  • Black Cross Hotel (The Atlas Moth, Etc.) To Release New Album “Songs For Switches” In October

    Black Cross Hotel (The Atlas Moth, Stabbing Westward, Minsk, etc.) will be releasing a new album, titled “Songs For Switches,” on October 31. A video for the first single, “The House God Doesn’t Visit,” can be found below:

    “Songs For Switches” Track Listing:

    01. “Eyes From Nowhere”
    02. “Rot Together”
    03. “The House God Doesn’t Visit”
    04. “Song For Switches”
    05. “Typo”
    06. “Blood Dance”
    07. “Church Basement”
    08. “Teeth”
    09. “How To Be Unburdened”

    Dee DeEmme commented:

    “This record is not all salacious fantasy; there’s a practical side to maintaining any well-run subculture. The album is a collection of lessons learned, from the joy of finding someone who truly gets you to the importance of asking for what you want and preserving a part of yourself in the process.”

    Andrew Ragin added:

    “Some of us are horror junkies and our favorite movies often serve as the backdrop and inspiration for our songs. Most songs start as a sort of alternate movie score and then we let all of our various influences and interests take hold without gearing towards any specific genre. With a foot planted firmly in the dark and spooky, everyone gets to play with these themes and styles, which makes for an eclectic blend of metal, dark wave, punk, ’90s alternative and even hair metal.”

    In other news, the band have also announced a fall tour. Here’s the dates:

    10/29 Chicago, IL – Empty Bottle
    10/30 Indianapolis, IN – Healer
    10/31 Tolono, IL – Loose Cobra
    11/01 Athens, OH – The Union

    11/03 Baltimore, MD – Ottobar

  • SPEED Share Official Movie For New Song “PEACE”

    SPEED have shared an official movie for their new song “PEACE.” That track is from the band’s new EP, “ALL MY ANGELS,” which will be released on October 23.

    Vocalist Jem Siow commented:

    “Three of our close friends passed away in 18 months — but, amidst this devastation I was overcome with a deep sense of clarity and peace. Because, despite the abyss of questions of why and how, my clearest sense of calm lay in the certainty that the time we shared and invested in one another was underpinned by unfiltered honesty and unconditional love.

    Their lives were short, but I know our experiences together were lived with deep, meaningful intention, which has in turn empowered us with more meaning and purpose while we are still here. This sense of calm and focus exists like a sharpened, refined weapon at my disposal – poised to attack life and its many hurdles with precision and intention. And it has only been refined through the process of loss.”

  • Fit For An Autopsy Premiere “It Comes For You” Video

    Fit For An Autopsy have premiered a new video for their new song “It Comes For You.” You can check that out below. Guitarist Will Putney commented:

    “An aggressive offering from our camp felt like an appropriate response to the current climate of class disparity and political overreach. Sometimes I feel like we’re beating a dead horse over here but it’s important to consistently remind the listener to remain intolerant of such authoritarian rule. Believe it or not, but one day, it comes for you.”
