  • Chained Saint Premiere “Punk” Music Video

    Chained Saint have premiered a new video for their new song “Punk.” This track is from the band’s new EP, “Rise To Fall,” which will be released on October 9. The group said the following about the single:

    “We all know a punk in our lives. That person who talks big, plays fake, and eventually shows you exactly who they are. ‘Punk‘ is about that person, and yeah, this one’s personal. The song is fast, ferocious, and over in 1:52 because that pace matches the anger and intensity behind it. It breaks them down and spits them out like the punk they are.”

  • Artificial Brain Premiere New Song “Quantum Malignancies”

    Artificial Brain have premiered a new song titled “Quantum Malignancies.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Antillia,” which will be released on November 13 via Profound Lore.

    Bassist/vocalist Samuel Smith commented:

    “I am excited to be releasing ‘Quantum Malignancies‘ first because I think this song is a good reflection of both the change and continuity in our sound on ‘Antillia‘. The track opens with a mess of guttural vocal noise courtesy of Paulo Paguntalan, who has featured on all of our albums, and it contains a characteristically wistful arpeggiated section at its midpoint. Ian’s mix and the contributions of our new members, Mike and Alex, have imbued this material with a new sense of immediacy, though. The frantic energy of this song culminates in dueling guitar solos, which are another key part of this record’s distinct identity.”

    Vocalist Mike Paparo added:

    “On ‘Antillia‘, I wanted the lyrics of the record to reflect the human struggle with the universe and all of its horrors and unknowns. With ‘Quantum Malignancies‘, humankind is presented with a technology that could positively alter society and its future. However, this technology becomes perverted and transmuted by the grifters and plutocrats in power, leading to a massive, calculated depopulation. A cold, heartless narrative set to cold, unforgiving music.”

    “Antillia” Track Listing:

    01. “The Wandering Star Prion“
    02. “Quantum Malignancies“
    03. “Obsidian Agents“
    04. “Deciphering The Anachronistic Tongues Of The Relic Satellites“
    05. “Planet: Carrion“
    06. “Against The Furthest Reaches Of The Light“
    07. “Cosmic Death Church“
    08. “Solar Ark“
    09. “Antillia (In Chromatic Aberration)“

    “I want to let everyone know that Orgy has made the difficult decision to step away from the remaining dates of the RZ/MM tour. Circumstances arose that made continuing no longer workable for us, and although I’m not able to discuss the details, this was not a decision we made lightly. I’m grateful to everyone who supported us and came out to the shows. We have tremendous respect for the all the bands, fans, musicians, and hardworking crews involved, and we look forward to sharing what’s next for Orgy very soon via new music and shows.

  • Brent Hinds’ Estate Issue Statement Regarding Their Lawsuit Against Mastodon

    As previously reported, Mastodon are currently facing a lawsuit filed against them by the estate of the late Brent Hinds. That complaint was related to the guitarist’s ownership interests and the use of his likeness following his death. Now, the estate have issued a new statement to Guitar World.

    The estate said the following:

    “Unfortunately, public discussion has largely focused on Mastodon’s inclusion of Brent’s image in artwork for a new album and has sometimes portrayed the lawsuit as an effort by his family to obtain a windfall. That is not what the case is about.

    After Brent was excluded from Mastodon, he sought an accounting, valuation, and orderly separation of interests he held in entities owned by the founding members. He passed away before that process was finished…Brent had not yet received compensation for any of his interests.

    More specifically, it relates to whether Brent’s exclusion from the band discontinued his, and now his Estate’s, entitlement to share in Mastodon’s merchandising revenue.

    The remaining members maintain that Brent did not participate in Mastodon’s new album, yet the band chose to use a recognizable image of him to market that album and did so without the estate’s consent. This illustrates that Brent remains relevant to Mastodon’s brand even after his exclusion and death.

    The estate maintains that the band cannot fairly invoke Brent’s identity when it is commercially useful, while simultaneously denying the continuing relevance of his contributions when accounting for his interests.”

    Notably, Mastodon previously said they “strongly deny allegations of ill intent on [their] part.”
