The mighty KREATOR are proud to announce their fifteenth studio album, “Hate Über Alles,” which will be released on June 3rd, 2022. Five years after their highly acclaimed album “Gods Of Violence” (2017), peaking at #1 in the German album charts, the genre-defining band are proud to present this 11-track behemoth.

For 37 years, KREATOR has spear-headed a thrash metal crusade, inspiring generations of metal heads and musicians alike. The collision of traditional and contemporary values is a sentiment that Mille Petrozza has breathed in to the soul of this monumental new album; recruiting visionary producer Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Cavalera Conspiracy, Ghostmane and Turnstile) from Philadelphia to work with the band at the legendary Hansa Studio in Berlin. “Hate Über Alles” features gorgeously grim cover artwork by renowned artist Eliran Kantor (Testament, Thy Art Is Murder, Helloween), serving a bold statement against hate and division in today’s society.

Mille Petrozza comments:
“Hate Über Alles reflects the time we’re living in. Everything is really loud and aggressive. The way we communicate has changed, thanks to social media. It causes a lot of imbalance. The world is in a state of disrepair. Life is not harmonic right now, it’s disharmonic… that’s where I was going with the title.”

Starting today, “Hate Über Alles” can be pre-ordered in various formats, including a noble 2LP+CD Box Set (scroll down for more details).

Today also marks the release of the first new KREATOR single, the vicious title track “Hate Über Alles,” for which the band has produced a thrilling music video that should be mandatory viewing for every metal fan!

Rivers of Nihil will be touring in support of their newest full-length, The Work, released last Fall on Metal Blade Records. Rivers of Nihil has never fit neatly into a box, but with 2018’s Where Owls Know My Name, they transcended all labels applied to them. Returning in 2021 with The Work, they’ve forged further into new territory, delivering an album that’s as cerebral as it is visceral, and that covers a staggering sonic range, definitively placing them in a category of their own. Inarguably a dense, heavy collection, The Work is far too dynamic to be considered a solely metal record and there is a genuine warmth that shows through, particularly tracks like “Wait” and the gorgeous “Maybe One Day.” Additionally, the band has incorporated far more clean vocals alongside the screaming that tears through many of the record’s heavier tracks. Courtesy of their friend Zach Strouse, saxophone once again adds extra layers of atmosphere to the collection, utilizing baritone, soprano, and alto saxes to great effect.

The Daisies kick open the gates in 2022 with “Rise Up (Live From Daisyland)”, the first of four live tracks to be released over the coming months.

After a two-and-a-half-year hiatus, THE DEAD DAISIES rose to the occasion in 2021. Fuelled by a sense of adventure and excitement within the camp to finally plug in their guitars, the band tore up stages playing songs from their Holy Ground album for the very first time.

The Like No Other Tour across the US & England/Wales, delivered twenty-six massive shows with frenzied audiences that were lapping up both the new songs and rockin’ out to the classics.

Over the festive break, the task to select a few of the best songs began and after listening through some of the recordings, four amazing versions of Daisies’ favourites stood out.
“Rise Up”, “Bustle And Flow”, “Long Way To Go” and an incredible extended fiery version of the Deep Purple classic “Burn” almost makes you feel like you were there…

The tracks were recorded and produced by our illustrious Sound Engineer, Tommy Dimitroff at the famous Rock City, Nottingham, UK. The guys played in front of a massive, storming crowd who didn’t stop rocking all night which in turn fired up the band with the results being simply amazing!

“Hey friends, check out this live recording of “Rise Up” from our UK tour last fall. It was a great night and we love the UK!!” – Doug Aldrich

Stream “Rise Up (Live From Daisyland)” on your favourite digital platforms, turn it up and check out the video with some epic footage from the “Like No Other” Tour as well!

Italian old school heavy metallers GUNJACK have released their third album “The Third Impact”.

To celebrate the event the band unveils the video for the new single “Nuke To Be Sure”.

“The song ‘Nuke To Be Sure’ is a tribute to one of the most beautiful sci-fi sagas ever created, Alien. The soundtrack is a fast groove while the setting is almost claustrophobic. You find yourself catapulted into a spaceship, struggling with some creature ready to sprout out at any moment!”, comments the band.

On “The Third Impact” the power trio from Milan heads towards a darker sound. Written during a difficult time for the humankind, the album is about awkward, introspective, and complicated topics. “The Third Impact” is a powerful mix of old and new school but remaining loyal to their roots.

“This is the third album, the third chapter, the third impact… Darker, rawer, more rock’n’roll than ever. Awkward truths will be brought to light, we will tell people what they don’t want to hear. And we’re going to do it a damn way… loud! Are you ready for the third impact?!”

  2. Blast N’ Roll
  3. Twirling On Your Grave
  4. The Tournament

  9. Nuke To Be Sure
  10. Metal Influencer
  11. The Thermopylae
  12. Heart Of Tank

GUNJACK project was born in 2017. The band features in its ranks Mr. Messerschmitt (Alessandro Dominizi) on voice/bass, Gamma Mörser (Fabio Cavestro) on guitars and M47 (Andrea Ornigotti) on drums. Three guys, three metalheads and three fans of old school metal decided to create a new band with scratching and powerful sound. Influenced by old school metal and big bands such as Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and many others, they use their music background to merge the old school riffs with a modern sound. The debut album “Totally Insane” was released in 2018, while the sophomore record “The Cult of Triblade” in 2019. GUNJACK’s live attitude is just loud music, booze, rock’n’roll and a crazy entertainment! A real drunk’n’roll experience to try!

Blues-Rockers BLINDSTONE Sign to Mighty Music

Mighty Music is proud to announce the signing of the Danish blues-rock power trio BLINDSTONE, a band with a solid past in which the label saw a brilliant future.

Guitarist and vocalist Martin Jepsen Andersen comments: “We are very excited about entering this new collaboration with Target Group / Mighty Music. Myself also being a member of Meridian, who have been working with Target for many years, we are no strangers to the label. Thus, we are also convinced that Target is the right place for Blindstone. We are very much looking forward to this new chapter in the 20-year history of Blindstone. Prepare for great things to come!“.

Blindstone is a true, old-school power trio, influenced by old giants like Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Robin Trower, Frank Marino, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. That is, we find ourselves in a place where blues rock and hard rock meet, where there is both raw strength and occasionally psychedelic high ceilings.

It’s a musical universe with the big riff at the forefront, where the music takes time, with plenty of room for improvisation, and expressive, equilibrist guitar solos of the old 70’s school.

Blindstone has nine albums in its name and has toured in a large part of Europe. Most recently, Blindstone has acted as a backing band for blues legend Walter Trout, at a number of successful concerts in Denmark.

FLICKERTAIL Release New Single ‘Evidence of Life (Live in the Studio)’

A four headed Irish-Australian rock hydra from Sydney’s inner west, FLICKERTAIL, (formerly The Bitter Sweethearts), played guitar-fuelled rock and roll exactly the way it’s supposed to be played. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Thin Lizzy, the Dubliners, Airbourne and The Darkness, the band honed their sound in the garages and booze dens of Sydney before hitting the road in 2015 to showcase their unique sound at every pub, club and back yard along Australia’s eastern coast.
 
‘Evidence of Life (Live in the Studio)’ is taken from the upcoming EP Afterlife. Afterlife is the posthumous EP from Sydney’s premier retro-rock band FLICKERTAIL. ‘Evidence of Life (Live in the Studio)’ is a belligerently optimistic ode to misspent youth. Through slinky and jubilant guitar hooks and the finest hi-hat work Sydney’s ever seen, they tell a story of no money, no jobs, and the time of their lives. 

Listen/Buy ‘Evidence Of Life (Live in the Studio)’ HERE

On Afterlife there are no overdubs, no studio magic, just the raw, unfiltered energy of a phenomenal live act at the zenith of their powers. 
 
Afterlife features five tales of kitchen-sink drama and ill-advised adventures recorded live in the studio. 
 
Each tune carries the band’s signature dual-guitar attack, heartfelt lyrics, and lead vocalist and chief songwriter Liam Whelan’s soulful, crooning voice.
