ROYAL HUNT have announced the EDM release of one of their most popular songs ‘Half Past Loneliness’, coming out on the New Year’s Eve.

Message from the band: 

“Hey all, New Year’s Eve is just around the corner– party time, anyone?

Say no more as this time we – quite unexpectedly – can contribute to your dancing & dining pleasures with an EDM remix.

A DJ suggested to give this particular tune a “makeover” and we found his version to be quite amusing, so we just had to share it with you (considering we´re in the middle of the holiday season).

So dust off these dancing shoes and turn your boom box up to 11 – RH is in da house 🙂
Happy New Year, everyone!

Find the song on ALL DSPs. “

SERENITY BROKEN Release New Single + Video ‘Who We Are’

Athens based SERENITY BROKEN have released their new single and video ‘Who We Are’, watch the video below.

Serenity Broken is an Alternative Metal / Hard Rock band from Athens, Greece that formed in 2010.  

In 2012 their first full length album entitled “Commercial Suicide” hit the road and gathered dozens of amazing reviews, airplays from press and media across the globe and TV appearances in domestic channels.  

In 2013 the band released an acoustic  EP “Live ‘n’ Unplugged” and in 2015 the digital single “Savior” mastered by the great Jens Bogren (Dimmu Borgir, Amon Amarth, Opeth, Arch Enemy), prepared for Commercial Suicide’s successor. After some intense preparation and hard work the band released its second full length in 2017, entitled “RE/Define” with the almighty George Kollias of the death metal pioneers Nile behind the drums, which immediately gained some impressive reviews and scores from media around the world. “RE/Define” shines with an excellent mix & mastering again by the Finnish sound guru Ahti Kortelainen ( Sentenced, Sonata Arctica, Nightfall) at Tico Tico Studios. 

After the Covid madness the band released a new single called “Who We Are” in 2022 as the first part of a 3 track single series. The second one will hit soon and hard. Beware.

ENSLAVED Release ‘Sequence – Live’ Video + Single

The Winter Solstice is a significant day in the Pagan calendar marking the symbolic death and rebirth of the Sun. In the Northern Hemisphere it is the single day of the year with the longest period of night, with the days after becoming increasingly lighter.

In celebration of this special day, left-field metal luminaries ENSLAVED are proud to reveal their single and video for ‘Sequence – Live’. The track, which originally comes from their 2020 record Utgard, sees a live recording detailing a new interpretation of the song, with nuanced accompaniment by fellow psychedelic Norwegian prog band Shaman Elephant. This extraordinary performance took place during the 2021 Winter Solstice, via the stunning streaming event ‘The Otherworldly Big Band Experience’.

Listen to the ‘Sequence – Live’ single here: https://enslaved.bfan.link/sequence

‘The Otherworldly Big Band Experience’ was an Enslaved show like none other, their biggest, boldest project to date – a colossal, kaleidoscopic stage show featuring a stellar setlist covering their career, both past and present. Including some tracks never previously performed live.

Enslaved recently announced a UK and European headline tour for Spring 2024. The 16-date run will take place in March 2024, taking the band across 10 different countries, with support coming from British post-hardcore quartet Svalbard and US metallers Wayfarer. Tickets are on-sale now from https://enslaved.no/

Enslaved recently played their final live show of the year at Damnation Festival, following on from a hectic festival season with performances at the likes of Midgardsblot, ArcTanGent, Brutal Assault, Beyond The Gates and Desertfest Antwerp, on-top of a co-headline tour across the USA and Canada earlier this year with Insomnium.

Enslaved’s latest avant-garde creation, Heimdal, was released earlier this year. Their breathtaking 16th studio album is both a departure and a communion with roots forged over three decades ago in the turbulent birth throes of Norway’s black metal scene. It’s a record that points towards new beginnings, and a dawn that’s on the other side of the apex of the land. A psychedelic journey through arcane Norse folklore, connecting with one’s ancient ancestors and our future selves.
