Ingested Replace Josh Davies’ Vocals On “Denigration”

Ingested guitarists Sean Hynes and Andrew Virrueta have officially re-recorded the vocals on the band’s new album “Denigration” (out May 8). This news comes after frontman Josh Davies was fired over sexual assault and misconduct allegations.

The band said the following:

“As we get closer to the release of ‘Denigration,’ we want to share an important update.

Sean and Andrew have re-recorded all vocals across the album. When the next single drops, the updated recordings will begin rolling out, and the current digital version of ‘Merciless Reflection’ will be replaced. From that point forward, the new recordings will stand as the definitive edition of the record.

All physical and digital versions worldwide will reflect these updated vocals.

This wasn’t a small decision, but it was the right one for the future of the band and the album. We’re proud of how the record stands, and it represents where Ingested is today as we move forward.

This incarnation of Ingested captures a specific moment in time and stands as a unique document of this chapter in our history.

Alongside this, we’ll begin the search for a new frontman as we build what comes next.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support us, it genuinely means everything.”

Alissa White-Gluz (Ex-Arch Enemy) Says Her New Band Will Be Called Blue Medusa

Alissa White-Gluz (ex-Arch Enemy, ex-The Agonist) has revealed that her new band will be called Blue Medusa. The project finds the frontwoman joined by guitarists Alyssa Day (Mindscar, Absentia) and Dani Sophia (ex-Till Lindemann). Bassist Alicia Vigil (Vigil Of War, DragonForce) and drummer Delaney Jaster (Stitched Up Heart) will also take part in live shows.

White-Gluz commented:

“The year of the snake is finally over – now it’s time to shed the skin.

Today, on International Women’s Day, I’m proud to announce my new band: BLUE MEDUSA.

After twenty years performing on the world’s biggest stages, I’m entering a new creative chapter. Blue Medusa is the next evolution of everything I’ve been building toward; a project where my full artistic vision can exist without limits.

You’ll hear blazing guitar solos, crushing riffs, brutal vocals, fast and aggressive drums, thoughtful melodies, and deeply introspective lyrics layered with meaning.

Blue Medusa features an incredible lineup of musicians: ⚡ Alyssa Day – guitar ⚡ Dani Sophia – guitar

Joining us live on drums and bass will be two absolute powerhouses: ⚡ Delaney Jaster – drums ⚡ Alicia Vigil – bass

I chose to share this news on International Women’s Day because building stronger platforms for women in heavy music is something I care deeply about. I’ve been carving my own path in this genre for a long time, and I want to help pave the road for the next generation of women who love metal as much as I do.

Medusa turned people to stone… I want to pave the road in sapphire. 🔹

New music is coming soon. First live appearances: Louder Than Life and Aftershock.”

Former The S.E.T. Guitarist Brady Ebert Tells Fans To Stop Supporting The Band

Former The S.E.T. guitarist Brady Ebert (Experience, ex-Turnstile) recently commented on the release of the band’s “Self Evident Truth” EP. He encouraged fans to listen to the effort, while also telling them to stop supporting the band. Here’s Ebert’s statement:

“The S.e.t. Ep came out today [March 6]. Check it out on Spotify or somewhere streaming but dont support the band, as at this point it’s more a cover band than anything. I’m proud of the sound I created and the riffs on that album, as well as the whole art direction and image that I contributed. I’m not normally one to talk on the internet or publicly as anyone who knows me knows but misinformation and lying are becoming an epidemic in this world”

Moonspell To Release New Album “Far From God” In July

Moonspell will be releasing a new album, titled “Far From God,” on July 3. A music video for the effort’s title track will debut on March 25.

Vocalist Fernando Ribeiro commented on the album during a Q&A session on the band’s Instagram:

“Let’s say the people that have listened to it now so far call it the ‘Irreligious’ [MOONSPELL’s second album, which came out in 1996] of the 21st century. And why? Because we had many places to go, so we are going to a place that is more familiar to us. So, it’s a gothic metal album. It’s an album that doesn’t have the social or quite the philosophical tones of other albums. It’s a very simple album. It’s very melodic. It’s very atmospheric. It’s very delicate and it’s very emotional for us too. It was recorded in Porto [Portugal] during these past few months with Jaime Gomez Arellano, the one that worked with us on ‘Hermitage’. There’s going to be a lot of clean vocals, yeah. But it’s also MOONSPELL. The fortunate people that have listened to it so far, people that work with us, the producer, close friends, they say it’s MOONSPELL. And for us it’s the best compliment.

It’s very, very hard to speak about our own music, and why? Because it’s an important part of our life and hopefully an important part of your life too. So the best things in life, I think, you fail to explain. It’s just a question of feeling. But what we have tried to do on this album was to try to underline some characteristics of MOONSPELL, which are more bordering the romantic and more bordering the existential vibes of our band and of our music and of our life.”

He went on to discuss the writing process:

“It was a difficult album to write. We had a lot of trial and error. I made, like, 50-something [sets of] lyrics. I had 10 album titles, and that’s not very common in MOONSPELL.”

He also explained the lengthy wait:

“In a nutshell, after ‘Hermitage’, you know what happened. There was the pandemic, there was a lot of stuff, picking up life, picking up the pieces, I would say, and finding out the direction. So the direction we did, it’s what we do the best, I think. It’s the gothic metal.

It has a bit of everything, I have to say, of the MOONSPELL nature. There are songs that are quite dark and a bit disturbing. There are songs that are very uplifting, but I think, really, it’s the ‘Irreligious’ of the 21st century. It’s an album that doesn’t have anything else than gothic and metal.”

He also talked about leaning into the band’s “gothic” side this time around:

“I’ve been listening to a lot of gothic music, not only the old legends, like FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM or THE SISTERS OF MERCY, LOVE LIKE BLOOD or BAUHAUS, et cetera, but also the FRENCH POLICE, TWIN TRIBES, a lot of Spanish goth too. And I really got into that vibe. So, we decided to go that way. It’s always hard to choose. We could make a heavier album. We could make an album in Portuguese. We could make an album industrial-like. So that’s the price of the MOONSPELL freedom. I think every fan has [their] moments with our music. Some albums were not very well understood at the beginning and then they were catching up. I think ‘Hermitage’ still has a lot of catching up to do. So let’s see how ‘Far From God’ gets you. I think it’s really a beautiful album.

To be honest, after this revival of gothic, with especially those bands, more electro bands, TWIN TRIBES, FRENCH POLICE, et cetera, I felt that the ‘gothic metal’ term was just easily abused. Because a lot of it doesn’t have pain, doesn’t have love, doesn’t have desperation. It’s just the flowers, but not the wither flowers. So it’s just the stardust but not the dust. So we decided to bring this melancholy back.”

He also added the following about the cover art:

“We’re gonna reveal it soon, probably on the March 25th too. Why not? Because I think the album is going to be on presale since March 25th already. So, the cover artwork, it’s made by Eliran Kantor. It’s a beautiful cover artwork. I loved it since the day I saw the sketch. It’s not probably the cover you expected from MOONSPELL — I don’t know why — but, yeah, I think it’s beautiful. And if fits really the album. There’ll be two or three music videos for this album. The first one is coming 25th of March.”
