Social media reach for artists can be as low as low as 5% on current platforms, meaning fans don't receive all their updates, and bands don't reach all their fans, unless they pay.

Music fans can make a free account on Bandbond and never miss a post from their favourite artists again. With Bandbond, you will see 100% of all content that the artists you follow post. As well as native posts, Bandbond consolidates posts from Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, so you can see everything a artist posts in one place.

Masterminded by Martin Brändström of Dark Tranquillity, Bandbond has been created by the music community, for the music community, to take communication back into its hands.

Over 800 active bands, including Alien Weaponry, Behemoth, Employed To Serve, Lacuna Coil, Conjurer and Meshuggah, have already signed up to Bandbond. The app also features news and information from an additional 700 mirrored bands.

The idea of Bandbond was born out of frustration when co-founder Martin Brändström was in charge of the band’s online social media. It quickly became clear to him that the communication with the fans - that the band had earned over the years by touring the world and recording albums - now had a gatekeeper in the shape of drastically increased price tags set by the social media giants.

“The relationship between a band and its fans is unique and not something you can market like toothpaste or soft drinks,” Martin explains. “Without sponsoring a post you will only reach a fraction of your followers. It’s really kind of strange that someone can charge you to reach the fans that actually wants to be reached, and to make you pay for the display of content that you yourself, as a band, has created which generates traffic to their platform ...”

'Viper' video streaming now

Midlands-based alternative metal act Bad Llama have released their venomous new single/video 'Viper'.

The single's lyrics explore the nature of those people that suck the soul and life out of every situation; the parasites, the leeches, the rats, the vipers. Injected with a hefty dose of venom, the combination of melodic chorus lines with filthy, growling verses, are all topped off with ear-splitting metalcore breakdowns.

Watch the video to 'Viper' here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5OiHpy7CXU

The band comment:

"'Viper' is about people coming into your life with ulterior motives. All they do is take your time and take your money, mentally drain you, or play off your empathy. Even after you’ve given them everything you physically can, they end up chipping away at your mental state instead until you’ve nothing left for even yourself. ‘Viper’ is similar to the snakes hidden in the grass, just like the people you bring into your life that just do you harm, whether they realise it or not. And its about trying to take that sense of self back.”

With a heartfelt vocal delivery and thought-provoking lyrics, combined with an eclectic blend of heavy and melodic musicianship, Bad Llama continue to develop a very unique and recognisable sound. Complimented by a consistently explosive and passionate live performance, the band are becoming an exciting prospect among the unsigned circuit.

From debut LP Forget~Me~Nots out now

"sublime debut album" - Metal Hammer
"out of this world" - Prog

The hauntingly brilliant folk-prog artist Dikajee has unveiled her new video for 'Glorious Beautiful Magical', taken from her mesmerising debut full-length album Forget~Me~Nots, out now.

Watch here: https://youtu.be/bJsA9Gv-VB0

Purchase Forget~Me~Nots here: dikajee.com

The artist comments: "'Glorious Beautiful Magical' is a song of your inner source of strength, life. It's about your personal childhood memory or a place that you can come back to and charge no matter how dark it is around you. It might be a melody or a quote that brings your confidence and passion to live, you can charge from it. It's individual for everyone. It's scenery. It is like a "light that never goes out", it's a hymn of freedom and wilderness and gratitude to that strange thing that makes me feel part of something bigger than myself and gives me strength."

Such an 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 has 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.

Wallflowers out now via Napalm Records, purchase here

Progressive metal giants Jinjer have unveiled their stunning video to new single Disclosure!, the latest track taken from new album Wallflowers, out now via Napalm Records.

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/OhxisV58nJw

This past summer, progressive metal giants Jinjer released their most in-demand and successful album yet, Wallflowers, subsequently hitting the top of the charts all around the globe. In addition to several other top spots, the band landed at #7 on the German charts, #5 on the official UK Rock & Metal album charts, #1 on both the US Billboard Top New Artist Album charts and Canada’s Hard Music album charts, and #2 on the US Hard Music album charts.

Purchase Wallflowers here: https://smarturl.it/Wallflowers-NPR

Amid their livelyNapalm Records colleagues Space Of Variations, and their current nearly sold out North American headline tour with Suicide Silence and All Hail The Yeti – Jinjer pushed their limits and shot a massive music video for the album track 'Disclosure!'.

With a fiery opening, 'Disclosure!' cuts sharp like a razor blade without making any compromises. Distorted guitars, multifarious drums and an interplay of invading screeches and deep growls unfold the full power of the chart-topping title. The video verges on a visually played mind game, which seems almost cinematically intimidating, transmitting the feeling of strength across the screen.

Jinjer bassist Eugene states: “The track 'Disclosure!' and the video itself is a very important video for Jinjer. Not only is it one of our favorite tracks on the new album as well as live, our ex-guitarist Dmitriy Oksen stars in the video and was great to work with him again, even if it‘s in a different capacity now.”

On the video, Eugene continues: “Believe it or not it is not always easy being in the spotlight all the time … with each success this band reaches there is a huge amount of expectations from the outside that come with each step we make. From personal opinions to politics and now to the pandemic, our every move is scrutinized and judged by the outside. Although it‘s not always fun, we would not have it any other way …”

The new album Wallflowers is available in the following formats:

- Deluxe Box (Hand-Numbered Box, Limited Shirt (different sizes available), 7" Black incl. 2 Bonus Tracks, CD Digipak (Sleeve)) - Limited to 1000 Copies (Napalm Mailorder ONLY)
- Righteous Green, Black and White Vinyl (7" White incl. 2 Bonus Tracks, Signed Picture Offsetpaper 12" Booklet, Hand-Numbered Gatefold, Alternative Artwork) - Limited to 400 Copies (Napalm Mailorder ONLY)
- White Vortex Vinyl - Limited to 500 Copies (Napalm RoW/EU ONLY)
- 1 LP Gatefold Black
- Colossal Golden Vinyl - Limited to 500 Copies (Napalm NorAm ONLY)

- 1 CD Digipak
- 1 CD Digipak + Shirt Bundle (Napalm Mailorder)
- digital album

More formats and new merch is available in the Jinjer merch shop here: https://jinjer-merch.com/

Jinjer's exceptional precision of modern metal paired with tough as nails attitude has earned them a fiercely loyal, rabid fanbase and massive critical acclaim, making them one of the most talked about bands today and garnering them many sold out performances across the globe.

Since announcing Wallflowers, the band have graced numerous renowned international magazine covers, booked the biggest stories, sold out countless tour dates and their first two new singles, 'Vortex' and 'Mediator', both cracked the multi-million stream mark in no time. The new album not only presents a methodical and premeditated next step in the band's already imposing career, but moreover, it mirrors the personal adversities they’ve faced due to the worldwide events of the last year. Wallflowers is not only an upgrade to the progressive groove metal sound that all Jinjer fans crave, but also a sonic pressure cooker of technical musicianship, emotional fury and an intense soundtrack befitting the harrowing state of the world today. Hailing from the conflict-ridden Ukrainian region of Donetsk but now calling Kiev their home base, Jinjer truly do not mince words – or riffs – on Wallflowers.

To be released 25th February
Pre-save the first single, 'Journey to Narahmon', now

It’s been almost a decade now since Naxatras first set out from the Greek north to carve out the path fate had set for them.

Since 2012, the group have been honing the rough edges of psychedelic rock, combining heavy riffs, heady soundscapes, astral melodies and a deep appreciation for groove.

Naxatras now return, with their long-awaited and highly-anticipated new LP, IV, to be released 25th February. The band have today revealed the tracklisting and awe-inspiring cover art, and given notice that the first single from the record, 'Journey to Narahmon' will be released 26th November.

Pre-save here: https://orcd.co/naxatras_journeytonarahmon

IV is - fittingly - the first new music to showcase Naxatras as a quartet. It is a significant departure for the group, already celebrated across Europe for their jamming-based approach to psychedelia. The focus with IV is now more directly on songwriting, musicianship and composition - drawing magic from early 70s prog rock and master songwriters of esoterica.

The new album has gaps that only a keyboard can fill, so Naxatras welcome a new member to the clan: Pantelis Kargas. The whole operation of the band has changed - the previously trademark analogue sound has shifted to a more surgically precise approach, the orchestration multileveled and powerful.

IV is the band at their creative peak, with all their experience put to use, and you can hear the first glimpse of the record on 26th November with the exquisite 'Journey to Narahmon'. An expansive, mesmerising six-minute journey, with nods to Pink Floyd, Elder, Steven Wilson, the new track's wordless vocalisations demonstrate the power of Naxatras at its fullest.

Naxatras' musical imprint began in 2015, with their first album I. Recorded in a single day, the record was a best-selling underground sensation and welcomed with critical acclaim.

Shortly after the band went on their first tour, with live shows in Greece and five neighbouring Balkan countries. The second album - II - followed in 2016, with the same attitude in live performance, live recording, and fully analogue mentality.

However the road proved to be the band's calling - summer 2016 led to Naxatras' first full European tour, sowing the seeds of high anticipation.

An established act with the release of III, 40 more European dates followed, with a firm fanbase in every city on the continent. The album release show in Athens was to more than 1,000 devotees, a sold-out spectacle, and the subsequent tours included performances at Desertfest, Rock Im Waid, Duna Jam, Ozora and a series of appearances in Australia.

Naxatras are:

John Delias - Guitar, Vocals
John Vagenas - Bass, Vocals
Kostas Charizanis - Drums and Percussion
Pantelis Kargas - Keyboards and Synthesizers

'Vultures Hymn' streaming now

Deathcall LP available 17th December via Venerate Industries

FFO: Candlemass, Celtic Frost, Yob

Agnes Vein, kings of the Greek underground, have revealed their new single 'Vultures Hymn'.

Premiered via Revolver, you can watch 'Vultures Hymn' here: https://youtu.be/977ge8HCn0Y

'Vultures Hymn' is another glimpse of the veteran band's new record, Deathcall, released 17th December via Venerate Industries.

Pre-order Deathcall here: https://agnesvein.bandcamp.com/album/deathcall

After a 20 year career, Agnes Vein have found themselves at yet another crossroads.

The blackened doom trio, with a storied history behind them, are carrying the deep marks of 2020 as they look to release their huge new album Deathcall.

One could argue this is not the first time the seasoned band from Thessaloniki has come up against a tough situation. Forming in 2004 and releasing their …Of Chaos And Law EP the band have had a long line of shows, each leaving a scar on their process.

In 2010 Agnes Vein formed their partnership with Venerate Industries and released their Duality LP. Making a great impression on the Greek underground, the album manifested the influences of Bathory, Candlemass, Neurosis and Celtic Frost and was a landmark in the local genre.

Agnes Vein went on then to support Electric Wizard, Primordial and Rotting Christ, before stewing on their brilliantly dark Soulship LP, released 2013. The slow, heavy and bleak sentiment of the record however wore off on the whole band's existence and in the years that followed the struggles stacked up, leading to a change in line-up and a long, slow fermentation of their new record, Deathcall.

Appearances with Neurosis and Mantar left their mark too on Agnes Vein – both bands bearing some influence on the brilliantly dark, methodically heavy Deathcall. Elements too of Candlemass, Yob and younger bands like Conjurer can be heard – a brutal mix of doom, black and sludge metal. Agnes Vein’s standing in the Greek underground is a welcome reflection of the quality and diversity on display.

Agnes Vein are:

Foivos Hatzis (Drums)
Lefteris Kasmiris (Bass)
Sakis Kioses (Guitar, Vocals)

New album Heaven In Hiding out on 26th November via Arising Empire

Swedish metalcore outfit Imminence have released their astonishing season finale, a nine-minute short film featuring their new single 'Alleviate'. The track is another taste of the band's upcoming fourth album Heaven In Hiding, due for release on 26th November 2021 via Arising Empire.

'Alleviate' comes as part of the combined 9-minute music video that also includes previous single 'Chasing Shadows'. The outstanding cinematic project challenges the entire concept of modern day music video performances.

Watch the short film here: https://youtu.be/6RXAZ9cQLEE

Stream the new single here: https://imminence.lnk.to/alleviate

Guitarist Herald Barrett comments:

”I think we’re at the point where we could have released a music video within the regular concept. I guess it would have turned out fine and hopefully people would have enjoyed it - but what about us? Why should we need to repeat ourselves over and over again? I truly believe that outstanding creativity starts beyond the frameworks of how things should be done.”

Fronted by vocalist and violinist Eddie Berg, guitarists Harald Barrett and Alex Arnoldsson, drummer Peter Hanström and bass player Christian Höijer, Heaven In Hiding also includes the band's previous singles, 'Ghost', 'Heaven In Hiding' and 'Temptation', their highest performing tracks to date.

Pre-order Heaven In Hiding here: https://imminence.lnk.to/heaveninhiding

Heaven In Hiding is an outstanding collection of songs written with an unhindered manifestation of emotional outburst and sincerity. With an organic approach and honest creativeness, the group delivers an album where each song stands out in character and story telling, whilst still connected in a larger concept. The new record undoubtedly displays a musical and visual persona that instantly challenges the idea of how a modern metal act is perceived today, and acknowledges Imminence as ready to take the place as one of the genre's frontline artists.

Heaven In Hiding was recorded, mixed, and mastered in Sweden by award-winning producer Henrik Udd, who has worked on some of the most critically acclaimed albums with acts such as Architects, Bring Me The Horizon, At The Gates, and many more.

After the remarkably successful announcement of the band’s exclusive acoustic tour 'Live In Concert Halls', Imminence were granted a placing in Eventim’s Official Charts as one of the fastest selling tours in Germany. The quintet recently announced their biggest European headline tour to date, taking place in 19 cities during February/March 2022.

Imminence were 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 fanbase, as well as touring actively through Europe following the release of their 2015 breakthrough single ‘The Sickness'.

Since the release of their 2019 album Turn The Light On, the five-piece 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, a 100% increase in ticket sales, and venue capacities doubling during their last European tour, Imminence have reached new heights and show no signs of stopping.

Following the releases of recent singles 'Temptation', 'Heaven In Hiding' and 'Ghost',
Imminence have not only raised the bar of what’s expected from a rising band
in terms of production value and cinematic vision, but also gained recognition as some of the
most successful metalcore releases in 2021. Together with director Pavel Trebukhin from TRE
Films, the band have worked relentlessly on developing their unique visual universe with an
incomparable richness in details and grandiosity, in order to do justice to the songs
presented on their new 13-track album.

Imminence are:

New album planned for 2022

The self-proclaimed "Best Goblin Metal on the Planet" known as Nekrogoblikon have dropped the video for their brand new single 'RIGHT NOW'.

Watch "RIGHT NOW" here: https://youtu.be/0Ij38K5iCfk

The video also serves as a teaser for John Goblikon's talk show of the same name, which also features Blake Anderson (Workaholics), comedian/musician Reggie Watts, DJ Dillon Francis, and Tosin Abasi (Animals as Leaders).

"We're very excited to finally share the first single and video from our new album with you all," the band says. "Since the song JUST SO HAPPENS to have the same name as John Goblikon's talk show RIGHT NOW, we figured we'd also give you a sneak peak of what's to come in Season 4 amidst all the goblin metal antics. Hope you enjoy!"

The song will appear on the band's upcoming album, due out in 2022. Stay tuned for more details.

Season 4 of RIGHT NOW premieres on Wednesday 17th November, with special guest Blake Anderson.

Nekrogoblikon online:
Website || Facebook || Twitter || Spotify || Instagram

Los Angeles, California's Nekrogoblikon are melodic hard rock pranksters who deploy gnarly death metal earworms filled with crafty hooks, claw-pumping choruses, lightning-fast riffs, and over the top, EDM-style keyboard flourishes. With their ostentatious goblin hypeman John Goblikon, the band takes cues from hyperbolic horror-metal enthusiasts like GWAR, Finntroll, and Dethklok, while maintaining an affable, self-referential sense of humour. The group's early outings, like 2007's Goblin Island, were largely low-fidelity affairs, but by the early 2010s, Nekrogoblikon were operating at a far higher technical level, and employing a rotating cast of talented players.

Founded in 2006, Nekrogoblikon self-produced their debut album, the relatively lo-fi Goblin Island, in a basement. The LP was released in 2007, and an expanded line-up was quickly assembled to help flesh out the fledgling group's audacious live shows. The more technically proficient Stench arrived in 2011, and included the single 'No One Survives' — the video written and directed by Brandon Dermer (Panic At The Disco, Every Time I Die, Diplo, Dillon Francis) became a viral hit, and landed the band festival slots at Download Festival in the UK and Rock Im Park/Rock Am Ring in Germany. The Power EP was issued the following year, and in 2014 the band joined Limp Bizkit on the Kerrang! Tour. In 2015 they released the concept LP Heavy Meta via their own Mystery Box label, and in 2018, Nekrogoblikon issued their fourth studio long-player, Welcome to Bonkers, which was followed by extensive touring including performing on the entirety of the final cross-country Vans Warped Tour and Summer Slaughter. In between touring stints, the band (along with Brandon Dermer and writer/actor Dave Rispoli) released three seasons of RIGHT NOW, a comedic talk show starring band mascot John Goblikon. The series features a wide array of high profile guests including comedian Bobby Lee, The Used, Keith Buckley from Every Time I Die, Wes Borland from Limp Bizkit, and Joe Trohman from Fallout Boy.
