New album confirmed for later this year

Band supporting My Chemical Romance on upcoming reunion shows

Hyper-melodic, epic rock trio LostAlone have released their new single 'Punchline Punched Back', out now via Dharma Records. The band have also confirmed a new album is on the way later this year. 

Check out 'Punchline Punched Back' here: https://youtu.be/KZXVH7dauGY

Stream/purchase 'Punchline Punched Back' here: https://ffm.to/punchline

'Punchline Punched Back' was recorded during the first COVID-19 lockdown, while vocalist Steven Battelle was shielding in isolation. The band virtually teamed up with producer Greg Wells (Deftones/Twenty One Pilots/The Greatest Showman/In The Heights/Adele), who they had worked with previously, to mix the single. 

Battelle explains: "I was dealing with some major toxicity and this song was a way of exorcising myself from it. Feeling like I was recusing myself from life and spending too much time in fantasy - hence the reference to Rekall, the virtual vacation centre in Total Recall (the Arnie version)." 

'Punchline Punched Back' follows LostAlone's comeback single, 'The Last Drop Of Forever', which marked the band's first new music since their 2014 album Shapes of Screams.

The trio surprised fans with their return in March - eight years since they originally split. They announced their comeback alongside news of supporting My Chemical Romance at three shows in May. 

On supporting My Chemical Romance, Battelle says: "We’ve always had such a kinship between our bands, so I was over the moon when they asked us to join them for some of these huge shows. My Chemical Romance fans are some of the most passionate and welcoming audiences I’ve ever played to, so I’m excited to meet them again."

Battelle comments on the band's return: "The three of us are buzzing to be back making music again together. I didn’t realise until recently that a part of me had been lying dormant these last few years, but now - without wanting to pre-empt the future - I feel like I’ve that part of me back for good."

LostAlone will play a sold-out hometown headline show tonight (13th May) in Derby, which precedes their shows with My Chemical Romance. 

Full dates:

13.05.2022 - Derby, The Venue (headline) SOLD OUT
17.05.2022 - St Austell, Eden Project (w/ My Chemical Romance)
19.05.2022 - Milton Keynes, MK Dons Stadium (w/ My Chemical Romance)

'Alone' out now via Arising Empire

Post-hardcore/metalcore quartet Awake The Dreamer return with their brand new single 'Alone', out now via Arising Empire. Starting a new chapter, 'Alone' is a stellar comeback from one of the most promising bands in Sweden.

Check out the video for 'Alone' here: https://youtu.be/3a5uc8f58UE

Stream/purchase 'Alone' here: https://arisingempire.com/alone

Guitarist Alexander Backman comments:

"We've been taking time off to really focus on merging the new sound of our band, as well as keeping the parts that will always be what Awake The Dreamer is all about. We are super excited to present 'Alone' as the first release in the new era of the band."

Formed through childhood and high school friendships in 2015, Stockholm-based quartet Awake The Dreamer released their Grow EP the following year, leading to tours in Europe and Asia alongside bands including Ice Nine Kills, Northlane, Adept and Crystal Lake.

In 2019, Awake The Dreamer released their debut album Damaged Souls via Arising Empire. The 10-track release featured guest appearances from Adept's Robert Ljung ('Vigilant') and Crystal Lake's Ryo Kinoshita in ('Atmosphere').

Bassist/vocalist Benjamin Turesson adds:

"Being a small band that didn't even have an album out by the time we had toured Europe and Asia finally caught up to us, then the pandemic hit. Like that wasn't enough, unfortunately we had former members leave the band, so it became natural for us to just start from scratch in order to redevelop a new sound. A sound which we are really happy and proud of. It feels great to start releasing music again and we are really excited to be back."

Awake The Dreamer are:

Max Andrén | Vocals
Benjamin Turesson | Bass / Vocals
Victor Sandberg | Guitar
Alexander Backman | Guitar

New album Kodak out 3rd June 2022 via Rude Records/Equal Vision Records

Indie-rock quartet All Get Out have released their new single 'AA Almanac'. The track is another glimpse into the band's upcoming album Kodak, due for release on 3rd June 2022 via Rude Records (UK/EU) / Equal Vision Records (ROW). A blistering journey that finds All Get Out at home in their loud, raucous sound, 'AA Almanac' continues to explore the album’s themes of small town life, while integrating Southern rock aesthetics. 

Check out 'AA Almanac' here: https://youtu.be/Dki4dTkJtsE

Stream/purchase 'AA Almanac' here: https://allgetout.lnk.to/AAalmanac

All Get Out's first full-length offering since 2018's No Bouquet, Kodak is an album centred around the concept of small town living in America and how they — along with its people who stay behind — continue to remain frozen in time.

As much as you can try, you can never fully run away from who you are, because it'll always be part of who you are. It's in your soul, your heart, your essence. That sense of resigned futility is something that All Get Out have captured on their touching new album, Kodak.

Formed in Charleston, SC in 2007, frontman Nathan Hussey is the only original member left in the band, joined by guitarist Kyle Samuel, drummer Dominic Nastasi and bassist James Gibson. And while Hussey and Nastasi really fleshed out the demos between them before recording the bulk of the songs in May 2021, a conscious decision was made this time around to also incorporate the same kind of approach Hussey had taken with the two solo albums he’s released.

“We wanted to make a record where I got my voice, as the writer, heard first – and then we tacked on everything else,” Hussey says. “It’s means this is more of a songwritery record, and that’s on purpose.” It’s a method that suits the introspective nature of the record perfectly.

Having uprooted from South Carolina to Texas, Hussey recently found himself moving back to his home state. He says that’s not the reason why the theme of the record is centred around the idea of small American towns like Sumter – and everything good and bad that they represent – but they’re nevertheless infused with his experiences and memories of them.

“A lot of the record came out to be about growing up in small towns that don’t move,” explains Hussey. “There are these little American towns that just haven’t evolved, and that’s on purpose — the way Bubba still has a Confederate flag on his pickup truck, or how friends and members of my family have perpetuated the small town thing of having kids at 18 and doing drugs. It’s just this cycle that keeps happening.”

Throughout the course of these 10 tracks, Hussey immerses himself in the history of his home state, and in a weird, ironic way, it’s here – back at the start but while trying to get away from it – that he found both himself and the closest manifestation of what he’s always wanted All Get Out to be. As such, it’s fitting that, with final song 'Know Your Tell', Kodak ends where it began — in a car, with nothing answered and nowhere to go but both forward and back at the same time. And just like a photograph, it’s a physical snapshot of the past that also exists now, in the moment.

“This album is either who I am or where I came from or a combination of both,” says Hussey. “I’m very slow to evolve, and that’s part of the record as well. Not to get too meta, but it takes me a long time in life to get there sometimes. I don’t know if I manage to reconcile my past with my present, but it’s definitely been brought to attention – and that’s what was so important about this record.”

All Get Out will embark on a US tour supporting Motion City Soundtrack in June and July - dates can be found below.

'A Place to Exist' video streaming now

IT album due for release 15th July via Unique Leader Records

Progressive death metal pioneers Deathbringer have unveiled their latest single 'A Place To Exist', taken from their upcoming album IT, due for release on 15th July via Unique Leader Records.

Watch the music video to 'A Place To Exist' here: https://youtu.be/eD8CssjohXY

On the new track, guitarist and songwriter Artyom Serdyuk states: "We are very excited to present our next single to you, 'A Place To Exist'. The main character of the song is a misanthrope who is disappointed in life, faith and everything that surrounds him. He is witnessing the devourment of our reality by a certain dark entity which in his eyes becomes his redeemer and gives him a new hope. He welcomes this abyss becoming a preacher of the new life which he believes is going to come after the destruction of our world.

"Musically this track is a transition between our debut album and our new creation, melodiousness and brutality merge together; there is enough technicality, time signatures and tempo changes, growls and scream vocals. Outro solo is performed by one of our special guests on the album – Mariusz “Thrufel” Domaradzki (Masachist, ex-Yattering, ex-Azarath)."

On the video, Artyom continues: Just like with our previous single 'Inevitability' the video for this one was directed by iconic studio Grupa 13 from Poland, which is known for their work with Behemoth, Kreator, Arch Enemy, Decapitated, Dark Funeral, Samael and many others. The band footage was filmed by Marcin Halerz GFX, who worked with Decapitated, Hate, Kampfar, Nordjevel, etc. This is a continuation of the story you’ve seen in 'Inevitability' video, both clips have a common concept which in its own individual way portrays the darkness, hopelessness and desperation depicted in our forthcoming album IT."

This follows previous single 'Inevitability (IT's Whip)', watch the video here: https://youtu.be/7ldYnx_RedE

Formed in 2002 by guitarist Artyom Serdyuk, Deathbringer have toured across the globe sharing stages with Behemoth, Hate, Parricide, Dead Infection, and many more. Their debut album, Homo Divisis, came in 2007 and subsequently saw the band embark on their first European headline tour the following year to rave reviews.

IT emerges as the band's sophomore record which initially began in 2013, but due to health issues, personal lives, and a global pandemic, had to be postponed. Now, with guest appearances from Bobby Koelble (Death), Tommy Talamanca (Sadist), and Mariusz Domaradzki (Masachist, Yattering, Azarath), IT will finally see the light of day.

Trapped LP to be released 20th May

Highly-rated French melodic hardcore quartet, The Amsterdam Red Light District (TARLD), have revealed their brand new single 'Threatened Generation'. The opening track is taken from their upcoming full-length release, Trapped, and will be released 20th May.

Watch the music video for 'Threatened Generation' here: https://youtu.be/C0jLaY7T9kQ

Guitarist Maxime Comby explains:

"'Threatened Generation' is a catchy and powerful track that highlights how we are all part of a threatened generation. It's time to move the lines and become aware of the things that bring chaos to our lives; industry stakeholders, crooked governments, media misinformation. We are threatened, but we (the people) are not fooled: you cannot teach what you never learned!"

On the new single, which also includes Yukina from Japanese metal band HANABIE on guest vocals, the band comment:

"This song is written from a kid's point of view growing up in today's society. He sees and knows that he will evolve in a difficult world, and feels threatened and wants to find solutions. We're facing more and more difficulties moving forward together on this planet, and our actions have terrible consequences for future generations."

'Threatened Generation' follows TARLD's searing previous singles 'Trapped', 'Happy Ending' and 'Good Intentions', featuring Drew York from Stray From The Path. View here: https://youtu.be/hfPHU6ABfCU

A bastion of righteous anger in their home country, TARLD are widely-regarded following the release of the debut Gone For a While and their second LP Sapere Aude. Hailing from Lyon, the band are first and foremost a live band; a frenzied tour-de-force of melodic energy. Influenced by bands such as Refused, Fever 333, Raised Fist and their collaborators in Stray From The Path, TARLD have shared the stage with many big names in the punk scene, touring Europe and Japan and performing at Hellfest, Jera on Air, Resurrection Festival, Groezrock and many more.

Primarily inspired by Enlightenment values, TARLD's music advocates liberty, progress, tolerance and fraternity. The band now return with their thumping new record Trapped, which features Drew York, Yukina from Japanese metalcore band Hanabie, and Mat Bastard from acclaimed French rock band Skip the Use.

TARLD are:
Elio Sxone – Vocals
Maxime Comby – Guitars
Gregory Clert – Bass

Absolvere album out now via Unique Leader

US modern deathcore heavyweights Signs of the Swarm have unveiled a remix version of their track 'Dreaming Desecration', taken from their new album Absolvere, out now via Unique Leader.

The video for the track, mixed by Federico Ascari, can be watched here: https://youtu.be/CBuYRf5xryk
[Viewer discretion is advised; contains references to drug addiction, substance abuse, and domestic violence.]

Commenting on the new single, the band state:
“Inspired by artists Deftones and Northlane, we are proud to present Federico Ascari’s remix of 'Dreaming Desecration' featuring our long time friend Meredith Henderson of VCTMS!

With this release, we would like to acknowledge that this will be our last release with Unique Leader Records. After six beautiful years together, we thank you for treating us as if we were family. We will treasure our experiences and friendships through the rest of our lives. We wish the best as we push forward.

To every end, there is a new beginning.
Stay tuned!”

Get Absolvere here: https://orcd.co/absolvere

This follows previous singles 'Hymns Ov Invocation', 'Death Whistle' and 'Hollow Prison' featuring Alex Erian of Despised Icon.

On fourth LP Absolvere, Signs of the Swarm are bleak without being blackened, smashing without being slam, and downtempo as a choice rather than a stylistic confine. They contrast that with some of the most brutal moments in their seven-year career, with riffs more punishing than pensive and a rhythm section that frames them in creatively cacophonic ways. Above it all, they’re utilising vocalist David Simonich's monstrous range in a much fuller capacity than on his debut, 2019’s Vital Deprivation. That transitional album found the band experimenting to re-find their footing. Though the addition of guitarist Jeff Russo could suggest growing pains, they sound more confident than ever with Simonich’s former Improvidence bandmate sliding right in.

Simonich roars about the real (loved ones struggling with addiction, submitting one’s self wholly to art despite negativity swirling about) and the surreal; he or his characters beg for the release of death only to be denied. The album's finishing touch is Ben Duerr (Shadow of Intent) and Alex Erian (Despised Icon) joining the band for guest vocals.

On the album, Bobby Crow continues: “Absolvere makes good on the musicality we were striving for on Vital Deprivation and combines it with the eerie atmosphere and brutality on our first two albums. We added a myriad of new sounds, techniques and vocal styles as we collectively composed each song from the ground-up.”

Proven as a major force on the stage, Signs of the Swarm have toured with the likes of Aborted, Lorna Shore, Shadow of Intent, Brand of Sacrifice, Ingested, Disentomb, Traitors and more. US and European tours soon to be announced, more news soon.

ABOUT POWERWOLF:

The story of POWERWOLF, beginning in 2004, reads like a true fairytale, but is the result of the most hard-working and entertaining live band on the heavy metal planet. POWERWOLF has not only received plenty of Gold and Platinum awards to date, but numerous releases have entered the official German album charts at the top position of #1. With Blessed & Possessed (2015), POWERWOLF achieved Gold status (in the Czech Republic) for the first time, while its predecessor, Preachers Of The Night (2013), hit the official German album charts at #1, and the incredible DVD, The Metal Mass (2016), came in at #1 of the German DVD-Charts. POWERWOLF's holy mass in the name of heavy metal is unstoppable – their latest magnum opus, The Sacrament of Sin (2018), again entered the album charts at #1. The accompanying, almost completely sold out Wolfsnächte headline tour – in which POWERWOLF headlined large venues with their phenomenal stage performances – became a single major triumph, as well as the numerous summer festival shows in which crowds were thrilled and completely captivated by the Wolves and their unique, (un)holy metal mass. With the new studio album, Call Of The Wild, and the Wolfsnächte 2021 tour charging through the largest halls in Europe, 2021 will again be a year completely under the sign of the wolf pack.

New album Nail Below Nail will be released 8th July via Unique Leader Records

Lead track 'Concrete' streaming now

Brutal slam death-metallers Organectomy have announced their new full-length album Nail Below Nail is set for release via Unique Leader Records on 8th July.

Ahead of the album release the band have delivered their first single, 'Concrete'.

Watch the music video to 'Concrete' here: https://youtu.be/NhR88ZLCuFs
Pre-order the album here: https://orcd.co/nailbelownail

Guitarist Sam McRobert comments: "We are extremely excited to announce our third studio album Nail Below Nail is coming out on July 8th via Unique Leader Records! We strongly believe this album to be our best work to date after three long years in the making and we used our down time to bring you twelve tracks of pure, sickening brutality."

Nail Below Nail is a bludgeoning slab of slamming death metal which takes a deep dive inside a sadistic sci-fi horror tale of incomprehensible violence and destruction. Lyrically themed around visions of gore, excess, and torture, as well as the extreme lengths the human mind will go to when faced with entities beyond its dimensional perception. The album's monolithic riffs wrap themselves around endless realms of mountainous groove and atmosphere in an impressive demonstration of skill and songwriting that never compromises on brutality.

Once again the band teamed up with mix/master titan Miguel Tereso of Demigod Recordings with drums recorded by Troy Kelly at The Armoury Recording Studio in Wellington, New Zealand. Guitars, bass and vocals were recorded by Alex Paul and Sam McRobert. The stunning artwork was created by Par Olofsson and photography by Ollie Hudson.

Hailing from Christchurch City, New Zealand, Organectomy have been an unstoppable force at the forefront of New Zealand's slam and death metal scenes since first hitting the stage more than a decade ago.

Formed in 2010 Organectomy’s brand of ‘Brutal Slamming Death Metal' incorporates many aspects of the death metal spectrum, from old school to technical, fusing it with modern slam into a twisted, decimating cacophony of pure brutality.

Following a few early demos and an EP, the band released their acclaimed debut album, Domain of the Wretched in 2017 and then signed to Unique Leader Records. In 2019 the band followed up with the release of their sophomore album Existential Disconnect and embarked on a tour of the U.S.A and Canada.

Entering the studio in 2021 to begin work on their third album, Nail Below Nail will see release this year via Unique Leader, and with an added line up change, Organectomy are ready to forge a new era for the band.

Having shared stages with Fleshgod Apocalypse, Cattle Decapitation, Archspire, Aborted, Vulvodynia and many more and with a full touring schedule ahead of them, Organectomy are poised to give you a taste of the carnage yet to come.

Rising from the ashes of ALAZKA and Time, The Valuator, brand new German duo FLOYA have shared a video for their second single, 'The Hymn', streaming now via Arising Empire.

Check out the video for 'The Hymn' here: https://youtu.be/OIgO9BwPOZI

Stream/purchase 'The Hymn' here: https://arisingempire.com/thehymn

After the hopeful and dance-inducing 'Wonders', FLOYA are now shaking things up with their second effort entitled 'The Hymn'. This time the duo are leaning more towards fast-paced rock, while still managing to maintain their unique art-pop influence. 'The Hymn' scoops you up without warning and takes you on an emotional rollercoaster through FLOYA's own dreamscape.

Vocalist Phil Bayer comments:

"'The Hymn' is about compromise and letting go, but also about making peace with those concepts. There are times when you realise you can’t have everything you want, so then you’ve got to decide what to pursue and what to let go of. Those kind of things can be fairly dramatic sometimes, but in the end these scenarios teach us about what’s most important to us."

FLOYA, consisting of Phil Bayer and Marv Wilder, blend modern EDM elements with poppy hooks on their previous single 'Wonders'. After carving a name for themselves as the founders and songwriters of their previous acts, Phil and Marv are on a journey of their own, exploring a vast array of genres and following one simple mantra: There are no limits. With this statement engraved on their minds, FLOYA strive to create something bigger than themselves, taking listeners on an unforgettable adventure.

FLOYA teamed up with Chris Kempe at Embark Audio (ALAZKA and Time, The Valuator) for full production duties and additional songwriting, with mastering handled by Robin Schmidt (The 1975, You Me At Six, Biffy Clyro, Don Broco).

FLOYA are:
