Metal rockers Emergency Rule are thrilled to release the lyric video for their latest single, “Bartender.” The track, a standout from their debut album, “The King of Ithaca,” is now available for viewing on YouTube.

Set against the backdrop of their signature rock ‘n’ roll sound, “Bartender” captures the essence of emotional turmoil with a rebellious edge. The track invites listeners to a cathartic journey through the band’s dynamic and unrestrained musical landscape.

It’s Sabbath with attitude, Down with a swagger, Skynyrd with power. The band’s laid-back vibe is a smokescreen to the musicians’ earth-shaking riffs. Bringing heavy grooves, V8 style booming bass lines, and pounding room-quaking drums, Emergency Rule is a foot-stomping, head-banging rock ‘n’ roll sensation.

They’re a band of gifted musicians with a diverse history featuring Doug Clark (Universum) on bass/vocals, former 63 Stone guitarists Chris George and Cal Wegener, with Travis Dragani (Bruce Kulick, Mike Tramp) on drums.
They have supported acts as prestigious as Corrosion of Conformity, Suicidal Tendencies, Buckcherry, Sasquatch, Dozer, and Hardcore Superstar, and after a few years of teasing us with singles they are about to drop their thumping debut album ‘The King of Ithaca’.

Whether it’s the deal with the devil ‘Snake Eyes’ or the bar room barfly ‘Bartender’, Emergency Rule is a good time, no-nonsense-boogie-grooving infectious vibe. Pull up a chair, get a drink, and roll that dice.

Furthering their current reign as Germany’s most successful metal band, POWERWOLF has finished recording their highly anticipated new studio album! The chart-topping heavy metal force is set to release the successor to their 2021 album, Call Of The Wild, later in 2024 – stay tuned for more information coming soon.

POWERWOLF is currently preparing for their first ever full North American tour, as well as their biggest European tour to date – the Wolfsnächte 2024 – featuring massive arena shows with top-tier production. Tickets are moving fast! Expanding on the experience, POWERWOLF has just added a new French show for October 9 in Nantes, in addition to their nearly sold-out Paris show on October 17. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, Thursday, February 22 at 10:00am CET.

POWERWOLF state:
“The recordings for our NEW ALBUM are officially DONE! Get ready for an absolute BEAST of an album, coming your way later this year! Next up: mixing and mastering! Stay tuned, because this one’s gonna be legendary! “

POWERWOLF has conquered countless stages at the world’s biggest summer festivals, and their most recent Wolfsnächte headline tours (2019, 2022), as well as their highly anticipated North American debut in early 2023, were almost completely sold out – resulting in a massive triumph. They have performed headlining sets at Wacken and Summer Breeze, as well as held premium slots at genre festival giants such as Hellfest, Graspop, Masters of Rock and many more, captivating enormous audiences. No other German metal band has been able to write a success story even remotely comparable in recent years!

POWERWOLF are undoubtedly one of the most celebrated and successful heavy metal bands of the last decade. Multiple #1 album chart entries, Gold and Platinum records, huge sold-out arena shows, as well as headline slots at the biggest festivals have paved their way.

Finnish melodic death/doom metal band The Harbinger released a new single and music video ‘Hollow’. The track is taken from the upcoming Gates of Hell EP which is set to be released later this year via Inverse Records.

The band comments:
“As the veil between dreams and reality are tangled, you descend into a nightmare prison where demons of your own making force you to question your sanity.

Once the gates have been opened they can never truly be closed, and you will be forever bound to horrors of imagination bleeding through to the waking world.”

LISTEN to Hollow on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/the-harbinger-hollow

Composers: Aku Rundberg, Arto Kujala, Markus Nuija, Pasi Perätalo, Sami Karhu
Lyricist: Pasi Perätalo
Artwork by Aku Rundberg, Aku Rundberg Photography. Model: Miia Hyppönen

Mastered by Saku Moilanen, Deep Noise Studios

From the cracks of concrete hell, Kouvola, Finland, rises a new band with beautiful yearning doom metal melodies and crushing death metal riffs.

The band was formed in the cold winter of 2016. After some line up changes and finding their sound, the band released their first EP ”Shadows Dance” in three singles between 2020-2021. ”Dead Ends” EP was released in 2023 and it felt like the band had sharpened their sound and style.

A New EP “Gates of Hell” is set to be released later in 2024 via Inverse Records.

Line-up:
Aku Rundberg – Drums
Arto Kujala – Guitar & backing vocals
Lauri Korhonen – Bass & backing vocals
