Edmonton instrumental rock guitarist Jon Harris has unveiled the playthrough video for If You Wouldn’t, from his album Parallel Heart (Epictronic). With every note, he pulls you deeper into his world, where soulful riffs, graceful solos, and rich guitar and keyboard layers create a sound that is both intimate and vast.

“‘If You Wouldn’t’ started as a test riff for my new Telecaster. I bought the guitar for recording the album and absolutely fell in love with it,” stated Jon. “A friend of mine asked what my new Telecaster sounded like, so I quickly kicked out this riff, thinking not much of it. Next thing I knew it was 3am and my wife was asking me to come to bed.  A few weeks later we had an opener for the album. There’s a kind of emotional depth in the track that even I have a hard time putting into words. I spent a lot of time trying to rewrite parts of it later, but nothing ever felt as honest as that first version. What you hear on the record is exactly how it needed to be.”

The album is a vivid showcase of Harris’s multi-instrumental skills and compositional vision. While completely instrumental, Parallel Heart conveys stories of tension and release, exploring the space between connection and chaos, creative ambition and everyday demands. From the pulsing energy of Togetherness to the shimmering retro feel of 97BPM, each track builds its own emotional narrative.
Harris, who performed guitar, drums, bass, piano, and production on the record, proves himself not only a guitarist to watch but a full-scale sonic architect. His sound bridges blues-soaked rock, synth-driven textures, and funk grooves with cinematic flair — think Jeff Beck meets Prince with a modern rock edge.

LACUNA COIL have released a brand-new lyric video for “In Nomine Patris”, taken from their latest album “Sleepless Empire.” Created by 12Inch Media, the video brings to life the striking artwork of Roberto Toderico, capturing the song’s themes of fear, faith, and facing forces larger than ourselves.

Vocalist Andrea Ferro explains: “It’s a song about confronting what feels sacred and overwhelming, things we think we’re not ready to face. Day by day, step by step… it takes time to build an empire.”

Following this release, Lacuna Coil are set for a massive run of international shows, closing 2025 with a packed European and festival schedule, before returning to the Middle East, Australia, and Asia in early 2026.

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

BLUTGOTT have released a new single and video ‘Beats Of War’ as DEBAUCHERY version. The song is taken from the upcoming BLUTGOTT studio album ‘Legions Of Metal’ which will be released on 10.10.2025.

“Beasts of War” is a thunderous hard rock track capturing the raw power and ferocity of the hordes of Setekh Drakorgaur. With crushing riffs, pounding drums, and gritty vocals, it tells the story of a brutal raid on a remote village – a storm of chaos, blood, and steel. Perfect for fans of epic fantasy worlds and heavy guitar-driven sound. Hard Rock music inspired by AC/DC, lyrics inspired by the chaos beastmen of the Warhammer World. Recorded, mixed and mastered by the legendary Dennis Ward (Unisonic, Krokus, Helloween).

THE BLUTGOTT METAL UNIVERSE – Dark Fantasy Metal. There is no political or socio-critical message.

DEBAUCHERY – Death Metal Voice
BLOOD GOD – Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Vocals
BALGEROTH – German Lyrics

It’s not a band, it’s a universe. The BLUTGOTT Metal Universe, consisting of Debauchery, Blood God and Balgeroth.

20 Years of Monsters and Metal. Somewhere in between Judas Priest, Slayer, AC/DC, Rammstein and Bolt Thrower. 20 albums with over 40 CDs.

The lyrics are about the own dark fantasy world, the World of Blood Gods. Blood Gods are brutal demonic vampire dragons.

There are miniatures, a tabletop wargame, books and artworks.

Concerts of the various incarnations of the BLUTGOTT Metal Universe have been held throughout Europe, Russia and Asia. The draconic BLUTGOTT monsters were on tour with Doro, Saxon, Dismember, Napalm Death, Destruction and many other legends from the metal scene and played at major festivals such as Wacken, Summer Breeze and Bang Your Head. The albums are regularly in the top 50 of the official German album charts.

The main man behind BLUTGOTT is singer and guitarist, creator of artworks and monsters, author of the World of Blood Gods: Thomas Gurrath. The guy who gave up his job as teacher to become a full time metal artist.

“Legions Of Metal” is coming on 10 October  – Three bloody discs of old-school Heavy Metal and Hard Rock.

Recorded by Dennis Ward (Unisonic, Krokus, Helloween).

  • CD1: A full mix of Blutgott madness, plus some absolute legends joining the ride: Tim “Ripper” Owens – former singer of Judas Priest, and Michelle Darkness – the voice of End of Green.
  • CD2: Classic Heavy Metal and Hard Rock, like AC/DC getting into a bar brawl with Accept – and everyone wins.
  • CD3: The version with the Debauchery monster voice. Death metal growls that sound like a demon gargling lava.

Available as a 3CD digipack and the main album as a limited edition picture LP.
