The ever-mercurial, boundary-pushing UK rock quartet Sugar Horse have released their new video for 'Disco Loadout', the first single from their thrilling new collaborative EP Waterloo Teeth.

Featuring members of Heriot and Mclusky/St Pierre Snake Invasion, you can now watch 'Disco Loadout' here: https://youtu.be/Q1PfkWMbf40

Waterloo Teeth will be released 28th October via Small Pond, and features members of Heriot, Conjurer, IDLES, Biffy Clyro, and many more. In celebration of the news, Sugar Horse have released the first single from the EP, the aptly-titled 'Disco Loadout'.

Pre-order Waterloo Teeth here: http://listen.smallpondrec.com/disco-loadout

Of 'Disco Loadout', the band comment: "This song is more of a comedic idea, than it is actual music. This song is all about rhythm, so the guitar and bass parts are either playing all open strings at once, or muting every string at once. On top of that all strings were tuned to entirely random notes, so it’s just complete dissonance. The title comes from playing a show just before a club-night is about to begin and how quickly you have to remove all your gear from the stage."

Heriot's Debbie Gough comments: "Sugar Horse are a band I’ve always enjoyed going to watch after having first played with them in 2017! I’m very honoured to be on their track ‘Disco Loadout’ from this EP and it’s fantastic to see lots of other friends on the track list too!"

Mclusky/St Pierre Snake Invasion's Damien Sayell comments: "Sugar Horse are heavy metal for people who don't watch wrestling."

Full tracklisting:

1. Disco Loadout (ft. Debbie Gough, Heriot, vocals; Damien Sayell, Mclusky, vocals; Matt Loveridge, MXLX, cello)
2. Waterloo Teeth (ft. Dave Larkin, Black Peaks, bass; Will Gardner, Black Peaks, saxophone; Paul Tierney, Lonely Tourist, vocals)
3. Gutted (ft. Kate Davies, Pupil Slicer, vocals; Dan Nightingale, Conjurer, vocals/guitar; Brady Deeprose, Conjurer, vocals/guitar; Conor Marshall, Conjurer, vocals/guitar; Nuala Honan, vocals)
4. Super Army Soldiers (ft. Adam Devonshire, IDLES, bass; Mike Vennart, Oceansize/Biffy Clyro/Vennart, guitar; Connie Matthews, Wych Elm, vocals)

Waterloo Teeth is true demonstration of Sugar Horse's refusal to conform or sit still. A community-building, genre-hopping release, the EP sees Sugar Horse letting the good times roll. Recorded during the Christmas break at Small Pond studios, sleeping among the amps, the four-track record is the Bristol group's excuse to work with some of the coolest musicians on the planet.

Sugar Horse's most out-there music yet, Waterloo Teeth turns ideas on their head. Opening track and first single 'Disco Loadout' is anti-Sugar Horse - a band previously known for long, melodic songs, this song instead is as short and atonal as possible. In contrast track three, 'Gutted' is the everything everywhere at once song, from Shellac-style noise, to Sleep-esque doom, to Cocteau Twins melody and back.

It is apt that Waterloo Teeth is a celebration of the limitations of art. Humans are compelled to create, creation drowns out the madness arounds us as keeps us alive. Where there is release, there is constraint; where there is constraint, there is creativity. It is this circle of life that Sugar Horse thrive in - Waterloo Teeth is a beguiling and irresistible invitation to join the circle.

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, continued by acclaimed debut LP The Live Long After. 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 praise from Upset Magazine, Metal Hammer, Revolver and Kerrang!, among others.

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."

Tech-death titans Xenobiotic have released their storming new EP Hate Monolith today, 2nd September, via Unique Leader.

The band have also streamed their new video for 'The Wretched Strive' here: https://youtu.be/1wbwMgZ8cc4

Order Hate Monolith here: http://orcd.co/hatemonolith

The band comment: "'The Wretched Strive' was written to depict the inevitable end state of the human world, the contempt and disgust for our rampant anthropocentric nature, the corrupt and hateful spiritual cancer that continues to consume our species, and the impending future of an unloved world."

Xenobiotic are a five-piece progressive death metal outfit from Perth, Western Australia. As the follow up to their critically acclaimed debut full length, Prometheus, Xenobiotic returned with their earth shatteringly destructive sophomore album Mordrake, unleashed globally through Unique Leader Records.

Mordrake found the group delving further into the band's unrelentingly crushing technical intensity combined with sickening, ruinous atmospherics that has garnered them attention across the world. The new album was a calamitous, almost uncomfortably bleak listen. With Mordrake, Xenobiotic have proven that they are a limitlessly extreme band and not for the feint of heart.

The group said of Mordrake: 

“This album is more than just an arrangement of music. It is our darkest secrets, our worst fears and our most vivid nightmares. It is everything that casts a shadow over us all."

The 11 track album was recorded and mixed by Matthew Templeman (Make Them Suffer, Voyager) with mastering by Simon Struthers at Forensic Audio. Artwork for the effort was done by Mariusz Lewandowski (Psycroptic, Bell Witch, Fuming Mouth).

Following the release of Mordrake, March 2020, Xenobiotic faced the most unfortunate of circumstance for a band, releasing an album at the start of the COVID pandemic. 

While it was a time where the band could not continue on its journey of devastating audiences around the world through touring, Xenobiotic did however sign a partnership with New York based leading international heavy music agency, Extreme Management Group, joining a roster alongside other icons of brutality Suffocation, Cattle Decapitation, Cryptopsy, Origin and more. 

During this time the band would not be stopped, continuing to write and record which has led to the band’s new EP, Hate Monolith. Mixed and mastered by renowned Cryptopsy guitarist and producer, Christian Donaldson (Ingested, Beyond Creation, The Agonist) with art by Giannis Nakos at Remedy Design (Suffocation, Evergrey, The Agonist) the EP continues to see Xenobiotic tear open ears with maniacal, emotive and progressive death metal brutality and expansive, darkened soundscapes.

Grunge rockers Marisa And The Moths have released their stunning new single 'If You Knew', the first in a new series of singles and first glimpse of their forthcoming second album.

Stream here: https://linktr.ee/marisaandthemoths

Watch the band live:

30/09 The Queen's Hall, Nuneaton
17/11 Half Moon, London

Marisa And The Moths (pronounced Muh-rees-ah) are one of the hottest unsigned rock acts in the UK right now. Their debut self-titled LP hit #66 in the Official Downloads Chart and has amassed hundreds of thousands of streams globally. One of the first bands to create high quality live streams at the start of the pandemic, the band have more than tripled their social media audience with their stunning performances.

Marisa And The Moths are a group who bring to mind the best hard rock and grunge bands of the 90s, all while adding their own modern twist. Led by the brilliantly mercurial and charismatic frontwoman Marisa Rodriguez, and ably supported by Liam Barnes, bass, the band have gathered a small army of supporters, even at this early DIY stage.

Since their debut in 2019 with 'Skin' they've rapidly garnered a following which continues to grow at pace. The band have been championed by Planet Rock and BBC Radio 2 Rock Show, Kerrang! Radio and Classic Rock Magazine; after completing two UK headline tours, Marisa And The Moths are heading out on their third tour this Winter 2021. Their second album is scheduled for release in early 2022, and is predominantly funded by their devoted fanbase.

For fans of Halestorm, Foo Fighters, Audioslave, Marisa And The Moths deliver a deeply personal sound, detailing Marisa’s struggles with anxiety and everyday sexism amongst other themes. The music is the perfect vehicle for Marisa’s voice, soulful and compelling, and her devastatingly powerful lyrics.

Post-hardcore quartet Polar have released their new single 'Gods & Heathens', out now via Arising Empire. The track follows the band's previous singles 'Everywhere, Everything' and 'Dissolve Me', which marked their return earlier this year.

Check out the video for 'Gods & Heathens' here: https://youtu.be/2PvJV-_xRIU

Stream/purchase 'Gods & Heathens' here: https://arisingempire.com/godsandheathens

Vocalist Adam Woodford comments on the single:

"'Gods and Heathens’ is about the abuse of power in the world we live in and how constant mistrust has turned us callous and cold.”

At the beginning of 2020, the music world came to an abrupt stop. For Polar, that meant a conclusive end to their unfinished tour alongside After The Burial, Spiritbox and Make Them Suffer, following their 2019 acclaimed album Nova.

Filled with a sense of uncertainty in a world turned upside down, Polar (Adam Woodford, Fabian Lomas, Gav Thane and Noah See) took to work on brand new material, with lyrics that delve deep within the self and a sound that treads new, experimental grounds.

Now armed with their hard-hitting new material, Polar are raring to take to the stage, after years of musical and personal growth behind the scenes.

Expect the unexpected.

Polar are:

Adam Woodford | vocals
Fabian Lomas | guitar
Gav Thane | bass

Chicago-based technical rock/metal quartet The Untold have released their brand new EP Thunder and Water: Act One. To celebrate the band have also shared a music video for their new single, 'Red Horizons'. 

Check out the video for 'Red Horizons' here: https://youtu.be/7bWsFvKDnZQ

Stream 'Red Horizons' and Thunder and Water: Act One here: https://linktr.ee/theuntoldband

The Untold comment on their new EP:

"Mental health, fear, hope and healing; these are the main themes of Thunder and Water. Each song tackles a different trial of resilience, with an emphasis on connecting with those that feel lost or alone under the weight of the human experience. No matter how alone we feel, there are always people that we can bond with through similar experience, or simply through compassion. It is these connections that help us disperse the weight that no one should need to carry it by themselves. The Untold aims to make those connections by sharing the experience of as many people as possible. Everyone has a story to tell that will help someone else get through theirs. Understanding and compassion is how we connect. For anyone wanting to have their story heard go to www.theuntoldband.com to submit."

It’s hard to pin the exact genre of Chicago four piece, The Untold. Falling under the gigantic umbrella of rock and metal, they aren’t afraid to blur lines and go wherever their music takes them. With heavy riffs, soaring choruses, symphonic layers and thoughtful songwriting, their music takes you on a rollercoaster of emotion and power. There is a rawness and a realness to the lyrics of The Untold. They sing about the brutality and the beauty of life, through the unique yet incredibly similar experiences of individuals. The Untold aim to bring a feeling of connection by making people feel both seen and heard.
 
Formed between the autumn of 2017 and spring of 2018, The Untold released their first single and continued to record their first demo EP, Stories of Life and Death. From 2018 to 2022 the band continued to write and develop a sound that took influence from each band member’s unique musical taste. From classic metal to tech death, hard rock to metalcore and prog, The Untold created a new sound of epic proportions. Released in November of 2020, 'The Abandoned' was the band’s first single since the release of their demo EP. As they finally started to gain some local traction in the city of Chicago, like so many other artists, COVID-19 halted their progress. That halt would not diminish their spirits though. Throughout 2020 and 2021, The Untold took the time to develop and write together as a unit for the first time, creating their best work yet. The Untold's new EP is ambitious, and will be released in two acts over the course of 2022 and 2023. 

The Untold are:
Luke Dupuis - vocals / guitars
Cole Dillow - guitars
Rob Runnels - bass
Alex Kennedy - drums

Irish indie-punk five-piece New Pagans return with their new single 'Better People', a stunning blast of positivity - and the first glimpse of the band's stellar new era.

Stream 'Better People' here: https://orcd.co/betterpeople

As the music industry fights to return from the brink, New Pagans abandon chaos for a brief moment, in search of hope. 'Better People' celebrates our ability as humans to pull together, create communities, and look after one another - the band's attempt to write a song that uplifts, gives hope, and just says you can be better.

Written during the grip of socially isolated lockdown, 'Better People' began with singer and lyricist Lyndsey Mcdougall celebrating the joy of music with her children. Realising the playlist they'd created had an inter-generational hopeful appeal, Lyndsey and New Pagans set to writing their own new uplifting anthem.

'Better People' is the result - recorded in the Glens of Antrim in Ireland by the band and self-produced, New Pagans continue to expand their DIY position. A glorious listen, recalling elements of The Xcerts, The Menzingers, and Muncie Girls, it's a strong statement of intent from the five-piece - given that extra heft with a mix by Sam Petts Davis (Radiohead, Warpaint, Frank Ocean).

Following their European tour with Skunk Anansie earlier this year, New Pagans will bring their notoriously electrifying and explosive live show back to Europe to celebrate the new release, and will join English folk-punk heroes Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls on four dates across Germany. New Pagans will also be playing Glasgow's Poetry Club on 8th September and London's Courtyard Theatre on 9th September.

'Better People' follows a stellar two years for New Pagans, following their globally-critically acclaimed debut The Seed, The Vessel, The Roots and All. Strong support from Stereogum, Kerrang!, The Independent, NPR and more helped mark the Irish group as a band to sit up and notice.

More information to be revealed shortly.

New Pagans are:

Lyndsey McDougall - Vocals
Cahir O’Doherty - Guitar and vocals
Claire Miskimmin - Bass guitar
Allan McGreevy - Guitar
Conor McAuley - Drums

The ever-mercurial, boundary-pushing UK rock quartet Sugar Horse have announced their thrilling new collaborative EP Waterloo Teeth.

Waterloo Teeth will be released 28th October via Small Pond, and features members of Heriot, Conjurer, IDLES, Biffy Clyro, and many more. In celebration of the news, Sugar Horse have released the first single from the EP, the aptly-titled 'Disco Loadout'.

German metal quintet Half Me have released their second single / video 'Wraith' via Arising Empire. Formed in Hamburg Germany in 2018, the band - guitarists Chris and Julius, vocalist Chris, drummer Max and bassist Tobias - are one of the newest additions to the Arising Empire roster.

Watch the video to 'Wraith' here: https://youtu.be/3tPGtDtItJs

Stream here: https://arisingempire.com/wraith

The band comment "'Wraith' is the repercussion of a traumatic episode. In a cry for solidarity, the isolation turns out to fuel the infectious progression of something that is vague and hard to pin down - but it exists. Every single thought aggravates a vicious downward spiral while nobody else is able to understand. In this state of being pushed away from everyone, 'Wraith' describes this entity that is growing and slowly becoming a part of you."

Watch the video to previous single 'Trauma Culture' here: https://youtu.be/pcpA9wJ--KE

In the space of just two years, the band have made an impact in the music scene by self producing their music and videos, displaying their intensive and energetic demeanour. Debuting with four singles initially, it was their latest single 'Exitwound' (featuring Jack Bergin of Void of Vision) that gave the group a breakthrough and landed the band in the spotlight of Knotfest’s Countdown to Oblivion.

Musically, Half Me blend a modern rendition of metal and hardcore with highlights of 90s nu-metal. Pounding riffs and breakdowns are accompanied by brutal, yet sometimes elegant, vocals that all balance together to formulate the band’s own distinctive sound. Riding the high of their recent success, Half Me have sights set on releasing their highly anticipated debut album in 2022.

Half Me will support their label mates in The Oklahoma Kid on the Tangerine Tragic Tour across Germany this autumn alongside Liotta Seoul.

Swedish metalcore quintet Imminence have shared a reimagined acoustic version of their hit single 'Alleviate'. The original track features on the band's fourth album Heaven In Hiding, out now via Arising Empire.

Check out 'Alleviate (Acoustic)' here: https://youtu.be/h7szP83V2Wo

Stream 'Alleviate (Acoustic)' here: https://arisingempire.com/alleviateacoustic

Since their formation, Imminence's acoustic side has been an equally important component to their unique identity. 'Alleviate' is the third reimagined song from their latest album, written and produced solely by Eddie Berg (vocals/violin) and Harald Barrett (guitar). The acoustic version of 'Alleviate' is accompanied by a music video filmed and edited by producer Pavel Trebukhin.

Imminence's latest album, Heaven In Hiding, was released in 2021 via Arising Empire and saw them elevate to the next level in the global modern metal scene. The metal community even granted Imminence a brand new and unique genre: violincore. Singles 'Temptation', 'Heaven In Hiding', 'Ghost', 'Chasing Shadows' and 'Alleviate' were accompanied by outstanding visual production, with enormous success on YouTube and other streaming platforms.

Stream/purchase Heaven In Hiding here: https://imminence.lnk.to/heaveninhiding

Closing in on 100 million streams and over 250,000 online followers off the back of four albums, Imminence emerged from the global COVID-19 pandemic straight into a six-week long European headline tour. Always breaking boundaries and expectations, Imminence introduced the touring cycle with a full-acoustic show: Live In Concert Halls. Featuring a string quartet and other classical elements, Imminence brought the ensemble to six shows in Germany, resulting in a chart position in Eventims' fastest selling tours in the country. The Heaven In Hiding album tour followed, with venues tripling in capacity and additional dates announced due to phenomenal demand.

Imminence's touring has remained strong over the summer of 2022, appearing at Full Force, Graspop, Rock For People, Deichbrand, Nova Rock, Jera On Air and more.

The band will return to the stage in November and December, supporting In Flames alongside At The Gates and Orbit Culture.
