• Turnover Announce New Album “Down On Earth”

    Turnover have announced a new album titled “Down On Earth.” The effort will be released on May 29 and its first two singles, “Nightjar” and “I See You And Realize,” can be found below:

    “Down On Earth” Track Listing:

    01. “Wheelie For No One”
    02. “Nightjar”
    03. “I See You And Realize”
    04. “My Hand Is A Curtain”
    05. “I’m Up, I’m Up”
    06. “Pieces”
    07. “Little Bees Don’t Bite”
    08. “Ultrasensitive”
    09. “Off Into The Lonesome Sky”
    10. “Spade Head”

    The group commented:

    “This record is surrounded by a theme of bringing things closer to where we come from while still continuing to push forward the way you’ve known us to. It was tough for us to sit on these songs for so long while we toured PV. We really wanted you all to have the moments and experiences with each record the way you deserve. Some of you might remember ‘Nightjar’ from that set or the demos we passed out – we can’t wait to hear y’all sing with us this next time around.
    ​​
    ​​Like most people, our perspective on home, music, and life has constantly shifted. When it came time to make the first music video, it was obvious we needed to do it in Virginia Beach; where we started this whole journey that has taken us further than we ever dreamed. We hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed making it.
    ​​
    ​​Thanks for being ‘Down On Earth’ with Turnover after all these years. We love you all and can’t wait to share the rest of the record with you soon.”

    Bassist Danny Dempsey also commented on the cover, which features a photo from Nick Waplington:

    “I wanted to use a photo because photos stay with me in a more familiar way. I also buy a lot of photo books and love to see a well known photographer working with musicians. I’ve been a big fan of Nick’s stuff and something that felt out of reach turned out to be easy and fun. The photo feels like it could be any time in history to me. Today. Tomorrow. 50 years ago. 50 years into the future. And I’m not sure if I want to be there or not. It just pulls me in. It’s a weird one.”

  • Venom Inc. Finish Mixing New Mini-Album

    During an appearance on Laughing Monkey With Shawn Ratches, Venom Inc.’s Tony “Demolition Man” Dolan and Curran Murphy offered an update on their new mini-album. According to them, the effort has already been mixed.

    Curran said the following:

    “We finished mixes on the new VENOM INC., the new mini-LP, a couple of weeks ago. We finally got all that locked in. It’s getting mastered right now.”

    Dolan also explained why the band recorded a mini-album instead of a full-length:

    “I think we’ve still got a way to go by the time we do the full album. This is kind of an introduction, if you like. There’s a bunch of tracks on there, so it’s kind of a mini-album — six or seven tracks.

    We’ve got BLACK LABEL SOCIETY tour and a European tour around that coming up, and I wanted to have some new stuff out, new stuff ready anyway. And I think we kind of lost our window because we didn’t wanna rush it, so it took a little bit longer than I’d hoped for. But we wanted to continue, so we could put some fresh stuff in the set. A couple of the songs are older classic songs that fans wanted to hear that we haven’t played live, in one case. And another one, which was a song from ‘The Waste Lands’ that we put into the set which people loved. And so it’s been re-edited, if you like, and redone our way. And so I wanted to include that. We’ve got a tribute song on there, and we’ve got some new stuff on there. So it seemed to bridge the gap of our identity. I wanted to [release] something to [establish] our identity. We’ve also got a finished product, which is the Kiss FM studio sessions we did in Brazil, in São Paulo, which is now ready to go as well. And then there’ll be the full live album and then the new album. So we just wanted to get material out and just go, ‘This is who the band is. This is our identity.’ It’s VENOM INC., not VENOM, and we wanted to make that distinction. [The Conrad ‘Cronos’ Lant-fronted-fronted] VENOM’s just released their next record, ‘Into Oblivion’ I think it’s called, and that sounds great, so that’s them…. It’s them. It’s Conrad and the boys, and it sounds like them. And they’ve been together 17 years doing their albums, and they’re happy doing that. But I thought it’s time to make the distinction between who we are and who they are, ’cause people go, ‘Oh, that’s not VENOM.’ It’s, like, nobody said it was VENOM.”

    Donita Sparks commented:

    “When L7 decided to release a documentary in 2015, we thought maybe we would take one last victory lap around the sun by playing some shows. Instead, that lap turned into eleven more years of touring, sweat, new music, and reconnecting with the fans who made this all possible in the first place.

    Looking out into the crowd seeing longtime supporters rocking out next to a new generation of L7 fans has been the most powerful and humbling part of this chapter.

    We are deeply grateful and ready to give our audiences one last, loud, fun, and hopefully unforgettable night of rock and roll.”

  • Khemmis Premiere “Beneath The Scythe” Music Video

    Khemmis have premiered a new video for their new song “Beneath The Scythe.” This track is from the band’s new self-titled album, which will be released on June 12. Guitarist/vocalist Ben Hutcherson said the following about the single:

    “‘Beneath The Scythe‘ is a track wherein all four of us just it rip. Dueling guitar solos? Check. Ripping drum fills? Check. A beautiful bass solo over a haunting, atmospheric interlude? Check! In some ways, ‘Scythe‘ feels like ‘classic Khemmis,’ but we made sure that the song took the listener on a journey unlike anything we’ve done before. As always, this tune is best enjoyed at high volume while holding an ice-cold beverage in a room adorned with posters of Mercyful Fate, Iron Maiden, and At the Gates (RIP Tompa!).”

  • Slaughter To Prevail’s Alex Terrible On “Blood4BLood” Loss: “My Ass Got Whooped”

    Yesterday (May 6), Slaughter To Prevail frontman Alex Terrible hosted the new “Blood4Blood” bare-knuckle fighting and metal festival in Daytona Beach, FL. The event featured four fights, including a main card featuring Terrible and Cameron Delano, and sets from Slaughter To Prevail, Black Label Society, Crowbar, and Malevolence. However, Terrible ended up losing his fight, saying his “ass got whooped.”

    Terrible told the crowd the following:

    “Listen guys, a lot of people says I’m tough — I’m not tough. I’m scared literally of everything, but I try to fight my fears. This is why I do this sh*t, you know what I mean?”

    He later commented in a new video:

    “Yes I lost. It’s sad. I’m f*cking sad, but at the same time I don’t feel shame, because I believe I did everything I could do. And Camreon, respect. You hit like a f*cking bull, look at my face [laughs] you motherf*cker [laughs.] And my plan was to perform before the fight and after the fight, but venue said no.

    I could do that easily, even with this f*cking face. So ‘Rockville‘ and ‘Sonic Temple‘, ‘Sonic Temple‘ don’t stress. I will be there. I will give you my energy 100% and I will see you there. Respect for all the fighters who fought yesterday. Respect for all the bands [that] played yesterday. I believe we made history guys. Thank you for your support. Haters: this is your best day in your f*cking life [laughs.] My ass got whooped, again. 2-2 bare knuckles, f*ck yeah.”

  • Dead Poet Society Premiere “Sinner Systems” Music Video

    Dead Poet Society have premiered a new video for their new song “Sinner Systems.” You can check that out below. The group commented:

    “‘Sinner Systems’ is a dark, brooding song that blends heavy, detuned fretless grooves with addictive, hedonistic lyrics that hold a mirror up to modern excess and emotional numbness. We explored the duality of the detuned and the melodic and came up with a song that is a cinematic journey for the listener.”
