  • Currents Sign New Deal With Rise Records, Announce New Album “Our Fates Lie In Tandem”

    Currents have signed a new deal with Rise Records. The band’s new album, “Our Fates Lie In Tandem,” will be released through the label on February 12.

    “Our Fates Lie In Tandem” Track Listing:

    01. “A Wound That Never Heals“
    02. “On Your Own“
    03. “Retributioner“
    04. “Lost“
    05. “Eyes For Eyes“
    06. “Broken Frame“
    07. “Reset The Sun“
    08. “Zero“
    09. “A Way Out“
    10. “Absence“
    11. “Looking At You“

    The group commented on the label deal:

    “The legacy of Rise is unmatched. The impact of their work has been felt by all of us for as long as we’ve loved music. We’re so excited to work with them on this new era of our band.”

    Vocalist Brian Wille also discussed the album:

    “There’s some social commentary and a little bit of heartbreak too. I brought the wall down, so I could be more personal than ever before. ‘Our Fates Lie in Tandem’ is not heavy for the sake of being heavy either. We agreed a track doesn’t need to be ‘a walking breakdown’ in order to make an impact. So, you’re getting the lows, the highs, and everything in between. There’s a reason for each element and meaning behind every word.”

    The band continued:

    “Putting this record together has been an intense, multi-year process that has challenged our existing framework of songwriting. We took no shortcuts in building these songs up to be the best and most cohesive of our career. While it wasn’t quick or easy to make this album, watching and participating in this project, from demos to the final masters, has been such a satisfying and cathartic experience.”

    An official video for the first single, “Retributioner,” can be found below. The band also had the following to say about that track:

    “We’re told that to get anywhere in life you need to abandon your principles and cut through others as they would to you, fostering a sense of war-mindedness regarding those we compete with, debate with, and don’t agree with. ‘Retributioner’ seeks to dismantle those ideas, even if it means dismantling the structures and systems perpetuating them.”

  • SOiL Sign With Better Noise Music, Premiere New Song “Enemy X”

    SOiL have signed with Better Noise Music. The band’s first release through the label is a new single titled “Enemy X.” You can check that out below:

    Bassist Tim King commented:

    “SOiL could not be more excited to sign with Better Noise Music. What can I say — they are the BEST at what they do in the music business and beyond. It’s a dream come true to work with Allen Kovac and his top notch team of industry experts. We can’t wait to unleash the new SOiL material to the world with them.”

    “‘Enemy X‘ is a song that is a voice for everything going on in the world today. The turmoil, the fighting, the finger pointing, the negatives. So many people focus on the drama and negative aspects of life that they lose sight of the important things. That leads to anger and confusion and eventually, hatred. At the end of the day, as the lyrics to ‘Enemy X‘ state: ‘DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO YOU’RE OUT HERE FIGHTING? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT SIDE YOU’RE ON?’ We want people to self-reflect, the world needs it right now.”

  • Green Lung Premiere “Ozymandias” Music Video

    Green Lung have premiered a new video for their song “Ozymandias.” You can check out that clip below. The track appears on the band’s latest album “Necropolitan.” Vocalist Tom Templar commented:

    “We’re excited to share a new animation from the arcane imaginations of illustrator Richard Wells and animator Joseph Brett as a Halloween treat. ‘Ozymandias’ is one of our favourite songs on this album to play in the practice space, and we can’t wait to play it on tour in December. Adapted from Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem musing on the futility of human empire-building, his words couldn’t be more relevant for today.”

  • God Complex Confirm The Departures Of Vocalist Harry Rule And Guitarist Kyle Holt

    God Complex have confirmed the departures of vocalist Harry Rule and guitarist Kyle Holt. The band are currently planning open auditions.

    The group commented:

    “Some may have noticed that throughout the year there have been shows that we’ve played that haven’t had the full GC lineup in one capacity or another.

    Whether it be a fill-in vocalist or two guitarists instead of the three that we’re-launched with early last year.

    The reason for that is that Harry Rule and Kyle Holt have decided, due to other life commitments and for personal wellbeing, to step down from GC permanently.

    All of us in GC accept and fully support these decisions together, and wish nothing but the best for both Harry and Kyle, who remain great friends and will forever.

    We’re immensely grateful to both Harry and Kyle for playing the shows that they did, long after the decision had been made, which just goes to show the calibre of person they both are.

    We’re sure both Harry and Kyle will have their own amazing other projects in the future and encourage you all to keep an eye out for those.

    We’re moving forward into the future with GC as a 5 piece lineup, and though we’ve been fortunate to have worked with many of our close friends who are incredible vocalists in a stand-in capacity over the year, touring, writing and recording in a full time band is a difficult thing for many to commit to – which we fully appreciate – and has meant we do not have a permanent vocalist.

    So, as monumental of a task it will be to replace Harry Rule as the vocalist of God Complex, we’ve decided to attempt this in a bit of a different way.

    Tomorrow at 5PM GMT, we’ll be releasing an instrumental track which we will provide a download link to for open auditions on our linktree.

    More details tomorrow.

    Danny, James, Luke and Sam”

  • The Power Of 3’s New Song “Taxi” Features A Previously Unreleased Jimi Hendrix Riff

    The Power Of 3, the project featuring Orianthi, Cindy Blackman Santana, and Rhonda Smith, have shared a new song titled “Taxi.” The track, which features a previously unreleased riff from the late Jimi Hendrix, will appear on the band’s self-titled debut album (out December 11). Orianthi commented:

    “Getting to hear something from Jimi that the world hasn’t heard before was pretty incredible. The moment I heard that riff, I knew there was something special there and immediately started imagining what we could do with it. I brought it to Cindy and Rhonda, and we just took off from there. There’s something really powerful about the three of us creating something new around a piece of music from someone who has inspired us so much. It’s our way of honoring Jimi while making something that’s completely our own.”

They’ve put in the work in the underground, bringing together their metal roots with an atmosphere and aesthetic that’s entirely their own. There’s a real sense of danger to this band. They’re evocative, unsettling and genuinely disturbing in all the right ways. Everything great black metal should be.”
