Coming from the same country that offered Volbeat and D-A-D to the world, SILVERA stands for hard rock with a modern twist and timeless melodies. More than taking the legacy of Denmarks’s rock and metal music, the nordic four-piece started building their own history in 2020 with “Edge Of The World”, the debut album that put them on the map of all modern hard rock lovers. Songs such as “Generation Z” and “Light In Life” immediately took off in streaming services, gathering more than one million hits each and starting the anticipation for Silvera’s sophomore album right there. 

Enter “World Behind Doors”. On their second album, Silvera endeavored to maintain the core elements of their own sound while also expanding the horizons. This led the four-piece to experiment with new techniques, such as incorporating harsh vocals into one of the songs and composing three new tracks in the studio. This departure from their previous approach, where the foundational elements of songs were typically established prior to entering the studio, allowed for a fresh creative process. The result: an even fresher set of songs, taking the best elements of metal rock and everything in between and putting them together to create songs that really stand out. 

“World Behind Doors” will be released on LP (yellow vinyl, limited to 100 copies), digipack CD and digital formats on August 23rd, 2024 via Mighty Music. Pre-orders are available here.

Once again, all the music was meticulously recorded at Hansen Studios, with Jacob Hansen (Anette Olzon, Arch Enemy, Delain, Epica) playing a pivotal role in preserving the essence of the Silvera sound. His guidance in discerning which elements of the songs to emphasize proved invaluable, and his dedication truly shone through in the final product. Additionally, the vocals were expertly recorded at Martin Buus’ studio, where Martin’s skillful production not only enhanced Michael Krogh’s vocal range but also fostered a seamless collaboration between them. The synergy between Martin and Michael exceeded any expectations, resulting in an album that surpassed the band’s initial vision. 

On this album, akin to their first release, Silvera are thrilled to feature collaborations, this time with Dreamshade and Guarnica Mancini from The Gems / Thundermother, all of whom delivered exceptional performances. Their deep understanding of the band’s vision for the songs resulted in interpretations that, once again here, surpassed any expectations. 

“World Behind Doors,” has all it takes to propel Silvera toward new heights and make them step into the next level. If there is any justice left in the music business these days, that’s exactly what will happen.

1. World Beyond Doors

About W.A.S.P.

Few Bands in the history of Rock N’ Roll have ever incited the love, the hate, the raw emotional effect this Band has had on the world. From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live, the Band’s unique style of Shock and Rock caused Religious organizations, Local City Councils, Parliaments, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played.

The band’s founding member, frontman Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for 4 decades.

BODY COUNT Drop Chilling Single ‘Psychopath’ Feat. Joe Bad

Posted by tarjavirmakari on May 29, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Body Count is back with Psychopath – their first new single since 2020’s Bum-Rush, which won a GRAMMY®Award for Best Metal Performance.

The explosive new track, which features Fit for An Autopsy vocalist Joe Bad , shows Ice-T and crew on maximum killing overdrive and primed for the next chapter of the legendary L.A.-based band’s 35+ year career. Longtime collaborator Will Putney (Knocked Loose, The Ghost Inside) produced the song.

Stream the new single here: https://BodyCount.lnk.to/Psychopath-SingleNe

Psychopath is from Body Count’s forthcoming album Merciless, the follow-up to Carnivore, which was released to critical acclaim in March 2020 –  just a week before COVID shut the entire world down. Upon the album’s release, NMEobserved,  “as long as there’s injustice, there’ll be a need for Ice T’s vital brand of hardcore.” REVOLVER marveled, “Death, controversy and changing times could have crushed them. Instead…they’re as strong as ever.”

For Body Count, it’s been a history of being both respected and feared – a barbed-wire thread that stretches back to the band’s origins as a project between Ice-T and Crenshaw High friend, Ernie C. Their first shot fired, the song, Body Count, was a mission statement on Ice-T’s 1991, O.G. – Original Gangster. That’s the blueprint they’ve been running on for 35+ years.

They touched a nerve with their first, self-titled 1991 album and its divisive track, Cop Killer, which inspired hatred, fear, and paranoia, but also inspired generations of bands to follow. What they took from growing up with Black Sabbath and being inspired by fellow L.A. legends like Slayer and Suicidal Tendencies has only upped the ante for generations of homies and hardcore fans.

Body Count’s current line-up includes surviving OG’s Ice, Ernie C. and Sean E Sean joined by bassist Vincent Price, drummer Will “Ill Will” Dorsey, Juan “Juan of the Dead” Garcia and backing vocalist Little Ice.

Electric Callboy add: “Working with BABYMETAL was so much fun. We joined our creative forces and, in the end, we brought together the best of both worlds. We love RATATATA!”

While basking in the success of their latest album TEKKNO, Electric Callboy is also making waves on the live circuit. The band just wrapped a successful run of dates in North America, and now they’re poised to appear at some of the biggest festivals around the world this summer.

NEAERA Unveil Video for “All Is Dust” Album Title Track

German metalcore veterans NEAERA have unveiled a video for latest single, “All is Dust,” the title track of their upcoming new full-length, set for release June 28th via Metal Blade Records.

Comments guitarist Stefan Keller, “‘All Is Dust’ is a brutal bastard of a song that puts on a vile face. In the center of the title track stands the inextricable human dilemma of man’s (ir)relevance in relation to the universe’s impalpable space and time.”

Watch the band’s previously released video for “Pacifier” HERE.

On February 28th, 2020, NEAERA released their seventh album – their eponymous comeback record after a seven-year-hiatus – which caught everyone by surprise. Despite having been well received, the pandemic impeded the band’s long awaited and already scheduled return to the live stages. On February 29th, 2020, NEAERA played a sold-out release show, but it remained the only show for the record in years since Wacken, the Impericon festivals, and other shows were forced to be postponed.

By 2021, the NEAERA collective decided it was time for new material. With a desire to return to an old-school writing approach when songs were composed together in a musty rehearsal room, the band started the writing process. The following year, the band recruited Janosch Rathmer (drummer of longtime friends/German post-rock institution Long Distance Calling) to record their new album, All Is Dust. Mixing and mastering for the record was skillfully executed by Kristian Kohle at Kohlekeller Studios who adorned the songs with a powerful yet organic sound that perfectly fit the band’s vision of their new material and approach.

Lyrically, on All Is Dust, NEAERA has altered their approach a bit and put the individual, its survival, and sanity in these testing times center stage alongside lyrics that tackle global and social clamor – a shift that was arguably pandemic-related.

Notes Fuze Germany in an early review of the record, “unused song structures, surprising twists and lots of depth make the songs a worthy successor to Neaera. All Is Dust is atmospheric, heavy, energetic and old school in the best sense! NEAERA succeeds in the eighth album to find a perfect mix of new ideas and old strengths.”

All Is Dust features cover art by Giannis Nakos of Remedy Art Design (Oceans Of Slumber, Evergrey, Vomitory).

Additionally, a limited album/ticket bundle will be available at Kingsroad and Impericon for an exclusive NEAERA record release show in Münster, Germany on September 14th. Direct support for that show comes from Breakdown Of Sanity.
