Billy Morrison’s latest release, “Crack Cocaine,” unveils a riveting collaboration with legendary icons Ozzy Osbourne and Steve Stevens. This electrifying track serves as the second single from Morrison’s highly anticipated solo album, The Morrison Project, slated for release on April 19, 2024, via TLG|ZOID / Virgin Music Group.

“Crack Cocaine” features the masterful guitar work of Steve Stevens and was co-written by Billy Morrison, Ozzy Osbourne, and Steve Stevens.

“Watching ‘Crack Cocaine’ get released to the world seems a little like giving birth! This song has held a special place in my heart since the day I wrote it with OZZY and STEVE. We have all nurtured and protected this track for a long while and I cannot thank TLG/ZOID enough for being the midwife! And now it’s out there in the world, running around, invading people’s sound systems and creating rock ‘n’ roll mischief. Perfect!!” says Billy Morrison.

Steve Stevens recalls getting a call from Morrison, “’Hey Steve, fancy having Ozzy and me come round your home studio for a bit of fun?’ says Billy Morrison at the other end of the phone line… Four cups of coffee and a whole lot of laughs later, you now hear ‘Crack Cocaine.’ It’s a song from us Ozzy fans, for Ozzy fans around the world.”

TZARINA Unleash Self Titled Album, Out Now

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 24, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: TZARINA. Leave a comment

The dynamic post-hardcore band Tzarina has unleashed their self-titled album through TLG/Virgin Music Group. Helmed by the visionary songwriter Craig William, this musical saga is a riveting journey that pushes the boundaries of post-hardcore, leaving an indelible mark on the genre.

The sonic landscape of Tzarina’s self-titled album is meticulously crafted, thanks to the combined efforts of Nick Bellmore at Dexters Lab Recording and Craig William at ABQ Studios. The production, engineering, mixing, and mastering was done by Nick Bellmore and reflects a commitment to sonic excellence.

Immerse yourself in the powerful soundscape as Tzarina pushes musical boundaries with their compelling release. The band held their album release show at the iconic Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn, NY on March 20, 2024.

Tracklisting:

SIDE A

  1. SAMSARA PART I
  2. DEADSONG
  3. EMBELLISHED
  4. HORACE
  5. COLLAPSER
  6. BORROWED TIME

SIDE B

  1. SAMSARA PART II
  2. OVERTHROW
  3. CURRENTS
  4. SPLATTER
  5. PRETTY NOOSE
  6. VULTURE & VIOLIN

For songwriter Craig William, the crux of the musical endeavor powered by the band Tzarina has always been to explore the more ethereal themes evident in the mixture of metal, post-rock and post-hardcore genres expressed in their music. This is evident in Tzarina’s trail of singles, which have been seeing their release since October of 2020.

It has been almost two years since the full LP was recorded, so they are slated to release their first complete work later this year. This has been a long-awaited moment for the band, who have been hard at work perfecting their sound and experimenting with various elements of their live performance.

Tzarina is composed of Craig William on vocals and guitar, Mark Ayesh on guitar and backup vocals, Robert Scott Abrams on drums, and Michael Forsyth on bass. With the constraints resulting from the COVID pandemic, the band was forced to have a bit more of a DIY ethic, with William handling the brunt of the songwriting, and recording, while in isolation. This did not stop the rest of the members from contributing where they could and the result is nothing short of a sound that is distinctly their own.

This is a group that takes great pride in its artistry, and it shows in the level of care put into every aspect of its music. It is this dedication that has allowed them to continue to evolve and grow as artists.

They are known for their aggressive live shows juxtaposed with beautifully textured music and thought-provoking lyrics that explore the human experience. With heavy, driving riffs and powerful vocals, Tzarina is poised to become one of the most exciting acts coming up in the Brooklyn area.

Tzarina is a band that is constantly striving to push themselves creatively, and they show no signs of slowing down any time soon. With a new album on the horizon and an ever-growing live show, there is much to be seen and heard from this talented group of musicians. Whether you’re a post-hardcore fan or just appreciate great music in general, Tzarina is definitely a band to keep your eye on.

Scottish PERPETUA Release New Video ‘Resolve’, New Album Out Now

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 24, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: PERPETUA. Leave a comment

Perpetua are a burgeoning metallic force from Scotland that have cultivated a dynamic and unique sound that will quickly catch the attention of the metal community. Their much-anticipated new, full-length album, Resurgence, was released on March 22nd via Seek And Strike, and the band are celebrating with the crushing new video for ‘Resolve’. 

Perpetua state: “This track speaks about the pressures and challenges we face in our darkest times, whilst delivering an ounce of hope as the song breaks through into the chorus/bridge sections. The song itself is a favourite of ours, as musically and technically it ticks all the boxes. It also has some light to shine through on a very dark album, and we believed this would be a great single for that very reason.

“The video for ‘Resolve’ is meant to show the intricacies of self reflection by using the effect of double exposure, seeing yourself within yourself. In a sense it is a visual exploration of knowing how the pieces fit while we are at odds with ourselves trying to move forward from the times before. The broken pieces of us are on display.

“This album is the culmination of all our efforts to create something special. It’s a fresh take on classic metal formulas with a modern twist. We felt that the aggressiveness and depth of the songs really stood out how we imagined. The layered choruses, the fast technical guitars, and the ferocious groove all blended together perfectly. We strived for a more technical and melodic approach in contrast to our previous work. The song structures are now more in-depth and progressively changing. Like the lyrical content, we feel the instrumental aspect of the song itself is very dark and moving.

“We were heavily focused on creating a combination of blistering fast riffs, death metal vocals and soaring chorus hooks. We wanted to write an album as technical and aggressively heavy as we could, and we feel that we reached that. We spent a lot of time digging into song structures, rearranging and making sure we were content with the final outcome of every song. We knew how important our first full-length album was and for that reason it had to be perfect. We hope you enjoy it and thanks for your support.”

1 Resurgence (Intro)
2 Resolve
3 The Hell It Brings
4 Tethered
5 Overcome
6 Human
7 Trapped Mind
8 This Is Retribution
9 Forsaken
10 Alone In The Static

Forming in 2013, Perpetua released their debut EP Resistance in 2016, and second EP To Suffer in 2018, supported by two successful headline UK tours. Supporting as wide a variety of artists as Skindred, Crossfaith, Hacktivist, Perpetua also won Best Metal Act at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards.

INNER SANCTUM Celebrate Album Release with ‘Juggernautic’ Music Video

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: INNER SANCTUM. Leave a comment

Freiburg, Germany -based Death Metal act INNER SANCTUM has unleashed its highly anticipated new album “The Great Odd Ones”. To commemorate the release of their new record, the band has unveiled an intense music video for their latest single, “Juggernautic”. Watch the video below.

INNER SANCTUM about the track and video: “Juggernautic, another Death Metal attack full of steamrolling guitars, a captivating chorus, and an epic hymn-like outro, gets its own music video! It depicts the story of the olden days when the hierarchy of gods was not yet settled. Juggernautic, a false god mockingly referred to by the other gods as the intertidal, tries to claim the throne as the one true God.“

Stream the album HERE

Since their formation in 2004, INNER SANCTUM has been forging a unique path in the Death Metal scene. Combining dynamic death riffs with heavy and heroic parts, the band has created a characteristic and individual sound and with three independently released full-length albums to date and two decades of live experience, INNER SANCTUM has established themselves as a force to be reckoned with.

The band’s brand new concept album “The Great Odd Ones” delves into the eerie realm of sea gods known as “The Great Odd Ones”, weaving a narrative that explores their terrifying influence on our world. Musically it pushes the boundaries of the band’s sound, taking a turn towards a more death metal and heavy focus while skillfully retaining the distinctive roots that define their music. Drawing inspiration from non-related personal experiences encountered by the band members and delving into the realms of Lovecraftian horror fiction, this album immerses listeners in a nautical, dark, and cryptic theme. 

The album was mixed and mastered by Christoph Brandes at the renowned Iguana Studios and self-released by INNER SANCTUM. “The Great Odd Ones” is available for purchase at THIS LOCATION

Tracklist:

  1. Era of the Idols
  2. Abgott Death Kult
  3. Juggernautic
  4. Nautopsy
  5. Mesurol
  6. Thalassophobia
  7. Godfisher
  8. Battlements of Abomination

Much-loved UK modern metal quartet Skarlett Riot return with their third brand new single, ‘Lullaby’, along side a music video for the single, taken from the band’s upcoming NEW album (due 2024).

The band had this to say about their third single: 

“Lullaby expresses the emotions we go through at some point in our lives when we experience the loss of a loved one. We hope you can connect with this track as much as we did when writing it and I hope it brings a smile or two and warmth when you hear the lyrics. Writing these lyrics definitely brought some pretty personal memories back and it helped me to relive those precious moments again through song writing.”
