HAMMERFALL Release New Single ‘Freedom’

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Hammerfall. Leave a comment

HAMMERFALL will release their 13th studio album Avenge The Fallen on August 9th via Nuclaer Blast.

When it comes to the main focus of the album, frontman Joacim Cans mentions ‘freedom’ and the urge to let anyone be who they want to be. It’s represented in the albums cover, where the bands faithful warrior Hector choses to walk his own path, despite what others tell him to do. Much like HAMMERFALL have and always will do.

As the third single from their highly anticipated album Avenge The Fallen, ‘Freedom’ promises to deliver the high-octane energy and epic storytelling fans crave.

This true HAMMERFALL anthem boasts dark, thunderous backing vocals and an epic guitar solo that will send shivers down your spine.

SERPENTHEIR has released a new video ‘ΠΑΝΘΕΟΣ’, taken from the “Hypernature’s Vines” album. Watch the video below.

Now based back in Gdansk, Serpentheir has since become a collaborative effort rather than a one-man project.

In May 2024, the album ‘Hypernature’s Vines’ was released in full.

You may like it if you listen to: Thy Catafalque, Shade Empire, Samael, Tiamat, Dimmu Borgir, Windir or any kind of genre bending metal rooted in melodic, sympho death/black with strong prog and experimental tendencies.

MINE ROAD Release Fab New Rocker Single ‘American Dream’, New Album Out Now

Posted by metalshockfinland on July 4, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: MINE ROAD. Leave a comment

With considerable radio play across the UK and EU, Irish rockers MINE ROAD have today released their long awaited new studio album ‘Tomorrow’s Sky‘ with an additional single and video, the fabulous, Tom Petty-esque ‘American Dream‘. 

Dublin rock act Mine Road meld their heavy grooving guitar punch with high octane vocal assault as usual but the unit is a far more cohesive songwriting animal in 2024. Full length debut “Tomorrow’s Sky” sees the band reunited and re-energised after several years living abroad. Settling back in Dublin allowed the group to focus on writing and recording together with spectacular results.

“Tomorrows Sky” is the long awaited follow up to their Satellite ep and it does not disappoint. The band toured nationally to test material before entering the studio and settling on 11 tracks that have signature muscle but also weave real emotion into the Mine Road soundscape which makes “Sky” quite the journey. If you want colossal choruses flanked by crushing riffs and huge drums then step into the house of Mine Road where they welcome you in by ripping the door off the hinges, baring their rock’n’roll soul, before burning the place to the ground.

Stories of Love, loss, triumph and heartbreak are told with unwavering honesty, while the Mine Road soundtrack, which is far more Schwarzenegger than film noir, rages gleefully on.

Tomorrow’s Sky tracklisting:
Snowplough
Tightrope
Into the Storm
American Dream
Blood On The Floor
Hold On You
Recall
Tomorrow’s Sky
Reeling
Start To Believe
I’ll be Home

Mine Road are:
Stu Cash – Guitar / Backing Vox
Ken Carthy – Lead Vocals
Dave Flood – Guitars
Steve Cash – Drums / Backing Vox
*Bass performed by former member – Donnacha Neary

Greek Heavy/Power Metal Titans Sirius unveils their electrifying lyric video for the track “Desdichado.” This is just a taste of what’s coming from their upcoming album, “A Quest for Life,” which is set to be unleashed on July 26th via WormHoleDeath Records.

“Desdichado” is a song based on the novel “Ivanhoe” by Sir Walter Scott. It is the story of Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe, who is out of favor with his father for Sir Wilfred’s allegiance to King Richard the Lionheart. It is the first song of many to follow “The Pilgrim” and unfold his journey of betrayal, salvation, and restoration.

Video credits: Chris Anastasopoulos

Sirius, formed in 2007 by guitarist/singer Dimitris Napas in Athens, Greece, released their debut EP “Wings of Fire” on December 2, 2017, with a sold-out show at Remedy Live Club. In August 2019, they released an acoustic version of “The Last Angel” and a studio performance video, followed by an opening for Luke Appleton of Iced Earth. They’ve played at various festivals, including Under The Quarry.

Currently, Sirius is set to release “A Quest for Life” via WormholeDeath Records, featuring Tim “Ripper” Owens and Derek Sherinian. The album’s artwork is by Jon Toussas and Graphic no Jutsu, recorded at Made in Hell studio with David Prudent handling the production.

Sirius is :
Dimitris Napas – Vocals / Lead and Acoustic Guitars
Dimitris Stathopoulos – Rhythm Guitars
Dimitris Simiakos – Bass
Nick “Yngve” Samios – Drums

In August of 2023 while on tour in Europe, heavy psych- and progressive rock masters Elder were invited to record a live session at the legendary BBC Maida Vale Studios for the Radio 1 Rock Show with Dan Carter. The resulting session is a snapshot of the band’s powerful live performance and setlist from that tour. “Live at BBC Maida Vale Studios” will be released on August 30, 2024 through Stickman Records.

“We recorded a few tracks from the live set we had been playing at that time and were very happy with the results – a very ‘live’ sounding version of the tracks, which can be sometimes a bit ambitious to pull off live,“ the band states. “Most folks missed the radio broadcast, so we figured we’d put it to vinyl and CD as well.”

Tracklisting:

  1. Merged In Dreams – Ne Plus Ultra
  2. Lore
  3. Thousand Hands

The limited edition 180gr. tricolor green marbled vinyl will be available only via the Stickman Records webstore. There will also be a standard edition of solid red. The vinyl edition includes a full size poster and download code!

Finnish Thrash Legends BLOODRIDE Issue New Studio Update on Upcoming Album

Posted by metalshockfinland on July 4, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Bloodride. Leave a comment

Finnish thrash legends, BLOODRIDE, are currently entrenched in the crucible of creation, meticulously molding what is destined to be the next monumental chapter in thrash metal history. Their passion ignites the studio as they channel their raw energy and unrivaled skill into their fifth album, promising an unparalleled auditory assault that will redefine the boundaries of thrash metal.

Studio Confessions from the Heart of the Metal Storm – Drummer Petteri Shares Insight:

“Bloodride in the studio 2024; Even more thrashing than slowing down. The recipe is simple; we did it with the ‘trial and error’ method. Recorded some guitars, listened at home, everyone had something to say and then we made adjustments accordingly. Recorded again and had the jury have its say, and repeat. Then vocals and so on. Decisions, decisions, not always easy, but the goal is mutual…
At the time it seems there is some serious headbanging brewing. Be afraid, be very afraid…”

Stay tuned for more updates from the studio as BLOODRIDE continues to craft their next thrash masterpiece.
