CoreLeoni present “Standing In The Light” (live version), the first single from the upcoming live album “Alive” which will be released on 27 October by Metalville Records.

 “Standing In The Light” originally comes from the 2019 CoreLeoni success album “II” and reflects in this unique, powerful live version the pure rock & roll quintessence with which the band knows how to thrill the audience in front of the stage at their concerts. The songs on “Alive” were recorded in March 2022 as part of the “Rock Generation Tour 2022” and are the icing on the cake for all fans of the Swiss hard rock heroes.

“These live recordings from our first tour with Gent Bushpepa captured the real essence of Coreleoni!” Leo Leoni

Gotthard founder and guitarist Leo Leoni and his band colleagues present the first CoreLeoni live album to their fans. The songs on “Alive” were recorded in March 2022 as part of the “Rock Generation Tour 2022”.

“Alive” is the pure rock & roll quintessence which combines many of the early Gotthard and current CoreLeoni hits, such as “Standing in The Light”, “Firedance”, “Purple Dynamite”, “Let Life Begin Tonight” and many more.

The band delivers 100% energy and experience on stage. Singer Gent Bushpepa knows how to win over the audience with his unique personality, skills and technique, respectfully interpreting the songs we all love.

Jgor Gianola, former U.D.O and Gotthard guitarist, has turned back time to perfectly adapt to Leo and Gotthard’s unique style. He combines unforgettable memories, musical expertise and sounds that will delight both old and new fans.

Drummer Alex Motta and bassist Mila Merker complete the CoreLeoni sound with unbeatable groove and energy, keeping the band’s engine running in a powerful way.

APOTHEUS Share Music Video for ‘Cogito’, New Album Out October 6th

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 17, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: APOTHEUS. Leave a comment

October 6 will see the release of “Ergo Atlas”, the upcoming full-length record by Portuguese progressive metal act APOTHEUS, which will be coming out via Black Lion Records. In support of the new album, today, the band has released their fourth and final single “Cogito”. The track is accompanied by a music video, which you can watch below.

APOTHEUS comments: “Cogito is a memorable and thought-provoking song that explores the dilemma between living a life of pain or accepting death. It’s the most philosophical song of the album, and its name, taken from the famous philosophical proposition “Cogito ergo sum,” perfectly encapsulates its central theme. The song’s intro is particularly noteworthy, building up gradually and smoothly in a way that is unlike anything the band has done before. As the song progresses, the music becomes more urgent and intense, with a memorable chorus that emphasizes the emotional weight of the lyrics. The vocals are forceful and emotive, capturing the pain and desperation of the philosophical struggle at the heart of the song.“

With nine tracks spanning over 45 minutes, the band’s new album “Ergo Atlas” is a direct sequel to 2019’s critically acclaimed “The Far Star”, and APOTHEUS continue to explore their storytelling universe with the band’s unique blend of melody and experimentation.

Millions of years after “The Far Star” mission took place, an artificial intelligence comes up with an ingenious plan that puts life in the Universe at risk. In this second volume of the saga created in the 2019 album and book, inspired by the work of the science fiction writer Issac Asimov, APOTHEUS introduce new atmospheres and emotions in the nine chapters of the new album, in a roller coaster of melodies, messages and intrigues that will be revealed along with the musical and literary work sequel.

The album was produced by APOTHEUS and Jorge Lopes. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jorge Lopes at Redboxstudios, Portugal. “Ergo Atlas” is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION

“Ergo Atlas” track listing:

  1. Shape and Geometry
  2. The Unification Project
  3. Firewall
  4. Cogito
  5. Ergo Bellum
  6. March to Redemption
  7. Alphae’s Sons
  8. Re: union
  9. Re: genesis

OCTOBER TIDE Release New Single ‘Blodfattig’

In anticipation of their longed for album, “The Cancer Pledge”, Sweden’s death/doom mavericks OCTOBER TIDE unveil what they consider to be its most unique composition. The song “Blodfattig” – which originally appears midway through record – has made its way to all streaming platforms today, and can be embedded via Bandcamp or Spotify, below. “The Cancer Pledge” will be released on October 6th via Agonia.

Listen on Bandcamp: https://agoniarecords.bandcamp.com/track/blodfattig

Listen on Spotify:

“Blodfattig” is the second single to be released off “The Cancer Pledge” and follows “Tapestry Of Our End” – which received an eye-catching animated lyric video, available here for those who’ve missed it. 

”This is perhaps the most extreme song on the album,” comments guitarist Fredrik Norrman (ex-Katatonia, ex-Trees Of Eternity, Thenighttimeproject) on “Blodfattig”. “If ‘Tapestry Of Our End’ is a more traditional October Tide song, then ‘Blodfattig’ is the opposite, with some thrash inspired riffs and an intricate song structure.”

Vocalist Alexander Högbom (ex-Demonical) adds: “Out of October Tide’s whole discography, this must be the track that stands out the most. It really is a unique song and one of my personal favorite of this album. I’m very proud of how it turned out.”

Tracklisting:
1. Peaceful, Quiet, Safe
2. Tapestry of our End
3. Unprecedented Aggression
4. Blodfattig
5. The Cancer Pledge
6. I know why I´m cold
7. Season of Arson
8. Breathe the Water

Formats & pre-orders: https://octobertide.store/

Recent output has seen OCTOBER TIDE tone down on the doom particle, and throw the listener in a colder embrace of a melodic death metal rainstorm. This trend remains consistent on “The Cancer Pledge”, and overlaps with the direction spearheaded by guitarist Fredrik Norrman, keen on rejuvenating OCTOBER TIDE with a touch of the past. “It’s a direct continuation of the previous album,” states Norrman. “Less doom and more death metal, yet melodic and with more layers. I’ve searched for inspiration in records I listened to in the 80’s and 90’s when I grew up. But it still sounds like October Tide.”

The sound of OCTOBER TIDE, aside from being doom intertwined melodeath, is fronted by emotionally compelling guitarwork, known to subside into melancholic and introspective tones. Even though the band has shapeshifted over the years – starting off as a duo of Katatonia fame musicians, FredrikNorrman and Jonas Renske, back in 1994 – it has retained and evolved its trademark formula. The present-day line-up, intact since 2016, features said guitarist & founder Fredrik Norrman, second guitarist & Fredrik‘s brother Mattias Norrman (ex-Katatonia), vocalist Alexander Högbom (ex-Demonical), bassist Johan Jönsegård (Letters From The Colony) and drummer Jonas Sköld (Letters From The Colony / Thenighttimeproject).

“The Cancer Pledge” was recorded and produced in 2023 by OCTOBER TIDE and Karl Daniel Lidén (Bloodbath, Katatonia). The latter mixed and master the album, whose cover artwork was designed by Albin Högbom. 

OCTOBER TIDE will hit the road on the day of album release, commencing the first part of the album-promoting tour in Germany, through Belgium, France, Czech Republic and Poland.

Tour dates:
OCTOBER TIDE – “Cancer Pledge Europa tour – part I”
06.10 DE Berlin – ORWO Haus
07.10 DE Bitterfeld – Festung
08.10 BE Antwerp – Kavka
09.10 FR Paris – Le Klub

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

OVTLIER‘s latest release, “Dead Man Running,” has made its debut on all major music platforms via a distribution partnership with ONErpm. Adding to the excitement, the music video for the song, directed by Tom Flynn, known for his work with acclaimed artists such as All That Remains, Body Count, and 10 Years, is bound to leave a lasting impression.

Tom Flynn’s impressive portfolio indicates his expertise in creating visually stunning and impactful music videos. “Dead Man Running” is both chilling and suspenseful, revolving around a vigilante seeking vengeance for his wife’s murder, exacting a gruesome toll on the perpetrator, one limb at a time.

This dark and riveting story line perfectly complements the song’s theme and promises an intense and visually captivating viewing experience for fans of Ovtlier and music enthusiasts alike. To fully appreciate the artistry behind the song, be sure to stream “Dead Man Running” on your preferred platform and immerse yourself in Tom Flynn’s masterful direction in the accompanying music video.

“Dead Man Running” Stream/Buy at https://onerpm.link/430810015268

“Dead Man Running” is a song about confronting haters, standing your ground, and the inevitable karma that comes around. Ovtlier’s “Dead Man Running” is a powerful self-assertion anthem. The lyrics communicate a message of resilience and defiance against haters, jealousy, and rumors. It speaks to the artist’s unyielding spirit, not losing sleep over fame and its resulting enemies. The song portrays the protagonist as someone who is immune to the negativity and is ready to retaliate, not initiating conflict but always finishing it. The recurring image of “Dead Man Running” symbolizes the futile attempts of those who try to bring him down.

Honing in on a modern sound while consistently setting themselves apart from the mainstream, Ovtlier (pronounced “Outlier”) prides themselves in creating exemplary rock and metal music backed by a rapidly growing fanbase. Ovtlier has earned more than 3 million views of fan-curated content on YouTube and over 3 million streams on Spotify, while capturing the hearts of tens of thousands of followers online. In addition to their loyal fan base, the band has caught attention through achieving features in major media outlets such as Revolver, Loudwire, Alternative Press, Decibel and ABC News.

Continually hitting the Billboard charts, Ovtlier has been able to spread their sound nationwide through constant spins on FM radio and months of regular rotation on SiriusXM Octane– launching them into the forefront of their genre. Ovtlier has had three singles featured on SiriusXM Octane; “Who We Are”, “Buried Me Alive” and “Blame The Dead” have made fans out of satellite radio listeners across the country and emphasizes the band’s ability to stay creative while maintaining an ever-growing fanbase.

Ovtlier brought 2022 to a close with “Living Dead”-bringing the band their biggest success yet. Ovtlier earned a steady average of 1.5 million streams monthly on three streaming platforms (Amazon Music, Spotify and Pandora) alone and saw “Living Dead” become the most played song on SiriusXM Octane. With “Living Dead” behind them, Ovtlier is gearing up to outdo their own personal best with their upcoming release “Heartless”. The track was written by the band’s lead vocalist and founder, Joey Arena, accompanied by Evan McKeever and Julian Comeau (Loveless). “Heartless” owes its production to Justin DeBlieck (Ice Nine Kills, Motionless In White) and Evan McKeever while joining its predecessor as the second single mixed by Chris Dawson (SAUL, Any Given Sin) and mastered by Mike Kalajian (Bad Omens, The Plot In You). With Ovtlier’s dedication and a star-studded team of support behind them, the success of “Heartless” as the band’s most-accomplished single is inevitable.
