The band comments: "After working with Chris Fielding at Foel Studio on our latest album, we were really impressed by the set up there, and made an almost immediate decision to produce another, better live album than our last. The songs have a whole new energy and feel to them when they're played live, and that's something a lot of people prefer. There's a lot of history to that studio and we felt like we had a lot to live up to, but Chris has done an incredible job of capturing everything, and we're really pleased with the result."

Taking their most ambitious album yet into a fully live studio setting, Family The Smiling Thrush: Live At Foel Studio demonstrates Boss Keloid at their peak as one of the UK's most formidable live acts. Entering a realm leaning towards the soaring majesty of monumental prog-rock whilst still embracing their metal edge, the live album is a true masterclass in versatility and production. Recorded, produced and mastered by Chris Fielding at the legendary Foel Studios in Wales over two days in May 2021, the live album breathes new life into the seven towering tracks of emotional energy, psychedelic grooves and riff-oriented guitar work.

Lyrically throughout Family The Smiling Thrush Boss Keloid explore the notion of the collective being greater than the individual, embracing all flaws and the strengths of each. Each song burrows deeply into areas such as community, communication, family, personal growth, mindfulness and positive inner reflection, inviting the listener to not only join but truly revel in the journey of being alive.

Family The Smiling Thrush: Live At Foel Studio will be available from 1st July via Ripple Music as digital, LP and DVD bundles.

Mercurial Bristol rockers Sugar Horse have released their uniquely-titled new single 'Pictures of Dogs Having Sex'.

Stream here: https://sugarhorse.bandcamp.com/track/pictures-of-dogs-having-sex

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/sp6FBbG462Y

'PODHS' is the first new material from the UK band following their acclaimed debut album, 2021's The Live Long After. Despite the graphic title, the single is a stunning listen - a monolithic slab of post-metal, shoegaze majesty.

Sugar Horse have made their name on their dynamic extremes. In their own words: "Going from comedically quiet to annoyingly loud is a fun trick and something that rarely fails to force some kind of excitement into a song that is, let’s face it, just the note A over and over and over again. We thought we’d try going completely the other way with 'Pictures Of Dogs Having Sex'. We wanted it to be a giant slab that’s just on like a fire hose for five minutes at a time. Just a relentless brick wall from start to finish, that may differ texturally from section to section, but ultimately is just holding a hairdryer to your ear. In keeping with said hairdryer motif, we made an admittedly ill-advised decision to include almost no instrumental definition. Much like My Bloody Valentine’s 'Loveless' or The Cure’s 'Plainsong', all the guitar, synth and bass layers merge into one giant wall of noise.

"Lyrically 'Pictures Of Dogs Having Sex' revolves around ideas of genetic inheritance and genealogy. The idea of some degree of my destiny being controlled by the DNA of two people (who in my case at least I’ve never met) is slightly terrifying to me. Am I living this way because I am consciously choosing to, or because I’m genetically programmed to? Oddly specific I know, but these are the kind of semi-tedious thoughts that knock around in my giant head (thanks genetics) from time to time.

"All together quite a commercial song for us….shame we destroyed any chance of said commerciality with the stupid title. Je ne regrette rien."

Lyrically based around the fear of the unknown, Sugar Horse's The Live Long After is a caustic, visceral, and highly engaging listen. From the uneasy opening notes of the introduction 'I Am Not Now' (an anti-hymn based on an ancient Byzantine chant), to 'Live Long' (a doom track about the endless void) and 'Death Cult', (which discusses Aleph, the Japanese doomsday movement), the record is an indication of a band bursting with things to say.

It's not for nothing that Sugar Horse have become known as a nonconformist band. Their previous EPs Druj and Drugs were acclaimed amalgams of doom, hardcore, stoner and punk, and The Live Long After continues this curious trend.

Indications of My Bloody Valentine, Cult of Luna, Deafheaven and Oceansize can be heard throughout the record, but still only touch upon the wide variety of sounds and influences Sugar Horse explore. A band who were due to tour with Black Peaks before the inevitable Covid disruption, and who have toured with Vennart and played ArcTanGent, Sugar Horse have received early praise from Upset Magazine, Metal Hammer, and Kerrang!.

Forming in 2015 as a trio in a flat in Bristol, Sugar Horse fully came into being in 2019 with the addition of Jake Healy on baritone guitar and keyboards. Seeking to break away from emerging trends in their scene, the band's emphasis on simplicity and down-tempo heft belies an impressive sense of self-awareness and maturity. In their own words: "I think the best art is formed when it's creators enforce rigid rules on themselves. Mondrian had geometry, Mark E Smith had his hatred for cigarette taxation and we have a complete disregard for urgency."

SOLITAER out 26th August via Long Branch Records

UK dates at UK Tech-Fest and ArcTanGent announced

German progressive metal trio The Hirsch Effekt have announced a headline UK tour ahead of their appearance at ArcTanGent festival and the release of new EP SOLITAER, out 26th August via Long Branch Records. Support comes from UK nu-core band Sunfall. The band will also perform at this year's UK Tech-Fest.

dates:

02.07.22 UK, Newark-on-Trent - UK Tech-Fest Tickets
17.08.22 UK, London - New Cross Inn /w Sunfall Tickets
18.08.22 UK, Reading - The Face Bar /w Sunfall Tickets
19.08.22 UK, Brighton - Green Door Store / w Sunfall Tickets
20.08.22 UK, Bristol - ArcTanGent Tickets

Watch the lyric video to 'NARES' taken from the new EP here: https://youtu.be/R0MduZA9Hh0

The social distancing restrictions of the Corona era prompted The Hirsch Effekt to take a radical step: what if you not only recorded by yourself for the next release, but also wrote the songs completely alone? One song per band member. And so came about the concept of SOLITAER, which means "living individually" and thus represents the antonym to gregarious - Social distancing as a song writing concept. The opinion of the other band members was welcome, but required no necessity and didn’t need to influence the work of the respective musicians. In the end three songs were created - all of which showcase typical characteristics, that are part of the The Hirsch Effekt recipe, but do not sound like typical The Hirsch Effekt songs. It not only sounds like an extremely exciting experiment, but also frankly speaking: exceedingly extreme. The SOLITAER EP is rounded off by a band version of the song 'Gregaer', which was originally created as an orchestral version.

SOLITAER will be released as limited and serially numbered LP Edition incl. black vinyl, Exclusive Napalm Records Shop Edition incl. coloured vinyl, CD Edition incl. both SOLITAER and GREGAER EPs, stream and download. Also The Hirsch Effekt's latest vinyl EP GREGAER is now available again as a limited reissue with red coloured LP.

German post-hardcore trio Future Palace have released their sophomore album Run, out now via Arising Empire. To celebrate the band have released a video for their new single 'Dead Inside', once again displaying the emotional power behind their sound.

Future Palace collaborated with Peter Leukhardt (Annisokay, Beyond The Black and Rising Insane) to record the music video for 'Dead Inside'.

Watch the video for 'Dead Inside' here: https://youtu.be/q8Kt-n91QDI

Stream/purchase Run in various formats here: https://futurepalace.lnk.to/run

'Dead Inside' explores a toxic relationship, not only the mark it's left on the past but how to deal with the lasting effects. "At the beginning of 'Dead Inside' there was the personal experience, that there are people who justify their behaviour by saying that they are irrevocably emotionally cold," says guitarist Manuel. "The track deals with a sometimes tragic situation both lyrically and instrumentally - it reflects inner turmoil, helplessness and anger at the same time."

"This is certain, the new songs not only sound different, they also came from different feelings," Manuel expands on the songwriting process. "We are therefore particularly looking forward to the live shows - because capturing these feelings in music is one thing, being able to share and express them directly is another."

After all, Future Palace's music has never been as multifaceted than it is on this album: this is music that wants to be heard and felt - everywhere and always.

One of the most aspiring post-hardcore acts in Germany, Future Palace signed to Arising Empire to release their debut album Escape in 2020, which garnered several million streams across streaming platforms.

Future Palace's sophomore album Run was produced by Julian Breucker (Beyond The Black) and mixed/mastered by Annisokay guitarist Christoph Wieczorek. Run explores the fight with one's own demons, the aftermath of a toxic relationship, and how the struggle with your own salvation is only the beginning, even after escaping from a dramatic situation. Blending the rawness of Holding Absence, Spiritbox and While She Sleeps with the irresistible, sweeping sounds of Bring Me The Horizon and PVRIS, the visually stunning and vulnerable record sets these painful processes to atmospheric post-hardcore, portraying the ups and downs of emotion.

Earlier this year Future Palace embarked on their first ever headline tour across Germany, followed by a European tour supporting Annisokay. The trio will appear at Full Force Festival and High 5ive Summer Fest over the summer, as well as tour with Battle Beast in August and September.

One of only three songs with German lyrics in POWERWOLF’s discography is 'Glaubenskraft'. Celebrating its “live” premiere via the cinematic streaming event THE MONUMENTAL MASS - A CINEMATIC METAL EVENT, the song proves to be a real highlight in the live band's set, ready to be unleashed to the masses at one of POWERWOLF’s massive tours or festival headline shows this year. The incredible sound production highlights this live version and turns it into a standout hymn for each fan of the genre.

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/Hth9MJ76oys

The song, well placed at the end of the second chapter of the cinematic streaming event, called “Sin”, shoves a finger into the wound that the church has created for itself in recent years. The blank looking nuns in the video hovering while the band performs on an oversized burning cross speaks louder than any words.

All metal crowds will shout along to this banger of a song – whether they understand the German lyrics or not.

This summer, on 8th July 2022, this new benchmark for music streaming events will finally be available to view any time you crave. THE MONUMENTAL MASS - A CINEMATIC METAL EVENT will be unleashed on DVD, BluRay and many other physical formats.

POWERWOLF have stood at the peak of superlative, epic metal moments for years, but what they present with this streaming event surpasses anything seen before. After months of detailed work, a story was crafted and presented in several chapters based on the stunning music and elaborately staged cinematic scenes. All show effects, actors and stage settings work hand in hand with each other and bring the medium of live music to a level never seen before. From battles with clergy to stories of nuns, monks and burning angels, cinematic images immediately capture the viewer.

THE MONUMENTAL MASS - A CINEMATIC METAL EVENT is a live spectacle that unveils new details watch after watch, and cements POWERWOLF's status as the most outstanding band in their genre.

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.
