Gold-selling and three-time Grammy-nominated hard rock heavyweights KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have announced their rescheduled headline tour for Winter 2022.

KsE, recognized by Forbes as “one of modern metal’s most cherished acts,” will bring The Atonement Tour back on the road to clubs and theaters across the U.S. and into Canada. The trek kicks off on January 28 in Pittsburgh and runs through March 12 in Philadelphia.

All dates are below. Tickets are onsale here: killswitchengage.com

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.

This tour package was originally planned for Spring 2020 but was ultimately postponed two dates into the original run due to the global shutdown that was a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. It will now include all of the rescheduled dates as well as several new locations across the U.S.

“The long wait is finally over,” says KsE singer Jesse Leach. “We worked very hard to carefully piece this tour back together properly. After the tour was shut down two days in when it started in 2020, we are bringing it back! We are honored and stoked to have August Burns Red and Howard Jones and the boys in Light the Torch along to make this an ‘all killer, no filler’ line up.“

Jones echoes the sentiment, saying, “FINALLY! We get to pick up where we left off on the Atonement tour with KsE and ABR! We couldn’t be more excited to resume with the same lineup, and additional dates have been added so don’t miss this noisy party. Now, stop reading this and get your tickets. GO! This will be a tour to remember and you do not want to miss it!“

When CATTLE DECAPITATION released one of the most unflinching albums of 2019, Death Atlas, American fans were left in a void as tours were shut down due to the pandemic. Today, the San Diego grinders announce the DEATH…AT LAST Tour, also featuring THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE, CREEPING DEATH and EXTINCTION A.D.

CATTLE DECAPITATION frontman Travis Ryan declares, “We are ecstatic to be able to finally announce a US tour after almost two years of inactivity in the States due to the pandemic! Our latest album and what we consider to be the bands finest hour in our entire 25 year history, Death Atlas, will finally get its due in the States. Before things shut down, we had nailed down what we felt was our best live set we had ever done and had played it in Australia, New Zealand and Japan but were cut off before we could bring it to the states after you all had fully digested it. Well, we’re happy to say we’ll be taking some time out of our busy writing schedule to do this album some justice LIVE starting this January. We’ll be bringing along some bands whose names fit nicely in the aesthetic of Death Atlas including THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE, CREEPING DEATH and EXTINCTION A.D.! We ALL deserve everything that’s coming! DEATH…AT LAST!“

Tickets go on sale Friday, November 12th.

“Stargazer” is the fifth track from British rock band RAINBOW‘s 1976 album Rising. Four Los Angeles’ musicians, John Evermore of Diamonds Hadder and friends, Doug Weiand, Joey Mancaruso, Kent Hiltz and James Staples teamed up to debut their cover video for this legendary song.

Audio Info: Recorded at Light Black Productions in Los Angeles Ca 2020 – Engineered and Mixed by Rob Black. Video Info:Filmed by Rob Mestas of “Defiant Digital Productions” and John Evermore in Los Angeles 2021 Edited by John Evermore.

This song and video were done for the love of heavy metal and as nothing more than a tribute to such an amazing song and record which we all grew up listening to and admiring.

Band Members Include:

Doug Weiand – All Guitars – is a composer, session and touring guitar player based in Los Angeles. An artist influenced mostly by heavy metal and rock yet with the sensibilities and experience in jazz, classical music and rock fusion as well. Legato technique and exotic scales approaches are very present in his playing, resulting in a distinguished “outside” sound.” Insta @dougweiand

Joey Mancaruso – Drums – is both a touring and session drummer hailing from the greater Los Angeles basin. He has worked with a number of artists ranging from Robert Hecker (Redd Kross) to Stephen Carpenter (Deftones). The main bulk of his work is rooted in Heavy Metal/Prog/Jazz. Insta @joenan_the_barbarian

James Staples – Bass (Recording) – Raised in Ventura County and brought up in the Ventura County music scene, James Lionheart took an opportunity on bass on short notice after many years of guitar playing, once secondary has now become his main instrument of choice. Heavily inspired by old school rock and metal genres, Lionheart carries a sound that really captivates the ears. Insta @lionheartbassmaster

Kent Hiltz – Bass (Video Performance) – is a vocalist, guitarist, bassist, and drummer with a lifelong love of all things heavy metal. His musical journey has taken him from Indiana, to Nashville, touring the United States and Japan, and now Los Angeles. Insta @kentdavidhiltz

NAPALM DEATH Launch New Video for ‘Contagion’; Announce “Campaign For Musical Destruction” European Tour 2022

Posted by tarjavirmakari on November 9, 2021
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Napalm Death. Leave a comment

UK Grindcore pioneers NAPALM DEATH are pleased to be able to continue to promote their current and much acclaimed album “Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism”…

While currently on the road all across North American as part of the “Scumdogs 30th Anniversary Tour” with Gwar as well as labelmates EyeHateGod, NAPALM DEATH are now debuting a promotional video directed by Marc Nickel & Ljuba Generalova for the track “Contagion” off “Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism”.

Check it out here:

NAPALM DEATH frontman Mark ‘Barney’ Greenway comments about the special topic covered within the song and clip as follows: “Although we can only hope to provide a snapshot in four-minutes, what we wanted to try to illustrate with the “Contagion” video is how difficult it has been made to do something as fundamental as moving freely as a human being. There is downright absurdity in that some people have to resort to mortal danger doing things like riding atop trains whilst others can move seamlessly and freely without a second thought. We advocate for an end to borders of all description. Complementing that, the sweaty live footage was shot brilliantly by Ljuba Generalova in NAPALM DEATH’s virtual second home of Berlin and the music, you might say, just motors along like a train.”

And NAPALM DEATH bassist Shane Embury, who wrote the music and the lyrics for “Contagion”, added as follows: “Musically, “Contagion” is geared towards manic intense live mosh pit action but with an added 4AD noise quirk homage chorus! Also, having so many friends in the Latin community, through a couple of them I learned and read about the perilous journeys that families embark on for the chance at a better life. As a parent, I think of my children’s future all the time – the things we take for granted I wanted to reflect lyrically!”

In other news, NAPALM DEATH have just announced a next edition of their “Campaign For Musical Destruction” tour across Europe for February/March 2022, this time featuring support by Doom, Siberian Meatgrinder and Show Me The Body. Here is a full list of the dates for that run:

THE HALO EFFECT: Band Feat. Gothenburg Icons Release First Ever Single & Music Video ‘Shadowminds’

Posted by aliblackdiamond on November 9, 2021
Posted in: News. Tagged: Nuclear Blast, The Halo Effect. Leave a comment

The year of the corona-pandemic, when the world was forced into a standstill, five old friends finally put an old idea in motion. The result is a brand new band, THE HALO EFFECT, who recently inked a contract with Nuclear Blast.

The members of THE HALO EFFECT are not only masters of their domain, but also pioneers of the Gothenburg melodeath scene, who, at some point, have all been members of fellow Gothenburg icons IN FLAMES: Lead guitarists Niclas Engelin (ENGEL) and Jesper Strömblad (CYHRA), lead singer and lyricist Mikael Stanne (DARK TRANQUILLITY), bassist Peter Iwers, and drummer Daniel Svensson.
Today, the band are giving metal fans all over the world a taste of their sound with debut single ‘Shadowminds’, that comes together with a music video. Its brooding atmosphere, melodic riffs and harsh vocals provide a perfect example of what THE HALO EFFECT is about.

Watch the music video for ‘Shadowminds’:

The band comments: “We are incredibly excited to unveil this new band with one of the first songs that we wrote together. We felt strongly that this was the right direction for the band. Finding identity, finding a drive and passion is what the song is about and also what this band is about. What drove us to do this in the first place, what obstacles have we overcome in order to fully commit to this lifestyle? It’s about how easy it is to get lost if you lose focus and passion for what you do.
With the video we wanted to convey the emptiness of the city in the early stages of the pandemic and what we saw outside of the studio as we were writing but we also love 
the cool dystopic imagery so we made the city look even more barren and destroyed. Enjoy!”

The initial thought behind THE HALO EFFECT was to go back to the roots and explore the classic Gothenburg Sound, and the band manage just that. Their new take on the iconic sound is sure to appeal to fans of the classic melodeath sound.

The band have also announced their first ever tour, accompanying Swedish death metal berserkers AMON AMARTH and US thrashers MACHINE HEAD on 31 dates throughout Europe and the UK.

The band comments: “We could not be more excited to partner with Cobra Agency for our first tour of Europe together with metal giants AMON AMARTH and MACHINE HEAD. Working together with people who are passionate about the road, the crews, the bands and the fans means a lot to us and doing this together is something we very much look forward to. See you in Sept/Oct!“
