The Malevolence roadshow is coming to a town near you this winter and we’re bringing a bunch of our mates with us! We’re very excited to finally bring The Malicious Intent tour across the UK and Europe visiting a lot of familiar cities and you’re all invited, bring your dancing shoes! This is gonna be a party! 
We’ll see you all soon.”

Sylosis front man/guitarist Josh Middleton added,
“Sylosis are stoked to be heading out on the road at the end of the year with Malevolence. It’s been a long time since we’ve been on tour and we’re very excited to have a bunch of new material to play. As a huge fan of metal, seeing Malevolence killing it recent years is really inspiring to see and I’m honoured to be a part of this new generation of heavy music.”

PHIL CAMPBELL AND THE BASTARD SONS have announced an extensive EU/UK tour for 2023 to support their upcoming third studio album that will be titled Kings Of The Asylum.

Shortly after the band announced to the world the recruitment of new powerhouse lead singer Joel Peters in January 2022, the band entered Stompbox Studios in South Wales, UK and began writing and recording a new album at the beginning of 2022.

After putting the songwriting groundwork in throughout the Spring, the bastards then entered their busiest festival season to date including performances at major festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, Graspop Metal Meeting and many more throughout the summer. After the busy festival season the band then had time to reconvene to put the finishing touches on Kings Of The Asylum.

Phil Campbell, the former Motörhead guitarist of 32 years commented: “It’s been a great experience writing this album alongside Joel and the rest of my lads. We’ve come up with some monstrous riffs and hooks for your listening pleasure. We can’t wait to play some of these songs at some of our old favourites towns and cities and visiting some new places too!”

Joel added: “I’ve had great fun working on this album along side Phil and the boys and this is an album I am immensely proud of! Looking forward to everyone hearing it and touring these songs for the first time! We’ve got some definite bangers here!”

American heavy-riff devotees Corrosion Of Conformity have released a cover of the Lynyrd Skynyrd track ‘On The Hunt’, taken from the illustrious Southern Rock band’s third studio album Nuthin’ Fancy, released in 1975. This cover version brings a singular C.O.C. swagger and sludge-laden groove to the classic track.

This ‘On The Hunt’ cover lands shortly before C.O.C. kick-off their forthcoming three week tour across the UK and Europe, set to include performances at Desertfest London, Desertfest Berlin, and Soulstone Gathering in Krakow.

Corrosion Of Conformity’s Mike Dean commented,
“This is our hard  to find tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd, a major influence of COC.  With the recent passing of the great Gary Rossington, the last living original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd , we thought it would be a good time to make this celebration of Skynyrd more widely available.”

Corrosion Of Conformity are currently working on new material with New Orleans drummer Stanton Moore, for an eventual new release on Nuclear Blast.

North Carolina’s progressive-metal powerhouse STELLAR CIRCUITS has revealed an intense new single, ‘Catch Your Death,’ from their forthcoming sophomore album, Sight To Sound, that’s out June 9th from Nuclear Blast.

Commenting on the new track, bassist Jesse Olsen says: 
“‘Catch Your Death’ evolved from the idea of struggling with death anxiety. When we stepped back we were pleased with the sonic balance within the song and felt like it was a good representation of ‘Sight to Sound.'”

Recorded with Jamie King (Between The Buried And Me, He Is Legend), the band’s label debut features 11 unforgettable songs, soaked in aggression and replete with incredible technical skill for a truly mind altering listening experience.

CRADLE OF FILTH Reveal Video for New Studio Track ‘Demon Prince Regent’, New Live Album Out Now

Extreme metal legends CRADLE OF FILTH – led by iconic frontman Dani Filth – have unleashed a thirst-quencher of epic proportions in the form of their first live album to be released in over 20 years, Trouble And Their Double Lives, out today via Napalm Records.

In celebration of today’s album release, CRADLE OF FILTH has revealed a brand new live performance music video for one of the two new studio tracks cut from Trouble And Their Double Lives, entitled “Demon Prince Regent”. The track slams in with a wall of sound and grim, blackened guitar leads before reaching a headbanging, bouncing chorus – proving itself to be a searing follow-up to the band’s previous single, “She is a Fire”. 

CRADLE OF FILTH master of ceremonies Dani Filth says about the track and live album release:
“The footage for the studio track ‘Demon Prince Regent’ was filmed on the road whilst recently undertaking the co-headline ‘Double Trouble Live’ tour with DevilDriver in the US. 
The video is a logical visual bridge between airing the second studio track and the actual live album, wherein you also get the luxury of seeing our repugnant faces.

As for the album itself, I hope everyone enjoys this cantankerous volley of s(hits) just as much as we enjoyed making them, with songs stolen from Cradle shows from all across the world. 

And as cliche as it sounds, ‘this album is totally for the fans… Let’s see those f**king horns!!!’”

Recorded between 2014 and 2019 at different performances in the USA, Europe, Australia and beyond during their “Cryptoriana World Tour” and dates following, Trouble And Their Double Lives serves as a time-capsule of blisteringly intense live energy, and an astounding testament to CRADLE OF FILTH’s renowned latest era. 

Produced, mixed and mastered by Scott Atkins at Grindstone Studios in Suffolk, England with recording captured by Danny B, the brand new live onslaught not only features a slew of fan favorites encompassing the band’s electrifying discography – such as “Nymphetamine (Fix)”, “Bathory Aria” and “Blackest Magick in Practice” – but also two bonus tracks and two entirely brand new songs, the aforementioned “She is a Fire” and “Demon Prince Regent”.

Make sure to grab your copy of this very special addition to the CRADLE OF FILTH canon while they last!

Positioned firmly at the top of the extreme metal genre, CRADLE OF FILTH reign supreme as one of the most revered, formative and notorious names in the scene, and are undeniably responsible for breaking ground for many of today’s top metal artists with their trademark mixture of grim blackened heaviness, macabre theatricality and scintillating gothic style. The rule of Filth began in 1991, followed by the unleashing of 1994’s The Principle Of Evil Made Flesh – humble beginnings that expanded into cinematic classics like Cruelty And The Beast and Midian.

The band’s unyielding international touring schedule has garnered them a massive following both in the cult underground and at the top of the mainstream, defying trends while staying true to their roots. More recent offerings such as 2015’s Hammer Of The Witches and 2017’s Cryptoriana – The Seductiveness Of Decay continued to bolster the unremitting legacy of Filth, until the band, along with the rest of the universe, was abruptly halted by the global pandemic in 2020. But, as is evident by the staggering response from their devoted legion of followers, that time was put to good use, spurring the emergence of the band’s latest, breathtakingly heavy offering, 2021’s Existence Is Futile. The album debuted at #20 on the Billboard 200 with Hard Rock Genre, on the Hard Music Albums charts at #4 in the US and #5 in Canada, #9 on the German Album charts, #3 and #5 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums chart and UK Independent Albums chart respectively, #4 on the Finnish Albums chart and many more, proving that CRADLE OF FILTH continue to own the dark.
