Traditional Philly Metal headbangers CORNERS OF SANCTUARY (COS) have announced their recent signing with SODEHRecords.

The new signing with SODEH Records has select tracks from the COS catalog being reissued and a new cover song EP, “Taking Cover,” available digitally through the label on August 1st.

“We are excited about partnering with SODEH Records,” said COS guitarist and founder Mick Michaels. “We are hitting the ground running with the label and plan to have new music out sooner than later.”

“Taking Cover” will contain previously released cover songs including “Rock of Ages,” “Bringing on the Heartbreak,” and “Breaking the Law.” The digital EP will also include two new cover tracks, The Osmonds‘ “Crazy Horses,” and Warrant‘s “Inside Out.”

“It was a lot of fun working on these covers….definitely a learning experience, “said Michaels.”But our thing is original Heavy Metal….so we are going to be getting back to business moving forward.”

Between shows, the band is currently in the studio working on an all new, original EP titled “Metal Up,” which is slated to release later this fall.

COS has also announced the addition of new bass player David St. John to the band’s lineup.

“DSJ has come out swinging. The energy he’s bringing is not only inspirational, it is contagious…definitely a welcomed addition,” Michaels said.

Since the band’s UK tour this past April, Corners of Sanctuary continues to add dates for the remainder of 2023 including their fourth show with SonarFest in August, supporting Sponge again in September, several benefits performances, and opening for the Heavy Metal tribute act Denim and Leather in October and November. See schedule below.

THE SCARLET OPERA Enchant with New Single ‘That Kind Of Woman’

Back with another empowering anthem, the hottest rock band in Los Angeles THE SCARLET OPERA releases a new single entitled “That Kind Of Woman” today via SB Projects/Republic Records. Listen to That Kind Of Woman” HERE.
 
On “That Kind Of Woman,” synths echo underneath a swing drum beat as frontman Luka Bazulka’s animated delivery instantly captivates. Between eruptions of live piano and guitar, he tells a provocative story capped off by the refrain, “She’s that kind of woman, do as she please.” Yet, he also issues a cheeky warning, “Fall in love but you shouldn’t.” As always, it delivers on a promise to expect the unexpected from The Scarlet Opera!

On the song, The Scarlet Opera says, “It’s meant to be as biting as it is frivolous, as commanding as it is careless. ‘That Kind Of Woman’ takes life by the tassels, toying with them like a bored cat. She’s your mother, Hollywood starlet, hottest infatuation, boyfriend, angel, and harlot. She’s within everyone – and she’s ready, even when you aren’t.”

The single lands in the wake of the group’s debut Comedy EP, which features breakout singles “The Place To Be,” “Big City Thing,” “Alive,” and “Riot.” Amassing millions of streams to date, it landed acclaim courtesy of Jezebel, Just Jared, and more. HITS Daily Double proclaimed, “The Scarlet Opera blends classic arena pomp rock, neon-bright ’80s pop and more than a dash of Broadway-style virtuosity into an infectious, gender-blending cocktail that its burgeoning fan base finds utterly intoxicating.”

Hot off a North American tour supporting Ava Max (watch tour recaps HERE & HERE) and electrifying performances at LA Pride In The Park and San Diego Pride, The Scarlet Opera will be unveiling more music very soon.

The Scarlet Opera:
Inspired by the scarlet lettering of the misunderstood and misrepresented- the music, the shows, the glamour are all devoted to the outcasts- to the sexually liberated- those who are divine – ladies and gentlemen and everyone in between – welcome to the opera.

About The Scarlet Opera:
Fusing the grandeur of the theatre with the raw energy of rock and roll, The Scarlet Opera – a five piece band hailing from Los Angeles – offers an escape into the throes of love, lust, glamour, and passion. Formed as ‘Perta’ in 2016 and reborn in 2022, The Scarlet Opera is led by lyricist and frontman Luka Bazulka, whose authentic narrative and vocal prowess are matched only by the musical talents of band members Colin Kenrick [keyboard], Daniel Zuker [bass], Justin Siegal [drums], and Chance Taylor [guitar]. The band’s origins are tied to one fateful night when Colin, upon witnessing Luka perform an inspiring solo vocal set, enlisted long time friends and seasoned musicians Daniel, Chance, and Justin to provide a new dimension to what was already brimming with potential. Word of packed venues and a captivating live show soon drew the attention of SB Projects and Republic Records, who turned to hit songwriter and producer David Stewart [BTS, Jonas Brothers] to collaborate, inspire, and further ignite an already growing fire. With the recent release of their debut EP Comedy, The Scarlet Opera is poised to make their mark.

Finnish Power Metal band Metal De Facto was formed in 2017. In 2019 they released their first album Ancient Rome themed “Imperium Romanum” which got excellent reviews all around the world. Band did some shows in their native Finland, but covid halted further touring. In 2022 their vocalist Mikael Salo had to quit the band for personal reasons and Metal De Facto started looking for a new singer. The search was over quite fast when they found Aitor Arrastia from Spain. His powerful voice fits the band perfectly and his style of singing will remind fans of the great days of first wave of Power Metal. It is time to Make Power Metal Great Again! Again!

DEAD TALKS (Feat. Tomi Joutsen) Release New Single ‘508’

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: DEAD TALKS. Leave a comment

It’s time for the last single from DEAD TALKS before the new album “Veneration Of The Dead” is finally released on August 18th! Get ready for another waltzing death metal monster called “508”!

Watch / Listen here:

Tattarisuo Finland in the 1930s:
A man stole corpses from the cemetery to first dismember them and then bury them in the mud, because he expected a satanic treasure to rise from the dead as a result.

Timeleap – Today:
Based on the case of Tattarisuo, a musical monster arises from the ashes of Corpse Molester Cult to seemingly prove that death is not the end. DEAD TALKS from Lohja (Finland) are ready to unleash their full-length debut “Veneration Of The Dead” full of waltzing midtempo death metal tunes you can’t escape.

The first heavy guitar strums of ‘Son Of The Nameless One’ let a slow bulldozer roll over the listener, leaving behind nothing but wasteland. You have to face ‘The Human Plague’ now, an all-crushing stomper. The horror picks up the pace – but just a little – to make ‘508’ even more hazardous, and it seems like ‘The End Of The Tunnel’ has been reached. But DEAD TALKS live up to their name and make you face a ‘Pedophile God’. Black’n’roll reigns while the hearse is driven by the ‘Death’s Charioteer’. After this ride, it’s getting more atmospheric during ‘Skinless’ before ‘Trigger/Religion’ makes you want to start the whole terror again.

“Veneration of The Dead” by DEAD TALKS will be released via APOSTASY RECORDS on August 18. 2023! Arm your ears for this strike of dread!

Norwegian Desert Rockers SLOMOSA Share Music Video for Brand New Single ‘Cabin Fever’

Since their sudden appearance on the scene with the self-titled debut album in 2020, Norwegian up-and-coming desert rockers SLOMOSA have hit the ground running with relentless tours alongside bands such as Orange Goblin, Sasquatch and Stöner. Now, following their recent signing with Stickman Records, the four-piece has shared a brand new song taken off their upcoming, second full-length, which they recently recorded at Polyfon Studio in their hometown of Bergen!

Just exclusively premiered via The Obelisk, a music video for the crushing laid-back banger, “Cabin Fever”, is now streaming here:

As SLOMOSA singer and guitarist Benjamin Berdous recently said:
“The feel good vibes of our first album were apparent in the music, even though the lyrical themes were more serious and angry, but also in some sense comforting for me personally. Since then more of life has happened and things have gotten more serious, and as always this reflects on the music. It’s still important to me that we continue to offer something fresh in an at times homogeneous genre. Catchy vocal hooks and heavy guitar riffs is our recipe, and we don’t plan to mix up our diets!”
