For fans of Bring Me The Horizon, The Weeknd, Billie Eilish

'Dizzyingly raucous' - Rock Sound

New alternative artist Kubrick has revealed his second single, 'Devastate'.

Stream here: https://ditto.fm/devastate-kubrick

Kubrick will be playing his debut live show at London's Underworld on 23rd April with TheCityIsOurs. Tickets available here.

Of the new single, Kubrick says: "I wrote 'Devastate' about those bands and artists who care far too much about their clout and how cool they appear to people in their little toxic music scene bubbles. ⁣It's not always easy to stay vigilant in the digital age we live in but if you are an aspiring musician, painter, creator, anything, focus on your art. Don’t focus on what everyone else is doing. It can and will only affect your success if you let it."

Kubrick has been performing and composing his music in various guises for over a decade. A child of two opera singers, and grandson of the globally-famous film director that bears his name, Kubrick was constantly surrounded by creative influences.

Kubrick's favourite artists and composers are those who created music depicting their experiences of pain and loss, as well as horror and sci-fi soundtracks. Kubrick himself is no stranger to tragedy, losing his mother at a young age and subsequently his close friend and fellow bandmember in Shields.

“Whilst the trauma of these losses is something I wish I could erase,” states Kubrick, "the perspective I gained from those experiences helped me leaps and bounds in my ability to empathise with others. As well as lay a foundation for the type of music I now enjoy to create”.

Kubrick strives to release the most authentic and unforgivingly personal songs which his audience can also interpret in a multitude of ways. Driving his sound is his unique cocktail of growling guitars and cinematic synthesizers which blend seamlessly with his multi-varied vocal styles. Elements of artists as varied as Bring Me The Horizon, Billie Eilish, The Weeknd, and Linkin Park all can be heard from this truly talented new force.

As Kubrick emphasises, “I don’t think I will ever just stick to one “sound” or “genre” as my taste is continually evolving. My songwriting will never be dictated by what people want to hear, or what’s trending at any particular point. The plan is just to be unforgivably myself."

Overdrive out 18th March 2022 via Arising Empire

Metalcore quartet Breathe Atlantis have announced their eagerly awaited new album Overdrive. Due for release on 18th March 2022 via Arising Empire, Breathe Atlantis complete their metamorphosis into one of the hottest acts in Germany’s heavy music scene.

Overdrive is available to pre-order in various formats here: https://arisingempire.com/overdrive

"Overdrive has become a turning point for us, which we all needed. On the record we process our past, in which we were often frustrated and depressed due to external circumstances. We felt limited and constricted by expectations or external ideas. On this album we just did what we felt like doing and wrote and shouted everything from the soul. This is our most honest and emotional album we've written so far and I think it will speak to a lot of people," explains vocalist Nico Schiesewitz.

Featuring singles ‘Changes’ (feat. Eskimo Callboy’s Nico Sallah), ‘Earthquake’, ‘Savior’ (feat. Imminence’s Eddie Berg) and title track ‘Overdrive’, Breathe Atlantis display a maturity on their new record that will no doubt skyrocket them to success. Working with producer Andy Posdziech (Any Given Day, Caliban, Nasty), the four-piece brought their true identity to the surface and wrapped it in a modern, aggressive sound.

"Musically, we just went the way that felt best for us. There were only two choices left: Start over or admit the end of that path. We are here to express our feelings through music and deliver the most honest and meaningful art. It just felt right for us to aim for a darker and heavier sound than ever before - this ongoing pandemic was of course fuel for the fire.”

The first new material since their 2019 album Soulmade, Overdrive is two years in the making and packed with bigger, heavier riffs and driving, forceful drums. Schiesewitz's relentless, bone-grinding shouts will send shivers down your spine, until the stadium-ready choruses hit you right in the gut.

New single 'Superstition' streaming now

DROP EP due 25th March 2022

"Fun and entertaining as well as incredibly polished and accomplished.” - 4.5/5 MMH Radio
"Loud, proud and with the killer choruses to carry a crowd." - Rush On Rock
"Hard rocking, high powered, energy fuelled live sets." - My Global Mind
"Sheer balls out, foot to the floor hedonism." - Rock Media UK

London-based heavy hard rockers Daxx & Roxane have returned to the fold with a new single, a cover of Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition'. The track is taken from the band's upcoming covers EP, DROP, due for release 25th March 2022.

Watch the lyric video for 'Superstition' here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs1zVYXoHgI

As a standard appearance in Daxx & Roxane's live shows, the band comment on the release of the new single: "The cover of Stevie Wonder's hit song takes a dive into our groove roots, and we'll forever admit that if it weren't for rock, we would probably be playing funk".

'Superstition' follows the band's previous release of legendary French musicians Téléphone's cover of 'Argent Trop Cher', the first ever to be translated into English. On the upcoming EP drummer Luca Senaldi explains: "This EP is our creative release in between albums. It's a way for us to exercise the music that inspired us and also to experiment with new recording techniques at our home studio. We didn't want to go for any obvious covers so we learned more than a 100 songs and ended with these four tracks that really stood out in our style."

The quartet started off as a thrash metal band and eventually found their sound in the New Wave of Classic Rock scene with their debut EP 4X4 (2016), first full-length album Ticket to Rock (2017), and the swaggering self-titled follow-up in 2020. Garnering support and attention from Planet Rock, Emerging Rock Bands and more, the band have also shared their explosive live performances on stages at Bloodstock Festival, Hard Rock Hell, Montreux Jazz Festival, Rockin' the Bowl, and have supported the likes of HIM, Biters, and Bad Touch.

Daxx & Roxane are:
Cedric Pfister | Vocals & Bass
Cal Wymann | Lead Guitar
Simon Golaz | Rhythm Guitar & Harmonica
Luca Senaldi | Drums

New album Revelation out 15th April 2022 via Spinefarm Records

UK headline tour rescheduled for April/May 2022

Stone Broken have announced their dynamic new studio album Revelation, due for release on 15th April 2022 via Spinefarm. Born from a desire to push themselves into new realms of musical creativity, Revelation sees Stone Broken storming into rock’s big leagues.

The band have also released the title track as a single. Check out the video for 'Revelation' here: https://stonebroken.lnk.to/RevelationVideo

[Please contact hannah@holdtight.co to request a WAV or MP3 for airplay]

Having partnered with award-winning producer and former SikTh guitarist Dan Weller (Enter Shikari, Holding Absence, Bury Tomorrow) back in early 2019, both artist and producer hit it off right from the get-go. Working remotely with Weller between Walsall and London, the band shared lots of new ideas, experimenting with aspects of electronic sound design and fusing different strands of their more straight-ahead hard rock with darker electro elements – something frontman, Rich Moss, and drummer/ backing vocalist, Robyn Haycock, had long wanted to try.

Revelation, then, is an album both for Stone Broken fans and for the band themselves. Between the enforced COVID break and the exhilarating new elements they’ve incorporated into their music, the band and their Broken Army are ready to take on the world.

Rich Moss says: “We had a completely different approach on this record compared to our previous records, we wanted to try everything, we wanted to experiment, we wanted to build our sound from the ground up and totally re-imagine the 'Stone Broken Sound’, BUT without losing what we already had. It wasn’t easy, not in the slightest, but we managed to break down a few walls to get there, and along the way had some awesome discoveries. Like Robyn now having more vocal duties across the whole record, it really works well and brings a whole new dynamic to our songs”.

Pre-order Revelation in a variety of formats, including special bundles, here: https://stonebroken.lnk.to/Revelation

Stone Broken have also announced rescheduled dates for their UK headline tour. Previously scheduled to take place this month, The Revelation Tour sees Stone Broken take another big step up, playing larger venues nationwide, including performances at the 1,500 capacity Electric Ballroom in London and Institute, Birmingham.

Profound Morality due 29th April via Church Road Records

Heriot will support Rolo Tomassi in February

New metal group HERIOT have announced their debut EP, Profound Morality, due 29th April via Church Road Records. In recognition of the news the quartet have released their scorching new single 'Coalescence'.

Stream 'Coalescence': https://linktr.ee/heriotmetal

Pre-order Profound Morality here: https://bfan.link/coalescence

HERIOT will be supporting Rolo Tomassi on their February UK tour, alongside Pupil Slicer. Dates as follows:

16.02.2022 - Southampton, The Loft 
17.02.2022 - Birmingham, Mama Roux's 
18.02.2022 - Sheffield, Network 3
19.02.2022 - Glasgow, Cathouse

22.02.2022 - Manchester, Club Academy 
23.02.2022 - Bristol, Fleece
24.02.2022 - London, Oval Space

HERIOT are a blistering, vicious, visceral new group, having made their mark with their titanic singles 'Dispirit', 'Recreant', 'Cleansed Existence', ‘Near Vision/Enter the Flesh’ as well as their monstrous cover of Machine Head's 'Ten Ton Hammer' over the course of 2021.

The band’s output across the last year has led to heads being turned across the metal world, all blown away by HERIOT’s unrelenting take on the new heavy. Fully-focused and with a razor-sharp edge, the awe-inspiring double-vocal attack of Jake Packer and Debbie Gough on vocals is all-conquering; the titanic support of Erhan Alman (guitar) and Julian Gage (drums) rock-solid. 
 
HERIOT have deservedly been grabbing attention with all four pairs of hands, weaponising metallic sludge and hardcore, unholy levels of distortion, speed and gut-punching talent. Elements of Nails, Knocked Loose, Code Orange, and Vein combine and collide to exhilarating new effect, to create a new sound that is truly groundbreaking, fully worthy of the notice the band are achieving.

In their short recent history HERIOT have caught the attention of Metal Hammer, Rock Sound, Brooklyn Vegan, Kerrang!, Revolver, and Knotfest, among many others. Acclaimed as "one of the most promising young bands in modern metalcore", HERIOT have recently supported Svalbard on their UK tour and will be performing at both 2000trees and Bloodstock festivals in 2022.

HERIOT are:

Jake Packer - Vocals/Bass
Debbie Gough - Vocals/Guitar
Erhan Alman - Guitar
Julian Gage - Drums

'Melt Into You' streaming now

Tangerine Tragic due 3rd June via Arising Empire

Modern metal quintet The Oklahoma Kid have released a video for their brand new single 'Melt Into You', out now. The track is taken from their newly announced second full-length release, Tangerine Tragic, due out 3rd June 2022 via Arising Empire. Known for their unique blend of genres, the avant-garde five-piece continue to push boundaries and break old conventions with 'Melt Into You'.

Check out the video for 'Melt Into You' here: https://bit.ly/3npeJWJ

Stream/purchase 'Melt Into You' here: https://theoklahomakid.lnk.to/meltintoyou

Whilst first single 'Pale Tongue' took everyone on a disturbing trip with psychedelic visuals and heavy rhythms, deeply influenced by early millennial industrial music and Neue Deutsche Härte, their second single 'Melt Into You' will take you on a cleaner journey, with more melodic heaviness bursting at the seams.

Pre-order Tangerine Tragic here: https://arisingempire.com/tangerinetragic

For the music video the band teamed up again with Pavel Trebukhin known for his work with Imminence, Landmvrks, and Annisokay, with Tangerine Tragic being recorded and produced by Jan Kerscher (Ghost City Recordings).

Guitarist Andreas Reinhard comments:

“We are always trying to get different influences into our music, that’s why we were looking for a producer outside our genre, to get some new input. When we first met up with Jan, we knew he was a perfect match to record and produce our new material.”

Formed in 2012, The Oklahoma Kid have consistently pushed boundaries with their breathtaking modern metal, bridging the gap between technical intricacy and energising rhythms. The band's 2014 debut EP Fortuneteller established their position within the German metal scene with their signature blend of genres.

In 2015 they revealed their sophomore EP Doppelganger, working with renowned producer Aljoscha Sieg (Eskimo Callboy, We Butter The Bread With Butter, Nasty) to deliver their signature bouncing grooves and futuristic synthesisers, complete with catchy hooks and singalongs. The band's unique video for 'Scharlatan', which was directed by Pavel Trebukhin (Alazka, Stick To Your Guns, Annisokay), also won the national PopFish Music Video Award.

2017 saw The Oklahoma Kid enter the studio to work on their debut album Solarray, a release that displayed the band's full sonic scope and capabilities - ranging from huge wall-of-sound arrangements to fragile melodies.

The Oklahoma Kid have electrified crowds with their passionate, relentless performance, touring with Stick To Your Guns, Carnifex, Evergreen Terrace and Hatebreed.

The quintet are no long an insider tip, they are a force to be reckoned with. Whether you experience them live at a festival or on record in your living room, The Oklahoma Kid will change your perception of what metal is capable of.

Krüller album out 11th February via Relapse

UK tour planned for February 2022

Author & Punisher unveil a second track from the outfit’s highly-anticipated new album, Krüller (out 11th February via Relapse Records); the drone-drenched love song, 'Maiden Star'.

Watch the visualiser to the 'Maiden Star' here: https://youtu.be/c52RTO8fvL0

Mastermind Tristan Shone offers insight into the track and its place on the album: “’Maiden Star’ continues the trudge of escape and survival from ‘Drone Carrying Dread,’ but with a focus on the vital interpersonal conflicts and triumphs that exist in times of war and peace. This track, my personal favorite from the balance of the heavy and the melodic, is deeply personal and painful at the same time. The first note both lifts me up and beats the shit out of me.”

News of the album’s forthcoming arrival was met with widespread excitement. Revolver, who had placed the album on their most-anticipated releases of 2022, noted how “shimmering, melodic, and gorgeous” Author & Punisher’s music had become over the years. On the first preview from the eight-song release, 'Drone Carrying Dread', Consequence echoed the obvious focus on melody that drives Krüller, saying “The presence of electronic beats, synth flourishes, and a triumphant vocal delivery make it one of the prettiest A&P tracks to date, though no less sonically powerful. "

Shone began work on Krüller after returning from his opening slot with Tool across the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand, before being cut short due to the March 2020 lockdowns. "Melody has been and is still a part of my sound," says Shone. "I've always bathed them in a lot of reverb, delay, and distortion, though. This time around, I was bothered by the wall of distortion I had created. I wanted a little more clarity. I wanted to refine the sound. I wanted to step back from my own show and analyze it a bit. I had all these competing distortions that I wanted to streamline. I like contrast and wanted the vocals to be immediately noticeable. There's something about mixing punishing drones and rumble with a mellow thing on top that I really like on Krüller.” Shone’s digitised snarls rightfully had their place on earlier tracks like 'Doppler,' 'Terrorbird,' and 'Nihil Strength,' but contrasting mellow vocals atop Author & Punisher’s unparallelled heft made dynamic sense. Indeed, with Shone’s singing on songs like 'Drone Carrying Dread,' 'Maiden Star,' and the exceptional translation of Portishead hit 'Glory Box,' Author & Punisher have projected an air of uncertainty around the steely, often slow-motion grind.

Part of the Krüller revamp included refining the machines that have become synonymous with Author & Punisher. As a result, Shone is also launching a bespoke audio gear company called Drone Machines to coincide with the release of Krüller. The gear company launch follows nearly two decades of Author & Punisher honing in on his craft - meticulously inventing, machining, experimenting, and creating custom musical instruments for his incredible live performances and recordings.

Krüller pre-orders are available now with the 8-song, 52 minute collection available on a selection of limited-edition vinyl variants that tie into the colour palette of the album artwork, CD, cassette and digitally.

More info on Author & Punisher:

Author & Punisher formed in January 2004 as the brainchild of mechanical engineer, artist and sculptor Tristan Shone. His innovation, and the unique way he has melded his seemingly disparate background, has been highlighted in a wide range of outlets, from Wired Magazine who dubbed him a “doom metal auteur,” to Pitchfork who noted he “literalized the idea of sound sculpture.” He has released seven full-length albums and an EP over the years: The Painted Army (2005), Warcry (2007), Drone Machines (2010), Ursus Americanus (2012), Women & Children (2013), Melk En Honing (2015), Pressure Mine EP (2017) and Beastland (2018).
