founding member Chris Pervelis states: “For close to 30 years, we’ve tried to expand our sound without losing the core of who we are, and with ‘Overthrow Creation,’ I think we’ve achieved the ideal balance we’ve been striving towards. The song hits you hard as hell, but there are also moments of nuance and melody that keep things interesting.”

The new track comes as the first to feature new vocalist Steve Worley, whose ferocious vocal performance combines both an old-school Internal Bleeding feel and his aggressive style. He comments: “I pushed in a few different directions with this one, and I hope it does justice to both the song and our fans. I can’t wait to lay down tracks for the next album."

Formed in 1991, Internal Bleeding spearheaded the formation of the slam genre, and ‘Overthrow Creation’ is a testament to that claim. It's not just a non-stop assault of Internal Bleeding's often imitated hyper-violent slam groove. Instead, it’s much more than what fans come to expect from the band.

Riffs are forever, violence is forever, and Internal Bleeding reigns eternally. The band can’t wait to break necks every night on their US tour with Deicide, Kataklysm, and Begat the Nephilim.

Leave A Scar album out today via Napalm Records

Virtual Dee Snider concert stream available now

Music icon Dee Snider has released new single and accompanying music video for 'Down But Never Out'. The single is taken from forthcoming album Leave A Scar, out today via Napalm Records.

Watch the video to 'Down But Never Out' here: https://youtu.be/AdaDjyWzuVQ

Purchase Leave A Scar here: https://napalmrecords.com/deesnider

In 2018, legendary heavy metal vocalist and pop culture pillar Dee Snider turned the heavy music world on its axis with his transformative album, For The Love Of Metal. Produced by Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta, the album re-cemented Dee’s undeniable prowess with its modernised mastery and take-no-prisoners attitude. Three years later, with one of the most collectively tumultuous times society has ever experienced behind him, Dee Snider triumphantly returns with his fifth full-length album, Leave A Scar.

Once again produced by Jamey Jasta with co-production, mixing and mastering by drummer Nick Bellmore, Leave A Scar sees Dee Snider & co. continuing in the invigorated direction of For The Love Of Metal, infusing a dose of classic heavy metal flavour that long-time fans will rush to embrace.

Today, following the album's charging first single of resilience 'I Gotta Rock (Again)', and hard-as-nails second single 'Time To Choose' featuring the brutal vocals of Cannibal Corpse's George 'Corpsegrinder' Fisher, Dee Snider is thrilled to reveal the album's third single, 'Down But Never Out'.

Dee Snider says about 'Down But Never Out': "I pride myself on the fact that throughout the decades, my music has always tried to not only push back against the oppressors (in this case Covid-19), but also lift people up and encourage them to fight back. 'Down But Never Out' is the perfect example of this ethos."

Like a scar itself, Leave A Scar is an illuminating plenitude of angst etched in time – serving as a musical refuge and expressive output for Dee. But in turn, this auditory time capsule written to express the anger, unease and pain he experienced during lockdown emerges as not only blisteringly heavy, but relentlessly powerful. Each of the 12 tracks on Leave A Scar not only further bolster Dee Snider’s position as one of the most celebrated frontmen of all time, showcasing that his vocal delivery and commanding swagger is as strong as ever, but that he is nowhere near stopping.

Heads will bang within seconds of the hard-charging opening notes of ultra-catchy album starter and lifer anthem 'I Gotta Rock (Again)', instantly setting the stage for the non-stop onslaught of metallic mainstays to come. Tracks like the brutal 'Time To Choose' – featuring the primed guest vocal attack of Cannibal Corpse’s George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher – and mosh-ready 'The Reckoning' showcase the album’s heavy assault, without sacrificing the harmonic goodness evident on tracks like the unrelenting, hooky thrasher 'All Or Nothing More' and melodic, metalcore inspired 'In For The Kill'. Energetic single of strength 'Down But Never Out' encapsulates the chunky riffage and driving drums palpable throughout the album, while searing 'Before I Go' provides one of the album’s most massive, memorable choruses and chilling lyrics. The album closes with victorious ballad 'Stand', a call for listeners to take a stand and make their voices heard. If For The Love Of Metal ignited Dee Snider’s eminent surge into a new era – Leave A Scar sets it ablaze.

Dee Snider says about Leave A Scar: “By the end of 2020, I knew I not only had to get back into the studio, but for the first time since the '90s, I wanted – no, needed – to be a part of the writing process. I reached out to my producer Jamey Jasta and told him I was ready to make another record. Leave a Scar is filled with messages to and for the silent voices in the world who need someone to speak out on their behalf. This is my purpose.”

Jamey Jasta says regarding working with Dee Snider again: “Getting to work with Dee again has been incredible! The power and range in his vocals on this album really shine. Not only is he an American treasure and staple in the rock/metal community, he’s a truly original voice and talent like no other. Combine that with the metallic prowess of the Bellmore bros + Russell Pzütto and Nick Petrino, you get a rockin’ metal recipe that even the most "Dee-hard" SMF’ers will surely love!”

'So Offended' streaming now via Out Of Line Music

One of Finland's freshest acts, Detset, have released their new emotional single / video for 'So Offended', out now via Out Of Line Records.

Check out the video for 'So Offended' here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e14MwktbPA

Stream/purchase 'So Offended' here: https://detset.lnk.to/SoOffended

Detset’s vocalist Sami Silvennoinen comments on the new and captivating single: "The song is about free speech. People can't laugh at their own life and think that everyone else is thinking and doing everything wrong. The song is about saying whatever you like, wherever you want. Don't be offended by somebody's words. Live your own way without caring what other people think. Also, remember to face every person as a human. Don't judge anyone. We have our own weight to carry."

Detset value the visual aspects of their music going hand in hand with the aural sensations, as vocalist Sami describes: "It is a very important part of Detset. We try to show our vision on screen as much as it shows in our music. Our inspiration for the visual side is the collaboration of every bandmate's mind blending together and it shows in our promo pictures and videos.”
He concludes: “Thanks also Carolin Büttner and Riku Seppälä who have worked on our pictures and videos. Their effort can't be understated."

Yet to release their debut album, Detset have already achieved an impressive amount, including appearances at Finnish festivals and performing massive support shows.

Lyric video streaming now

More new music planned for 2021

All-star modern metal band Imonolith return with a bass-heavy, self-released cover of Björk's 'Army Of Me'.

Watch the lyric video here: https://youtu.be/Afe5NXbyM9A

Stream/purchase 'Army Of Me' here: https://linktr.ee/imonolith

Says drummer Ryan Van Poederooyen: "Imonolith are excited to release our version of the classic Björk hit, ‘Army of Me’. I had an idea of how to cover the song back in 2011 and demoed it with a past project but never released it. I brought up this version to everyone in Imonolith, they dug it, so we re-recorded it with a few new twists. It’s basically a heavier version of the original song with some big modern day production. Jon did an incredible job paying respect to Björk’s vocal melodies. Musically, the chorus and a few other parts of the song get injected with some new energised patterns. We’re stoked on how it turned out and can’t wait for everyone to hear what we did with this classic song."

Imonolith features drummer Ryan Van Poederooyen (Devin Townsend Project), guitarist Brian ‘Beav’ Wadell (Devin Townsend Project), Jon Howard (Threat Signal), guitarist Kai Huppunen (Methods of Mayhem, Noise Therapy) and Scott Whalen (Econoline Crush). The collective of heavy-hitting players at the top of their game, released their debut album State of Being, in 2020. The album features special guest appearances from Jens Kidman (Meshuggah) and famed Swedish vocalist Johannes Eckerström and is made up of 10 hook-laden, riff-heavy tracks that centre around the theme of how people deal with various stages of life.

Even with their big album touring plans cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the band showed no sign of slowing, and recorded a series of play-through sessions. Watch them here: https://www.youtube.com/imonolith

With tour plans firming up for later in the year and 2022, you'll be hearing a lot more from this ferocious new act very soon.

From debut LP Forget~Me~Nots, to be released 13th August

"sublime debut album" - Metal Hammer

The hauntingly brilliant folk-prog artist Dikajee has revealed her new video 'River Rite', taken from her unique debut full-length album Forget~Me~Nots, released 13th August.

Watch here: https://youtu.be/5Cs4rtS1BbE

Pre-order Forget~Me~Nots here: dikajee.com

Of the song, Dikajee comments: "I first wrote it on my toy piano that I got for my 11th birthday. A couple of days after my grandfather passed away, ten years later, I was visiting my parent's place and found it there, all covered with dust; places and events of childhood sometimes have a huge influence on us, we may not know nor notice, but all the traumas and all the happiness of the childhood are somewhere there, always with us."

Forget~Me~Nots is a stunning display from the originally Russian-based musician, which throughout places her incredible voice front and centre. It’s a fitting tribute to an artist who considers herself a globalist. In her words: “I am a citizen of the world. No age, no nationality, no gender, no religion. I know we can’t completely run away from reality, but as R.P. McMurphy said, “At least I tried”.”

Such an esoteric, worldly approach is truly typical of this brilliant artist, and an album recorded throughout Europe, and with a truly international cadre and calibre of musician. Recording and producing in Norway, Portugal, Germany, France, Latvia, Russia, Forget~Me~Nots features guest appearances from Faun’s Fiona Rüggeberg (bagpipes), Klone’s Guillaume Bernard (guitars), Erik Truffaz's Artis Orubs (drums) and Amber Foil’s João Filipe (guitars) among others.

The international, collaborative outlook pays dividends across a record that showcases the best of folk, minimalist electronic, neo-baroque, neo-classical and truly inventive progressive rock. Above all else shines through Dikajee’s voice, a once-in-a-generation talent that recalls the best of Bjork and Kate Bush. Musically, shades of Steven Wilson, Nightwish, and Gentle Giant shine through.

Across Forget~Me~Nots Dikajee’s gloriously imaginative ethos is heard again and again. Track Four, ‘River Rite’, is a self-described “pagan ritual” song, which plays on the dual parables of the energy of floral wreaths, and of the wiseman by the river. The closing track, ‘Something Mystique’ is an exploration of the state of loss, and involved the visiting of more than ten abandoned grand estates of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.

An artist who previously toured Germany and Switzerland, opened for Yann Tiersen, Recoil (Depeche Mode’s Alan Wilder), and Nils Petter Molvær; and placed in Prog Magazine’s Top Unsigned Bands, Dikajee will deservedly have a bright and illustrious future.

'Lay Me To Rest' available now

New EP planned for 26th November

Playing Slamdunk on 4th & 5th September 2021

Punk rock outfit zebrahead have dropped their latest single 'Lay Me To Rest', the first track to feature new vocalist Adrian Estrella, taken from their upcoming new EP, set for release on 26th November.

Watch the video for 'Lay Me To Rest' here: https://youtu.be/MB7cXE8_Pxc

Stream 'Lay Me To Rest' here: https://listen.lt/ZebraheadLayMeToRest

zebrahead are going strong as they turn the page to a new chapter of the band’s long career. As they say goodbye and best wishes to vocalist/guitarist Matty Lewis, they are thrilled to announce that long-time staple in the punk rock scene Adrian Estrella is joining the family. 'Lay Me To Rest' serves as a great taster of their new sound and of what can be expected from their upcoming EP.

On his new position, Adrian states: “After knowing the dudes in zebrahead for years now and having played a few shows with them and already considered them friends, I was honoured when I got the call to join the band. Working together on the new songs has been such a fun time and I look forward to playing shows and meeting the fans."

On the single, he continues: “I am so beyond stoked to have you all hear our new single 'Lay Me To Rest.' I could not be prouder of the song, work, time and effort we’ve all put into this” .

Vocalist / rapper Ali Tabatabaee commented: “I can’t wait for everyone to hear 'Lay Me to Rest.' the song is about appreciating the time you have and making the most of each and every day. Adrian’s powerful voice really complements the zebrahead sound and I’m excited for our fans to hear the new songs! Chapter three...let’s go!”

Bassist Ben Osmundson commented: "The band came up with the idea for the video when 'Lay Me To Rest' was picked as the introduction song for Adrian. Since it incorporates death and moving onward, we thought it was the perfect fit for what was actually happening in real life to the band. We had to decide if we were going let one of the most important things in our life die, or if we wanted to use this hard time to re-energize us and reaffirm how lucky we are to be doing this for a living,”

zebrahead will play Slamdunk Festival on 4th & 5th September 2021.

zebrahead - Lay Me To Rest

Starting with the release of theYellow EP on indie label Dr. Dream in 1998, the buzz began and zebrahead signed to major label Columbia before releasing their full-length debut, Waste Of My Mind. Their second album Playmate Of The Year hit in mid-2000 to rave reviews, of which the album's infectious title track garnered airplay on some of the planet's biggest alternative stations.

Stupid Fat Americans EP was released as a Japanese exclusive the next year. The band spent the summer of 2006 on the Vans Warped Tour, and Broadcast To The World was released, an album that went gold in Japan in just a month. In 2008 the band released Phoenix, and Panty Raid followed in 2009, followed by Get Nice in 2011, and Call Your Friends in 2013.

Throughout all that life threw at them, zebrahead’s touring raged on and the band continued to bring their explosive live show to festivals like Reading and Leeds, Download, Southside, Rock AM Ring/Park, Summersonic, Punkspring, Fuji Rock, Groezrock, Pukkelpop, SlamDunk, Sonisphere, Hurricane, Greenfield, NovaRock, Area 4 and Highfield, to name a few.

Since their incarnation zebrahead has shared highs and lows, sold over two million albums to date, survived label changes, and earned a Grammy nomination from a collaboration with Motörhead. As they get set to once again bring their distinctive fun-filled sound to the masses with a new member, new music and lots of touring, the future is bright for the band and their worldwide family of fans and friends.

'From Soot' video streaming now

New album Vemod out 24th September via Long Branch Records

Swedish metalcore five-piece Forgetting The Memories have released their new single 'From Soot', the third track taken from the album Vemod, out 24th September via Long Branch Records.

Watch the video for 'From Soot' here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuNnl1kyFdk

Listen to 'From Soot' and pre-order Vemod here: http://smarturl.it/ftm_vemod

Forgetting The Memories comment on 'From Soot': "This song is about committing certain acts that can be the end of everything that you love. In this case, 'From Soot' is a story of a man who mistakenly burns down his home with his family still inside. In prison he's waiting for the end of his days, and he finally accepts death as his only way out so that he too, can be with his family once again."

Watch the video for previous single 'Mask Ov Lies' here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7MH9cp7KTo

Forgetting the Memories combine intricate, headbangable rhythms with melodic choruses that will have you singing along in no time, constructing a unique blend of deathcore and metalcore that is unparalleled in complexity and intensity.

Monophobia, their first self-released full-length in 2016, was a sprawling labyrinth of ferocious, hard-pounding breakdowns and catchy choruses, peppered with meaningful lyrics detailing deeply personal journeys through issues like battling cancer, losing a friend, and heartbreak. The band continued on this path on their first release with their new label Long Branch Records. The EP Known Darkness was released in 2019 and featured six songs, further confirming the band's rapid growth and potential.

Now Vemod, the second LP from the five Swedes, is a clear further development of the already known trademarks of the band and thus comes across even more intense than its predecessors. The 10 tracks on the new album, which was mixed and mastered by Buster Odeholm (Vildhjarta, Humanity's Last Breath), are lyrically haunting and deal with personal setbacks, world-weariness, anger and melancholy or wistfulness (= "Vemod" in Swedish).

Over the years, Forgetting The Memories have remained true to their particular style, yet have constantly evolved and defined themselves as a truly essential force within the genre.

Forgetting the Memories are:

Bastian Kempe - Vocals
Gustav Holst - Guitars
Adrian Lyxell - Guitars
Lukas Löken Olsson - Bass & Vocals
Johan Blomberg - Drums

Track-listing:

1. Beneath The Creek
2. The Solstice Rebirth
3. The Lake
4. A Voice In The Static
5. Mask Ov Lies
6. Cowards Tongue
7. From Soot
8. Cursed Earth
9. Komma Skall
10. Trauma

Debut LP Escapades postponed to 8th October via Wild Thing Records

Melbourne progressive instrumental trio The Omnific - featuring the unique line-up of two bass players and a drummer - have released their new single, 'Scurryfunge', taken from their forthcoming debut record Escapades.

The Australian trio's debut LP Escapades will now be released 8th October, via Wild Thing Records, following ongoing Covid-19 related complications.

Stream the song here: https://smarturl.it/theomnific

Pre-order: https://smarturl.it/theomnific
Watch the album teaser here: https://youtu.be/Ds7C-X0Rnwc

Drummer Jerome Lematua comments: “'Scurryfunge', true to its meaning, is a chaotic journey representing our many years growing as writers and as a band. Being one of the most collaborative songs to date, it mirrors the unpredictability of life. Transitioning from groovy bops, to fast paced crazy blast beats (an Omnific first), to all the way down to a mellow double bass solo (the next logical bass step).”

Escapades is the band’s most adventurous work to date, an instrumental mosaic that dances between the edges of progressive rock, djent, funk, nintendocore, and synth-driven electronic soundscapes, an aural experience akin to a journey to an alternate world through a dimension-hopping Tesla.

The album features a guest bassist performance from Clay Gober of Polyphia on the track 'Antecedent', with the record being brought to life by mixing engineer Adam Bentley (Felix Martin, Arch Echo), and mastering from Ermin Hamidovic (Periphery, Devin Townsend Band, Plini).

After releasing three stunning EPs the band have attracted interest and fans from all corners of the globe clocking in over 5 million Spotify streams and 2 million views on their Youtube channel. The Omnific’s accessible style is for all music lovers; from those seeking to be challenged to those who wish to be blanketed by atmosphere, creating an identifiable sound and diverse international fan base. With swirling textures, syncopation, euphoric highs and melancholic lows; The Omnific are truly captivating.

The band have established working relationships with reputable companies Darkglass Electronics, Neural DSP and Dingwall Guitars, seeing them represent the brands with performances at the Melbourne Guitar Show, bringing attention amongst the ‘Gear-Nerd’ community. Coupled with their online play-through, gear demo and music videos, the band’s reach is beyond what many would expect from this impressive Melbourne trio so early in their career.

They are also no stranger to the live circuit with a stack of domestic and international touring under their belt, having toured with Between the Buried and Me (Australian Tour) Cog (Sold Out Australian Tour), Intervals & Sithu Aye (European Tour), several of their own headline Australian tours as well as supporting Ne Obliviscaris, Galactic Empire, Circles and others.
