Dublin-born, London-based Tayne recently dropped their highly anticipated debut album Love via MNRK Heavy / Inside Job. A fearless fusion of metal, industrial, shoegaze and pop, Love is an electrifying sonic journey that pushes the boundaries of the genre. 

Today, Tayne released a new live video, performing at the South East London recording studio, The Bookhouse.

Love can still be ordered here: https://insidejob.lnk.to/TayneLOVE

Love showcases Tayne at their boldest, blending ferocious energy with genre defying exploration. The album includes ‘Fear‘, anthemic enough for stadiums, featuring a blistering guest appearance from Rolo Tomassi’s James Spence; ‘In This Trend‘, an industrial dancefloor monster that could easily tear through the walls of Berghain; and ‘Wasted’, a brutal, mechanical explosion channelling the raw power of Ministry and Fear Factory, while struggling to find peace in the chaos.

“’Wasted’ is all about lust,” explains Matt. “It’s about getting swept up in those intense feelings, confusing them for something more meaningful, and then stripping it all away to expose the mess it leaves behind.”

Love is co-produced by Tayne & longtime collaborator Wayne Adams (Green Lung, Pet Brick), one of a number of collaborations with artists as diverse as Jesu, Cage Fight, Rolo Tomassi, Mastiff, Katie Kim & Poisonous Birds with Tayne supporting the likes of HEALTH, Author & Punisher and The Dillinger Escape Plan’s Greg Puciato.

Tayne have been announced for 2000 Trees & ArcTanGent festivals alongside fellow countrymen Kneecap, Taking Back Sunday, Rolo Tomassi, The Melvins, Between The Buried And Me, The Fall of Troy & more. 

Tayne are also throwing an unforgettable album release party at Camden’s iconic Black Heart on Wednesday, 5th February, the true home of heavy metal. Celebrate Love with the band as they bring their fierce energy to the stage, while LD’s Kitchen serves up Tayne inspired vegan dishes and custom cocktails to fuel the night. It’s a full-throttle, head-banging event you won’t want to miss.

Catch Tayne on the following dates:
24th Apr: Rough Trade Bristol
29 – 30th May 2025: Supersonic Bloc Party, Paris, FR

SUDDEN DEATH to Release New Album “In Sinner Hate” on May 19th

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 4, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: SUDDEN DEATH. Leave a comment

SUDDEN DEATH‘s fourth album, “In Sinner Hate”, is set for release on May 19th, 2025, via Time To Kill Records.

The title plays phonetically with the word “Incinerate”, but takes on the meaning of “In the sinner’s hate”, reflecting the dark and introspective themes that permeate the entire work. In this new effort, the band delves into concepts such as violence, monotony, loneliness, alienation, respectability, and hardship, while also tackling broader topics like war, pollution, and social isolation, exploring them in their most visceral form.

While maintaining the claustrophobic, minimalist, and massive approach that has always defined SUDDEN DEATH, the new material ventures into more intricate and elaborate directions. The band’s death metal carries a modern edge, yet retains clear nods to the old-school brutality of Cannibal Corpse and Sinister. The guitars intertwine constantly, layering different yet harmonized riffs before reconverging into a single, powerful sonic force, creating a complex and dynamic listening experience.

The album was mixed and mastered by Stefano “Saul” Morabito (Fleshgod Apocalypse, Hour Of Penance, Hideous Divinity), with additional recordings by Marco “Cinghio” Mastrobuono (Hour Of Penance, Shores Of Null) and Giuseppe Orlando (Novembre, Stormlord).

The first single “Human Death Machine” is now streaming HERE.

The band commented: 

“‘Human Death Machine’ is a track whose themes draw inspiration from certain elements of cinematic works such as The Shining, reinterpreted from a more introspective and personal perspective.
The protagonist, suffering from a dissociative disorder, experiences an identity crisis, undergoing what can be described as an authentic and progressive process of rationalizing his emotions. This leads him to a state in which, following the complete annihilation of his emotional side, only cynicism and inner emptiness remain.
His distorted perception of reality drives him to see murder as the only possible solution. As a result, the protagonist transforms from a man into a kind of flesh-and-bone robot—a killing machine, a human death-machine”.

Tracklist:

1. In Sinner Hate (Intro)
2. The Modern Pharisee
3. Destined to Fall
4. The World is Hate
5. Living Corruption
6. The Beast Awakening
7. Channelling Misery
8. The Torture Wheel
9. Acidic Ways of Parity
10. Human Death Machine
11. The Human Demise

Formed in 1997, SUDDEN DEATH are a death metal band hailing from Genzano (Rome). The band’s sound, initially inspired by the rawest old school death-thrash metal waves, slowly and progressively developed into a more brutal style, influenced by Cannibal Corpse and early Deicide. Nowadays the band set forth on a masterclass in technical and claustrophobic death metal with dense and intertwining guitars, sudden tempo and metric changes and more consistent and exasperated vocal parts.

So far the band has released three albums – “Devoured Inside” (self-produced) in 2001, “Injection of Hate” (Deadbang Records) in 2004, and “Monolith of Sorrow” (Killerpool Records) in 2015 – and the EP “Stillborn” (Art Gates Records) in 2018.

SUDDEN DEATH have played several shows throughout the Italian peninsula and around Europe, sharing the stage with important acts such as Suffocation, Gorgoroth, Vader, Napalm Death, Exodus, Dark Tranquility, Possessed, Pestilence and many others.

Line-up:

Luis Maggio – Vocals
Giorgio “Giorgioni” Cifuni – Guitar
Francesca Mancini – Guitar
Giuseppe Ciurleo – Bass
Emanuele Aleo – Drums

W.E.T. Release New Video ‘This House Is On Fire’ from Upcoming Album

International powerhouse rock group W.E.T. share their new single and official video “This House Is On Fire”, taken from their highly anticipated new studio album, “Apex”, set for release on March 28th, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl. 

Pre-order “Apex” HERE

Guitarist Erik Mårtensson commented on the new single: “I am beyond excited to share with you our latest single, “This House Is On Fire”. This song is a true testament to everything WET stands for—high energy, powerful melodies, and outstanding performances from the band members”.

“Once again, I have the pleasure of sharing vocal duties with Jeff, creating a powerful blend that we hope you’ll love. And as a special treat, the track features one of those rare moments where I actually play the guitar solo”, he added. “We’re eager for you to bang your head to this electrifying anthem and can’t wait to hear what you think. Thank you for your incredible support!”

“Apex”, the fifth studio album of the melodic supergroup, is a bold statement in the band’s confidence that they have delivered their best work to date. Eleven tracks full of big choruses and hooky melodies, all served on a platter of smooth heaviness.

The acronym W.E.T. comes from the members’ association with other bands, Robert Säll & Andreas Passmark from Work of Art, Erik Mårtensson & Magnus Henriksson from Eclipse and Jeff Scott Soto from Talisman. And now, for the first time ever, the T is emphasized as Talisman drummer Jamie Borger has joined forces with the band’s original core members.

W.E.T. truly epitomizes what melodic rock has become in the new decade. The key element at the foundation of W.E.T. has always been to create a modern melodic hard rock sound that will drive the genre into the future. Combining powerhouse rhythms and top-notch production (courtesy of Erik Martensson), the music is equally classic and contemporary. 

Although a side project to the members’ original bands, over the course of the band’s existence, W.E.T. have reconvened regularly over the last 15 years to produce four studio albums and a live record.

Starting with a genre-defining self-titled debut, Robert Säll (the “W” from Work of Art), Erik Mårtensson (the “E” from Eclipse), and Jeff Scott Soto (the “T” from Talisman) accepted the daunting task to give that debut a follow-up, “Rise Up”. After that stellar follow-up, their third opus, “Earthrage”, cemented a legacy of music which will stand the test of time. “Retransmission”, their latest album, is nothing else than an absolute milestone, which is well in keeping with the tradition established by the three amazing records that have preceded this one.

Erik Mårtensson says: “It’s always a challenge to find that sweet spot in our calendars when we are all available, not to mention the fact that Jeff lives in California and the rest of us in Sweden.  But I also believe that adds to our ambition once we are able to gather. We are all aware that we don’t get too many shots at this, so when we do we gotta make it count.”

“Apex” Tracklist:

1.    Believer
2.    This House Is On Fire
3.    What Are We Fighting For
4.    Love Conquers All
5.    Where Are The Heroes Now
6.    Breaking Up
7.    Nowhere To Run
8.    Pay Dirt
9.    Pleasure & Pain
10.    Stay Alive
11.    Day By Day

Line Up:
Jeff Scott Soto – Vocals
Erik Mårtensson – Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards
Robert Säll – Guitars, Keyboards
Magnus Henriksson – Guitars
Andreas Passmark – Bass
Jamie Borger – Drums
