Ohio’s notorious bloodsucking death metal outfit SANGUISUGABOGG get animated in the new and NSFW video for “Dead As Shit.”
Watch the visual spectacle, which offers a unique take on the state of the world while featuring the band in cartoon form, here.
“We’ve always wanted to do an animated video,” the band says. “Check it out — we are fucking cartoons. We hope you like weed.”
“Getting high as fuck and animating blood to this song was a pleasure,” says the video’s animator Hallhammer. “I hope the characters involved don’t put me on a list.”
The song appears on the band’s forthcoming Century Media Records debut, Tortured Whole, which arrives on March 26. It’s available for pre-order here.
Sanguisugabogg craft uncompromising, in-your-face, and not-for-the-weak death metal that siphons inspiration from the ’80s and ’90s traditions of acts like Cannibal Corpse, Mortician, and GWAR, as well as Dethklok.
The band previously shared the NSFW video for the new song “Menstrual Envy.”
LAMB OF GOD have revealed plans to issue a live album with two bonus tracks along with a DVD performance of “Lamb Of God” on March 26th via Nuclear Blast.
Pre-orders for the set are available now, along with the bonus track ‘Ghost Shaped People.’ The live CD and DVD features the first of LAMB OF GOD‘s two ultra-successful live stream events from September 2020, in which the band performed their album “Lamb Of God” in full, plus an encore of four songs. The DVD includes a new director’s cut with bonus material.
In addition, the band has unveiled a visualizer for ‘Ghost Shaped People’ that you can watch here:
Originally, released June 19 of last year, LAMB OF GOD’s first new album in five years was met with universal acclaim – not only among major rock journalists, but with all strata of metal fans around the world.
But critics, media and the industry aside, perhaps the most telling statistic is the year-end US Metal Radio chart, where the new album dominated at #1 by a massive margin (over 2,000 more spins than the album at #2). “Lamb Of God” spent nine weeks in the #1 spot and never left the top 10 since debuting on the chart in February. Metal Radio is the lifeblood of the US metal world, largely staffed by college students and regional tastemakers, playing the music that they know their local metal fans want to hear.
LAMB OF GOD’s self- titled album reached the coveted #1 spot on Consequence of Sound’s Top 30 Metal + Hard Rock Albums of 2020, stating, “Along with bringing in the New Wave of American Heavy Metal, LAMB OF GOD have been one of music’s most important acts over the past 20 years. From their phenomenal instrumentation to the potency of their sociopolitical lyricism, LAMB OF GOD remain titans of the genre, continuing to craft remarkable works of thrilling and captivating adrenaline… also proves to be a profound work of heavy metal… perhaps the most important metal album of 2020. It’s not only the album of LAMB OF GOD’s career, but the heavy album of the year.”
At iTunes, LAMB OF GOD has landed at number one on the Overall, Rock and Metal iTunes album chart upon release.

ROCKSTAR FRAME are set to release their third studio album “Stand up…Jump ’n’ Fly” on February 12th, via Volcano Records.
ROCKSTAR FRAME (RSF) was born in 2012 by the will of drummer Max Klein and, after a few recording songs, immediately caught the attention of some sponsors, who finance the first productions. In 2014 they signed a record deal with Musicarchy Media from London, and in 2015 they released the debut album “Rock’n’Roll Mafia”, welcomed by great reviews all over the world, “Song of the Day” on REVOLVER Mag in the USA, as well as being celebrated on FIREWORKS (Uk), BLACK VELVET (Uk) and many others. Between the end of 2016 and the first months of 2017, RSF play in two international tours, Eastern Europe and Russia, where they are contacted by the management of the swedish Backyard Babies to open their Moscow live. At the end of Russian tour, the second album “Bulletproof” is released, but the band falls apart due to internal problems, after some irremediable conflicts. After a few appearances, the new line-up consolidates at the end of 2019, with the entrance of argentina singer Leo Guillan, the Brazilian bass player Ronam Destefani, and the guitarist Ian Darrell. RSF sign with Volcano Records in 2020 and meanwhile complete their third studio album: “Stand up … Jump ‘n’ Fly”, ready to be released on February 12th, 2021.
“Stand up…Jump ’n’ Fly” tracklist:

Spain/France -based Melodic Death Metallers ANCIENT SETTLERS have unleashed the lyric video for their first blasting single ‘Diamond Eyes‘, taken from the band’s debut EP “Autumnus”, coming out in February 2021. The video was edited by Gustavo Sazes the mastermind.
ANCIENT SETTLERS was formed in 2020 by Rex Chiesa & Herman Riera (Ex-Haboryn), Rene González (Ex-Aesthesis), Emmy Reyes and Antony Hamäläinen (Meridian Dawn, Former Nightrage & Armageddon). The band tries to explore the frontiers of modern death metal, including some melodic and atmospheric tones. Regarding lyrics, the band found the inspiration in the recent tragedies that affects the earth and the human race, trying to encourage all those who are looking for something more.
ANCIENT SETTLERS line-up: Rex Chiesa: Guitar. Herman Riera: Drums. Antony Hamäläinen: Voice. Rene González: Keyboards & Synth. Emmy Reyes: Bass.
When one finds themselves at the proverbial crossroads – face to face with the Devil himself – who wouldn’t choose the left hand path? Honestly, evil is too enticing, too strong, and Hell has the best music anyway. Hailing from Portland, Oregon, heavy metal mongrels BEWITCHER made their pact with Lucifer years ago, and have been walking the dark path ever since.
BEWITCHER are thrilled to announce the release of the video clip for “Mystifier (White Night City)”, the 2nd song taken from their upcoming 3rd studio album, “Cursed Be Thy Kingdom”, that is set for a release on April 16th, 2021. Click HERE for “Mystifier (White Night City) video.
M. von Bewitcher (vox & guitars) comments: “Abundant with NWOBHM inspiration, colorful guitar work and lyrics steeped in historical legend, this track sees the band adding some melody to the mysticism. Dark forces rise when an imposing figure in black with a taste for wine and women comes to power. And when he falls, he brings the world around him down as well…”
Recorded at The Captain’s Quarters in Ventura, California by Armand John Anthony (Night Demon), and mixed by Cameron Webb (Motörhead, Megadeth), “Cursed Be Thy Kingdom” is a powerhouse, heavy-metal-rock-’n’-roll record forged in the white hot fires of Hell. The front cover was done by Paolo Girardi (Power Trip and many more).
Rock ’n’ roll is the Devil’s music, and through “Cursed Be Thy Kingdom”, BEWITCHER invites you to join them at the crossroads, drink from the chalice of rock ’n’ roll, then ritualistically sell your soul to the dark lord himself. M. von Bewitcher puts it best, “The Devil is always ready to make the deal…”
Today, influential Swedish rockers ELECTRIC BOYS release the single “Super God”, the first to be taken from the band’s upcoming album “Ups!de Down”, which will be released by Mighty Music on April 30th. “Super God” is also released as a fantastic music video, which can be seen here, on the Mighty Music official YouTube page.
Singer/guitarist Conny Bloom comments about the song: “Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it’s Super God! Here’s some wah-wah/conga groove to take you higher!“.
“Super God” can be streamed download via this link.
The Electric Boys are much loved for their idiosyncratic combination of hard rock and other forms of music such as funk beginning with their first album “Funk-O-Metal Carpet Ride” in 1989. On April 30th 2021 the band will release worldwide their seventh album “Ups!de Down” which continues and advances this fusion of music styles to make something of their very, very own.
Recorded at Ghost Ward studios like their successful previous album “The Ghost Ward Diaries” and co-produced with David Castillo the album showcases the songwriting and performing talents of founder members Conny Bloom on guitar and vocals and Andy Christell on bass while also introducing ‘Slim’ Martin Thomander on guitar. Jolle Atlagic plays all the drums on the album, as the band’s original drummer Niclas Sigevall – still very much part of the band – could not leave LA due to the pandemic.

The album reflects the turbulent times of this year and spontaneously and organically formed into a concept album tackling adversity and fearmongering and championing the human fighting spirit and ability to transcend even the most difficult situations to find hope and victory over life’s circumstances. As such the album taps into the collective consciousness of 2020, being contemporary while also drawing on a wide variety of influences such as Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple, Bowie, 50’s Rock and Roll, late Beatles and even the Sisters of Mercy. Probably less funky than some of the band’s earlier material it is no less eclectic and provides a potent cocktail reflecting the history of rock and roll and the light and darkness of existence.
“You can see the light at the end of the tunnel rather than simply the runaway train” in songs like “This Is Not The End”. When things are This big and seem out of control you can reverse it and gain control by letting it go.” (Conny Bloom). The freethinking and rebellious spirit of the band is alive and well in this latest album and the belief in the power of the message of music and its ability to change the world.
People commonly mention to the band that Electric Boys songs have changed their lives, inspiring them to take up instruments and how much the band’s songs have meant to their fans. Known for his fine guitar work and languidly cool persona Conny Bloom is also recognized for his work with Hanoi Rocks and Ginger in the Wildhearts. Andy Christell also joined Hanoi Rocks with Conny and with his distinctive top knot is the epitome of steady, bellbottom-fluttering rock bass.
The band has a tour planned in Sweden and is hoping to widen and include more dates worldwide as circumstances permit.
“Ups!de Down” will be released in digital, LP (four different formats) and CD formats by Mighty Music on 30th April 2021.
