BILLY MORRISON Unveils Lyric Video for ‘We Are the Dead’

Billy Morrison has just released the lyric video for “We Are The Dead,” a standout track from his deluxe edition solo album, The Morrison Project. The album was released through TLG|ZOID / Virgin Music Group.

Morrison commented, “This album was a particularly cathartic one for me and I wanted to find a way to write a love song in a less than traditional way. My life changed in the last few years for the better and I wrote these lyrics in one session like a stream of consciousness – the concept of a love that is so strong, it transcends our human existence appealed to me greatly. I started imagining being dead and being with the person I love for eternity and that seemed to illustrate the strength I was feeling.”

He continued, “‘With your understanding, my world’s expanding’….. it speaks perfectly to gradually feeling like I can shed the defenses and walls that I’ve built up over decades. I am a far from perfect man, but with the kind of love and support I have, my world IS expanding and this song is me screaming that sentiment from the rooftops. The “Dia De Los Muertos” imagery reflects celebration as opposed to mourning, which seemed a perfect visual to accompany such positive and meaningful lyrics.”

Billy Morrison, the British guitarist, singer, and songwriter, has spent the past 15 years as the driving rhythm guitarist alongside Steve Stevens in Billy Idol’s powerhouse lineup. Beyond his long-standing role in Idol’s band, Morrison has carved out a formidable identity of his own in the rock world. His recent collaboration with Ozzy Osbourne and Steve Stevens, “Crack Cocaine,” soared to #1 on the Mediabase Active Rock Chart, while the smash radio hit Gods of Rock N Roll further solidified his place as a powerhouse in the rock world. His latest endeavor, The Morrison Project, is a testament to his collaborative spirit and fearless commitment to creating boundary-breaking music that unites artists and genres in bold, unexpected ways.

STYGIAN to Release “Dreadlands” Debut Album on July 4th

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Italian blackened metal punks STYGIAN will release their debut album “Dreadlands” on July 4th 2025 via Time To Kill Records.

Hailing from Ravenna, the band delivers a searing hybrid of crust punk and extreme metal—tense, raw, and brutally honest, yet layered with dramatic melodic overtones. Their songs are short and punchy, but never rushed, allowing their ideas to unfold with deliberate intensity.

Streaming: https://ffm.to/stygian-death-rite

“‘Death Rite’ delves into the primal instinct for survival and the visceral connection to ancient rituals of power and dominance. Through brutal yet sacred imagery, the lyrics tell the story of a protagonist raised in the wild, devoted to hunting and violence as means of self-assertion. A fateful encounter with a “stranger” becomes the catalyst for a gruesome ritual, culminating in the consumption of the victim’s body and the symbolic assimilation of their strength. The track evokes a vision of primal, instinct-driven humanity—stripped of moral constructs—where the thirst for power and the intimacy of death merge in an uncompromising act of sacrifice”.

Tracklist:

01. Death Rite
02. Endless Hunger
03. You Will Not Survive This Night
04. Runic Ritual
05. Burning Mires
06. Shadow of a Massacre
07. Falling God
08. Unholy Ways
09. Spirit in the Mist
10. Where Dead Men Stand

Preorders:

“Dreadlands” explores the contrast between two spiritual worlds: the harmony-centered pagan traditions and the legacy of Abrahamic religions, which often channel humanity’s most violent instincts. While pagan rites served to express and contain primal forces, maintaining balance between humankind and nature, monotheistic dogmas have frequently justified war and destruction in the name of faith. This work stands as a tribute to life, to the sacred bond between people and the natural world—a bond shattered by centuries of religious conflict.

A powerful fusion of black metal and crust punk, the album is steeped in ritualistic intensity and ferocity, encouraging deep reflection on what has been lost in the struggle between spirituality and imposed doctrine.

For fans of: The Secret, This Gift Is A Curse, Wake, Dödsrit

Line-up:

Emiliano Melandri – Vocals
Mirko Abà – Guitar
Lucio Minghetti – Guitar
Paolo Parmeggiani Lopez – Bass
Rolando Giulio Ferro – Drums

BASK Release Cosmic Cover of The Brian Jonestown Massacre’s ‘Anemone’

After a smoking hot tour with their labelmates and fellow North Carolinians Weedeater, Bask are now ready to turn over a different kind of leaf. The Asheville natives will release their fourth album later this year. But first, the band are looking back at one of their influences. 

“We’ve always been inspired by acts like The Brian Jonestown Massacre”, says guitarist and vocalist Zeb Wright. “They write songs that feel outside of time and place”. 

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the documentary that thrust The Brian Jonestown Massacre into the spotlight, today, Bask are releasing a cover of “Anemone”. The road to get to this point has been much smoother than it was for the shaggy San Franciscan collective, but the heavy dose of Americana that the band bring to this cult classic shows how far they’ve come. 

Stream: https://bask.fanlink.tv/Anemone

Even though they’re separated across coastlines and nearly three decades, Bask and The Brian Jonestown Massacre were in a similar headspace heading into their fourth albums. While partially named after the Rolling Stones’ guitarist, BJM shifted from spaced-out shoegaze to flower-powered ’60s psychedelia on 1996’s Their Satanic Majesties’ Second Request. Bask’s upcoming full-length also ventures into headier pastures, though their cover of that album’s sleeper hit “Anemone” is plucked straight from the band’s Appalachian roots.

“You should be picking me up / Instead you’re dragging me down“, Wright repeats in a dazed drawl while twanging on his banjo. 

Bask haven’t endured nearly the same amount of lineup turnover as their kindred spirits in The Brian Jonestown Massacre. On “Anemone”, Drummer Scott Middleton and bassist Jesse Van Note hold down a bottomless groove that’s as sludgy and free-flowing as a riverbed. But this cover is the first release since Jed Willis joined as the band’s official fifth member. As his pedal steel ripples against Ray Worth’s colorfully swirling leads, the band take cosmic country into a whole new dimension.

“‘Anemone’ is hypnotic in its repetition and perfectly expresses the combination of emotional distress and unbothered cool that to us feels so integral to BJM’s sound and songwriting”, Bask says. “It’s also really fun to play and riff on”.

Hailing from Carolina’s storied Blue Ridge Mountains, Bask came together in the fall of 2013. Guitarist Ray Worth, drummer Scott Middleton, bassist Jesse Van Note and guitarist/vocalist Zeb Wright produce sounds that reflect their lush yet rugged Appalachian habitat.

The band’s upcoming fourth album is an inter-dimensional Western that digs its heels into their trailblazing Heavy Americana by swirling between raw, metallic energy and country twang.

Line-up:
Jesse Van Note – Bass
Scott Middleton – Drums
Ray Worth – Guitar
Zeb Wright – Guitar/Vocals
Jed Willis – Pedal Steel

Guest musicians
Kenny Harrington – Tambourine

Recording studio
Echo Mountain Spring

Production
Produced, Engineered and Mixed by Kenny Harrington and Zeb Wright.

Mastered by Joe Hutchinson at Garage Masters in Nashville, TN

FAIRYLAND Share New Video ‘Karma’ from Upcoming Album

French symphonic power metal band Fairyland are pleased to share their new single and official video “Karma”, taken from their new studio album “The Story Remains”, scheduled for June 13th, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl.

Pre-Order “The Story Remains” HERE

Bassist Willdric Lievin described the new single: “Karma is a song about the type of people who like using others. It’s a song about a selfish, egoistic, self-centered individual who only wants to please himself, without any consideration for other people. His hallmark: empty words, broken promises, words that are not followed by actions. He doesn’t know that by living like this, he hurts people around him. He doesn’t know that “what goes around comes around”. Musically it’s one of the most beautiful gems that Phil Giordana ever made. The majestic, epic, rich orchestrations make this song unique”.

Talking about the new record, Lievin stated: “After the passing of the Fairyland’s founder and mastermind Phil Giordana, we faced the challenge to finish the fifth album. Phil left plenty of material, but it required a lot of further work. It wasn’t easy but in the face of adversity we excelled and managed to complete the album. This, along with a new lineup, starts a new chapter in the history of Fairyland. It continues the symphonic, power metal quality that Fairyland is known for, but we decided to add some new elements to this musical landscape”.

“The Story Remains is richer and more versatile than previous albums, and we are exploring new musical and lyrical territory for the band. We are happy and proud of this new album, and we hope that listening to it will give you a lot of delight. Welcome back to Fairyland”, he continued.

French Symphonic Masters Fairyland are back with the long-awaited album “The Story Remains”. The band is a well-known name in the symphonic metal scene, appreciated and with a specific trademark made of majestic orchestration able to bring the listeners in their fantasy world.

Fairyland was formed in 1998 as Fantasia by Philippe Giordana and Willdric Lievin. Both musicians shared the same passion for epic and symphonic heavy metal. Fantasia recruited guitarist Anthony Parker and entered Wizard Studio in February 2002. During the recording, they found Elisa C. Martin, already known for her work with the power metal band Dark Moor. 

At this time, the band’s name was changed to Fairyland. They signed a contract with NTS (now Replica Records). “Of Wars In Osyrhia” was released in April 2003. Shortly after, the band toured with Sonata Arctica and performed at the Swedish Rock Festival.

The second album “The Fall Of An Empire”, was recorded with: P. Giordana, A. Parker,  Max Leclerqc , Pierre-Emmanuel “Piwee” Desfray and Thomas “Tom” Cesario, and was released in 2006. A European tour with Kamelot and Leaves’ Eyes followed.

After the tour, the band split up. While working on the new material, Philippe decided to use the services of guest musicians for his next album. “Score To A New Beginning” was released in 2009, also marking the return of Willdric Lievin.

The fourth album “Osyrhianta” was released in 2020 (line-up: Philippe Giordana, Willdric Lievin, Francesco Cavalieri, JB Pol, and Sylvain Cohen). 

Philippe Giordana passed away on October 21, 2022. In March 2023 Archie Caine was announced as the band’s new lead singer. In 2024 the line up was completed with Gideon Ricardo, Brieuc De Groof and J.B Pol.

“The Story Remains” perfectly incarnates the band’s trademark sound, and songs like “A New Dawn” or “Karma” are a perfect example of the amazing album that will make every symphonic metal freak’s heart beat with excitement!

“The Story Remains” Tracklist:

1.    Downfall
2.    To Stars And Beyond
3.    Karma
4.    A New Dawn
5.    We Shall Hunt The Sun
6.    Hopeless Still
7.    Samsara
8.    Unity
9.    Council Of The Gods
10.    The Chosen Ones
11.    Unbreakable
