At a time when we miss sweaty concert locations and tangible intoxicating live music more than ever, STONED JESUS provide their fans, stoner rock disciples and music lovers with a special digital present: Back in 2019, in celebration of their 10th anniversary, the stoner prog visionaries played an intimate concert in Kyiv at the Green Theatre and are now premiering the full live-show exclusively on the Napalm Records YouTube channel, today at 7pm CET. 

STONED JESUS on the stream: “Live at Green Theatre is STONED JESUS’ first outdoor non-festival concert. Filmed in our home city of Kyiv, it was also the first show of the Xth Anniversary Tour.”

To date, STONED JESUS have released four trailblazing full-lengths and played countless concerts all over the world, spreading their heavy blend of sludgy Stoner Rock mixed with remarkable Psychedelic influences and a hypnotizing dash of Sludge, Doom and Prog. The Ukraine export featuring founding member, guitarist and vocalist Igor Sydorenko drape an occult veil over their lyricism and definitely know how to put their audience under their spell.

BraveWords Go Live With SIGNAL 13 And LEROI XII On Streaming For Vengeance This Saturday

BraveWords’ new live streaming experience, Streaming For Vengeance, continues with two shows broadcasting live on Saturday, November 14th at 3:33 PM, Eastern. 

You can watch these live streams on the Bravewords Facebook page, here or YouTube, at this location. 

For more information on Streaming For Vengeance visit http://streamingforvengeance.com

First up is SIGNAL 13. In September, Signal 13 won Bet Band in Baltimore Magazine’s annual 2020 Best Of Baltimore Readers’ Poll, while the group’s songs and videos have exceeded 1.4 million views and streams on all platforms. Fronted by the sassy Vicky Starr, the band bleeds the blues and hearkens back to an era where Great White, Tora Tora and Tangier ruled the land. Signal 13 recently released their Destination Unknown EP. 

“We are really excited to do this,” exclaims the band about playing Streaming For Vengeance this Saturday! “At our core, we are a live band, having performed about 150 shows over the last few years, sometimes three or four shows a week. We have not played live since things screeched to a halt in March, so we are like a group of caged tigers right now and we have a lot of pent-up energy! This is going to be a first for us in a few ways… Our EP, Destination Unknown came out in April and all of our tour plans have been postponed and rescheduled – so audiences have not even had a chance to see what we are about yet. This will be the first time performing all this material live and via live-stream. This is going to be big! When this opportunity came up, we decided we really wanted to do it right – a big production with a one-of-a-kind custom designed stage, top notch sound, full light show, lots of camera angles – you name it! We did not want to do a stripped-down show – we wanted this to really give everyone a good look at who we are! Finally – we have some special things planned as part of the performance. We will be playing all the tracks from our debut, but also some surprises such as several of our most requested covers from bands we all love, and we may even have a special sneak preview of an unreleased upcoming song!” 

When asked about dealing with virtual realities and conveying passion when you can’t see an audience, Signal 13 added: “We always have a blast when we play together and people will see that. It will definitely be a bit strange without an audience, but we won’t be holding back. We are going to have a whole bunch of cameras capturing the action so the audience can be immersed in the show!” 

Up next is LEROI XII. The newly-formed LeRoi XIII (Thirteen), which is comprised singer Terry LeRoi (Granny 4 Barrel), guitarists Troy McLawhorn (Evanescence) and Sammy Boller, bassist Aaron Pauley (Of Mice and Men), and drummer Will Hunt (Evanescence) have recreated the legendary Dio song, “Stand Up and Shout”, with 100% of the proceeds/profits from this song go to the Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund (for the mission of support, research, and education that furthers early detection, prevention, and treatment of prostate, colon, and stomach cancers). 

“Ronnie James Dio has had a huge influence on me artistically over the years,” Terry LeRoi begins. “Since the first time I heard ‘Man On The Silver Mountain’ on the radio and then discovering Elf and everything that came after… Sabbath and then his solo project Dio, I’ve been a huge fan. I’ve always loved Ronnie’s image and his whole vibe. He’s like this chivalrous regal character from King Arthur Court who was completely classy in all ways. His voice to me is otherworldly and it’s as if he is from another time. I’ve always related to that. It’s a tremendous honor and privilege to be able to support Wendy and the Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund with this tribute song. They do amazing work for the research, detection and prevention of cancer. We are so humbled that the SUAS Board of Directors unanimously approved supporting this track we recorded.” 

So what do we expect on Streaming For Vengeance this Saturday? 

“It was a challenge recording this track under the pandemic lockdown,” LeRoi motions about performing around the world, yet staying in one room. “But playing with world-class musicians and having legendary rock producer David Bendeth (Of Mice And Men, Breaking Benjamin, I Prevail and Varga) at the helm made it a unique and successful experience. One would think that it’s not possible to capture emotion and a full band type vibe when all of the musicians and producer are separated like that, but quite the contrary… I feel like it heightened our other senses and we all honed into the nuances of the track even more. Musicians are great at overcoming obstacles and even if an audience isn’t physically in front of them, we can still play as if there’s 10,000 people watching! It’s always about the translation of the power of music whether you are by yourself or in front of a crowd… Music is the magic that makes us all feel!” 

PITCH BLACK PROCESS Release New Single & Video For ‘Buselik Makamına’

Turkish metallers PITCH BLACK PROCESS, formerly known as Affliction, have released the second single from their “SIR” EP, which is a cover of “Buselik Makamına”, available now on all digital platforms! It is one of the most renowned and classical songs of MFÖ, who is one of the best-loved, iconic and oldest bands from Turkey. The “SIR” EP was produced and recorded by Daniel Bergstrand at Dugout Studios-Sweden, and it will be released via Rakun Müzik. The video clip of “Buselik Makamına” is directed by well-known Turkish director Ender Mıhlar, who also directed the video clip of “Zahid Bizi Tan Eyleme”. Two successful and beloved actors Celil Nalçakan and Sitare Akbaş, are also featured in the video.

Watch the video for “Buselik Makamına” here:

Here’s what the band states about the new single:

“Hello everyone,
First of all, although we thought about postponing the release of our new song due to the disastrous incident in which we also have friends and acquaintances who lost their lives and homes, that happened 10 days ago; we decided to go ahead as planned, for the reason that art is the product of the human being’s strivings of making sense of life and existing.
However hard it is to prepare this announcement which we’ve thought to make to give information before the release of our new song on Wednesday; we would like to say a few things about the song and the EP, which includes that song, that we put a lot of effort into, the publication process of which is an “adventure” in itself and which is very precious to us, because of this process and effort.
The song you’re about to listen to is one of three songs waiting for more than five years to meet you which we wanted to put on the “Derin” album, but couldn’t. Since we think that these three songs deserve to be shared with you, we’ve added “Zahid Bizi Tan Eyleme” alongside these three songs and returned to Sweden to record the “SIR” EP.
We already released “Zahid Bizi Tan Eyleme” from “SIR” as a single in March 2019. However, after that, since the conditions we expected were not met, we didn’t deliver the rest of the EP to you.
In addition to this situation, it took us a very long while to solve the puzzle that emerged later in the story, which will definitely be told in the future, of the song that we prepared the video for in May 2019. The adventure, which lasted almost 2.5 years in total, finally resulted in a happy ending last month.
There are some names who have had an impact with their contribution and effort to get to where we are now and we should thank:
-First of these is our new “partner in crime” Rakun Müzik. The fact that our warm relationship with the founders of Rakun Müzik has evolved into a partnership lately increases our happiness at this stage.
-Dear Celil Nalçakan and Sitare Akbaş, who put their energies and efforts into the video by throwing in outstanding performances;
-Our director, Ender Mıhlar who once again created miracles and adopted this work as his own after “Zahid Bizi Tan Eyleme” video in the new video you’ll be watching;
-Likewise, Berkan Aşkın who has done an excellent job in cutting and editing in both videos;
-Graphic, animation, video, photo acrobat Mehmet Torni, who has always come to our aid whenever we ran into trouble;
We send our thanks and love to you all!
-However, there are two names that we should thank specifically for this song; the “story” couldn’t have begun without one of them, and the “puzzle” couldn’t have been solved without the other: Huge love and thanks to Ateş İlyas Başsoy and Ahmet San!
-Lastly, our dear pals, friends and followers, who turn every “new meeting” into a great excitement and enthusiasm; our biggest thanks is to you!!!”

In November 2009 they hit the road for their first European tour playing over 20 gigs (beeing the longest tour which any Turkish band had ever made abroad until then), followed up by the 18-shows European tour with WARBRINGER, in February 2010. Before the tour with Warbringer, PITCH BLACK PROCESS signed a sponsorship deal with one of the most well-known guitar companies in the world, PRS, which was another ‘debut’ for Turkey. None of any Turkish bands had signed a sponsorship agreement with such a big brand in music industry. The 3rd album “Hand of God?” was produced by Daniel Bergstrand (In Flames, Meshuggah, Soilwork, etc) at Dugout Studios, came out in June 2013. In September 2013, PITCH BLACK PROCESS played on main stage at the 82nd Izmir International Fair, being the first ever metal band to play on the fair’s history.

PRETTY MAIDS Vocalist RONNIE ATKINS Working On New Solo Album, Coming Out Spring 2021

Posted by tarjavirmakari on November 11, 2020
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Ronnie Atkins. Leave a comment

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the signing of Danish vocalist Ronnie Atkins to a solo deal. The acclaimed Pretty Maids and Nordic Union vocalist is currently wrapping up work on a new solo album, “One Shot”, which will be released in the spring of 2021. 

“To be honest, I initially had no intention to do a solo album to begin with, but for various reasons and in particularly my own personal health situation I finally decided to have a crack at it,” says Atkins. 

“Around Easter 2020 and only some six weeks after I was told that everything seemingly looked very positive for my health, I was unfortunately diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and told it was incurable, which was devastating news for me. Needless to say, that was a total game changer and I went into kind of a panic situation for a while! But when the dust had settled. I realised there were two ways to approach the situation. I could sit down, accept the facts, and feel pity for myself or I could pull myself up, set some goals, pursue my dreams, and carry on living! And with fantastic back up from my family and true friends, I went for the latter!” continues Atkins. 

With the global pandemic shutting down touring for the foreseeable future, Atkins knew a tour promoting the latest Pretty Maids album, “Undress Your Madness” (2019) was not going to be in the cards anytime soon. Suddenly, the timing for working on a new solo album seemed to have presented itself.

“Well, I couldn’t change the way things were by any means. The whole world was on a lockdown and the future prospects of concerts were very uncertain and still is to this day! Basically, that meant that if I was gonna carry out the idea of a solo album, it had to be now since I don’t necessarily have all the time in the world. I had all these ideas recorded on my iPhone that I felt were too good to never see the light of day and I was writing a lot at the time to help ease my frustrations,” tells Atkins. 

Ronnie’s next step was that he hooked up with good friend and PM bandmate and producer Chris Laney to begin the work of putting these ideas together into songs. Chris is overseeing production, Jacob Hansen will mix, and musicians/singers appearing on the album include, in addition to Laney, Allan Sørensen, Morten Sandager, Pontus Egberg, Pontus Norgren, Kee Marcello, Olliver Hartmann, John Berg, Anders Ringman, Linnea Vikström Egg, and Björn Strid.

The album is currently scheduled for release in spring of 2021 with the first single and more album details to be revealed in January 2021.

BAD WOLVES Release ‘THE RETALIATORS’- Themed Music Video For Rock Radio Hit “Learn To Walk Again”

Global rock sensation, BAD WOLVES release the new music video for their song “Learn To Walk Again”, from THE RETALIATORS movie soundtrack. The track, off of their sophomore album, N.A.T.I.O.N. is also currently #11 on the Active Rock charts.

The music video contains footage from the film, in which members of Bad Wolves, Papa Roach, Five Finger Death Punch and a lot more, are featured. THE RETALIATORS, reaching theatres in Spring 2021, is a high-octane horror-thriller in which a Pastor and father has to choose between turning the other cheek and taking bloody revenge.

Vocalist Tommy Vext talks about ‘Learn to Walk Again’: “This song is about changing your life. All of us in the band and other people I am close to were going through a lot of changes when we wrote it. We had been going through these trials and tribulations over the last couple of years and the future was unknown. Sometimes you need to be brought to your knees and be willing to try anything to find your way to where you need to be.  ‘Learn To Walk Again’ isn’t my story, it is OUR story.”

Bad Wolves includes vocalist Tommy Vext (ex-Divine Heresy), drummer John Boecklin (ex-Devildriver), guitarist Doc Coyle (ex-God Forbid), guitarist Chris Cain (Bury Your Dead), and bassist Kyle Konkiel (ex-In This Moment). They released their debut album, Disobeyin May 2018, via Better Noise Music, which reached #22 on the Billboard Top 200, #2 on the Hard Rock Chart, #4 on Rock, and #8 on the Top Current Albums Chart. In 2019, they continued that momentum with their sophomore album, N.A.T.I.O.N. The stunning 12-track follow-up to their debut album, Disobey, is a bit of a departure – staying in the same realm musically, but breaking beyond. N.A.T.I.O.N. came in at #1 upon its release on the Top Hard Rock, Current Hard Rock and Billboard Hard Rock charts, and has yielded two #1 singles at Active Rock Radio – Sober and Killing Me Slowly.

Their global breakout single, “Zombie,” is platinum in the U.S. and Sweden, double platinum in Canada, gold in Australia and IMPALA Diamond in Europe. The track has topped charts worldwide, including the U.S. iTunes overall and rock charts, Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs chart, Spotify’s Global Viral 50 chart, while also reigning atop the Active Rock radio chart for three straight weeks. The official music video for “Zombie,” a tribute to the late singer Dolores O’Riordan of The Cranberries and an homage to the original, has garnered over 255 million viewsacross platforms. On June 19th, 2018, Bad Wolves presented a $250,000 check to Dolores O’Riordan’s four children, with a continued promise to donate all of their royalties from the song to them.
