The band dropped Mourn the Southern Skies in October 2019 through Nuclear Blast Records.

The Halo Trees “Dark Clouds Over London” (Official Video)
The renowned US indie label COP International (Stabbing Westward, The Cassandra Complex, Beasto Blanco etc.) recently signed the Berlin band The Halo Trees. The group around singer/guitarist Sascha Blach describes their music as Deep Dark Indie Rock, which includes elements of Post-Punk, Indie Rock and Post-Rock.
The dark Rock sound is characterized by complex arrangements in which the violin also has a fixed place, as well as the frontman’s deep melancholic vocals. In the past, The Halo Trees have been repeatedly compared to bands like The National, Lambchop and Mark Lanegan. After the outfit recently released a few singles on their own such as “Mr. Abundance” or “The Beginning Of Something Beautiful”, the next record “Where The Deep Ends” will be released in spring 2024 worldwide via COP International. The band promises an introspective headphone album with a warm, organic sound that contains lots of little details. The record release will be preceded by the first single and music video still this year.
Christian Petke, label boss of COP International, says about the signing: “I am genuinely thrilled to join forces with The Halo Trees. Their music exudes an introverted, deep, and intensely quiet post-punk vibe that resonated with me on a profound level. Sascha Blach, a truly prolific songwriter, has crafted something extraordinary, and I’m eagerly anticipating the moment we can unveil their incredible new music to the world.”
Sascha Blach from The Halo Trees is pleased: “I know COP International still from the first incarnation of the label and have therefore been following Christian’s work from afar for a long time. I think it’s great that he has revitalized the label and is now expanding musically. In our conversations he proved to be a great idealist and a very likeable person. I see it as a good sign that our first Zoom call lasted over 2.5 hours. So I’m looking forward to what I hope will be a long-term collaboration and I hope we as a band can take the next step.”
It’s starting to feel a lot like fuck this: While many of us are dusting off old photos and sentimental items, Swedish melodic death metal virtuosos SOILWORK have unearthed a different kind of trip down memory lane. Today, the band digitally releases ‘Kvicksilver’, a Swedish version of ‘Mercury Shadow’, originally released in 2002 on SOILWORK’s fourth album, Natural Born Chaos.
SOILWORK states: “Here’s an old gem from the vaults! ‘Kvicksilver’ means ‘mercury’ in Swedish, and somehow we decided to make a Swedish version of one of our songs during the recording of the Natural Born Chaos album, back in 2002. We think it turned out pretty damn cool and definitely deserves to be shared with the world at this point. Enjoy ‘Mercury Shadow’ – all sung in Scanian dialect, we give you ‘Kvicksilver’!”
SOILWORK has just announced new European tour dates with IN FLAMES and ARCH ENEMY for autumn 2024. Under the banner of the Rising From The North Tour, the band will tour thirteen countries, starting in the United Kingdom on October 3rd.

SOILWORK’s high-class creative consistency, which they have maintained throughout their career, is the virtue that probably best defines them. Founded at the end of 1995, SOILWORK released their debut album Steelbath Suicide in 1998, garnering a great early response. By 2001, SOILWORK had joined Nuclear Blast, and by 2003 they already had five records under their belt.
Continuing their tradition of high-quality musical output, 2022 saw their twelfth studio album ‘Övergivenheten’, which represents the band in their growth and their current phase of life – marked by a time that probably no one on this planet will forget so quickly.
For its momentous 100th release, Distortion Productions has something truly special in store. The label’s owner, Jim Semonik, has always held a deep appreciation for the soundtrack of the 1987 film “The Lost Boys.” To pay homage to both the film and its iconic soundtrack, Distortion has curated a remarkable tribute.
From Chicago’s Go Fight’s high-energy rendition of INXS’s “Good Times” to God Module’s electrifying “Lost in the Shadows,” this album sets the mood for a vibrant party. Noteworthy tracks include Ashbury Heights’ haunting “Cry Little Sister” and Glass Apple Bonzai’s “I Still Believe.”
Every artist brings their best to the table, from Eva X covering Elton John, The Battlefront’s take on INXS, Adoration Destroyed collaborating with NØIR on The Doors, Sapphira Vee’s captivating rendition of Eddie & the Tide, to the sultry version of “Beauty Has Her Way” by Null Device.
The album reaches its zenith with Red Lokust’s “To the Shock of Miss Louise.”
So grab your copy, some comics, head to the beach in Santa Carla, and join the ranks of the lost. “Be One of Us: 1987 Revisited” is available on CD and all major digital streaming platforms via Distortion Productions.

In the heart of Eastern North Carolina, where the neon lights glimmer like promises and the echoes of the 80s still resonate, a twisted harmony of nostalgia and darkness was brewing.
Jason, is a man with a penchant for the night. Ttransplanted to the city in 1986, andfinding solace in the ethereal tunes of Duran Duran and the haunting beats of Oingo Boingo wove his fascination with the night, where mysteries unfolded in the shadows. The radio waves whispered secrets of the city, leading him down a path where the line between light and dark blurred. His punk roots intertwined with the pulse of electronic music, forming a new rhythm in his soul. It was the night that beckoned him, the night that rivaled the day for his attention.
Chris is the voice behind Night Rivals, han insatiable desire for creation, and found his calling in the wild rush of a live show. A single song written while in high school revealed the exhilaration of the stage, and he embraced the power it held over his emotions. Drums and dreams became his constant companions, and the urge to make music grew stronger. When their paths converged, a new sound emerged. Their influences, wildly different yet curiously compatible, gave birth to a unique blend of synth, goth, pop, and disco. Night Rivals was born. Unafraid to explore the unknown, they became a rhythmic enigma in the city’s underground music scene. The name Night Rivals emerged from a labyrinth of ideas. The night held the power to rival the day, to stir the passions of those who longed for something more than the ordinary. The duo’s quest to bring the night to life resonated with the audience, and the name captured the essence of their music. But the road to recognition is never easy. They found themselves in a race against time, battling against other bands with the same dreams. The night was their ally, but also their rival, challenging them to stand out in a world cloaked in shadows.
In the dimly lit studio, the creative process unfolded. Jason, untrained but driven, crafted melodies from emotions. Minor scales became his voice, an outlet for his inner darkness. Chris, the restless musician, let the lyrics write themselves as he surrendered to the music’s whims. Their songwriting was not just an artistic endeavor; it was a conduit for their souls. The melodies were catharsis, a release of their deepest desires and fears. Each composition revealed a piece of their essence, haunting and mesmerizing in equal measure. Collaboration was both a gift and a curse. The studio witnessed moments of brilliance when their differences ignited sparks of creativity. But it also bore witness to clashes, where egos clashed like titans. In their pursuit of perfection, they learned that sometimes, it was the absence of a rigid plan that allowed the music to flow. Time constraints and progress markers only stifled their creative spirits. The night gave them the freedom to create without boundaries, where music became a form of therapy.
Music had the power to change the world. It held the ability to unite people, to convey messages that words alone couldn’t. The echoes of charity concerts from their youth still resonated in their memories, reminding them of the collective strength of music. As Night Rivals, they hoped to continue the tradition, to create music that touched hearts and minds. The journey was long and arduous, but they believed that the pioneers of change were out there, finding their voices through the music. Their music embodied the essence of the night, where emotions ran deep, and desires danced in the shadows. As they played their haunting melodies, their audience was transported to a realm where the night was both a friend and a foe. In the city of Chicago, where the neon lights whispered secrets and the night held its breath, Night Rivals left an indelible mark.
The story of Night Rivals was an unfinished symphony, a journey filled with haunting echoes of the night. Their melodies continued to echo through the alleys of the city, drawing in those who longed for the enigmatic embrace of the night. In the end, their music would remain a testament to the power of the night, a tribute to the shadows that hid the mysteries of life. Night Rivals, forever in pursuit of the elusive night, left their mark on the city’s music scene, echoing through time and memory. And so, the night continued to rival the day, as the music of Night Rivals played on, a haunting melody that transcended the boundaries of time and space.

In the heart of Sheffield, a city known for its industrial past, Resistanz Festival emerged in 2011, carving a unique space in the music scene. This electronic music extravaganza was the brainchild of a passionate music enthusiast, driven by a deep love for genres like industrial, EBM, futurepop, synthpop, and power noise.
Resistanz Festival’s origins were humble but filled with ambition. It was born from the collaboration between the festival’s visionary and the renowned live music venue, Corporation. This visionary had been a fixture in Sheffield’s music scene for years, hosting club nights, live shows, and DJ sets since 2004. The festival was the natural progression, a dream come true, an opportunity to share a profound love for music with kindred spirits on a grander scale.
The festival’s niche focus on alternative electronic music was a response to the craving for diversity within the music festival landscape. In a world dominated by rock and metal festivals, Resistanz Festival offered something different. It was a celebration of electronic beats, a fusion of styles that spanned the spectrum from industrial grit to synthpop melodies.
Year after year, the festival took over the Corporation venue in Sheffield during the Easter weekend. This choice of location wasn’t arbitrary; it was a deliberate move to craft a unique atmosphere. The venue’s layout was ideal, with a main stage area, bars, an outdoor courtyard for food vendors, and a spacious warehouse for merch stalls. It transformed into one big after-party room as the night unfolded. A smaller second stage hosted fresh talent and DJs, while an upstairs area held untapped potential for future expansion.
But 2020 disrupted the festival’s rhythm. The pandemic struck, forcing a tough decision to reschedule. A year’s worth of meticulous planning and preparation hung in the balance. Resistanz Festival, like many events, faced uncertainty and disappointment. The resilience to reschedule for 2021 was met with another setback. The festival’s future hung in the balance as motivation waned.
However, the unwavering support of the festivalgoers, the passionate community that had grown around Resistanz, rekindled the flame. The decision to push forward to 2022 was a daunting challenge, requiring intense effort in a fraction of the usual time. Yet, against the odds, the festival returned, demonstrating the power of music to overcome adversity.
The lineup curation was a meticulous process. Balancing well-known acts with emerging talent was key. The festival aimed to offer an eclectic experience, drawing attendees with a blend of familiar favorites and new discoveries. Each year, the list of potential acts was refined and narrowed down to achieve this delicate equilibrium.
Resistanz Festival continued to evolve. A second room was introduced, featuring artists from genres like Chiptune, EDM, and Drum and Bass. This expansion opened doors to fresh experiences and brought diversity to the event, enriching the attendees’ musical journey.
Memories from past editions were abundant, but a few performances stood out. Acts like Celldweller, Alice In Videoland, Ultraviolence, Icon Of Coil, Savant, and Godflesh left indelible marks, embodying the festival’s commitment to excellence.
As Resistanz Festival looks to 2024, attendees can anticipate an array of musical diversity. Kanga, Zardonic, and Amelia Arsenic are just a glimpse of the talent gracing the stage. The festival’s legacy lies in its ability to connect artists with new fans, fostering growth and opportunity within the music industry.
Staying true to its roots while embracing change has been the festival’s guiding principle. Resistanz Festival is a testament to the enduring power of music to unite, inspire, and evolve. With each passing year, it forges its path, a beacon for electronic music lovers, and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of challenges.
To Deep Dive into the Resistanz Festival universe:
CZARINA, is more than a musician; she’s a multifaceted artist who paints her sonic and visual landscapes with unmatched creativity. Born in the Philippines and now based in Spain, her music defies easy categorization, blending symphonic dark electro, neo-pagan mysticism, gothic prog rock, darkwave, synthpop, and more. CZARINA’s work is a tapestry woven from animist mysticism, folklore, mythology, metaphysics, and gothic themes, creating a sound and visual experience that transcends genres.
Her journey into music wasn’t a typical one. She began as a young performer and Broadway enthusiast, but her passion later shifted towards dark alternative rock and industrial music. However, she temporarily paused her musical pursuits to build a successful career in fashion, leading her own company. Yet, the relentless ambition and eventual burnout made her realize that something vital was missing – her music. CZARINA made a life-altering decision to reignite her musical path five years ago, drawing from the rich tapestry of life experiences and perspectives she had accumulated.
The name “CZARINA” echoes her past endeavors in building “empires” and her transformative journey towards higher principles and grounded pursuits. It’s a name that carries a sense of regality, much like her shared birthday with the legendary artist Prince.
What sets CZARINA apart is her refusal to fit neatly into any musical box. Her latest record, “Arcana,” defies categorization, blending electronic and organic elements with ancient and modern sounds. Her compositions incorporate intricate rhythms, harmonic layering between orchestral and electronic instruments, and her powerful vocals. CZARINA’s music captivates with its authenticity and complexity, defying easy classification.
Her creative process is deeply influenced by her surroundings. Moving from the bustling New York City to the mystical landscapes of Galicia, Spain, profoundly impacted her sound. The ethereal beauty of the Costa Da Morte, where her house sits by the water, seeped into her music, especially on her album “Arcana.” Her music became a vessel for capturing the magic of her newfound home.
CZARINA’s artistic journey has had its challenges, but she’s learned that success in music doesn’t always follow a predictable path. It’s not a matter of being the best; it’s about finding the right audience and developing a dedicated following. Authenticity doesn’t need to compete; it resonates with those who connect with it.
Beyond her music, CZARINA believes in the metaphysical power of sound. Music is a healer, and she views her favorite artists as magicians and alchemists who know how to harness sound for profound experiences and healing. Frequencies and vibrations can dismantle the walls we build within ourselves and bring about transformation.
CZARINA is not just a vocalist; she’s a multi-instrumentalist, playing the piano/keys, synths, and guitars. Each instrument contributes uniquely to her music, whether it’s the piano as her primary composing tool or the guitar adding a distinct voice to her compositions.
She draws inspiration from artists like Tool, whose intricate rhythms and sound designs have influenced her approach. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and Bjork also inspire her to push creative boundaries while staying true to her own vision.
Her songs are open to interpretation, often holding multiple meanings and layers. For instance, “Wonderland” celebrates the magic of Galicia but also serves as a metaphor for the sacred wonder within all our lives, a reminder of the healing power of music.
Despite the challenges of a music career, CZARINA finds the most rewarding aspect in creating art that aligns with her vision and values. It’s about making something deeply personal and genuine. However, the music industry’s landscape is challenging, and artists often struggle to make a living. CZARINA believes in the power of authenticity and hopes for solutions to help independent artists thrive.
She actively supports causes that protect nature, the ocean, and wildlife, such as the Sea Shepherds. Nature and the environment hold a special place in her heart, and she advocates for their preservation.
Looking ahead, CZARINA aspires to tour the world and continue pushing her creative boundaries. Her music will evolve and progress, reaching more listeners and hearts.
In the coming months, she has exciting projects, including a cover song and music video, an epic music film for “The Fox’s Wedding,” and work on her third record, slated for release in 2024.

Ohio thrashers, War Curse, are set to release their third full-length album, “Confession,” via Blacklight Media on October 20th. The band, known for their thrash-oriented metallic attack, has built a dedicated fan base over the years.
“Confession” marks a new chapter for War Curse. The album showcases their evolution as musicians, focusing on songwriting, groove, dynamics, and melody, while retaining their signature brutal style. The first single, “Miracle Broker,” combines bludgeoning death metal with unconventional riffing, reminiscent of legendary experimentalists like Cynic, Atheist, and Gorguts.
Guitarist Justin Roth explains, “We experimented with new sounds, old sounds, took in new influences, old influences, and let the songs come together as organically as possible. If I lose my thrash card for it, oh well, I’ll hand in my battle vest.”
The pandemic disrupted their extensive touring plans in 2020, pushing the band to channel their energy into creating this album. It took a year to write and record, with each song meticulously crafted. The result is an album that stands as a cohesive musical journey.
“Confession” features the vocal contributions of Blaine Gordon, who brings a newfound confidence and melodic direction to the band’s sound. The album includes a cover of Grip Inc.’s “Rusty Nail” as a tribute to their former bassist, Jason Vie Brooks.
War Curse has released the first single, “Miracle Broker,” along with an accompanying video. The song takes aim at corrupt religious figureheads who manipulate their followers through brainwashing campaigns.
Arizona death metallers JOB FOR A COWBOY return after a near decade long hiatus with their brand new single and accompanying video for [“The Agony Seeping Storm”](insert video link). The track comes by way of the band’s first new full-length in a decade, set for release in 2024 via Metal Blade Records!
JOB FOR A COWBOY released their Sun Eater full-length in 2014. The record received an overwhelmingly positive response, with [Decibel Magazine](insert Decibel Magazine website link) confessing, “Fuck it, I can admit when I’m wrong… while I was busy pointedly not paying attention to them, these deathcore progenitors actually became a pretty damn good band.” In a 4.5/5 review, [Alternative Press](insert Alternative Press website link) championed, “a full-on progressive death metal band… the songs have progressive sweep and epic power, at times recalling Opeth’s heavier work,” adding, “Sun Eater is one of 2014′s best metal albums, period,” while [Metal Injection](insert Metal Injection website link) hailed an album, “that will be a solid brick in the foundation of the death metal genre with no gimmicks or trends to back it up.”
Ten years later, the band returns with their most volatile work to date. The as-yet-untitled full-length is at once musically multifaceted, unabashedly brutal, and compellingly conceptual. First single, [“The Agony Seeping Storm”](insert video link), is a mathematically mind-blowing hybrid of bludgeoning death metal specializing in unconventional riffing that echoes the resemblance of legendary experimentalists like Cynic, Atheist, and Gorguts. A newly refreshed and reinspired lineup – vocalist Jonny Davy, guitarists Tony Sannicandro and Al Glassman, bassist Nick Schendzielos, and drummer (since 2020) Navene Koperweis – seamlessly pick up the mantle where Sun Eater left off.
Issues Davy, “‘The Agony Seeping Storm’ gives a slice of our upcoming concept record. Regarding the video, the band collaborated extensively with director K. Hunter Lumar (Digital Mile), while our bassist, Nick Schendzielos, co-directed. The concept was inspired by a close friend who embarked on a relentless quest for profound enlightenment through the incessant abuse of hallucinogenic drugs. However, as they delved deeper into their religious-like experimentation they began exhibiting symptoms of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. They came to believe that they could access an alternate, esoteric reality through hallucinogenic intoxication, where they encountered gnostic and biblical figures and imagery. These songs reflect their thoughts, ideas, and experiences.”
Further info on JOB FOR A COWBOY’s new full-length will be revealed in the coming weeks. Stay alert!
JOB FOR A COWBOY’s official comeback show will take place at this year’s edition of Blue Ridge Rock Fest with additional live dates to be announced soon.
JOB FOR A COWBOY Live: 9/08/2023 Blue Ridge Rock Fest – Alton, VA
JOB FOR A COWBOY hails from Glendale, Arizona. Formed in 2003, the band’s debut album, Genesis, was released in 2007, peaking at #54 on the US Billboard 200 and selling 13,000 copies in its first week of release. The second album, 2009’s Ruination, sold 10,600 copies in the United States in its first week to debut at position #42 on the Billboard 200 chart! The band has been described by [The New York Times](insert The New York Times website link) as “an Arizona band with a guttural, brute-force sound descended (indirectly) from hardcore punk,” and a, “straightforwardly brutal act,” by [Rolling Stone Magazine](insert Rolling Stone Magazine website link). The band has appeared on numerous music festivals both stateside and abroad, including Sounds Of The Underground, Download Festival, Mayhem Festival, Summer Slaughter, Graspop Metal Meeting, and Wacken Open Air, among others.

With the release date fast approaching, fans can anticipate a musical journey like no other, where the boundaries between the present and the future blur, and the essence of who we are and what we desire comes into sharper focus.
In the world of music, there are artists, and then there are visionaries who take their craft to a whole new level. Claudia Blackstar, a singer and music producer hailing from Birmingham, UK, undoubtedly falls into the latter category. Born into a world steeped in musical influences, Claudia’s journey has been one of transformation, self-discovery, and the relentless pursuit of artistic excellence.
Claudia’s enigmatic Stage Persona “Claudia Blackstar” draws inspiration from the world of scene arts, where performers take on distinct roles masked in mystery. Influenced by bands like Slipknot and Ghost, Claudia weaves a visual tapestry that transcends the conventional boundaries of music. It’s a unique blend of music and theater, a testament to her artistic depth. Claudia’s music isn’t just about the visuals; it carries a profound message. Her lyrics delve into the realms of wiccan beliefs, nature, and personal reflections, inviting listeners to embark on a journey of self-discovery. Each song is a poetic exploration, leaving room for interpretation and connection.
The journey to becoming Claudia Blackstar wasn’t a straight path. Claudia’s initial foray into music was through songwriting and demos. Still, her true understanding of music expanded when she ventured into the world of music production. It was a pivotal moment that allowed her to transform her ideas into tangible musical expressions.The name “Blackstar” itself holds a captivating allure. It’s a nod to Claudia’s fascination with the dark and mysterious, drawing from influences like Lucifer Morningstar. It’s a name that’s both evocative and concise, a perfect fit for her solo work.Claudia’s musical influences are a testament to her eclectic taste. Her playlist spans from goth legends like Bauhaus and The Sisters Of Mercy to contemporary artists like Evanescence and Linkin Park. It’s a rich tapestry of sounds that she effortlessly weaves into her music, creating a unique and authentic sonic experience.
When it comes to creativity, Claudia’s process is all about letting ideas flow. She thrives in a quiet environment, fully focused on the task at hand. It’s a moment of connection with her inner self, where inspiration takes shape. Joining electro-goth project Drop Beat Empire and alternative metal outfit After Dark was a turning point in Claudia’s career. These collaborations widened her artistic horizons, allowing her to explore different musical dimensions while staying rooted in her influences.
Collaboration in the music industry can be tricky, but Claudia approaches it with professionalism and alignment of tastes. She believes in maintaining a consistent line of work while embracing diversity in styles. Balancing creativity across various projects requires clear roles and boundaries. Claudia ensures that her solo work encompasses her full creative spectrum, while collaborations allow her to focus on specific aspects, depending on the project’s needs. Yet, the path of a musician isn’t without its challenges. Burnout, a common hurdle, is something Claudia grapples with. Her valuable lesson is the importance of giving time to oneself, a reminder that self-care is paramount.
Music, for Claudia, is a powerful tool for change. It has the ability to impact lives, but its effect depends on the willingness of the audience to embrace the message. While smaller artists like Claudia may have a more localized impact, they still inspire change within their communities. Instruments like the keyboard and guitar play a significant role in Claudia’s music. They serve as tools to translate her ideas into melodies and arrangements, enhancing the emotional depth of her compositions.
Influence is a two-way street. Claudia’s singing approach, inspired by artists like Amy Lee, is characterized by a passionate delivery. It’s a passion that resonates throughout her music, an embodiment of her artistic individuality. Claudia’s lyrics, often poetic and rooted in her dark insights, carry stories waiting to be discovered. While there may not be hidden meanings, there are tales to be told, some abstract, others direct, all wrapped in her unique perspective.
The most rewarding aspect of being a musician, according to Claudia, is knowing that her work connects with someone out there. It’s the joy of making that emotional bond, even if it’s with just one person. However, the challenges of dealing with burnout are real, as time becomes the most precious resource. Claudia doesn’t just create music; she fosters a community of fellow artists. Her platform encourages and inspires others to pursue their creative endeavors, fostering a sense of togetherness.
Looking to the future, Claudia remains rooted in the present. She can’t predict what lies ahead, but as long as inspiration flows and people believe in her work, she’ll continue to evolve as an artist and as a person. As for upcoming releases, Claudia keeps her projects close to her chest, but she has announced her debut album, “Visions Of The Moon,” which promises to be a mesmerizing journey into her artistic world.

The German nu-metal ensemble presents their latest single, a cover of SYSTEM OF A DOWN’s timeless classic ‘Chop Suey’.

Timo Rotten, the band’s vocalist, comments on the endeavor: “Toxicity was one of my favorite albums when it came out, but I hadn’t heard it in a while. Then Thomas dug it up again a few weeks ago and the question immediately came to my mind: How would this sound with growls? And whether I could do it at all. We just had to try it out. Did I get it right? I think you have to decide for yourselves.”
About OCEANS: From their inception, the emerging German outfit OCEANS has captured attention with a sound that defies easy categorization, straddling nu-metal, progressive, post, and death metal, all while prioritizing mental health themes. Renowned for their innovation and experimentation within their genre, they’ve covered songs by artists like Alessia Cara and collaborated with notable musicians, including MACHINE HEAD’s Robb Flynn and CALIBAN’s Andy Dörner. With a string of releases, from EPs to full albums, OCEANS, led by visionary Timo Rotten, has firmly established itself as one of Europe’s most dedicated and prolific bands. Their triumvirate album “Hell Is Where The Heart Is,” consisting of parts I, II, and III, stands as a testament to their constant evolution.
For decades, the name Lizzy Borden has been synonymous with top-tier heavy metal music. Now, Lizzy Borden returns with his first original music since the widely praised album My Midnight Things from 2018, presenting the digital single “Death of Me” – out now!
This new single was meticulously crafted, engineered, produced, mixed, and mastered by none other than Kane Churko (known for his work with Ozzy Osbourne, Papa Roach, Five Finger Death Punch, In This Moment).
Reflecting on the new track, Lizzy Borden commented: “Death of Me was a fantastic experiment! Kane Churko was Dr. Frankenstein, and I was the monster roaring in the vocal booth as he injected bolts of electricity over and over, seeking the ideal vocal performance. Collaborating with individuals who can push me beyond my comfort zone has been a constant pursuit. As a result, I’ve never recorded two albums that sound the same. Every song I write represents an opportunity to explore new territory. In my initial conversation with Kane about working together, he remarked that he didn’t know how to do what I do, just as I hadn’t spent much time in his world. He asked, ‘Are you sure you want to give this a shot?’ I saw it as a challenge!”
Lizzy continued, “Our first two hours in the studio were spent in conversation. Kane was trying to grasp the kind of song I wanted to create with him. After producing numerous albums and performing worldwide throughout the decades, the word that resonated was perseverance. While our approaches to music may seem worlds apart, navigating life’s challenges one obstacle at a time is a universal theme… and that’s the essence of the song I aimed to compose. ‘Death of Me’ embodies the spirit of never surrendering, of refusing to let anyone drag you down. It celebrates the realization that this journey won’t be easy, yet we’re committed to overcoming it. You can cut me until I bleed, but you won’t be my demise.”
Regarding the music video, Lizzy added: “Working with Robert Graves was reminiscent of my collaboration with a young Zack Snyder (known for his work on Superman, Batman vs Superman, Justice League) on the ‘Love Is a Crime’ video from the Master of Disguise album. Their directing styles align closely, and filming felt like we were crafting a movie rather than a music video. Robert listened to the song and after a brief phone conversation, he devised this storyline. Filming this gothic horror tale was an absolute delight. A boy stalks a girl, she ensnares him like a spider capturing a fly, and too late, the boy realizes he was the victim all along; a story as old as time itself. I hope the audience has as much fun watching this video as we did creating it. See you on the other side.”

Arizona’s death-crusters, GO AHEAD AND DIE, are gearing up to release their blistering sophomore album, “Unhealthy Mechanisms,” on October 20th via Nuclear Blast Records. Crafted from the fervent minds of Igor Amadeus Cavalera (HEALING MAGIC) and Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY), this latest addition to the band’s dystopian discography delves deeply into society’s madness and the mental pollution plaguing our minds.
The album’s first glimpse arrives in the form of the single ‘Tumors.’ This headbanging track serves as a resounding call-out to the toxic elements of life, often likened to “tumors,” which, if left unchecked, can metastasize into a cancerous existence. The accompanying animated video, brilliantly created by Romanian artist Costin Chioreanu, amplifies the song’s powerful message.
Max Cavalera enthuses, “The new G.A.A.D. is on its way! More brutal, feral, extreme, and intense than ever before! The album goes in a deep dive into the mental health subject and it’s produced by Igor A! It’s by far the most anarchist record I’ve ever been a part of in my entire career!”
Igor Amadeus Cavalera adds, “I’m so excited to release this monster of a record! This album will take you through the darkened madness of declining mental health. It is definitely the heaviest record I’ve ever created, and I can’t wait to unleash it on the masses! G.A.A.D.!”
“Unhealthy Mechanisms” Production Details: Produced by Igor Amadeus Cavalera, the album’s recording took place at John Aquilino’s Platinum Underground Studio, enveloped in the mystic ambience of the Superstition Mountains’ foothills. The mixing and mastering were deftly handled by Arthur Rizk (CAVALERA, SOULFLY, TURNSTILE ). The eerie artwork, in perfect harmony with the album’s title, was envisioned by Santiago Jaramillo of Triple Seis Design. The record stands as GO AHEAD AND DIE’s testament to the global struggle of deteriorating mental health, serving as a reminder that our pain is shared. The mind may be lost, but the fuse is lit, ready to ignite everything in its path.

Following the highly acclaimed debut “Blacken the Skies” (2021), TERMINAL refines their industrial glam formula with a touch of “more industrial, more glam.” Noteworthy lyricist Thomas Mark Anthony elevates the genre, crafting intricate rhymes and anthemic choruses around themes of power, zealotry, and corruption. Building on the previous album’s critique of society’s hypocrites, the album kicks off with the compelling line “How many guns would Jesus buy?” The title and theme of the album, inspired by Plato’s Republic, delve into the idea that an unjust society is doomed, and democracy alone is insufficient against demagogues and tyrants. Enriching the mix is Anthony’s resonant baritone, while the lyrics delve into existential topics of religion and mortality, appealing particularly to the Goth community.
Dedicated to Dave Heckman, the album features tracks like:
“Asymmetric Warfare” (1:11)
“The Sin of the Sanctified [v4b]” (3:52)
“Smart Weapons” (4:50)
“Did We Ask For Truth” (4:09)
“[Redacted]” (1:05)
“Don’t Be Taken Alive” (4:14)
“The New Republic” (5:02)
“Paradoxical Reactions” (1:17)
“Fall of the Reign” (5:46)
“Dirty River [Necrosis]” (4:06)
“Testify” (4:21)
“Disproportionate Response” (1:16)
“Rise”
Get ready to explore the sonic world of “The New Republic” and experience TERMINAL’s intricate themes and captivating soundscape.
