CASSANDRA’S CROSSING Share New Video ‘Wicked Woman’ from Latest Album

Today, the musical alliance of guitar legend George Lynch and powerhouse singer Casandra Carson shares a new digital single, “Wicked Woman.” The track is from their recently released studio album, ‘Garden of Earthly Delights,’ out via Frontiers Music Srl.

Casandra comments on “Wicked Woman”:

“In a nutshell, ‘Wicked Woman’ encapsulates all the names I’ve been called by my exes at one time or another. When I got the track from George, I was getting these tough, bad-bitch vibes, so when I started writing the lyrics, I took all that ammo, ramped it up to 100, and created this ‘wicked woman’ character who embodied all of those names plus a few more.”

About the song’s music video, Casandra adds:

“It was really hard getting a video done for this project at first, just due to our touring schedules this past year, but all the stars finally aligned on the Final Ride Tour. Adrienne Beacco (Exceleration Media) was on the road with Paralandra during the tour, so we were able to put our heads together and create the concept for this video in just a couple of weeks, and then shot it at the Newton Theatre in NJ one day, just a couple of hours before soundcheck. It’s always a pleasure working with Adrienne; she always gets my vision, and I have to give major props to George for showing up and relearning the song at half speed for this shoot. But beyond all the details, I’m just thrilled that Casandra’s Crossing now has a music video to go along with the album.”

The musical chemistry between these two talented artists has created a magnificent modern hard rock album that showcases Lynch’s trademark riffage driven by the outstanding voice of Casandra Carson, who is set to be the next rock singing sensation.

About ‘Garden of Earthly Delights,’ Casandra also adds:

“It’s a major milestone and accomplishment, not only to have collaborated with a legend like George Lynch, but to have created music that I’m so proud of.

“I wrote the lyrics and melodies of each song without any expectations in mind, other than to serve the music George had written. In doing so, the lyrics are eclectic yet relatable. I truly feel like there’s a song in here for everyone, no matter what genre of music you’re into, and I’m extremely proud of that.”

George Lynch emerged from the ’80s hard rock scene with the L.A.-based group Dokken
and went on to become a world-renowned guitarist. Aside from Dokken, he has also enjoyed great success with LYNCH MOB, the group he founded after leaving DOKKEN.

Lynch has gone on to become a prolific music creator, continuing with Lynch Mob, releasing solo albums, and a wealth of collaborative efforts over the decades. Those include but are not limited to, KXM with Doug Pinnick (King’s X) and Ray Luzier (Korn), The End Machine with Jeff Pilson (Foreigner, ex-Dokken), Mick Brown (ex-Dokken), and Girish Pradhan (Girish & The Chronicles), Sweet & Lynch with Michael Sweet (Stryper), Ultraphonix with Corey Glover (Living Colour), and The Banishment with Joe Haze.

Casandra Carson is best known for her work fronting the Midwestern hard rock band Paralandra. Founded in 2013 with a strong DIY ethic, Paralandra found themselves on radio charts and festival stages in no time and by 2018 had a record deal, national tours supporting the likes of Saliva, Tantric, and Dokken, and even found themselves performing aboard the KISS Kruise! The band remains active and their most recent studio album, produced by the legendary Michael “Elvis” Beskette, came out in April of this year.

WASTE CULT Premiere ‘Ad Astra’ Single from Upcoming Debut Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on May 2, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: WASTE CULT. Leave a comment

WASTE CULT unveil their new single “Ad Astra”, now streaming exclusively as a premiere at Doomed & Stoned. Taken from their upcoming debut album “Blame”, out June 6th, 2025 via Aesthetic Death, the track offers a glimpse into the band’s evolving sound—a brooding, slow-burning journey that blends crushing doom with haunting post-metal textures.

Formed in late 2021 in Bologna’s underground scene, WASTE CULT continue to carve out their own space with music that’s both visceral and atmospheric. “Ad Astra” is a powerful step forward, and a sign of the darkness yet to come.

Stream “Ad Astra” at THIS LOCATION.

Tracklist:

1 – Ad Astra
2 – Delirium Of Manners
3 – Blame
4 – Blended As One
5 – Kerberos
6 – Pictures
7 – The Warmest Shelter
8 – Maze

WASTE CULT started in Bologna – Italy in late 2021, with all members having experience with other punk/thrash metal projects, including Rake-Off, Hyle, Siege Stompers, Call The Cops…

The aim for WASTE CULT has been to create different sounds and atmospheres to those other projects – exploring a slower doomier approach to their sound. In mid 2022 they self-released an eponymous 4-track EP on tape, and on the back of that started playing shows across Italy.

The first full length – “Blame” – is the characterisation of all their different influences, with a more defined identity – taking inspiration from the doom classics to the more modern post-metal sounds. This reality took shape after years experimenting in the practice room, with “Blame” bearing witness to a more introspective and personal approach within both the music and lyrics.

Aesthetic Death has always been a fan of stoner doom sounds and, like many, was schooled on the likes of Kyuss, Monster Magnet and Black Sabbath. Yet, Aesthetic Death has rarely had opportunity to work on any release with bands from these lands of sound.

When first listening to WASTE CULT it instantly resonated. Albums can become a soundtrack to a period of our lives, as an immersive escape alongside all the positive or negative things happening.

Line-up:

Frank – Guitar and vocals
Pilvia – Guitar
Noise – Bass
Claudio – Drums and backing vocals

(Hed) P.E. Release New Single for Police’s ‘Every Breath You Take’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on May 2, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: (Hed) P.E.. Leave a comment

Huntington Beach G-punk pioneers (Hed) P.E. have already released a few singles from their upcoming New and Improved covers collection, including brand new recordings of their own classics “Bartender” and “Raise Hell.”  So we’ve already had the chance to find out if we agree with the record’s title. (The answer, unanimously, is yes!)

This one, however, is the most arresting yet, as the band completely, and brilliantly, up-end one of The Police’s biggest (if creepily stalker-ish) hits, not only as their latest single, but also as the opening track to the album itself. And once you dive into that, you may never want to resurface.

SINGLE: https://orcd.co/hedpe_everybreathyoutake

Whether you lived through the decade or not, we all know what the eighties sounded like – an ineffable potpourri of synthipop, stadium rock, a ska revival and power balladeering, indelibly tattooed upon our brain pans for ever.

But they didn’t sound like this. From AC/DC to Depeche Mode, from UB40 to Cyndi Lauper, and let’s not forget A Flock of Seagulls and Modern English, Jahred Gomes and co pay the hits of the era the greatest tribute imaginable… by taking them back to the drawing board and recasting them in unmistakable, colossal (Hed) PE style.

Gomes says, “Putting a twist on these 80s songs was so magickal for me. Was nostalgic and at the same time futuristic.  We have our own method and vibe for turning these songs into our own thing.  I’m super stoked with how it turned out and i cant wait for people to hear my take on Willie Nelson’s track.  

“I think this record will generate tons of smiles.  

“Thanks everyone!”

New and Improved takes center stage on May 25. And remember. Every breath you take and every move you make, (Hed) P.E. will be watching you.

  1. Every Breath You Take
  2. Just Can’t Get Enough
  3. Always On My Mind
  4. Red Red Wine
  5. I Melt With You
  6. You Shook Me All Night Long
  7. I Ran (So Far Away)
  8. Just A Friend
  9. Time After Time
  10. Back In Black
  11. Bartender
  12. Raise Hell
  13. Raise Hell (Remix)
