Last weekend Swiss Metallers FUELED BY FEAR entered Alpha Omega Studios, in Como, to record their second album. The band has issued the first studio update:

“After the last weekend the drums are done, Phil recorded all the songs within two days. Guitars are basically finished, last touches are done after vocals. Next up; Marco hits the Studio in about 2 Weeks to add another layer of pure evil, to an already heavy as fuck base. We’re beyond excited. The work with Alessandro Azzali is amazing. It’s the first time that this Band is working with a producer like him. He made the studiotime really easy for us. We worked on all the songs and did some changes here and there.”

More details will be revealed soon.

In 2019, FUELED BY FEAR joined the Swedish death metal heroes, IN FLAMES, as main support, on their tour in St.Petersburg (April 23rd) and Moscow (April 25th)! In case you missed, check out the video clip “Born in Hell”, filmed from the shows and backstage. The song comes out from their latest EP “This Forsaken Place”, released on February 11th 2019 via Ashburn Records.

Their debut full length album “Two By Eight” was released on December 16th 2016 by Ashburn Productions. After the album release, the band played a lot of Club shows in Switzerland. The Album hit the Swedish Rock Charts place 5 and entered the Swiss Charts too. The band has toured with SEPULTURA (on their Baltic Tour in March 2012) and IN FLAMES (on their Russian minitour in 2013).

SOMETHING ON 11 – Feat. Jen Majura & Alen Brentini – Release First Single + Music Video ‘Soul Suffer Payment’, Self-Titled Debut Album Out November 13th

Some equations do make sense to everybody – for example the fact that one bundle of energy combined with another will create an explosive force to live off.

The striking synergy between two live wires and top-notch musicians now emerges into a new project that couldn’t be any more energizing and uplifting: Jen Majura’s and Alen Brentini’s joint project SOMETHING ON 11 celebrates the release of its first single Soul Suffer Payment!

Blending different influences from Queen to Testament, Something On 11 manage to create their very own essence to be captured in the harbringer of their self-titled debut album that is expected to be released on the 13th of November.

Something On 11 understands itself as a middle finger to all the mainstream rules, which reflects on the first single release just perfectly. Soul Suffer Payment deals with the burden of a regular 9 to 5 worklife by utilizing the bulletproof corset of a shatter-resistant modern rock song, combined with sharp vocals contributed by Evanescence guitarist Jen Majura, who is currently on everyone’s lips with her iconic 1MIN JAMMMS series on her YouTube channel, and Alen Brentini’s punching guitar riff.

After their formation in spring of 2018, it took Something On 11 a fair while to complete the works on their attitude-loaded debut – another proof for good things indeed taking time. The album has been produced by the duo itself and features eight ass-kicking metal influenced songs that will have fans of modern hardrock and dynamics of vigorous instrumentals falling for it.

Not only should everyone brace themselves for the thunderstorm of a release that Something On 11 will bring upon us in November, but also make sure to check out their lovingly shot video for Soul Suffer Payment – a refreshing verification of the fact that creativity remains the best tool to live through tensed times.

CUESTACK & DAVID HASSELHOFF Recorded New Song ‘Through the Night’, Kickstarter Campaign Launched For Music Video + Making-Of Documentary

In 2019, Austrian metallers CUESTACK recorded a song ‘Through the Night’ with the TV icon DAVID HASSELHOFF, and to finish the epic music video and making-of documentary, the band needs now your support, so head over to our Kickstarter campaign to become an important part of this project today, HERE.

Watch the announcement video below.

THROUGH THE NIGHT is a song and cinematic music video project, starring the actor and singer David Hasselhoff and Austrian metal band CueStack. As life-long ‘Hoff’ fans, the band had the ultimate goal to create a metal project with the most-watched man on TV, showing the world his heavy side. All of this was also captured in an in-depth Making-Of documentary, both in the studio and on the video set.

The project started in 2018 and many demos were made, many meetings were held and what seemed like an impossible idea slowly turned into a reality. David finally recorded the track with CueStack in 2019 in Vienna and they also shot an ambitious music video together.

The band stated:
We, CueStack, financed the entire project by ourselves until now, to avoid giving up any creative freedom when it comes to the song and music video. The final mission: finishing the edit of the cinematic video that will accompany the song! With a limited budget and schedule, we had to shoot the entire video with David in just one day. That means we had to build much smaller versions of the sets we actually had in mind. To turn this dystopian retro Sci-Fi/Cyberpunk vision into reality, a massive post-production effort is needed now, to extend these basic sets into cinematic, futuristic, living worlds!

Your contributions go directly into financing those final steps and aside from providing digital downloads, we can also pre-order the special THROUGH THE NIGHT Box Sets for you (Digipak CD, 8-page booklet with liner notes, printed high-quality autograph card, Poster, ‘Through the Night’ baseball cap, custom leather bracelet). We also added a special T-Shirt, only available right here! With all the costs of this entire project until now, we can’t afford to just order hundreds or thousands of Box Sets or merch items without knowing how many of these we could actually ship out!

TOMORROW’S RAIN To Release New Single ‘The Weeping Song’, Feat. Orphaned Land And Draconian Members

Tel Aviv’s Dark Metallers TOMORROW’S RAIN will release the 5th single from the debut album “Hollow” on November 5th.

“The Weeping Song” is the band’s special cover version of Nick Cave’s song from his album “The Good Son” (1990), Tomorrow’s Rain version featuring Featuring Anders Jacobsson (Draconian), Kobi Farhi (Orphaned Land) and Lisa Cuthbert (Live Fem. Vocals of The Sisters Of Mercy) as guests.

Stating Vocalist Yishai Swearts: “Growing up in the 80’s Nick Cave was always there, an idol, his lyrics found a warm place within my heart when I was pretty young, apart from that Nick is a mentor when it comes to face traumatic events in life and carry on, heal your soul and sing your pain, Nick’s last 2 albums are pure reflection of the message we try to deliver in “Hollow”: at the end of the day we have to carry on, we have to heal ourselves and continue the journey”.

“We think that the interesting idea in a cover version is always to the take song to “your own” area, never understood bands who just played the original song as is, it’s pointless and in almost every case it’s weaker than the original, by doing a cover the idea is not to be stronger than the original but to play the original in your own language, in your own way”.

“Our dear old friend Kobi Farhi from Orphaned Land sang with me the duet, the idea was that one of us will be the father and the other will be the son, also joined in are Anders from Draconian doing growling vocals with me and Lisa Cuthbert with female voc”.

KOBI FARHI – ORPHANED LAND About our cover:
“Nick Cave is probably my favorite artist, second only to Leonard Cohen. From childhood till this day he never ceases to amaze me with his great ability to create sincere, painful art and music. I am honored to take part in a cover made for one of his classic songs, I think covers is a very tricky thing that you shouldn’t go and do so easily, but this cover definitely achieved its goal and it’s a great one!”

FEUERSCHWANZ Release Official Music Video For “Hier kommt Alex”

German medieval rock masters FEUERSCHWANZ have released the official music video for the song “Hier kommt Alex” (english: Here Comes Alex). The song – originally written and performed by Die Toten Hosen – comes off their covers album Die Sieben Todsünden, the bonus to their brand new album Das Elfte Gebot which was released on June 26 and landed at #3 on the official German album charts, where it remained for 8 consecutive weeks.

Commented the band: “”In einer Welt in der man nur noch lebt, damit man täglich roboten geht…” (In a world in which you only live, so you can function every day…) This line seems depressingly real in these strange times – even though, back in 1988, Die Toten Hosen were inspired by Anthony Burgess’ novel “A Clockwork Orange” as well as the movie of the same name by Stanley Kubrick, to write this huge German rock classic! We love the song as well as the movie and its eerie message and thus put it into a medieval sound. Let’s ascend to Burg Abenberg again, harken Mieze Myus’ gentle harp before we shout: Hier kommt Alex!”

Das Elfte Gebot also includes the bonus cover album Die Sieben Todsünden (except for the CD Jewel Case Version) containing seven cover versions of songs not only by internationally acclaimed artists like Seeed and Ed Sheeran but also Rammstein, Powerwolf and Sabaton. 

To celebrate the release, the band had performed an exclusive online open air at Burg Abenberg the same day. The recording can be viewed here.

Das Elfte Gebot is the successor to 2018’s Methämmer, which went straight to #6 of the German album charts.
