LUCIFER STAR MACHINE Launch ‘Censorshipped’ Single + Video

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 1, 2022
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: LUCIFER STAR MACHINE. Leave a comment

LUCIFER STAR MACHINE return with the adrenaline-fueled single and music video “Censorshipped”. The track is a punchy mixture of hard rock, punk, and hardcore on which the German five-piece shares their views on censorship and freedom of speech. Crushingly heavy yet sing along friendly, “Censorshipped” is the first single leading up to Lucifer Star Machine’s fifth studio album “Satanic Age”, which will be released during the spring of 2023.

Tor Abyss from Lucifer Star Machine on “Censorshipped”:
“We’ve written this song during lockdown around 2 years ago. Musically we wanted it to be right in your face with a singalong vibe. Kinda like 90’s Death Punk but with a modern twist. Lyrically we wanted to express our views on cancel culture and censorship in general. We live in controversial times where natural laws like freedom of speech are being put to the test constantly. It’s important when living in a democracy, that we can endure different opinions. This is a song about the protection of liberty and individuality.”

“Censorshipped” is out now on all streaming platforms together with an animated music video made by Mike “Fox” Foxall (The Art Of Fox). The single is released on The Sign Records. 

Upcoming live shows:
Fri 21.10. Mannheim (7er)

SEETHING AKIRA Release New Single ‘Dioxide’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 1, 2022
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: SEETHING AKIRA. Leave a comment

Defiant six-piece nu-metal rockers SEETHING AKIRA announce their much-anticipated third album Nozomi releasing on November 11 is now available for pre-order from FiXT.

Nozomi features twelve supercharged tracks across a dynamic mix of metalcore, nu-metal, and hard rock soundscapes with thrashing guitars and brutal, melodic, and infectious vocal hooks. From the hard-hitting track “Punishment Instructions,” the nu-metal single “Internal Antagonist”, the rap/rock anthem “Something In The Water,” all the way to the more introspective metalcore single “Lost At Sea,” the album is an intense journey through the human condition and its response to hope.

The first track off the pre-order campaign is the synth-heavy nu-metal banger “Dioxide.” Carrying on the signature nu-metal/metalcore trend “Dioxide” keeps up the aggressive heavy rhythms that push the single along at a violent pace; with intense and provoking lyrics laced through an explosive rap/rock track that lives up to the hard-hitting reputation Seething Akira has garnered over the past few months. 

“‘Dioxide’ is the thesis of the negative thoughts that tamper with hopes for both the present and the future,” states Seething Akira. “Living with this negativity like it is a separate entity to who we truly are. Recognizing this entity, but being unable to escape from its grasp over our own wishes and hopes.”

Explosive. Bombastic. Defiant. Intense. Seething Akira continues to rock on with their gloriously turbulent nu-metal sound towards their next album, Nozomi. Hot off the editorial success of their last album Dysfunctional Wonderland and with recent appearances at the Heavy Music Awards 2022, TECH-FEST, the Hammerdown Festival, UK TechFest, Amplified Festival 2022, the Free Road to Derby event, an appearance at Apocalypse Summer Bash at Bristol, headlining at Southampton, and a recently featured single on the hit Meta Quest VR game Smash Drums with “The Fallen”. With the announcement that they are joining Confession Of A Traitor on selected dates for their UK tour, Seething Akira is not slowing down any time soon. “Dioxide” is out now from independent multi-genre music label FiXT. 

Purchase/Stream: https://found.ee/Nozomi

Seething Akira have developed a gloriously turbulent sound that is uniquely their own. Founded by vocalists Charlie Bowes and Kit Conrad, Seething Akira are a 6-piece electronic nu-core band hailing from the seafront city of Portsmouth, UK that have been tearing venues apart across Europe with their powerful fusion of genres since 2012.
 
The band’s first full-length album, Sleepy Skeletor, dropped in 2018 and made it clear that Seething Akira would be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come. In late 2020, the band launched a series of new singles leading up to their second album, the highly anticipated Dysfunctional Wonderland. With the strength of the band’s music and their popularity with fans rocketing skyward, they connected with the electronic rock label FiXT and forged a partnership for their future releases. 
 
Seething Akira has been featured on the Rock Hard Spotify editorial list, while their single “Firepower” landed on Kerrang Radio and Scuzz. “I Am The Devil” and “The Islander”  were both featured on BBC Introducing, and “The Islander” premiered on Soundsphere Magazine. 
 
At home and on the road, Seething Akira have also put their stamp on staple festivals such as Bloodstock, Victorious, Camden Rocks, and many more while touring with bands like The Qemists and The Algorithm.
 
Recently Seething Akira have been releasing new singles throughout 2022 for their next album while blazing a trail across Europe on tour.  

Tour dates:
Oct 2nd – Key Club, Leeds – Main support to Confessions Of A Traitor
Oct 7th – Cobblestones, Bridgwater – Main support to Confessions Of A Traitor
Oct 9th – Green Door Store, Brighton – Main support to Confessions Of A Traitor
Oct 22nd – Boston Music Rooms, London – Main support to Confessions Of A Traitor

96 BITTER BEINGS Release New Single ‘Fire Skyline’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 30, 2022
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: 96 BITTER BEINGS. Leave a comment

Los Angeles rock band 96 BITTER BEINGS has released an incendiary new anthem and final single, ‘Fire Skyline,’ from their long-awaited, second full-length album, Synergy Restored, that’s due on November 4th from Nuclear Blast. 

Deron Miller, founding songwriter, vocalist and guitarist, explains the meaning behind the song: 
“‘Fire Skyline’ is simply about 3 teenagers, 2 boys and a girl, that conspire together to set Hollywood on fire at midnight. After successfully setting up their implements of arson, they head to to the roof of a 50 floor hotel. Sitting on the edge with their legs over the side, they pass around a bottle of vodka and watch the panic and chaos ensue. The sight of the horizon becoming a dark orange is the most incredible thing they’ve ever seen.”

Stream ‘Fire Skyline’: https://bfan.link/96BB-FireSkyline
‘Fire Skyline’ Visualizer: https://youtu.be/PozFFCHnD3U

Years in the making, 96 BITTER BEINGS’ Synergy Restored is 11 songs of relentless power and vibe. Four-on-the-floor, fuzzy and visceral, proper rock n’ roll made by an actual band, rather than a bunch of over-processed samples and otherwise stale shenanigans. Songs like ‘Vaudeville’s Revenge,’ ’90 Car Pile-Up,’ and ‘Wish Me Dead’ offer vivid reminders of the truth-telling prowess of guitars, bass, and drums. Miller is on fire, weaponizing the same knack for memorable musical epiphanies behind projects like Foreign Objects, World Under Blood and CKY.
