London noise-punks Muscle Vest have shared a music video for brand new single 'Glue Trap'. Recorded and mixed by the band's own Charlie Webb (guitar) and mastered by Alan Douches (Converge, Mastodon, The Dillinger Escape Plan), the one-minute and nine-second pandemonium of a track is "An autobiographical spurt of hardcore laying bare one of many perils of renting in the UK", according to vocalist Dave Rogers.

'Glue Trap' is the final piece of a disordered puzzle: Threeeps, the band's debut vinyl release, is due out on 24th November via Prank Monkey Records. As the name indicates, the record is a compilation of Muscle Vest's three EPs released to date, with two additional tracks - 'Glue Trap' and 'God Doesn't Love You'.

On 'Glue Trap', the band comment: "The song was inspired by an event unfortunately experienced by our singer, Dave Rogers. The horrifying discovery of a glue trap set by a previous tenant and left unattended under a kitchen cabinet perfectly summarises the experience of renting in the UK. And as with most summaries, it’s quick. It’s just under 1:10 of thrashing hardcore and duelling feedback that batters the senses and leaves them wanting more."

Formed in late 2018, London noise-punks Muscle Vest carve songs out of chaos. Crawling out from the filth is hard hitting, heavy music about the strain of living through a time where everything seems to get worse every year for everyone. They have released three EPs: Human Resources, Live Laugh Loathe and Hot Hot Hate, as well as a split single with Struggles With Syntax titled 'God Doesn’t Love You'. 

Muscle Vest are known for their blistering, unpredictable live show. This has been honed from years of playing in London, around Southern UK, and from various jaunts around the country (such as the Hot Hot Hate tour which saw them play 10 dates between Bristol and Edinburgh). In August 2023 the band made their international debut in front of a packed house at Supersonic in Paris. 

The band’s newest track 'Glue Trap', recorded and mixed by the band’s own Charlie Webb (guitar) and mastered by Alan Douches (Converge, Mastodon, The Dillinger Escape Plan), marks a new era in the band’s development where they have taken production in-house.

Debut vinyl release Threeeps, a compilation of the band's work to date, will be released on 24th November.

A warm and exuberant new Plini chapter arrives today, with the talented Australian guitarist and songwriter announcing his brand new EP Mirage due out on 1st December, accompanied by a vibrant new single and music video 'Ember'.

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/716ln-hgxbc
Pre-order Mirage EP here: https://www.plini.co

Armed with the Plini trademarks - sleek, dazzling and refreshing modernity, 'Ember' is an undulating journey of euphoric progressive rock and cascading instrumentals, with long-time collaborators Simon Grove on bass and Chris Allison on drums. 
 
Plini comments: "'Ember' was chosen as the first single because it's probably the most "normal" of the songs (if this sounds surprising, you may want to brace yourself for the EP). And it was an absolute treat to spend a couple of days at Dovecote shooting the music video!" 

Hinting at what is to come on his upcoming new EP Mirage, 'Ember' follows on from Plini's recent 2023 single '11 Nights' while also kickstarting an exciting new chapter for the beloved Sydney maestro.

With five new tracks lying in wait on Mirage later this year, a collection which will also feature live strings, piano, oud and a guitar solo from Animals As Leaders' Tosin Abasi alongside Plini's dexterous performance, there is plenty of sonic reverie still to come as 2023 begins to draw to a close. And with his biggest Australian tour production to date taking place earlier this year, the sky and perhaps even the galaxy is barely the limit for Plini as he ventures into a new creative phase, beckoning you along for the ride.

Plini adds, "Writing for the EP began shortly after the release of Impulse Voices at the end of 2020, while Australia was still in lockdown. The majority of the production was finished by the end of 2021, but once touring resumed, the project had to be put on the shelf for a little while, after deciding that it would be better to give it the attention it deserved than try to finish it in between flights and tours and other commitments. The wait was worth it (at least in my opinion) - couldn't be happier with how it turned out!" 

After two years of waiting patiently, Plini sprang back into action in 2022, with back-to-back sold out headline tours of Australia, India and Scandinavia, festival appearances in Australia, UK, Germany and Portugal, and performing in some of Australia’s finest theatres supporting Northlane. 
 
Always delivering mind-bending musicality from all angles, Plini has previously released two full length albums, 2016's Handmade Cities and 2020's Impulse Voices, as well as multiple EPs, singles and contributing credits with various other artists. Nominated for Live Guitarist of the Year in 2018 at the National Live Music Awards, Plini has also previously toured alongside Sleep Token, Periphery and TesseracT.

Plini is currently on tour in North America, catch him at the following dates:

More information on Plini:

Plini composes, plays guitar, records, produces and manages his unique brand of instrumental progressive rock all from a bedroom studio.

His critically-acclaimed debut album Handmade Cities was voted #5 in Guitar World Magazine’s “20 best guitar albums of the decade,” and hailed by Steve Vai as “one of the finest, forward thinking, melodic, rhythmically and harmonically deep, evolution of rock/metal instrumental guitar records I have ever heard.” Routinely mentioned in “best guitarist” lists, Plini was named #4 in the “Top 10 best prog guitarists in the world today” by Music Radar in early 2020. Plini also made Prog mag (UK)'s top 100 musicians of all time list.

Over the last few years, Plini has toured the world supporting bands like Animals As Leaders, Periphery, Tesseract and Intervals, as well as playing festivals and headlining his own tours all over North America, Europe, Australia, Asia and India. In 2018, Plini was the first instrumental act ever to play the legendary Download Festival in the UK.

Plini was a special guest instructor at “Vai Academy” in 2019, alongside Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Devin Townsend, and despite being entirely self-taught, he has been invited to give masterclasses at some of the most prestigious contemporary music colleges in the world, including Berklee College of Music, Musician’s Institute (USA), BIMM (UK), and JMC Academy (Australia).

Plini has a signature guitar with Strandberg Guitars, signature guitar amp software with Neural DSP, and endorsement deals with Yahama Music, Dunlop, D’Addario and Fractal Audio.

Scottish post-punk quartet Tijuana Bibles have released their new single 'Unknown'. The track is taken from their long-awaited debut album Free Milk, due for release on 8th December via Button Up Records.

Stream 'Unknown' here: https://tijuanabibles.ffm.to/unknown

Pre-order/pre-save Free Milk here: https://tijuanabibles.ffm.to/freemilk

The band comment on the new single: 

"'Unknown' is a bittersweet lament about losing a friend, a relationship ending, or growing apart from someone close to you. Reminiscing and wondering if they are still out there, somewhere, and what might've been if things were different - all part of the great unknown."

Tijuana Bibles will celebrate the release of their new album with a special headline show, set to take place on 16th December at Glasgow's King Tut's.

Uproarious, hellacious, all-killer hooks and chaotic dissonance. Tijuana Bibles come careering from the studio with reckless abandon and an immersive new agenda. 
 
The quartet's hotly-anticipated new material is propulsive, volatile and unencumbered by any expectation of what fans may have come to expect. 
 
Twelve warped hymns for the disenchanted generation. Themes of frustration, anxiety and isolation find escape in the dark underbelly of a desolate city. Vulnerable inner moments transform, rewild, taking aim at the political glitterati as melodies violently explode into the abyss. New music for the new world… This is the sound of modern dystopia.

Tipped by Jack Saunders as a Next Wave on BBC Radio 1’s Indie Show, Tijuana Bibles have captivated global airwaves, with support from KEXP (US), KCRW (US), and Mexico’s biggest rock radio station IBERO 90.9, who included their single 'Pariah' in their Top 5 songs of the year. 
 
Anyone that has bore witness to their live shows will attest that Tijuana Bibles' unique alchemy and charisma translates perfectly from the studio into the realm of live performance.
 
Packing out basement venues from Paris to Poznań, guerrilla gigs on the streets of their travels have punctuated huge festival appearances at Reading & Leeds, Isle Of Wight Festival, Spain’s Kutxa Kultur, Germany’s Reeperbahn and Austin, Texas’ SXSW. 

Acclaimed singles 'Human Touch' and 'Stateless' lit the fuse on Tijuana Bibles' debut album - the anthemic new single 'The Wave' is about to launch it into the stratosphere.

Tijuana Bibles are:

Tony Costello - vocals 
Danny Costello - bass
James Brannigan - guitar 
Mikey Dornan - drums

Dead Icarus, the new project of former Atreyu lead vocalist and Gold-selling artist Alex Varkatzas, have shared their new single / video 'So I Set Myself On Fire', streaming now via MNRK Heavy.

Check out the video  here: https://youtu.be/gMJARNPifmg

“'So I Set Myself on Fire' is about finding inspiration in darkness," Varkatzas says. "It's about letting your inspiration consume you so fully that it changes you into something else  - a driven, unstoppable force of nature."

Dead Icarus previously shared the videos for the new singles 'The Vultures Circle' and 'Sellout'. 

A staple of Ozzfest in the mid-2000s with two gold albums, Atreyu are one of the defining bands of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal, alongside groups like Avenged Sevenfold and Lamb Of God. Metalcore classics like The Curse and A Death-Grip on Yesterday were powered by Alex’s distinctive scream. 

The band has officially signed a worldwide deal with MNRK Heavy, with a full-length project slated for Spring 2024.

Brutal metalcore practitioners MOUTH FOR WAR unleash their new video for 'Captivated', taken from their new full-length Bleed Yourself, out today via via MNRK Heavy.

Premiered via Decibel, watch the video here: https://youtu.be/amKsECTas2M

Stream / purchase the album here: https://mouthforwar.ffm.to/bleedyourself

Catharsis builds community. As if conducting group scream therapy, MOUTH FOR WAR incite a collective release of emotion set to a soundtrack of metal intensity, pit-splitting hardcore spirit, and earth-rumbling grooves. The Colorado quintet — vocalist Trae Roberts, drummer Mason Sego, guitarists Gabe Moya and Jonah Starbuck, and bassist Michael Guglielmi — rally listeners together around unflinchingly honest and uncontainable bursts of aggression and emotion. After earning praise from Outburn, No Echo, and many more, they hold nothing back on Bleed Yourself, their second full-length and MNRK Heavy label debut.

A compelling video featuring animation by Torey Kervick and artwork by Caleb Butcher, 'Captivated' stands as a pulverising album centerpiece. Elaborates Roberts: “‘Captivated’ is a song with a strange lyrical theme in a style I've never really written before, so we knew this would be the perfect track to bring our friends Caleb and Torey in to make a crazy visual for. I wrote this track about a mushroom trip where I felt like for the first time I was visited by my late sister's spirit, oddly enough through the eyes of my cat Adelaide. I love how this video came out and we're so excited to share it with you.”

During 2019, MOUTH FOR WAR united members of underground favourites Bruise, Remain, and Sustain. Following the An Ear Kept To The Ground EP, the group unleashed Life Cast In Glass in 2021, earning widespread acclaim. Along the way, they carefully struck an elusive balance of modern and classic heavy music, nodding to Lamb Of God, The Devil Wears Prada, and Meshuggah as well as Pantera (hence their band name) and Metallica.

The band has since taken on the entire US with bands such as Bodysnatcher, Boundaries, and ZAO, and has shared stages Knocked Loose, Malevolence, and others, playing numerous sold out shows and taking crowds by proverbial storm.

Alternative quartet El Moono return with their monstrous new single 'Chains' (Lockjaw Records), their first material in eighteen months.

Stream here: https://elmoono.lnk.to/chainsPR

The band comment: "'Chains' is the riff-loaded, angry yet emotive first peek at our debut album. The track is themed around emotionally abusive relationships, and is already a mainstay of our setlists, starting mosh pits at ArcTanGent, RADAR and Burn it Down Festivals already, proving its place as a fan-favourite. Mastered by Acle Kahney from TesseracT, recorded at Middle Farm Studios, we feel 'Chains' is the perfect way to begin the new era."

The single marks a new beginning for El Moono, following their highly-regarded 2022 Temple Corrupted EP (released via Lockjaw Records). Previous tours alongside Black Peaks, Haggard Cat, Fangclub, and Press to MECO marked El Moono as a band to watch, well before the release of the EP which garnered notable praise from Metal Hammer, Kerrang! and Guitar World. With influences of rock, hardcore, metal and grunge, the band's off-kilter and oftentimes mind-bending riffs, emotive songs and expressive lyricism combine to create a sound that’s difficult to pigeonhole.

The news follows a joyous return for the quintet in 2023, including seven huge shows in the UK and Germany, and the limited release of their 7'' Atone/Great Grief (Hassle Records). Casey will also shortly be supporting Funeral For A Friend with Dashboard Confessional at London's Roundhouse, 15th October.

Casey, at its core, was grounded in the notion that music is a labour of love. Without expectation of success, without desire to attain stardom, just a shared yearning to create music - and when this no longer rang true Casey stayed true to themselves, and stepped away.

In late 2018, when Casey announced they were bringing the band to a close, it felt like a premature demise. Their first two LPs - 2016 Love Is Not Enough and 2018’s Where I Go When I Am Sleeping – had firmly established the Welsh five-piece as one of the most exciting bands in Britain’s alternative scene.

Now, years later, the band have returned - bigger and better than ever before. Casey don't just replicate the feelings that inspire them - they embody them.

New York sludge metallers Somnuri have released their new video for 'The Way Out'. Premiered via Revolver, the stirring track comes by way of the band's third full length, Desiderium, which was released in July via MNRK Heavy.  

Check out the video for 'The Way Out' here: https://youtu.be/TXcT4_atPxg

Order Desiderium here: https://somnuri.ffm.to/desiderium_

Writes Revolver, “The record closes with the epic, crushing, and eerily catchy closer ‘The Way Out’... The visual features close-up footage of the band playing while drenched in rain, spliced with shots of a mystery woman in white — who may or may not be inspired by a trippy dream guitarist-vocalist Justin Sherrell had about his grandmother.” 

Further elaborates Sherrell, "'The Way Out' came to be after a dream I had of my grandmother who had passed on almost ten years prior. She visited me on a beach and shared some personal messages but without the use of words. I had the distinct feeling she was telling me that everything was going to be ok. The date of the dream also happened to be on the anniversary of her husband's passing, a date before I was born and one that I was previously unaware of."

Watch the band’s previously released videos for 'What A Way To Go' HERE, 'Death Is The Beginning' HERE, and 'Paramnesia' HERE.

Recorded at Gojira’s Silver Cord Studios, mixed by Justin Mantooth at Westend Studios, and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege Mastering, Desiderium is a true crusade through a black hole of sounds and heaviness. Weaving their way seamlessly through a variety of tempos and timbres, the band gives some well-trodden genres new roads to travel. Every song is an amalgamation of what makes rock kinetic, bridging a gap between acts like Helmet, Karp, Handsome, and Quicksand with the sonic journeys of an Isis or Jesu. It’s their thirst for exploration that makes Somnuri who they are: they’re an ascendant band, not constrained by any label or descriptor.

Somnuri are:

Justin Sherrell – guitar, vocals
Phil SanGiacomo – drums
Mike G – bass
Chris Drapeau – guitar
