CELLAR DARLING will participate in Tohuwabohu Festival on June 21st: a stream-only, pay-what-you-want event broadcast live from a legendary Swiss venue, with full stage production, audio and lights. Also on the lineup are Swiss metal legends SAMAEL, ILLUMISHADE (featuring Fabienne Erni & Jonas Wolf of ELUVEITIE), and KASSOGTHA. The festival is organised on principles of fairness and accessibility to all metalheads all around the world, with all bands receiving a share of all revenues and a portion of proceeds being passed on to a range of music-related charities.
Merlin comments: “After receiving such incredible feedback to our “Live at Soundfarm” stream from the studio in early May, we knew we wanted to put on another live-streamed show — but we were hoping for something closer to a real stage setting. Enter Tohuwabohu Festival! Along with three other amazing bands, we will play one of Switzerland’s foremost rock & metal venues, bringing a full show to your living room, broadcast with professional cameras. Among all of these cancellations, we couldn’t be happier to instead announce at least one ‘summer festival’!”
The festival and the bands rely on the voluntary contributions from metal fans around the world. Festival merchandise is also available, with free worldwide shipping.
CELLAR DARLING‘s latest album, “The Spell” will be completely visualised with animated music videos to present the whole story of the albumin the enchanting and unmistakable style of Costin Chioreanu’s visual imagination. The remaining videos will be released later this year to complete the story so far.
CELLAR DARLING‘s latest album »The Spell« is available on all digital platforms as well as in physical collector’s editions version as a 2LP black vinyl or a limited edition 2CD digibook featuring an audiobook of Anna narrating the story of the record: http://nblast.de/CDTheSpell
It is the maybe most demanding project of the Swedish metal icons: “The Feverish Trinity”, a trilogy of songs with accompanying videos that, according to SOILWORK, would ‘celebrate the Babylonian Death Goddesses that once made the world a more feverish and exiting place’.
This May, 29th, the band will take their last steps on this journey that led us to the abysses and dark sides of humanity and release the final installment of this entity: “Death Diviner”.
Today, the band already releases a monumental trailer for “The Feverish Trinity” lifting the veil for a short moment and revealing the bands’ thoughts behind the concept:
To celebrate the release of “Death Diviner” and the showdown of “The Feverish Trinity”, SOILWORK will unleash the official music video in an Youtube premiere tomorrow, 19.00 CET, and join the premiere for a live chat on Youtube.
Set yourself an reminder for the premiere of ‘Death Diviner’ here:
Commented the band: “Death Diviner is the final installment in the Feverish trilogy, the end of the path that Feverish and Desperado set us upon. The overall theme of these three songs is an attempt to describe the otherworldy, the emotions your body can’t contain and the desperate measures you take when you feel that there is something out there calling for you, something much bigger than you, but you know that if you could reach it, talk to it, you’d feel a sense of belonging for the first time in your life. Because that’s what we all miss, isn’t it? We all want to belong somewhere, but it never feels right. You always have that itch, that slightly uncomfortable feeling that you could be so much more, if you’d only been somewhere else, with a soulmate who knew everything you’d been through, and never judged any of your actions because it was the only thing you could do at that time. Death Diviner doesn’t provide the answers. The Feverish Trilogy doesn’t provide the answers. But they provide a ”What if?” that might change your life.”
The song was written and composed by David Andersson. The song was recorded at SolnaSound Studios by Thomas Plec Johansson and mixed and mastered by Thomas Plec Johansson in The Panic Room, Skövde. Cello and Piano by Hanna Carlsson, Shaker by Thomas Plec Johansson. René U Valdes produced and directed the music video.
Jimmy Kay from The Metal Voice spoke to Jon Mikl Thor and his band – Guitarist, Kevin Stuart Swain and bassist Ted Andre Jedlicki – on The Metal Voice Facebook live via Zoom on May 27 2020.
Thor talked about his experiences with Kiss and Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider as well talked about his new video single ‘The Rut’
Thor recalls, “Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider Wanted me to train him in New York. I was in tremendous shape at that time in 1984. It was not long before that where I won numerous bodybuilding titles, like Mr Universe, Mr USA and Mr Canada (1973-74). I was still in good shape and we were doing really well in England. BTW Dee is in great shape today.”
The Canadian Metal Avenger Thor releases his fifth single, ‘The Rut’ off his new album Rising via Cleopatra Records Feb 28 2020. This new single is a Video Remix.
The song was co-song written by Thor and Kevin Stuart Swain
Thunder metal pioneers GUARDIAN OF LIGHTNING have revealed a new music video and single for the song “Raise Your Sword”. The intense music video was directed by Victor Yuri with Iron King and was shot on location at Semag Industrial Equipment in Guariba, Brazil. Watch the video right now at this location.
“Raise Your Sword” is the second music video from the band’s debut full-length album Cosmos Tree which will be released on July 17, 2020 via Eclipse Records. The album was produced by Eurico Tavares at Stage Record Power Audio Studio in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Guardian of Lightning are pioneering a new spin on the metal genre known as “thunder metal” which replaces the typical lead guitar role with that of an ultra-heavy, thundering electric bass. Pre-save/Pre-order Cosmos Tree at this location
“Raise Your Sword is a very important song about the deliverance of suffering souls” says lead bassist Iron King. “In these uncertain times, millions of people all over the world are facing unprecedented economic hardship and loss of friends and family due to the pandemic. But even as the future looks difficult, we must know that we have the power to face this evil force. That power also gives us the strength to never surrender and go ahead… we will win this war eventually and there is always a light at the end of the tunnel!”
Cosmos Tree contains nine thundering heavy metal anthems which are destined to usher in a new wave of classic heavy metal with a fresh modern reboot, like a thunderbird roaring across the horizon! With the very first single (which also happens to be the title track), it is easy to hear the lead bass guitar driving the melody which emphasizes a higher meaning of the cosmos… that we are all connected somehow and humanity is the fruit of something much higher than that which our consciousness can comprehend. Other highlights on the album include “Raise Your Sword” which is an anthem of rebellion that we have the power to face negativity to face the world’s evil problems, to never give up and fight for what is right and just! “Sound of Thunder” pays homage to the Thunderbird, a Native American deity which is widely seen as a protector and enforcer of morality.
The band previously revealed a music video for the first single off the album, the title track “Cosmos Tree”. Watch it right now at this location.
