Svalbard are currently seeking fan footage that they can use in their upcoming video for “Silent Restraint.” The band said the following about that:
“Want to be in the new video for ‘Silent Restraint’? Please send footage of dancing, miming, pets and pals to svalbardvid@gmail.com. Please film in landscape if using phone camera. Deadline: Sunday Feb 7th.”
Moon Shot, the band featuring Henri âHenkka T. Blacksmithâ SeppĂ€lĂ€ (ex-Children Of Bodom), Ville Malja (Lapko), Jussi Ylikoski (Disco Ensemble), and Mikko Hakila (Disco Ensemble), have premiered a new video for their new song “Blood Looks Cool.” Malja commented:
“‘Blood Looks Cool’ is a song for outsiders. For those who feel they don’t belong. It’s a positive fight song about social otherness.”
Wilson have premiered a new live video for their song âDumptruck.â You can check that out below. As previously reported, the band’s December 28, 2019 farewell show at The Crofoot Ballroom in Pontiac, MI will be released as a live album, titled âThank You, Goodnight. Live!,â on January 29. Chad Nicefield commented:
âThis video bumps. This video fucks. This video is a montage paying homage to the moments when shit dumped like a dumptruck. FUCKERY FOREVER!â
Pissing Razors have teamed up with Skinlab’s Steev Esquivel for a cover of Nailbombâs âWasting Away.â You can find an official video for that below. The track was released ahead of Pissing Razors’ upcoming album “Eulogy Death March” and guitarist Mat Lynch had the following to say about it:
âShortly after Nailbombâs 1994 âPoint Blankâ release, we added âWasting Awayâ to our live set simply for its sheer intensity, brutally honest approach, and blatant raw attack. Thereâs no smoke and mirrors, no fancy production tricks there. The track demands attention, commands respect, and we are proud to revisit its place in the early development of our own musical pursuits and sound. The pure cut-throat approach to its sonic foundation is what we have consistently strived to ingrain into our own body of work and it still holds true today. We hope we do it justiceâŠâ
Therion have premiered a new video for their new song “Tuonela.” The track, which features Marko Hietala (ex-Nightwish), appears on the band’s new album “Leviathan,” which was released today (January 22). Christofer Johnsson commented:
“Like everyone else, I’m very sad and was also surprised to read that Marko is leaving Nightwish. But I understand the meaning of his reasons and there are many that are frustrated about the same things. But Marko has been active as a professional recording artist with various quality bands since the mid-’80s, so I am absolutely sure we will see his return to the scene in time. He is simply too good to not be involved with music. But right now I hope he will take a good amount of time to just find himself and get the full energy and inspiration back on track.”
Fever 333 have premiered a new video for âWrong Generation.â This song features Blink-182âs Travis Barker and it serves as the title track of the band’s latest EP. Frontman Jason Aalon Butler commented:
âWe were hoping to make a video that offered a similar energy and excitement to the live element of this Fever 333 project. I also wanted to give a nod to âSong 2â one of the coolest music videos ever made. Put these vibes together and we ended up with this.â
Soen have premiered a new video for their new song “Illusion.” This track is from the band’s new album “Imperial,” which will be released on January 29.
Drummer Martin Lopez (ex-Opeth) commented:
ââIllusionâ is a song about the shared responsibility amongst us if we wish to improve the world, change has to be made by us, you and meâŠthe people. Itâs about the frustration of feeling powerless but also the hope in realizing that things can be changed for the better. If we stop criticizing each other and making enemies of ourselves by blindly following the ideas of politicians and their media.â

Pupil Slicer have premiered a new video for their new song “Wounds Upon My Skin.” This track is from the band’s debut album âMirrors,â which will be released on March 12.
Vocalist/guitarist Katie Davies said the following about the new song and album:
ââWounds Upon My Skinâ was one of the first tracks we wrote for this album and marked a turning point where I realised I could really write anything I wanted to put in a song and make it work. It was also the starting place for the thematic elements of the album, it was the first time I had explored more introspective and personal concepts in my lyrics.â
âI used Mirrors as a vehicle to exorcise many painful experiences; topics of abuse, social anxiety and depression alongside the injustices, iniquities and oppression that many are forced to endure simply due to their existence make up the fabric of this LP. The title Mirrors itself is an example of these themes of introspection whilst also representing the reflection of the reality of society many face today. The response we got to our first single was overwhelmingly positive and we canât wait for you to experience the rest of what we have put together.â

01. âMartyrsâ

The band said the following about the new record:
“During the summer of COVID-19 we grabbed our masks, hit the studio & began to chip away at what is now known as OK Human. An album that was made by a handful of humans using only analog technologies (including a 38 piece orchestra) for all of you humans to consume.
OK Human was made at a time when humans-playing-instruments was a thing of the past. All we could do is look back on ancient times when humans really mattered and when the dark tech-takeover fantasy didnât exist. We used our instruments to connect to the 1960âs and 1970âs and, with the orchestra, back to the 18th and 19th centuries. We had no click track or loops or hi-tech sounds. Not even an electric guitar.”
As previously reported, Weezer are also planning to release another new album titled “Van Weezer” on May 7.
A Day To Remember have shared an acoustic performance of their song âDegenerates.â The clip, which was filmed in fall 2019, can be seen below. The bandâs new album âYouâre Welcomeâ will be released on March 5.
