    Guitarist Brian Baker commented:

    “We recorded twelve songs in five days, and all of them are on the album. One of the advantages of us all working at home is there’s plenty of time to figure out what you’re going to do. I know what the guitar solo is going to be because I’ve already done it at home and sent it to Michael [Hampton] to tweak it. It’s not as hard as you think. This album is a collective expression and a lot of the fun is seeing how the hell it is going to turn out.”

    02/18 Brooklyn, NY – Zone One at Elsewhere
    02/19 Washington, D.C. – Black Cat

  • Darkest Hour Premiere “Suffer Divine” Video

    Darkest Hour have shared an official video for the title track of their new album “Suffer Divine.” That effort will be released on October 30.

    Vocalist John Henry commented:

    “Our first single and title track of the new album ‘Suffer Divine’ is about justice and accountability. This one goes out to anyone who chooses to push and peddle hatred and division, to anyone who would break down others to feed their sadistic, insatiable ego.”

    Guitarist Mike Schleibaum added:

    “This album is so special to us. We’ve had the support of an amazing team at the label, the incredibly talented Mark Lewis, and each other as we have navigated the process that gave birth to ‘Suffer Divine.’ The result is one blistering album. It’s full of rage, thrash, and aggression but also feels musically dense. Sonically, this is an album born out of love for things like melodic death metal.

    Conceptually, the album touches on the idea that you can derive self-worth (and some value) from your own suffering. In fact, the creation of this album was the personification of that actual act. There is so much rage, anger, and pain put into this record, yet at the same time it holds in itself so much hope. It’s equal parts hope, rage, and empathy.”

    “Suffer Divine” Track Listing:

    01. “All Cruelty Springs From Weakness”
    02. “Gods Of Decay”
    03. “No Conquered Hearts”
    04. “Salvation”
    05. “Suffer Divine”
    06. “Warrior”
    07. “Vile Angel”
    08. “The Unforgiving Hand”
    09. “Tribalist”
    10. “Everyday Horrors”
    11. “A Story Of Redemption”

Playing the halftime show during an international Sunday night game is an incredible privilege, and we cannot wait to show fans what Mexico and its people have to offer. It will be a night to remember — we’ll do what we do best and amp up the excitement of the game. You have been warned!”

    Tim Tubito, the NFL’s senior director of global game presentation, music & entertainment, added:

    “Mexico City has a deep passion for both football and music, and The Warning brings the energy, authenticity and local connection we look for when creating these performances. As one of Mexico’s most exciting rock acts, they are the perfect choice to take the stage at Estadio Banorte and deliver a halftime show that feels made for this city and gives fans an unforgettable moment on game day.”

  • North Sea Echoes (Fates Warning) Premiere “Good Enough” Music Video

    North Sea Echoes, the project featuring Fates Warning members Ray Alder and Jim Matheos, have premiered a new video for their song “Good Enough.” This track is from the band’s latest album “How To Cast A Shadow.” Alder commented:

    “‘Good Enough’ was one of the first songs written for ‘How To Cast A Shadow.’ It’s a simple yet beautiful song, and it quickly became one of my favorite songs that Jim and I had written together. While we never intended for it to be released as a single or video we decided that while we were together for a photo shoot we would also shoot a video for this. I think that we both agreed that this song was just too nice not to be shared with others.”
