Finnish melodic black/death metal band A LIE NATION is set to release their debut album Sociopathology on July 1st 2022 via Inverse Records. The second single God Of This Age was released today with music video.

Guitarist Jussi Tuomisto comments:
“God of This Age is the last song written for the “Sociopathology”-album. It’s a dynamic song with fast extreme sections accompanied by a slow atmospheric breakdown. One of my main goals in songwriting is trying to find the delicate balance between aggressive energy and more sentimental melodic structures. This song is a product of that thought process. I don’t like to explain lyrics, but let’s just describe them as satanic substance abuse. God of This Age is short tempered, a little weird and very dark. It reflects its maker perfectly.”

THE DEAD DAISIES Set to Radiate Some Heat with New Single & EU Tour

Posted by tarjavirmakari on May 28, 2022
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: THE DEAD DAISIES. Leave a comment

‘Radiance’ is the first single from THE DEAD DAISIES’ upcoming new album set for release in August.  The band have been writing and recording over the last couple of months in Los Angeles with esteemed producer Ben Grosse at the Mix Room studios.

A thunderous opening, sets the pace for ‘Radiance’, an eclectic, heavy rock track.  The riff digs deep into a 1970’s vibe originally created in the industrious heartland of England.  With Glenn Hughes powering vocal, towering above the musical storm provided by the twin guitars of Doug Aldrich and David Lowy and hugely earthshaking drums from Brian Tichy you better set the dial to eleven for this one!

“‘Radiance’ was the first song we wrote for the album and wanted to address a universal awakening with the lyrical content.  Musically it’s heavy on groove and movement.” – Glenn Hughes

On June 3rd the Daisies hit Europe for the summer where they’ll tear up stages with Judas Priest, Foreigner and Whitesnake, and hitting coveted festivals such as Graspop (Belgium), Hellfest and God Save The Kouign Fest (France), Masters Of Rock Festival (Czech Republic) and the Time To Rock Festival (Sweden), along with a string of killer headline shows.

Returning to the Daisies fold is drummer extraordinaire Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, Foreigner), uniting with Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Country Communion), Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio) and David Lowy(MINK, Red Phoenix), so prepare for a massive dose of undiluted rock on their EU Summer tour.

“I’m excited for everyone to hear ‘Radiance’, a little slab of new Daisies rock! It’s been a lot of fun recording with Doug, Glenn and David, and now I’m psyched to throw down live with the guys! Hope to see you all out there on tour this year!” – Brian Tichy 

The meta cinematic for ‘Radiance’ will transport you into a parallel universe with the Daisies’ digital offspring, The Meta Daisies.  Accompanying them in this new dimension is their guardian Daisy at the helm.  ‘Radiance’ will give you a taste of what’s to come in the Daisyland Metaverse.

‘Radiance’ will premiere on https://blabbermouth.net/ on June 2nd with the Daisies’ younger and more powerful Avatars.  Now, this is taking things to the next level and another first for rock band – The Dead Daisies!

“Well new music coming… we have a very unique and interesting song here called ‘Radiance’. Different than we have written before….It’s the first off our next album so crank it up!” – Doug Aldrich

After releasing their latest EP named “Hell Is Where The Heart Is – Part I: Love” in January of this year, rising German/Austrian nu-metal stars OCEANS have already announced the highly anticipated second part of this masterpiece – the digital EP entitled “Hell Is Where The Heart Is – Part II: Longing”, that will be released via Nuclear Blast on July 29th.

Today, they are already unleashing the second single off this EP, a dark and emotional hymn titled ‘I Want To Be Whole Again’.

Get the single digitally, here: https://oceans.bfan.link/i-want-to-be-whole-again

Timo Rotten comments: “This song was written in the midst of the pandemic at a low point in our lives. We had just lost one of the most important foundations of our sanity: playing live music. That was what had kept us sane all these years, and suddenly it was gone. There’s a lot of longing and pain in ‘I Want To Be Whole Again’, and I’m sure you can hear that clearly.”

YATRA Premiere New Single And Visualizer for ‘Reign of Terror’

Maryland death metal trio YATRA are today premiering their new single, Reign of Terror, and its accompanying lyric video via Distorted Sound. Reign of Terror is the third single to be taken from the group’s upcoming fourth album, Born into Chaos, which is set for release via Prosthetic Records on June 10. Alongside the premiere, YATRA are set to head out on the Born into Chaos North American headlining tour – with more info on the May and June dates below.

LISTEN TO REIGN OF TERROR AND WATCH THE LYRIC VIDEO VIA DISTORTED SOUND HERE.

Reign of Terror is now available on all streaming platforms. Born into Chaos is available to pre-order here.

Speaking on the premiere, Dana Helmuth (guitar / vocals) comments: “Reign Of Terror is about the inquisition, old and new.  The witch hunt, metaphorically. The dark ages and the torture. The division it caused and how it relates to the current division and accusation in the forms of mental slavery and mind control . Free speech and thought, personal freedoms, as well as spiritual and cultural practices are rapidly now being censored and misinterpreted intentionally. 

“More and more books are being banned or censored, discussion about controversial subjects leads to extreme false accusations. Abortion rights are being challenged, races are being separated again, as well as spiritual and cultural beliefs vilified . Historically these types of evil control have always been born and waged during, and after, great plagues and famines and wars.”

Written during the pandemic, Born into Chaos combines the uncertainty of the times and the desire to push forward at all costs. The group often jammed, while Helmuth constantly wrote, always looking to up his game. Riffs were hammered out via voice recorder and exchanged with drummer Lafferty and bassist Geisbert to keep the collaboration between members alive and productive. All eight songs were birthed frenzied and combative. Clearly, YATRA weren’t ready to capitulate or sacrifice re-discovered instinct.

Born into Chaos was recorded by YATRA, engineered by Noel Mueller (Foehammer, Myopic) at Tiny Castle Recording in Towson, Maryland. Mueller also handled the mix. The band then onboarded Brad Boatright (Sleep, Monolord) at Audiosiege in Portland, Oregon, to master. The team’s primary goal was to give YATRA heft, grit, and power on new songs like Born into Chaos, Terrorizer and Tormentation. Truly, from the first to the last spin, there’s no escape from YATRA’s feral charge on Born into Chaos.

Like their 2020 full length, All is Lost, YATRA’s Born into Chaos will come adorned in a Paolo Girardi (Power Trip, Black Breath) while also revealing a revamped logo by renowned artist Mark Riddick (Nunslaughter, Revel in Flesh). Draped in straightforward yet probing lyrics and supported by a killer horror-inspired video for Terminate by the Sword, Born into Chaos exposes the bone of YATRA’s complete transformation. The group’s new album will see them chart new courses for North America and Europe in 2022 and 2023.
