Gothmas is coming sooner than you think, and what better way to invoke your favorite holiday spirits than in the embrace of Kap Bambino, as they deliver a pulsating preview of a truly one of a kind holiday album –We Wish You A Merry Gothmas!

Formed in 2001 by Caroline Martial and Orion Bouvier, the French electro duo joined the Cleopatra family in 2023, with a startling cover of Siouxsie’s “Hong Kong Garden.”  

Their own new album will be with us next year, their sixth altogether and their first since 2019. Right now, however, the focus is on those souls who like their stockings fishnet and their Christmases black… a sense shaking sleighride through one of Type O’s own most beloved numbers.

TERAMAZE Release Visualizer Video for ‘Blood of Fools’ (Acoustic Version)

Australian Masters of Artistic Metal TERAMAZE have released a brand new Acoustic version of the track Blood of Fools on Youtube Now.

Teracoustic Sessions Vol 1 is out Oct 10th via Wells Music. Pre-order the album here.

“Blood of Fools is one of the stand outs for the album, being the most naked a song can be for our music. Dean sent this to the rest of the band as a quick audio track he recorded on the couch one night. He almost deleted it but we all convinced him to keep it, as it was such a beautiful and simple rendition of a song that maybe no one thought of as an acoustic track. Blissful and emotional, Dean takes us out of the depths of despair and raises us up into the clouds to enjoy the view.” – Nathan Peachey

Finnish melodic death metal band Defiled Serenity is set to release their long-awaited debut album Within the Slumber of the Mind on February 21st 2025 via Inverse Records. The first single ‘Your Worst Enemy’ is out now and music video produced by Tuomas Saukkonen (Before The Dawn, Wolfheart, Dawn Of Solace) can be seen below.

Vocalist Paavo Laapotti comments:
”We wanted to start with a fiery track with a lot of kick! The song is about an individual, that has been treated like trash for his whole life. Eventually enough is enough, his feelings take over and he seeks for a revenge. He releases his anger towards his bullies and lets them know their worst enemy. ” ”We started making of the album with this song and clearly each musician had a strong vision of the outcome. I think we succeeded in giving it the chaos it needed, both with the song and the music video.”

Posted in: News. Tagged: DD VERNI. Leave a comment

A couple months back we released the latest album, ‘Dreadful Company,’ from VERNI, better known as the solo project of infamous OVERKILL bass player DD Verni. VERNI allows DD the chance to step out and express himself without limitations revealing the depth of talent and influences that make up the legendary musician. On ‘Dreadful Company’ DD wrote all the material, produced, and played all the bass, guitars and sang while enlisting the drumwork of former OVERKILL drummer Jason Bittner (Shadows Fall, Category 7) and guest contributions on specific songs from members of Anthrax, Dope, Symphony X and Angel. We feel it goes without saying this is a fun record, and DD focused on his punk rock roots drawing comparisons from everyone from Ramones, Misfits, Social Distortion to newer acts like Green Day. The songs are immediate, infectious and appealing to both fans of punk and metal.

To further evidence, check out the insanely catchy new video released today for “All You Need To Know” for more proof.

‘Dreadful Company’ is now in stores and online, or order direct https://lnk.to/verni Vinyl variants include the black/white marble or get the limited traditional black vinyl direct, which includes an autographed DD Verni photo.

The album was produced by DD Verni, mixed and mastered by Zeuss (Queensryche, Municipal Waste, Soulfly) with cover artwork designed by Travis Smith (Opeth, Devin Townsend, King Diamond). ‘Dreadful Company’ was preceded by videos for the singles “Lunkhead” https://youtu.be/QrjofHNdtH8 and “Cemetery Safari” https://youtu.be/boQ4ZLUTk70

DD Verni will be back on tour with OVERKILL for a couple months starting Oct. 15th supporting King Diamond. Make sure to get out to one of these great shows, with Night Demon opening, for a killer night of metal.

BILLY MORRISON And LINDA PERRY Release Single + Video for ‘Chasing Shadows’

Iconic rock musicians Billy Morrison and Linda Perry have teamed up to unveil their single and music video, “Chasing Shadows.” This dynamic release is from Billy Morrison’s current solo album, The Morrison Project, available now through TLG | ZOID | Virgin Music Group.

“Usually when someone sends me a song, there’s a lot of changes that are made on my part—melodies, lyrics, arrangements, etc,” says PERRY. “However, when Billy Morrison asked me to sing ‘Chasing Shadows,’ he told me to ‘do whatever I wanted to make it better,’ and to me, there simply wasn’t anything that needed changing. I really loved the demo he sang originally and that’s a sign of a solid song. Billy Morrison is an authentic rock star, in very un-authentic times. I am grateful to play a small part in his world.”

“I’d written a ballad, primarily on keyboards and acoustic guitar, and I had what I hoped was a decent lyric and melody to go with it,” explains MORRISON. “Linda and I go back quite a long way, and I think she has one of the most incredibly powerful and unique voices I’ve ever heard. So, despite knowing that she rarely sings on things like this, I threw a guide vocal down and sent her the song. To my amazement, not only did she agree to sing the song for my record, but she also didn’t feel the need to change anything at all! As a songwriter, to hear this from someone as respected and accomplished as Linda Perry made me feel incredibly honored. Her performance on this track is sublime and emotional and I’m proud to be releasing the song and video to the world.”

This single follows Morrison’s release, “Crack Cocaine,” a riveting collaboration with the legendary Ozzy Osbourne and Steve Stevens that skyrocketed into the nation’s top of the Active Rock Mediabase chart at #1 earlier this year.

STREAM “Chasing Shadows” here: https://ffm.to/chasing-shadows

THE MORRISON PROJECT was produced by Billy Morrison, mixed by Barry Pointer, and mastered by Dave Donnelly. The songs on the album were recorded in Los Angeles at various studios and were written by Billy Morrison in collaboration with his guests.

TLG | ZOID has entered into a strategic alliance with The Label Group and dCommunity, signaling a progressive approach to the evolving music industry landscape and positioning TLG | ZOID as a frontrunner in integrating artist-centric initiatives and fan engagement within the metaverse and blockchain technology.

The British guitarist, singer, and songwriter is primarily known as Billy Idol’s rhythm guitar player for the past 15 years alongside lead guitarist Steve Stevens, has expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership with TLG|ZOID, highlighting the importance of a record deal that respects the artist’s creative freedom and ensures widespread distribution across all platforms. This collaboration not only signifies a forward-thinking move in the music industry but also aligns with the evolving landscape of entertainment, where the integration of digital and virtual spaces is becoming increasingly prevalent.

Posted in: News. Tagged: Drowning Pool. Leave a comment

Drowning Pool, the iconic heavy metal band known for their electrifying performances and chart-topping hits, have premiered their music video on Revolver! The band surprised fans before their show in El Paso, Texas with the new single and filmed the music video.

WATCH it HERE

“There’s a short-list of places Drowning Pool considers home-away-from-home when we’re on the road. Speaking Rock in El Paso, TX. Is certainly one of the elite on that list. It’s like a family reunion from the moment we get there. When plans started getting sorted to shoot a live video and Speaking Rock was on the schedule it was one of those rare moments that the planets aligned. We planned a sort of gorilla-style, surprise video shoot in that we didn’t announce it until the night before/day of and the El Paso DP family did not disappoint. A very cool side-note was that my nephew and some of his fellow soldiers from Ft. Bliss got in on the action as well. I think it’s evident in the video that everyone from Caliber TV captured the energy that Speaking Rock delivers without fail,” shares Mike Luce.

CJ Pierce adds, “We had such a great time filming the video for ‘Revolution The Final Amen’ in El Paso surrounded by our fans up close and personal, face-to-face. It was the first time we performed ‘Revolution The Final Amen’ live, the energy and intensity from the fans was beyond incredible!”

“REVOLUTION (The Final Amen)” released on September 20th via SBG Records, marking a significant moment for the band, as it is their first release with vocalist Ryan McCombs in 13 years! Sirius XM Octane premiered the single on September 19th!

Drowning Pool is thrilled to announce their collaboration with Rollertown Beerworks to brew a special Czech dark lager, aptly named “Revolution,” in honor of the band’s new single. Check them out here: https://linktr.ee/rollertownbeer

Drowning Pool, a name etched in the score of modern rock history, roars back into the spotlight with thunderous energy and uncompromising power. The band’s unmistakable sound, synonymous with raw energy and unapologetic attitude, returns to captivate audiences once again.

Known for their iconic anthem “Bodies,” Drowning Pool needs no introduction. This breakout single propelled them to international recognition, leaving an indelible mark on the nu metal landscape. The song’s relentless energy and defiant spirit resonated with a generation, becoming an anthem for moshers, metalheads, and fans of electrifying live performances.

Ryan McCombs played a pivotal role in the band’s evolution, joining their ranks in the aftermath of the tragic loss of beloved frontman Dave Williams. His powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence breathed new life into Drowning Pool, solidifying their status as metal titans. Songs like “37 Stitches,” “Feel Like I Do,” and “Turn So Cold” catapulted them to new heights, earning them a place among the genre’s heavyweights.

Yet, Drowning Pool’s story is not just about music; it’s a testament to enduring friendships and a shared passion for their craft. Ryan’s return to the band in 2023 marks a reunion of kindred spirits, a return to the roots of their musical journey. As he succinctly puts it, “Just being back in the same room together after so many years… was a quick reminder as to why I considered them to be my best friends in the business back in the day.”

Their path has not been without its challenges. “Bodies” faced misinterpretations and controversy, with its lyrics taken out of context. Nevertheless, their music has persisted, embraced by the very culture that birthed it. “Bodies” remains an enduring anthem, not just for Drowning Pool but for metal culture as a whole. Its legacy lives on, inspiring new generations of fans. Guitarist C.J. Pierce captures the essence of their dedication: “I’d play ‘Bodies’ five times a night if people really wanted it that bad!” The song’s timeless appeal transcends generations, resonating with both the seasoned and the fresh-faced.

Drowning Pool’s return is a testament to the enduring power of their music, a reminder that their unapologetic spirit continues to strike chords with audiences worldwide. The band experienced a triumphant resurgence in 2023 and with new music on the horizon, a 2024/25 calendar proving that the demand for the band isn’t about to slow down.., Drowning Pool has a white knuckle grip on their present and future with no plans to slow down.
