• Former Turnstile Guitarist Brady Ebert: “No One In Turnstile Cares At All About Ethics Or Social Issues”

    Turnstile recently received some praise after sharing a photo of an “Abolish ICE” sign on their Instagram story. However, former guitarist Brady Ebert has since blasted the band, saying they don’t actually care about ethics or social issues.

    Ebert shared the following comment on Jesea Lee’s post about the aforementioned sign:

    “Lmao, no one in turnstile cares at all about ethics or social issues in general, they’re just pandering to their audience. At turnstiles first free show they did they. Claimed all proceeds go to healthcare for the homeless, we raised 10000 dollars but i watched Brendan steal 4000 dollars from that and claim he needed to “pay the merch bill” which was false”

    He also added:

    “Also my friends filed a restraining order and guess what, they had two laywers with them abd I showed up to court bt myself and the judge DENIED the restraining order because there was no statute in the laws about what qualifies for a restraining order that they were able to meet the requirements of. In other words they had no reason to file it and it was all over text messages which they showed the judge and the judge agreed with me without me even having to testify so next time before u spread bullshit misinformation say that shit to my face.”

  • UADA Announce New Acoustic Album “Interwoven”

    UADA have announced a new acoustic album titled “Interwoven.” The effort will be released on April 10.

    “Interwoven” Track Listing:

    01. “Djinn“
    02. “Devoid Of Light“
    03. “The Dark (Winter)“
    04. “The Purging Fire“
    05. “Der Brandtaucher” (Rome cover)
    06. “Something In The Way” (Nirvana cover)

    Frontman Jake Superchi commented:

    “The idea of ‘Interwoven’ – an acoustic journey tracing one song from each chapter of our discography – was first envisioned on the very day UADA was conceived: October 1st, 2014. In those early conversations, when laying out the future I sought to create, I recall sharing the concept of a stripped, atmospheric interpretation, supported by the haunting resonance of strings – cello or violin. At the time, the notion was met with skepticism, perhaps even dismissal. Yet it was an idea I knew would one day take form. It had to.

    UADA has always drawn from a wide spectrum of influences – many of which extend far beyond the traditional boundaries of black metal. With ‘Interwoven,’ we sought to peel back the layers and reveal the vastness of these realms; to immerse the listener in both the foreign and the familiar, in textures that challenge and comfort in equal measure.

    More than a sonic experiment, this album was a deliberate act of vulnerability. It was a personal and collective trial – a chance to step outside the acquainted shadows and embrace the uncertain light. The earliest intent was to craft something primitive and ritualistic, echoing the ancestral tones of ancient Pagan folk. Vocally, we anticipated a palette of whispers, chants, and throat singing. There was never a plan to explore clean, melodic singing – until an improvised vocal passage in ‘Djinn’ revealed something unexpected. That unscripted moment sparked the foundation of what would become this album. With the band’s enthusiastic support, the recording process began – without a script, without rehearsal, and with full commitment to spontaneity and truth.”
