Two years after the release of his solo debut album, “Supernova Kill Road”, Finnish bass player SAMER ELNAHHAL, whom also served as a bass player for LORDI from 2005 until 2019, announces the release of his sophomore record, entitled “Dystopian Rose”, which is due to be out later this fall.
“’Don’t Play with Fire’ is a super-aggressive song coming with a wild video. Beware! Don’t play with fire or you’ll get burned…”, says frontman Matthi.
Closing in on 40 eventful years of existence, Canadian sci-fi metal innovators VOIVOD are pleased to announce the release of the “Ultraman – EP” on November 4th , 2022 via Century Media Records, complimenting their latest “Synchro Anarchy” album release in perfect timing for their upcoming touring activities as special guest to Opeth across Europe.
VOIVOD’s drummer Michel “Away Langevin” commented about the EP as follows: “As a kid I often dreamed of finding a Beta Capsule, so I could transform into Ultraman, keep the city from being destroyed by a giant fire spitting monster, and hopefully save Akiko Fuji in the process. I’m pretty sure many people had the same dream…we sure did in Voïvod, and that’s why we decided to cover the main and battle TV themes for this EP. The recordings were done during the ‘Synchro Anarchy’ sessions and Chewy sings the Japanese parts! For the B side, we tracked down the lost encore from the 35th anniversary show, Return To Morgöth – Live 2018. Enjoy!”
VOIVOD’s “Ultraman – EP” will be released in perfect timing for the band’s return to European stages as special guests for Swedish progressive metal/rock group Opeth on their upcoming “Evolution XXX” European tour in November 2022…
’You Must Die’ reminds us that time is merciless”, say SUICIDE SILENCE about the first single taken from their upcoming album, “Remember… You Must Die”. “Every second the clock ticks we grow closer to death and what happens after our short bout with time is a total mystery. ‘You Must Die’ was written as a reminder to remember death and to not let time be our master.”
While “You Must Die” is out on all digital platforms, watch the video below.
The concept is setting the tone for their upcoming 7th studio album, “Remember… You Must Die”, that was produced and mixed by Taylor Young (NAILS, Xibalba, Vitriol…) and that is s”cheduled for a release in the first quarter of 2023. For the artwork the band enlisted renowned Necrosurrealist artist David Van Gough to visualize the concept.
SUICIDE SILENCE has come full circle & returned to their original label home, Century Media Records. With nearly two decades of non-stop touring around the globe, hundreds of thousands of records sold and cementing themselves as a lynchpin band in modern extreme metal, the Riverside, California quintet has rejoined the label that released the highly acclaimed albums: “The Cleansing” (2007), “No Time To Bleed” (2009) and “The Black Crown” (2011).
While the two songs previously released, “In Extremis” and “Forest”, were exploring two contrasting facets of “Digital Noise Alliance”, “Behind The Walls” offers a deep dive into QUEENSRŸCHE’s trademark sound.
The band comments: “It is a story about those in crisis dealing with various forms of abuse. The protagonist is faced with the dichotomy of reconciling a lifetime of devout faith, while suffering immense abuse with no intervention.”
Right after the release of “Digital Noise Alliance” the band will embark on another tour opening for the mighty Judas Priest on their “50 Heavy Metal Years” US tour.
With a career that not only spans, but has charted the course of multiple genres, QUEENSRŸCHE remains a force in their own right. “Digital Noise Alliance”, QUEENSRŸCHE’s 16th studio album continues their ever-evolving legacy.
Once again teaming up with producer Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Hatebreed), “Digital Noise Alliance” not only refracts QUEENSRŸCHE’s past accomplishments but also pushes into the band’s future. It is the band effortlessly moving from strength to strength: immediate and thought-provoking.
