  • Biohazard’s Evan Seinfeld Says He Launched A Metal Fitness App Because “90% Of The Fans Of Metal Are Out Of Shape”

    During a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk,” Biohazard vocalist/bassist Evan Seinfeld discussed his Full Metal Fitness app. According to him, he pursued the venture because “90% of the fans of metal are out of shape.”

    Seinfeld said the following:

    “All my fans, the guys like you and me who grew up listening to [Judas Priest] and [Iron Maiden] and [Black Sabbath] and Metallica, are all our age. They’re in their 40s, 50s, 60s. And I gotta be honest and call it how I see it. It seems like 90% of the fans of metal are out of shape, overweight, eating toxic food, not exercising, not working out. And [I’m] not like saying it in a judgmental way. I’m here to inspire, and I’m here to help. I really got into helping people. This is like my new thing that gets me excited.”

    He also added:

    “[Full Metal Fitness is] a free at-home workout that you can do. All you need is a pair of five- or 10-pound dumbbells and a yoga mat or just a soft floor. And it’s completely guided. I don’t know if you remember P90X or Insanity, but this is modules of one minute at a time of pushups to Pantera, squats to Iron Maiden, curls to Metallica. And there’s rest modules. It’s something that really inspires me, bringing people together, building community.

    At the last festival that Biohazard played, there was 100,000 people at Bloodstock [Open Air], probably the coolest U.K. festival, period. [Editor’s note: Approximately 20,000 to 25,000 people attend the Bloodstock Open Air festival each year.] And they’re so true to metal, and they even let me DJ the after-party, and I held a full metal workout right in the middle of the festival. There was, like, 35 people there, jumping up and down, doing lunges and listening to Thin Lizzy. And we have our own playlist. You can go to Spotify, Full Metal playlist, Full Metal Fitness. You can go to the app store, download my app. So I’m coaching guys. We already have a big community of people who are in my app. So I have two offerings. One is the fitness app, and the other one is the free workout. So if you like the free workout and you’re interested in coaching and being part of a community, we have a group. We have group video calls, guys who keep each other accountable, talk about fitness and diet. When you sign up, you get a meal plan, you get a workout tailored to your specific goals, and you get an accountability partner, you get coaching calls. And some of the people, some of the people in our Full Metal Fitness program, and if you go to fullmetalfitness.com, there’s some before and after pictures, but people are getting in insane shape. We’ve built an incredible plan and it’s easy to follow. So if you love metal and you’ve been thinking about getting in shape, and I don’t know anybody who isn’t thinking they could level up their fitness in some way, but you’re gonna put in the time and effort now or you’re gonna be at the doctor… I’d rather be the old guy at the gym than the young guy in the nursing home.”

  • Mental Cruelty Premiere “Frost” Music Video

    Mental Cruelty have premiered a new video for their new song “Frost.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Echoes Of A Forlorn Land,” which will be released on October 23. The group commented:

    “‘Frost‘ is Mental Cruelty at our most chilling, capturing the desolation of Norse mythology’s Fimbulwinter both lyrically and musically. Its plodding, atmospheric, and mournful tones evoke a slow trudge through ice and snow, stretching on for three long years. Think Rotting Christ meets Wardruna: a song that’s as blackened as it is coated in white snow.”

  • Fervence Premiere “Ascension” Video

    Fervence have premiered a new video for their new song “Ascension.” That track is from the band’s new album, “Constructs,” which will be released on October 16. Guitarist Trent Odneal commented:

    “‘Ascension‘ came about because I felt like the album really needed chaos – short, fast, and seemingly out of left field. Kind of like a fever-dream with a fleeting moment of reflection before it slips away, only to be pulled back into the chaos.”

  • Foo Fighters Share In-Studio Performance Of “Caught In The Echo”

    Vocalist Dana Willax commented on the single:

    “This song has a couple of my favorite parts from the entire record, the breakdown in particular was very fun to mix and I’m hoping it hits live.”

    He also added the following about the album:

    “The last five years have been full of highs, lows, wins, losses, and roadblocks but at the end of the day we are just so happy and fortunate to continue making music that we love and to share it with anyone who cares to listen. We put our hearts and souls into this album and even though start to finish it only took us eight months, it’s feels like it’s 15 years in the making. I’m so thankful to the guys for everything they brought to the table in this process. It felt good to all be jammed into one room and hash out all our ideas in person like the good old days.”

  • The Ocean Team Up With Tangerine Dream For New Song “Milk Of My Dreams”

    The Ocean have premiered a new song titled “Milk Of My Dreams.” The track, which features Tangerine Dream, is from the band’s new album, “Solaris,” which will be released on September 25.

    The group commented:

    “Working with Thorsten [Quaeschning] has been an incredibly inspiring experience and with all of us being huge Tangerine Dream fans, a great honour of course. His knowledge of electronic music, synthesizers and sound design is extraordinary, and at the same time he’s an immensely talented and curious musician. His studio feels like a synthesizer museum — everything is connected, switched on and ready to play. What’s particularly remarkable is his ability to take a sound you can only describe in words and translate it almost instantly into something you can actually hear.”

    Quaeschning added:

    “It was a real pleasure to work on the new album by The Ocean Collective. At the same time, it was an interesting challenge for me, because I had to adjust some of my usual working methods and leave the safe harbor of familiar procedures. From my own musical microcosm, The Ocean Collective’s music moves through a wide range of shifting time signatures, which meant that most hardware step sequencers no longer worked in the conventional way.

    Of course, I could have programmed and recorded individual sections of two, three or sometimes eight bars, but I decided to play many of the sequences by hand. This made it possible to react more quickly to the time signature changes, while also giving the sequences a more organic feel through dynamics, touch and subtle timing differences. I’m very happy to be part of this album and I’m looking forward to seeing where this new collaboration may lead.”

  • Knocked Loose Celebrate 10th Anniversary Of “Laugh Tracks” With Vinyl Reissue And Merch

    “10 years of ‘Laugh Tracks.’ We recorded this thing in a week and a half with Will Putney 10 years ago. We were young; hungry, and blown away that we had grown enough to release a full length record. None of us knew it was the launchpad that would change our lives forever. To everyone who’s stuck around since then, we salute you. To everyone who’s joined us on this incredible journey, thank you so much. We hope to see you soon.”
