A KILLER’S CONFESSION – the band led by former Mushroomhead vocalist Waylon Reavis – have released a brand new single “Remember” via Wake Up! Music Rocks (a division of Wake Up! Music). The single is from the band’s highly anticipated third album coming out later this year.

The video for the song can be viewed below:

Sometimes in life, people are quick to forget the good and the bad,” states Reavis. “We all need to be reminded from time to time where the line in the sand is truly drawn.”

Formed in 2016 in Cleveland, OH, A Killer’s Confession (AKC) is led by vocalist Waylon Reavis and consists of Morgan Bauer (drums), JP Cross (bass), and Tommy Church (guitar).

The debut album from AKC Unbroken was released on May 12th, 2017, via EMP Group, the label founded by Megadeth bassist Dave Ellefson. The first single, “A Killer’s Confession,” featured Korn  guitarist  Brian  “Head” Welch. After the contract term ended with EMP Group, the band self-released their next three singles (“Angel On The Outside,” “I Wish,” and “Reanimated“) all to critical and commercial acclaim, racking up over 2 million cumulative streams on Spotify.

In 2019, Pepper Gomez, the founder and CEO of Chicago and Miami based Wake Up! Music Group signed A Killer’s Confession.  The band’s critically acclaimed sophomore album The Indifference Of Good Men was produced by Sahaj Ticotin (vocalist for Ra) in Los Angeles, CA. It included the single “Numb,” along with the previously released singles “I Wish,” “Reanimated,” and “Angel On The Outside.”

New York City-based multi-instrumentalist TIMO ELLIS – vocalist/frontman for Netherlands and widely known for his work with the likes of Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon, Spacehog, John Zorn, The Melvins, Ween, and many others – presents an explosive new solo EP, Death Is Everywhere. Now confirmed for independent release at the end of February, a brief teaser and other details on the EP have been issued.

Death Is Everywhere sees TIMO ELLIS handling all songwriting and instrumentation including drums, basses, guitars, vocals, and keyboards. Over four dense and intense tracks, elements of a wide array of genres, styles, and instrumentation are seamlessly mutated into a white-knuckled ride that stampedes straight through the confines of any sort of genre boundaries. Buoyant, rampant, and incessantly imaginative, the tracks bob and weave across a range of tempos and textures and keep the listener curiously hooked. Highly recommended for fans of the Melvins, Curtis Mayfield, Queens Of The Stone Age, Nomeansno, and The Beach Boys.

In the creator’s own words, “Basically I would frame this EP as being, a clobbering, guttural, yet also introspective, meticulously constructed sludge-pop movie.”

See a brief teaser for TIMO ELLIS’ wild Death Is Everywhere EP now at THIS LOCATION.

Recorded by ELLIS at Shame Party Studios, Death Is Everywhere was mixed by Tom Tierney at Spaceman Sound, mastered by Ron A. Shaffer at Atlantic West Studios, and completed with album design by Todd Kancar.

The Death Is Everywhere EP will see independent digital release on Friday, February 26th. Watch for preorders, new audio samples, and more to post over the days ahead.

Legendary Hollywood rockers L.A. GUNS dropped their critically acclaimed new album Renegades on the appropriate date of Friday 13th November 2020, via Golden Robot Records. Renegades has been described as one of their greatest albums of their distinguished career. The album produced 4 smash singles Crawl, Well OiledMachine, Renegades  and All That You Are and the band received heavy representation on the esteemed and highly influential Spotify Hard Rock Playlist.

Now as an intro to 2021 and to fire the machine back up, L.A. Guns have released a new single from the album, the now appropriately named ballad You Can’t Walk Away which has now developed a deep meaning in more ways than one.

The single is now available via all streaming platforms.

“This is a song I wrote with a friend, Tommy Holland, over 35 years ago in Chicago. I brought it to pre-production for the Renegades album and the band finished it with a new chorus and some other minor changes. We are very proud of it and hope it follows in the footsteps of Ballad of Jayne.”  – Steve Riley

One of the UK’s most exciting rising alt-metal talents VEXED have just signed an official worldwide record deal with premium Austrian rock and metal label Napalm Records.

The crushing Hertfordshire foursome was born in March 2019, and since then the band has been pursuing its desire for heavy groove, unfiltered lyricism and technical proficiency. While other bands dwell on flattery, VEXED bundle a mixture of honest hatred and apt social criticism in their lyrics, and don’t mince words for a moment.

VEXED have already dropped two one-off singles independently, including “Elite” featuring Thy Art is Murder vocalist CJ McMahon, which has garnered over 500k cross-platform streams as of now. Both tracks highlight VEXED’s potent combination of aggressive groove mixed with ominous threads of progressive atmosphere, like none of their kind. Due to the worldwide pandemic, the band had to cancel their planned tour with Whitechapel and a scheduled appearance at Bloodstock Festival, but this did not stop them from continuing to push their sonic strength. Be prepared, more exciting news is coming soon!

VEXED on the signing:
“It is with great pride that we can finally announce our signing to Napalm Records. We are truly humbled by the label’s belief in VEXED and their ability to support our creative vision. Napalm is a label with a rich history and a strong presence throughout the world and we can’t wait to share what we have in store for you.”

Tone MGMT on the signing:
“VEXED have proven time and time again that they are one of the most hard working and exciting new bands the UK has to offer. Their signing to Napalm Records only solidifies this. VEXED really are ones to watch.”
