To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of her debut solo album, Rushing Through The Sky, gothic metal singer/songwriter LINDSAY SCHOOLCRAFT will be releasing a brand new, remastered edition of the album. The album will be available on vinyl for the first time in a limited edition blue variant and digitally streaming for the first time. Pre-orders are available HERE.

Lindsay comments:

“When I first recorded and released this EP I did not account for the fact that one day it was going to turn 10. I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that a decade has come and gone. Luckily, my team and I caught before the big anniversary had a chance to pass us by. 

For years the fans have been asking me to print this first release on vinyl, and here it finally is! Remastered just for the occasion. You can now experience the same songs from 10 years ago with a new sound and look.

Thanks to Phantasma Photography the Vinyl comes with new artwork too. Anyone who pre-orders the vinyl from my official shop gets it signed and personally addressed and will also receive a download of the 2022 version of “December Rain.”

I’m thrilled to celebrate my debut as a solo artist in such a special way a whole decade later.”

Juno Nominated LINDSAY SCHOOLCRAFT composes and performs Ethereal Gothic music exploring orchestral soundscapes and heavy metal.

A few months ago, Swiss metal legends ELUVEITIE announced their terrific return to the stages of European venues together with their Finnish partners in crime AMORPHIS – today, both bands can even announce that no less than Gothenburg, Sweden’s melodic death metal pioneers DARK TRANQUILLITY and German melodic death/doom outfit NAILED TO OBSCURITY will be accompanying them as special guests in November/December. While formers have already been haunting the clubs of the continent in support of their current “pandemic” offering »Moment« (2020) with Finnish folk metallers ENSIFERUM in April/May 2022, latters are working on their fifth full-length whose first appetizer was released in the form of new single, ‘Liquid Mourning’ in January. That’s why fans shouldn’t only be excited to witness strong performances but especially to hear new material from all four bands. More than enough reasons to not miss out on these shows: so what have you been waiting for? Get your tickets NOW! The final itinerary can be found below.

Founding member Chrigel Glanzmann comments on the upcoming tour:
“It hasn’t exactly become lighter in this world lately. Nonetheless there are still pleasant and joyful news. We cannot wait to finally start touring again after more than two really weird years. It feels unreal almost!
As if this isn’t enough we’re super stoked to announce the line-up of this tour – definitely one of the coolest tour line-up’s in our entire career. Being on the road together with dear friends and some of our personal all-time favorite bands – that’s really just more than I expected! We can’t wait to see you all again!”

AMORPHIS guitarist Tomi Koivusaari adds:
“We are happy to announce our remaining shows of the European tour with Eluveitie. Both bands have shared same stages on festivals in the past and it’s a great pleasure to share a whole tour together. Chrigel Glanzmann has played Amorphis’ Under The Red Cloud and Queen Of Time albums so the musical bondage is absolutely perfect.
After our friends from Dark Tranquillity and Nailed To Obscurity were confirmed for this tour it’s needless to say that this line-up is beyond epic. Get yer tickets folks!”

DARK TRANQUILLITY singer Mikael Stanne comments:
“We are super excited to announce that we will be going out on the road together with our friends Amorphis, Eluveitie and Nailed To Obscurity this winter. To tour such an amazing package will be the perfect cure for the winter blues. You will not want to miss this! See you out there!”

NAILED TO OBSCURITY states:
“After already having played shows in the U.S. but also a few gigs in Europe earlier this year, we’re hungrier than ever to get back on the road as soon as possible. We’re super stoked that we’ll even get the chance to return to European stages in the same year now – and what a hell of a line-up that is! We are honored to be a part of this and can’t wait to meet all the amazing people and friends from the other bands and crews and everyone out there who is going to come to enjoy this fantastic touring package. See you all soon!”

96 BITTER BEINGS to Release Long-Awaited New Album “Synergy Restored” on November 4th

Hot on the heels of their recent signing to Nuclear Blast Records, revered Los Angeles rock band 96 BITTER BEINGS has announced plans to release their eagerly-awaited, second full-length album, Synergy Restored, on November 4th. The former CKY frontman, Deron Miller and crew have offered up a taste of what’s to come with the new single ‘Vaudeville’s Revenge,’ which is available for streaming now and accompanied by the music video, watch it below.

Pre-Order Synergy Restored: https://bfan.link/96BB-SynergyRestored
Stream ‘Vaudeville’s Revenge’: https://bfan.link/96BB-VaudevillesRevenge

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.

Synergy Restored Tracklisting: 
1. Vaudeville’s Revenge
2. Wish Me Dead
3. Fire Skyline
4. Throw Yourself Inside
5. 90 Car Pile Up
6. Bedtime Story
7. Bloodrock Mania
8. Slither Away
9. Taken By Surprise
10. Adios Amigo
11. Conditioned Or Unconditional

THRESHOLD Announce New Album “Dividing Lines”, Out November 18th, Video for ‘Silenced’ Released

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Threshold. Leave a comment

THRESHOLD return with their 12th full length album Dividing Lines, which is set to be released on November 18th via Nuclear Blast Records.

Dividing Lines marks the second album since the return of former vocalist Glynn Morgan, who reunited with the band on their previous effort Legends Of The Shires (2017). A darker album than Legends Of The Shires, the band have described it as “Legends’ darker, moodier older brother”.

Get your first taste of the album with the single ‘Silenced’, which comes with a stunning new video.

Richard West comments on the song: “Silenced is about how we seem to be heading towards less voices, less artists, less venues, less platforms where everyone can be heard. People seem so scared to speak out or debate anything anymore. I know I sound old but I miss the good old days! When freedom of speech goes then society is lost.”

Stream ‘Silenced’ on all platforms here: https://bfan.link/silenced

The video was filmed by Sitcom Soldiers in the UK who also filmed the band´s last video ‘Small Dark Lines’. The video portrays a boy coming up against a threatening foe, only defeating them by summoning a mighty scream (unsilenced).

ANTHRAX Release Official Live Video ‘Bring The Noise’, “XL” Out Now Digitally

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Anthrax. Leave a comment

Today, XL, ANTHRAX’s 40th-anniversary livestream concert is released.  The release is now available digitally in the UK/Europe (Nuclear Blast), followed by a Blu-Ray release (inc. 2CD + 1Blu-Ray) on July 22nd. Orders can be placed here: https://geni.us/anthraxxl

Also released today is the third track / video from the Livestream, ‘Bring The Noise,’ featuring special guest CHUCK D, which can be viewed here:

Originally released in 1991 on ANTHRAX’s Attack of the Killer B’s album, the song helped break down barriers when the band collaborated on the track with PUBLIC ENEMY.  Its success led to ANTHRAX and PUBLIC ENEMY hitting the road together, opening many people’s eyes when they performed ‘Bring The Noise’ together live, and birthing a rap-metal milestone. 

ANTHRAX celebrated its 40th-anniversary last year, July 18, 2021, but due to COVID, had to cancel its global touring plans, scheduled for the band to celebrate the occasion with their fans all around the world.  About to mark its 41st year, the band – Joey Belladonna, Scott Ian, Frank Bello, Charlie Benante and guitarist Jon Donais are due to finally head out on that global anniversary tour.  On July 26, ANTHRAX will kick off its 26-date co-headline North American tour with BLACK LABEL SOCIETY and joined by HATEBREED, and then heads to the UK and Europe in late September to headline a five-week run.  Tickets and VIP packages can be purchased at anthrax.com.
