    Archspire commented:

    “EU, what stinks??!!

    That’s the smell of Archspire rolling down a cobblestone street near you!

    Boy, have we had quite the year! From losing all of our hair, to bailing our singer out of jail after a lewd altercation at an old folks home, to, OH YEAH, releasing our new album TOO FAST TO DIE. This has been an epic and challenging time for us all, so what better way to unwind then with a well-deserved European vacation?

    That’s right! We’re grabbing our Lederhosen, kissing our donkeys goodbye and heading out to the majestic European landscape for what nobody is calling “The greatest f*cking tour of all time!”

    Join us along with our friends Crown Magnetar, The Zenith Passage, and Analepsy as we hit that old cheese highway straight to castle valley (or whatever your whacky little towns are called)

    Get your tickets & VIP now, because this tour is straight up basically already totally f*cking sold out!”

  • Genghis Tron Announce New Album “Signal Fire”

    Genghis Tron, whose current lineup consists of keyboardist/programmer Hamilton Jordan, guitarist Michael Sochynsky, vocalist Tony Wolski (The Armed), drummer Nick Yacyshyn (SUMAC, The Armed), and bassist Kenny Szymanski (The Armed), have announced a new album titled “Signal Fire.” The effort will be released on June 12 and a video for its first single, “I Am All,” can be found below:

    “Signal Fire” Track Listing:

    01. “I Am All“
    02. “Signal Fire“
    03. “Future Worship“
    04. “Like Fotocrom“
    05. “Tomorrow Mirage“
    06. “Nothing Blooms In The Hollow“
    07. “Without Form“
    08. “Born Prey“
    09. “A Love So Pure“
    10. “New Gods“

    Wolski said the following about the album:

    “‘Signal Fire‘ envisions a Kojima-esque dystopia of endless proxy warfare where the deluge of available information has outmoded the human ability to parse it. A world where those amoral, shameless and cunning enough can literally reshape the reality at their whim through sheer insistence. Honestly, this is probably about, like, late 2027…”

    Jordan also commented on the new lineup:

    “This transformation would not have been possible without Tony, Nick, and Kenny.”

    Sochynsky added:

    “They’re amazing musicians and they all have killer songwriting instincts, which helps push everything to the next level. And now that Kenny has joined, there’s an entirely new dimension. We originally asked him to help with a few songs, but it turned out so well that he just kept going. Kenny’s playing is one of my favorite aspects of the whole record.”

  • P.O.D. Recording New Album

  • Saosin Premiere “Starting Over Again” Music Video

    Saosin have premiered a new video for their new song “Starting Over Again.” The band commented:

    “‘Starting Over Again‘ is our first new music in over a decade, and it came from the fans calling for it and us realizing the timing finally felt right. The chemistry in this lineup is undeniable, and everything just clicked. This song is exactly what the title says. A reset, but with more clarity, more urgency, and way more fire behind it. It feels like the start of something big for us, not a throwback, but a step forward.”
