TAYNE Stream New Single ‘Fear’, Feat. Rolo Tomassi + Announce Debut Album “Love”

Posted by tarjavirmakari on November 8, 2024

Posted in: News. Tagged: TAYNE. Leave a comment

Hailing from Dublin and now based in London, Tayne have announced the release of their debut album LOVE on 31st January via MNRK / Inside Job. They have also unveiled ‘Fear’, a big and aggressive track channelling a Nine Inch Nails / Boy Harsher vibe, featuring one of the most important UK heavy bands of their generation and labelmates, Rolo Tomassi.

Pre-order LOVE here: https://insidejob.lnk.to/TayneLOVE

Stream the single on all platforms: https://insidejob.lnk.to/TayneFear

“Sonically speaking it’s a track that purely felt like we were serving the song” explains Tayne frontman Matt Sutton. “Fear is self-explanatory. It deals with being afraid, letting fear dominate our choices in life, being consumed by it or letting it win”.

Rolo Tomassi’s James Spence adds: “After my first time seeing and feeling the energy of Tayne’s live show I was immediately a fan. The band combines what I love about heavy and electronic music with visceral, heavy beat driven songs that are still laden with hooks. I was thrilled to be asked to be a part of this track”.

As part of the launch, Tayne will be offering 20 Tayne tattoos to fans to be tattooed by the bands frontman who’s a resident at Kings Cross’ acclaimed tattoo shop Sacred Gold. There will also be an album release party at Camden’s The Black Heart, on Wednesday 5th February.

‘Fear’ is the final video in a trilogy leading the visual narrative throughout the music directed by Leif Johnson, a member of London based video collective NEWD.

Sutton adds, “Act 3 is simple and to the point, empowerment, acceptance and celebration. Fear is such a Big Question song, it pokes the beast but never offers a resolution.

“We just wanted people to embrace themselves “be free” as gaga says and be strong, powerful with no f*cks given to anyone. Thematically I always thought this song could be interpreted as a negative one so I’m really glad the video delivers a more positive answer to the hard question of the track. In this case and very much in my dads case “No” we won’t be consumed by Fear”.

‘Fear’ is co-produced by Tayne and longtime collaborator Wayne Adams (Green Lung, Pet Brick), one of a number of collaborations with artists as diverse as Jesu, Cage Fight, 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 ArcTanGent Festival, the most popular British summer festival for math rock, post rock, progressive metal and experimental music alongside Rolo Tomassi, The Melvins, Between The Buried And Me, The Fall of Troy & more.

Nov 24: UK, London, Victoria – Portals Festival
Dec 13: UK, Brighton, Dust with El Moono
Dec 14: UK, Kingston, Fighting Cocks with El Moono

KORPIKLAANI Release ‘Sauna’ Video & Single

Posted in: News. Tagged: Korpiklaani. Leave a comment

Finnish Folk Metal Superstars KORPIKLAANI have released a video for the song ‘Sauna‘, which is an English version of the first single from their latest album, Rankarumpu.

KORPIKLAANI‘s twelfth studio album Rankarumpu is classic folk metal – fast, energetic and dynamic, showing once again they are the leaders in this genre. The fast paced, violin-driven and playful folk metal tune ‘Sauna‘ is one of the finest examples of KORPIKLAANI‘s staggering virtuosity. With its irresistable lead melody and a chorus for the ages, ‘Sauna‘ should fill any fan of the genre with pure delight.

Samuli Mikkonen (drums) commented:
“We’ve have played ‘Saunaan’ on every show after it was released and it has become a banger! Now it was about time to make an English version so everybody can understand our tribute to Finnish sauna culture. The message is simple:
‘Sauna! To party is not a crime
Your worries will burn like a pine!’“

Italian Rock-Progressive METRONIMIA Release New Single + Concept Video ‘Yanez’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on November 8, 2024

Posted in: News. Tagged: METRONIMIA. Leave a comment

Yanez De Gomera may not be a familiar name to everyone. He’s a character born from the creativity of Emilio Salgari, a Portuguese pirate who follows the infamous Sandokan in his pirate adventures as a brotherly friend. The progressive band METRONIMIA has dedicated their new single to this character, now available on all streaming platforms through Volcano Records & Promotion, and on YouTube with a unique and intriguing concept video.

Formed in 2018 as a tribute band to Jethro Tull, Metronimia delivers a highly personal musical offering, infused with old-school progressive elements revisited with an original touch. In “Yanez”, they maintain their distinctive style with a four-minute track that, through a solid melodic-harmonic structure, appeals both to those who seek constant surprise and shifts in progressive rock and to a broader rock audience with its catchy chorus. Choosing Italian for the lyrics does not hinder the project’s international potential; rather, it opens up opportunities to explore vibrant foreign markets, following in the footsteps of great Italian progressive rock bands from the ‘70s that influenced the evolution of the genre worldwide.

As for “Yanez”, the song makes a strong impression, showing a maturity that belies the youth of the band’s members and promising even greater things from Metronimia in the future.

5. The Fraud [WATCH]
6. Blowing Up

10. The Smell Of Napalm

While many famous American bands display their skills within that style, France’s BLACK BOMB A has been the only official crossover delegation in its country for 23 years.

With 7 albums, 1 EP and 2 live DVDs under the belt, the band built an expanding career around their timeless style. The recipe is easy as ABC: a powerful and groovy rhythm section, ground-shaking riffs, backed by two amazing vocalists: one digging deep into the abyss while the other one is flirting with hysteria.

Black Bomb A played more than 1000 gigs (among which 2 Hellfest shows in 2012 and 2018) which left hordes of fans drained of their blood, and totally devoted to the band. The interchange of energy between Black Bomb A and its audience is one hell of an amazingly contagious live experiment,

The band will be back on October 12, 2018 with a new album produced by Francis Caste, simply titled « Black Bomb A ». Enough said, when the band’s moniker itself is already synonymous with headbutt.

Current Lineup:
Poun – Vocals
Snake – Guitar
Arno – Vocals
Etienne – Bass
Jordan Kiefer Drums

SCULFORGE Return with New Single And Video ‘The Journey’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on November 8, 2024

Posted in: News. Tagged: SCULFORGE. Leave a comment

After a small line-up change, the melodic speed/power metallers from SCULFORGE are back with a new single and video entitled “The Journey”. As of today, the track is available as a digital single on all download and streaming platforms and at the same time in the form of a brand new video clip on YouTube.

New on bass is Felix “The Kerninator” Kern, who makes his musical debut with “The Journey”. The quartet also announced that they are in the middle of working on a follow-up to their 2023 debut “Intergalactic Battle Tunes”, which is due to be released in spring. It will be interesting to see what the four-piece has up their sleeve, “The Journey” certainly whets the appetite for more and suggests that the journey of the intergalactic combo, which includes former members of Midnattsol and Respawn, is far from over.
