Nuclear Blast is proud to announce the signing of Arizona’s GO AHEAD AND DIE. The band features vocalist and guitarist Max Cavalera joining forces with his son, singer, guitar and bass player, Igor Amadeus Cavalera as well as Zach Coleman on drums to produce a sound that mixes elements of Death and Thrash Metal with early CELTIC FROST influences and a punk rock attitude.

Max Cavalera comments, “One of a kind father/son collaboration bringing the old school with a new attitude! Sick riffs and abrasive lyrics from Igor and brutal drumming from Zach Coleman (BLACK CURSE, KHEMMIS) inspired me! Extreme times call for extreme music!”

Igor Amadeus Cavalera states, “We are beyond excited to sign with Nuclear Blast. They are definitely the right choice for this colossally heavy record. G.A.A.D. will deliver fast-paced, hate-fueled energy that hasn’t been heard in years.”

Zach Coleman adds, “I could not be more excited to be a part of G.A.A.D. and to have the album come out on Nuclear Blast! I feel like we were able to capture (extreme) aggression with the record. It’s a mix of old school (think ’89 era metal/punk) style and newer sounds that reflect what’s going on around us. Protest and Survive!”

Nuclear Blast comments. “For such a heavy, brutal, and pissed-off record; GO AHEAD AND DIE will leave any Metal fan with a smile on their face. With riffs the size of boulders and a genuine fuck off attitude that speaks about today’s horrors, this album will without a doubt leave a mark in Metal and we are happy to be part of the journey.”

Stay tuned for more information on the upcoming debut album.

Metal against coronavirus is a creative project that calls for the participation of the entire international metal community to raise funds for the fight against coronavirus. More information at https://www.facebook.com/metalagainstcoronavirus

There is nothing usual about SURVIVAL IS SUICIDE’s experimental extreme metal. Seven years after their first album, “…Just Like Spiders Eat Flies” (2011), the Catalan duo breaks the mold again thanks to their own brand of spatial and twisted death metal, a very personal 90’s like proposal which can be described as a mix of MORBID ANGEL and PESTILENCE with the avant-garde symphonic black by ARCTURUS or LIMBONIC ART. On paper it might look weird, but in the hands of Epojè (drums) and Zaratozom (bass, bass synth, voices), it all flows wonderfully thanks to progressive smashers such as ‘Beauty Of A Stoned Machine’ or ‘Complication’. If, when listening to ‘Chrysalis’, you feel like you’re immersed in Blade Runner’s cyberpunk universe, do not freak out, VANGELIS and movie soundtracks are also amongst their sources of inspiration. And all of that of course without a single guitar to be heard! After playing in the main cities of Spain, as well as participating in festivals such as the Bilbao Deathfest and the Kanya Fest, the band is ready to make the leap to Europe and beyond.

SURVIVAL IS SUICIDE’s second album “Retrovolution” (released April the 6th, 2018) gained lots of excellent reviews in Spanish and International media. Their particular brand of experimental death metal really strikes a chord with any metalhead seeking new experiences. The drummer Epojè, one of the two brothers who form this duo, avails of an impressive technique and a great reputation in his country. Being a student of his friend Pete Sandoval, of Morbid Angel and Terrorizer, is definitely one of the reasons behind his abilities at the drums.

Japanese metal sensation BABYMETAL will release their new Best Of album “10 BABYMETAL YEARS”, on April 23rd, 2021 via earMUSIC, to celebrate their 10th year of existence and announces the launch of exclusive merch bundles via their own UK webstore.

“10 BABYMETAL YEARS” is the first ultimate collection of highlights taken from BABYMETAL’s three studio albums BABYMETAL (2014), METAL RESISTANCE (2016) and METAL GALAXY (2019) and it gives an excellent overview on one decade of Metal.

As part of the release, BABYMETAL have also launched a variety of new exclusive merch bundles on their official UK webstore: https://babymetalstoreuk.com

The following bundles are now available for pre-order:

  • “10 BABYMETAL YEARS” TEE BUNDLE
  • “10 BABYMETAL YEARS” HOODIE BUNDLE
  • “10 BABYMETAL YEARS” FLAG BUNDLE
  • “10 BABYMETAL YEARS” MUG BUNDLE
  • “10 BABYMETAL YEARS” POSTER BUNDLE

In the first 10 years the band has achieved an outstanding amount of success around the world with hundreds of millions of audio streams, and almost a billion YouTube views. They played to 110,000 people over the course of two nights at the massive TOKYO DOME, supported Red Hot Chili Peppers on their UK/US arena tour along with additional support slots with Metallica in South Korea and Guns N’ Roses in Japan, followed by 4 total days in Japan in 2019 with BRING ME THE HORIZON as BABYMETAL’s guest act.

In February 2020, BABYMETAL embarked on their full European headline run consisting of 17 dates in 11 countries.

Formed in Japan in 2010, the band began, supported by the so-called Kami-Band, their mission to unify the world through Heavy Metal by creating a fusion of heavy metal and the Japanese pop genre. Their music contains a stunning mix of electronic pop, a pinch of alternative and industrial rock and is levelled up by fast driven heavy metal. Their live shows are ground-breaking and epic visual as well as sound performances.

BABYMETAL continued to travel the path of Metal with the international release of their three albums, telling the story of the mighty FOX GOD and his brave metal warriors.

In October 2019 they began a new chapter with SU-METAL and MOAMETAL at the front, jumping straight to #13 in the US Billboard charts.
