June 23, 2023 sees Danish prog-and power metal band, PYRAMAZE, unleash their seventh studio album, entitled Bloodlines, through AFM Records. Following previously-released, first album singles, “Broken Arrow” and “Fortress”, today, PYRAMAZE are premiering a music video for the stunning track “Alliance”, featuring Melissa Bonny (Ad Infinitum, The Dark Side Of The Moon) on guest vocals!

The band comments: “’Alliance’ is Pyramaze’s first collaboration with the ever so talented Melissa Bonny (Ad Infinitum, The Dark Side Of The Moon, Kamelot) and is the bands first true ballad since “The Tides That Won’t Change” from the Contingent album. We are all so honored and humbled that Melissa lent us her amazing talent for this epic collaboration.”

PYRAMAZE are an exceptional phenomenon in the international, heavy music scene: Their sound brings along numerous traditional melodic and progressive metal trademarks, but gets an immensely high recognition value by their unique feeling for great melodies.

They have built a loyal fan base and are considered by both, many metal fans and international music press alike, as one of the most innovative and talented bands of their generation.

Chicago, Illinois based metal outfit REPENTANCE has announced the release of the band’s highly anticipated sophomore full-length record “The Process Of Human Demise”, which will see the light of day on August 4th via Noble Demon.

Today, the band offers the first taste of the album with the single “Withered & Decayed”, a relentless maelstrom of 3:42 min. that sweeps you along! The track is accompanied by none other than Milo Silvestro of the legendary FEAR FACTORY and marks an impressive introduction to the upcoming record. The song is released alongside a brand new music video, which you can watch here:

Guitarist Shaun Glass on “Withered & Decayed”:

“When we started working on the album, we knew we wanted to have another guest.  We were looking for someone that we thought would compliment our style.  Around that time, Fear Factory was close to announcing Milo Silvestro as their new singer.   

I mentioned the idea to Dino (Cazares) who’s a close personal friend and he brought up the idea of seeing if Milo would be interested. We sent over the track.  When he laid down his tracks in his studio, we knew we had what we were looking for.  His style fit really well with Adam (Gilley) our singer and him trading verses and singing together on the choruses.  We hope our friends and fans enjoy the rollercoaster ride it delivers.“

Milo Silvestro about the collaboration:

“I had a blast recording vocals on this banger, it’s heavy, it’s fresh, it’s got the hook and it’s always a real pleasure to work with these gentlemen. Horns up!“

CRAVING Celebrate Record Release Day with Epic ‘Blood Ov Franconia’ Music Video

German epic metal trio, CRAVING, is celebrating the release of their brand new, fourth studio album, entitled “Call Of The Sirens”, with Massacre Records. Out as vinyl, CD, and digital formats, the album is now available HERE!

Building upon the staggering success of their previous album, “By the Storm”, CRAVING continues to awe audiences with their unique fusion of melodic black metal, melodic death metal, and traditional heavy metal epicness on stages of all sizes. This time, the album contains eight catchy to-the-point core songs and two bonus cover songs on the CD version: “Shum” by the Ukranian electro-folk band Go_A and “El Diablo” by Greek singer Elena Tsagrinou. The lyrics on “Call Of The Sirens” feature four different languages: German, English, Russian and Ukrainian. Along several high class guest musicians, the album also welcomes Cradle Of Filth guitarist Marek “Ashok” Šmerda with a solo on the “Gods Don’t Negotiate” track.

To celebrate their new offering in glorious style, CRAVING has just premiered a music video for the final, epic album single “Blood Ov Franconia”, a cultural hommage to the city of Bamberg, Germany!

“Can you survive one second without booze?” Says CRAVING singer & guitarist Ivan Chertov, who currently lives in Bamberg. “Well, the people from the city Bamberg in Bavaria seem not to be able to! The state has over 11 breweries in the city and over 40 in the surrounding area. During a year, one Bambergian is drinking approximately 280 liters of beer, the German average consumption per head is 110 liters.

So come and get wasted with us in Bamberg, the city of pregnant men at the iconic Schlenkerla tavern! This tune follows the more light-hearted yet powerful side of Craving and will be welcome at every Craving show further on! Powerful melodies meet black metal, death metal and a chorus that’s fun to listen to!”

Events in the band’s lives, the world, and in our society, which is more and more striving towards psychopathy, have inspired the band to write “Call Of The Sirens”. The album is metaphorically following the irresistible voices of the sirens, the mythical creatures mentioned in Greek and many other mythologies, which lured people in by seductive behavior and ultimately killed them.

“Call Of The Sirens” was produced by CRAVING and once again mixed by Christoph Brandes at the Iguana Studios (Necrophagist, Finsterforst, The Spirit, Imperium Dekadenz etc.). As always, the cover artwork was created by the band’s long-term friend and designer Andrej Bartulović / All Things Rotten.

Out now on Massacre Records, you can order your copy of “Call Of The Sirens” at THIS LOCATION!

Tracklist:

  1. Mich packt die Wut
  2. Call Of The Sirens
  3. Death March
  4. Maiden Of The Sun (Дева Солнца II)
  5. Blood Ov Franconia
  6. Gods Don’t Negotiate
  7. Prayer For The Rain
  8. Star By Star
  9. El Diablo (Elena Tsagrinou Cover)
  10. Shum (Go_A Cover)

Album Line-Up:
Ivan Chertov – Vocals, Guitars, Orchestrations
Jonas Papmeier – Guitars
Leonid Rubinstein – Session Bass
Wanja Gröger – Drums

CRASHDÏET Release Single ‘Sick Mind (Generation Wild – Album Outtake)’

Go big or go home has been the motivated “catchphrase” for the members of CRASHDÏET ever since they started in early 2000. The band took the rock scene by storm at the beginning of the new millennium with their modern interpretation of the Mötley Crüe and Guns and Roses sound. Thanks to their unique sound and unique style, Crashdïet set new trends in both speakers and wardrobes. In 2010, they released their third album, Generation Wild, and the record became a great success worldwide. The band had the privilege of supporting both Ozzy Osbourne and Mötley Crüe on tour.

Today, Crashdïet surprises their fans with a previously hidden track from Generation Wild. The new single ‘Sick Mind‘ has only been available in Japan, until now! ‘Sick Mind‘ undeniably flirts with the great arena rock bands of the 80s, but also contains punk elements, something that has become characteristic for Crashdïet.

‘Sick Mind’ is out now on all streaming services!
