... MYTHRAEUM have released the digital single, "Skies Torn Asunder," from their forthcoming full-length album due this summer.

A 'get-up-and-go' type song that is sure to get the pit moving.” Check it out here: http://youtu.be/Kw30QLFGTDU?si=jl508v4VRWFNPkFg ...

... SKID ROW have announced that Erik Grönwall is leaving the band in an amicable departure. Says Erik: “I got the opportunity to join this incredible band six months after my treatment against leukemia. And one month after that I was on a world tour with Skid fucking Row. Wow! It was a dream come true. However, it proved challenging touring the world with an impaired immune system, which is a result of my bone marrow transplant. I respect and understand that Skid Row is a touring band but since I can’t prioritize my health being in the band, I have decided that it’s better for me to step aside. I love Skid Row, I have nothing but respect for the guys in the band but I love and respect my health more. I’m getting stronger and healthier every day but after consulting my doctor I need to allow myself more time to recover, which I can’t do as the lead singer of Skid Row. That’s why I have reached the tough decision to move on. I want to thank the guys for this incredible opportunity. And I want to thank all the Skid Row fans who accepted me as the lead singer of this iconic band. Health first!” Adds the band: “Skid Row is proud of what they have created and accomplished with Erik over the past two years and we wish nothing but the best to him and his health. To celebrate the last two years the band will be releasing a live album that perfectly captures this moment of time in the band’s 35+ year history, to be announced soon." Taking the mic for the upcoming four concerts will be the legendary Lzzy Hale ...

... FOZZY has announced their 25th Anniversary tour, taking place in the month of October 2024. Says the band's Chris Jericho: "It's hard to believe that a band that was once accused of being a 'wrestler's vanity project,' has now amassed six Top 10 Mainstream Rock Radio hits, released eight albums, toured the world in over 20 countries, and earned a GOLD RECORD.....but we have and we've been doing it for 25 YEARS. Not many bands can say that, and out of the ones that can, not many of those can say they are currently at their creative, artistic, and commercial peaks. Yet Fozzy can and we are damn proud of it! That's why we are so excited to bring our 25th anniversary celebration to your city over the next 18 months, starting in October. We have built a reputation of being a band you don't wanna miss, and we take great pride in that because it’s the truth! So, as always, crank up the music, buy your tickets early, and wear a helmet. Because this is our 25th Year Rock 'N' Roll Party…and we aren't f'ing around. See you soon!" For more information, check out http://fozzyrock.com/ ...

... CAPTAIN HAWK will release "Ghosts of the Sea" on April 3rd. Says producer Bob Katsionis about the symphonic/power metal release: "Just when I thought Elina (Englezou) was taking some time off from the stressful period recording and releasing her debut, 'Goditha,' I received a wetransfer with a folder reading 'Captain Hawk' featuring some mp3 demos. I pressed 'play' and in less than 10 minutes time I called her up and asked her: 'What, on Earth, is this thing you sent me? Is it your new album? When do we start?' One thing I admire about her, besides her songwriting skills and constant flow of inspiration, is her persistence; no one can tell this lady 'you can't do this or that.' Once again, she wrote everything on her own, gathered, arranged and recorded all these wonderful singers, wrote all the choir parts and made all the artworks, videos, booklet and LP designs. And, here we are today with our second baby pirate ready to sail!" For more information, check out http://captainhawk.bandcamp.com/album/ghosts-of-the-sea ...

... "Free Spirit Soar," WARLORD's first new studio album since the untimely passing of William J. Tsamis, will be released on May 10th. Says Giles Lavery of the new album: "We wanted to finish these pieces of music 'for Bill' and the material we felt was certainly strong enough to inspire us to do so.” As for the guitar parts, Lavery adds: "Bill is there where we could pull his tracks off the demo recordings, in much the same way the Beatles were recently able to rescue John Lennon’s voice from an old demo tape. Eric (Juris) does most of the heavy lifting on guitar, but all music was written by Bill and we stayed very very faithful to what he wrote.

... Sludge metallers DOPETHRONE will release their first album in six years with "Broke Sabbath," due out this spring. Says the band about the new release: "We went full 'Volume 4' on this one. The last few years have been tough for the underground, we swam against a tsunami of nonsensical bullshit and still managed not to drown. It's just like a stew, we all know that the scum always rises to the top... And here we are! We decided to turn up the 'not giving a fuck' knob to 11, stepped out of our rusty dumpster, gave it a spit-shine and lit the fucker on fire. We went 'full DIY' on the cover artwork. We grabbed a shit-ton of Hochelaga alley dirt, junk, slutch and dumped it on our saloon floor, made a concoction of 'fake' blood and proceeded to surgically etch the Dopethrone logo on this stinking putrid pile. We also made all our videos with no budget and full dedication. Passion is known to exceed the norms of expectation, but we're not passionate, we're obsessed, so you better buckle up."

Says Downing of the song/video: "The Keeper of The Graves is the defender, the sentinel, and the protector of all of the dead. This ageless being, throughout many centuries, has fought many battles with marauders that seek to prey on the souls of the buried and entombed. But alas, it would be inevitable that one day the kiss of Judas would land on his lips and the cold steel of the evil ones would thrust forward and penetrate the heart drawing the blood of death. As the moon turns red, no one will be saved. Who will avenge the Keeper of The Graves?"

... SENTRY is the new band featuring former members of MANILLA ROAD, formed five years after the death of the band's Mark Shelton. Their self-titled debut, on High Roller Records, will be released on March 1st. Wondering why the band didn't continue as Manilla Road? Phil Ross explains: “You can't fault anyone for taking note of the personnel in Sentry. Three of us were in the band when Mark passed away, and all four of us spearheaded the Manilla tribute show at Keep It True in 2019. To share that closure on stage at KIT with some of Mark's closest friends and admirers (the other members in the tribute show) also helped us close this chapter in our lives. We don't need to pretend we are something we are not, we simply wish to be ourselves within this new band. To move on in this group and write new material and try to call it Manilla Road would have been absurd, and it's not anything we ever thought about. If you ask anyone in Sentry, they will tell you that Manilla Road was Mark Shelton, plain and simple." For more information, check out http://sentrymetal.company.site ...

Says the band about the new track: "The second single from Birdstone's new chapter, inaugurated with the release of 'Hotline' in November 2023, 'Méandres' is an emotional journey into loss and nostalgia, painting vivid images of faded memories and broken bonds. Locked away in intimacy and the daily routine, the reconstruction process is depicted here like an introspective maze from which one must find the way out. Through the meanders of writing, memories are anchored in order to pursue the quest for acceptance and renewal. I'll never be the same."

... THE PINEAPPLE THIEF has released a video for the title track from their latest album, "It Leads to This?" Says the band's Bruce Soord: "‘It Leads to This’ can, and should, be read with a question mark. Is the world doomed? Could we have acted differently? Do people change? Does it lead to this? As much as I go on about the polarised state of the world, it’s a minority creating this toxic environment that a lot of us have to live in. So, there's a positive message from this - it shouldn't, it doesn't have to lead to this. I’m so proud of this album and song. I just can't wait to get out there and sing it. I'm going to be able to sing every word, play every note, and feel really good about all of it.” Check out the video by clicking here: http://youtu.be/lbTx2GzAKkc ...

... Melodic power metallers SIGNUM REGIS have just relesed their cover version of MEGADETH's "Tornado of Souls." Says the band's Ronnie König: "'Tornado of Souls' by Megadeth became iconic for a reason. In the age of Instagram musicians, you can probably find hundreds of covers of this song, because it has had such an impact. However, most of the time, you will find guitar solo covers or drum covers played by an individual. Our cover is very unique, because we did it as a real band. From the legendary guitar solo, through the vocals and amazing audio production by Jacob Hansen to a real music video, we are bringing the full experience. We did our very best to honor this classic the way it deserves and we hope you'll enjoy it!" Check it out at http://youtu.be/iiE8ay4dtyw?si=W1-uo3fsoO0YdxQk ...

... DUST BOLT will release their new album, "Sound & Fury," on February 23rd. Says the band's Lenny Bruce about the new album: "“It’s a natural evolution. We’ve expanded but we haven’t changed. We felt like we got the label of being a thrash metal band, and it was restrictive. We couldn’t do certain things because they wouldn’t be considered thrash! But it was a good time, during the pandemic, because there was no media, no press, and I didn’t check emails and stuff, so we were free. I would write a riff and I didn’t care if it was thrash metal or not. It was a good time to really find out who I am as a guitar player and as a singer, and I took the time to really find it out and then we made the record. So there is a change in style, but it’s 100 percent us, perhaps more than ever.” For more information, check out http://www.dustbolt.net ...
