'Delilah' streaming now

DROP EP available now

London-based heavy hard rockers Daxx & Roxane have revealed their new mysterious music video for their latest cover of Florence & the Machine's track 'Delilah'. The track is lifted from the band's brand new covers EP, DROP, out now.

Premiered by Emerging Rock Bands, watch 'Delilah' here: https://youtu.be/P9TvqDxRIeA
Stream 'Delilah' here: https://push.fm/fl/delilah

The cinematic music video follows a couple who discover a relic hidden in the sand along the banks of the Thames, by which point a magic door transports them to another time and location. A group of menacing entities interrogate the couple over the relic, the key they found on the beach being the only thing the evil entities care about.

The band comment on the release of the new single: "The dreamlike and powerful vibe of this track is what you get when you mix the charm and delicateness of Florence & the Machine with the raw energy of more vintage acts such as Billy Idol or The Stooges. With this unpredictable mix of influences, we tried to come up with the recipe for a blistering foot-stomping cover of the 2015 hit."

'Delilah' follows Daxx & Roxane's previous releases: covers of Sammy Hagar's 'Heavy Metal', Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition' and Téléphone's legendary track 'Argent Trop Cher', the first ever to be translated into English. Of the brand new 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.

Simon Golaz | Rhythm Guitar & Harmonica

Wither On The Vine due for release 30th September via Candlelight Records

Video 'Floodlands' streaming now

Irish dark metallers Darkest Era have announced their third album, Wither On The Vine, is set for release on 30th September via Candlelight Records.

Check out first single / video, ‘Floodlands’ here: https://youtu.be/VpUiifrBqqQ
Pre-save the album here: https://darkestera.lnk.to/WitherOnTheVine

Guitarist Ade Mulgrew comments: “'Floodlands' is about human tragedy, and empathy in the face of chaos and despair. It was particularly inspired by the horrifying images and accounts we've seen over the last years of people forced to flee their homes and their lives in the face of war, famine, persecution and climate change. Following the outbreak of war in Ukraine the themes prove to be, sadly, ever relevant. We hope the song resonates with listeners with it's crushing drive and sweeping melancholy."

The haunting video for 'Floodlands' was filmed on the north coast of Ireland against the wild and windswept backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. Director Anais Mulgrew comments: "Floodlands is the first of a series of three music videos written around the vision that Darkest Era’s new album brought to my head. The neverending tragedy of life, brought to the scale of the gods themselves. Everything withers, everything ends, while grief goes on forever, and the mourning creatures depicted in the video will work until the end of times as surely as the waves will keep crashing on the cliffs."

It has been eight years since Darkest Era’s last album, 2014’s Severance. In that time, the Northern Irish-centred band have undergone personal and personnel changes, while the world itself has entered its own new dark era. Now, they return with their third album, Wither On The Vine.

Recorded at Wales’ legendary Foel Studios with producer Chris Fielding (Electric Wizard, Primordial, Winterfylleth, Witchsorrow), it finds the band taking their shadowy take on the traditional heavy metal sounds of Iron Maiden and Thin Lizzy, and adding elements of doom, black metal, blackgaze and anything else that casts a musical shadow. Expanding their horizons with where their sound could go on Withered On The Vine, guitarist Ade Mulgrew says it could best be described as simply “dark metal”.

Speaking on the album, Ade adds: "The album presents a bleak reflection of the world as it stands today; politically, socially, environmentally. Among themes of human tragedy and personal introspection, there are also songs touching on pagan spirituality, the Dionysian perspective and even gothic romance. Stylistically the album mixes black metal and doom metal elements with an almost classic rock sense of tone. We hope the album resonates with listeners seeking music with genuine power and emotional weight, pulling them into its dark visions."

After a long absence, far from withering away, Darkest Era have returned as experts in their craft, and made a definitive dark metal statement.

Darkest Era are:
Krum – Vocals
Ade Mulgrew – Guitar
Sarah Wieghell – Guitar
Daniel O’Toole – Bass
Cameron Åhslund-Glass - Drums

Páthos LP due 1st July via Nuclear Blast

Conjurer, the future of British metal, have unveiled another glimpse of their long-awaited album Páthos (1st July, Nuclear Blast) in the form of their new single 'Cracks In The Pyre'.

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/ZPl3qgZuCv8

Pre-order Páthos and stream 'Cracks In The Pyre' here: https://conjurer.bfan.link/cracks-in-the-pyre.ema

Brady Deeprose (guitars, vocals) comments: "'Cracks' is probably the biggest departure from our previously established sound - the working title was 'Ballad'. For me this is the most affecting track on Páthos, I connect more with it on every listen, and I think it opens up a new element to the band's identity that will be important moving forwards. The video reflects the themes of the track and was captured on the Scottish coast: the breathtaking landscapes evoke the atmosphere the song is trying to capture, and we're blown away by the finished piece."

Conjurer have announced their Europe and UK headline tour of Páthos. Tickets onsale from Friday 27th May at 10am BST via atonal.agency.

Dates as follows:

Fri 21.10.2022 NL Nijmegen Soulcrusher Fest
Sat 22.10.2022 DE Mainz Kulturclub Schon Schön
Sun 23.10.2022 DE Bochum Die Trompete
Mon 24.10.2022 DE Leipzig Bandhaus
Wed 26.10.2022 SU Lucerne Sedel
Thu 27.10.2022 FR Lyon Le Farmer
Fri 28.10.2022 FR Lille Brat Cave
Sat 29.10.2022 BE Hasselt Samhain Fest
Mon 31.10.2022 UK Bristol The Exchange
Tue 01.11.2022 UK Manchester Rebellion
Wed 02.11.2022 UK Glasgow Cathouse
Thu 03.11.2022 UK Leeds Key Club
Fri 04.11.2022 UK London The Dome

Páthos is not an album for the half-hearted or faint-hearted. Elements of Sumac, Gojira, old Mastodon and Oathbreaker, the new record is a multi-layered beast – sludge, death, doom, black metal and hardcore influences clash and collide throughout, all masterfully finished by Will Putney’s exquisite mix and master.

The fifty-minute runtime of Páthos is not without its moments of the sublime, with post-metal nods to Conjurer and Pijn’s acclaimed Curse These Metal Hands project throughout.

Conjurer’s debut full-length Mire (2018) was released to a storm of attention from across the metal world, garnering significant acclaim from Metal Hammer UK, Kerrang!, BBC R1, NME, Visions Mag (DE), MetalSucks, Metal Injection, Loudwire and many more. Recipients of award nominations (Kerrang!, Heavy Music Awards, Metal Hammer’s Golden Gods) and countless albums of the year lists, Mire is a stunning listen, capturing the attitude of a young band who already know exactly who they are.

Hailed as one of the metal world’s most devastating, thrilling experiences, Conjurer are a band never content to rest. Following Mire’s release in 2018 the quartet soon toured Europe for the first time, appeared at multiple UK festivals, and support of doom titans Conan and Will Haven.

In the following years the band have toured the US twice, supporting Rivers of Nihil (stopping to record an Audiotree session along the way), and then Voivod, with Revocation. 2019 also saw Conjurer’s debut Download Festival appearance, thrilling a packed-out Dogtooth stage, and the release of the joyous collaborative project with Pijn, titled Curse These Metal Hands.

It was only at the end of 2019 that Conjurer closed out their triumphant Mire cycle, with a sold-out UK run – their debut headline tour. Using the COVID-19 pandemic to record and craft Páthos, Conjurer returned to the live setting performing at the Download Pilot 2021 and Bloodstock 2021 mainstages.

'Exiled' video streaming now

INVICTUS, the new solo project led by Maurizio Iacono, today unveils a video for 'Exiled'. Premiered via Metal Injection, the stand-alone single serves as the first taste of what’s to come from the as-yet-untitled new full-length, set for release later this year via MNRK Heavy.

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/CkOFVRsw1Tc

Well-respected as the singer of Kataklysm and Ex Deo, head of Hard Impact Artist Management, founder of Distortion Music Group, and co-owner of hard-and-heavy booking agency Continental Touring, Iacono delivers dynamic new layers of heaviness and melody with his latest creative vehicle. A Latin epithet for various Roman deities, “Invictus” translates to “unconquered” or “invincible,” a theme present throughout Iacono’s latest output. “I’ve explored many facets of the music business, from performing, writing, and producing to managing,” he explains. “But I’d never explored that deep down energy inside my thoughts which drives me to compete and, in many ways, survive everything thrown at me.”

Iacono comments on the new single: "‘Exiled’ deals with feeling completely disconnected with your surroundings and society in general, where nothing is logical to your understanding of life, and in return standing your ground for what is real to you and makes sense to your life and survival. The song is personal to me on more than one level, but people can interpret this how it fits best their own world, it has an open concept “

Iacono stands among the most prolific and hardest working soldiers of the metal underground. With INVICTUS, the frontman tackles a new personal quest, exploring a deeper and more personal outlook on his upbringing and the struggles within and around him. Iacono executes his vision alongside long-time collaborator J-F Dagenais (guitarist for Kataklysm and Ex Deo), producer/main songwriter Chris Clancy (Mutiny Within), and powerhouse drummer Jeramie Kling (Venom Inc., Inhuman Condition). Stand by for further details on INVICTUS to be revealed in the months to come.

Co-organiser Catherine Jackson comments: "Up until a couple of weeks ago, we were starting to think that we would not get hit by any last-minute 2022 rescheduling, but like many similar events we had one and it quickly became a few. Given the current circumstances, it is understandable and we hope to welcome those acts back in future editions. 

"However, we’ve booked some fantastic bands to fill the gaps and we are delighted to welcome Soen, ten56., Port Noir & Mike Dawes to Radar Festival 2022.

"Sadly, it wasn’t to be this year so we will not be welcoming Intervals, Car Bomb and Nick Johnston from the US and Canada. Unprocessed received an offer they could not refuse; supporting Polyphia in America (can’t argue with that…) and finally, Shokran cannot make it due to the terrible ongoing conflict in Ukraine. 

"Due to logistical reasons, Siamese and Time, The Valuator have swapped days on the main stage and The Scratch and Pintglass have swapped after party nights."

With their mixture of international talent and confirmed homegrown success, Radar Festival position themselves as champions of forward-thinking guitar-led music. Launched in 2019 to acclaim, with performances from Animals As Leaders, Agent Fresco, Rolo Tomassi and more, the new festival is already making a claim as one of the UK's most exciting progressive music events.

Corporation album out 3rd August via Arising Empire

'Anomaly' video out now

Swedish alternative metal act AVIANA have released a video for new single 'Anomaly', a deeply personal track where vocalist Joel Holmqvist opens up about experiencing mental abuse. 'Anomaly' is taken from new album Corporation, out 3rd August via Arising Empire.

Watch the video to 'Anomaly' here: https://youtu.be/1L_JcQhfTCQ

Stream here: https://aviana.lnk.to/anomaly

Frontman and bandleader Joel Holmqvist commented "The word ‘Anomaly’ is described as “something that deviates from what is standard, normal or expected”. I was mentally abused for two years, something I didn’t wanna write about at first but I felt that I kind of had to. This calmer song was the one I could do that on. Telling the story about being drained and losing all will to live is hard. But I feel it’s necessary to do so. You should never expect to be abused in anyway by anyone and never ever think that it is normal. I hope this song might help someone else get out of an abusive relationship or get through a tough time in life."

AVIANA made a big impact on the global metalcore scene with their return in February 2021. Led solely by vocalist Joel Holmqvist as a consequence of past members leaving the band, Holmqvist has exceed all expectations and taken the band further down the path for greatness.

Previous single 'Obsession' released in January made it into the headlines, placing the band at the number one spot on Spotify's biggest Metalcore playlist New Core and later on also featured on the Top Of The Core playlist on the same platform. Being picked up by all major digital streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Amazon Music, Youtube Music and Deezer affirms the band as one of the most important in their scene.

'Anomaly' and 'Obsession' follow previous singles 'Transcendent', 'Rage', 'Oblivion', 'Overcome' and 'Retaliation'

Speaking on the album, Holmqvist concludes: "there is an album coming in August, finally. But I never wanted to have people sit around and wait for new AVIANA music. Instead I’ve been working continuously to try and get new stuff out there for the fans. You should consider this album more of an ‘Collection of Singles’ rather than something else. There will be new songs on the album which haven’t been released yet, but also songs that we’ve already put out since 2021 will be on the album.”

Pre-orders for Corporation available soon.

The Warring Twenties out 30th September via Dharma Records

Band supporting My Chemical Romance on reunion shows this month

Hyper-melodic, epic rock trio LostAlone have announced their long-awaited fourth album The Warring Twenties, due for release on 30th September 2022 via Dharma Records. The Warring Twenties marks LostAlone's first album since 2014's Shapes of Screams. 

Pre-order/pre-save The Warring Twenties here: https://ffm.to/thewarringtwenties

The band have already released two energy-fuelled singles from the album:   

'The Last Drop Of Forever': https://ffm.to/lastdropofforever
'Punchline Punched Back': https://ffm.to/punchline

LostAlone surprised fans with their return in March - eight years since they originally split.

Frontman Steven Battelle comments: "When we played our 'final' show I barricaded the doors to that version of me and, without looking back, walked away into a future of unknowns. Two solo records and an EP later in the pre-pandemic world of 2019 I felt a looming presence, a constant barrage behind me. A melodic paranoia that I couldn’t shake."

Despite travelling the world to write country songs in Nashville and pop songs in LA, Battelle still dreamt of "fireballs of melody and incredible, stolen faces singing still-unwritten words back at me." Now, that dream has turned into reality. 

A personal dystopia, The Warring Twenties was written and produced by frontman Steven Battelle. LostAlone called upon a variety of friends to mix the songs: Greg Wells (The Greatest Showman, Deftones, Twenty One Pilots), Rou Reynolds (Enter Shikari),  Adam Noble (Biffy Clyro, Placebo, Liam Gallagher) and Rich Collins.

Battelle continues: "Unbelievably this has been the most geographically diverse of anything we’ve done. Whilst isolating in my apartment during lockdowns, the record owes its existence to remote work in London, Derby, Los Angeles, Nottingham, Glasgow, Hastings and New York."
 
LostAlone returned to the stage this month for a sold-out hometown headline show at The Venue in Derby, followed by three shows supporting My Chemical Romance.

Remaining date with My Chemical Romance: 

28.05.2022 - Cardiff, Sofia Gardens Cricket Ground

'Beyond The Wall' video streaming now

Origins album out 24th June 2022 via Season of Mist

Inspired by the myths and tales of the Scottish highlands, Caledonian metal band SAOR have shared new single 'Beyond The Wall' with a stunning music video.

Watch the video to 'Beyond The Wall' here: https://youtu.be/gsUqVnSQucM

'Beyond The Wall' is the second single taken from the band's new album Origins, out on 24th June via Season of Mist.

Frontman and mastermind Andy Marshall comments: "'Beyond the Wall' refers to the Antonine Wall which ran across the central belt of Scotland to keep the Caledonians/Picts at bay. The song is about their freedom, as they were not under Roman rule and the beauty and mystery of the lands beyond the wall."

Pre-save Origins here: https://orcd.co/saor-origins

SAOR will be touring this autumn across with EU with Gaahls WYRD and GAEREA.

UK date: 19th October at The Garage, London.

The cover artwork was created by Anaïs Mulgrew.

Track listing:

1. Call of the Carnyx
2. Fallen
3. The Ancient Ones
4. Aurora
5. Beyond the Wall
6. Origins

SAOR, in Scottish Gaelic, pronounced [sɯːɾ], means free, without obligations, unconstrained. All of these characteristics intrinsic to the music of SAOR, the musical entity spearheaded by sole member Andy Marshall. 

A lone wanderer proudly telling tales and myths of his culture from the tops of misty Caledonian mountains, Andy has carved a solitary, yet strikingly inspiring path with SAOR ever since his first album Roots in 2013. 

A decade on, Andy is set release his fifth full-length; a decade in which Andy and SAOR have almost single-handedly made us all feel a little bit like Scots at heart, regardless of our own individual origins. Such is the passionate and almost visual way that this musician delivers his profoundly atmospheric hybrid of black and folk metal, peculiarly described as Caledonian metal. 

Written over the pandemic, fifth album Origins appeared as a result of these difficult times. And for their first album in three years, and their premiere for Season of Mist, we wouldn’t expect anything other than… the unexpected. A counter reaction of sorts to the more meandering and even “accessible” direction of the previous records, perhaps inspired by its main theme of the Picts (a group of peoples who lived in what is now northern and eastern Scotland during Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages) and their fierce battles, Origins comes across as a more raging, black metal-infused effort, copiously evocative in its imagery and even melancholic in places, but decisively strong and abrasive at the same time.

“This album is a lot more guitar driven,” Andy confirms. “During the pandemic I listened to a lot of classic heavy metal and I think you’ll hear the influences on the dual lead guitars and solos. I also wanted this to be my heaviest album with emphasis on the riffs. My harsh vocals have changed from deep growls to more of a black metal style. Since the subject of the album is the Picts, I wanted a pagan theme throughout, and so that aspect is a lot more prominent than in the previous albums. I also used instruments such as the Carnyx and tribal drumming to convey that feeling.”

 One of the strongest songs on offer, the opener in fact, 'Call of the Carnyx', is in fact about the Carnyx itself, the ancient Celtic war horn, and it conveys like never before the feeling that it must have been to hear its resounding bellow, calling the Pictish warriors to battle. A moving homage to the legacy of the Picts, Origins guides us through their gods, their fallen heroes who died protecting their families and land, and what still remains of their identity in the Scottish people of today.
 
As much as we have food for thought assured and guaranteed entertainment and inspiration for the months to come as we listen to and explore Origins and its themes, its creator is naturally already moving on. Andy doesn’t need much to create the worlds SAOR albums inhabit, and his most powerful tool is always with him.

 “I don’t need to be in one particular place to write or be inspired,” he explains. “I do have my own little office/studio in my home where I write music and lyrics, but it’s nothing special. My imagination is the most powerful tool for SAOR.” 

Not only do we vehemently agree, we would even say that imagination is the most powerful tool, always, for everyone. The one untamed weapon we all possess and can use at all times. Free. Without obligations. Unconstrained.

Featuring Villagers of Ioannina City and Nikos Veliotis

Having risen from smoky basements to packed arenas, 1000mods can be considered no less than the most successful Greek rock band of the past decade.

Deriving equally from the glorious 90s and 70s (not only songwriting-wise but also due to their love for vintage equipment and analogue sound), 1000mods have never hesitated to blend all their influences. Retro, hard, doom, and space rock melded with grunge and alternative create a recipe of explosive heavy music that’s impossible to imitate.

1000mods offer inspired, powerful and uniquely fresh heavy tunes, satisfying everyone from stoners to metalheads. Their debut Super Van Vacation (2011) is now considered a classic in European heavy rock, as well as a game-changer for Greek rock music, selling tens of thousands of copies.

Praised by fans and press throughout the globe, the band's next release Repeated exposure to... (2016) affirmed their place within European heavy rock and roll. The band went on to tour the US in February-March 2018, following that with a sold-out tour of Australia. 

Boasting millions of streams and fans worldwide, 1000mods kicked things up a notch with Youth of Dissent, a fearsome blend of taut songwriting, hard-hitting riffs, haunting melodies and hefty psychedelia. Produced by Matt Bayles (Isis, Mastodon, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Botch and many more), and recorded at Litho Studio (owned by Stone Gossard, founding member of Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog) and London Bridge Studio (where Pearl Jam’s Ten was recorded), Youth of Dissent is 1000mods' most mature record to date.

1000mods are:
Dani G. // vocals, bass
Giannis S. // guitar
Giorgis T. // guitar
Labros G. // drums
