Punk Legends DAYGLO ABORTIONS Release New Track ‘Sacks Of Meat’

Canadian Punk Legends DAYGLO ABORTIONS have released their fourth single – “Sacks of Meat” from their upcoming album “Hate Speech” and premiere via Brutal Planet Magazine.  the track can be heard here.

Murray adds – This song describes how we are programmed essentially from berth to never reach our full potential. Our education dummies us down and punishes us for creativity, free thought, and individuality. All of the mainstream media has been co-opted by governments and the corporations that own them, and it keeps hammering the message home. Obey, don’t question authority. If an opinion attempts to contradict the official narrative it is labelled “fake news” and called a conspiracy theory. Now we are being aggressively divided down into smaller and smaller groups of people that all think and act the same. When I was young, punk rock was a celebration of our individuality. Originality was the most desirable character trait. Now if you show any variation from the norm in your social group you are rejected and if you attempt to question anything you will be viciously attacked. Don’t be fooled by so-called progressive liberals segregating us into groups of oppressors and the oppressed. It’s purpose is to make us hate each other. There is nothing progressive about their ideas. They are neo-liberal corporate slaves with the same goals as the worst of the neo-cons that gave us the war on terrorism. They are the terrorists. We should be building a world where race, gender, sexual orientation, and religion are irrelevant, where Martin Luther King’s dream that his grandchildren will be judged only by their actions can be finally realized.

This album is dedicated to the people that helped us make it. Scott Bennet and Scott Henderson, for essentially talking me into making it, then offering their studio (the lap of luxury) so we could do the pre-praductlon Work while in the middle of Covid-19 induced lock-downs. Then Rob lawless, and Terry Paholek, for allowing us io Invade their studio (The physics lab) in Edmonton Alberta, and for the brilliant work the did making it sound so good. Next is Matt Jak and Sherry Benson, and family, for inviting us into their home and putting us up in Edmonton. And finally Tyson Cale Boyd and the people at The Starlight for putting on the show that paid our travel expanses. Well why the fuck stop there, The Edmonton Jak’s for always rocking out with us, and all of you for supporting through the years. Cheers to all of you.

Dayglo Abortions are:
Murray (The cretin) Acton – guitar, lead vocs.
Matt Fiorito – guitar, backup vocals.
Blind Marc – Drums. Mike Jak – guitar.
Scott Henderson – bass guitar
Rob Lawless – Drums on smart food

IKITAN Release Two New Singles on Limited-Edition Cassette

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

IKITAN, a heavy post-rock trio, is proud to present “Darvaza y Brinicle”, its first limited-edition cassette, published by Taxi Driver Records.

The cassette will be released on Friday 3rd December 2021 and the two new songs, titled “Darvaza” and “Brinicle”, will be available on Taxi Driver’s Bandcamp page as well as on all the band’s digital stores.

The tape contains the two singles on side A, and “Twenty-Twenty Live at Forte Geremia” on side B, which was released digitally and as a video in June 2021.

Only 30 copies of the cassette will be available, and each one comes with a digital download of the two singles… and a BIC pen. The two songs will also be premiered on 666MRDoom’s YouTube channel on Thursday 2nd December 2021.

Listen to “Darvaza” and Pre-order the limited-edition cassette “Darvaza y Brinicle” (limited-edition: 30 copies).

“With a lot of new riffs under the belt since the release of “Twenty-Twenty”, and having had the opportunity to share “Live at Forte Geremia” with the world, it was the right time to publish some new music. We’ve been rehearsing a lot as a consequence of the prolonged state of emergency in Italy, and “Darvaza” and “Brinicle” are the first products of this increased musical productivity in IKITAN’s headquarters”, says the band.

Unusual natural phenomena and weird facts have always been fascinating for IKITAN; the name of the band itself represents the alleged Aztec god of the sound of the stones, as depicted in the cover of “Twenty-Twenty”. The Darvaza is in Turkmenistan whilst the Brinicle occurs in the Antarctic Ocean.

“Darvaza (“Door to Hell”, an artificially-created crater that’s been burning since the 70es) and Brinicle (a finger-of-death ice stalactite that kills everything it encounters in the water) represent two different yet complementary sides of our nature, devastating and powerful but ethereal and dream-like at the same time”, says IKITAN.

The idea of releasing the two singles as a cassette comes from Massimo Perasso, owner of Taxi Driver Records, an independent music label based in Genoa and born in 2009.

“We’re very happy to partner with Maso, a true legend in Genoa when it comes to heavy music, stoner and all types of interesting and cool projects, and his label Taxi Driver Records. We’ve always been fans of the label and its releases, and to be among some of Genoa’s (and beyond) best acts makes us very proud”, concludes IKITAN.

IKITAN was formed in Genoa, Italy, in 2019. The band’s self-released debut “Twenty-Twenty” is a one-track instrumental EP lasting 20 minutes and 20 seconds, and it was published on 20th November 2020. The EP was well-received globally by the press and fans alike.
As it was impossible to play live due to the pandemic, IKITAN recorded its first live video, “Twenty-Twenty Live at Forte Geremia”, in March 2021. It was recorded on top of an old military fort (819 m asl) and it captures the band playing “Twenty-Twenty” live for the first time, in a dramatic scenery between sea and mountains, and with no audience. The video of the concert, a tribute to generator parties, is available on YouTube.

The artwork for both “Twenty-Twenty” and “Darvaza y Brinicle” is crafted by Luca Marcenaro.

Save the date! “Darvaza y Brinicle” will be published on 3rd December 2021 in a limited-edition cassette by Taxi Driver Records and it will be available on the label’s Bandcamp.

“Twenty-Twenty Live at Forte Geremia” is available on IKITAN’s Bandcamp as a name-your-price digital download as well as live video on YouTube. IKITAN’s debut EP “Twenty-Twenty” is available as a limited-edition (200 copies) digipack with a free poster and sticker as well as a digital download on Bandcamp.

BEHEMOTH set the world on fire when the Polish masters of black metal took an abandoned church in rural Poland to perform a worldwide stream event in the heart of the pandemic lockdown. After over a year since the show’s premiere, ‘In Absentia Dei’ returns on a range of deluxe formats for fans to relive the danger and drama that took place on that fateful night in 2020. The live release will hit the shelves on December 17th, yet today, you’ll be able to witness another incendiary excerpt from the show: their classic anthem “Prometherion” from 2007. Follow BEHEMOTH down into the old ruins of the secret church and watch the new video here:

Stream or download the song here: https://behemoth.bfan.link/prometherion

Nergal states:
“Legions! For some of you, The Apostasy is the ultimate Behemoth experience. Here, we present to you a song from that record which we filmed during IN ABSENTIA DEI! Enjoy it!”

“In Absentia Dei” will be available as digital album, digibook and 3LP Vinyl in various colours on December 17th. All Nuclear Blast triple LPs come with a premium 20-page booklet as well as a cut-out, build-at-home model of the actual church that BEHEMOTH performed in.

Preorder the release in the format of your choice here: https://bfan.link/in-absentia-dei

The event was said to set a new standard for streaming events in the future and this was something BEHEMOTH set out to achieve from the start. Produced by Grupa 13, “In Absentia Dei” was presented as a show of four parts, woven with high-production theatrics and even a hellish flames emanating from all parts of the sacred building.

BEHEMOTH released their latest full-length, “I Loved You At Your Darkest”, in 2018 to vast critical acclaim. “I Loved You At Your Darkest” marked a milestone in the history of the band, being not only their most successful album, but also an audiovisual masterpiece: from its detailed, blasphemous artwork, to the highly vicious, yet deeply emotional tracks, BEHEMOTH once again played with fire – and ignited a wildfire burning the narrow minded bigotry of Christianity down to the ground.

THE ALIVE Release New Single/Lyric Video ‘High On You’

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

US hard rockers THE ALIVE have released a new single and lyrics video for the track High On You, a song taken from their forthcoming album Turned Up To Destroy due out via Sliptrick Records on January 18th.

Here’s what the band had to say; “High On You is basically about being in a relationship with someone that didn’t go very well. I think everyone has been in one of those at one point or another. At the time you think you are in heaven and everything is going so good, but in reality when it’s over and you look back you realize that you were in a haze the whole time and things weren’t as great as you thought they were. Sometimes it’s hard to see when you’re deep into it but as the old saying goes …hindsight is 20/20. A relationship can be just as addictive as being on drugs and when it’s good it’s like a great high and when it’s bad it’s like coming down during a hard crash. So yeah at some point we are all high on someone, it’s just that the high doesn’t always last.”

MARILLION to Release New Album “An Hour Before It’s Dark” on March 4th, First Single Revealed

earMUSIC is delighted to announce the release of MARILLION’s 20th studio album “An Hour Before It’s Dark” on March 4th, 2022. A first peek into the album is available as of now with the single “Be Hard On Yourself”.

“An Hour Before It’s Dark” – Whether it’s the last hour you were allowed to play outside as a child before you had to go home, a reference to the fight against time in relation to the climate crisis or the last minutes in a person’s life, Marillion once again put their finger on the pulse of time. Be it social, political, or personal issues, Marillion have never minced words and have always found a way to combine them with their own unique sound, known for incredible songwriting, melodies and top-notch musicianship, while swimming against the tide, not bending to norms and limitations.

The first single “Be Hard On Yourself” from the upcoming album couldn’t be a better example of this.

Listen to “Be Hard On Yourself” here: https://Marillion.lnk.to/BeHardOnYourself

“Despite the seemingly bleak contemplations across this album – the virus, our mortality, medical science, care, AND Leonard Cohen (ha ha) – the overall feeling of the music is surprisingly upbeat. I think the band are as on form as they ever were really, and the addition of Choir Noir has added another new soul and colour to things”

Like its predecessor, 2016’s critically acclaimed and chart-topping album “F*** Everyone And Run (F E A R)”, “An Hour Before It’s Dark” was recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios, which also provided the perfect backdrop for the carefully chosen selection of behind-the-scenes footage in form of a documentary on the making of the album and a performance of “Murder Machines” from Real World that will be released together with the album.

Marillion are currently on the road with the “Light At The End Of The Tunnel” tour in the UK, which will be followed by several Marillion weekends until summer 2022 and a major European tour in autumn 2022.

Founded in 1979, British rock band Marillion have, over the course of 19 studio albums, become one of the most commercially successful progressive rock bands of the 1980s and are still one of the most outstanding representatives of their genre. Marillion embraced the potential of the internet for both their commercial approach and to interact with their audience, long before most.
