King 810 have premiered a new video for their new song “I Hurt Someone’s Little Girl.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Rustbelt Numetal 3,“ which will be released on March 20. Frontman David Gunn said the following about the single:
“Something new even for those of you at the K8 recording session. Single vocal & guitar. As stripped down as it gets.”
UADA have shared a new cover of Rome’s “Der Brandtaucher.” This track is from the band’s new acoustic album, “Interwoven,” which will be released on April 10. The group commented:
“Originally composed by Jerome Reuter and Patrick Damiani, this rendition was the final track chosen for ‘Interwoven‘. Having followed Rome since 2008’s ‘Masse Mensch Material‘, ‘Der Brandtaucher‘ held deep personal resonance, especially during the most difficult chapter of my life. Its inclusion was not simply artistic – it was necessary.”
Sabaton have partnered with the video game “World Of Warships” for a new song titled “Yamato.” You can find a video for that track below:
The follwing was said in a press release:
“This song notably marks the second ‘World of Warships’ collaboration between the band and developer Wargaming following the mega-popular ‘Bismarck.’ For the first time, a Sabaton-branded Yamato is also available in World of Warships in addition to dialogue by vocalist Joakim Brodén and bassist Pär Sundström. Along with different bespoke items in game, Joakim Brodén can take the helm of the ship while the standard battle soundtrack replaced by ‘Yamato’ or ‘Bismarck,’ transforming every engagement into an epic metal experience.
As history will tell you, ‘Yamato’ was the name of a massive Japanese battleship constructed in-secret and unveiled during 1941 as the most dominant vessel of its kind. Designed to win at naval warfare, it represented the ultimate floating symbol of strength. In 1945, it famously hit the high seas on a suicide mission to defend Okinawa. Despite ceaseless fire from aircraft above and an opposing fleet of a far greater number on the water, the ‘Yamato’ and its crew never gave up. Instead, they literally battled until the bitter end when a huge explosion rendered a deathblow to the ship. It sank in a blaze of glory…
As part of the alliance with ‘World of Warships’ and Wargaming, the band filmed the accompanying music video in Belgrade, Serbia last October. Quite fittingly, it depicts Sabaton aboard the titular ship during its last stand, descending into the unforgiving ocean as the band hangs on for dear life. Waves consume the deck, but each member keeps playing his instrument even as the chaos swallows the guys up one-by-one.
Testing their mettle in real-life, the musicians faced brutally frigid temperatures, weathering a continuous blast of ice-cold water for the duration of the shoot. The band remained submerged in freezing waters with the help of ventilators. Pushing it to the max, the guys even wore weights beneath their stage clothes to truly evoke the sensation of sinking. Maintaining the highest level of safety protocol, professional divers assisted Sabaton throughout.”
Vocalist Joakim Brodén commented:
“Battleships are interesting and naval stories have, from time to time, been part of the Sabaton lore. ‘Bismarck’ was an exciting story for us to share and a fan favourite, and ‘Yamato’ is sort of a follow-up to that song. Our former guitarist, Tommy, wrote this song while he was still in the band. We only ‘Thobbefied’ it after guitar duties were returned to Thobbe!”
Bassist Pär Sundström added:
“‘Bismarck’ was such an exciting song but it was never part of an album, and it felt that it was missing something. We always wanted to follow up on that story. Over the years, countless fans have asked us to write a song about ‘Yamato,’ and we knew that that would be a natural continuation of what we started with ‘Bismarck.’ We knew we wanted this song to have a totally different sound, and when Tommy was writing the music for this, we felt we had the appropriate, powerful song for this story. Once again, we are collaborating with ‘World of Warships,’ and since our worlds are so close, it just feels so natural to continue this great partnership. Together, we once again created a legendary music video!”
Moodring have premiered a new video for their new song “Gunplay (Suicidal 3way).” This track is from the band’s new album, “Death Fetish,” which will be released on March 27. Hunter Young commented:
“This one means a lot to me and is one of my favorites on the record, but I’m ever aware that what I enjoy and what others do are very different things. With the album being all but banned everywhere because of two simple words, it feels like vindication.”
Ghost have released chapter 25 of their ongoing web series. The latest clip is titled “The Portrait” and it finds Frater Imperator (formerly Papa Emeritus IV) receiving a new painting and office before heading out for a vacation. However, it seemingly ends with him getting hit by a truck. You can check that out below. This news comes as frontman Tobias Forge is preparing to put the band on break.
