When bands release music in a 7″ vinyl format, usually in a limited edition, it can mean that the majority of fans who don’t have anything on which to play vinyl are unable to access the music easily. And, with this in mind, on the first Friday of the first six months of 2022, Norwegian Black Metallers SARKOM have been releasing their entire back catalogue of 7″ vinyls in digital format.

Starting in January, and ending in June, the band will have released a total of ten tracks, representing the crushingly dark, guitar-driven sound for which SARKOM has become known over the band’s 19 years of existence.

THE MACHINIST Release New Single ‘PIG’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 6, 2022

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: THE MACHINIST. Leave a comment

New York City, NY extreme metal group THE MACHINIST have today shared PIG – the second song to be taken from their upcoming sophomore album, All is Not Well. On their latest single, THE MACHINIST lambast racially motivated institutional police violence with no holds barred candour and scorn. PIG will receive a music video treatment in the near future, with more news in due course. All is Not Well is set for release via Prosthetic Records on July 8.

Listen to PIG via Apple Music, TIDAL, Deezer, Bandcamp and Spotify
All is Not Well is available to pre-order here.

Speaking on PIG‘s release, Amanda Gjelaj (vocals) comments: “Writing PIG was very emotional. Lyrically, it’s in your face and gets straight to the point. We were in the middle of a global pandemic and in the middle of the Black Lives Matter movement, going to protests and seeing things I never thought I would have to see. This song is political but very real. We want our fans to feel and understand how serious these times are. With that being said, we are very excited to show everyone PIG.”

Three years on from their debut full length, Confidimus in Morte, and following US and Canadian tours alongside Falsifier and Black Tongue as well as US support slots with While She Sleeps and Vulvodynia respectively, the New York, NY trio have undergone a transformative process of upheaval. In the immediate wake of the Coronavirus pandemic that ravaged their homestate, THE MACHINIST found themselves at ground zero in New York in the early stages of All is Not Well’s creation. With a state of emergency declared, all studio work on the record ceased for an indeterminate time. In this universal limbo the groups core of Amanda Gjelaj (vocals), Josh Gomez (guitar) and Steve Ciorciari (drums) watched on in horror as 2020s political climate began to fall under the weight of itself alongside societal ills and the spread of rampant misinformation.

Resuming recording as the world tentatively took to recovery, THE MACHINIST teamed up with Daniel “DL” Laskiewicz (Bad Wolves, ex-The Acacia Strain) to produce, mix and master their sophomore effort, with help from Ice Nine Kills’ Ricky Armellino for vocal tracking. The time spent in isolation and witnessing the horrors of police brutality (explored on PIG), inflammatory politics and minority communities coming to terms with loss sits restlessly within the marrow of All is Not Well’s lyrical themes. Sonically, Gomez’s penchant for converging both death metal brutality and intricate melodic metal and hardcore serves as a counterpart to All is Not Well’s excoriating kickback at a world in crisis.

THE MACHINIST’s latest effort finds the band embracing more melodious territory and refining their more expansive inclinations with Gjelaj’s vocal performance looming large as an anchoring force on the release’s nine tracks. Across All is Not Well’s 34 minute runtime, it’s plain to see that THE MACHINIST’s decade long existence has led to All is Not Well being the most conceptually and musically realised incarnation of the band yet.

Standing tall in 2022, THE MACHINIST discards solipsistic tunnel vision for a wider scope of the personal and political. All is Not Well refuses to resign in the face of the current climate’s ongoing political and personal divisions, opting instead to shine a light and give a platform for the chance of hope.

All is Not Well tracklist:
1. PIG
2. Mother Earth
3. All is Not Well
4. Hourglass
5. The Final Encounter
6. Death’s Embrace
7. Lysergic Lullaby
8. Monsters
9. Letter in Red

Upcoming THE MACHINIST show:
July 8 – All is Not Well release show – The Meadows – Brooklyn, NY

CROBOT Unleash New Studio Album “Feel This”

CROBOT have released worldwide their new studio album “Feel This” via Mascot Label Group / Mascot Records.

Their latest song Set You Free is approaching the Top 30 at US rock radio rising with increased momentum week to week.

Singer Brandon Yeagley shares, “There’s a few things that you have to do when you find yourself deep in the heart of Texas shooting a music video – either something’s getting blown up or set on fire. We decided the latter for the filming of ‘Set You Free.’ It’s always a pleasure working with the crew of MyGoodEye and this one is literally on fire. With the help of our talented friend, Chelsee Jernigan (Fear of the Walking Dead, What About Molly?) we find ourselves lost in the woods with only the light of our flashlights and a few burning things…what things you ask? Well, what sort of things would you expect us to burn, Beardos?“

With tens of millions of streams, countless shows, and acclaim from the likes of Metal Hammer, Classic Rock, Kerrang, BBC Radio, SiriusXM Octane, Loudwire, Guitar World and many more, Brandon Yeagley [vocals], Chris Bishop [guitar], Tim Peugh [bass], and Dan Ryan [drums] realize their vision like never before on their fifth full-length studio album. The release follows 2019s Top 10 Heatseekers album MOTHERBRAIN, whose cumulative streams have surpassed 30 million. Twenty-one million of which were for the goliath single “Low Life,” a Top 10 single at Active Rock radio, with a 29-week run on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.

“This is the record we’ve been wanting to do ever since we started,” exclaims Brandon. “We’ve always thought of ourselves as a live act,” he continues. “When Jay Ruston described his process of recording, we were beyond excited about getting in and getting our hands dirty. It involved performing live as a unit and finishing all instruments on a song before moving on to the next. We recorded 16 songs in 21 days, which is a feat in itself.”

They made waves with Legend of the Spaceborne Killer [2012], Something Supernatural [2014], and Welcome To Fat City [2016]. However, Motherbrain [2019] represented a high watermark. They’ve crisscrossed the U.S., and The World, in road-warrior style, playing with the likes of Anthrax, Black Label Society, Seether, Chevelle, Clutch, Volbeat, Halestorm and more. They’ve lit up festival bills and the annual Shiprocked! Cruise, Rocklahoma, Welcome To Rockville, WMMRBQ, Aftershock, and the Jericho Cruise alongside others. “We tour the pockets off of our pants and sleep in our van for half of the year. To some, that may seem like misery, but to us – it’s Heaven baby!” the frontman says.

Track list

Electrified
Dizzy
Set You Free
Better Times
Golden
Without Wings
Livin’ on the Streets
Into the Fire
Dance with the Dead
Holy Ghost
Never Break Me

SPEKTRVM Release New Single/Official Video ‘Leviathan’

“What can one say about vanity. Vanity plays lurid tricks with our memory, and the truth of every passion wants some pretence to make it live. It is most often the unseen spur and everyone has as much of it as they want understanding. But in the only thing that can preserve you from it, lies the knowledge of yourself.”

Leviathan is the first single/official video from Greek metal group SPEKTRVM, taken from their forthcoming album Blood For Heaven, which is set for release on July 8th via Sliptrick Records. The video was directed by Maria Chatzigianni.

The new album Blood For Heaven is available on pre-order in Shop Sliptrick at Dead Pulse …here

SALIVA Release New Radio Single ‘Crows’

Multi-Platinum, Grammy nominated band SALIVA released their new radio single “Crows” to all major platforms! Catch the band on tour with Otherwise this June!

Singer Bobby Amaru states, “Crows is about a broken relationship with someone that is unable to accept what and who they really are. Someone you try and fix but cannot. When I say “I’m not bowing to the crows inside your head!”

He continues, “That means I’m done giving into the same shit that’s been eating this relationship alive. I think many people can relate who have been in this situation before. They continue to let the other person drag them down until enough is enough!”

“Crows” can be streamed/downloaded HERE

Saliva will continue to release tracks and ultimately a full album in 2022. The new music has a contemporary feel but sticks to the blue collar roots that their fans love.

After acquiring front man Bobby Amaru in 2011, Saliva became infused with new blood, energy, and spirit. The same energy launched Saliva’s career in 2001 with the release, _Every Six Seconds – a certified Double Platinum-selling album, containing the hits, “Click Click Boom” and 2002 Grammy nominated, “Your Disease.” Saliva’s in-your-face, anthemic writing style continued with a certified Gold-selling album *Back in to Your System_ with hits: “Always,” “Raise Up,” and the Nikki Sixx co-written, “Rest In Pieces.”*

Upon adding former Shinedown and Fuel bassist, Brad Stewart, as a permanent member, Saliva solidified their new lineup consisting of: Wayne Swinny, and Amaru.
