JOSEPH WILLIAMS and The Players Club / Mascot Label Group present “Wilma Fingadoux,” the third video and track release from his upcoming new studio album out February 26th.

He offers, “’Wilma Fingadoux’ is the latest in a long line of musical messages, songs and poems to my mother who died at the age of 41. I was 13 years old. This song is a reflection of the painful yet wonderful place in my memory where I can speak to her.  Also singing with me are my daughters Hannah Ruick and Ray Williams. Their voices, their presence, makes me so proud of my beautiful girls and their unparalleled talent. And I feel relief also because in this way they too can speak to her through music the way I always have. My mom had such a sharp sense of humor. The title of the song is the punch line of one of my favorite jokes she used to tell…she taught me how to feel funny deep inside! This lyric is my release letter.  Miss you Momma! Xojoe.” Steve Lukather and Joseph Williams will both release new records simultaneously later this month.

Earlier, Williams presented “Never Saw You Coming,” which can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/FTJ5KHcnWiM. He then followed with “Liberty Man,” which can be enjoyed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOAJb5i3i8M. On Luke’s end, the first reveal was “Run To Me” which can be screened here: https://youtu.be/mvbHYmh7VYY. Second came, “Serpent Soul”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTJVqXGj1dc.  Just recently the title track for Luke’s “I Found The Sun Again” was shared accompanied by the clip which can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtQlrxyGL0I

ARIELLE Premieres “Peace Of Mind” Music Video

American guitarist and singer songwriter ARIELLE has premiered the music video for her new single “Peace Of Mind.” Watch the music video for “Peace of Mind” HERE. 

The single is taken from Arielle’snew album ‘Analog Girl In A Digital World’ released Friday 7th May 2021. Spotify is streaming the single. Pre-order the album on CD, vinyl and digital. 

The album features Arielle’s new signature guitar The BMG Arielle. The guitar is released March 2021 and can be pre-ordered from Brian May Guitars. 

“This is the very first guitar that Brian May guitars has ever offered that is not based on my original Red Special,” says Brian May. “Designed by, and named after Arielle, it’s a new dimension. To understand why this guitar was irresistible to me, you have to hold her in your hands. The guitar is light, smooth and agile. She sings like a bird.”  

Arielle is a 21st century classic rock artist who recorded half of the new album in digital, and the other half in tape, to try and capture the impact music of the 60’s and 70’s had on her.  

As a writer, guitarist, and singer, when Arielle produced this album, she insisted on recording each song in one take. Recording the  album in studios in Nashville and Austin, Texas, Arielle set out to capture the  energy of each city and their musicians. 

Continues Brian, “Arielle is an awesome musician. She is a truly phenomenal player, with an ability to produce the most beautiful tones as well technical mastery.  We collaborated in making the Arielle a new mission to guitarists everywhere – to open up a new  door to excellence.” 

“Arielle’s playing reaches places I never knew existed,” says Brian. “I believe this guitar will do the same.”  

Arielle is a young woman who was born in the wrong generation. At times facing depression in being a child of the new  millennium versus the boom of musically creativity that emerged in the Sixties and thrived through the Seventies. And on a broader basis, a time even earlier where things were done by hand, with a level of craft that could not be hidden behind technology.

“I project those principles inside my music,” says Arielle. “The album takes you on a journey through the trials, tribulations, and confusion of an old-school artist in a fast-paced world. 

Track Listing

  1. Dialup
  2. Digital World
  3. Peace Of Mind
  4. This Is Our Intervention
  5. Still A Man
  6. Inside & Outside
  7. I’d Rather Be In England

Incendium and Heavy Metal Entertainment announce the launch of Maledictus Athenaeum, a CRADLE OF FILTH comic book anthology series, under all-new music focused OPUS imprint.

In the ruined halls of the Maledictus Athenaeum lie occult histories, sealed records, and cursed artifacts – this unholy archive explores the far corners of CRADLE OF FILTH’s musical legacy, a vast universe of Ageless Vampires, Mythical Creatures and Vengeful Gods. The Countess, The Huntress, Lilith, The Manticore, and many more, will be revisited in stories from an all-star roster of comics talent from the pages of Heavy Metal Magazine and beyond.

Maledictus Athenaeum begins as a 5-issue series. The first print edition of each issue will be released as a prestige format limited edition collectible comic book, featuring cardstock covers, specialty foil treatments, glossy pages, and individual numbering. Each first printing will be limited to 2500 copies at $16.66, and available to order from https://incendium.online/collections/cradle. The first issue is available to order now and ships May 2021.

‘’CRADLE OF FILTH’s collaboration with Incendium for the forthcoming comic series and action figures provides an incredible opportunity for fans to indulge and explore the mythologies and murk at the heart of the band’s lyrical compositions,” says Dani Filth. “As an avid collector of Horror figures for decades now – citing the enclosing walls and shelves of my home crammed with toys and memorabilia as an example – I was only too eager to embrace this emphatic union with a company that is as excited about bringing our brand of lascivious Gothic darkness to glorious undeath as we are.”

Incendium CEO Llexi Leon adds, “Dani has created such a rich mythology across Cradle Of Filth’s discography and we’re thrilled to explore those dark fantasy worlds with our Maledictus Athenaeum anthology, an ever growing gothic library that’s sure enthral readers with an irresistible blend of horror, romance, mystery, and mayhem – featuring incredible visuals to inspire all manner of toys and collectibles across our lines.”

The cursed tales of Maledictus Athenaeum will extend beyond the printed page into toys and collectibles. Dani Filth and the iconic Succubus of CRADLE OF FILTH’s 2001 album ‘Bitter Suites to Succubi’ make up Wave 1 of the CRADLE OF FILTH action figure range, also available to pre-order for $29.95 each from  https://incendium.online/collections/cradle, Shipping June 2021.

Filth adds, “To begin with are figures of ‘yours ghoulie’ Dani Filth resplendent in my onstage battle outfit; accompanied to war by the cruel, domineering Succubus from the Bitter Suites To Succubialbum cover art, who is explored further in the first of many comic book adaptations to be unleashed in Maledictus Athenaeum. Both figures come delivered with classic action figure aplomb, whilst the comic book art is both visceral and evocative and is totally stunning.
Naturally we cannot wait for fans and collectors alike to get their claws on these unique, exquisite treasures and given the depth of CRADLE OF FILTH’s extensive discography and with a wealth of dark occultisms to draw upon – having tackled the morbid and sordid tales of Elizabeth Bathory, Gilles de Rais, Lucifer and Lilith as full-blown concept albums already- our collaboration with Incendium promises to be a marriage forged in Hell that prospers for aeons…”
