  • Evergreen Terrace Part Ways With Drummer Longineu Parsons III

    Evergreen Terrace have parted ways with Longineu Parsons III. The drummer recently confirmed the news, while also revealing that he was replaced by his predecessor Brad Moxey.

    Parsons commented:

    “Hello Friends LP here

    This is an unfortunate announcement I didn’t see myself making. Due to circumstances that I myself are very unclear about I will no longer be performing with my brothers in EVERGREEN TERRACE.

    Early in March I reached out to my bandmates about when we were getting together again for rehearsals and I was surprised with a return message stating that the former drummer Brad had asked if he could join back up and they were replacing me. This is a very bizarre and saddening situation for me since ET has become a very important part of my story in my musical career.

    As you all know I started my path in music with my former band Yellowcard which opened the doors to opportunity, travel and fame. I’ve been fortunate enough in my career to travel the world, play the baggiest arenas and even winning a Moon Man award. But none of that has been more fulfilling than the camaraderie and long van rides with my brothers Craig, Andrew, Jason and Alex of ET.

    Whatever the reasons are for this abrupt decision I hope they can be fixed in the future and I will always leave the window open to ET. Brad is an amazing drummer and stellar dude and I wish him the best of luck.

    Thank You All – LP”

  • Kulk Premiere New Song “Ache”

    Kulk have premiered a new song titled “Ache.” The track is the band’s first release through their new label home Church Road Records. Kulk commented:

    “‘Ache‘, is not only for our friend Meg who we lost in 2023, it’s for all of us left behind. This track was the first we had written after she died and has opened our shows for a while now. ‘Ache‘ describes living with grief after years. It’s not the immense pain of the first few days, but it’s ever present and consistent. Like a broken bone that hasn’t healed right, it has changed the way we move, act and think; always there never letting up. It was also an honour to have Hannah Asprey, of the band IAN, perform a devastatingly beautiful cello feature.”

  • Melechesh Premiere New Song “In Shadows, In Light”

    Melechesh have premiered a new song titled “In Shadows, In Light.” This track is from the band’s new EP, “Sentinels Of Shamash,” which will be released on April 10. The group commented:

    “‘In Shadows, In Light’ explores cosmic knowledge hidden in plain sight — parallel dimensions, sacred geometry, and veiled currents of existence revealed only through perception. Drawing on esoteric and Kabalistic thought, the song moves between concealment and revelation. Structured as a journey with shifting acts and moods, it unfolds through tension, release, and transformation. Each passage reveals another layer of vision, where shadow and illumination coexist, and the unseen becomes ‘felt’ rather than explained.”

  • Roman Candle Premiere “Blasphemous Act” Video

    Roman Candle have premiered a new video for their new song “Blasphemous Act.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Unadulterated,” which will be released on April 24.

    Vocalist Piper Ferrari commented:

    “‘Blasphemous Act‘ was the last song we wrote for the record, and it hit with such ferocity that it forced its way onto the album in the eleventh hour. The name came from a Magic: The Gathering card, but the song took on a life of its own — this unhinged, teeth-bared spiral of obsession and retribution.

    Lines like ‘your neck in my teeth is all that I need’ and ‘karma is owed, paid in full’ captured a darker, more primal side of the band that we didn’t even know we were still capable of tapping into. By the time it explodes into that repeated ‘run for your life’ refrain, it felt clear: the record wouldn’t be complete without this song.”

    “Unadulterated” Track Listing:

    01. “Blasphemous Act“
    02. “This Band Has Lead Me To Places I Wouldn’t Go With A Gun“
    03. “Can We Watch Something Happy?“
    04. “Lady Lazarus“
    05. “Bite Harder Than You Bleed“
    06. “I Can’t Stop Winning“
    07. “Fire In The Night Sky Forever“
    08. “My Silence Costs More Than You Can Afford“
    09. “Nothing Is Original“
    10. “On Second Thought Maybe Gaslighting Is Real“
    11. “For Once My Hands Are Still“
    12. “How To Be Considered When You’re Not In The Room“
