  • PRESIDENT Premiere “DOOM LOOP” Video

    PRESIDENT have premiered a new video for their new song “DOOM LOOP.” This track is from the band’s new album, “BLOOD OF YOUR EMPIRE,” which will be released on September 4.

    PRESIDENT commented on the single:

    “The song is really about the strange tragedy of time — how we spend our lives chasing it, wasting it, and fearing it — only to realize its value once a moment is gone. It’s a reminder for people to be present while they are actually living their lives, not just remembering them afterwards.”

    They also added the following about the album:

    “‘BLOOD OF YOUR EMPIRE’ was born out of my own struggle with existential crisis and trying to make sense of belief, mortality, and humanity’s relationship with faith. Religion has inspired incredible compassion, purpose, and beauty in the world — but it has also been responsible for unimaginable suffering and bloodshed throughout history. This album lives in the tension between those two truths. Writing it became a way for me to confront the fear, confusion, and questions I’ve carried for years, and turn them into something I’m truly proud of.”

    “BLOOD OF YOUR EMPIRE” Track Listing:

    01. “Angel Wings”
    02. “DOOM LOOP”
    03. “dark heaven”
    04. “Pink Noise”
    05. “Mercy”
    06. “Sleepwalker”
    07. “Dionysus”
    08. “This Will Divide Us”
    09. “Hate Figure” (feat. Ando San)
    10. “White Devil”

  • XCOMM Share Music Video For “Pirates” Featuring Ghostemane

    XCOMM have shared a new video for their new song “Pirates.” The track, which features Ghostemane, is from the band’s new album, “Time To Burn,” which will be released tomorrow (May 22).

    Frontman Michael Gatto commented:

    “Im so excited for the world to finally hear this record! Every little bit of writing to preproduction to actually being in the studio recording with Ross was amazing. We’ve got a lot of shows and new music to come. This is just the beginning!

    Shooting the ‘Pirates’ music video was great, Darren Craig killed it and Ross chewed up a pickle and spit it all over my shoes for the video – homemade relish. The video captures the intensity that the song was written about. And having Ghostemane feature on the track was mind-blowing.”

    Drummer Revel Ian added:

    “Working on this record with Ross Robinson was the most cathartic experience I’ve ever had. There were no limits to what we could be or do. Playing our instruments was like breathing; you didn’t have to think it was just there; it was like an extension of our being. This record is what I’ve always wanted to do my entire life.”

  • Savatage Drummer Jeff Plate To Sit Out Sweden Rock And Heavy Weekend Festivals

    Savatage drummer Jeff Plate will not be joining the band during their performances at the Sweden Rock and Heavy Weekend festivals. During his absence, Blas Elias (Trans-Siberian Orchestra, etc.) will fill in.

    Plate commented:

    “Hey Savatage fans, hey friends. Jeff Plate here. I hope everyone is doing well, getting ready for summer and getting ready to enjoy some live music wherever you might be. Speaking of, Savatage has two amazing shows coming up in the first week of June. For the very first time, the band will be performing at Sweden Rock on June 4, followed by Heavy Week-End in France on June 5. Sharing the stage with Iron Maiden and Sabaton respectively, these are going to be fantastic shows.

    Unfortunately, I will not be able to be there with the band for these two shows. Three years ago I experienced very intense, chronic nosebleeds which resulted in some dangerous blood loss and serious health concerns. This issue was taken care of surgically and all has been good until a few weeks ago, when the bleeds started again. Having gone through this before, my management and I decided it was best that I not travel, especially by air, until this issue is again addressed and resolved.

    In my place will be Blas Elias, who has been part of the Savatage/TSO family for a decade and is the perfect man for the job. Blas is a huge fan of the music and has already played some of these songs live with TSO His years working with Al Pitrelli and Johnny Middleton will make this a seamless transition – the band will be tight and flawless and sound fantastic.

    It goes without saying how disappointed I am, but things happen and health is the obvious priority. Having said that, I am confident my doctors will take care of this problem and I will be back with the band in July for the next run in Europe. Thank you in advance for your concern, support, and well wishes. If you are lucky enough to see Savatage at these festivals, raise your fists, sing along, and enjoy some of the best progressive metal music ever written! Take care, everyone I will see you soon!”

  • Amberian Dawn Premiere “Unchained” Video

    Amberian Dawn have premiered a new video for their new song “Unchained.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Temptation’s Gates,” which will be released on June 26.

    Multi-instrumentalist Tuomas Seppälä commented:

    “It was exciting to start writing a song built around a true, traditional guitar riff. Over the years with the band, I haven’t focused much on that kind of classic riff-driven approach—but this time, it felt exactly right. The main riff came together quickly and naturally, and the rest of the song just fell into place around it, carried by the feeling that riff created. The track is very dynamic and has many different elements, and it challenged our vocalist on multiple levels. She handled it with ease brilliantly and delivered an outstanding performance. This could easily have grown into a much longer song, but I wanted to keep the structure focused and tight. The song absolutely demanded a world-class guitar solo—and Emil delivered it with complete confidence and excellence.”

    Singer Nicole Willerton added:

    “‘Unchained’ is a song that talks about breaking free from inner pain. It describes the struggle of feeling trapped by fear and judgement. The song challenges the tendency to degrade others out of fear or insecurity and reminds us that we are all human and need to be able to be ourselves. The song explores the importance of finding freedom and letting go of our demons.”
