JESUS PIECE Sign to Century Media Records, Release New Single + Video ‘An Offering To The Night’ in Collaboration with Noah Clothing

JESUS PIECE isn’t merely the sum of its parts. It’s the nexus for an explosive creative chemistry between the bands’ five founding members who have channeled their love for old school metalcore, hardcore and death metal into a sound that’s as furious as it is oblique. The band gallantly broke into the scene in 2015, turning heads for their frantic, feral live shows and grandiose, melodic songwriting which has since cemented them as standard stirrers and boundary-breakers.

Today they return to announce that they’ve signed with Century Media Records to bring listeners the next era of Jesus Piece, alongside the first piece of new music since their highly acclaimed debut, “Only Self” (2018). 

“An Offering To The Night” is caustic and an exercise in tension-and-release riffage from the guitar team of David Updike and John DiStefano. Bassist Anthony Marinaro and drummer Luis Aponte (LU2K)’s groove-work is as off-kilter as it is distinct and bombastic. At the heart of it all, vocalist Aaron Heard brings the pain with blunt force mental trauma.

Stream the single at https://jesuspiece.lnk.to/AnOfferingToTheNight-SingleNE

The single is a spectacular preview into Jesus Piece’s second act and a passage to something more intense and personal for the five Pennsylvania natives. “An Offering To The Night” is available today on all digital platforms via Century Media and comes alongside a raw video directed by Eric Richter which you can watch today over at Noah.

 To coincide with the release of “An Offering To The Night”, Jesus Piece is also releasing a limited edition collection with NYC based clothing brand, Noah. The collaboration includes a made in USA pleated jean, striped rugby, hoodie, skate deck, tote and long and short sleeve tees, all with various Jesus Piece logos and graphics. The collection is available online at www.noahny.com and in-store at Noah Flagship, DSM LA and London.

DISTANT Reveal Details for New Album “Heritage”, Launch New Single/Video ‘Orphan Of Blight’

On February 10th, DISTANT – the multinational down-tempo/deathcore juggernaut from Rotterdam (The Netherlands) and the Slovak Republic – will release their third full-length, Heritage, via Century Media Records. The previously released album tracks – “Exofilth” and “Human Scum” – can be streamed online now, with new single, “Orphan Of Blight”, also available on all digital platforms here. The video for “Orphan Of Blight” [directed by Bart Sperling (Rock Steady Visual)] can be viewed HERE

DISTANT comments: “If there ever was to be a song that encapsulates everything DISTANT is, then it’s ‘Orphan of Blight’ from our upcoming album, ‘Heritage’. With our signature mix of theatrical and energetic delivery, ‘Orphan of Blight’ also includes an opera singer as the wonderful icing on a devastating deathcore cake!”

With an impressive discography of two highly regarded LPs plus a number of singles and EPs behind them, DISTANT is poised to become the face of European deathcore. Heritage – DISTANT’s Century Media debut – sees the five-piece take things to a new level, with a musical and lyrical reckoning: the album continues on the thematic, sci-fi-leaning lyrical cycle which the band transposed from aural intensity to the published page with vocalist Alan Grnja’s and bassist Elmer Maurits’ first novel, The Rise of Tyrannotophia. Already seen and heard across stages worldwide (including 2022’s Summer Breeze and Brutal Assault, as well as North America’s “Chaos & Carnage” tour with labelmates Lorna Shore and Suicide Silence), the tracks found on Heritage once again deliver DISTANT’s signature brand of down-tuned and downtempo heaviness. This is the sound of deathcore rising…

Andrzej Citowicz shared on the EP:
“I decided that these extremely sentimental, even cinematic instrumental, guitar recordings should have a place on some special release.

“Winter Songs” EP features 5 guitar, instrumental songs. 

“This release has become unique in many ways – Citowicz continues -. “The cover of E.P.  is by the excellent Polish artist & photographer, winner of several awards: Piotr Sadoczynski.

HUNTING GIANTS Share Lyric Video for Iron Maiden Inspired Track ‘Into Stone’

Canada’s HUNTING GIANTS are sharing their next lyric video for the track “Into Stone” off their latest album “Mythos” released this past September. For this song, the band lets the gallop of the drums from Daniel Beavington set an almost power metal vibe as the vocals from Stephen Atkey set the stage for the story of war and words of victory, which is to come.

The band continues to explain:

“Double kicks and blazing bass frame the Iron Maiden-inspired chorus while the vocals incite the need to fight for what you believe as tomorrow may be too late. A vocal chant erupts in the bridge, which heralds those who have fought for valour as hints of the cello can be heard underneath the instrumentation.”

“Mythos” new album is the crowning achievement of Hunting Giants‘ many years of musical work, writing, and recording while gigging and enduring quarantine as a band during the Covid pandemic. The members of Hunting Giants all came from, and are inspired by elements from prog, grunge rock, and various metal bands. The album’s goal is to grab listeners and amaze them with intricate woven stories, energetic riffs, and distinctive vocals. The album is meant to be an adventure, with each track having its own flavour and setting; the songs are worlds unto themselves. All of the music on the release contribute to a listening experience that is much more than the sum of its parts. The material is an addictive encounter that will keep you coming back.

The band adds:

“We are confident that new listeners, as well as those familiar with us through our previous release Skyward Eyes, will find a high caliber of intensity and listenability in Mythos that represents the musical growth and evolution of Hunting Giants. It’s a unique album expressed with a great diversity of energetic auditory textures. Each song hits hard with novel approaches and fresh ideas that will induce a comforting nostalgia in modern rock fans looking for something new and awesome.”

Hunting Giants is recommended for those who enjoy 90s grunge, heavy rock, and prog, especially fans of Alice In Chains, I Mother Earth, Soundgarden, Tool, and Audioslave.

“Mythos” is available on CD and digital at the following links:

Former TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA Singer JOE CERISANO Releases Solo Album “Give Love (For Christmas)”

Posted by tarjavirmakari on December 13, 2022
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Joe Cerisano. Leave a comment

The most famous anonymous singer in America JOE CERISANO (TSO, Silver Condor) is the voice behind “Hands Across America” and some of the most iconic commercials–GE, Army, Navy, Sprite, Miller–you have ever heard. Cerisano started his career on Columbia Records with Silver Condor alongside guitarist Earl Slick (David Bowie, John Lennon). He went on to do duets with Gloria Estefan and Placido Domingo as well as guest vocalist with Blue Öyster Cult and Korn; and fronted Trans-Siberian Orchestra. 

Joe Cerisano has put together a classic Christmas album with all your favorites plus some original compositions like “Give Love.” Give Love (For Christmas) features traditional Christmas songs with jazzy, upbeat arrangements and original compositions that put the Joe Cerisano spin on classic Christmas songs. For his version of “White Christmas,” Joe chose to include the often-omitted introduction verse to the song. Few people know that this verse exists, and it is a joy to see it be included. Nice treats are his version of the Brook Benton song “This Time of the Year (When Christmas Is Near),” and Joe’s version of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”

Joe has taken some production and arrangement hints from Paul O’Neill (rock producer, manager, and TSO founder) and blended it with his West Virginia roots to create a unique compilation of wonderful Christmas songs. As Joe states, “Christmas has always been my favorite time of year. The memories good and bittersweet revisit everyone’s heart. Yeah, I know the Santa Claus thing looms large, especially when you’re a kid, but Christmas brings back a flood memories to everyone and those are the songs [arranger and composer] Kinny Landrum [Leonard Bernstein, Carly Simon, Jimmy Cliff, etc.] and I chose to do. The title track, ‘Give Love (for Christmas),’ was written by my dear friends Lari White and Chuck Cannon, a husband and wife who teamed up and wrote a brilliant song that deserves to be the title track. Lari passed a few years ago, so the song means even more to me now. Bittersweet, yes, but life is that way. Merry Christmas.”

Listen to “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”:
