  • The Ocean Team Up With Tangerine Dream For New Song “Milk Of My Dreams”

    The Ocean have premiered a new song titled “Milk Of My Dreams.” The track, which features Tangerine Dream, is from the band’s new album, “Solaris,” which will be released on September 25.

    The group commented:

    “Working with Thorsten [Quaeschning] has been an incredibly inspiring experience and with all of us being huge Tangerine Dream fans, a great honour of course. His knowledge of electronic music, synthesizers and sound design is extraordinary, and at the same time he’s an immensely talented and curious musician. His studio feels like a synthesizer museum — everything is connected, switched on and ready to play. What’s particularly remarkable is his ability to take a sound you can only describe in words and translate it almost instantly into something you can actually hear.”

    Quaeschning added:

    “It was a real pleasure to work on the new album by The Ocean Collective. At the same time, it was an interesting challenge for me, because I had to adjust some of my usual working methods and leave the safe harbor of familiar procedures. From my own musical microcosm, The Ocean Collective’s music moves through a wide range of shifting time signatures, which meant that most hardware step sequencers no longer worked in the conventional way.

    Of course, I could have programmed and recorded individual sections of two, three or sometimes eight bars, but I decided to play many of the sequences by hand. This made it possible to react more quickly to the time signature changes, while also giving the sequences a more organic feel through dynamics, touch and subtle timing differences. I’m very happy to be part of this album and I’m looking forward to seeing where this new collaboration may lead.”

  • Knocked Loose Celebrate 10th Anniversary Of “Laugh Tracks” With Vinyl Reissue And Merch

    Knocked Loose are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their 2016 album “Laugh Tracks” with a new vinyl pressing. The reissue will be released on November 13 and can be pre-ordered HERE. It is available as a standalone release and in a bundle featuring vinyl pressings of the band’s full catalog. New merch is available as well. The group commented:

    “10 years of ‘Laugh Tracks.’ We recorded this thing in a week and a half with Will Putney 10 years ago. We were young; hungry, and blown away that we had grown enough to release a full length record. None of us knew it was the launchpad that would change our lives forever. To everyone who’s stuck around since then, we salute you. To everyone who’s joined us on this incredible journey, thank you so much. We hope to see you soon.”

  • Anthrax Premiere “Cursum Perficio” Music Video

    Anthrax have shared an official video for the title track of their new album “Cursum Perficio.” That effort will be released tomorrow (September 18).

    Guitarist Scott Ian told Rolling Stone the following:

    “The video for ‘Cursum Perficio’ captures all of the themes I’m exploring in the lyrics … they’re epic in scope … how do you quantify your life? How do you measure oceans of time, and what did you do with it? And were all the struggles worth it in the end?”

    Drummer Charlie Benante continued:

    “What I love about this video is that it matches the tone of the song so well. This song has always been the dark horse of the record. This video may be as well.”

    Video star London May (ex-Samhain) added:

    “‘Cursum Perficio’ brought out the beast in me. I broke my finger the very first day and had to beg them to keep shooting. That was real chain and real pain. I went through hell and back for Anthrax and Don Argott — and I’d happily do it all again!”

  • Dragged Under Announce New Album “Social Battery: Low”

    Dragged Under will be releasing a new album, titled “Social Battery: Low,” on March 12, 2027. The record comes after the band reunited with guitarist Ryan “Fluff” Bruce and bassist Hans Hessburg.

    “Social Battery: Low” Track Listing:

    01. “Never Gonna Change”
    02. “Razor’s Edge Collapse”
    03. “Rebel Son Rise!”
    04. “THAT’S L.O.V.E” (feat. Marrow)
    05. “Addicted To The Noise”
    06. “Beautiful World (feat. PINKNOISE)
    07. “Older”
    08. “Luv Me Back”
    09. “Trix On Me”
    10. “Brainrot”
    11. “AlgoRHYTHM”
    12. “Bleed American”
    13. “A Million Reasons”

    Frontman Anthony Cappocchi commented:

    “I was so mad when [Bruce and Hessburg] left like that. It took all the fun out of it for me, and all that was left was anger. But with time, the fire turns to embers, the embers turn to ashes, and the ashes turn to dust. Then I was like, ‘What was I mad about in the first place?’ But we couldn’t have done this new album if that hadn’t happened.

    The time off gave everyone perspective. We realized that we were lucky to have been able to play shows and put out records in the first place. And we’re lucky to be in a position now to continue to do it. That got us pumped to make the best album we could make.

    Our band was never better than it was with our core members — me, Sean, Hans, and Fluff. In a way, it’s like mom and dad got back together. And since they’ve been back, those dudes have been as committed to Dragged Under and as stoked about it as they were when they first joined. Knowing that only made us want to be bigger than ever.”

    A music video for the effort’s first single, “Razor’s Edge Collapse,” can be found below. Cappocchi added the following about that track:

    “It’s about feeling like your city is always on that razor’s edge, and any day it could all go upside-down. We lived on a busy street right near a mall. We’d hear cops flying down our street all the time. We loved living in Seattle when we were younger, but we had to move because it got dangerous in a lot of ways and I’m not going to do anything that would put me or my kids in danger. If something happened to me, they wouldn’t have a father.”

But if you’re reading this, you are probably holding a copy in your bloody semen/leukorrhea-dripping paws. With the help of D.K. Vagslay, Iron Possessor, and about 300 dirt merchants and headbanging Hollywood sleazeballs, it was possible to concoct such a document of disgust.”
