The fury of Italy’s THE HUMAN TORNADO will be unleashing the new album “Love Is Démodé” on March 11, 2022 via Rockshots Records.

Today in preview, the band is sharing their first single “Dreamland” with an epic music video.

“Each one of us has an inner dark side, and we often have to control it to be able to do the best we can in everyday life. Dreamland is our invitation to fight and win our private monster accompanying us throughout life. So we chose this song as the first single because it represents our desire to fight and do our best on stage. The sound impact is strong, the drumming is powerful, the guitar riff is defined from the beginning to the end so that our message remains well impressed in our audience’s mind.” adds the band.

Enter the band’s “Dreamland” with their music video, below.

Offering a slab of smashing knock-out heavy groove rock, The Human Tornado has been making shockwaves since forming in 2014 in Bologna, Italy. The band made their debut in 2016 with their first full-length “Storm In A Ketchup” on Hidden Stone Records along with supporting touring bands such as Twelve Foot Ninja, Destrage, and Crazy Town.

The Human Tornado‘s sophomore follow-up “Love Is Démodé” was self-produced by the band with mixing and mastering done by Marco Paradisi at Boat Studio. The album will feature ten hurricane tour de force tracks that will leave fans breathless and eager to set the track listing on repeat from beginning to end. 

“Every song is played with heart and soul and we wanted to explore new sounds, but without forgetting our heavy rock imprint, so we produced an intense groovy album with more melodic openings.” adds the band.

The lyrical concept behind the album is love, one of the strongest feelings of deep affection. It has different aspects and it can be addressed to another person, an animal, or a passion. But, if it’s pure, this doesn’t matter.

The band explains further: “For some years this feeling of love has been declining, going out of fashion. In fact, in our society finding people loving what they do is increasingly difficult and often image, power, success are the most important aspects of life. Moreover, these goals are more and more often achieved by means of questionable actions and negative feelings. In this album we want to express our idea of love in particular towards music, showing in every single song even the dark and negative sides coming from love in our life.“

The Human Tornado will be revealing tracklisting and album artwork at a later date for “Love Is Démodé“. 

CREDIC Reveal First Album Details, “Vermillion Oceans” Out April 22nd

Stuttgart, Germany -based melodic death metal act CREDIC has revealed the first details about the band’s highly anticipated sophomore studio album. Vermillion Oceans will be released on April 22, 2022 via Sweden’s powerhouse Black Lion Records.

Featuring ten brand new tracks, with Vermillion Oceans CREDIC delivers a furious and ferocious, yet emotional metal Iliad. An epic brand of melodic death metal that is, despite upholding the very DNA of the genre, free and bold, charging with vigour and embellished by a monumental aura of longing not unlike the feeling you get when you gaze at the starlit sky in wonder and terror. Imagine a cross between Gothenburg metal and the score to “Stranger Things”, Vermillion Oceans sounds like a massive, zeitgeisty metal album taking a stroll through Hawkins, Indiana. You might wanna call it arcade death metal or not: This is a first, not only in the cosmos of melodic death metal.

CREDIC comments:
“We are honoured and grateful to become a part of Oliver Dahlbäck‘s Black Lion Records and his incredible team. For CREDIC it feels like coming home without having ever been there before. Not only is it a return to our Swedish musical ancestors from the Gothenburg area but beyond that a continuation of our vision.
From the first moment onwards we felt Oliver’s passion for music, his enjoyment in making things happen and had great appreciation for his future plans regarding our upcoming album VERMILLION OCEANS.
When we created VERMILLION OCEANS our goal was to pick up what inspired us in Melodic Death Metal over the years – taking the rawness from Dark Tranquillity and At The Gates or the hymns that In Flames or Soilwork wrote during their career – but mix it with modern guitar riffs and give it a touch of Dark Synthwave sounds that you all know from the Stranger Things score. All this creates a zeitgeisty metal album in a captivating new soundscape that takes no prisoners. We cannot wait to share this monster with the world and to blow your ears with VERMILLION OCEANS in spring 2022.“

Tracklist reads as follows:

  1. Tides Disharmonized
  2. Vermillion Oceans
  3. Darkened Fields
  4. The Path
  5. Interhuman Gravity
  6. Autumn’s Spring
  7. Chosen Ordeal
  8. The Mountains Between Us
  9. Tethys
  10. Long Street

Set for release on April 22nd via Black Lion Records, watch out for many more details and a first single to follow in the weeks ahead!

Umeå hard rock/metal quintet HELLBOUND pays tribute to their fellow countryfolk Nordman with a cover of “Och Regnet Föll” together with the Nordman vocalist Håkan Hemlin. In addition to the cover, the band had also recorded their own track called “King of Misery,” where Håkan also sings. The Swedish group has now released the double-single Och Regnet Föll, featuring both the songs, to celebrate the 10th anniversary.

The collaboration with Nordman’s frontman Håkan Hemlin came naturally when the idea was presented as there is a mutual admiration after Håkan took a liking to Hellbound at Discouraged Fest 2014.

Hellbound has also dropped a video for the cover number “Och Regnet Föll,” which was premiered via Metal Insider (full feature AT THIS LOCATION). The video was directed by Owe Lingvall of Dream Day Media, known for his work with Meshuggah, Sabaton, Nocturnal Rites, and more.

Hellbound frontman Miika Rudin on the video + dual-single:
“Being a huge fan of Swedish folk band Nordman since their debut in 1994 and a big admirer of Owe’s work both as a musician and videomaker, the chance to work with both of them in the same project crosses a lot of points on my personal bucket list. And I am very proud of the results.”

Access Och Regnet Föll on major digital/streaming platforms RIGHT HERE. The double-single will later be released as an exclusive and very limited 7-inch vinyl in 2022 via Discouraged Records.

Three-time Grammy-nominated hard rock heavyweights KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, recognized by Forbes as “one of modern metal’s most cherished acts,” have a lot going into the new year.

Many fans recall the band’s powerful streaming event performance, which originally aired last summer from The Palladium in Worcester, MA, home to so many memorable and iconic KsE shows throughout the band’s two-decade history. Directed by David Brodsky and Allison Woest for MyGoodEye, the performance found KsE performing 2019’s Atonement in full, along with the 2000-released self-titled album in full – with some surprises along the way.

The band will be rebroadcasting the Live At The Palladium streaming event on Friday, January 14, 2022 at 7pm ET, with continued on-demand viewing access through Sunday, January 16 – this time with all band members live-chatting with fans in real time during the performance stream.

Fans who previously purchased access to the streaming event will be able to re-watch it for free. Additionally, all ticket holders for the North American Atonement Tour 2022 will be able to view the stream for free, as long as tickets are purchased by January 10, 2022. For all others, streaming event tickets will be available separately for $12. New merch and VIP bundles will be available as well.

Get tickets here.

Also, be on the lookout for an eventual CD/Blu-ray and vinyl release of the livestream in 2022 via Metal Blade Records.

In other KsE news, the band has earned another impressive accolade. Their fourth album, As Daylight Dies, released by Roadrunner Records on November 21, 2006, has been certified platinum by the RIAA. The record produced fan favorites such as “My Curse” and “The Arms of Sorrow.” The band also received a platinum certification for the aforementioned single “My Curse,” as well as gold certifications for 2004’s The End of Heartache and the Set This World Ablaze DVD. The single “The End of Heartache” and their cover of “Holy Diver” are also certified gold.

Lastly, the Atonement Tour will be back on the road at clubs and theaters across the U.S. and into Canada. The trek kicks off January 28 in Pittsburgh and runs through March 12 in Philadelphia. Tickets are on sale here and dates are below. The Atonement Tour makes its return with the same powerful lineup, which includes Lancaster, Pennsylvania’s August Burns Red as main support and Light the Torch as the opening act. As fans are more than well aware, LTT frontman Howard Jones served as KsE‘s singer from 2002 through 2012.
