After recently announcing their worldwide record deal with PERCEPTION – A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music, A COLD PARADISE  now reveal a sing-through video for their brand-new single “Talking To The Moon”!

Following the explosive debut single, “El Perdón”, A COLD PARADISE takes a bold turn: the second single is a daring metal cover of Bruno Mars’ hit of the same name. With his trademark powerhouse vocals, Antonio Calanna — also known as the exceptional singer of ALL FOR METAL — transforms this smooth pop-R&B classic into an emotional metal anthem, blending melancholy with raw strength, resilience, and a rebellious edge.

“This time, it’s a chance to get romantic with a bit of power. ‘Talking To The Moon’ is one of those songs you wouldn’t normally imagine as a metal cover, but I took on the challenge of transforming one of the most vocally demanding songs for a male singer into something truly special for me,” Antonio reveals. “I wanted to preserve the song’s smooth and intense emotional core while bringing it into the metal world. I hope you’ll enjoy this new interpretation!”

To celebrate the release, Antonio went beyond a simple single drop and organized a special release party at Heimatrock in Ladenburg. The event drew an enthusiastic crowd and was close to selling out, reflecting the growing interest around  A COLD PARADISE and Antonio’s strong connection with his audience.

With A COLD PARADISE, Antonio Calanna has launched his most personal and ambitious project to date: a modern metal force merging cinematic vocals, heavy riffs, and creative stage energy. ACP is not just a band, but a full-scale artistic universe, ready to redefine the boundaries of metal.

Antonio brings together a world-class cast of musicians, dancers, and creatives – whose names are going to be revealed soon – to deliver a genre-defying live experience that blends epic metal riffs, haunting melodies, and breathtaking choreography. Fans can look forward to a thrilling ride, as A COLD PARADISE will keep the energy alive and your speakers rocking nonstop!

EVIL SCARECROW to Release New Album “Silicon Tea” on October 1st

Evil Scarecrow triumphantly return with their 5th studio album “Silicon Tea“.

We live in turbulent times where what we need more than ever is a bit of light entertainment, but even Evil Scarecrow can’t fail to address some of the more serious issues of the moment, be it our inadvertent servitude to corporate overlords, or the likelihood of Armageddon being kickstarted by a failure to update software. However, they also bring your attention back to the more fundamental problems of daily life, like bad weather at festivals and the challenge of trying to figure out which of your bins is supposed to be put out this week.

Dr Hell comments: “We really wanted to write an album that brings together our varied tastes and love for heavy music. We have leaned into pop punk with “Green Bin Day”, rewound to the 80s with “The Future Machine”, and god only knows what genre “Welly in the Mud” is… Brown Metal? I dunno. Anyway, we hope there is something for everyone, or nothing for no-one, or everything for one very weird person. But it’s an album that we, as a band, are very proud of.”

As ever, Evil Scarecrow bring you an eclectic mix of influences with a huge dose of absurd humour, what more could you ask for?

The band also have their ‘Silicon Tea Party‘ at Saltbox in Nottingham on 5th October to celebrate the launch of the new album, featuring an album playback, live acoustic set, photo opportunities & cake!.  Tickets are available exclusively from Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/evilscarecrow/evil-scarecrow-silicon-tea-vinyl-and-cd-release

Premature Obsolescence Tour Tickets are on sale now, support for all dates is Andrew O’Neill
This tour will support the release of Evil Scarecrow’s long awaited 5th studio album “Silicon Tea”, which is released on 1st October via Deadbox Records.

With new songs comes a new show, and the band are busy in the ‘Crow’s Nest Garden Shed working on new ridiculous props and absurd video ideas. Keep an eye on the band socials for a sneak peek behind the scenes!
 
The band are delighted to have the hilarious and wonderful Andrew O’Neill joining them for this tour. Andrew is an award-winning comedian, musician and author of “A History of Heavy Metal”, if you’ve not seen Andrew perform before you are in for a real treat!

THE ASTRONAUTS’ Sublime New Single ‘Ease Up’ Out Now

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: THE ASTRONAUTS. Leave a comment

THE ASTRONAUTS‘ new single ‘Ease Up‘ is a mellow, guitar soaked rocker that drifts between the indie/alt rock sound of today with a kick back to the likes of the ever inspirational Velvet Underground. A truly stunning single, melodic and mellifluous and with more music to come over the following months on Flip Flop Records, this really is a band to watch. 

Stream here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/theastronauts2/ease-up

The Astronauts are Benjamin Fox and Gordon Cooper, American musicians collaborating transatlantically between Detroit and Ireland. 

In addition to their work as The Astronauts, Fox and Cooper also compose and record under the name Irish Lights, an ambient instrumental project inspired by the timeless beauty and solitude of Ireland’s lighthouses. 

Beyond their own music, the duo operates Sleeping in Space LLC, a boutique Detroit-based label dedicated to releasing independent and forward-thinking music.

“We make songs through satellites. Music is our rocket ship. Time to launch. We are ordinary citizens. Midwest till we die”

Swedish blackened thrash metal outfit SARCATOR have dropped their blistering cover of Sarcófago’s cult classic “The Black Vomit” on all streaming platforms. Previously featured as a bonus track on their third full-length album “Swarming Angels & Flies”, the cover pays homage to the Brazilian extreme metal band that released “The Black Vomit” originally in 1986. The song remains as one of the most iconic and raw statements in South American extreme metal history. 

Their album “Swarming Angels & Flies” is available for purchase here.

About Sarcator

At a juvenile age of 14-20, Sarcator released their first demo tape, “Visions of Purgatory”, via the American label Redefining Darkness Records in 2019. Just two years later the quadrumvirate got nominated for best rock/metal album for the Swedish music award P3 Guld with their 2020’s self-titled debut release for the same label. After releasing their 2nd album, “Alkahest”, via Black Lion Records in 2022, Sarcator finally got a proper chance to play live, captivating crowds with their intense, blackened live shows. With their current line-up fully committed to the band despite their young age (all members are between 19 and 25) it was time for them to record their 3rd album, which still features previous guitarist Emil Eriksson. Shortly after signing a new worldwide deal with Century Media Records and heading out on a debut European tour supporting Hellripper and Cloak, Sarcator released “Swarming Angels & Flies” on January 17th, 2025. With plenty of live activity in support of the new album, Sarcator are already at the forefront of an emergent, highly determined new generation of Scandinavian extreme metal bands and ready to take the rest of the world by storm soon too…

Sarcator are:
Mateo Tervonen – Vocals, Guitar
Felix Lindkvist – Bass
Leo Buchalle – Guitar
Jesper Rosén – Drums

AS EVERYTHING UNFOLDS Release New Single ‘Point Of View’ + Announce UK & EU Headline Dates This November

As Everything Unfolds, who recently announced their signing to Century Media, have today released a brand new single, ‘POINT OF VIEW’, hot on the heels of ‘SET IN FLOW’, released earlier this summer.

Speaking of ‘POINT OF VIEW’, vocalist Charlie Rolfe says, “you give everything you have, your whole being, your whole life, to help someone but it’s never enough if they don’t want to help themselves. I really struggled to understand how someone close to me couldn’t see my point of view in the awful situation we were in. They were angry when I helped, they were angry when I gave them space, they were angry when I stayed, they were angry when I left.

LISTEN to ‘POINT OF VIEW’: https://aseverythingunfoldsband.lnk.to/POV

She continues, “it destroyed my confidence and my self worth having to live in an environment where nothing I ever did was good enough. It hurts deeply to watch what can only be described as a car crash in slow motion, being unable to stop it but just having the strength to walk away and value your own mental health, your own sanity helped me gain back a small amount of those parts of me I lost. I really hope that some day, that person can listen to this song, and truly understand what it was like to be in that situation from my point of view.”

Ignoring traditional genre boundaries with their distinctive sound, As Everything Unfolds have aspired to create a unique listening experience, combining a multitude of genres within the alternative realm and beyond. With over 30 million streams of their catalogue to date, their craft does not go unnoticed.

As Everything Unfolds have been nominated for three Heavy Music Awards, including Best Album in 2024, and have appeared at iconic European festivals including Download Festival, Graspop, Rock For People, Resurrection and Wacken. They have also toured extensively alongside bands including Electric Callboy, Enter Shikari, Skindred, Bury Tomorrow, Holding Absence and many more.

Off the back of signing to Century Media, the remainder of 2025 and 2026 promise to be huge years for the band, showcasing their new era across numerous tours and festivals.
