Following the release of their most brutal, vicious, critically-acclaimed album, 2023’s Negative
Energy, UK alt-metal trio VEXED return with the video for the most poignant track on the album, 'It's not the end'.

The song is a tribute to a deceased loved one, acknowledging struggles in the grieving process.

Watch the single here: https://youtu.be/arHU6AKYVWs

Vocalist Megan Targett on 'It's not the end': "How do you carry on living when someone you love dies? The grieving process knows no concept of time, and death becomes the sole point of reference to navigate life. 'It's not the end' pays tribute to those we have deeply loved and lost, while also acknowledging the pain and loneliness that accompany those beautiful memories."

VEXED received incredible praise from national and international press for Negative Energy.
Top nods include being named one of the best albums of 2023 by Metal Hammer UK, the anthem
'Anti-Fetish' airing on BBC Radio 1 Rock Show and SiriusXM Liquid Metal, and 'Trauma Euphoria'
being spun on Kerrang! Radio’s Fresh Blood show.

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.

Austrian guitarist Max Dornauer, aka Waxamilion, has released a music video for new single 'Noseblunt', taken from his second album Random Notes which was released on 29th December. 'Noseblunt' follows 'Pawn Island', another jaw-dropping video revealed last month. 

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/lTIc_2NblOc

Stream the album here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/waxamilion/random-notes

Max comments: “'Noseblunt' is quite similar to the previous single 'Pawn Island' in the sense that it’s also short (2:19) and structured in three different, non-repeating parts. At the start it is very much sounding like myself again, like my typical catalogue. It then veers into a guitar solo that could as well be AI generated. The outro is very non-typical for my style. It’s based on chopped up samples and features more old school hip-hop sounding drums, instead of the typical modern 808 style drum sound that I usually go for. The sample from Nelly's 'Dilemma' is kind of an easter egg for the more engaged and attentive listener. 'Noseblunt' is the first tune on the album and meant to make the listener curious for the rest of the record.”

Max "Waxamilion" Dornauer, hailing from the serene landscapes of Austria, is a musician known for his easygoing style and knack for blending genres. Starting his musical journey at the tender age of six against the backdrop of the Alps, the jazz-influenced guitarist has grown into an experimental songwriter and a production fanatic.

Operating under the alias Waxamilion, Max has built a devoted fanbase through a DIY approach. Collaborating with notable artists like Jack Gardiner, Charlie Robbins (Artificial Language), Marcos Mena (Standards), Forrest Rice (Covet), Stephen Taranto (The Helix Nebula), Richard Henshall (Haken), Wes Thrailkill, Travis Orbin, and Dan James Griffin has added depth to his musical repertoire.

Max's musical fusion is a laid-back blend of RnB sophistication and the rhythmic vibes of progressive rock and metal. He effortlessly merges angular guitar lines with mellow hip-hop beats, crafting an engaging sound that occasionally ventures into exhilarating spontaneity.

Taking his tunes on the road, Waxamilion achieved a notable milestone by playing a support show for Unprocessed in Los Angeles in April 2023. This experience, coupled with captivating audiences in the United States, Mexico, and India, highlights Max's commitment to expanding his reach on the global stage.

Notably, he released his sophomore album, Random Notes, on 29th December 2023, marking a new chapter and his first album available on vinyl, adding an extra layer of warmth to his musical catalog.

American progressive metal troupe Artificial Language have released their new single 'Rain Follows'. It's the second track to be taken from their dynamic third offering, Distant Glow EP, which is set for self release on 22nd March 2024.  

'Rain Follows' is streaming everywhere now, watch the visualiser here: https://youtu.be/91mBYino-oU

The band comment: "'Rain Follows' is written from the point of view of an avaricious farmer. Due to his self-interest and belief that rain always follows the plow, the soil is now loose for the wind to lift and fill the air. When confronted by the son, the farmer seeks the son's compliance for when the community turns on them both." 

Founded in 2015, the Californians exude a musical performance full of feeling, littered with jaw dropping vocal melodies, virtuosic ensemble playing, mind-bending riffs and a crushing rhythm section, bringing to the fore a hugely evocative, contrasting and inventive prog-orgasmic soundscape.

Forthcoming release Distant Glow EP is a bold and complex record, pushing the boundaries of technical musicianship, song construction, sonic production and more. Artificial Language's finely-crafted and fully mature songwriting delivers beyond musical excellence – the songs on offer across the EP are written with interwoven multiple themes. An exploration of the consequences of choices that are made languish at the surface. Lyrically set during a dust bowl-like apocalyptic event which centres around a father and son tangled in a web of conspiracy, the EP explores coincidental events during his son's birth, the father must make a choice to believe whether his son is an innocent soul or a harbinger of annihilation. 

From the killer high energy opener, 'Two Faced Star', until the very dying moments of the boldly aggressive 'Skinwalker', a dark piece about manipulation written from the point of view of a cult leader, which brings the Distant Glow EP to a thrilling conclusion, Artificial Language scale musical heights and demonstrate remarkable creative drive, eschewing the hallmarks of a future classic in the progressive genre.

Elements of prog metal in the vein of Leprous and Haken meld with stadium-filling anthems not far removed from Muse, with the musical eclecticism and wit of Between The Buried and Me.

Led perfectly by Shay Lewis’s brilliantly powerful, emotive vocals, and backed by the technical skill and intensity of Victor Corral (guitar), Charlie Robbins (guitar), Josh Riojas (bass), Jonathon Simpson (keys) and Jeron Schapansky (drums), Artificial Language are a group ready to ascend to the next level.

The band self-released their debut album The Observer in April 2017 to worldwide critical acclaim, followed by Now We Sleep in May of 2019 which featured guest vocals from Michael Lessard of The Contortionist on the title track. The band set out on their first tour in spring of 2022, headlining in cities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles. Artificial Language made their European debut in the Summer of 2022 with a UK Tour and performance at the renowned metal festival UK Tech Fest.

The Wind Covenant are celebrating the release of their new EP, Hiraeth, which is out now via Seek and Strike, with a brand new single and video drop for 'The Straight And Narrow'. 

Watch the 'The Straight And Narrow' video here: https://youtu.be/RYeJk0jMA8E

Orded Hiraeth EP here: https://orcd.co/hiraethep 

The Wind Covenant said of the new EP and single release: "One of the most enjoyable aspects of being a band, for us, is engaging in creative and inspiring writing sessions together. When we began the writing process for Hiraeth, our primary goal was to craft a collection of songs that felt uniquely exciting to us. With this EP, our focus was on creating a solemn, melancholic, and heart-wrenching vibe. We aimed to blend elements from various genres reflecting our musical backgrounds, including melodic hardcore, black-gaze and classical music, while expanding on our metalcore and deathcore roots. The new songs place less emphasis on riffs - although they remain a significant part of our sound - instead, they serve more as a frame than a centrepiece. Throughout the writing and production process, we deliberately prioritised the emotion behind the songs as our guiding compass. This intentional shift resulted in a more personal and unique outcome.

“Our new track, 'The Straight And Narrow,' delves into the unsettling sensation of not belonging, coupled with the disappointment of realising that a situation we once hoped would bring fulfilment ultimately falls short of our expectations. In these moments, there's a yearning for the familiar and secure, a desire to retreat to a place of comfort. However, retreating to what's safe, metaphorically speaking, offers only temporary relief from the discomfort. It begs the question: Is going back to our safe place what’s right for us? Sometimes, we should maintain a determination to persevere despite the challenges. By adhering to the proverbial 'straight and narrow' path, we can strive to live our lives as authentically as possible, clinging to the hope that better days lie ahead. For us, this song encapsulates the idea of always moving forward, even when faced with adversity and uncertainty.

"This song is definitely one of the most heartfelt pieces on the EP. It carries a weighty emotional resonance that combines elements of hope, pain and melancholy. Both in its lyrics and musical composition, it captures the complexity and duality of emotions we all face during pivotal moments in our lives.

"Our main goal is to guide listeners through an emotive journey, inviting them to appreciate not only the genre essentials (impactful breakdowns and riffs), but also the deeply personal lyrics, unique sound elements, melodic intricacies and a solemn mood that transcends genres. If you’re looking for a band that brings a different flavour to the scene, we encourage you to give us a listen."

They’re a band I have always been exceptionally fond of, so to have them return and play a special fan interactive set is a proud moment. 

"It’s taken a little longer than we wanted, but we’re super happy to have day splits out there. We’ve got three final acts still to announce, so stay tuned for that!

"Next up we’ll be announcing the masterclass programme.

"Roll on July!"

RADAR - the UK's most exciting new progressive music festival - moved to Manchester for its 2023 edition, the third iteration of the festival.

RADAR Festival 2023 was a smash success, with Friday headliners Sleep Token joining Periphery (Sunday) and Igorrr (Saturday) among a host of the best from the UK progressive underground and globally. RADAR pride themselves on providing a first home for the best international artists - previous years have seen Dirty Loops' (2022) and The Callous Daoboys' (2023) first UK shows. 

RADAR capped their intensely impressive 2022 by winning the Best New Festival Award at the UK Festival Awards on 6th December in Manchester, and were shortlisted for Best Small Festival and Best Metropolitan Festival at 2023's UK Festival Awards.

With their mixture of international talent and confirmed homegrown success, RADAR Festival has already positioned themselves as a champion of forward-thinking guitar-led progressive music. No genre boundaries, welcome to all, RADAR Festival was launched in 2019 to acclaim, with performances from Animals As Leaders, Agent Fresco, Rolo Tomassi, among others. Following the COVID hiatus, RADAR Festival 2022 expanded to three days with triumphant appearances from Leprous, Haken, Dirty Loops, Plini, Conjurer, Soen and more.

RADAR Festival is all about pushing boundaries - this year introducing fresh genres to the lineup and stages - and this is just the beginning.

Grungy rockers Marisa And The Moths have unveiled another single from their forthcoming second album, What Doesn't Kill You, due for release 3rd May.

Stream 'Get It Off My Chest' here: https://ffm.to/marisaandthemoths-getitoffmychest

Pre-order What Doesn't Kill You here: https://marisaandthemoths.com/pre-order

'Get It Off My Chest' is built upon a soaring, angular riff, against a hard rock backdrop which is equal parts 
Alter Bridge and Flyleaf with a healthy sprinkle of In This Moment. A true story of mistakes made whilst trying to avoid a traumatic situation, the lyrics from Marisa are both deeply personal and brutally honest. 

Marisa says: "'Get It Off My Chest' explores giving in to temptation as a form of escape. Inspired by a personal experience, I sought refuge from drama and grief, but somehow trouble still found me (maybe even seeking it out subconsciously?).

"The song is also a contradiction of sorts: while reflecting on regrettable actions taken in moments of weakness, it also celebrates these impulses and mistakes. They're part of being human, teaching valuable lessons and guiding us to new experiences and connections. They may even help us distance ourselves from negative influences that no longer serve us."

Known for their electrifying live performances, Marisa And The Moths have built a loyal and dedicated fanbase. Their ability to connect with audiences through their music and energetic stage presence has earned them a reputation as one of the most exciting rock bands on the alt-scene today.

Marisa And The Moths will be touring the album at a series of headline dates, as follows:

May 02: Reading Sub 89
May 03: Cardiff The Globe
May 04: Southampton The Loft
May 10: Manchester Star and Garter
May 11: Nottingham Rock City Beta
May 12: London Underworld
Jun 07: Leeds Brudenell Social Club

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, Elvana 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.

Ukrainian metal titans and ambassadors Jinjer have just announced their first official live DVD/BluRay, Live in Los Angeles, set for release on 17th May 2024 via Napalm Records. Recorded and filmed on 22nd December 2022 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, CA, USA, this offering celebrates not only getting through the last few years in one piece, but also a celebration of the band's 15 year career.    

Together with the announcement of their new live offering, Jinjer have dropped a neck-breaking live video for 'Call Me A Symbol', a track originally cut from their chart breaking latest studio album, Wallflowers (2021).  

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/Ygb0lWBS_iE

Pre-order Live in Los Angeles here: https://lnk.to/JINJER-LiveInLA/napalmrecords

Through their relentless hard work, matchless talent and non-stop touring, the four-piece has manifested its standing as one of the best live acts to date, gaining them a fiercely loyal, rabid fanbase and audience of millions of people at the biggest festivals worldwide – such as Hellfest, Rock am Ring, Graspop Metal Meeting, Download Festival and Rocklahoma USA, plus sold-out headline shows across Europe and North America.

Jinjer commented on Live in Los Angeles: “Our sold-out Los Angeles show at the end of our 2022 tour was the perfect time and place to do something special - something like a long awaited DVD/live album by Jinjer. The totally packed, legendary venue, the crazy west coast vibes, and most importantly, the band delivering it with full force after being on tour for six months around the globe - from Europe to Australia and back to the USA - made this an extra special night. For the fans who joined us that night at The Wiltern, it was an unforgettable concert, but now every single Jinjer supporter around the world can experience and enjoy an ideal set featuring our biggest hits from older albums as well as recent bangers. This is not just a DVD or a live album, but a celebration of the first 15 years of the Jinjer story, right before we move on to the next chapter…”

Live in Los Angeles was a spontaneous decision by the band, recorded as raw as possible, to emphasise the passion that can come from a live show. This release is an explosive mixture of Jinjer’s discography - featuring fan favorites like 'Sit Stay Roll Over', 'Home Back' and the game-changing 'Pisces'. The live album contains 16 songs in various audio formats, with some strictly limited: the Deluxe Digipack features not only a DVD, but also two more songs, 'Wallflower' & 'Disclosure!', recorded in Paris in 2023.     

With feisty growls and soul-shattering clean vocals, the live energy of frontwoman Tatiana Shmayluk presented on Live in Los Angeles leaves the listener breathless, whilst lethally groovy riffs and multifarious drums culminate to a technical masterpiece, cutting sharp like a razorblade.
