British blues-rock virtuoso Joanne Shaw Taylor adds a sultry twist to her repertoire with the release of “Wild Love,” the latest single from her eagerly anticipated album, due out next year. Brimming with bluesy undertones and an infectious energy, the track showcases Joanne’s signature guitar licks against a backdrop of dynamic drums and bass. “Wild Love” is a departure into a darker, more intimate territory, capturing the essence of a moody blues night while retaining the vigour that her fans have come to adore.

“I love this track,” says Joanne. “I wanted it to be dark and sexy. I think, with the boys’ help, we came up with something really cool that the band in the studio really made come to life.”

“It’s also rather different to anything I’ve done before so I’m really looking forward to playing it live,” says Joanne, reflecting on the collaborative creative process with her guitar tech Elliot and guitar player Joey. With their combined talents, “Wild Love” promises to be a highlight in her discography.

Following the enchanting success of her previous single “Black Magic,” Joanne continues to mesmerize her audience with her latest creation. “Black Magic” set the stage with its traditional blues infusion, promising a soulful escape for listeners and fans alike. Her first single “Sweet ‘Lil Lies” captivated audiences by blending rock with blues undertones reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac and Bonnie Raitt. Now, “Wild Love” builds on that foundation, offering a compelling new narrative woven with Joanne’s soulful melodies and deep, rhythmic grooves.

Discovered by Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics when she was a mere 16 years old and subsequently invited to tour the world, Joanne’s rise to stardom, propelled by endorsements from music giants like Stevie Wonder and Annie Lennox, remains unmatched. 

With a discography boasting chart-toppers like Reckless Heart, The Blues Album, and most recently Nobody’s Fool, Joanne is unstoppable. As she readies her next studio album, fans can expect a cocktail of her signature guitar riffs, emotive vocals, and inspired songwriting. Moreover, her live show has been gaining rave reviews and boasts an eclectic blend of classic hits and fresh material, with two weeks left on the road, the tour ends at the historic Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta, GA.

Journeyman’s revolutionary approach to the music industry continues to disrupt the norm. Spearheaded by Joe Bonamassa and manager Roy Weisman, the label champions live artists and offers them a platform unlike any other. With their vast experience and industry intelligence, Journeyman is a beacon for emerging artists, providing them with unparalleled support and guidance.

HIRAES Announce New Album “Dormant”, Music Video for First Single Revealed

German-based melodic death metal formation HIRAES – featuring former members of DAWN OF DISEASE and CRITICAL MESS – will furiously kick off the new year with the release of their sophomore studio album, entitled Dormant, due out January 26, 2024 via Napalm Records!

Wasting no time, HIRAES have just unveiled the first single from Dormant – thunderous album opener “Through The Storm”. The track offers a glimpse into the variety of elements on the album, including powerful and varied drumming, poignant and melancholic melodies, infectious choruses, and breathtaking soundscapes – all complimented by Britta’s versatile vocals.

The band comments about the track and video:
“In a way, the video is a continuation of our first single, ‘Under Fire’, from the last album. It’s dedicated to a storm and its indomitable energy. Experience this debut single and join us as we navigate ‘Through The Storm’ together!“

The band adds:

“We are far beyond proud to present our second album Dormant to you! The album will grab you with its intensity from the first second on and won’t let you go. We invested a lot of energy, dedication and passion to create this monumental and melancholic piece of melodic death metal. Having played countless shows over the last two years, Dormant captures the energy of HIRAES’ live performances and places the songs right between heart and gut.

Once again, none other than the talented staff of Fascination Street Studios under the direction of Jens Bogren are responsible for the refinement of our sound. We are so much looking forward to unleashing Dormant upon all those metalheads out there!“

Compared to their lauded 2021 debut, Solitary, it’s immediately evident that HIRAES did not only grow within their sound due to countless live appearances, but have invested more time and energy into developing their sophisticated songwriting and production, leaning further into their own unique sound profile. Due to the use of varying keys and sonic elements, Dormant is undoubtedly fresh without sacrificing the nuances that caused their first album to connect so successfully with fans.

With their very first offering, HIRAES already created an exciting new melodic death emergence, built upon a brutalized vocal attack, intense melodies and aggressive guitars. On Dormant, HIRAES flexes their own trademarks in an intensified way, ranging from versatile drumming, catchy riffs and hymn-like melodies to enthralling soundscapes and the impressive vocal onslaught of singer Britta Görtz. Dormant is a stirring, intense and dynamic death metal affair that is both heavily brutal and dark, yet full of melodic melancholy. This album is highly recommended for fans of Insomnium, Dark Tranquillity, Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth and At The Gates!

Pre-Order Dormant HERE!

Dormant track listing:

  1. Through The Storm
  2. We Owe No One
  3. Undercurrent
  4. Chance To Fail
  5. About Lies
  6. Come Alive
  7. Ocean Child
  8. Nightflight
  9. Red Soil
  10. Dormant

HIRAES are:
Britta Görtz – Vocals
Lukas Kerk – Guitars
Oliver Kirchner – Guitars
Christian Wösten – Bass
Mathias Blässe – Drums

SOUR BLOOD Present New Song ‘Revolution Now’

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: SOUR BLOOD. Leave a comment

SOUR BLOOD is a Polish project playing alternative rock, behind which there are two musicians connected with rock scene in Poznań (PL).

Sour Blood is a ritual of emotions taking one’s soul to the rivers of no return. When alive, a Man becomes a vessel for one’s desires, ambitions, and fears, and joins to the Dance Macabre deluded, that it’s He who leads. Sour Blood is the search of the feeling when you let it go.

Revolution Now is a voice for people who live in this world and cannot believe what’s happening on the news every day.

The people we live with are kind, genuine, caring, open, understanding, welcoming.

You are beautiful and we love you.

We believe there is goodness in everyone. Some are just sad and lost.

Our revolution is against war, violence, hate, racism, xenophobia, nationalism, inequality, injustice, and all the unnecessary pain and suffering they cause.

We are stronger together. Let’s listen to each other more carefully and listen to more music.

With love, Sour Blood
