DARK STATION released the re-imagined version of their single “GHOST” to all major platforms. This version of the single will be included on their upcoming 5-song EP titled Afterlight that features re-imagined songs from their previous album Down in the Dark. In addition, the band announced the “Afterlight Tour” in support of the EP that begins on September 11th in Las Vegas, Nevada at Taverna Costera. See the dates and details in the flyer, below.

“I really wanted to paint a picture of how much effort it takes to make a relationship work. There are ups and downs, but in the end someone makes the ride worthwhile. It can be the most beautiful and the most painful thing ever. This song is about one of those wounds that never fully heals” says the band’s vocalist, Nathan Spades.

“We filmed this video in Big Bear, California at a spot called the Dam Keeper’s house. The building was constructed in 1890, so it had seen better days, but what’s left of it made for the perfect background to our music video. Robyn August handled the directing and editing duties again on this one” adds Kyle Ort, the band’s guitarist.

In the spring of 2018, five Southern California musicians came together, leaving their respective projects behind, to form a new band. A band with the ability to seamlessly transition from crushingly heavy riffs to unforgettably haunting melodies and lyrics. With inspiration drawing from the top late 90’s and early 00’s rock bands, there’s a certain familiarity to the music that’s refreshing and yet evolved into what can only be described as Dark Station. With rock on the rise, Dark Station has risen to the challenge of aiding in rock’s revival.

This is the new age. This is Dark Station.

Doro says, “It was always my dream to play the “Triumph And Agony” album in its entirety live. The first time we did it was at Sweden Rock followed by a big tour in the USA and Spain, and more large festival shows like Graspop and Norway Rock.”
Now it’s finally done: a great live album/Blu-ray called “Triumph And Agony Live”. Continues Doro, “It’s one of my favorite records we’ve ever done! It includes some of our big classic anthems like ‘All We Are,’ ‘Für Immer,’ and ‘I Rule The Ruins’ as well as fan favorites like ‘Metal Tango,’ ‘Three Minute Warning,’ ‘Kiss Of Death,’ and ‘East Meets West,’ not to forget headbanging album opener ‘Touch Of Evil.’ I’m super excited to let the fans hear and see it!”

Croatian metallers KRYN have released the official music video for their new single “The Riven Heart”, a somber story about a tragic loss…a heart forever broken beyond repair.

Recorded at G.I.S. Studios by Matej Zec and mixed and mastered in Pitchback studios in Germany by Aljoscha Sieg.
Cover art by Vastness Inside.

KRYN are … Creatively fresh ideas, perfect blend of heavy riffs and melodic-atmospheric parts with impressive vocal presentation is what really makes this band apparent in the sea of bands copying themselves and somehow forgetting the idea of writing good music!

SHAMAN’S HARVEST Release New Video ‘Voices’

SHAMAN’S HARVEST have released a new video for ‘Voices’.

Singer Nathan Hunt shares, “’Voices,’ mostly was one of the songs written in the small hours of the morning. After exhausting and frustratingly scrapping an idea for a different tune, Voices just came organically. The melody effortlessly wormed its way into the song. Then we had a choice.  Whether to make it a verse chorus bridge a/b/c type song or to make it more of an epic linear style complete with guitar solo. We chose the latter, and brought in some group vocals backed by a stomp clap groove that gives the song an anthem feel the album needed.” Guitarist Josh Hamler adds, “’Voices’ is a song that blends dark and light. From the somber verses to the lifted anthemic choruses, it captures the full spectrum of emotion brought on by your own worst enemy… yourself.”   

Stream ‘Voices’ at https://smarturl.it/shamansharvest

Shaman’s Harvest has released six albums prior, with a combined 250 million plus streams of the band’s repertoire.  The majority of those are in the U.S., with 200 million plays. Europe accounts for 45 million, with other continents amassing the additional 5 million. To date, Shaman’s Harvest has sold over 100,000 albums and 415,000 singles.  At radio, the band’s last album yielded two Top 30 Active Rock singles in “The Come Up” and “Devil In Our Wake.” The prior album, and first with Mascot Label Group, Smokin’ Hearts and Broken Guns enjoyed massive success at the format with four Top 40 Active Rock singles, the highest chart position being #11 with “In Chains.”

They have toured with a who’s who in Rock, amongst whom are Godsmack, Nickelback, AC/DC, Cheap Trick, Alice In Chains, Shinedown and Seether alongside others. They’ve been a consistent draw at festivals that include Rock On The Range, Rocklahoma, Carolina Rebellion, Rock USA, Rockin’ The Rivers, Rock Carnival, and on the Shiprocked cruise.  This new track sets the tone for what’s to come. A new album that unequivocally captures a band looking forward, not repeating their creative past.
