• Slaughter To Prevail’s Alex Terrible Announces “Blood4Blood” Bare-Knuckle Fighting And Metal Festival

    Slaughter To Prevail’s Alex Terrible will be launching a new bare-knuckle fighting and metal festival this spring. The “Blood4Blood” event will take place at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, FL on May 6 and it will feature four fights including a main card featuring Terrible and Cameron “The Bull” Delano. Slaughter To Prevail, Black Label Society, Crowbar, and Malevolence will perform as well.

    Terrible commented:

    “It is a big honour for me to finally bring Blood4Blood to life. From the beginning I wanted to create something that shows who I really am. Fighting and heavy music have always been my world, my passion, my lifestyle. To have the first Blood4Blood hosted by the biggest bare-knuckle promotion in the world and to work with the biggest live promoter in North America to build this event with me means a lot. We have four real fights and four powerful bands, Black Label Society, Crowbar, Malevolence and Slaughter to Prevail. I will step into the ring and on the stage. I give everything. This is my heart. This is Blood4Blood.”

    Promoter Danny Wimmer continued:

    “I’ve been deeply passionate about martial arts, training in jiu-jitsu and MMA for years, so when Alex and 5B brought me this concept, it immediately resonated. They laid out a vision that felt bold and authentic, and I’m proud we’re now partnering with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, who bring tremendous value and energy to this one-of-a-kind event.

    Alongside Alex Terrible of Slaughter To Prevail, we’re building something truly groundbreaking: four fights and four bands on the Wednesday before ‘Welcome To Rockville‘. Stepping into fight promotion is new territory for me, and blending rock’s energy with the raw thrill of bare knuckle action feels like a natural evolution. I’m grateful Alex and his team trusted me with the vision, and I can’t wait to step into this new arena…literally.”

    Delano added:

    “This is the kind of fight that forces greatness out of both men. We’re wired the same! Relentless, forward pressure, no quit in us. When two fighters refuse to give an inch, it turns into a war…and I am coming to win this blood bath.”

  • Butcher Babies Premiere “Lost In Your Touch” Video

    Butcher Babies have released a new song titled “Lost In Your Touch.” The track was produced by Judge & Jury Records co-founder Howard Benson and a new video for it can be found below:

    Vocalist Heidi Shepherd commented:

    “10 years ago, I watched the love of my life fall in love with someone else. I watched him fill my shoes with another girl’s touch. She slowly took my place in the late-night phone calls and early morning coffee. He replaced ‘us’ with her name on his lips. I bent between this new reality and the past that my body and heart so desperately wanted back.

    As I watched this unfold, I couldn’t help but wonder if they shared the same, deep emotional bond we once shared, and if ‘she gets lost in his touch like I do. This song brings me back to those heartbreaking moments alone; reflecting, growing, and finding myself again. I don’t take a love like that for granted now. It’s special, and deserves to be put on a pedestal.

    Recording this song with Howard was really special. From the get-go, he understood the emotion and story behind the lyrics. We both knew this song was going to be special, and treated it with the emotional sensitivity needed to not just hear the song, but to feel it.”

    Benson added:

    “I gravitated to this song immediately because of the vulnerability of the lyrics. To me, as a producer, if I can get lyrics like this that I know the vocalist will deliver — like Heidi delivers the emotions in this song — that’s so critical to the track connecting.”

  • Vulvodynia Officially Part Ways With Vocalist Zion Bittenbender

    Vulvodynia have officially parted ways with Zion Bittenbender. This news comes after the vocalist previously stepped away from the band in the wake of sexual assault allegations.

    Vulvodynia commented:

    “We would like to apologize for the delay in addressing this situation. We took time to step back and carefully consider the appropriate course of action. After serious internal discussion, we have decided to part ways with Zion. We will also no longer be participating in the upcoming US tour with Defeated Sanity.

    We take allegations of sexual misconduct extremely seriously. Our priority is maintaining an environment that reflects our values and respects our fans, peers, and the wider community. After careful consideration of the circumstances, we believe this decision is in the best interest of the band moving forward.

    We also acknowledge that aspects of how this was initially handled were not managed in the way they should have been, and we sincerely apologize. We will now begin the process of finding a new vocalist. Details regarding auditions will be shared soon. In the meantime, Lwandile will be handling vocal duties for our remaining shows this year.

    We appreciate the patience of our fans and remain committed to moving forward with focus and integrity.”
