Blackbriar Releases New Song “My Soul’s Demise” and Unveils Music Video

Blackbriar, the Netherlands-based gothic/symphonic metal band, is excited to announce the release of their latest song, “My Soul’s Demise,” accompanied by a captivating music video. The band’s second full-length album is currently in the works and will feature long-time collaborator Joost van den Broek.

“My Soul’s Demise” explores the theme of love and pain, delving into the sacrifices one is willing to make for their loved ones. Inspired by the medieval practice of sin-eating, the song draws parallels between consuming sins and personal experiences. Lead vocalist Zora Cock shares her personal connection to the lyrics, which were influenced by her father’s struggles with psychosis and the story of a sin eater from England.

The music video was filmed at a medieval 12th-century church in the Netherlands, adding to the atmospheric and fitting visuals. Blackbriar enlisted the help of their loyal patrons and even featured Zora Cock’s parents in the video, creating a personal and immersive experience.

Formed in 2012, Blackbriar has been captivating audiences with their enchanting blend of storytelling and symphonic metal. Their journey began with the release of their single “Until Eternity,” which gained widespread attention and has since garnered over 18.1 million views. The band has independently released EPs such as “Fractured Fairytales” and “Our Mortal Remains,” showcasing their ethereal and captivating sound.

Blackbriar’s growing success led to notable live performances alongside renowned bands like Epica, Halestorm, In This Moment, Delain, and Mayan. With a dedicated fanbase and a strong online presence, the band successfully crowdfunded their debut full-length album, “The Cause of Shipwreck,” in 2020. Produced by Joost van den Broek, the album further solidified Blackbriar’s reputation as masterful storytellers.

Despite the challenges posed by the global pandemic, Blackbriar continued to captivate audiences with sold-out shows in the Netherlands and successful tours across Europe. In 2021, they released their single “Fairy of the Bog,” blending folklore and ancient history into their signature mystical sound.

With their vision set on the future and the support of a major label, Blackbriar is poised to enchant the world with their darkly whimsical storytelling and captivating soundscapes. Having received multiple nominations for “Best Artist” at the EuroSonic/Noorderslag’s Popgala Noord Awards, and with their monthly streaming totals nearing 1 million on YouTube and Spotify, the band is ready to embark on an extraordinary journey.

MASSACRE Surprises Fans With “Submergence: Live Beyond 2019” Album and East Coast Tour


Floridian death metal legends, MASSACRE, have released a surprise live album titled “Submergence: Live Beyond 2019” today, digitally available through Nuclear Blast Records. The record showcases a monumental performance of their highly sought-after debut album, “From Beyond,” played in its entirety. The lineup features Kam Lee on vocals, Rick Rozz on guitar, Mike Borders on bass, and Mike Mazonetto on drums. Coinciding with the album release, the band is embarking on an East Coast tour with MORTA SKULD and DRUID LORD, starting tonight in Miami, FL.

MASSACRE, hailing from Southern Florida, rose to prominence in the early 80s alongside death metal pioneers like DEATH, OBITUARY, and SIX FEET UNDER. Their legacy began with a series of revered demos: “Aggressive Tyrant” (1986), “Chamber of Ages” (1986), and “The Second Coming” (1990). They later released their critically acclaimed debut album, “From Beyond” (1991). In 2021, the band made a highly anticipated return with “Resurgence.” The album showcased the original members, Kam Lee (vocals) and Mike Borders (bass), alongside renowned death metal musicians Rogga Johansson, Jonny Pettersson, Scott Fairfax, and Brynjar Helgetun, resulting in a powerful record produced by Dan Swanö and engineered by Jonny Pettersson.

Stream “Submergence: Live Beyond 2019”!!!

Vocalist Kam Lee shares his thoughts on the live record: “This release is for the fans. It’s all about fan service, dedicated to those who truly wanted it and asked for it. It’s the closest thing to the original lineup of ‘From Beyond.’ This was the first time we performed all of ‘From Beyond’ live. It marked the return of MASSACRE since their reformation in 2017, and it was also the first show with Mike Borders since 1987. It proved that MASSACRE was back, showcasing their resurgence and delving into the band’s legacy.”

To catch MASSACRE live, check out their tour dates with MORTA SKULD & DRUID LORD:


April 28 – Miami, FL – Gramps

CHICAGO’S POST-PUNK DUO BELLHEAD TO RELEASE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED EP ‘GOOD INTENTIONS’ ON FRIDAY MAY 5TH ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS

Bellhead, a post-punk duo from Chicago, IL, USA,, will be releasing their highly anticipated EP ‘Good Intentions’ on May 5th, across all platforms.

This new release comes after the band spent most of 2022 touring to support their critically acclaimed sophomore release ‘Dead Lights’.

‘Good Intentions’ features six new songs that explore a pop sensibility while giving nods to New Order and a wink to Jesus and Mary Chain. The lead single “Valentine” evokes Depeche Mode synth lines and Placebo style bass grooves while exploring the themes of loss and hope or death and forgiveness. The EP includes other songs like “Bad Taste” and “Into the Deep”, which tackle topics like unsavory stalkers, unreliable narrators, and blood-thirsty sirens at sea. The EP’s second half includes Bellhead’s take on Love and Rockets’ hit “No Big Deal”.

Bellhead’s previous surprise single, a cover of Prince’s “I Would Die 4 U”, quickly gained popularity and earned over 6,000 plays on Spotify within 30 days of its release. The band has toured alongside international and national touring artists in 2022, and their 2023 spring dates include two shows with gothic acts Clan of Xymox and The Bellwether Syndicate. Afterward, they will co-headline nine dates with NYC’s coldwave artists The Clay People before ending the month of May as direct support for LA’s dark electronic duo Night Club in Chicago.


Bellhead has worked with their trusted production team to deliver ‘Good Intentions’, which includes audio engineer Neil Strauch (Iron and Wine/Counting Crows/Owls/Joan of Arc/Walking Bicycles/Slow Mass), mastering engineer Carl Saff (Acid Mothers Temple/Smoking Popes/Red Fang/Guided by Voices), and management team David Schock (WTII Records).

We wanted to take things back to some of our favorite inspirations for writing and performing heavy and aggressive music this time, encapsulating the tone of the EP title. We hope everyone enjoys!

Joining us for round 2, please welcome MALEVOLENCE into the series. Much love to The Acacia Strain, and thank you to them for being a part of this lineage. Check out their new forthcoming record as well!

Working with friends and peers and avoiding the pitfalls of competitiveness has always been the most rewarding part of being in a band, so as always thank you for the support and opportunity to have this platform. See you all on the road soon!”
