  • unpeople Premiere “clouds” Music Video

    unpeople have premiered a new video for their new song “clouds.” You can check out that clip below. Frontman Jake Crawford commented:

    “‘clouds’ is essentially about not letting yourself be influenced by what other people think you should be doing to get ahead artistically, and trusting your own vision and process. I could feel myself being pulled in lots of directions when we started the band and I’m glad we stuck to our guns. I feel like this song is an excellent representation of us doing just that: ‘Not buying it,’ i.e. quick fixes or hopping on trends — be it musically or the way we present ourselves as a unit.”

  • Amberian Dawn Premiere “The Vision Of Dreaming” Video

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

    Multi-instrumentalist Tuomas Seppälä commented:

    “I originally composed ‘The Vision of Dreaming’ back in 2021, but it truly found its final form only now as we began working on it together with our new vocalist. It represents the lighter side of the album, but it still has a nice metal bite to it. I spent a great deal of time carefully crafting its sonic atmosphere. The foundation is built largely on carefully selected analog synthesizer sounds, combined with thoughtfully detailed arrangements. There’s a clear touch of ABBA-like atmosphere in the song, yet at the same time, it has a fresh and heavier edge that makes it unmistakably part of our world.”

    Singer Nicole Willerton added:

    “The lyrics of ‘The Vision of Dreaming’ are dreamy and describe the deep spiritual and emotional connection between two people. It explores how their shared memories, emotions, and dreams keep them intertwined, even when physically apart. The lyrics portray love as a bond that transcends space and time. In essence, the song describes a powerful bond connecting two people beyond the physical.”

  • Guitarist Reese Maslen Returns To Bilmuri Despite Controversy

    As previously reported, Bilmuri‘s touring guitarist Reese Maslen stepped away from the band late last year after being accused of racism, misogyny, etc. by his ex-partner Celina Coma. However, it appears he has since been welcomed back. Maslen commented:

    “Since stepping down from Bilmuri last December, I’ve been doing the work to be better for myself and everyone around me. I assumed I would not be asked to rejoin the band, so I acted and spoke publicly as such. On Sunday, I was Playing in bed when I got a call from Johnny; I’m coming back for the Kinda Hard tour. See you 2nite Denver”

  • The All-American Rejects Premiere New Song “King Kong”

    The All-American Rejects have premiered a new song titled “King Kong.” This track is from the band’s new album “Sandbox,” which will be released on May 15. Frontman Tyson Ritter commented:

    “‘King Kong’ is about leaving Los Angeles… I’m from a small town in Oklahoma, and I moved back home. When I got to L.A., I fell into an interesting crowd. It was the quintessential, ‘I’m in L.A. in my twenties and early thirties’, life. It’s a town where everyone is chasing the same industry. There’s no real life about it for me that I experienced until I left. Nick brought out the quality in the song. It was a very natural combination of our efforts.”

  • Metal Anarchy’s New Music Showcase: Q&A With Monkey Intrusion

    Time for the next edition of Metal Anarchy’s “new music showcase,” the feature where I introduce you to artists that readers of this site may find interesting. This time I have a Q&A with Monkey Intrusion’s Vincenzo Reina.

    METAL ANARCHY: Tell me a little about your band:

    REINA: Hi guys, we are Monkey Intrusion a rock band from Italy. Marco Plesnicar (bass) and I (Vincenzo Reina guitar and voice) started when we were teenagers and played our own music, mainly prog rock. Ten years ago, we met Enrico Goti to hire the main voice and a second guitar and then we met Marco Bertoli with his powerful metal drums. Lately this year, Sara Cova a magnificent rock and soul singer joined the band.

    METAL ANARCHY: Who are your main influences?

    REINA: Our influences are very different, reflecting how we grew up as musicians. Marco Plesnicar and I were in love with many of the great bands of the seventies and eighties like Led Zeppelin, The Who, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Police, as well as music geniuses like David Bowie and Peter Gabriel. Enrico and Marco Bertoli grew up with grunge and prog metal, Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age, Alice in Chains, Angra, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Sara brings her soul and hard rock influences.

    METAL ANARCHY: What is your latest release and why should readers of this site check it out?

    REINA: Our Album “Pussycats and Monkeymen” gathers the best songs we wrote in these years, melting all genres we love in a unique sound that represents all of us. If you like hard rock with no boundaries and want to listen to genuine heartful songs, you should check it out.

    METAL ANARCHY: What can people expect when they go to your live shows?

    REINA: Every show is different and intense, you will always find powerful metal drums, heavy guitars, pumping bass and three very different voices, singing and harmonising together.

    METAL ANARCHY: Where do you see your band heading in 5 years?

    REINA: Two other albums released, many gigs and most of all a huge audience all over the world in love with Monkey Intrusion’s songs.

  • Metal Anarchy’s New Music Showcase: Q&A With Kazaran

    Time for the next edition of Metal Anarchy’s “new music showcase,” the feature where I introduce you to artists that readers of this site may find interesting. This time I have a Q&A with Kazaran’s Caiden Crafts.

    METAL ANARCHY: Tell me a little about your band:

    CRAFTS: We’re a metalcore trio from Adelaide, South Australia made up of myself (Caiden Crafts) Travis Jones, and Rory Amoy. We’ve played live with additional members: Samuel Burns, Benjamin Batty, and Matthew Zipeto.

    METAL ANARCHY: Who are your main influences?

    CRAFTS: We have a passion for early 2000s metalcore and enjoy writing songs that influence that style. Bands such as Killswitch Engage, All That Remains, Lamb of God, Parkway Drive and Arch Enemy are among our influences.

    METAL ANARCHY: What is your latest release and why should readers of this site check it out?

    CRAFTS: Our latest record titled ‘In Possession’ came out on March 27th and is our second EP released next to our first ‘Lost Amongst The Living.’ The record features FALTER and False Dawn, both vocalists from our hometown of Adelaide, and they add so much to the tracks they are a part of. The record in full is heavier and darker than our previous releases, but also shows a new strength in power and sound that we’re excited to continue using going forward.

    METAL ANARCHY: What can people expect when they go to your live shows?

    CRAFTS: We love to get people involved in our shows and I personally enjoy inviting all our featured artists and collaborators to come down and join in on their tracks, so you never know who may show up and grace the stage with us. However, at the current time we aren’t doing live shows.

    METAL ANARCHY: Where do you see your band heading in 5 years?

    CRAFTS: Recording and enjoying metal music.

  • Ceremony Premiere New Song “Other Hells”

    Ceremony have premiered a new song titled “Other Hells.” Vocalist Ross Farrar commented:

    “‘Other Hells’ started as a meditation on the dualistic arts and the interplay of opposing forces in our lives: awake/asleep, physical/spiritual, inhale/exhale. This is a constant theme in the work of Ceremony; beauty juxtaposed with the intensity of aggressive music, seeking to create a single, cohesive work through audible, visual, and structural elements. Amid the ongoing rise in politics that lean on tribalism and polarizing rhetoric in an attempt to divide, the song responds by aiming to unify, using punk’s great liberatory force: the slam.”
