Commenting on the track, the band's frontman Jack Underkofler says: "This song took years to write and it’s one of our favorites. It’s about knowing that nothing matters, so might as well go for what brings you fulfilment and do what you want."

Chart-topping Swedish rockers tAKiDA are ringing in the New Year with their brand-new single, entitled 'Sickening'. The song is taken from their massive ninth studio album and Napalm Records debut, The agony flame, set for release on 9th February, 2024. 

'Sickening' is a musical stand-out, and marks one of the most intense, heavier-leaning tracks on The agony flame, a record rich with dark, melancholic lyrics and heavy tunes all at once.            

Watch the lyric video here: https://youtu.be/A8MEUyUkKgE  

Pre-order The agony flame here: https://lnk.to/Takida-TheAgonyFlame/napalmrecords

This new video arrives on the heels of tAKiDA’s recent announcement of their 2024 Smoke & Mirrors Tour, including an extended run through several major cities in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Supported by Those Damn Crows, the tour kicks off in Germany on 2nd April. 

Tickets are on-sale now.

Ever since their start in 1999 and breaking into the scene with their first studio album, Make You Breathe (2006), tAKiDA has become one of Sweden’s largest rock bands, garnering mind-blowing success in their home country with six platinum singles (one of them 4x platinum), three platinum albums and five #1 albums. In 2023, tAKiDA’s recent singles, cut from the upcoming album The agony flame, have exceeded the already extremely well-accomplished band’s previous international radio chart success, with 'The loneliest hour' hitting #1 on German Rock Airplay Charts, and 'Third strike' added to daily rotation at Antyradio - Poland’s biggest and most important rock radio channel. In summer 2023, tAKiDA conquered the mainstage of the legendary Wacken Open Air, performing in front of twenty thousand people. With the release of The agony flame in 2024, tAKiDA will not only celebrate 25 years of band history, but surpass their current success without the shadow of a doubt.

The agony flame embodies the distinctive, unmistakable tAKiDA sound, rich with infectious, huge choruses. On the new album, listeners get to witness some of singer Robert Pettersson’s strongest vocal performances to date.

Over the course of tAKiDA’s fruitful career, the band has regularly topped radio airplay charts, and their star doesn’t show any signs of dimming! The first track released from The agony flame, 'The loneliest hour', became the band’s biggest radio success to date by going straight to #1 on the German Rock Radio Airplay Charts after its release as a standalone single in summer 2023. In trademark tAKiDA manner, songs like 'Your blood awaits you', 'Third strike' and 'On the line' are loaded with emotion and unlimited hit potential.     

More than two decades after the band’s formation, tAKiDA’s new offering makes it crystal clear that the unit’s pop-infused rock is still relevant today. 

tAKiDA on The agony flame: “The agony flame is our “now or never”-album and you’re free to interpret that however you want. Hope you’ll like it.”

The agony flame will be available in the following formats:
1-LP Gatefold MARBLED ORANGE RED Die Hard Edition (Cotton Bag + Slipmat + Record Butler)
1-LP Gatefold SOLID RED             
1-CD Digisleeve + Shirt Bundle

Welsh post-hardcore heavyweights Casey have unveiled new single 'Selah', the final glimpse of their new album, How to Disappear, to be released 12th January via Hassle Records.

Pre-order How to Disappear and stream 'Selah' here: https://casey.ffm.to/how-to-disappear

Vocalist Tom Weaver comments: "This song was actually named by Liam [Torrance, guitar]; it was a word that I wasn’t familiar with, but I think it fits the song perfectly. 'Selah' is “an expression occurring frequently in the Psalms, thought to be a liturgical or musical direction, probably a direction to raise the voice or perhaps an indication of a pause”.

"I’ve had a turbulent relationship with religion throughout most of my life. I’ve always comfortably considered myself an agnostic, but in moments of desperation I’ve definitely sought out reassurance from a being outside of myself. 

"My overwhelming feeling towards religion is that at its best it provides a sense of belonging and community; and at its worst it serves to absolve accountability. In moments of crisis, I’ve often posed that question of “If you’re there, why are you doing this to me?”.

"'Selah' articulates that question with examples from my life. Near-death experiences or moments of pain that feel as though they shouldn’t happen beneath the benevolent gaze of something greater."

'Selah' follows Casey's previous singles 'Bite Through My Tongue' and album title track, which have seen huge radio support from Jack Saunders (Future Artists), Nels Hylton (Future Alternative), Daniel P Carter (Rock Show), Alyx Holcombe (Introducing Rock) on BBC Radio 1; Kerrang!, Rock Sound, Upset, and many more.

Casey will be taking the album on a host of UK, European, Australian and North American tour dates in 2024:

The new album caps off a joyous return for the quintet, reuniting in 2023, with seven huge shows in the UK and Germany, and the limited release of their 7'' Atone/Great Grief (Hassle Records).  

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.

Lord Of The Lost have revealed their covers album, Weapons Of Mass Seduction, wrapping up the band’s most successful year so far. Among other highlights, 2023 has seen Lord Of The Lost hitting #1 on the official German album charts, representing Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest finals, many sold-out shows, providing tour support to legendary Iron Maiden (once again), and now the release of their first full covers album - exactly one year after the release of #1 album Blood & Glitter.

Listen to their cover of 'Turbo Lover' by Judas Priest here: https://youtu.be/T8FbR4iupBA

Purchase / stream Weapons of Mass Seduction here: https://woms.lordofthelost.de

Lord Of The Lost do not show any signs of slowing down in 2024 – on top of their fast-selling “15 Years of LORD OF THE LOST” tour that is approaching in spring and two dates in the US, the outfit has already been confirmed for several big festival performances. Make sure to get your copy of Weapons Of Mass Seduction and grab your tickets for the upcoming live shows in the new year.

Lord Of The Lost state: "During the production of our last album, Blood & Glitter, while recording our Roxette cover 'The Look' in Finland, it had already become clear that we had opened Pandora's box. The energy and fun of covering the songs of beloved and respected colleagues and idols was something we were determined to continue. So even before the release of Blood & Glitter we started working on this 'covers album' project, which for us is the perfect dessert to Blood & Glitter, before we embark on the adventure of reinventing ourselves again for a new studio album."

Weapons Of Mass Seduction features a wide range of songs from different eras and genres performed in true Lord Of The Lost style, all surprisingly fitting for the band and hence forming a cohesive collection of covers. Classic heavy metal track 'Turbo Lover', originally by Judas Priest, meets modern pop hits in songs such as Sia’s 'Unstoppable', Bishop Briggs’ 'River' and Zella Day’s 'High'. Ultravox’ 'Hymn', followed by Michael Jackson’s legendary 'Give In To Me' and Keane’s 'Somewhere Only We Know', expand the multifaceted selection even further. With added rougher elements such as heavier vocals, Bronski Beat’s captivating 80s electro pop hit 'Smalltown Boy' gets a dark makeover in the hands of Lord Of The Lost. The unit’s cover of another legendary 80s song, '(I Just) Died In Your Arms', features a guest appearance from rising singer-songwriter Anica Russo, who also took part in Germany’s ESC 2023 preliminary round Unser Lied für Liverpool (EN: Our Song for Liverpool). An emotional version of The Pretty Reckless’ 'House On A Hill' closes Weapons Of Mass Seduction impactfully. 

A special 2 CD edition of the new covers album provides a cross-cut of covers previously released or already covered live over the course of Lord Of The Lost’s career. Among them are the Roxette cover 'The Look' feat. Blümchen – already known from Blood & Glitter – 'Children Of The Damned', a homage to Iron Maiden, with whom Lord Of The Lost experienced intense times during the last two years, and the cover of the Finnish ESC song 'Cha Cha Cha' by Käärijä - sung by Chris Harms completely in Finnish.

Lord of The Lost state:         
"During the production of our last album, Blood & Glitter, while recording our Roxette cover 'The Look' in Finland, it had already become clear that we had opened Pandora's box. The energy and fun of covering the songs of beloved and respected colleagues and idols was something we were determined to continue. So even before the release of Blood & Glitter we started working on this 'covers album' project, which for us is the perfect dessert to Blood & Glitter, before we embark on the adventure of reinventing ourselves again for a new studio album."

Hot on the heels of their acclaimed collaboration single 'Won't You Come' with Sophie Lloyd, rockers Marisa And The Moths have now released the video for their energetic, soul-stirring grungy pop-punk anthem 'Fake It Till You Make It'.

Watch here: https://youtu.be/YcYXm-vbZhA

Stream the single: https://music.marisaandthemoths.com/fitymi

The new single is a glimpse of the band's highly anticipated second album, due 2024. More information on this soon.

Vocalist/bandleader Marisa quips: "'Fake It Till You Make It' is the most up-tempo, pop-punk-infused track we've ever released, and we're all set for a video that's as fun and whimsical as the song itself. And then bam! Alex pulls a surprise sickie. It's almost too perfect, given the song's all about winging it. So what's the Moths solution? Swap instruments, of course! Peter (our producer/live sound engineer) as a drummer? Please, that's too mainstream. We decided to play a musical game of dress-up, with Liam playing me, which is a role I now think he was born to do. Green screens, intentional rubbishness, with a side dish of previous music video Easter Eggs–it was probably the most fun we have ever had filming a music video, and hopefully you all have as much fun watching it as we did making it!"

'Fake It Till You Make It' is a testament to Marisa And The Moth's ability to seamlessly blend raw emotion with an irresistibly catchy chorus.

The group have also announced a series of headline dates for next year, as follows:

May 02: Reading, Sub 89
May 03: Cardiff, The Globe
May 04: Southampton, The Loft

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 - as well as rave reviews from Kerrang!, Classic Rock, BBC Radio 2 Rock Show, and many more.

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. Turning heads with their alternative rock sound and powerhouse vocals, frontwoman Marisa's raw and honest lyrics make for a unique and compelling listen. The band's 2023 run of singles have offered an intimate look at her grief in overcoming an abusive relationship, and an honest insight into her battle with anxiety, depression, whilst dealing with a relapsing eating disorder, amongst other things. Listeners can expect both hope and despair as they navigate through each track.

The band kicked off 2023 with their Damned If I Do EP, featuring singles 'Wither Away', 'Pedestal', and 'If You Knew', giving listeners a taste of what's to come with their forthcoming second album. 

With previous headline tours under their belt, support slots for artists like Kris Barras Band, Von Hertzen Brothers, Those Damn Crows and As December Falls as well as appearances at festivals like 2000 Trees, Planet Rockstock and Primordial Radio's General Mayhem, Marisa And The Moths have proven themselves to be a top-tier live act.

In support of new single releases scheduled from October 2023, Marisa And The Moths will be supporting Elvana on their UK tour for 17 shows across 2023-24, playing venues ranging 500-3000 capacity.

Metalcore behemoths Any Given Day have released their new video/single 'Come Whatever May'. The track is taken from their upcoming album Limitless which is due for release on 26th January via Arising Empire.

Watch here: https://youtu.be/i2ZMb6jXV7Y

Stream and pre-order the upcoming album Limitless here: https://arisingempire.com/limitless

The video, directed by the Schillo Brothers (Electric Callboy), is a thrilling homage to the Wild West, featuring a high-octane saloon brawl that perfectly complements the band's intense sound.

Limitless is available on CD, limited coloured vinyl and a special fan box, together with unique merch options.

True to its name, Limitless explores themes of boundless potential and unbridled creativity. The album promises to be a groundbreaking addition to Any Given Day's discography, featuring tracks that push the limits of metalcore with innovative sounds and profound lyrical depth. Fans can expect a collection of songs that not only resonate with the band's signature energy but also venture into new, uncharted territories of musical exploration. Limitless is poised to redefine the genre, offering a limitless experience of musical prowess and emotional depth.

The band states: "Our new album Limitless is infused with a new vibe of positivity and energy that we've honestly never felt before. Like we shook things up but still stayed true to ourselves. This album really represents a leap into uncharted waters, ditching the formulaic for a sound that is fresh and unbound. It reflects the boundless spirit and heart we've put into every melody and lyric. Limitless is the perfect word for this new adventure – it's what you'll feel in every track and every line we've poured our hearts into for this album. We can't wait for you to hear it."

Formed in 2012, Any Given Day ignited interest with their 2014 debut My Longest Way Home (Official German Album Charts: #28). They continued to prove they were more than just an internet phenomenon with 2016’s Everlasting (Official German Album Charts: #14). The band went on to share stages of every size with the likes of Caliban, Bury Tomorrow, Trivium, and Suicide Silence, receiving euphoric reactions and rapidly growing their fanbase. 

On their 2019 full-length Overpower (Official German Album Charts: #19), Any Given Day perfected their unique blend of unruly brutality, compelling melodies and unbelievable catchiness. Surrounded by the great musicianship of his fellow band mates, one-of-a-kind vocalist Dennis Diehl handles both growls and clean vocals, putting many others to shame with his distinct, epic vocal lines. The album is packed with pummelling, in-your-face modern metal and epic arcs of suspense, all wrapped up in an uplifting message.

German post-hardcore quartet VENUES have released a video for their new single 'Radiate Me', out now via Arising Empire. The track follows recent singles 'Haunted House', 'Cravings', 'Reflections' and 'Oblivion', as well as the band's critically acclaimed sophomore album Solace.

Check out the video for 'Radiate Me' here: https://youtu.be/QMPSeu-XsG8

Stream/purchase 'Radiate Me' here: https://arisingempire.com/radiateme

'Radiate Me' is an introspective track about overcoming personal challenges and striving for self-improvement. The song's powerful lyrics depict a battle with inner demons, using vivid imagery like a 'pest plant' to symbolise life's negative influences. 'Radiate Me' stands as an anthem for those struggling with their inner selves, emphasising the beauty of a life beyond personal turmoil.

Vocalist Robin comments:

"The last year was quite tough for me, as my mother was diagnosed with two types of cancer. She immediately took up the fight and underwent chemotherapy, which was extremely hard on her. I drove her to various hospitals time and again, took care of the household, and cared for her as a person. But primarily, I saw her suffer and what the poison of this treatment did to her. The chemotherapy almost killed her. 'Radiate Me' is all of that in one song. As it stands now, she is doing well and we all hope that it stays that way. F*ck cancer!" 

VENUES went into the studio with producer Christoph Wieczorek (Annisokay) to record their latest album Solace (2021, Arising Empire), who coated their massive sound with a metallic alloy of remarkable precision.
 
“We wanted to be more metal,” Robin comments. “There were some pop sensibilities of Aspire we wanted to replace with rather the opposite.”
 
Melody and punch-drunk heaviness, metal and alternative rock, zeitgeist and authenticity, barbed choruses and unleashed creativity: with their soaring sophomore release, VENUES fulfiled every single promise they gave on Solace.
 
“2020 showed all of us how much the band is helping us keep our sanity,” guitarist Robin muses. “Almost the whole band went through minor or medium crises since the release of our debut. Relationships went sour, things were ended and begun. In times like these, our second album was the light at the end of the tunnel. Something we all could look forward to. Our music held our heads above water.”
 
It was a big leap, going from previous album Aspire to Solace, and a logical one, too. Ten songs, ten exorcisms of negative energy, ten lifesavers.

Primordial Radio is hugely excited to announce that the unique and ever-evolving London duo Bob Vylan will headline the main event of the Primordial General Mayhem on Saturday 27th April 2024. They replace Creeper who have cancelled due to other commitments. Also announced are four-piece, loud, unapologetic, rock outfit  As December Falls as main support. 

Also confirmed across the weekend are Blackgold, The Barstool Preachers, Saint Agnes, Calva Louise and North Atlas, with more to be announced soon.  

Following the resounding success of the sold-out 2023 edition, the Primordial General Mayhem has solidified its reputation as the paramount gathering for both dedicated Primordial members and rock and metal fans alike. Combining the power of music and community, the event has previously hosted the likes of Skindred, Those Damn Crows, Devin Townsend and many more over the past five years with Knotfest describing it as a "Grand Spectacle of Rock Fury". 

Building on the success of the 2023 sold-out event, the Primordial General Mayhem 2024 will be a two-day event with all band performances taking place in the main room at KK’s Steel Mill in Wolverhampton, UK on Friday 26th and Saturday 27th April 2024. 
 
Humble as the Sun, the forthcoming album from Bob Vylan continues with much of the rage and urgency that they have come to be known and loved for, but this latest project shows that they are now stronger and wiser, bolstered by the wins and learnings that they have fought hard for along the way. The resulting record aims to leave the listener feeling power alongside their anger, and brings a fresh and compelling blend of punk, rock, grime and rap together in an experimental way. 
 
Following on from the MOBO award-winning and chart-topping album, Bob Vylan Presents the Price of Life, the message woven throughout Humble as the Sun remains dark in places but is high-energy, defiant and unapologetic in its critique of a broken social and political system that so many have fallen victim to, but feel powerless against. 

As December Falls are a long way from their beginnings. The band achieved self-sufficiency early on as a matter of survival after being told they were ‘too this’ and ‘too that’ from the industry gatekeepers. Their DIY attitude and business know-how resulted in the band selling out 90% of shows on their most recent headline tour around the UK and appearing at Download, Slam Dunk Festival, 2000 Trees and more.  

Their new album Join The Club made a hugely impressive debut at No.11 in the UK Album Charts with their most recent tour selling over 10,000 tickets across the UK.  
 
Following their immensely successful tours alongside Limp Bizkit and Skindred, nu-metal powerhouse Blackgold is poised to captivate the audience at Primordial General Mayhem. Joining them is vibrant Brighton punk rockers, The Bar Stool Preachers, who will be bringing their infectious sound to the PGM for the first time. 
 
Joining the stellar lineup of bands, Primordial Radio is thrilled to introduce Saint Agnes and Calva Louise, to their inaugural performances at the Primordial General Mayhem. Additionally, they extend a warm welcome back to North Atlas, who made a memorable appearance at the PGM in 2022. Since then, the band has significantly expanded their fan base through successful performances alongside Atreyu, Enter Shikari, Lost Society, and at Download Festival.  

Speaking about the Primordial General Mayhem 2024, Music Director Pete Bailey states: 

"After the huge success of the PGM 2023, we knew we had our work cut out for us, but this is beyond anything we could have hoped for. Whilst we were of course disappointed Creeper had to withdraw, this bill is nothing short of a showcase of the immense talent we have in the UK and for those that attended the PGM in 2022 will know just how electric Bob Vylan’s live shows are. This is going to be a very special event; we can’t wait to see you all in April! "

German heavy music ensemble MAVIS, featuring vocalist Phil Donay, guitarist Manu Weller, bass player Mo Amrein, and drummer Jakob Schulz-Klein, are proud to present their debut full-length record, Grief is no Ally, out now via Arising Empire.

Order Grief is no Ally here: https://arisingempire.com/griefisnoally

Grief is no Ally marks a major step in MAVIS's evolving career. The album, featuring eleven vibrant singles, captures their unique sound and lively performance style.

This first album reflects MAVIS's commitment and skill, with each single resonating deeply with fans. Their collaboration with Lela on 'Limerent' underscores their ability to forge impactful connections. More than just an album, this release is a declaration of MAVIS's artistic identity, positioning them as a promising new influence in the music scene, enthusiastically welcomed by both long-time and new fans.

The title of the record stands for 11 stories of different forms of grieving, ranging from the dark and negative sides to the positive and healthy aspects of embracing grief, letting go. 

MAVIS planned the release of a full length in 2020 but were immediately struck with multiple setbacks in their young history. Not only did the beginning of the pandemic hit them right at the outset of their journey but so too did line-up changes due to illness, mental issues or members giving up on making music entirely. Just as they started playing again roughly eighteen months ago, their bad luck peaked with a studio fire in which they lost instruments, equipment and all merchandise. Right around that time, the two remaining members of MAVIS found a new drive, looking to complete their line-up once again. Since then the quartet have worked tirelessly on putting all their experiences into the songs that now make this jewel of a debut record. Going into the studio with a “nothing is holy”-attitude to produce the best music they can, their efforts paid off, finally, for everyone to hear.
