HARPYIE release “Herz aus Eisen” feat. Johnny / SOULBOUND , the new single taken from the upcoming studio album “Voodoo” which will be released on 25th October on Metalville Records.
In “Herz aus Eisen” (Heart Of Iron), the front men sing together about the struggle for perfection, the urge to be a perfect person in a seemingly perfect world – and to transcend humanity in the process? To leave it behind? Powerful, gloomy and without morals, the song leaves the listener alone with the question: Is this a good thing?
With a good dose of social criticism, Harpyie conjure up a mix of medieval rock and modern metal, making Soulbound the perfect featuring partner.
Harpyie – the continuously up-and-coming folk metal band from East Westphalia has played its way into the hearts of the German metal community with its authenticity and consistently individual approach. Whether at the Wacken Open Air or the Summerbreeze, the five rebels from Bad Oeynhausen have thrilled the young and genre-breaking target group as well as the traditional metal fans. With their last album, they also made it into the top ranks of the German album charts with a fabulous 34th place – and proved it: Folk metal from Germany is just as suitable for the mainstream. With their new album “Voodoo” they are continuing on this path.
Harpyie invite you to a life-affirming and rebellious ritual of the shadows of our time.

METAL ALLEGIANCE is entering their second decade together, and unlike most other metal supergroups or collaborations, Metal Allegiance continues stronger – and heavier – than ever. Beginning as a celebration of heavy metal, Metal Allegiance is powered by the almost tribal bond shared between the extreme music community’s most revered trailblazers, armed with a list of contributors onstage (and off) that read like a Wikipedia entry on the genre itself –whose “core 4” is comprised of David Ellefson, Mark Menghi, Alex Skolnick, and Mike Portnoy.
On Thursday, January 23, 2025, the band – which in addition to the core 4, will also include Chuck Billy (Testament), Bobby Blitz (Overkill), John Bush (Armored Saint), Doc Coyle (Bad Wolves & God Forbid), Brandon Ellis (The Black Dahlia Murder), Marty Friedman, Gary Holt (Slayer / Exodus), Andreas Kisser (Sepultura), Jeff Loomis, Mark Tornillo (Accept), Angel Vivaldi and more – will perform at what has become an annual event for the band at the House of Blues (400 Disney Way) in Anaheim, CA.
The night will be sponsored by Jackson Guitars, EVH Gear, Charvel Guitars and IK Multimedia and will include direct support from Ottto. Opening the night are Wicked and Lost Legacy.
As with their previous shows, expect a setlist that balances original material with classic covers of metal royalty.
• Early access into the venue • Exclusive pre-show Meet & Greet with members of Metal Allegiance • Personal photograph & autograph signing with members of Metal Allegiance • Collectible show poster (which they’ll happily sign for you) • Official Meet & Greet VIP laminate • Crowd-fee access to the merch booth
While the VIP Meet & Greet Soundcheck package includes:
• Early access into the venue • Ticket to the concert that night • Exclusive “Soundcheck” viewing with Metal Allegiance Crew • Exclusive pre-show Meet & Greet with members of Metal Allegiance • Personal photograph & autograph signing with members of Metal Allegiance • Collectible show poster (which they’ll happily sign for you) • Official Meet & Greet VIP laminate • Crowd-fee access to the merch booth
The Anaheim show from last drew rave reviews from the metal press, including Metal Talk saying, “If you weren’t here, you definitely missed out on probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
Also, the Vinyl District added, “Fans were treated to some of the very best metal has to offer from a supergroup that truly understands what a live musical performance should be. All hail Metal Allegiance!”
And the members of Metal Allegiance are especially looking forward to returning to Anaheim on January 23rd…
“What we have planned for this one might be the most epic. Can’t wait to return to our home away from home.” – Mark Menghi
“It’s that time again! Every year, Metal Allegiance’s annual shindig in Anaheim kicks off the year in true metal fashion and is always one of the coolest metal event of the year… can’t wait to throw down once again in 2025!” – Mike Portnoy
“Earlier this year, MA played our first Anaheim show of the post-pandemic era. It was beyond epic and great to return to House of Blues. It’s hard to believe but it’s already time to announce and plan for MA Anaheim 2025. As always this will be a whole new show with some added twists and a few special surprises. We’ll see you in January!” – Alex Skolnick
“There’s no better way to kick off the new year than throwing down with our friends in the Metal Allegiance neighborhood. Every year seems to get bigger and better… we’ll see you at the show!” – David Ellefson
“It time to kick off the new year and to get together with our friends in Metal Allegiance for our traditional performance during the NAMM show. See you in the pit” – Chuck Billy (Testament)
“Best way to crush our way into 2025? With the world’s foremost epic all star band of all time, Metal Allegiance! Cannot WAIT to jam again with all my friends!” – Gary Holt (Slayer/Exodus)
“It was less than a year ago, that I made my first appearance with Metal Allegiance, to be back with some of the best to ever to do it is an absolute honor. And as good as last year was, the goal is to make this year even better. I can’t wait!” – Doc Coyle (Bad Wolves/God Forbid)
‘It’s that time again, the best and biggest metal jam in the world. I’m so ready for this, miss this vibe and good energy from these metal masters! Cant wait to see you all in January!” – Andreas Kisser (Sepultura)
Swedish Dark Metal trio THE VICE has unveiled a haunting new video for the track ‘Crossing Over’, taken from their latest album “Dead Canary Run” released in January 2024 via Noble Demon.
Directed by Jimmy Johansson, the video serves as a visual manifestation of the track’s unsettling mood, amplifying the raw intensity and brooding atmosphere that define THE VICE‘s distinct sound.
THE VICE about the track: “Crossing Over immediately drags you out of your comfort zone with its eerie groove and the mean pumping bass. Together they convey a very unsettling mood leading up to the ferocious climax. That one last, violent moshpit on the deck of this sinking ship.“
Building upon the foundations set by their previous work – a blend of filthy rock, blackened metal, gothic influences and death-ridden pop – the band’s latest album “Dead Canary Run” takes listeners down a deranged path that THE VICE has masterfully crafted over the years.
With an eclectic mix of genres thriving like never before, the album promises to captivate fans with its raw energy and infectious melodies. While some elements may feel familiar, there are numerous new levels that THE VICE has reached with this new offering. “Dead Canary Run” serves as a testament to the band’s growth since their recent full-length album “White Teeth Rebellion”, showcasing their passion and determination, with their amps cranked up to 11.
“Dead Canary Run” is released via Noble Demon and available for purchase at THIS LOCATION

Canadian rockers Lions in the Street release their new single “Lady Blue” from today. The single is available on Spotify. LISTEN HERE.
“Lady Blue” is the third single taken from the band’s highly anticipated album Moving Along released Friday 8 November 2024. Pre-save the digital edition of the albumHERE. Pre-order the album in CD and vinyl formats HERE.
“Lady Blue would fit comfortably on a Lynyrd Skynyrd or Eagles album,” says Lions in the Street’s vocalist and guitarist, Chris Kinnon. “It’s a classic northern take on a southern rock, a la Neil Young or the Band. It’s a song about regret, with organ swirls, languid vintage guitar tones, and a James Burton-inspired guitar solo setting the tone.”
Comprising the Brothers Kinnon (Chris on vocals and guitar; Jeff on drums), riff-master Sean Casey (guitar), and classically educated bass player Enzo Figliuzzi, the Canadian/California-based band has played with everybody from garage legends like the Dirtbombs to arena stars Kings of Leon, making SXSW best-of lists numerous times, and in between hanging out with the Rolling Stones’ legendary manager Andrew Loog Oldham. But putting integrity first had a cost: obscurity.
Lions in the Street began their career by signing and then walking away from the troubled TVT Records (NIN, Pitbull, Little Jon), Nickelback’s 604 Records (Carly Rae Jepson), and legendary manager Allen Kovac (Motley Crue, The Cars, Blondie, The Bee Gees), earning them a spot on the music industry’s blacklist. Years in the wilderness resulted—working as a garbageman for almost a decade, surviving cancer, serious workplace injuries, and almost deadly car accidents, and going back to school.
Yet, despite experiencing the best and worst of the of old music business—from hanging out with Todd Rundgren, Bob Ezrin, and R.E.M.’s Peter Buck, to seeing an A&R guy almost fired just for going to see them play—the band somehow kept going, releasing music piecemeal.
For example, Lions in the Street released an EP in 2013 on British legend Sandy Roberton’s label. Roberton ran Blue Horizon, the English label that launched the 60s British Blues rock movement with John Mayall, Fleetwood Mac, and Rory Gallagher.
Now the streaming platforms revolution has given Lions in the Street a new life an audience, allowing them to release largely-unheard music—finally finished and remixed/remastered.
LITS’ upcoming album Moving Along captures their trademark swing and swagger. The title track, mixed by Rick Parker (Beck, BRMC, Scott Weiland), is a menacing, harmonica-driven vamp “worthy of Mick and Keith at their sticky fingered best” (Jambase.com). “Moving Along” is also the lead track in the upcoming Paramount film “Cassino In Ischia”, starring Prison Break’s Dominic Purcell.
Never to rest on their laurels, Lions in the Street are also putting the finishing touches on a live album and a record they made with multi-Grammy-Award winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Greta Van Fleet, Brandi Carlile, Rival Sons).
“This is rock with a direct line back to the nasty blues, jump tunes, and country boogie that birthed the whole damn genre. Untamed, direct, and bristling with hairy masculinity, Lions in the Street play rock like the cause it is… that is when you do it right.” – Jambase

Track By Track with Chris Kinnon
Moving Along* Relentless locomotive groove and harmonica with a message of resilience. Getting up after you’re knocked down, again and again. “When I was poor, I was a harder man I tell you. Worked 47 hours a week. But with holes in my shoes, I didn’t have no blues. Now I’m in an awful place.”
*Featured in upcoming Paramount film Cassino in Ischia starring Prison Break’s Dominic Purcell.
Mine Ain’t Yours A fierce rock’n’roller with heart-on-its-sleeve Stones/Rod Stewart and the Faces influences, this song’s about standing up for yourself when people take something that doesn’t belong to them. “That isn’t how you make it. Mine ain’t yours for taking.”
Walking Back To You A southern rock jam a la Allmans, Derek and Dominoes, and Delaney & Bonnie, this is a song about forgiveness. Sometimes people are good to you even when you don’t deserve it. The outro guitar and piano sound like they could have been taken from a lost Layla session.
Gold Pour Down A short, up-tempo rocker with R&B horns over top of a chugging guitar groove, this song encourages people to stay hopeful, faithful, and positive, and to always let the good prevail even when things seem hopeless.
All For Your Love A modern take on Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, this is mid-tempo, minor electric blues rock with edge. A song about both despair and sacrifice.
Lady Blue This wistful ballad would fit on a Skynyrd or Eagles album. A classic northern take on a southern rock, a la Neil Young or the Band. A song about regret, with organ swirls, languid vintage guitar tones, and a James Burton-inspired guitar solo setting the tone.
Waiting On A Woman A saxophone solo over top of a guitar riff that’s all Keef attitude—say no more!
Already Gone A Chuck Berry by-way-of Johnny Thunders stomper, this features a half-time chorus that invokes Rod Stewart and the Faces at their sloppy, countrified best.
Shangri La Vancouver might be the world’s rainiest city. Try spending months in sunny Los Angeles making a record then coming back to 40 straight days of rain in “Shangri-La.” The instant-classic guitar riff that starts the song grows like a ’70 big-block Camaro.
Hey, Hey Arlene Another Chuck Berry and rockabilly-inspired throwback to 50s rock’n’roll, but when you grow up listening to the first Clash album.
Truer Now Pedal steel and acoustic guitars, with a chorus that invokes Zeppelin III influences.
You’re Gonna Lose Hey, you can fight a garbage man, but you’re gonna lose! As mean a guitar riff as anything since the James Gang, and with an outro Albert King-inspired jam that will keep the Cream fans happy!
By the end of this month, on October 26, 2024, Portuguese dark metal pioneers MOONSPELL will play their first-ever symphonic show, entitled Opus Diabolicum, at the MEO Arena, Lisbon, Portugal’s capitol city.
Where the power of the Moonspell metal meets the magnitude of the classic by the Lisbon Sinfonietta Orchestra, one of Portugal finest orchestras, with 45 musicians on stage, conducted by maestro Vasco Pearce de Azevedo, will be streamed worldwide! The show will also be recorded for a future release on DVD/Blu-ray and live album via Napalm Records.
Don’t miss this unforgetable event, where the band will make history, adding a magnificent chapter not only to the band’s own biography, but as well as to the metal music made in Portugal! While the first balcony at their upcoming symphonic show is already sold out and only less than 100 tickets remaining for the Golden Circle, now, you can also enjoy it at the comfort of your own home! Virtual tickets and bundles are available via https://moonspellshop.com
