• The Acacia Strain’s Devin Shidaker Launches Doom Metal Project Spirit Wound

    The Acacia Strain’s Devin Shidaker has launched a new doom metal project called Spirit Wound. His first single, “The Light Refuses Me,” can be found below. Shidaker said the following about the single:

    “Continuing my commitment to writing and releasing music whenever I feel like it, this is Spirit Wound. This has been a year filled with tremendous personal loss and tragedy, and this first song, ‘The Light Refuse Me,’ is grief coming through my stream of consciousness into song. Written in an afternoon this past summer, it’s doom, but it’s something different for me. The song is live on Bandcamp now, with the link in my bio. If you’ve got 10 minutes to spare, give it a listen. Live on the other platforms next week.”

  • Colepitz Premiere New Song “Washed In Red”

    Colepitz have premiered a new song titled “Washed In Red.” You can check that out below. The track is from the band’s new album, “The Time Between,” which will be released on October 23. Vocalist Rob Korhonen said the following about the single:

    “‘Washed In Red’s origin story is Boston in the early 2000’s. Mark Marenick and I co-wrote it and felt it never got its due. Ray and Shane took it apart and put it back together, heavier and meaner. It’s a straightforward horror song: a saw, the boiler room at 2 a.m. Every line darkly cuts two ways. The end of the world doesn’t always come for everyone at once. Sometimes it’s one house with the lights off.”

  • Former GWAR Vocalist Chuck Varga Passes Away

    Former GWAR vocalist Chuck “The Sexecutioner” Varga has sadly passed away at the age of 68. His death follows a battle with cancer.

    Bassist Casey “Beefcake The Mighty” Orr issued the following statement via Facebook:

    “Chuck Varga has left this earthly realm. He passed peacefully, his beloved wife Bambi holding his hand.

    He was one of a kind. As an artist, as a performer; as a scholar and a gentleman. I’m better for having known him and the world is lesser for his leaving.

    He is most likely being welcomed into Valhalla right now by [Dave] Brockie and Smooty [Cory Smoot] and all who went before.

    Raise your glass and tell his tales. Legends never die. Hail Varga! Hail Sexecutioner!”

  • Fearless V (Ex-Primal Fear, Etc.) Premiere “Fearless V” Video

    Fearless V (ex-Primal Fear, etc.) have premiered a new video for their new song “Fearless V.” That track is from the band’s new album, “Circus Life,” which will be released on February 26.

    Guitarist Alex Beyrodt commented:

    “With Fearless V, we seamlessly tap into the energy that has always driven us and capture the very essence of what defines us as a band: pure camaraderie and unconditional trust. The single is not just a powerful statement of our vitality, but the start of a chapter we are damn proud of — one that simply feels right from the very first second.”

    Guitarist Tom Naumann added:

    “When you start a new chapter together after so many years, one thing matters above all else: the chemistry has to be one hundred percent right. Fearless V demonstrates precisely that intuitive understanding and deep trust that have bound us together for years. We are simply incredibly fired up to make music together — without compromise, with absolute honesty, and as a tight-knit unit.”

  • Vanishing Point Premiere “Bring Me The Night” Video

    Vanishing Point have premiered a new video for their new song “Bring Me The Night.” You can check that out below. The track is from the band’s new album, “Eremition,” which will be released on November 20.

    Guitarist Chris Porcianko commented on the song:

    “‘Bring Me The Night’ is about not letting other people’s negative emotions and actions steer your direction in life. It’s high energy, heavy and very melodic, with a big ’80s AOR influence, all presented in the characteristic Vanishing Point style.”

    He also added the following about the album:

    “For us as a band, it’s always been quality over quantity. When the quality is there, that’s when it’s the right time to put it out into the world. We feel we owe it to ourselves and to our fans everywhere to bring something truly special to light, something that sits perfectly within the long legacy that Vanishing Point has.

    ‘Eremition’ is in many ways an album about loss, gain, realization, understanding, letting go and moving forward without holding onto the negative energies that sometimes complicate our lives. We hope that these songs bring a little solace and connection to all our incredible fans out there.”
