Without missing a beat between a rigorous ongoing string of European tour dates and teasing fans with three tantalizing singles, the eclectic Swiss trio Dirty Sound Magnet's new album Dreaming In Dystopia is released today, 20th October.

Out now via Australian label Wild Thing Records, Dreaming In Dystopia is a kaleidoscopic rock odyssey that is as equally wrapped in the warmth of nostalgia as it is unique, weaving blues rock, prog, indie, psychedelic rock, and more into one vibrant and novel sonic tapestry. Dirty Sound Magnet’s achievements with this latest release are due in part to the band’s tireless work ethic and the unbreakable bonds forged between the three men who were brought together by a shared love of classic rock decades ago in the picturesque yet isolated Swiss countryside.

Since its founding in 2016, Dirty Sound Magnet has released three studio recordings, each melding the sounds of rock’s golden age with the genre-agnostic, experimentalism of today. Besides putting out this trilogy of records, the trio of Stavros Dzodzos (guitars, lead vocals), Marco Mottolini (bass, backing vocals), and Maxime Cosandey (drums, backing vocals, special effects) would go on to perform nearly 700 shows throughout Europe, UK, and Mexico. Thanks in part to this tireless work ethic and becoming known internationally for its mesmerising live shows, Dirty Sound Magnet has, in just this short period of time, taken home the 2022 Swiss Live Talents award for ‘Best Swiss Rock Band’ and performed as support for various rock heavyweights including Wolfmother (AU), Rival Sons (US), and Monster Magnet (US).

While 2023’s Dreaming In Dystopia sits as Dirty Sound Magnet's most wonderfully expansive release to date, it also represents the most introspective chapter in the band’s story so far, seeing the trio explore how despite the chaotic nature of the world we live, certain things like the profound power of music and the dedication to self-expression and elevation through it that Dirty Sound Magnet extols, have remained constant. It’s reflective in a way that allows Dirty Sound Magnet to not only express and iterate on its ever-evolving flavor of psychedelic rock but also puts into perspective just how far the trio has come as musicians and performers. Rather than revisiting the blistering, riff-stuffed hard-rock depicted in its prior two releases, Live Alert and DSM III, Dreaming In Dystopia instead opts to wave a vivid tapestry of harmonies, soundscapes, lush sonic textures informed by the late sixties and early seventies psychedelic and progressive rock that not only inspired Dirty Sound Magnet’s inception but a decades-spanning friendship between its three members that even long precedes Dirty Sound Magnet’s formation.

'Utopia', the album’s fifth track, masterfully distills this notion into aural form, combining existential lyricism with the march of its psychedelia-laced instrumental, harkening back to Barrett-era Pink Floyd and The Mothers of Invention. Tying everything together, Dirty Sound Magnet pepper the bridge of 'Utopia' with a spaghetti-western flavour evoking the legendary film scores of Ennio Morricone. 

Dzodzos comments: "Despite Dreaming In Dystopia not being Dirty Sound Magnet you’d expect and yet it might be the album that resembles us the most. So much passion was put into making this record, yet at the same time, it all came together for us so naturally. It’s something that only the three of us together could pull off and an album that we’ll be proud of our entire life."

About Dirty Sound Magnet:

Switzerland’s Dirty Sound Magnet are an unstoppable, unbreakable force of rock. The uniqueness of their mesmerizing music and kinetic live performances has won audiences the world over. Their show is unpredictable; shamanic stage presence, rock star charisma, instrumental prowess, poetic vocals, tantalizing dynamics. As teenagers hailing from Fribourg, Stavros Dzodzos (guitar, vocals), Marco Mottolini (bass, backing vocals), and Maxime Cosandey (drums, backing vocals) devoured hundreds of albums, while rehearsing with great intensity. Their passion rapidly turned into an addiction and total dedication to their art, crafting a sound that has been likened to a fusion of Led Zeppelin's energy and instrumental virtuosity, Iggy Pop's raw energy, and The Doors' mysticism, additionally imbued with modern psych influences of bands like Tame Impala and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. This stylistic pedigree, along with thought-provoking lyrics reflecting contemporary social turmoil, Dirty Sound Magnet have created their own distinct musical formula.

In only a few short years since the band's formation, Dirty Sound Magnet swiftly established themselves within Europe’s burgeoning psychedelic rock scene, extensively touring the continent throughout 2017 to 2020. Since the release of the band’s third and most successful studio album DSM-III, Dirty Sound Magnet have performed over 130 shows, including sold-out tours in the UK, Germany, and Mexico, won the Swiss Live Talents award for ‘Best Swiss Rock Band’ for the second time, previously taking it home for the band's 2017 debut album, Western Lies. 

Dirty Sound Magnet's music is in a constant state of evolution, and their upcoming record, Dreaming In Dystopia, due on October 20, 2023, via Australian label Wild Thing Records, is a testament to their artistic progression.

Grammy-nominated extreme power metal pioneers DragonForce will release their massive new album, Warp Speed Warriors, on 15th March 2024 via Napalm Records. The legendary band of guitar virtuosos and founding members Herman Li and Sam Totman, singer Marc Hudson, bassist Alicia Vigil and drummer Gee Anzalone are set to release their most ambitious and innovative full-length so far.

On Warp Speed Warriors, DragonForce explore a wider range of varying musical styles than ever before, evolving their sound while still staying true to their roots.

The band have also served up a taste of what’s to come with their new single, 'Power of the Triforce', inspired by the Zelda game universe. 

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/K_Ln7VpB1c0

Herman Li on 'Power of the Triforce': “We're thrilled to unveil our latest track, a powerful homage inspired by one of our favorite video-game franchises, Zelda!  We're eager for metal enthusiasts of all tastes to discover something special within its depths. Brace yourselves, as we're gearing up to unleash this sonic adventure live during our upcoming tours!”

On Warp Speed Warriors, Herman Li continues: “After four years of creative incubation, we are beyond excited to release what we believe to be our most ambitious and grandiose record yet. This album showcases multiple facets of our artistic abilities, and we invite metal aficionados from every corner of the genre to discover something captivating within its layers. We can't wait to share this chapter of our musical journey with you, it's going to be EPIC!” 

Breathtaking opening track 'Astro Warrior Anthem' lives up to DragonForce’s reputation as the world's fastest band, captivating the listener from the very beginning and stunning with guitar solos delivered at an extreme speed. Following Zelda inspired track 'Power of the Triforce' keeps the volume high before DragonForce temporarily slows it down for the ballad 'Kingdom of Steel'. Rapid drum patterns and thrilling guitars carry the catchy 'Burning Heart', while chanting 'Space Marine Corp' features a strong and uplifting chorus. Electronic influences on grandiose power metal anthem 'The Killer Queen' hypnotise, as singer Marc Hudson’s vocals reach for the skies. On 'Doomsday Party', 80s rock influences meet captivating retro video game soundscapes and epic guitar solos in true DragonForce manner. The last original track on Warp Speed Warriors, 'Pixel Prison', is followed by DragonForce’s unexpected yet brilliant cover of Taylor Swift’s 'Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)' as a bonus track that wraps up the epic adventure. 

Warp Speed Warriors was produced, mixed and mastered by Damien Rainaud at Mix Unlimited in Los Angeles, California with Sam Totman and Herman Li. This album is a matchless, innovative listening experience that continues the band's legacy with songs that will, without a shadow of a doubt, become instant classics in and beyond the DragonForce canon.

Brazilian death metal outfit Crypta have released the lyric video for their track 'Stronghold', taken from their mighty second album Shades of Sorrow out now via Napalm Records.

Released in August, Crypta’s second album stormed the charts globally (#23 Official German Album Charts, #17 Official Rock & Metal Album Charts UK, #5 Top New Artist Albums & #7 Current Hard Music Albums USA, #4 Hard Music Albums CAN, and many more), and received an outstanding reception from fans and critics alike - cementing the band’s standing as one of the rising forces in today’s death metal scene.

Dubbed the “favorite young metal band of the moment” by Ghost mastermind Tobias Forge, this is another piece of evidence that the path these four women tread leads in only one direction: unstoppably to the top.

Addictive track 'Stronghold' shines as one of the most detailed and melodic tracks on Shades of Sorrow.

Stream 'Stronghold' here: https://youtu.be/lEDFyLJQy8c

Following Crypta’s successful recent European tour, the quartet will head out on a longer South
American run and a full North American tour in early 2024.

On Shades of Sorrow, the band stays true to their unique sound that was introduced on their first full-length, blending classic and modern death metal with significant extreme and black metal elements. 

Fernanda Lira (bass, vocals) on Shades of Sorrow: "Shades of Sorrow is a semi-concept album which describes a journey through the depths of our psyche when facing tough battles. It's a trip to the many shades of pain we sometimes have to face while enduring our lives’ challenges. The songs are the perfect gloomy, dark, emotional soundtrack for this journey."

It is clear that the talented women of Crypta have created another impressive masterpiece with Shades of Sorrow, presenting the very best of their technical ability and songwriting skills on this 13-track onslaught. Shades of Sorrow was recorded at Family Mob Studio, mixed by Daniel Bergstrand at 33 Stockholm, Sweden and mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studio.

International metalcore newcomers The Pauline Principle have released their new single 'Left Behind'. The quintet, comprised of members based in the US, Russia and Germany, have never actually met in real life. All band activities taking place online, they have managed to release four singles before 'Left Behind' and amass over 280K views on YouTube since their formation in 2020.

Watch the music video here: https://youtu.be/2UeBN2I1pvM

Stream the song here: https://ffm.to/leftbehindpresave

The band comment: "'Left Behind' is a song written from our vocalist Nolan’s perspective. After losing an 18-year friendship due to misunderstandings and differences, Nolan discovered he needed to dig deep and accept that not every friendship lasts forever."

The Pauline Principle began in 2020 as an online project founded by Nolan Mateer (vocals, Pennsylvania), Josh Clark (drums, Dallas), Ivan Nikolaenko (bass, Moscow) and André Hernandez (guitar, Hamburg). It quickly became apparent that the creative songwriting process was more than possible over the internet, making the great distance between the musicians a minor issue. The band is driven by the idea of standing on a stage together one day, and performing their songs live.

The name comes from the biblical Pauline principle, which states that something evil can never be justified by a good intention; the end never justifies the means. This principle can be applied in many aspects of life, from personal life decisions to historical events.

Stylistically, The Pauline Principle take inspiration from classic metalcore elements of the early 2000s. Tobi Weiss, who joined the band at the end of 2022, provides an important contribution to the band's original sound. Tobi is a professional composer for video game music, and therefore knows how to create atmospheric density through specific musical accents.

After a series of animated music videos, the band stepped in front of the camera for the first time in the music video for 'Tear Out The Pages'. A specific location of each of their hometowns was chosen as the video set to highlight the multi-nationality of the band. This approach was taken one step further in the video for 'Left Behind'. It was produced by Patrick Lawler, notably a collaborator of Nik Nocturnal. To create the dark, dystopian world for 'Left Behind', Lawler made use of state-of-the-art AI technology.

Introducing Interlaker, the brand new duo that is David Jakes, formerly of Lonely The Brave and Jack Wrench, formerly of Arcane Roots. 

Signed with Hassle Records, the band will release new single 'The Hunger' worldwide on 24th October.

Pre-save: https://ffm.to/interlaker_the-hunger

The band will be making their live debut at London's Omeara on 17th December.

Tickets will be on sale Wednesday 18th October at 10am.

Jakes was the commanding voice behind the Lonely The Brave sound. A master of melody, his lyrical talents enthralled audiences across Europe from supporting Neil Young in Belgium, to arenas with Biffy Clyro, to the main stage at Reading and Leeds festival.

Jakes has always been uncomfortable with being the centre of attention; when playing live he would stand at the back of the stage, side on, barely saying a word to the audience between songs. A total juxtaposition to the anthemic tunes he wrote - songs that felt like they could move mountains.

As Lonely The Brave grew in reputation and audience, so did Jakes' discomfort with attention and adoration. He left the band in March 2018. 

Fast forward five years and Jakes is back with Interlaker, a new musical project, with a new musical partner, Jack Wrench of Arcane Roots. Wrench, a skilled drummer, but also a multi-instrumentalist, became the perfect partner for Jakes. 

Jakes says: “Jack and I got chatting about doing some music over Instagram in the spring of 2022. I'd seen Jack, a couple to times, playing with Arcane Roots, so I knew what an amazing drummer he was. It was when he started to send over fully instrumental pieces that he'd done - drums, guitar, bass and all - that I realised we could be onto a really good thing. I think the first demo we put down - we did all the demoing together over the airwaves on Logic Pro - was a track called 'Ghostride'. So we thought we were off to a good start. It certainly wouldn't be for everyone - putting together music without being in the same room together (me in Cambridge and Jack in Brighton) but it worked out really well for the two of us. Around a year later we had 12 tracks ready to go and began the process go beginning to make a record...”

Interlaker will release their new single 'The Hunger' on 24th October.

Available on 15th December will be Interlaker's debut release, their 12'' single complete with the band's first four tracks. A must-have for early die-hard fans of this very new, very special band.

Faithful truth seekers Dogma have announced the release their debut self-titled album on 17th November via MNRK Heavy, and are streaming their new single and video 'Carnal Liberation'.

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/xGx8iK2vo6k

Stream the single here: https://ffm.to/carnalliberation

The powerful musical narrative of 'Carnal Liberation' delves deep into the human psyche. It's the seventh chapter of Dogma's gospel, and it resonates with the essence of personal transformation and empowerment. The song urges listeners to embrace challenges and obstacles as stepping stones towards self-discovery and growth. It's a testament to their belief that, no matter the difficulties we face, we can always harness them as a source of strength and liberation. This track serves as a powerful reminder that life's trials can be the catalysts for one's  evolution, turning adversity into opportunity.
 
Lilith, Dogma's fearless frontwoman, had this to say about 'Carnal Liberation': "This song is a visceral journey, right on the precipice of our grand evolution. The intense riffs, relentless pace, and hypnotic guitar solo in 'Carnal Liberation' mirror the raw energy of confronting life's challenges head-on. It's a reminder that the path to true liberation often leads through the crucible of life's trials. Embrace them, and you'll emerge stronger, closer to your ultimate evolution."

Dogma beckon us to embrace rebellion and unleash our carnal desires. They cast aside the chains of modesty, conjuring a tempest of sensuality that demands unwavering attention and passionate participation.

Be prepared, for this revelation serves as a harbinger of the impending unveiling of Dogma's forthcoming album. As they forge their sonic arsenal in the crucible of creative passion, they challenge conventions and summon the faithful to join their unyielding crusade.
 
Indulge in the auditory and visual splendor offered by the sisterhood, unraveling the enigma that is Dogma.
