Prolong the Joy is ETERNUM JOY’s debut EP, including 5 unique tracks exploring different genres such as grunge, brit-pop and alternative rock. With energetic melodies and exhilarating choruses, Prolong the Joy exudes prime rock n’ roll!
The brainchild of frontman Stephen Abraham and lead guitarist T’kius Horsley, completed by bassist Abby Mcneil, EternumJoy represent the challenges that kids in this generation have to overcome.
Eager to bring back a form of 90s rock n’ roll that our era can relate to, the band are fuelled by the rapidly changing music scene in Liverpool, which keeps them motivated to create music and inspire.
Track By Track: Hear Me Calling is the latest single from Alternative-rock band Eternum Joy. With a catchy riff, heavy duty rhythm guitar, deep bass and piercing drums reminiscent of the 90s grunge era. Supersoaker is about what it’s like living during these times in poverty-stricken areas. With corrupt politicians and the cost of living rising to unreachable points, It’s the band’s first controversial song with meaningful lyrics that hit close to home. Trying to Understand is about the confusing times that you can’t avoid in adult life. Turning 18 and immediately being hit with the ego-killing responsibilities that come with it. Honey’s Dead is about a character named Honey who takes part in substance abuse. Her life is known to be at a dead end so she has all the more reason to continue her downward spiral. The song reflects on the people we see every time we visit a busy city, the people nobody would notice if they were to disappear. People Creep is about growing out of your youth and realising the worlds no so perfect and the people in it can just be filthy. It also calls back to a fear of time itself and whatever that holds.
Following the release of their sixth and finest album, ‘Silver & Black’, on Golden Robot Records in 2022, Australian rock band LEADFINGER travel back in time in with a ten-year anniversary edition of their 2013 album ‘No Room at the Inn‘. Available on May 26th, via Golden Robot Records.
‘No Room at the Inn‘ was published on the iconic label Citadel Records and is a superb and eclectic collection that has some of Leadfinger’sbest songs. However, the band had long been dissatisfied with the album’s audio quality and mix, so with the tenth anniversary approaching, it was determined to correct that error and give the record the polish and sonic love that the songs deserved.
There are numerous standout tracks on ‘No Room at the Inn’, including “You’re So Strange”, a 70’s blues rock swagger, “Cruel City”, a live classic and one of Leadfinger’s best hard rock guitar pieces, and the title track, which sees the band swerve into alt – country territory. “Gimme the Future” features soaring backing vocals from Chloe West, haunting 12 string guitar and searing slide licks. One of the most powerful songs off this underrated album, and is now available everywhere.
The 2023 re-release of ‘No Room at the Inn’ is a completely remixed and remastered album from the same team that worked on ‘Silver & Black’ (Brent Clark, Mixing and Kathy Naunton, Mastering), and it now sounds as heavy and powerful as it always should have!
The new EP Transition from ANCIENT SETTLERS is out now on Crusader Records. This new chapter is the interlude of the Settlers Saga. An ambitious, melodic, diverse, rough, technical, and aggressive 4-track EP. Each song with its own personality, defined by the catchy and memorable guitar riffs and a source of different vocal approaches. Lyrically, the EP draws on contemporary topics like the war, the post-pandemic challenges, gender inequalities, the migrant crisis across the world, and the challenges of our society.
From St Sebastien, Spain, Ancient Settlers is a modern melodic death metal outfit comprised of five musicians, inspired by the recent tragedies that affect the way that humans live. Ancient SettlersFrom St. Sebastien, Spain,
Founded in 2020 by Carlos Chiesa-Estomba and Herman Riera (Former Haboryn), Rene González (Former Aesthesis), Emmy Reyes (Blackbeer, Former Gamalyel), and Antony Hämäläinen (Meridian Dawn, Former Nightrage and Armageddon), Ancient Settlers is a group with more than fifteen-years’ experience in the European and American metal circuits.
The band started their journey with the intention to explore the frontiers of modern melodic death metal including catchy guitar riffs, the use of synths and keyboards and a variety of different sounds and rhythms, trying to develop their own musical personality. From a lyrical standpoint, the band is inspired by the recent tragedies that affect the earth and human race. They try to spread their message to all those prepared to listen.
In 2023, Argen Death replaced Antony Hämäläinen on vocals and the band returned to the studio to record their new EP, ‘Transition’, for Golden Robot Records. The EP was under the guidance of Pedro J Monge (Vhaldemar, Rise to Fall, etc) at Chromaticity Studios, and the band worked with the recognised illustrator Jon Toussas (Metal Hammer, Septic-Flesh, Suicidal Angeles, etc). The band is currently preparing the tour to present ‘Transition’ across Europe.
Ancient Settlers – Track by Track: A New World Order: Correspond to the most melodic peace in this new chapter. A plentiful of catchy riff, with voices running from the depth and dark side to the most powerful melodies. A strongest Modern Melodic death metal composition, supported by 80ths inspired synth, shredding guitar solos and since a lyrical point of view, a criticism to the post-pandemic social collapse. Special guest: Dalay Tarda (Rise to Fall)
Mihi Nomen Est Ira: War is useless, since this premise, The Settlers build the criticism against a new era of war in the European Continent. One of the most powerful songs of the band, energetic and intense Death Metal, with a plenty of modern guitar solos across the song, with clean and guttural voices working together, also supported by Gregorian chants in the song epiphany. Special guest: Pintxo Wayewta (Empire of Disease)
The Circle: a utopian dream, defined by the band as a spiral of musical emotions. With deep clean voices and chorus and rough screams, supported by a set of melancholic guitar lines and solos, accompanied by a strong percussion section, with and always precise bass execution. A song who finds his culmination in an Epic and emotional chorus. Special guest: Andres Pestana (The Black Tree)
Modern Travelers: there is no place for a journey. In this song, the settlers try to reflex about the migrant crisis across the world. From a musical perspective, an approximation to the old progressive metal and rock bands, with an effusion of catchy rhythms, dramatic scream, beautiful chorus lines, and multiple guitar harmonies, mixed all together to defined a emotional experience.
SONS ON FIRE released the official music video for single “Collapse.” The single was produced and mixed by Joe Marlett (Blink 182, Switchfoot, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age).
“We feel this is the most wide appealing most commercial song we’ve written. It sheds a light on life’s everyday problems and how suicide is not the answer. Everybody has their own problems and issues and we just want everyone to know that help is just a phone call away. You are not alone,” says the band’s drummer Bill Nychay.
San Diego’s own Sons ON Fire has quickly become known to fans around the world as a band bound and determined to make its mark among the heavy hitters of modern rock. You could hear it as their first singles “Faded” and “Just A Man” (Pavement Music) tore up the charts for almost a full year and they have now reloaded with the addition of vocal heavyweight Josh Marin and guitarist Shawn Morgan (formerly of Papercut Massacre/Wind-Up Records) along with founding members Trevor Edwards, Bill Nychay and JK MCKinneyaka Johnny Fingerz (both formerly of Kicking K8/Crash Music/EMI).
This lethal combo has created a synergy resulting in an amazing new partnership with Curtain Call Records, huge performances ( Puddle of Mudd, Trapt, Tommy Vext, Black Top Mojo and Saving Abel) and culminated with the release of their first single “Rise”; an anthem for everyone looking to “Get Up and Rise” over whatever is keeping you from moving forward in life. The band has had tons of experience performing with heavy hitters Disturbed, Stone Sour, Seether, Black Label Society and many more. They are influenced by the likes of Sevendust, Motley Crue, Jimi Hendrix, Staind, Chevelle and Three Days Grace.
his band has faced it and even been knocked down at times, but being knocked down does NOT mean knocked out. The great ones get up, dust themselves off, kick adversity in the teeth and push forward to “Rise” up bigger and better than ever. THAT is Sons ON Fire!
In this world today you can either “embrace” and overcome what the world throws at you or be “destroyed” and crushed by it. Sons ON Fire chose to “Get Up and Rise” in order to bring its new music to the people. Embrace THAT or get out of the damn way!
Show Dates: June 9 @ The Back Bar in Janesville, WI June 10 @ Monster Hall Music Fest in Unity, WI with Tantric, Flaw, Trapt and more September 10 @ Cruisers Bar and Grill in Post Falls, ID December 2 @ Fitzgerald’s in San Antonio,TX

Modern hard rock project Glazergirl™ aka “GG” (Jill R. Serfaty) released her newest single “Chilly Flower” to all major platforms. The single is from her forthcoming 5 song EP titled “Mothership” due out this spring.
“‘Chilly Flower’ is a favorite of mine. It sounds like a spy movie opening credits and reflects the story of a boy who at four years old found a gun in his mother’s garden after a gas station robbery on the other side of the wall. The culprit flees. The child finds the gun among the flowers of the garden and points it at his eight-year-old brother—thankfully without tragedy. A garden, which should be about warmth and peace, becomes cold with hidden evil. Hence a ‘chilly flower’,” says Jill.

Glazergirl™ has been on the music scene since 2009, when she fronted a hard rock band in the Hollywood, FL area. Moving forward over the years, she was featured in the work of the JP Southern Band song “Slow Ride”. Three years ago Glazergirl™ fronted a metal band called Union Kain out of Fort Lauderdale, FL. In a decisive move, she decided on a solo project as Glazergirl™ to put her own original music out into the world.
