The world tour continues December 7 in Mexico City, Mexico at the Explanada Estadio Azteca before wrapping up December 22 in Santiago, Chile. The North American leg is scheduled to kick off on February 7 in Philadelphia, PA and runs through March 22 where it wraps in the band’s hometown of New York City.
Rockshots Records is proud to release Victoria K‘s reworked debut single “LACUNA” to present to fans “LACUNA XXIV”.
“To everyone who has been with us from the beginning, LACUNA was such an important song in our journey and the beginning of Victoria K!! Thank you to everyone who has loved the original LACUNA so far… get excited for the polished version. I’m happy to share it with you all in a new light. It is truly a blessing!” adds Victoria K.
This re-recorded track is from Victoria K‘s debut album “Essentia” and is part ofthe journey of reflection and evolution, looking forward to a third album in 2025. Known for pushing the boundaries of their sound, Victoria K’s last album, “Kore”, embraced a conceptual approach inspired by Greek mythology. But with the re-releases of “Humanity XXIV” and “Lacuna XXIV”, Victoria K pays tribute to their origins, infusing these tracks with matured skill and spirit. These tracks are only the beginning, marking a new era in Victoria K’s Gothic Metal legacy, following the band’s recent chart-topping success with their “Frozen” cover that reached the top 10 on Metal Contraband charts. As the anticipation builds for the 2025 album, “Lacuna XXIV” is a powerful reminder of their journey from a rising name in the Melbourne metal scene to a band opening for legends like Eluveitie, Blind Guardian, and Katatonia.
The rock ‘n’ soul trio DeWolff have revealed the video for their most personal song to-date in “Let’s Stay Together,” on the day that they release their brand-new studio album ‘Muscle Shoals’ – recorded at the legendary FAME Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, Alabama. The album is released on Mascot Records. You can watch the video for ‘Let’s Stay Together,”HERE.
The gentle and soulful “Let’s Stay Together” is one of the most personal songs Pablo van de Poel has ever written. Talking about it, he says. “It’s the breakup song on the record. That, fortunately, didn’t lead to a breakup. It’s one of the most direct emotional love songs I’ve ever written. In a long relationship you go through rough patches sometimes. I was going through one right around the time we were writing the album, so this one really is very autobiographical.”
They recently revealed the video for single Natural Woman. Set to the backdrop of a vintage animation video, the band talk through the swirling soulful new song, saying, “Natural Woman is another one of these songs that basically wrote itself: the big guitar riff, the verse and the chorus melodies came to us all at once, as if tapped from some kind of ancient rock ‘n roll well. The lyrics are about natural beauty, not having to hide or change to be accepted. There’s satisfaction in imperfection; the plastic dream was a lie.”
Recorded at the world famous FAME and the Muscle Shoals Sound Studios it saw the band embed themselves in the home of Soul. The studios have seen the legendary likes of Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Etta James, Cher, The Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bob Dylan record between the two.
They have already released the album’s opening track “In Love,” which was filmed at FAME. “It’s about if you’re with someone for a long time and you meet someone else, and they really turn your world upside down by challenging the promises you make to your partner when you have a long term relationship. They’re all these things that you want to do. There’s a line that goes ‘tell me babe why can’t we meet, at the dark end of the street,’ which is a reference to Dark End of the Street, written by Muscle Shoals songwriter Dan Penn.”
In May 2024, they travelled to Muscle Shoals to record their 10th studio album between the two studios with Grammy Award-winning producer Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes). “You can really feel some kind of rock ‘n roll magic in the air there,” Pablo adds. “Right when we played our first notes there, I got goosebumps. This definitely was one of the best recording experiences we’ve ever had. Even the grand piano Leon Russell used was still there, just like the electric Wurlitzer piano that was used on “I Never Loved A Man” by Aretha Franklin!”
Over the past 18 months, the enchanting psychedelic soul ‘n’ rollers have preached their Electric Gospel on a cruise, in a castle, sold out countless headline tours across Europe and transformed festival crowds into their own disciples. They’ve toured with The Black Crowes and have previously played shows with Blues Pills, Deep Purple, TOTO, and count Seasick Steve as a fan.
Muscle Shoals, follows their previous #1 studio album Love Death & In Between (2023) and since then they have celebrated a Edison Award nomination (The Dutch Grammy’s), released Live & Outta Sight III, and also received the live music award, the ‘Gouden Notekraker.’ In June 2023, they produced the world’s fastest Studio-to-store record – 2 hours, 59 minutes, and 38 seconds for “Rosita Rápida”, beating the record previously held by Jack White.
Formed in the Netherlands’ Deep South of Geleen as teenagers, Pablo van de Poel (guitar/vocals) and Luka van de Poel (drums/vocals), alongside Robin Piso (Hammond/Wurlitzer), have carved out a place for themselves as carefree adventurers; prolific in the studio and well-worn road-rovers.

With the release of Numbers, his latest collection of originals, Mahoney’s style and passion for composing and performing stand taller than ever. As he states, “With my Numbers record, I approached things very differently from my previous albums…. I really wanted to capture the energy of a live band… to bring the LIVE energy to each composition… to intentionally and purposefully make a ROCK record… to have each track begin and end with the guitar, my constant songwriting partner. To capture what happens when my guitar and I put our heads and hearts together… and bring it ALL out…. and what better way to bring ALL this to life, then to inject into the very grooves of vinyl! A first for me, but it certainly will not be the last….”
