Downfall Of Mankind announce new album and stream single feat. Matt Heafy

Portugal’s Downfall Of Mankind are a modern metal powerhouse that incorporates a myriad of eclectic influences to create a propulsive metallic beast. Their brand new track, 'Purgatory,' perfectly showcases the new, unique dynamics added into their song-writing, which results in an aggressive, yet memorable banger. This song also marks the start of the band’s new partnership with Seek and Strike, leading into the release of their new, full-length album, Purgatory, which is set for a 14th June release. 

Watch the video to 'Purgatory' here: https://youtu.be/3YKurxjcwKA 

The album was co-produced by Matthew K. Heafy (Trivium) with Heafy also performing on 'Purgatory,' as well as making an appearance in its video.

Producer Matt Heafy commented: "Downfall Of Mankind will be juggernauts of the heavy music scene in no time. Mark my words.” 

Downfall Of Mankind commented: "Excitement isn’t enough to describe how big signing this deal was for us. The fact that our work is seen and recognized by Seek & Strike is a huge step in our career. Their roster is nothing short of incredible and we were very interested from the way they approached us and set goals. They really put the right mindset into what we want to achieve and we as a band feel extremely supported.

"We felt that 'Purgatory' was a perfect introduction to the new album, due to the fact that it features most of the new elements added to our sound (clean vocals, more melody, hooks, etc), while keeping the same brutality and rawness that our fans are accustomed to hearing. This song is about paranoia. How the voices inside your head won’t stop and how it consumes you from the inside in a very brutal way. You will find that the main theme of this album, lyrics wise, is all connected to aspects of the overall human psyche. It’s something that all of us are interested in and I believe the lyrics were written perfectly to translate that. The video’s theme is based around frenetic energy and how people harness/handle it. 

"We already consider our music very interesting and diverse, but we wanted to push ourselves even more this time. That’s how it should be. We are all very creative and have wide varieties of influences. The writing process of this new record also had a very strong influence from
Matthew Heafy, bringing different elements to the table, such as incorporating different instruments from around the world. It really brought a different essence into this record and we couldn't be more excited for the world to hear it.

“Our sound is always evolving and we strive to keep it diverse and exciting. We have groove, lots of melody, heavy breakdowns, gnarly vocals, complex song structures, orchestral sections, etc. What sets us apart from the rest is the fact that we are able to take that bevy of influences and make it absolutely beautiful and unique, without being overwhelming. There’s a moment for everything, so it’s not an amalgamation of things. Think of it as a 10K puzzle. Scrambled it might not make sense, but when you assemble everything and see the picture as it is intended, it’s just amazing and satisfying. We’re not reinventing the genre, but we certainly think we offer something different and our sound will resonate across the world!"

Post-metal quartet El Moono release debut album & new single 'Marionettes'

Post-metal Brightonian quartet El Moono have released their debut album The Waking Sun, out now via Lockjaw Records. The band have also shared their new single 'Marionettes'. 

Check out 'Marionettes' here: https://youtu.be/-ogSW-NoN9k

Stream/purchase The Waking Sun here: https://elmoono.lnk.to/thewakingsun

The band comment: "'Marionettes' is about being someone’s puppet, understanding their obsessive need to control while dealing with the affects. The track is about discovering these flaws in somebody and dealing with the monotony and fatigue that comes with it, while empathising with those that are not willing to think about others. Through the walls of Hammond organs, synths and guitars re-amped through a Leslie rotary cabinet, listen out for the beer kegs being hit by a baseball bat in the riffs."

The Waking Sun was recorded at Middle Farm Studios with Sam ConeveyEl Moono recently unveiled the album at a special session at Dolby Screening Room, London, where its 360-degree spatial Dolby Atmos mix delivered depth, clarity, and sonic details unheard of elsewhere. 

El Moono will embark on a headline tour in support of The Waking Sun.

Dates as follows:

May 31: Brighton, Hope & Ruin
Jun 01: London, Paper Dress Vintage
Jun 02: EBGBS, Liverpool
Jun 03: Legends, Edinburgh
Jun 05: Bristol, Crofters
Jun 06: Birmingham, Subside
Jun 07: Cheltenham, Frog & Fiddle
Jun 08: Exeter, The Cavern

Tickets are on sale here: bnds.us/3gxjch

The Waking Sun marks an exciting turn for El Moono toward the darker and more abrasive - a more mature release from a band already marked for greatness. 

The long-awaited debut album follows El Moono's highly-regarded 2022 Temple Corrupted EP (released via Lockjaw Records). Previous tours alongside Black PeaksHaggard Cat, St Pierre Snake Invasion, and Press to MECO elevated El Moono within the new British underground, and the EP release 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.

US Deathcore unit WASTE stream new video on EP release day

US brutalists WASTE have unveiled their new single / video 'Wither', another beast of a track taken from their new EP, In Bloom, out today via Seek & Strike.

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

WASTE are the embodiment of sheer brutality, as they continuously churn out tracks that are full of heaviness and intensity. However, make no mistake, because this is not your typical deathcore band, as they incorporate more dynamics into their song-writing, which offers up a unique vision and uncompromising sound. The In Bloom EP was produced by Bodysnatcher’s Chris Whited of 1776 Recordings

WASTE state: "Our new single, ‘Wither,' was written out of pure anger towards a society that uses people as assets for their own personal goals without putting into account the real human lives. People are left behind in the gutter of feeling like their life is only useful if profitable to others until they are discarded along with all the memories and relationships made along the way. The video for ‘Wither' really wasn't intended to be super high production or anything fancy. We just wanted to visualize the energy that comes with the song."

On the new EP, the band continue: "With these new songs, we wanted to tell a story that shined light on our collective lives and experiences. We touch on things like mental health and general hardships, but we also address certain topics that we take issue with. It's no question that the world has gone through some truly crazy, even traumatizing events over the past few years and this EP tells a story of our perspective during this time. 

“Our new track, ‘Worthless,' is the first single to be released from this collection of new songs. We actually chose this to take the lead as the first single because we feel it's really the culmination of what all of these new songs bring to the table. The music video, while simple, we feel represents the chaos and frenetic energy that the song puts out.

"Something that every member of this band feels strongly about is that we don't want to try to sound like a carbon copy of any other band in our genre. We simply bring many different elements of metal that we all enjoy and create a sound that utilizes a little bit of everything, but again our aim is not to take directly from a certified band. We'll always be trying new things and with that comes something that all our listeners can find enjoyment in. We don't stick to one specific genre, or style of metal. Each song is an attempt to deliver a new experience. We strive to create a full experience for our listeners. Whether they see us live or they are just listening to us. We want to leave them feeling like they just watched a movie or just listened to the soundtrack to one. We want to invoke an emotional reaction within our listener. With it be anger or happiness, sadness or excitement. Our music is made to take the individual through their own journey. 

"There are plenty of things about this new collection of music that we are proud of, but there are most definitely a few that really showcase aspects about all these tracks. The first one being the vocal performance of this record. Jeremy came at each one of these songs with a vengeance and delivered an absolutely incredible display showcasing the range of his vocal abilities. Every single member will say the first thing that stands out are the vocals. Instrumentally, we also pushed ourselves above and beyond to create something truly dynamic, overly aggressive and unique. 

“However, arguably and most importantly, is the production side. We, once again, worked with our good friend,
Chris Whited of 1776 Recordings/Bodysnatcher drummer, for this recording. Chris has always been consistent and an absolute pleasure to work with, but this time around we can tell he took a certain different angle with this record, which resulted in the best sounding mix he's ever done. Every detail was given the time it required to make it sound the way it needed. From the drum mix to the tones, vocals and the extra production side of things, everything that was done was done with purpose. We’re stoked for you all to hear it and thanks for the support.”

Haken guitarist Richard Henshall releases new solo single 'Yang'

Photo Credit: Anne-Marie Forker

Progressive multi-instumentalist and celebrated guitarist Richard Henshall has unveiled his second single 'Yang', taken from his new EP - the first in an a trilogy - Mu Vol. 1, out 7th June.

Watch the video for 'Yang' here: https://youtu.be/nk1gDT6kiRw

Preorder Mu Vol. 1 EP here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/richardhenshall/mu

Richard Henshall comments: "I road-tested an early iteration of 'Yang' at a Strandberg clinic I did with Plini a couple of years ago. For me, it’s the rhythm that drives this track along, which is a theme that reoccurs throughout all three EPs. I decided to name this track after my cat Yang as he passed away when I was writing it. He would often perch himself on my shoulder during writing sessions and nod his approval when I hit a good chord so it seemed fitting!"

During 2020 Henshall started work on his Mu collection, a trilogy of EPs that explore his love for jazz-infused, intricate instrumental music. The EPs will be released throughout 2024 and promise to be some of his most richly textured, adventurous music to date. Richard is joined by drummer Lang Zhao and saxophonist Adam Carillio, while he handles guitar, bass & keyboard duties.

Richard Henshall is a composer, guitarist and keyboardist hailing from London, England. He is acclaimed for his work as founding member of progressive metal juggernaut Haken, as well as his endeavours as a solo artist. Henshall has been named as Music Radar’s no. 11 'best prog guitarist’ and in Guitar World’s ‘top 15 best prog rock guitarist’. 

In 2014, Henshall joined forces with Between the Buried and Me’s Dan Briggs and formed Nova Collective. Together they wrote the critically acclaimed ‘The Further Side’, which draws influences from the likes of Chick Corea and Mahavishnu Orchestra. In 2017, Henshall, alongside his Haken bandmates, featured in Mike Portnoy’s Shattered Fortress performing the songs of Dream Theater for a year of very special shows around the world.

In 2019, Henshall completed work on his ambitious debut solo album, entitled The Cocoon, which features Jordan Rudess as well as host of other guests. The music ranges from dense polyrhythmic passages to delicate minimalistic interludes and features Henshall’s trademark guitar and keyboard playing throughout along with his debut performance as a lead vocalist. Prog Radar described it as “a truly impressive release and one that shows Richard at the height of his creative powers.”

Purchase the album here: https://marisaandthemoths.myshopify.com

On the video, frontperson Marisa comments: "The story in this video is a nostalgic look back at myself as a young child, and those feelings of being an outcast and not fitting in, and how that started to change through the process of me discovering music and alternative culture. I imagined how proud that younger version of myself would be if she could see me now, embracing who I am and fronting a band, and doing all the things I used to imagine and dream about when I was little. This personal story is a really good representation of what the song is about, which is accepting and celebrating your weirdness by being true to who you are."

'The Key Of Solomon' is a straight up classic heavy metal song. A lumbering, thunderous riff straight from the book of Black Sabbath, epic 70’s soloing and that unmistakable Battlesnake sermon vocal delivery.

Of the track, Battlesnake state; “A ghastly sorceress who dwells in the catacombs of the Motorsteeple. Brewing potions and drawing pentagrams as she recites ‘the lesser key of Solomon’. She is the abbey's navigator. Long Live The Dungeon Witch!"

Battlesnake released their debut EP in 2020, a powerful 6-track release entitled Myths and Legends from Gorbag's Domain.

Blackened death unit TURIN release new single/video 'Hopeless Solutions' (MNRK Heavy)

Photo Credit: JWA Creations

UK heavyweights of misery, the intense & visceral TURIN (formerly This Is Turin), have unveiled their latest single 'Hopeless Solutions' from their upcoming album The Unforgiving Reality In Nothing, scheduled for release via MNRK Heavy on 12th July. This single offers an unapologetic look into the brutal truths of the human experience, delving into themes of mental health, the erosion of faith, and the arduous journey of releasing trauma in a fervent pursuit of self-discovery.

TURIN says, "‘Hopeless Solutions’ is a brutal & uncompromising anti-establishment death metal anthem, that focuses on how twisted and broken humanity has become. The feeling of fighting tooth and nail to defy corruption, greed and tyranny but ultimately failing as history repeats itself.”

Watch here: https://youtu.be/xyFq4onavS0
Stream and pre-order the record here: https://turin.ffm.to/theunforgivingrealityinnothingalbum

The upcoming album The Unforgiving Reality In Nothing promises a soul-crushing, savage, and remarkably abrasive musical experience. Seamlessly weaving through beautifully poignant symphonic death metal, hauntingly melancholic deathcore, and technically bold post-metal, TURIN have crafted a sonic landscape meant to be traversed. Each track presents a unique perilous journey, from the relentless onslaught of 'Abyssal' to the desolate introspection of 'Reflections,' the contemplative intensity of 'I Am The Truth,' and the raw power of 'Loss.' With each ebb and flow, listeners are drawn deeper into the abyss, culminating in the poignant finale 'Our Reality In Nothing,' a fusion of lush strings and crushing riffs that stands as the band's most personal and impactful composition to date. This track embodies a culmination of dark emotions, infused with the collective experiences and realisations of all five members, encapsulating the essence of existing within emptiness and finding solace in it. It is a creation that is both ethereal and grounded in reality, offering both escapism and a profound awakening.

Teaming up with their trusted collaborator Mike Bennett at Fox Hound Studio, as well as enlisting the expertise of esteemed UK heavy metal producer and multiple Heavy Music Awards nominee Lewis Johns (known for his work with bands like Loathe, Rolo Tomassi, Ithaca, Employed To Serve, Svalbard, Conjurer and Pupil Slicer), TURIN sought to refine their sound and elevate their artistic vision to new heights. The outcome is a creation unlike any previous endeavour by the band, showcasing a fresh and innovative direction in their musical evolution.

Influenced by a diverse range of extreme music subgenres, TURIN are known for their bludgeoning live shows, earning them Kerrang’s MCN Live Award with appearances at the UK’s top festivals such as Bloodstock Open Air and Tech Fest plus supports with Martyr Defiled, Decapitated, Within Destruction, Hacktivist, Ingested, SikTh, Origin, Dragged Into Sunlight and a collab with Thy Art Is Murder’s CJ McMahon on 2020's ‘Misery’.

Vocals: Darryl Jones

Bass: James Kinnear
Drums: Ben Adcroft

Modern metal quintet The Oklahoma Kid have released a video for their brand new single 'No Sympathy', out now via Arising Empire. Known for their very own blend of genres, the avant-garde five-piece never fall shy of pushing the boundaries and breaking old conventions.

Check out the visualiser for 'No Sympathy' here: https://youtu.be/Xy8Z9nsIDyo

Stream 'No Sympathy' here: https://arisingempire.com/nosympathy

With lyrics that cut through the facade, 'No Sympathy' confronts betrayal and personal empowerment. As the raw vocals declare, "I can see right through you," the band delve into the complexities of resilience and self-realisation. 'No Sympathy' challenges listeners to confront their emotions and take control of their own fate. With its powerful message and intense energy, this track is sure to leave a lasting impression. 

The song is about the struggles faced by vocalist Tomm Brümmer as he entered adulthood. This is his take on toxic masculinity for himself and the those, especially FLINTA (German for LGBTQ+), who suffer from it. He commented: "You are heard, I will do my best for a change."

The Oklahoma Kid deliver breathtaking modern metal that bridges the gap between technical intricacy and energising rhythms. Since forming in 2012 the band - consisting of David J. BurtscherFred StölzelRobert ElfenbeinTomm Brümmer and Andreas Reinhard - have consistently pushed boundaries and have established their foundation in the German metal scene.

After their successful debut album Solarray (2019) and struck by the global pandemic, The Oklahoma Kid set their focus on writing new music with one simple goal in mind, to better themselves and give every fan something to crave for - their 2022 album Tangerine Tragic.

Tangerine Tragic is built on the strengths of their debut Solarray. It plays with new ideas and concepts, comes gentle as a breeze and strikes hard as a wrecking ball. The album was recorded and produced by Jan Kerscher (Ghost City Recordings) and mixed and mastered by Lance Prenc (Alpha WolfPolarisDealer), which gives the production its full-blown punch.

The Oklahoma Kid toured the country with renowned acts such as Stick To Your Guns, Carnifex, Evergreen Terrace and Hatebreed, electrifying crowds with their passionate, relentless performance.

The Oklahoma Kid are no longer an insider tip and a force to be reckoned with. Whether you experience them live at a festival or on record in your living room, The Oklahoma Kid will change your perception of what metal is capable of.

The Oklahoma Kid are:
Tomm Brümmer | Vocals
Fred Stölzel | Guitar
Andreas Reinhard | Guitar
Robert Elfenbein | Bass
David J. Burtscher | Drums
