| Today’s new LEATHERS (Shannon Hemmett, ACTORS) single, ‘Crash’ ignites with danger; real and imagined.
With her unmistakable songwriting talent, Hemmett furthers the dark, electro-pop majesty of last year’s singles ‘Fascination’ and ‘Highrise’, and delivers a captivating new track for her loyal and ever-growing fan base.
On the new track, Hemmett comments: “I’ve been exploring the theme of danger in my writing. ‘Crash’ is about the literal danger we find ourselves in, but also the tempting and insidious kind of trouble we can get into with the right company.”
Be sure to catch LEATHERS live at Cruel World Festival, on May 11th, 2024 at Brookside at The Rose Bowl, in Pasadena, CA. |

| Kontravoid has shared the second single taken from his forthcoming full-length album! ‘Reckoning’ seamlessly fuses electro-industrial elememts with gothic EBM, transporting listeners to another realm. To top it off, Kontravoid has also dropped an absolutely mind blowing self-directed and edited video to accompany the single with animation and character design by Alec Mackenzie.Recently emerging from beneath his walls of synthesizers and announcing a new album, Kontravoid’s ‘Detachment’ will see its global release on March 1st via Artoffact Records. The album’s first single, ‘For What It Is’ was released just a couple of weeks ago, and reminded the world of the musician’s otherworldly ability to carefully string together brilliantly arpeggiated synths, dark, brooding vocals, and ascending pop hooks. |

| Kill The Lights, which features former members of Bullet for My Valentine, Throw the Fight, Threat Signal, and Still Remains, have announced their sophomore album Death Melodies. It will be released on March 8 via Fearless Records.Today, the band has shared a video & new single “Sleep With the Devil.”
Singer James Clark says, “‘Sleep With the Devil,’ lyrically, deals with the struggle of addiction and the daily fight to stay sober. Every day you wake up, you are in a constant battle, with the inner voices and demons that tell you that you are not good enough, and you should give up. Simply looking at yourself in the mirror is a reminder of how you’ve let yourself, your family, and friends down. It’s a constant negative cycle that fuels your desire to mask the pain and disappointment by abusing yourself.” |

| Florida five-piece CAPSTAN — Anthony DeMario [vocals], Joe Mabry [guitar], Harrison Bormann [guitar], Andrew “Boz” Bozymowski [bass, vocals], and Scott Fisher [drums] — are pleased to announce their new album The Mosaic, out May 24 via Fearless Records.Today, the band has shared the single & video for “Misery Scene.”
Here, the band mixes dreamy choruses with buzzy, dramatic guitars, and cinematic sonic flourishes. The song will fill the room with its majestic melodies and singalongs. Misery never sounded quite so good. If Queen were a post-hardcore band, they would have made a song like “Misery Scene.”
“‘Misery Scene’ is the beginning of a change of lyrical direction for Capstan; ever introspective, the lyrics address the writer’s previous inability to break their cycle of self-destructive choices, as well as the toxic and ubiquitous admiration of poor mental health in artists. It is a song about making a conscious shift from the glorification of being unhappy for the perceived sake of art, to the desire to make a more positive impact on others’ lives,” says Mabry. |

| Whom Gods Destroy, the formidable new progressive metal group formed by keyboardist Derek Sherinian, guitarist Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal, and vocalist Dino Jelusick, along with the potent rhythm section of bassist Yas Nomura and drummer Bruno Valverde, will be releasing their debut album “Insanium” on March 15th, 2024 worldwide via InsideOutMusic.Today, a second single off “Insanium” is being released and you can also check out the track “Over Again” in a video directed and created by Wayne Joyner.
Whom Gods Destroy guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal commented about “Over Again” as follows: “This is the second song Derek and I began writing, at the time not knowing what the future would be, only that we were starting ‘over again’. Soon after, Dino was with us, then Yas, Bruno, and the song came to life. With this song and ‘War…’, our songwriting direction was falling into place – odd phrasing in verses, melodic choruses, strong lyrics, big unison music phrases, wacky solos, lots of energy throughout…“ |
