Kerrang! and Music Venue Trust announce Conjurer joining United By Music Tour

British metal heavyweights Conjurer have been selected by Kerrang! to join the United By Music Tour, organised by Music Venue Trust, the charity partners for the Kerrang! Awards 2022.

Conjurer will be performing at:

Sep 08: Peterborough Met Lounge
Sep 09: Bedford Esquires
Sep 10: Tunbridge Wells Forum 
Sep 15: Wolverhampton KK's Steel Mill 
Sep 16: Cambridge Portland 
Sep 17: Derby Hairy Dog 

Tickets are on sale at 10am BST on 11th August, available here: unitedbymusic.live
 
Conjurer’s Brady Deeprose says: Conjurer simply would not exist without the UK’s extensive network of Grassroots Music Venues. We cut our teeth playing everywhere from Merthyr Tydfil to Barrow-In-Furness for years, and we were lucky to be able to do so. The threat that GMVs are under is an utter travesty, and something that we are so thankful to MVT for getting involved in - without this network, everyone from fans to bands suffers. Throughout my childhood, I would go to The Roadmender in Northampton, The Vault in Rugby (RIP), The Flapper in Birmingham, and Corporation in Sheffield to both play shows and see my favourite bands - that thriving scene inspired me to pick up a guitar and start a band. If we don’t protect it, we lose the next generation of musicians. It’s that simple.
 
"To come full circle, Kerrang! putting us forward for this tour is a real privilege, their support for not just us but the UK heavy scene in general, has been untouchable over the last few years. We hope that MVT continues to have success, and that the UK can continue to foster exceptional talent with a strong roster of grassroots venues to support it.”

Luke Morton, editor of Kerrang!, says “The UK heavy music scene is thriving right now, thanks in large part to the community and support of grassroots venues up and down the country. I’m so excited and proud for Kerrang! to partner with the Music Venue Trust for this very metal incarnation of the United By Music Tour, featuring the mighty Conjurer – a band I’ve seen cause absolute chaos in some of our best independent venues over the years. As fans of rock, metal and alternative music, it's vital we all champion the homegrown, grassroots venues that are the lifeblood of our scene. Support your local venue and make sure you catch Conjurer tearing it to shreds!”

The United By Music Tour, organised by the charity Music Venue Trust and funded by The National Lottery, started in June and is running until late September. The tour has already seen BlossomsCat BurnsMetronomy and Bloc Party return to their roots, to highlight the importance of these local venues as part of the music industry’s wider ecosystem, and as important local cultural hubs. The final headliner, Sam Ryder, will be performing a one-off, intimate show at Chinnerys in Southend on 8th September.

The tour also sees a range of artists, including VLUREWitch FeverThe Big Moon, Sleeper, Ed Harcourt and Rhoda Dakar touring the country, playing 150 gigs at 130 grassroots music venues across the UK..

Every ticket buyer can take a guest with them for free (just by showing a lottery product) which makes the already cheap tickets even more affordable. See unitedbymusic.live for all tour dates and tickets.

During Covid, Music Venue Trust managed to prevent the closure of all 900+ venues that they represent. However, the increasing severity of the cost-of-living crisis has resulted in multiple venues closing every month, with the latest stats pointing to 66 closures within the last year. This staggering figure continues at a rate of one venue a week.

Every Grassroots Music Venue that closes represents one less place where local communities can access affordable live music, decreased opportunities for new and emerging artists to perform live and fewer opportunities for event professionals to learn their trade.

Mark Davyd, CEO and founder Music Venue Trust, says: “It's great to be teaming up with Kerrang on The National Lottery's United by Music Tour. The team at Kerrang! were so supportive to Grassroots Music Venues during the pandemic, and the heavy music scene is such an integral part of what makes live music in the UK so essential and vibrant.”

The United By Music Tour is part of an existing partnership between The National Lottery and Music Venue Trust that aims to ensure live music is accessible to all. This has previously been achieved through previous tours (The Revive Live Tours), which saw the same two-for-one ticket deal for lottery players.

Belgian death metal quintet Carnation announce new album and stream single

Photo Credit: Gaëlle Spaas

Belgian death metal quintet Carnation proudly present their new track 'Replicant' along with an official music video. 'Replicant' is taken from the band's newest album Cursed Mortality, set for release 3rd of November 2023 via Season of Mist.

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/4AqGLUDLzKA

The album can be pre-saved HERE and pre-ordered HERE.

Frontman Simon Duson comments on the track: "What would you do if you came to realize that you were programmed to live for only four years? Would you accept the outcome, or try to figure out a way to extend your lifespan? Replicant is a song about dealing with the finiteness of our existence. The song was inspired by Roy Batty, a character from the movie Blade Runner. His tale perfectly embodies the message we want to portray with this track. Musically, it's quite diverse and different compared to most of the music we have created until now. We hope this will be a welcome surprise for new and old fans alike."

For the last decade, Carnation have been at the forefront of reviving old school death metal. There’s something to be said about the artfulness of taking something so primitive and walking that fine line between keeping its classic authenticity without sounding tired or dated. Carnation have always teetered this line, injecting a fresh and contemporary approach without losing the genre’s time-honored traditions. However, the band’s third endeavour sees Carnation erasing those boundaries entirely and abandoning any and all conventions as they traverse into daring new territory. Cursed Mortality pulls the Belgian death dealers deeper into experimental new waters, taking risks as the band steps out of the shadows of its predecessors and comes into its own identity. Cursed Mortality's statement is clear: this is no longer simply a revival; this is Carnation’s rebirth.

“We still play death metal and we still identify as such” explains frontman Simon Duson“But we know that this is also our second decade performing it. And while it is very important for us to stay true to the old-school style, we know we had to open things up a bit and reach out to those who might be interested in extreme metal, but aren’t that much into the old aspect of it. It also feels fresher to us because we’ve decided to change our visual approach, with a new logo, a new look on stage and so on. In a way, it really feels like the beginning of a new chapter for Carnation.”

Album number three is much more than just a new chapter, but rather feels like a sequel to an already storied career, punctuated by press accolades, an impressive history of live performances, and a lauded discography consisting of several EPs, splits, and two critically acclaimed full-length albums.

Shining unveil disturbing lyric video for new single 'Avsändare Okänd'

Photo Credit: Claudio Marino

Iconic Swedish metal band Shining have unleashed the second single, 'Avsändare Okänd', taken from their upcoming self-titled Napalm Records debut, out on 15th September.

Watch the disturbing lyric video here: https://youtu.be/O7MLdMoYTbA

Mastermind Niklas Kvarforth commented on 'Avsändare Okänd': “Our second single, 'Avsändare Okänd', could best be described as what 'Halmstad' or 'Varg Utan Flock' could have sounded if recorded with the current line-up. It’s the opening track of our new album and classic Shining at its absolute darkest.
 
"The physical version also includes a 
Danzig cover on the B-side, which will not be released digitally.”

Formed in 1996 and known as one of the most controversial and musically brilliant bands in the black metal scene and beyond, Shining present their eleventh offering that proves even darker than ever before. 

According to the band themselves, Shining “will be a downward journey in stereo that will drown the world in a mesmerising, inescapable darkness". The sinister, lurking second single 'Avsändare Okänd' is one of the most vicious and brutal songs in the band’s history. The unsettling accompanying lyric video adds to the disturbing atmosphere of the track.

Check out previous single 'Allt För Döden’ here: https://youtu.be/FeENVJJcX3w

Pre-order Shining here: https://napalmrecords.com/shining

Niklas Kvarforth adds: Ingo Spörl has managed to do what I never thought was possible, creating a lyric video for Shining without any direct involvement from any member of the band. His visualisation of 'Avsändare Okänd' is chillingly similar to how I myself would have done it if I had Ingo’s skills. Enjoy the haunting second single from our forthcoming eleventh album!”

The unit centred around mastermind Niklas Kvarforth roots their main musical influences in black metal, but does not fit into a single genre alone. Shining incomparably combines influences from various far-reaching genres such as classical music, jazz and progressive rock, conjuring grim moods, aching wounds and deep emptiness. Themes such as self-destruction, suicide and violence play an important role in the band’s music. Over the course of ten studio albums, including masterpieces such as the acclaimed V. Halmstad and Redefining DarknessShining has garnered a large and loyal following who adore the musical genius and eccentric nature of Niklas Kvarforth.

Niklas Kvarforth on the new album: “This is our self-titled, eleventh studio album, and it is drenched in an instantly recognisable sound which has been perfected over the last three decades, and that, today, has become the trademark of the band."

Following the album opener 'Avsändare Okänd', 'Snart Är Dem Alla Borta' starts with a hauntingly mellow intro before progressing into aggression. The first single and homage to Death, 'Allt För Döden', is a well-designed nightmare cut from the pitch-black horrors of Shining, and according to the band, is drenched in an instantly recognisable sound that has been perfected over the last three decades, and that has become their trademark today. Fourth track 'Fidelis Ad Mortem' showcases progressive rock influences that are present on several tracks featured on Shining. Instrumental piano piece 'Åttahundratjugo' calms the atmosphere down, before closing track 'Den Permanenta Sömnen Kallar' shakes the listener by instantly kicking off in black metal style from its first seconds. 

Shining is a hauntingly captivating and skillful album that features a unique metal sound in true Shining manner, serving the very best of black metal creatively combined with several other influences. The band has sparked a fiery interest with all of their previous offerings, and it is certain that their ruthless upcoming album will exceed all expectations.

Niklas Kvarforth – Vocals
Charles Hedger – Guitar
Nicolas Barker – Drums
Peter Huss – Guitar
Alex Friberg – Bass

Alt-metal trio VEXED have announced a UK headline tour, set to take place in October. The shows will be in support of the band's new album Negative Energy, out now via Napalm Records.

VEXED will be joined by special guests PULSE, as well as local supports at each show. 

Dates are as follows:

Oct 10: Glasgow Audio 
Oct 11: Leeds The Key Club
Oct 12: Cardiff Fuel Rock Club
Oct 13: Birmingham Devils Dog 
Oct 14: Southampton Suburbia 
Oct 15: Cambridge The Six Six 

Tickets are on sale here: https://bnds.us/dvk3eq
 

Check out VEXED's recent singles:


'Trauma Euphoria': https://youtu.be/nDJkqEPFqww
'X my <3 (Hope to die)': https://youtu.be/fxMBSXSOhJU
'Anti-Fetish': https://youtu.be/BrVx05brvIk

Negative Energy is the pinnacle of VEXED's musicianship, with gripping, profound and brave lyricism. Instead of opting for the forced positivity many of their contemporaries demonstrate, the Hertfordshire trio channel every ounce of their Negative Energy into these 13 tracks - recharging themselves for an uphill battle.

Stream/purchase Negative Energy here: https://lnk.to/VEXED-NegativeEnergy/napalmrecords

VEXED formed in 2019, consisting of vocalist Megan Targett, guitarist Jay Bacon, drummer Willem Mason-Geraghty and bassist Al Harper. The band quickly made a name for themselves across the UK metal scene with their hard-hitting sound and dynamic live performances.

Turning heads with their debut singles - including the fearsome 'Elite' featuring Thy Art Is Murder’s CJ McMahon VEXED quickly created a palpable underground buzz. In 2020, they signed with the independent label Napalm Records, and released their debut full-length album, Culling Culture in May the following year.

Culling Culture features ten tracks that showcase VEXED's signature sound, which combines punishing breakdowns, technical guitar riffs, and Megan Targett's fierce vocals. The album's lyrics explore themes of societal issues such as mental health and social justice and have been praised for their honesty and relatability.
 
The album was a commercial success and received widespread critical acclaim. VEXED's live shows have also garnered a reputation for being intense and energetic, with the band earning support slots with notable acts such as Spiritbox and In Flames, among others.
 
Now VEXED look to their second album, to be released 23rd June via Napalm Records. A punishing listen, from haunting intro track 'PTSD', which sets the stage of dread ahead of the carnage to come, all the way through 'Lay down your flowers' featuring Alpha Wolf vocalist Lochie Keogh and intense finale 'Nepotism'.

Like the best bands, VEXED on Negative Energy blends fury with emotion. 'Default' displays lead singer Megan Targett's high-soaring clean vocals juxtaposed against her menacing deep growls, while the album's most emotional offering, 'It's Not The End', serves as a magnificent dedication to a loved one passing away, truly manifesting their legacy.

A stunning, devastating musical conduit - Negative Energy ventilates VEXED's pain-stricken burdens and breathes life into their fresh approach, delivered with a thunderous vengeance.

Metal quartet Awakening Sun announce new EP and stream single / video

Dutch / Lithuainian metal quartet Awakening Sun return with the I Am More EP, set for a 6th October release. The group have also signed a world-wide with Seek and Strike, as EP marks their first release of this new partnership. The EP’s first single comes via the dynamic track, 'Roses,' which hits on all levels. Its new video can be seen below and showcases the band firing on all cylinders. It's a fresh, modern sound that is filled with groovy riffs, heavy hitting choruses and captivating hooks. 

Watch the 'Roses' official music video here: https://youtu.be/LgvCWB5e-iQ

Awakening Sun states: "The concept of this EP is about someone who’s trying to possess people’s minds. The person never fulfills his dreams and life-goals, that’s why he tries to make it happen through other people’s lives. ‘Roses' is the first track which was written for this EP. It’s a connection between our previous album and our new EP. The song is about people who are afraid to speak up against war crimes. In this context, we use the rose as a symbol of freedom for the people who have hope and energy to keep on fighting. The writing process of this record came really naturally from all the shit happening around us. The current state of the world inspired this EP.

"We signed with Seek and Strike because from the first moment the connection between us and guys in the label was really easy going, but on a very professional level. After looking through the label's roster, we thought we were a great fit. 

"With this release, we wanted to take the band's sound to a new level. We are always excited to work on our new material, because every band member has valuable creative input of the art that is being worked on at that moment. We are a mixture of heavy genres put into one cohesive set of music that punches through their listeners' ear drums with huge melodies, epic sections with big breakdowns. We’re very proud of this new release and thanks for checking it out.”

Blacktoothed release video for brand new single 'Novocaine'

Photo Credit: Thai Apel

German rock trio Blacktoothed have released a video for their brand new single 'Novocaine', out now via Arising Empire

Check out the video for 'Novocaine': https://youtu.be/3WYQjunJHOQ

Stream 'Novocaine' here: https://arisingempire.com/blacktoothed

Blacktoothed continue to embrace their heavy lyrical themes on 'Novocaine', exploring the well-known feeling of being either over- or underchallenged, resulting in a perpetual state of discomfort. The track is a treasure trove of elements, featuring straightforward yet compelling riffs and a signature hooky chorus. Notably, guitarist Matti showcases her vocal prowess, adding another layer of talent before the song concludes with a powerful and unexpected climax.

The band comment:

"We've always embraced the freedom of not confining ourselves to a single genre. Some might label it as a reflection of the heavy music scene's zeitgeist, but we believe that blending various elements together creates a truly distinctive song. 'Novocaine' embodies everything we love, from captivating melodies to powerful riffs and infectious beats. And let's not forget the explosive and remarkably heavy ending, which pushes our tuning to uncharted territories - it's even experimental for our own standards. Nonetheless, we're eager to share this musical adventure with the world!"

Produced by Annisokay guitarist Cristoph Wieczorek and Julian Breucker at Sawdust Recordings studio, Blacktoothed's latest album JULI saw them hone their true musical style. 

Stream/purchase JULI here: https://arisingempire.com/juli

German prog metal trio The Hirsch Effekt reveal new single 'Otus'

Photo Credit: Vollvincent

German prog metal trio The Hirsch Effekt have revealed their new single 'Otus', taken from the brilliant forthcoming album Urian, due 29th September via Long Branch Records.

Stream 'Otus' here: https://youtu.be/inok2y4xoTU

Pre-order the album here: https://thehirscheffekt.lnk.to/urian

After charting at #21 in the German album charts with previous album Kollaps, and formidable shows at Wacken Open AirFull Force FestivalArcTanGent and as recent headliners at the renowned Euroblast FestivalThe Hirsch Effekt have impressively established themselves in the German progressive metal landscape.

Bassist Ilja John Lappin comments on the new single: "It is January 2021, deepest winter and Germany is in the middle of a second, long lockdown in the Covid-19 pandemic. The days go by, the snow still falls softly, the long winter takes more strength than ever. And so the almost 10-minute long 'Otus' emerges as the first song of the album in its nearly final form as a song of contemplation, as a long journey through one's own self - in order to not succumb to the crept in self-destruction, but to embrace the hope for a better future."

The Hirsch Effekt consisting of multi-instrumentalists Nils Wittrock (vocals, guitars), Ilja John Lappin (bass, vocals) and Moritz Schmidt (drums), play an extremely variable style of music, performed to the peak of sophistication, resulting in a homogenous and enormous sound monster. Their epic, aggressive, and sinister sound, is complimented with a personal touch and frankness in the German lyrics. They signify authenticity and closeness, and stand out as a counterpart to the musical tapestry. 

The Hirsh Effekt are:

Moritz Schmidt (Drums)
Nils Wittrock (Guitar, Vocals)
Ilja John Lappin (Bass, Vocals)

Mesmeric alt-rockers Haunt the Woods stream new single 'Now Is Our Time'

Photo Credit: Steve Gullick

English alternative rock group Haunt the Woods have released their sinister and beautiful new single 'Now Is Our Time', from forthcoming second album, Ubiquity, to be released 29th September via Spinefarm.

Pre-order: https://HauntTheWoods.lnk.to/Ubiquity

Watch/stream: https://youtu.be/36wfIcCqHFY

The band comment: "Written during the global lockdown, 'Now Is Our Time' is an angered proclamation of the struggle to sustain oneself in this modern world. Forced to sell our lives by the hour in order to survive, without security or peace of mind and without a feasible alternative. 

"Now is the time for change, and the only way for change is to come together against the oppressive, archaic system we find ourselves living in."


Watch the band's previous singles here: 
'Gold': https://youtu.be/LBsunA4yXY0
'Fever Dream': https://youtu.be/2VpERm3HJhc

With elements as disparate as RadioheadJeff BuckleyThe Mars VoltaQueen and beyond, Haunt the Woods are a curiously unique, effortlessly stunning band.

In the deepest reaches of the English countryside there is a sublime sound emanating from the landscape, and its name is Haunt the Woods. Timely and yet oddly timeless, this surprisingly youthful quartet span musical decades and worlds.

Recently signed with Spinefarm, it won't be long before you hear plenty more from these musical mavericks, and with good reason. Formed in the hinterlands between Plymouth, Devon, and Cornwall, Haunt the Woods deftly interweave alt-rock, folk, prog and pop with an epic level of pomp and poetic elegance that suggests a far longer tenure than their young years suggest. There are tips of the hat to Queen and MuseJeff Buckley and Radiohead, and a sprinkled-in tinge of Beatles-loving pop sensibility and Manchester Orchestra-esque poignancy: Haunt the Woods have that rare ability to conjure legacy while creating a bold sound that is newly their own.

With two warmly received EPs and a debut album, Opaque (2020) which was released in 2020, the stage has been set for their overdue introduction to the world, which began with their stunning new single 'Fever Dream'. Cinematic in scope, operatic in texture, new album Ubiquity is a fitting illustration of the band's prowess and talent.
