RAINSWEPT Stream “No Threats Allowed” Debut LP Ahead of Release

Ahead of its release next Monday on the twisted Time To Kill Records roster, No Echo today stream “No Threats Allowed”, the debut LP from Rome hardcore stalwarts RAINSWEPT.

Stream the album at THIS LOCATION.

“No Threats Allowed” tracklist:

01. G.A.F.
02. Word Is Bond
03. Triers
04. Redemption
05. Antidote
06. Diss Days
07. Tide Mind
08. Blank
09. Machete
10. Septic
11. Rainswept
12. Scaffolding
13. The Swamp

The album covers a lot of territory throughout its succinct rampage. Not only does RAINSWEPT deliver the expected classic hardcore sound, the influence from more contemporary styles, along with some metal vibes, pushes its way to the forefront, culminating in the band’s most vicious material yet.

“No Threats Allowed” 
blends various musical tastes from classic NYHC to edgier notes of 90s metal, featuring fast riffs, two-step parts, and breakdowns. Conceptually, it serves as a declaration of intent, a manifesto. Years of sick and toxic social dynamics, both in personal life and even within the music scene, have led the band to feel the need to create a safe space, where the foundation lies in self-reflection and interaction with others. Only by respecting each individual’s mental well-being can there be collective improvement.

For fans of: Madball, Drain, Terror, Incendiary

Preorders:

  • https://rainswept137.bandcamp.com/album/no-threats-allowed
  • https://timetokillrecords.com/collections/rainswept-no-threats-allowed

RAINSWEPT is a hardcore band, established in Rome, from an idea of the drummer Luigi (Coloss/Strength Approach/First Blood/Blvd of Death) who started writing songs in early 2022. Sided by bass player Ale (ex Strength Approach) they began to write arrangements. The duo then recruited Andrea (Second by Default/Murder Spree) on vocals. Eventually, after some changes on guitar, Daniele (Maiali) and Valentino completed the line-up, giving their contribution to the songwriting. 
About six months later the band recorded “Demo 2022” at Till Deaf Recording Studio and then proceeded to film a videoclip for their first single “Tide Mind”, all under the wing of Time To Kill Records. In the following months, they began to play gigs and fests sharing the stage with bands like Slug Gore, Fulci, Drain, Last Wishes, 3ND7R and Internal Bleeding.
After a tour in Germany and Belgium, RAINSWEPT started focusing on the production of their first full-length album.

Line-up:
Andrea – Vocals
Daniele – Guitar
Valentino – Guitar
Alessandro – Bass & Backing Vocals
Luigi – Drums

CRIMSON GLORY Founding Member JEFF LORDS Currently Working on New GODS OF CENTAURUS Album

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: GODS OF CENTAURUS, JEFF LORDS. Leave a comment

Florida-based GODS OF CENTAURUS, (GOC), which morphed out the band Dark Matter, is currently mixing their second effort at Morrisound Recording, Tampa, FL., with Jim Morris at the helm.

The album, entitled “Volition,” is set to be released this Fall with the first single due out mid-Summer. The band’s lineup consists of Paul Beach (lead vocals), John Beach (keyboards and backing vocals), Terry Schambers (guitar), Jeff Lords (bass), and GJ Gosman (drums). Jeff Lords, who is also bassist/co-songwriter and founding member of the prog-metal band, Crimson Glory, supplies the subject matter and concepts around which the band’s songs are composed. Topics include child abuse, martyrdom, self-determination, sensationalism, in conjunction with concepts of the purely abstract.

The new album follows in the wake of their self-titled GOC debut, which featured the single and video “Sleeping Wide Awake,” about the Radium Girls, and how young, female factory workers who painted watch dials during WWI were mysteriously dying, when it was later discovered that the glow in the dark paint that they were using contained trace but deadly amounts of radium.
Song titles for the upcoming album include: Rogue Star, Another Planet’s Hell, Suffer the Cost, Die Martyr Die, which will show that the band are continuing this theme of interesting and thematic lyric writing

Jeff Lords is also currently involved in the resurrection of Crimson Glory with new singer Travis Wills fronting the band, along with Mark “Borgy” Borgmeyer who replaced original guitarist Jon Drenning for an early 2025 release on BraveWords Records.

BETH HART Reveals Beautifully Heartfelt New Single + Lyric Video ‘You Still Got Me’

Posted by metalshockfinland on June 29, 2024

Impassioned singer-songwriter Beth Hart releases her beautiful new single, “You Still Got Me.” The song is released on Provogue / Mascot Label Group and is available on all streaming platforms. You can watch the heartfelt video HERE.
 
The video features footage of Hart interacting with her fans, a connection that is felt deeply in both directions, along with personal footage of Beth and her beloved husband, Scott. 
 
Produced by the legendary Kevin Shirley and recorded in the musical heart of Nashville, TN, the song is a piano-led window into Hart. The enchanting vocals spiral around a gorgeous string arrangement that wouldn’t sound out of place front and centre in a Martin Scorsese movie.
 
The song opens with Beth’s tearful lamenting, “He asked me if I need a hug,  I said I got nothin inside left to love, and then he said, But baby ya still got, baby you still got me,” before the chorus which swirls up to the heavens as she yearns, “There’ll be sweet dreams waiting to come true If you let me in if you ask me to,  Sweet songs that will live on and on, If you let me in, if you ask me to, I will love you strong, but if you can’t get free… You still got me.”

Talking about the song, Beth says, “This is a true story. I had a moment where I wasn’t in a positive mood, and I was hanging out on the couch, crying pretty hard, and Scott said, ‘Hey, do you need a hug?’ I said,  I’ve got nothing inside left to love, and he said, you still got me. I said, hang on a minute; I’ll be right back. I went downstairs and used those words and how he said it. You say something like that, and someone who you love so much says back, but you’ve still got me. It’s true. If I’ve still got him, I’ve still got everything.”
 
“You Still Got Me” follows “Little Heartbreak Girl”, which was released in March. The song came after a period of introspection and recovery for Hart. While facing personal mental health challenges, she has chosen to channel her experiences into her music, offering solace and strength to those who listen. Hart’s decision to share this song is a powerful reminder of music’s ability to heal and unite us, especially in the most challenging times. It’s not only as a testament to Hart’s incredible artistry but also as an offering of appreciation to her fans. The song’s rich, emotive lyrics and Hart’s powerful vocals create an intimate musical experience that resonates with the spirit of perseverance and hope.
 
With a career marked by critical acclaim and countless accolades, Beth Hart has solidified her place as one of the most influential and heartfelt voices in music today. Her journey, marked by triumphs and trials, reflects her relentless dedication to her craft and fans. Hart’s music, infused with her raw, soulful energy, has captivated audiences worldwide, earning her top spots on the Billboard Blues charts and performances at iconic venues like Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome and London’s Royal Albert Hall.

There is an electrifying connection between Beth and her fans, one that’s almost unrivalled. Her ability to touch people with her music and words that cut through straight to the heart means that she lives every word she sings, and fans hang on to each word, living it with her. You Still Got Me offers fans a chance to hold and comfort her as she continues to navigate her journey with grace and courage.

“In Chambers Of Sonic Disgust” is the first release of new music from ILLDISPOSED since 2019. It is definitely not normal to see a gap like this between their releases, but several events slowed down the process. First, the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the music industry and made the band focus on other things for a while. Then guitar player Rasmus Henriksen was diagnosed with brain cancer. Rasmus has now left the band to focus 100% on the treatment. Former guitar player Ken Holst is back in the band, replacing Rasmus. Now, ILLDISPOSED are finally back to show the world how years of crisis and struggle have been transcribed to music. “In Chambers Of Sonic Disgust” is full of anger and frustration, and the most ambitious and creative ILLDISPOSED album – ever!

“In Chambers Of Sonic Disgust” is featuring guest perfomances of Sandie The Lilith (Defacing God), and was mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studio. The album artwork was designed by Timon Kokott of Art-Work.

GOD DETHRONED Release Furious Single & Music Video ‘Rat Kingdom’, New Album “The Judas Paradox” Out September 6th

Four long years after the release of their highly acclaimed album “Illuminati,” Dutch black/death metal icons GOD DETHRONED descend from the shoals of silence with their brand new offering titled “The Judas Paradox,” which is due out on September 6, 2024 through Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM). The hellish Dutchmen don’t beat around the bush and set the bar right away by delivering a fierce statement about the Vatican’s darkest skeletons in the closet with their new single, ‘Rat Kingdom.’

Front-man Henri “The Serpent King” Sattler explains, “This song is about the Vatican and the many secrets that are being kept there, away from the eyes of the world. And he who speaks will disappear in the shadows down below. Musically, it’s a song which starts with a classic pile of melody lines that makes it both hymnic and bombastic, followed by a blast of fury with a black metal vibe and the Serpent King’s very own style of guitar solo – one which stands out from the masses and pays tribute to the late Jeff Hanneman.”

Stream/purchase the track: https://goddethroned.rpm.link/ratkingdomPR

Pre-orders for “The Judas Paradox” can be placed here: https://goddethroned.rpm.link/judasparadoxPR

After ‘Asmodevs’ (2022), which was re-worked for “The Judas Paradox” under the adapted title ‘Asmodeus,’‘Rat Kingdom’ is the second single from GOD DETHRONED‘s upcoming thirteenth studio album. It represents a sonic descent into the very heart of darkness and deceit, where the lines between good and evil are blurred, and the true nature of power is revealed. This brutal and unflinching exploration of the human condition strips away the masks, laying bare the mankind’s true nature.

Eleven songs strong, “The Judas Paradox” was produced by the band themselves, with mixing being handled by their very own singer/guitarist Henri.Tony Lindgren, who previously worked with scene greats such as OPETH, AMORPHIS, ENSLAVED, KATATONIA, KREATOR and SEPULTURA, took over mastering duties at Fascination Street Studios, rounding off the grandly sinister sound of “The Judas Paradox.”

“The Judas Paradox” – Track Listing:

01. The Judas Paradox
02. Rat Kingdom
03. The Hanged Man
04. Black Heart
05. Asmodeus
06. Kashmir Princess
07. Hubris Anorexia
08. The Eye Of Providence
09. Hailing Death
10. Broken Bloodlines
11. War Machine
