Originally scheduled for release in June, the album will now be available in August. Based on "Throw My Bones," the first single from the new album, "Whoosh" will be worth the wait ... Friday, April 03, 2020 ... Pop punkers FRND CRCL, whose new album, “Internet Noise,” is due out May 1st, have released their first single, entitled, “Loose Cannon.” You can check out the video for the single here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ufqbfRk6tg&feature=emb_logo ... Friday, April 03, 2020 …Progressive rockers HAKEN have announced that their new album, entitled “Virus,” will be released on June 5th, 2020. Check out an introduction to the new album from the band at https://youtu.be/_XMWVUQ93io. You can also check out a video for the first single, “Prosthetic,” at https://youtu.be/4EmbYo65Pbs. Says the band about the single: “’Prosthetic’ was the first song we completed during the ‘Virus’ writing sessions and we always felt it would be the perfect opener for the album. It’s a very guitar heavy track with its roots in 80s thrash riffing, but with the unconventional rhythmic twists and turns we often like to explore in Haken. We sadly never had a Jeff Hanneman and Robert Fripp collaboration, but this song at least draws on inspiration from them both!” … Friday, April 03, 2020 … THE RETICENT has released their new single, a cover of Metallica’s classic TUNE “Fade To Black.” The new track will be featured on the band’s new album, “The Oubliette,” due out later this year on Heaven & Hell Records. Says the band’s Chris Hathcock about the choice of doing the cover: “The original is a timeless classic, but in listening to it I thought that perhaps the sadness of the words were somewhat attenuated by the catchy and driving riffs. It thematically fell right in line with the over concept of ‘The Oubliette’ as that blanket of loneliness and despair can fall over the suicidal and Alzheimer’s patients alike. I decided to reduce the instrumentation as much as possible to increase that sense of isolation and only used effects to increase the atmosphere. Minimalist and empty sounding like a hospital room. The result hopefully draws more attention to the stark hopelessness in the lyrics. The distance and atmosphere in the track are meant to feel not just isolated, but almost ghostly - as if we are hearing the baleful thoughts of a man void of hope trapped in a hospital bed.” Check out the new single at https://youtu.be/h4rUYRcVbys ... Monday, March 30, 2020 …The new video from AFTERMATH is a cover of the classic JOHN LENNON song, “Give Peace a Chance.” Says the band: "When we decided to cover ‘Give Peace a Chance’ it was meant to be a call for peace with a known enemy in a traditional war. It has now evolved into a call for peace among individuals, not just nations, as things get worse for the world in the days and months ahead. John Lennon’s urgent call for peace in ‘Give Peace a Chance’ is more important today than ever, and our call for peace with this cover is the perfect message to follow up our previous album. We released a dark concept album with a bleak message and felt it was important to follow that up with something positive. The visuals in the video are as important as the lyrics in a way. We live in a visual world today and this video needed to get out the message of HOPE. Having a young girl be the focus of the video was our way of getting that across. Seeing only positive acts when she puts on Lennon’s famous glasses was the perfect visual metaphor. Lennon’s message is transmitted not only through his lyrics but also through the perspective created by his unique lenses.” You can check out the video, directed by Steven Nathan, at https://youtu.be/maSlYQ5W5qI ...

The Chicago rockers also remind music fans to continue to support musicians by listening to streaming services, watching videos on YouTube, and buying merchandise online to support their favrorites. Says the band’s Rawrb: "We recently started poking around at the idea of performing over the internet, live, all while interacting with the fans and viewers. Our amazing fans showed up and supported us right back, and it's so amazing that this sort of thing can be done in such strange times. Any band can do this, and I encourage those performers out there who are unable to tour or play regular shows to look into live streaming. You just might surprise yourself at how well you'd do." Adds Joshy: "If people can't go out to shows, then we'll come to them in their homes... so heat up a bowl of ramen noodles and let's have some damn fun. Just because we're not supposed to leave the house doesn't mean we aren't allowed to have fun." To join the fun, visit https://youtu.be/LzbAcndoHAI ...
