• Pro-Pain Premiere “Oceans Of Blood” Music Video

    Pro-Pain have premiered a new video for their new song “Oceans Of Blood.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Stone Cold Anger,” which will be released on May 15.

    Bassist/vocalist Gary Meskil commented:

    “A common thread runs through the lion’s share of lyrics found in ‘Stone Cold Anger’. Much of it has to do with retribution, and our first single, ‘Oceans Of Blood’, is representative of that. The frustration among people worldwide regarding the rampant corruption and criminality of their governments has reached a breaking point. Wars are being waged in their names, without any consent, funded by their own hard-earned tax dollars. With rising living costs and inflation eroding the value of money, tensions are rising. We’ve already seen this reach a critical level in countries like Sri Lanka, France, and more recently, Nepal, where desperate citizens have taken drastic actions against corrupt politicians, even resorting to violence and destruction of property. When those in power evade accountability for their actions, it leaves the populace with little choice but to assert their rights and take back control.”

    He also added:

    “Thank you to our fans worldwide for 35 years of unwavering support. After a decade away from the recording studio, we return with ‘Stone Cold Anger’ — an album forged from global tension and the rising demand for accountability. Our first single, ‘Oceans Of Blood’, captures the outrage felt as corruption, injustice, and economic pressure push people to their limits.”

  • Cage Fight Premiere “Un Bon Souvenir” Music Video

    Cage Fight have premiered a new video for their new song “Un Bon Souvenir.” This track is from their new album, “Exuvia,” which will be released on May 1.

    Vocalist Rachel Aspe commented on the single:

    “Don’t bite the hand that feeds. This song is a reference to a previous experience in a band controlled by a toxic, manipulative person. It’s a reminder that bringing people down won’t elevate you. A challenging experience, but as he once said, it’s still a good memory, ça reste un bon souvenir.”

    She also added the following about the video:

    “The video depicts the unraveling of the protagonist’s false world, built on manipulation and control. Though he initially appears strong, his convictions are fragile, revealed by his reliance on dark spiritual guidance for reassurance. Once seeming to be the rock of this world, he is exposed as a snake. This is the collapse of a false king.”

    01. “Confined“
    02. “Oxygen“
    03. “Pig“

  • Guilt Trip Release New EP “God Forgives”

    Guilt Trip have released a new EP titled “God Forgives.” The effort features three tracks including “Dirt,” “Angel Eyes,” and a new mix of “Burn.” A video for “Dirt” and “Angel Eyes” can be found below:

    Vocalist Jay Valentine commented on the EP:

    “‘God Forgives‘ is a culmination of progress and the embodiment of Guilt Trip‘s identity, whilst consciously trying to build on the style and songwriting on Severance we are yet embracing and moving with the sound we achieved on that record. The songs were written with one thing in mind: ‘Make it better’ and we hope we have hit the mark for every Guilt Trip fan out there.”

    He also added the following about the video:

    “It was birthed by a mix of transitioning lyrical themes into visuals and original ideas that we felt best represented the subject matter metaphorically. We wanted to show something other than just a live performance — a story that could entertain while relating to the music and still convey a message but be open enough for the watcher to make their own interpretations.”

  • Behemoth Comment On Cancelled Turkish Shows

    As previously reported, Behemoth and Slaughter To Prevail’s shows in Turkey were recently cancelled due to “incompatibility with [their] societal values.” Slaughter To Prevail previously condemned the cancellation of their show and Behemoth have since done the same, saying “this is another example of ideology being used to suppress artistic expression.”

    Here’s Behemoth’s full statement:

    “To our fans in Istanbul and Ankara, we are deeply disappointed to confirm that our scheduled performances in Turkey have been cancelled. Despite exhausting every possible avenue throughout the day and engaging in extensive discussions, the decision from the local authorities remains final. There is simply nothing further we can do to overturn it.

    The cancellations come after pressure from religious groups who have characterized our art as satanic propaganda and deemed it unacceptable. This is another example of ideology being used to suppress artistic expression and restrict cultural freedom. Behemoth has always stood for creative independence and the right of artists to express themselves without censorship. Music is not a threat, but silencing it should concern anyone who values freedom of expression.

    To those who planned to attend, who travelled, and who stood ready to share this night with us, we are truly sorry. We fought to make these shows happen and we share your frustration and disappointment. Turkey has some of the most passionate and dedicated fans in the world and we hope the day will come when we can return to Istanbul and Ankara and perform for you without interference. Until then, thank you for your unwavering support.”
