Watch Clutch, The Sword, Royal Thunder, Etc. Members Cover Styx’s “Renegade”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Mlny Parsonz (Royal Thunder), Kyle Shutt (The Sword), Jean-Paul Gaster (Clutch), Per Wiberg (Opeth, Candlemass), and Mike Squires (Duff McKagan’s Loaded) recently teamed up for a cover of Styx’s “Renegade” as part of Couch Riffs. Squires commented:

“This song, you guys, is an absolute classic and one of the biggest songs from my childhood. To this day when I hear it I get excited and electrified. So, when JP and Kyle decided to reprise their spots with Couch Riffs and suggested this song I was ALL OVER IT. Also, I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to swap solos with Mr Shutt. We were lucky enough to further elevate this line-up with two more absolute crushers in Mlny Parsonz and Per Wiberg on vocals and keys, respectively. This cover is certainly more raw than the original version (like most all of our covers) and I’m proud of what happened here. I hope you guys enjoy this as much as we did! This was a blast!”

Abysmal Dawn Share Cover Of Candlemass’ “Bewitched”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Abysmal Dawn have released a cover of Candlemass‘ “Bewitched.” The track is available as a flexi-disc in the new issue of New Noise Magazine and it can be streamed below. Charlies Elliot commented:

“We had some extra time in the studio, and we wanted to do something people weren’t expecting at all. No one expects me to do a lot of clean vocals or expects us to be influenced by a doom metal band with operatic vocals, but we definitely are. I think people were surprised, but we played it for a couple of people and they liked it, so we decided to go for it.”

Candlemass Premiere “Porcelain Skull” Lyric Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Candlemass have premiered a lyric video for “Porcelain Skull.” This track will appear on the band’s new EP, “The Pendulum,” which is set to be released on March 27. Leif Edling commented:

“I think the video really captures the schizophrenic lyrics to the ‘Porcelain Skull’ song. It is about the eternal battle with our dark selves. Avatarium did a fine version of it on their latest album but this one is rawer and harder, hits you right in the face!”

Candlemass To Release New EP “The Pendulum” In March

Posted by caemanamelio on

Candlemass will be releasing a new EP titled “The Pendulum” on March 27. You can check out the title track of that effort below:

Leif Edling commented:

“‘The Pendulum‘ is about hard riffing, epic choruses and total delusion the fanatical way. It is in fact the last thing I wrote for ‘The Door To Doom‘ album but didn’t have the time to finish it. Here it is in its grand/mad luster with a great mix by Niklas Flyckt, and produced by Marcus Jidell. It is followed by 5 unreleased demos from the DTD sessions because the whole sha-bang was at first supposed to be a double effort but got trimmed down to a single album eventually.

I love the Pendulum track, album quality if you ask me, and songs like “Porcelain Skull” and “Snakes Of Goliath” are not bad either.

They just didn’t make it to the final thing. So I hope you like this EP that features the “missing” songs. The last pieces of the puzzle of the 1 year recording that became the album “The Door To Doom“. Enjoy”

“The Pendulum” Track Listing:

01. “The Pendulum”
02. “Snakes Of Goliath”
03. “Sub Zero”
04. “Aftershock”
05. “Porcelain Skull”
06. “The Cold Room”
