Germany’s NEOCRACY have released a new music video for ‘Revenge’, taken from their album “Who To Blame”, released in September 2024. The album is available on bandcamp at https://linktr.ee/neocracy

The band shared:
“More than two years ago, we launched our debut album “Pure Organic” under the name “NEOCRACY”. In our opinion, we have reached many people as an independent band. We received a lot of praise, criticism and also rejection for this. Since music is our great passion and there were many new ideas, we have recorded nine new songs, which we would now like to proudly present to you in the form of our second album “Who To Blame?”. In our opinion, this album is more structured than the first album. With clear female vocals from Franziska and the growls from Tim, it seems very varied to us. So we think that we cannot be pigeonholed or pressed into any existing scheme. Lyrically, we again processed personal experiences, influences and impressions, which are still numerous.”

KINGSPHERE was established at the turn of 2019 and 2020 in Rybnik, Upper Silesia In Poland. Initially, a two-person project, over time it turned into a full-fledged band that is currently actively performing. Kingsphere’s music is a clash of modern metal with old school melodic death metal, and all this is seasoned with a solid dose of electronics. The band has released two self-produced albums: “Enigmatic” (2022) and “Kingsphere” (2021), available in digital distribution on the most popular streaming platforms.

Kingsphere have released a brand new song titled “Rage-Revenge“.

Band comments new song: “Rage-Revenge is all about aggression, speed, and, as always, catchy melodies. It’s definitely the most energetic track compared to the previously released Illusionist and Archetype. Rage-Revenge draws heavy inspiration from classic metalcore sounds of the 2000s-2010s but is supercharged with modern elements and a hefty dose of electronics. This track won’t let you catch your breath“.

Marek Kula is responsible for audio production as well as cover artwork and lyric video.

SEAL’s Band Members Release Dark Remake of 1991 Hit ‘Crazy’

Fresh off the massive Seal 30th Anniversary World Tour, Seal’s backing vocalist Heather St. Marie and guitarist / backing vocalist Mat Dauzat assume their normal roles as Americana power duo Dauzat St. Marie to pay homage to their boss with a dark Southern Soul Americana spin on Seal’s 1991 hit song “Crazy.” In a further nod to Dauzat St. Marie’s storied history, the duo takes an unexpected sharp turn in the bridge, touching on Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” (Mat is also guitarist/backing vocalist for the Prince Of Darkness’s daughter Kelly Osbourne, and Dauzat St. Marie shares over two decades of history with the Osbourne family). 

STREAM “Crazy”

Seal, after discovering Dauzat St. Marie via YouTube performance videos, initially contacted Mat (via FaceTime, in fact!) and invited him to join the band on guitar duties and backing vocals for the Seal 30th Anniversary World tour (Heather would join the band later). Soon after, Seal and Mat made TV appearances as an acoustic duo performing his hit “Kiss From A Rose” on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” and “Good Morning America” as the world tour was getting its start. The 30th Anniversary tour band, which included famed producer of Seal’s records – Trevor Horn – on bass and as Musical Director, also featured Horn’s New Wave band The Buggles (whose music video for their song “Video Killed The Radio Star” was the very first music video to ever air on television) as the opening act. Trevor, having also seen Dauzat St. Marie’s YouTube performance videos, recruited Mat to handle guitar and backing vocals in The Buggles as well. 

During the UK portion of the world tour, Seal invited Heather to join the band as backing vocalist, marking the first time she and Mat had ever been in a band together that was not their own. When the tour wrapped, Dauzat St. Marie embarked on a US arena tour with REO Speedwagon and Rick Springfield, and then immediately entered their studio in Los Angeles to record their version of Seal’s hit “Crazy” which is now available on all streaming platforms!

MONOLIYTH Unleash Official Video for New Single ‘Excised Unborn’

Melbourne’s Death Metal Outfit MONOLIYTH unleashes the official video for the first single, Excised Unborn, off the upcoming album He Who Kills. The band is excited to announce their signing to WormholeDeath Records. The release date for He Who Kills will be announced soon.

The upcoming album, He Who Kills, is based on the dark side of humanity, looking through the eyes of serial killers, as a perspective, and a grim insight into the depraved. The single Excised Unborn sets the tone for what’s to come – heavy, raw, and unapologetic brutal Death metal.

The video drops alongside the single. Guitarist Mick Barr states that the single “delivers everything fans have come to expect from the band, “relentless riffs, crushing vocals, and a dark visual narrative, capturing the sonic massacre that is Monoliyth.”

Formed in 1998 in Melbourne, Australia, Monolyth was founded by guitarist Mick Barr. The intensity and passion for extreme music has remained consistent throughout their catalogue and aggressive live shows. Monoliyth has evolved from classic thrash to a laser-focused brutal death metal ensemble. Injecting Old-School and tech-death elements into the compositions are an integral part of the writing process, a trend that will continue to expand into the band’s future releases.

Monoliyth:
Andrew Parkinson – Vocalist
Mick Barr – Rhythm / Lead Guitars
Zakk Barr – Rhythm / Lead Guitars
Jake Mackin – Bass
Tim Wright – Drums

Swedish rockers Degreed are excited to release the EP “The Leftovers – Volume I”, digitally available now via Frontiers Music Srl. 

The new single and accompanying lyric video, “If It Wasn’t For Me”, are also out now.

Stream/Listen to “The Leftovers – Volume I” HERE

Talking about the new single, vocalist Robin Eriksson said: “I wrote this song on acoustic guitar, years ago. Probably 2017-2018, I think. Then we made an arrangement together in the band, that developed over several years until it became this version. It’s a modern melodic rock/AOR tune. Classic Degreed if you ask me. Great guitar solo by Daniel as well!”

Degreed have been releasing critically acclaimed music since the start of their career with their first album “Life, Love, Loss” in 2010. Over the course of their career, the band has gone from strength to strength with every release, touring and gaining fans all over the world. Their sound mixes classic melodic and hard rock sounds with more contemporary influences, offering the fans a very personal, fresh and exciting mix of great rock music.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the band wasn’t able to tour on the heels of the release of the album “Lost Generation” in 2019. The band released the song “The World We Knew”, their musical summation of the year 2020 (the song became “Track of the Week” at Classic Rock Magazine’s website a week after its release) and then in 2021, Degreed began working on what would ultimately become “Are You Ready”, released in 2022.

The latest Degreed album, “Public Address”, was released on July 7, 2023, and it sees the band delivering on all of the promise of earlier efforts and reaching an absolute premiere moment in their musical creativity. 

“The Leftovers – Volume I” Tracklist:

1. If It Wasn’t For Me
2. Good Enough
3. Love Your Enemy
4. Wildchild (tribute to Alexi Laiho)
5. GET UP!!
6. Hard To Be Human

Line Up:
Robin Eriksson – Bass/Vocals
Mats Eriksson – Drums
Mikael Blanc – Keyboards
Daniel Johansson – Guitars
