The coolest nights, you know, happen by chance. For THE HORNETS and the release of their first album, it was more or less like that. A band formed for fun, for leisure, to get out of the usual work routine, to give voice to some love failures, or to flip off a bad day, or simply to escape from other musical projects. Featuring nine tracks of pure and passionated Rock ‘n’ Roll energy, the band’s debut full length record, titled “Heavier Than A Stone”, will be coming out on July 16th via Go Down Records.

After the previously- released track “Female Creed“, THE HORNETS now unleashed the second single taken off the upcoming album.

Listen to “Superman (Nietzsche)” here:

“The ‘superman’, a talented figure, idolized and envied by all for some particular characteristic, but which at the same time creates discomfort and a peculiar annoyance that only very few are able to admit and show. Aren’t you one of those very few? Here is the right song! ‘Superman (Nietzsche)’, the second single from The Hornets is an edgy, neurotic song, played with particular vital energy with an undefined vocal line, but what does it matter – guitars do it!” the band comments.

Tracklist:

  1. Don’t Talk About Love
  2. Female Creed
  3. Superman (Nietzsche)
  4. Get Out (..Baby Get Out!)
  5. Fighting Man
  6. The Best
  7. 1997
  8. Rockstar’s Syndrome
  9. Not So Easy

“Heavier Than A Stone” will be coming out on July 16th via Go Down Records and is now available for pre-order HERE

With the 17th September set for the release of MONSTEREO‘s latest studio outing, Karisma Records have revealed details of “In the Hollow of a Wave”, the third full-length album the Bergen Rockers.
 
Known for over a decade as a band that serves up energetic rock songs, MONSTEREO have come up with an album that is by far their heaviest to date, with a sound that is richer and broader than anything they have ever produced.  With more keyboards, synths, and a variety of guitars, “In the Hollow of a Wave” is,  according to the band, an album of filled with “teeth-grinding riffs, big choruses and rock-solid grooves”.
 
And, as of today,  fans get their first taste of “In the Hollow of a Wave”, with the release of “A Sudden Rush” the first single from the album, which, according to MONSTEREO, is:
 
An all out, in-your-face rock and roll banger. Perfect for a late summer night drenched in beer and drunken conversations, or a 50/50 strawberry daquiri at a music festival. This is a classic 1970s rock tune, with blazing guitars and a speaker-ripping groove. A homage to legends such as AC/DC and Grand Funk Railroad, topped with a smidge of inspiration from local produce in Bergen’s Electric Eye and The Megaphonic Thrift
 
“A Sudden Rush” is available to download or stream from a variety of services at https://karismarecords.fanlink.to/Monstereo_ASuddenRush

Whilst a video for “A Sudden Rush” can be seen below.

MONSTEREO’s  lineup consistis of Ola Utaaker Segadal on lead vocals and electric guitars, Øyvind Aase Fluge on electric guitars, Jørgen Stangeland Bach on Bass guitar, and Jon Bolstad on Drums. Together  they have created an album whose tracks represent the best of two worlds and  is filled with MONSTEREO’s trademark catchy melodies, heavy riffs and a big sound, which combine  with exploratory instrumental sections to  build towards a euphoric climax. 

With artwork by Robert Høyem, track listing for “In the Hollow of a Wave” is as follows:

  1. Third Eye Seeing
  2. A Sudden Rush
  3. Wings I: Everlasting Darkness
  4. Jigsaw

Napalm Records is proud to announce the signing of melodic/death metal juggernaut BRYMIR, hailing from Helsinki, Finland. The outfit features Joona Björkroth (Battle Beast) on guitars and started out to stir up the scene in 2011 with their debut full-length, Breathe Fire to the Sun, uniting folk metal influences with cinematic soundscapes and hard hitting, fast-paced melodic death impacts that became even more present on the sophomore record, Slayer of Gods (2016).

Since their formation in 2006, BRYMIR has shared stages with various greats like Children Of Bodom, Wolfheart, Ensiferum and Finntroll – just to name a few. After their highly anticipated third release, Wings of Fire (2019), and smashing festivals like Summer Breeze, Tuska Festival or the Nordic Metal Cruise, BRYMIR are currently working on new music, set for release via Napalm Records in 2022.

BRYMIR frontman and vocalist Viktor Gullichsen on the signing:
“We are beyond excited to announce that BRYMIR has signed a worldwide recording contract with the legendary label Napalm Records. With this newly-forged alliance we are headed towards a whole new level of opportunity and conquest. Are you ready for the coming storm? We sure as hell are!”

SOCIAL DISORDER Release Video For ‘Dreaming’, Debut Album Out Now

Swedish-born Anders “LA” Rönnblom, best known as the founder / songwriter for Killer Bee and X-Romance, and a member of Wolfpakk, short ago has launched a new project dubbed SOCIAL DISORDER. Call it a labour of love, as it features Rönnblom opening up his heart and soul. The debut album, „Love 2 Be Hated“, takes the listener on a journey through his life including his battle with alcoholism, personal demons, and his way back, all set to a backdrop of music inspired by his earliest influences.

Today we celebrate the release of this stunning new record and its journey that Rönnblom didn’t take on his own , however, chosing to enlist the help of a who’s-who of rock and metal greats, many of whom he has a personal connection to including Tracii Guns (L.A. Guns), Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot, Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake), Jeff Duncan (Armored Saint), Dave Stone (Rainbow), Snowy Shaw (King Diamond, Dream Evil, Mercyful Fate), Shawn Duncan (DC4) and Leif Ehlin (Perfect Plan). Social Disorder’s voice is provided by Thomas Nordin, a previously undiscovered Swedish singer who delivers Rönnblom’s songs with power and grit that perfectly captures the era of classic no-nonsense rock.

“The first song we did was ‘Dreaming’ and he nailed it,” says Rönnblom. “Then he sent me ‘Sail Away’ and he wasn’t that comfortable with it in the beginning, but I told him to change what he needed to change to make it work for him. When I heard the backing vocals on the song I was blown away, Thomas he was afraid they sounded too gospel. I told him ‘No, I love it….” and we kept them. I’m so blown away by everybody that played on the album because they performed the songs the way I heard them in my head.”

A brand-new videoclip for „Dreaming“ has been released today. Watch it here:
