• Starkill Premiere “Death On Display” Music Video

    Starkill have premiered a new video for their new song “Death On Display.” You can check that out below. The track is from their new album, “Hanging Up My Halo,” which will be released on January 22.

    Frontman Parker Jameson commented:

    “We actually pulled a Dethklok where we wrote an entire record, trashed it, and started over. It was one of those moments where we sat down, put our heads in our hands, and ultimately decided it wasn’t the right direction. With this new cycle, we wanted to take everything people expect from Starkill – the blisteringly fast dual-guitar work, symphonic arrangements, and impactful choruses – and strip away any clutter to hit harder than ever. October 9th is just the first taste setting the stage for January 22nd.”

    Drummer Spencer Weidner added:

    “There’s been a gap in the melodic death metal scene for years, and we’re back to plant our flag in it. We’ve been sitting on some of this material for the better part of a decade, writing and rewriting until every track can stand on its own. To that end, ‘Death On Display’ is absolutely brutal—I wanted to write something melodic and thrashy, but with the symphonic flare you’d find in an ‘Elden Ring’ or ‘Legend of Zelda’ boss fight. I think it’s safe to say we’ve walked away with something metal fans will seriously appreciate.”

  • Bassist Ian Hill Retires From Judas Priest

    Ian Hill has retired from Judas Priest. The band will continue with Uriah Heep bassist Dave Rimmer.

    The band commented:

    “It is with heavy hearts that we are sending out this personal message from our Ian….he has been the backbone of Judas Priest for so long and will be greatly missed by us all….we wish him well in his retirement and welcome Davey into the Priest Family….”

    Hill added:

    “Hello everyone, for a long time now, when asked ‘how long can you continue’ – I’ve always answered ‘until my performances suffer’….

    I hate to say it, but that time has come.

    For some years now, I’ve been struggling with the onset of the evil arthritis, which is now in an advanced state in my left shoulder and right hand, established in my right shoulder, and present in both knees. I’ve been fighting this with painkilling pills, gels, and recently with cortisone injections in my shoulder and hand.

    Although, I was able to put bass lines to the songs for the new album, there were questions whether I’d be able to complete the recent European tour without incident, so we asked our good friend Davey Rimmer from Uriah Heep, and of course Elegant Weapons, to learn the set list to stand in for me if I had to pull out, which I did for the London show. This was due to me snapping a tendon in my left shoulder (as if I didn’t have enough problems with it!) just before the encores during the Brussels show two days before. This led to me not being able to lift my arm enough to reach the neck of my bass. So we had to call Davey to stand in for me, who put in an incredible performance at such short notice!

    I’ve seen specialists, who suggest I might get away without surgery, but even if I don’t there’s no guarantee either way that I’ll have enough strength in my shoulder/arm to complete a whole stage show.

    In view of all this, and the fact that I’ve neglected my family life for fifty seven years, I’ve decided to retire and spend the remaining years making up for it, and doing things with them before it involves one of ‘em pushing me around in a wheelchair.

    The obvious choice for my replacement is Davey. He’s a great bassist, and a genuinely nice bloke who’ll fit the job perfectly, and I wish him the very best of luck!

    There’s not a day goes by where I don’t give thanks for the incredible journey I’ve lived through, and it just remains for me to say that I love you all, and thank you for the life you’ve let me live X

    Carpenter Brut added:

  • Deafheaven Surprise Release “At Work In The Fields Of The Bomb” EP

    Deafheaven have surprise released a new EP titled “At Work In The Fields Of The Bomb.” The effort features three new tracks from the band.

    “At Work In The Fields Of The Bomb” Track Listing:

    01. “Hunter“
    02. “Three Princes“
    03. “Sorry Laid The Hearth“

    The following was said about the EP:

    ”’At Work in the Fields of the Bomb‘ borrows its title and central concept from Robert Del Tredici’s photo book documenting the ordinary places and people involved in the production of nuclear weapons. The EP explores the unsettling contrast between the unimaginable consequences of the bomb and the mundane actions that make such destruction possible, focusing on the choices and systems that lead us toward irreversible moments. It considers how catastrophe can emerge from seemingly ordinary details—and how, once extinction becomes possible, there is ultimately no one left to witness it.”

    A video for “Hunter“ and streams of “Three Princes“ and “Sorry Laid The Hearth“ can be found below:
