Frontman Bobby Blitz commented:

“Man, it seems like for F-in ever since we chatted!!!! Ha! I tell you what, this is the longest ever between Overkill releases, Feb ’19 to April ’23.

For me, it became my ‘peterpandemic’ go-to. I wrote my part, tore it down, then again and again. I found myself still changing parts while Colin was mixing! It became the normal in a very abnormal time, sanity amongst the insanity.

Somewhere in ‘Scorched‘ that is all reflected, a common thread, it is the place I went to get what I needed, maybe what “we” needed. It’s different, that’s for sure an old-school approach/mix in a modern world….was it worth the wait? You tell me…….see ya on the road! Horns up!”

Avatar Premiere New Song “Violence No Matter What” Featuring Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale

Posted by caemanamelio on

Avatar have premiered a new song titled “Violence No Matter What.” This track features Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale and it will appear on the band’s new album “Dance Devil Dance,” which is set to be released on February 17.

Avatar’s Johannes Eckerström commented:

“‘Violence No Matter What‘ is about one thing and one thing only. It’s ok to debate and fight and to think differently. But there is a limit, and the line must be drawn at authority held with violence, a world view that cannot survive without enemies, a promised return to a fabricated former glory.”

Hale added:

“‘Violence No Matter What‘ was such an inspiring piece to be a part of! Thank you so much to the boys for giving me the opportunity to express my angst against the horrors of this world through such a brilliant song!”

Atreyu Premiere “Drowning” Music Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Atreyu have premiered a new video for their new song “Drowning.” The band commented:

“To the five of us, this song is audio anti-depressants. Much like everyone does, the five of us have experienced waves of depression, anxiety, and fear in vastly different ways. This song is about feeling buried. We have found comfort in simply communicating those feelings with each other, and hope you will arrive in a similar place when listening. This song is for all of us.”

Veiled Sign With Seek And Strike, Premiere “Relinquished” Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Veiled have signed a new deal with Seek And Strike. With this news, the band have also released a new song titled “Relinquished.“ That track features Kyle Lamb (She Must Burn) and an official video for it can be found below:

The group said the following about signing a new deal with Seek And Strike:

“Signing to Seek and Strike is an amazing opportunity and we can’t wait to see what this brings us. Seek and Strike allows us the freedom to create what we want and they have only pushed us to be better. ‘Relinquished‘ is only a taste of what’s to come – our new EP delivers some huge riffs, lots of symphonies, as well as some heavier breakdowns, compared to what you’ve heard from us so far.

This EP is definitely for fans of Chelsea Grin, Thy Art Is Murder and Lorna Shore. If you like our friends in She Must Burn, chances are you’ll enjoy it too. Overall though, we’d say that there’s something here for most fans of heavy music and thanks for your support.”

They also added the following about the new song:

“Our new track, ‘Relinquished‘. is a story of a man’s descent into madness, being possessed by a renegade demon that he is trying to commune with. We always write visually with our music, so the video follows along with this concept to help build on the atmosphere we create. We feel it’s a great song to introduce us with as it’s just a taste of things to come. It sets the scene of what Veiled is all about, while not giving too much away, as this is just the beginning.”

Ghost’s Tobias Forge: “I Would Love To Play In The Red Hot Chili Peppers”

Posted by caemanamelio on

During a recent interview with Classic Rock, Ghost’s Tobias Forge was asked who he would like to play guitar for if given the chance to join another band for a day. The frontman responded with the following:

“Good question. There’s several bands. I would have loved to be what Mick Taylor was in 1969, coming into the Rolling Stones at their best era – but I would have stayed around! That would have been a great experience. Very fun music to play. Definitely within the limits of what I can play really well. I spent a lot of time as a kid learning how to play guitar. Otherwise I would love to play in the Red Hot Chili Peppers; I love what John Frusciante does.”
