  • Despised Icon Premiere “The Apparition” Music Video

    Despised Icon have premiered a new video for their new song “The Apparition.” This track is from the band’s new album “Shadow Work,” which will be released on October 31. Guitarist Eric Jarrin said the following about the single:

    “We are really stoked to present this third single to all of you. ‘The Apparition’ holds a special place in my heart as it is the last song I wrote for this record. With the help of Alex for the arrangements, I allowed myself to push the melodic enveloppe a bit further and came up with one of the most crushing breakdowns on the album. This song also marks our first collaboration with Simon and Disjonctés Productions. Not only did he understand the very personal lyrics of ‘The Apparition,’ Simon found a very artistic way to translate it into images while encompassing the energy of the band performing. Thanks for watching.”

  • Sabaton Premiere “I, Emperor” Video

    Sabaton have premiered a new video for their new song “I, Emperor.” That track is inspired by Napoleon Bonaparte and it appears on the band’s newly released album “Legends.”

    Frontman Joakim Brodén commented:

    “Epic battles, bold moves and a rise from nothing to emperor. Napoleon is straight up legendary and his story is basically built for a Sabaton song. Plus, this one was greatly—and I mean greatly—requested by fans. So here it is… you asked, we delivered!”

    Bassist Pär Sundström added:

    “I was excited about ‘I, Emperor,’ because I’ve seen countless requests for us to write a song about Napoleon, which is usually a sign that fans will get excited about a song. This one’s got that anthem energy, and we’ve got a feeling it’s gonna be a fan favorite. It’s punchy, powerful and seriously catchy, that’s something we all felt when Joakim was singing along to the music during the filming of the video for the song. I can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks. I’m curious to see if fans think this one should make it into the setlist for future shows!”

  • Eva Under Fire Premiere New Song “Awakening”

    Eva Under Fire have premiered a new song titled “Awakening.” Singer Amanda Lyberg commented:

    “The guys and I are stoked about the upcoming album. These songs are everything we wanted to write. We made sure it was the most honest version of our story. ‘Awakening’ is an anthem about conquering personal demons. The rest of the album is what it took to get there. It’s also a story packaged in the heaviest riffs we’ve ever played so I think listeners will be pleasantly surprised. Cheers to the new era!”

  • Nothing More Cover Nine Inch Nails’ “We’re In This Together”

    Nothing More have released a new cover of Nine Inch Nails’ “We’re In This Together.” You can check that out below:

    Frontman Jonny Hawkins commented:

    “‘We’re In This Together’ sounds like a love song colliding with a war cry. Alan Watts [the British American writer and orator] once said that ‘you are the universe experiencing itself’—and this song embodies that truth. It’s us against the world, and this song is my inner monologue.”

    Guitarist Mark Vollelunga added:

    “This song is from my favorite Nine Inch Nails’ album, The Fragile, and by far one of my favorite NIN songs. It’s such a beautiful cataclysm. Essentially, it’s a love song, but as I dove deeper, my interpretation shifted to it being about my relationship to my personal demons and mental trauma. It’s about making peace with those monsters and accepting who and what they are while realizing they will always be a part of me. It took a long time to achieve that cathartic clarity in regard to the very real nature of that evil’s presence. We actually started recording the song 11 years ago, and it’s just been lying in wait until recently. I was upset we hadn’t released it earlier, but I now believe its relevance and timing couldn’t be more immaculate.”

  • Original KISS Members Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, And Peter Criss Pay Tribute To Ace Frehley

    Original KISS members Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, and Peter Criss have paid tribute to their late bandmate Ace Frehley. As previously reported, the legendary musician died after suffering a head injury during a recent fall.

    The band said the following:

    “We are devastated by the passing of Ace Frehley. He was an essential and irreplaceable rock soldier during some of the most formative foundational chapters of the band and its history. He is and will always be a part of KISS’ legacy. Our thoughts are with Jeanette, Monique and all those who loved him, including our fans around the world.”

    Stanley, Simmons, and Criss also shared individual tributes:

    Stanley:

    “I remember 1974 being in my room at the Hyatt on Sunset in LA and I heard someone playing deep and fiery guitar in the room next door. I thought “Boy, I wish THAT guy was in the band!” I looked over the balcony… He was. It was Ace. This is my favorite photo of us…”

    Simmons:

    “Our hearts are broken. Ace has passed on. No one can touch Ace’s legacy. I know he loved the fans. He told me many times. Sadder still, Ace didn’t live long enough to be honored at the Kennedy Ctr Honors event in Dec. Ace was the eternal rock soldier. Long may his legacy live on!”

    Criss:

    “With a broken heart and deep, deep sadness, my brother Ace Frehley has passed away. He died peacefully with his family around him. My wife and I were with him to the end as well.

    I love you, my brother. My love and prayers go out to Jeanette, Monique, Charlie and Nancy and all of Ace’s extended family, bandmates, fans and friends. May the Lord comfort you at this difficult time.

    As a founding member of the rock group KISS and in Ace’s solo career, Ace influenced and touch the hearts of millions of people. His legacy will live on in the music industry and in the hearts of the KISS Army.

    At this time I ask all of you to please be respectful to Ace’s family and allow them to grieve privately.

    To the KISS Army and Ace’s Rock Soldiers, my heart is with you all… Broken… God Bless.”
