The new single, "Don't Leave me In the Dark," features LITA FORD sharing vocal duties. Says Warwick: "Lita Ford is a true hardcore rocker, she’s the real deal in every way. The attitude, energy and professionalism she brought to the video shoot was inspiring on every level…She also brought her famous original Hamer Guitar that dates way back to her time in The Runaways. When I wrote the lyrics for ‘Don’t Leave Me In The Dark’ I knew right away the song needed to be performed as a duet. Lita instantly sprang to mind. I’m honoured that she agreed to be a part of it. She absolutely nailed it sonically and visually as I knew she would.” Adds Lita: “When I first got the call to record a duet with Ricky Warwick my first thought was about the legacy that this man carries. From our beloved early Thin Lizzy days up to today, Ricky carries that torch. An era that is close to my soul. Ricky’s image and voice is as dark and mysterious as his black leather and black Les Paul, but at the same time, a super cool and mega-talented artist. When I heard the song ‘Don’t Leave Me In The Dark’ I felt that it would be a killer duet because our vocal styles and images would complement each other. I really enjoyed working with someone who is so talented, down to earth, and has real grit and determination!” Check out the video here: http://youtu.be/ehGbqFkZYgw?si=DMLeFNCRANaPQLGF ... Wednesday, October 09, 2024 ... VAJRA has release a "cinematic mini-movie" for its new single, "Truth Has May Lies." Says vocalist Annamaria Pinna: “The story from the video was inspired by my own life events. Lured by the prestige and high salary of a corporate job in the Big Apple, I took it, but almost immediately, I felt my insides were rotting. Lack of fresh air, and the daily hum-drum routine severely depressed me. I had to take some difficult looks in the mirror, gather up some courage, and do what I felt was right for me. I walked out, and I moved to India. There, I was forced to confront my assumptions about myself, the world around me, and to uncover my truth, reclaiming pieces of myself in foreign land. That’s where I wrote the demo for our first album 'Pleroma.' India was my self-imposed exile, my escape, my search, and my inspiration. I went there to question who I was, why I did what I did, and to explore what it was that I wanted, shedding some of the things others made me think I wanted. The video for 'Truth Has Many Lies' parallels this journey, and includes a special green twist at the end. We had a three-person crew: Dave, Tas and me. The editing was a crazy ton of work, but we are proud of where it led us." Check out the video here: http://youtu.be/yC58GcSysJA?si=lH9AsU74xFZp4xVu ... Wednesday, October 09, 2024 ...

Included in the EP is a cover version of IRON MAIDEN's "Moonchild." Says the band's Janne Hietala: "Over the years we have been discussing the possibility of recording a cover song. Some of us have been listening to a lot of Iron Maiden and 'Moonchild' has popped out as a song that has the right atmosphere and is fun to play. Of course, there's a difference compared to our own songs – less brutality and more 80's & well, Maiden -feel, but the result fits into 'Coda' surprisingly well. Our vocal abilities are pretty damn far from Bruce Dickinson’s, but it was a good challenge to handle Iron Maiden song in our way. We actually might have even learned something in the process.” ...

According to interviews with Rock Candy magazine, the band's Michael Schenker recently commented: “I don’t know if Phil’s (Mogg) physically fit. But I’ll certainly think about a last UFO show if the possibility arises.” Adds drummer Andy Parker when asked the same question: “Absolutely. Why wouldn’t I be up for it? It’s down to Phillip, though. I’m really grateful that he survived his health scare a couple of years ago and is back singing. I miss [band members] Pete [Way] and Paul [Raymond] terribly, and I’m really grateful that Phil is still with us. I would have liked to finish on a higher note with UFO, and maybe Phil might change his mind about playing with the band somewhere down the road.” Only time will tell.

Interestingly, the band's vocalist, Chris Kang, says: "Admittedly, we aren't necessarily massive Jethro Tull fans but had wanted to work with Magnetic Eye for a long time, so when this invitation came up, we were like... okay, what the hell do we do with this? Figuring out how to approach it was seriously a fun, happy, and rewarding challenge, and we decided to lean into two main things remarkable about 'Mother Goose': the folk element and the abstract insanity of the lyrics. We had a lot of fun trying to sing those crazy lyrics as dead-seriously as possible, as if they were totally normal things to say, like: 'and the chicken-fancier came to play!'. And of course adding a bunch of heaviness and noise was also very entertaining. By the end, we just had a shit ton of fun cutting loose and making it as weird and heavy as we could, and we all ended up feeling super proud of our contribution."

We may feel afraid we are not strong enough to face the battles ahead or we feel anxious that we are veering away from the life we want. This song is about fighting inner demons, challenging our insecurities or preconceived notions and rising above. Trust nothing but yourself to achieve what you want in life, following your own footsteps. Realize: you are exactly where you are meant to be and who you are meant to become.” Check out "Another Lifetime" here: http://youtu.be/LVBQY1HIpbw?si=bvAayNHX_1i5xzRb ...

While this EP is a true labor of love, I would be remiss in not mentioning that it was sometimes also a labor of pain, lots of introspection, and unbridled soul-quenching.

Says the band's vocalist Phil Bozeman: “‘A Visceral Retch’ is a song that fans of 'The Somatic Defilement' will latch onto immediately. It was one of the first songs we had in the chamber to work with. This song came to light thanks mostly to [guitarist] Zach Householder. He showed us and we all immediately said, ‘yup, that’s it.’ Zach is notorious for very dark and horror-like vibes so this album is right in his wheelhouse. The song is disturbing. Imagine being put in a situation of survival by gluttonous, mammoth demons that give you a choice. Eat the demons’ waste, eat each other, or starve to death. The twist, you’re against the people you love the most. It’s a way to find the ones that are truly evil people to build and strengthen their cult. It also represents how horrible people can really be, when push comes to shove.” Check it out here: http://youtu.be/UzsX5pjZggo?si=t6Q68j3eZ7AEcN79 ... Thursday, September 12, 2024 ...

Says the band: “‘Dear Mouse’ is less a comeback album than a tying up of loose ends. The ten songs were all started in 2014 or earlier. They sat as fragments for a long time, but as life pulled the band apart, we couldn’t ignore these unfinished gems—or so we thought of them. We chipped away at them on and off. They dragged us along almost painfully at times. For the final three years, we pushed as hard as our lives would allow. Ultimately, Dear Mouse was a test of our perseverance and of getting out what needed to be said. We can rest now. And we will. We hope you find something in the music to appreciate.” ...

The band has re-acquired the original master tapes and master producer TOM ALLOM has gone to work, making the album sound better than ever. Says Allom: "What we did with the multitracks is quite unusual, to completely remix an album from that era, from scratch. So to clarify what we’re doing, we’re not adding anything musically. We’re not re-recording any of the musical parts. We're remixing them, rebalancing them using the technology we have, the modern tools we have now, to sonically upgrade them, and make them sound more powerful.” Adds ROB HALFORD: "I'm just thrilled… because it just goes to show you when you get an expert involved in a project, it’s likely that you have a second chance. And I think that Tom Allom is giving us a second chance here with the way that a lot of the elements were lost in 'Rocka Rolla.' And it’s also nice, like a really nice feeling, especially to attach it to what will be a 50th anniversary moment. It’s just a beautiful feeling.” Says GLENN TIPTON: “This is where it all started for us and 50 years later, we have a great re-mixed and re-mastered version of the original...and the band are still going strong!” IAN HILL adds: “Recorded during nighttime sessions to save costs, over a few weeks in June and July 1974, on a shoestring budget, Rocka Rolla was always going to have its flaws! But walking into my local record store and seeing it on a shelf amongst all your idol’s records was the proudest feeling in the world, and I thought, ‘Whatever happens now, nothing can change that!’ Now re-mixed by Tom Allom and re-mastered, Rocka Rolla has finally got the production it deserved!” And KK Downing says: “At last! This! The first Judas Priest album can be listened to and enjoyed in the way it was always intended to be!” Pre-order the 50th Anniversary Edition of "Rocka Rolla" here: http://judaspriest.ffm.to/rockarolla ...

Says the band about the new single: "'Silent Escape'" is all about the addiction of painkillers and the struggle to be released of its darkness. The main premise is that the protagonist finds something intriguing and captivating, only to fall victim to its addictive qualities. The addiction will take the form of a zombie-like yet undefinable shape. This shape will emit the only light in the video. Behind the light comes a darkness, like a barrier between the natural healthy light and the unhealthy light of addiction. A barrier that sucks away any hope. The video follows the man’s struggle with addiction and how difficult it ultimately is to be free." See "Silent Escape" here: http://youtu.be/VVkmAtJNFYE?si=XRsN58NYmmUcI7TS ...

Thursday, August 22, 2024 ... SPECIAL LIVE REPORT FROM SNIDERMANN: So my wife and I got to see SAMMY HAGAR AND THE CIRCLE play in Los Angeles at the Kia Forum on Monday, Aug 19th. (Formerly known as The LA Forum, once the home of the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers and the Los Angeles Kings, and, of course, many concerts. Live music shows have been performed at the LA Forum for decades and it has hosted some of the and best musical acts since 1967. Who's played there? Maybe a better question is Who Hasn't? I've seen Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band (three times), Kiss (twice), Rush (twice in three days), AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Pat Benatar and many other shows I can’t seem to remember right now. Right next door is the enormous SoFi Stadium, that massive bizarre-ass looking multi-billion-dollar building, home of the Chargers and Rams. The Kia Forum looks like a discarded turtle next to the massive SoFi. There were rumors they were going to level the Forum because it's such prime real estate and I am surprised they did not. I am very happy someone had the foresight to keep the venue for (mostly) music concerts. The day of the Hagar show had finally arrived and the word "excited" does not begin to convey my true emotions. LOVERBOY, who were huge in the 80s, were the opening act and they were perfect. Loverboy had a few big hits: "Turn Me Loose," "Working For The Weekend," "When It’s Over," "Lovin’ Every Minute of It," "This Could Be the Night," "Lucky Ones," "Notorious" and "Queen of the Broken Hearts," just to name a few. Vocalist Mike Reno said something funny a few years ago that's stuck with me since then. He said (and I paraphrase here), "Back in the 80s, I was 32 waist and 36 length inseam, now I'm 36 waist and 32 length." Hagar and the Circle were up next. Hagar, The Red Rocker, has fronted numerous bands over the years, including Montrose, Chickenfoot, the Waboritas, Van Halen (of course) and, currently, The Circle. Seeing Sammy live has been a bucket list item for me for quite some time and, at last, I actually got to see him live. The Circle’s current line up is Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Jason Bonham and Joe Satriani and, man, what a show they put on. I have give Joe Satriani props; he did a great job playing Eddie Van Halen’s music and everyone knows that can’t be an easy assignment. Sammy Hagar, a very young 76 years old, put on a vibrant show and he did it for a straight two hours. I was getting tired just watching him!. The show encompassed every aspect of the Red Rocker’s career, from Montrose to Van Halen and everything in between. Michael Anthony, bassist extraordinaire and singer of the very high notes for Van Halen, lends his talent for The Circle. When it comes to Van Halen cuts, it sounds very much like the old songs when Sammy was with Van Halen. Sammy and the band did version of "Panama" and he sang it better than David Lee Roth. The crowd was totally into it: We sang, we yelled, we drank, ate popcorn and Junior Mints (I bought the mints for my wife) and then did everything all over again. Sammy and Michael were drinking tequila out of the bottle and it looked like they were having a great time. I can see Sammy Hagar as a traveling bard 1000 years ago, traveling Europe and singing and telling stories for his dinner and his drink. I can also see him as a jazz singer at the turn of the century, hair slicked back playing to a smoky room, people drinking martinis while he plays guitar with a stand up bass and a drummer behind him and playing music. I see him as an Elvis style character, swinging his hip with (again) hair slicked back, but this time with his hair in a ducktail (ask your parents if you don’t get that reference). Whatever era, whatever time, be it now or 1000 years ago, I see Sammy Hagar singing and playing his guitar for a group of people for his supper, his drink and/or lodge. Sammy Hagar was put on this Earth to perform and perform he does. It's a party! It makes people happy and I would have to say his goal was achieved to the max. Anyone who has not seen Sammy Hagar live, I suggest you go and I mean soon, because this son of a bitch knows how to put on a concert ... Thursday, August 22, 2024 ...

LAMB OF GOD will release the 20th Anniversary Edition of their album, "Ashes of the Wake," on August 30th. The album includes a new version of "Another Nail For Your Coffin" featuring KUBLAI KHAN TX and MALEVOLENCE. Says Lamb of God's Mark Morton: “I’m excited to see ‘Another Nail For Your Coffin’ get reborn! This has always been a really cool, unique song in the Lamb of God catalog but it’s been overlooked since it was a bonus track. Matt and Alex both absolutely spit flames on this new, updated version, and gave it a ferocious modern energy. I’m glad to see this tune get some shine after all this time!” Adds vocalist Randy Blythe: “I’m not much for re-recording our existing material – old songs are a snapshot of where we were as a band at that time, for better or worse. But when the idea came up to have a guest vocalist re-do my parts on ‘Another Nail For Your Coffin,’ I was all for it, especially if we could get two younger heavy hitters to bring a fresh approach to the song. Anyone who has seen Malevolence and Kublai Khan TX know that Alex and Matt crush it – it’s an honor to have these dudes bring new life to the tune 20 years after we first recorded it." ...

Wednesday, August 14, 2024 ... SLOWER, the band that cover SLAYER songs like you've never heard them, have announced their new album, "Rage and Ruin," due out on November 1st. And this one might be a little different. Says the band's Bob Balch: "When we started this album, the original intention was to cover Slayer's EP 'Haunting The Chapel' in its entirety. We started with 'Chemical Warfare' then went on to 'Haunting The Chapel,' but once we got to 'Captor Of Sin' we realized that tune didn’t want to be slowed down at all. So we started writing our own songs and I’m glad we did. The result is 'Rage And Ruin.' Two sides with Slayer songs in the middle, bookended by Slower originals. We are super proud of this record and can’t wait for you to hear it!." Adds bassist/vocalist Amy Tung Barrysmith: "When we started writing originals, I wanted to try to keep to the same themes that Slayer wrote about. There are a lot of songs about war in Slayer’s songs and when I heard the Hellfire riff, the first image that came to mind was just this bright red fire raining down from the heavens. With all of the upheaval in the world today, it seemed like a fitting topic. What makes this song slightly unique, though, is that I came up with the title, Hellfire, first from that initial image I had in my head. Writing the lyrics after that was easy."

As you've probably heard on all the national news networks, AEROSMITH have announced their retirement from touring. Said the band in a release: "It was 1970 when a spark of inspiration became Aerosmith. Thanks to you, our Blue Army, that spark caught flame and has been burning for over five decades. Some of you have been with us since the beginning and all of you are the reason we made rock ‘n’ roll history. It has been the honor of our lives to have our music become part of yours. In every club, on every massive tour and at moments grand and private you have given us a place in the soundtrack of your lives. We’ve always wanted to blow your mind when performing. As you know, Steven’s voice is an instrument like no other. He has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury. We’ve seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side. Sadly, it is clear, that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible. We have made a heartbreaking and difficult, but necessary, decision - as a band of brothers - to retire from the touring stage." For more information, check out http://www.aerosmith.com ...

The track is from the band's new album, "People Watching," due out September 13th via Sharptone Records. Says the band's Jack Murray: "The title pretty much explains the gist of it all. Wants turn to needs and needs seem to dwindle. Priorities lessen and feelings of envy and loss tend to engulf some people. Craig absolutely nailed the feature just as we expected him to and before we even asked for it. Craigathan rules." Adds guitairst Jimmy Howell: "I think 'Wants I Need' is a very surprising song for us. The song is punishingly heavy through but then makes way for a climax that leans more into the emotional side of our band as opposed to just trying to be as heavy as possible. We’re incredibly grateful to have Craig as a part of our album and we hope to collaborate more in the future."

Says the band regarding the new album: "Set directly after the events of 'Book I: The Resurrection,' the album begins with Whiteacre The Mighty Warlock stranded in A Strange New World - powerless and alone. With the help of the Elven Prince Quinn Eilianther, Horatus the Mushroom Wizard and Ahriman Cullblade the Shadow assassin, Whiteacre the Nomad begins the long quest to The Valley of Vâgené - said to be the home of a gateway to the vast infinite multiverse. Danger awaits the brave heroes however, for Brittanni is ruled by the tyrannical Dwarf Emperor Thorumm III who seeks The Valley for his own nefarious purposes. The prophesized coming of a stranger to the land of Brittanni has awakened the gateway - and the race to the multiverse has begun… The land of Brittanni holds many secrets, and not everything is as it seems… The quest to The Valley of Vâgené begins NOW!"

I know the end of it, but how we will get there will be a long trip. There are so many characters, and so many unexpected things along this journey. It's a crazy family on another timeline in 1920, where I experienced some hard times, and they have to come to our time to steal from us to survive. This is the most elaborate thing we have ever done, that goes for the stage production as well. There will be additional backing vocals by Myrkur and she'll be playing organ for songs that need it. There will be some horrific surprises taking place on stage, but we are not to be held responsible since we are on a whole different timeline in 1920. It was back at the time when medicine was going through a dark period with lots of testing on human beings in order to progress medicine.

Both albums are filled with the same atmosphere – that of the north, of ancient Scandinavia and Russia. In both cases the music and lyrics are based on mythology and mysticism of these regions. Of course, now we have become much more experienced musically than in the 90s, but we tried to keep the epic vibe of northern cold vastness, the very same we managed to create back then. And it is very important that Felipe feels and expresses it as well as we do.” ... Friday, July 26, 2024 ...

Man does exactly what he shouldn’t do and goes out on the town. Man wakes up groggily to find that the girl hasn’t stepped up, she’s stepped aside. To allow for more futile wasted nights out on the town. Los endos." Adds Clark: "It's a tale of two Jimmies - Kunes and Hendrix! The main guitar riff owes a lot to Hendrix, but the way I’m jumping octaves in it comes from some of Kunes’ signature vocal acrobatics. That’s how we bounce off each other in the writing process.

The EP's purpose is clear enough, according to the band's Devon, who told punknews.org: “We hope this music video reaches Ben Schwartz. The voice of Sonic the Hedgehog. That dude is so ska-coded that if he hears this he'll likely take it to Paramount Plus and demand it be featured in the Amy Rose spinoff series that is inevitable and deserved. If you want a more serious answer everyone in the world should see this art. Every time we play this song I refer to it as an 'obscure video game cover' which it definitely is NOT. People lose their minds. Granted our version is probably the best version so that helps. Sonic fans are everywhere. Going fast is universal. Universal Fast-Care for All. I've wanted to do a Video Game EP for a long time. This band is a band of video game players… Like everyone on this planet at this point. Video games are art to me. I don't watch a ton of movies… Not a reader… Love me some video games though. It started as a bigger project but we whittled it down to these two songs, for now. If this incredible product we've put together sells then I would confidently say you can see a full release of VG tunes. Tell us you want that. Thank you.” Check out "Escape from the City" here: http://youtu.be/lWTwaI3mM0E?si=vy1-nz3tR6HmxgGH ... Tuesday, July 16, 2024 ...

Says the band regarding the track: "'Knife Bouquet' is a track of necessary catharsis; wanting to move on from years-old heartbreak but unsure of how to do so. Lyrically collected from old journal entries and sonically rooted in the sound we have developed over the last two records, 'Knife Bouquet' is a statement of intent for us as a band and one of the first tracks that came out of post-Garden writing sessions. We wrote the song with our good friend Matt (Reynolds - Haggard Cat, Heck) in mind for the final section, and we're so glad he agreed to jump on. We're super proud of this track and can't wait to start playing it live." Check it out here: http://youtu.be/AVbQBIkMUEs?si=xTPmTahgKO4C0I_q ... Tuesday, July 16, 2024 ...

It's about wanting to be taken seriously for your contributions and skills without being objectified or undermined in any profession or passion. When it came to making a music video, we wanted to bring that idea to life, but in true Living Dead Girl form, it still needed to have an element of fun and humor. Even with a serious message, we still are a band that likes to have fun in everything we do. I paid some subtle homage to The Powerpuff Girls and their message of girl power and empowerment, while playing into the aesthetic of a campy horror movie. All while tying it into a gym setting: the place in which every woman just wants to be left alone!" Check out the video here: http://youtu.be/UuCZjpMwZQo?si=wn30K-uHoNzbXrg1 ...

VIRGIN STEELE will re-release their first two albums, "Virgin Steele 1" and "Guardians of the Flame," in special Anniversary Editions, on August 23rd. Says the band's David DeFeis about the first album, "... this is indeed a very special re-issue …this is a celebration. Every song on the album has been lovingly restored, with faith, heart & Steele. Incredibly for the most part, the original multi-track tapes held up quite well, but now and again some creative decisions had to be made, which not only did not at all hinder the record’s resurrection, but in the end, actually resulted in making the album stronger, and the songs even more interesting. The original fire has been kept…enhanced, and sonically there is greater definition all around. You can really appreciate the explosive performances from everyone. It’s like being back in the studio the day it was recorded. In addition to the inclusion of the early demos, we were also able to include several new bonus tracks including a new thrashing doom-type song called 'Hell from Beyond the Stars," plus an alternate version of 'The Fire God," and a new over the top version of the song 'Virgin Steele' (New Orchestral Version)." About the second album, DeFeis says: "It was a joy to go back to the original multi-tracks, listen and find all the various outtakes, studio chatter, and even a long-forgotten piano solo that I had done. In resurrecting this album, I did my best to try to preserve the original feel and integrity of what we were trying to achieve, while at the same time hoping to make it sonically clearer and more direct. The original energy and exuberant fire remain…and there is greater definition all around." For more information, check out http://www.virgin-steele.com/ ... Tuesday, July 09, 2024 ...

In celebration of the release of their new album, "Decimator!," KRYPTOS has released a video for the track "We Are the Night." Says the band's Nolan Lewis about the new album: “'Decimator' is without question our finest hour so far. We’ve sharpened our songwriting to a razor point and the album is absolutely exploding with pure heavy metal power and attitude.
