San Francisco Bay area metalcore band SWEPT TO SEA have just revealed a new music video for their new single “Shards of Your Reflection“, as well as announcing the ability to pre-order their upcoming debut EP album Tides which is scheduled to be released on December 2, 2022 via Eclipse Records. The music video was directed by Pedro Salgado.
“Shards made a lot of sense as our first single” says guitarist Jeno Fox. “The song really captured our different musical tastes in a fun haunting song that had very visual lyrics which we wanted to capture in the video. It took a lot of time to set up the sets in a way that would give the haunted house vibes any justice. In the end, we feel as though we told a really scary story and got the visuals we all thought of when writing the song. In the video you can see all the band members in tattered black clothing, and the ‘ghost’ woman who often appears in the background of the footage, and a ritual scene which ultimately led to the origin of the ghost.” Vocalist Ernest Munoz adds, “If you zoom in close enough on my head, you will see a shard of your reflection hahaha… but yeah it was just too hot up there. At least the huge coolers in the warehouse helped cool us down. The difference in temperatures when we walked up and down the stairs felt like stepping into two different planes of existence.”
Tides by Swept to Sea is a six song EP that draws its influences of the Northern European kind, encountering a massive fist fight with both Groove and American Metalcore. The aftermath of this fistful of Metal is brutal, bludgeoning, and bloody, yet also portrays a variety of emotional states that deliver reality right in one’s face.
On September 30th, U.S. Thrash pioneers AFTERMATH will release a new single ‘No Time To Waste’ for the title track of their upcoming third album. Check out the preview below.
The band announces: “No Time To Waste – words that everyone should live by in their daily lives. But the song is not about that. Rather it’s about all of us together having no time to waste as a free species. Everyone you talk to today says something isn’t right in the world and most can’t point out what it is that makes them feel that way. Their gut tells them something isn’t right. This song is about what we feel isn’t right with the world today and we urge people to wake up before it’s too late. It isn’t about being woke, but being awake. The song is at its core about unity and coming together to defeat our mutual enemy. Every great story has a hero and a villain. We the people are the hero in this song.”
Progressive rock collective CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX will be releasing a brand new album, ‘Banefyre,’ THIS Friday, September 9 via Season of Mist! The band is now streaming the effort in its entirety ahead of its release! Listen at THIS LOCATION.
The band comments on the stream: “Finally after two years of weirdness, we get to unleash our own kind of weirdness on the world. There’s some very dark Magik going on here with ‘Banefyre.’ Things are going to start changing, in ways that people will never know. Strap in and treat this like a film. Start at the beginning and get lost in it until the end. Maximum volume yields maximum results.”
Pre-orders for ‘Banefyre’ are now live HERE while the album can be pre-saved across digital streaming services HERE.

Over the last few years the explosion of artist branded beverages has been incredible, with Gene Simmons MoneyBag™ Sodas leading the way. Talking about the challenges of an artist branded beverage the MoneyBag™ soda team said, “In many instances the artists are not too involved with the product and leave it up to the manufacturers. Gene is personally involved with all aspects of MoneyBag™ sodas business. It is not just putting his name on the product. He has done buyer calls, store appearances, brings customers to Kiss shows, does personal videos for all customers to use on social media, etc. Gene also uses his millions of followers on social media to promote product. He is a great business partner. Launching a non-artist brand is more challenging. It is pretty much up to how much cash you have to market. We have many of great stories to talk about.”
Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, co-founder of KISS and serial entrepreneur Gene Simmons has launched a soda line in cooperation with Niagara Falls, New York-based third generation soda bottlers Paul and John Janik. The Janik brothers’ long time friend and accountant Chris Haick was also brought in to round out this collaboration.
The premium soft drink line, MoneyBag Sodas, is made with all-natural flavors, colors and sweeteners and packaged in eco-friendly glass bottles with painted labels. The flavor portfolio includes cola, diet cola, ginger ale, root beer, and cream soda. A new “blood” orange flavor is currently in development.
Among the retail outlets that have featured MoneyBag™ Sodas are Hy-Vee, Tops Friendly Markets, Wegmans, Rocket Fizz Soda Pop and Candy Shop and 7-Eleven stores.
The collaboration between Simmons and partners Paul Janik Jr., John Janik and Chris Haick, began with a chance meeting at Cleveland’s “Wizard World” convention. The long time KISS fans were in attendance with the hope of meeting their rock Idol, who was a featured guest at the convention. Armed with their vintage posters ready for Simmons’ autograph, John and Paul struck up a soda-centric conversation with the music legend. Simmons asked for their card, and a week later, Paul received a call from Simmons, who said he owned the trademark for the MoneyBag™ image and would be interested in having them create a MoneyBag™ premium soda line.
“Paul and John have an impeccable work ethic, as well as a prowess in the premium soft drink marketplace,” said Simmons. “The incredible flavor profiles they created and collectible packaging will be a crowd pleaser. I am very proud of MoneyBag™ Sodas and excited about my foray into the soda business.”
“We never dreamed it would be possible to work with someone we have idolized for decades. Gene is the ultimate entrepreneur and a very engaged business partner,” said Paul. “We are honored to have had the opportunity to develop such a rock star-worthy product for soda lovers to enjoy and fans to collect.”
MoneyBag™ Sodas are bundled in vintage-style 4-packs with custom crowns. They are manufactured in Niagara Falls, New York, at a single location.
This is soda royalty! If you have expensive taste, drink Moneybag™!
