THE CRAWLING Release New Video Singles ‘Thy Nazarene’ + ‘March of the Worm’

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: THE CRAWLING. Leave a comment

THE CRAWLING are thrilled to announce the release of two captivating video singles, ‘Thy Nazarene’ and ‘March of the Worm’, from their eagerly awaited third album, “All Of This For Nothing.”  The album is set to conquer your senses on August 4th, 2023, courtesy of Grindscene Records. [Pre-order here]

Vocalist/guitarist Andy Clarke shares his insights:

“In the haunting melody of ‘Thy Nazarene,’ we delve into the profound impact of human actions upon one another. It urges us to reflect upon the consequences of our choices, often underestimating the lasting effects they may have. Conversely, ‘March of the Worm’ grants us an intimate glimpse into specific relationships, examining how the behaviours of others can become deeply ingrained within us. The overarching theme of futility gracefully interconnects both tracks, emphasising that regardless of our actions, the ultimate destination remains the same: nothingness.”

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be among the first to experience the musical prowess of “All Of This For Nothing.” Secure your copy by pre-ordering now!

Tracklist:

  1. March of the Worm (5:57)
  2. Thy Nazerene (4:20)
  3. Another Vulture (7:27)
  4. Bound to the Negative (8:12)
  5. A Light We Cannot See (5:20)

PEPSI® Black has named The Warning as ambassadors for its new campaign, “¿A QUE TE SABE PEPSI® BLACK?” This marks the first collaboration between the Monterrey, Mexico hard rock sister-trio and PEPSI®. The campaign cements the band’s status as one of the hottest up-and-coming bands in the music industry. Watch the commercial HERE.

The campaign “¿A QUE TE SABE PEPSI® BLACK?” aims to celebrate those who take risks and break barriers. It’s an invitation to step out of your comfort zone, challenge conventions, and dare to discover new flavors and sensations. The band notably join Mariana Bo as well as Lobo Estepario and RC of the Freestyle Master Series 2023 as brand ambassadors. PEPSI® Black will support the three-piece on the road and with a bevy of content to be revealed soon.

The Warning notably just unleashed the single “MORE”, co-written by the band with Anton Delost (who also produced the track) & Niko Rubio. Listen to “MORE”—HERE & Watch the official music video HERE. Earning widespread critical acclaim from the likes of UPSET, Consequence of Sound, and more, Atwood Magazine exclaimed, “‘MORE’ shows the band branching out sonically, with guitars and cascading harmonies reminiscent of the English rockers, and it all works in their favor, expanding their musical landscape. It’s a fun alt-rock song perfect for summertime.” Genre Is Dead! dubbed it “a raucous anthem.”

The Warning hit the road for the ERROR World Tour in support of “MORE” and their explosive full-length debut album, ERROR, out now via LAVA/Republic Records.

If anybody can usher rock’s comeback along, it’s these three ladies. After exploding online with one viral moment after another, The Warning parlayed this momentum into a series of independent releases, including Escape the Mind EP [2015], XXI Century Blood [2017], and Queen of the Murder Scene [2019] before releasing their latest album ERROR [2022] (Lava/Republic) which amassed 110M+ streams.

Enigmatic black metal masters UADA are now unveiling a brand new single, “The Dark (Winter).” The song is taken from the USBM outfit’s upcoming full-length, ‘Crepuscule Natura,’ which will be released worldwide on September 8, 2023 via Eisenwald. The song can be heard at THIS LOCATION.

The album artwork for ‘Crepuscule Natura’ was created by Kris Verwimp.

Tracklist:

01. The Abyss Gazing Back (07:50)

02. Crepuscule Natura (06:38)

03. The Dark (Winter) (07:31) [LISTEN]

04. Retraversing the Void (07:44) [LISTEN]

05. Through the Wax and Through the Wane (12:03)

Ever since the cloaked Pacific Northwest band appeared on the music radar, UADA has always been electrified by both polar worlds. Their echelon was stark and meaningful. Within the stretch of three albums as well as dense and triumphant live shows across the globe, they have not only spiked the map of extreme metal music but their unrelenting touring schedule and unbridled will to push forward into new horizons has also earned them a reception in all the extremes imaginable, be it worship or spite.

Five sonic vessels form the nucleus of ‘Crepuscule Natura,’ and within it`s 41 minutes, the record easily creates a sonic and aesthetic bridge between the band`s debut, ‘Devoid of Light’ (2016), and their sophomore effort ‘Cult of a Dying Sun’ (2018), only to forge onward upon the relentless path set forth with ‘Djinn’ (2020). Here, a more refined and muscular, yet no less melodic stronghold awaits. On ‘Crepuscule Natura,’ UADA provides all their memorable hooks, tasteful leads, and riding blasts in their distinct style, balancing their epic surging melodies with powerful spurts of aggression. Just like the band’s smoke-heavy shows, the momentum and emphasis of their craft always stays grandiose, mythical, and triumphant – all the while making sure to birth a couple of new fan favorites and soon-to-be staple live songs.

‘Crepuscule Natura’, once again graced by the artwork of legendary Kris Verwimp and photography by Peter Beste, shows UADA on fire to unleash the marrow of black heavy metal.

TRAGEDY Reveal Music Video for Shirley Bassey‘s Classic James Bond Title Track ‘Goldfinger’

New York City tribute masters TRAGEDY recently released their Napalm Records debut, I Am Woman, to the masses! Following fantastic album singles “Venus”, “I’m So Excited” and “I Will Survive” and “She Bop”, today, TRAGEDY are thrilled to reveal a new music video for their reimagination of Shirley Bassey‘s classic James Bond title track “Goldfinger” – just in time for this week‘s kick off of their second UK leg of a massive wold tour!
TRAGEDY comment:
 “Tragedy’s freshest member, Gibbon Ass Freehly, over 400 years younger than the rest of us (he’s from the future…long story), takes the lead here on our twist on this classic Bond theme. We’ll cover you in goosebumps and glitter!”

Director Cara Maria O’Shea’s video was inspired by the original film’s opening credits, which featured movie scenes superimposed over a golden woman in silhouette.  

TRAGEDY had a glitter-encrusted grip on the entertainment world when they emerged in the early 2010’s. Now, following the 2015 breakout viral music video for their cover of Grease’s “You’re The One That I Want” and 2017’s second viral hit, a cover of “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees, TRAGEDY are back with a brand new twist on I Am Woman!

Having introduced their raucous trademark stage show to audiences in the USA, the UK, Germany, France, Switzerland and beyond, and releasing several albums of metalized disco, soft rock and pop covers before even tasting their first viral hit, TRAGEDY proved early on that they were never just your everyday satirical cover band. These six warriors of wacky fully embody the soul of the original and reimagine it from the top down, infusing the tracks with an undeniably infectious energy that can be felt both on stage or on wax. And while their 80s hair metal image would imply that plenty of misbehavior is to be seen on the surface, one only need witness TRAGEDY live a single time to understand that the band’s true overarching message is one of carefree joy, humanity, acceptance and the simple pursuit of a damn good time.

…Shiny costumes, dramatic eye makeup and headbanging hilarity…” – The Village Voice (US)

“Hard riffs, tight white flares, and even tighter octave-scraping harmonies… essential listening” – The Sun (UK)

Order I Am Woman HERE

TRAGEDY will kick off their second leg of UK shows and festivals this week. See below for all tour dates.

21.07.2023 UK, Swansea, Sin City
22.07.2023 UK, Sheffield, Tramlines Festival

Sink me! The notorious pirates YE BANISHED PRIVATEERS offer a precious surprise from their treasury in the form of the brand new, catchy standalone single, “Mates Together”. Fighting side by side and ruling over the seven seas, the Swedish sea-pillagers celebrate an incredible blood bond of 15 years! Rowing through rough seas and salty winds, the track is accompanied by a swashbuckling lyric video and invites fellows to raise their horns to the imaginary journey.

Hauling towards their 15 Years A Privateer summer tour, YE BANISHED PRIVATEERS pull their buccaneers on deck to celebrate their singalong hymns and unmistakably folksy tunes! With furious sets at festivals like Wacken Open Air, they offer honest and energetic folk tunes and foul ramblings to secure their unique position in the genre. These Swedish marauders of the sea take you through the ups and downs of the pirate life!

YE BANISHED PRIVATEERS on “Mates Together”:
“It has been 15 years since our band was founded after a drunken night at a pirate themed floating bar in the middle of our hometown, Umeå. The past decade and a half has been one hell of a ride. To commemorate this anniversary, we wanted to write a song not just for us, but for the pirate community as a whole, and for all of our fans and who have supported us throughout this journey.

Without you, YE BANISHED PRIVATEERS simply would not exist. But thanks to your loyal support, our crew of musicians rolls over 20 pirates deep, and our ship sails across Europe all around the year. ‘Mates Together’ is a song about how life sometimes hits you hard in the back of your head, but if you roll with the punches and sail with the wind, you can discover treasures of undying friendship and bonds that can withstand the hardest storms.”

YE BANISHED PRIVATEERS is catapulting you back to the early 18th century! Inspired by traditional Irish and Scandinavian folk music, the Privateers have lived and acted out the stories of the rough sailor’s life at sea since their founding in 2008. With 20 crew members and records like A Pirate Stole My Christmas (2021) and Hostis Humani Generis (2020), the blood bounded unit plunders and dances to their catchy hymns around the world in the most authentic way. Captivating songs like “You and Me and the Devil Makes Three” and “Gangplank” have racked up over 10 million streams and invite ye to unforgettable singalong nights.
