Whitechapel have premiered a new video for their song “Prisoner 666.” That track appears on the band’s latest album “Hymns In Dissonance.”
Frontman Phil Bozeman commented:
“‘Prisoner 666’ was the first song we wrote and musically feels like the 2014/2021 Whitechapel morphing back into the 2006-2010 Whitechapel and continuing the 2006-2010 era for the rest of the album. This is the beginning of the narrative of ‘the last living son’ of the Father Of Lies coming to be. Relinquishing his faith, religion, burning the church, and serving Satan, who he believes is his father.”
Guitarist Alex Wade added:
“It’s got heavy ‘Saw Is The Law’ vibes in the opening groove; it’s like we took that song and made it more epic and melodic. The ‘beats per minute’ are pretty similar to ‘Saw….’”
State Champs have shared a reimagined version of their song “Hell Of It.” The updated track is titled “(For The) Hell Of It” and a music video for it can be found below. The group had the following to say about the single:
“We bring you ‘(For the) Hell Of It.’ A reimagined, stripped-down version of one of our favorites from the self-titled album, which was very fun to revisit and experiment with in the studio.”
Marmozets have premiered a new video for their new song “A Kiss From A Mother.” Vocalist Becca Macintyre commented:
“The message of the song is to make sure you listen, rather than just shoot straight back. Probably everyone can relate to the idea of not letting some advice go in one ear and out the other, let it actually immerse in you. As for my voice, that’s just my spirit coming out! I’m not playing a character; I’m giving it all that I’ve got.”
Skindred have premiered a new video for their new single “You Got This.” That song serves as the title track of the band’s new album, which will be released on April 17.
According to frontman Benji Webbe, the new single came about after seeing a personal trainer saying “you got this” while helping a man who was struggling with rehabilitation following a stroke. He added:
“I was watching from a distance, and I could see the struggle and the pain, but in that moment, I knew he had got this. It’s such an empowering statement and it applies to so many battles that everybody faces: it could be a recovery from a stroke, or it could be studying for your exams at school. For me, having songs that lift people who are going through tough times is the most important thing. I feel like that’s what I’m put on this planet to do.”
Drummer Arya Goggin also commented on the future:
“When you start a band, you don’t think for a second that you’re going to headline Wembley. I don’t feel like we made it happen; the audience made it happen by committing to be there and travelling so far to come. When you’re in a band you’re always looking at the next thing and it can be hard to be like, wow, what’s happening right now is amazing. There are still so many people out there who should know us but have never heard of us. So, we’ve got this whole fight ahead of us still.”

Lord Of The Lost’s Chris Harms commented:
“It was a great challenge to create a love song with such a powerful and positive message, yet with such a dark title and an even more sinister instrumental. And working with Lena, her versatile voice and her intense charisma, from the first idea to the final result, was a great journey both musically and personally!”
Infected Rain’s Lena Scissorhands added:
“I’m incredibly honored and excited to have been invited to feature on this song with Lord Of The Lost. I loved every minute of working on it, and I think the collaboration turned out very unique and its darkness is just so beautiful. I can’t wait for the world to hear it!”
