International symphonic metal force SIRENIA reveal their third and final new single, entitled “Wintry Heart”! Ranking at the top of their genre for more than 20 years, the band will release their eleventh studio album, 1977, on May 26, 2023 via Napalm Records. Led by mastermind Morten Veland, SIRENIA gathered worldwide press coverage with their previous releases and toured throughout Europe, Latin America, North America, Asia and Australia.
 
Fast-paced new single “Wintry Heart” gives a bittersweet taste of early 90’s vibes, roaring guitars and synth melodies, exploring a new style like never before. The single comes with an exciting performance music video.

Morten Veland on “Wintry Heart”:
‘Wintry Heart’ is a powerful, melodic and more up-tempo song. I also find it to be very energetic – it’s definitely one of the songs on the 1977 album that I really look forward to performing live. The chorus also has a great hook line. I hope you’ll enjoy it!”

Pre-Order 1977 HERE

Captivating album opener “Deadlight” is followed by “Wintry Heart”, and “Nomadic” that represents SIRENIA’s characteristic dark and heavy side as shredding guitar riffs alternate with playful interludes while relentless drums and symphonic electronic elements go hand in hand with one another. “A Thousand Scars” marks a totally new fusion for SIRENIA, as heavy symphonic tunes dressed as remarkable rock riffs and poppy rhythms dance together with the feathery light vocals of Emmanuelle. With the eerie and epic tunes of “Fading to the Deepest Black”, the song is reminiscent of their last album, Riddles, Ruins & Revelations (2021). Kicking off with vertiginous blast beats and a mesmerizing performance by Emmanuelle Zoldan, a warm vocal interlude by Morten Veland supports the song’s stunning atmosphere before it leads into an impressive guitar solo. Following their operatic symphonic highs, the heavy side of SIRENIA is not forgotten and appears especially towards the end of their 11th record.

1977 Tracklist:
1. Deadlight
2. Wintry Heart
3. Nomadic
4. The Setting Darkness
5. A Thousand Scars
6. Fading to the Deepest Black
7. Oceans Away
8. Dopamine

After successfully dropping their second album and label debut, Nightfall, in January 2022, followed by extensive touring with Annisokay, Emil Bulls and Cypecore, German metalcore upstarts SETYØURSAILS aren’t slowing down – offering another special treat with their brand-new standalone single “Best of Me”, out today.  On this intense new offering, the Cologne-based outfit led by vocalist Jules Mitch skillfully balances beautiful melodic and fierce heavy parts, leading to an intense breakdown.

“Best of Me” is underlined via an intense official music video, capturing the song’s essence and attitude in the best way. With a new visual surrounding the song, it also represents the next chapter in the band’s history and keeps the anticipation high for everything that is about to come! “Best of Me” is now available via all streaming services HERE.

ules Mitch on “Best of Me”:   
“With ‘Best of Me’, we herald a new era for SETYØURSAILS. We have once again unconsciously pushed the boundaries of different genres in search of our sound and our soul. We hope that with this single we can get the necks headbanging and the venues shaking.
Same as our last album, Nightfall, ‘Best of Me” also tells of my personal struggle with depression and the daily challenges that come with it. I hope that people can identify with this track and I wish everyone who struggles with mental health a lot of strength and power!

Love,
Jules”

SETYØURSAILS about their latest album, Nightfall:       
“This album is the most honestly written work we could get out of ourselves. It reflects the struggle of dealing with oneself, fear and life itself. It’s dark, it’s loud and it hurts. But most importantly- it’s true.”

“Buried in Autumn” is the second single and official video from TIMECHILD’s upcoming sophomore album “Blossom & Plague”. The song shows the band from a darker and more personal side than on previous releases and is written about the members’ own experiences of saying goodbye to both their own addictions and to loved ones who never managed to escape theirs.

Today Metal Shock Finland has a pleasure to premiere “Buried In Autumn” official video for Finland, join and enjoy it below:

Timechild is a Danish progressive, heavy rock band formed in 2020 in Copenhagen. Their sound consists of a mixture of progressive rock and heavy metal, dominated by a powerful lead vocal and characteristic twin guitars, which together create their unique Scandinavian expression.

Top reviews from both Danish and international media, Danish tours with Jesper Binzer (DAD), Thundermother and Artillery, concerts at some of the biggest club venues and rock and metal festivals in Denmark. And in 2023, the band will cross the country’s borders for the first time to go on their first EU and UK tours.

TEETH Release Video Visualizer for ‘Drip’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on May 25, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

The volatile powerhouse that is Ontario, Canada’s hardcore/metal quintet TEETH have emerged from the sludge of a foul generation – a vessel whose sole purpose is to create the most assailing, aggressive music imaginable. Born from illegal back-alley shows that resulted in literal fires, TEETH has come off a string of sold-out – and absolutely vicious – headliners while independently amassing over 1 million streams, gaining recognition from metal titans SLIPKNOT and deathcore innovators EMMURE. TEETH is just getting started, and they’re playing for keeps.  

Today, TEETH announce they are hitting the road for “The Biblical Worship Of Violence” Canadian tour with Boston hardcore band GREAT AMERICAN GHOST. The 11-trek will kick off on July 21st in Hamilton and will make stops in Windsor and Montreal before concluding in Barrie on August 8th.

For more information on the tour or to purchase tickets visit: https://linktr.ee/teethnoise

Confirmed dates for TEETH’s “The Biblical Worship Of Violence” Canadian tour are:
07/21/2023  Hamilton – Corktown (no Great American Ghost)
07/28/2023  Toronto – Sneaky Dee’s
07/29/2023. St. Catherines – Warehouse
07/30/2023. London – Rum Runners
08/01/2023. Windsor – Chelsea Underground
08/02/2023  Cambridge – Rhythm & Brews
08/04/2023  Ottawa – House of Targ
08/05/2023  Montreal – Cabaret Foufounes
08/06/2023  Quebec City – L’Anti
08/07/2023  Kinston – The Mansion
08/08/2023  Barrie – Queens Nightclub

The band also dropped the video visualizer for the track ‘Drip’. Check it out here:

A Biblical Worship of Violence was recorded at Bell Tower Studios – directly across the river from Buffalo, NY – home to hardcore juggernauts EVERY TIME I DIE. Davis Maxwell and the band were responsible for producing and engineering the record while Lance Prenc (ALPHA WOLF, POLARIS, VOID OF VISION) handled mixing and mastering. The album art/layout was created by Heavy Sleeper Co. 

The band states, “A Biblical Worship Of Violence is our ode to the ache of change – a snapshot of a moment in time where we were all going through dark shifts in our personal lives that forced us to see life through the lens of true pain and discomfort. We knew we needed to create something so visceral and honest to articulate what we’d been going through while also giving us the opportunity to speak on the state of this world. Division, compulsion – an intrinsic gravitational pull toward cruelty and brutality. ABWOV is a commentary on human beings darkest, most volatile conventions.”

A Biblical Worship Of Violence will be available as a red with black splatter vinyl on July 21st!

MACHINE HEAD Release ‘Arrøws In Wørds Frøm The Sky’ Music Video

Last year, Bay Area metal icons MACHINE HEAD unleashed their incendiary 10th studio album, ØF KINGDØM AND CRØWN. Today, the band releases the music video for the track ‘ARRØWS IN WØRDS FRØM THE SKY’. Directed by Jon (Jern) Watson and edited by Mike Sloat, the mobile-friendly video features live footage from the band’s 2022 U.S. and European tours.

Watch the mobile-friendly music video for ‘ARRØWS IN WØRDS FRØM THE SKY’, here:

MACHINE HEAD’s Robb Flynn comments: “The last few videos have been very artistic and thematic continuing the black & white scope of the concept record. For this we just wanted to have an old school, 90’s style live video, that is more or less a tribute to our absolutely insane fans (the Head Cases) going bat shit crazy, mixed with some good ol’ life-on-the-road-getting-hammered-backstage-vibe. Enjoy!”
