• Devil Master To Release New Album “Bloody Dreams” In September, Premiere “You Worms’ Vain Delusions” Video

    Devil Master have announced a new album titled “Bloody Dreams.” The effort will be released on September 4 and it will include guest contributions from former drummer Chris Ulsh (Power Trip), Sigh frontman Mirai Kawashia, and Arkha Sva vocalist Ur Èmdr Œrvn. A video for the first single, “You Worms’ Vain Delusions,” can be found below:

    “Bloody Dreams” Track Listing:

    01. “You Worms’ Vain Delusions“
    02. “Trembling At Dusk“
    03. “Sex With Succubus“
    04. “Death Anthem“
    05. “Bloody Dreams“
    06. “Farewell Waltz To Unfortune’s Palace“

    Guitarist Darkest Prince commented:

    “The etymology of the word ‘gothic’ is from the Gothic tribes. They were called barbaric. Eventually, that word settled into cathedrals, which people thought looked horrific. Literature took its name from the architecture [of the day]. So, our psychedelic blend of black metal and punk is defiant. Literally the marriage and definition of the whole history of the etymology of the word ‘gothic,’ of the barbarian punk side up to the spiritual, dark, supernatural, gothic evil.

    The only thing I’m inspired by is Greek and Andean folk music, as well as Cumbia. Folk is eternal. I think that resonates with people. It’s been cultivated forever. It’s archetypal, primal. It taps into something across cultures. W. B. Yeats, the Irish poetic/occultist, is my favorite poet, and he described folk music as proud and lonely. That’s always resonated with me. OK, I still listen to a lot of G.I.S.M., Bathory, and Vlad Tepes—bands I’ve liked for a very long time—but that’s about as metal as I get. So, there’s folk music and punk in us, and there’s also a lot of psychedelic influence, too.”

  • Chat Pile Premiere “PEN I S SMALL” Music Video

    Chat Pile have premiered a new video for their new song “PEN I S SMALL.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Who Loves The Sun,” which will be released on September 4.

    Bassist Stin commented:

    “[It’s] the heaviest Chat Pile song to date. The song and title refer to a stretch of time when Raygun was working as a maintenance man at one of the local shopping malls here in OKC. He screamed himself into a pretty brutal headache tracking this one if I remember correctly”

    Vocalist Ray B. added:

    “If survival wasn’t so brutal in the United States, a maintenance job at a local mall could in theory be a fun gig… Of course, the awful beast known as Capitalism is extremely rickety with not enough to truly go around in fair share as those in the lower and even middle positions know all to well.”

  • DevilDriver Premiere “Strike And Kill” Music Video

    DevilDriver have shared an official video for the title track of their new album “Strike And Kill.” That effort will be released on July 10. Frontman Dez Fafara said the following about the single:

    “‘Strike and Kill’ is a song about individuals that have to learn lessons the hard way. Sometimes in life, you need to learn things the hard way in order to make your next decision or next move properly. Beware the moves you make at midnight behind emotion and without any thought of consequence. For you will learn lessons, and they will be taught to you the hard way.”

  • Katerina Nicole Teams Up With AngelMaker’s Johnny Ciardullo For New Song “Black On White”

    Katerina Nicole has recruited AngelMaker’s Johnny Ciardullo for a new song titled “Black On White.” You can check out that track below:

    Nicole commented:

    “This track is my way of processing a truly disgusting situation I found myself in. Having Johnny on it felt less like a traditional feature and more like a confrontation — a stand-off between two voices. That dynamic gave the song an intensity it wouldn’t have had otherwise, making it one of the most powerful tracks we’ve created.”

    Ciardullo continued:

    “Working on this song with Kat was an absolute riot. It’s not every day you get to work on a song with someone you went to high school with 10+ years down the road. From the moment I heard the demo, I was excited to work on it and see where we could take it and I’m extremely proud of what it’s turned into.”

    Producer Jordan Chase added:

    “‘Black on White’ was a very late addition to the songs we had already written, but it was an absolute blast to create. We wanted to keep Kat’s signature sound, while also making a home for Johnny’s vocal style. It came together incredibly fast —and thankfully so— because Kat and I only had four hours to finish the final touches on the music and track all of her vocals. Sometimes, having a tight deadline can create real magic. Johnny’s and Kat’s vocals complement each other extremely well, and Johnny did an amazing job adding new ideas that we hadn’t even considered while demoing the song. The power of a crossover is definitely real on this one.”
