CHRIS CAFFERY Releases New Video ‘Then She’s Gone’ from Upcoming Album

CHRIS CAFFERY presents the official video for his new single ‘Then She’s Gone’. The song is taken from the upcoming album ‘20 Years Of The Music Man’ which will be released on 13 June on Metalville.

“Then She’s Gone” is an unreleased track Chris wrote around the time of the songs for Faces. “I’ve made mistakes in my life and I’ve made decisions that may have cut someone out of my life. These decisions can be ones you did purposely or things you did  personally that had them leave your life. As human being we make mistakes and as the songs say “I should have listened and learned” and some mistakes you can make again…Then she’s gone….”

The Savatage and TSO guitarist presents a very personal selection of 21 songs from his successful career, which has now spanned two decades.

The compilation includes songs from his previous solo albums as well as rare and unreleased tracks that Chris considers too important not to make available to the fans.

Chris says about his selection: “In 2004 I released my first solo record. I wasn’t sure what to expect I just knew I wanted to make some music on my own. It was a time when I had a lot of questions not only about myself but where certain parts of my life were heading. The “Music Man” in me decided to use my energy positively. I spent 20 years writing and recording and expressing myself to you. This new release contains some of your favorite songs as well as mine. There are also some unreleased songs and a brand new one as well.

I’d like to thank all of the amazing musicians, engineers and producers who participated on these recordings with me.

I dedicate this to all of you my friends, also to my mentor in heaven who believed in me from the earliest days of my career Mr. Paul O’Neill and a special dedication to my mom who remained my best friend and supporter through all of my roller
coaster rides these past couple decades.

Thank you all for being a part of my journey and I look forward to continuing the next 20 years and beyond!”

Estonian metalcore band PRIDIAN release their debut album Venetian Dark via Century Media Records. Following their 2023 Cybergnosis EP, the 12-track album blends groove-driven heaviness with cinematic textures and raw lyrical depth, exploring themes of trauma, mental health, and inner conflict. The band also drops a new video for “ Convoy,” a track capturing the crushing weight of past choices.

“Humanity has lost its connection with nature and itself. We exploit everything, driven by greed,” says vocalist Laur Lindmäe.

Venetian Dark is available now on CD and limited blue-black marbled vinyl.

Catch Pridian live at Mystic Festival, Hard Rock Laager, and their May 23 record release show in Tallinn.

Finnish symphonic progressive metal band Dominant Chain, formed in 2006, is set to release their debut EP ‘Wasteland Requiem’ later this year via Inverse Records. The first single ‘Kissed by This Life’ is released today and it’s available on all essential streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/dominant-chain-kissed 

The band comments the single:
” “Kissed By This Life” is the first single release from Dominant Chain’s Wasteland Requiem EP. The track represents thematically and musically the core message of the EP, showcasing the band’s musical style at its best: Crushing riffs, progressive changes, and fast solos that culminate in catchy melodies and massive, symphonic choruses. The song’s lyrics explore the main character’s experiences with harsh interrogations in a dystopian dictatorship, where she wakes up tortured, unable to remember past events or who she is.” 

Track list:

  1. Wasteland Requiem
  2. The Moment
  3. Tears of the Tyrant
  4. Dirt
  5. Kissed by This Life
  • Vocal recordings & engineering: Esa Uusimaa
  • Vocal production & Backing Growls in ”Kissed by This Life”: Mika Kankainen
  • Mixing: Toni Balk
  • Mastering: Janne Tolsa
  • Cover art: Antti Raatikainen
  • Logo: Juha Tretjakov
  • Kissed by This Life & The Moment vocals recorded in White Leaf Studio, Oulu.
  • Tears Of The Tyrant & Dirt lead vocals and all backing vocals recorded in Lemmenhotelli, Helsinki.

Dominant Chain, hailing from Northern Finland, plays progressive symphonic metal. Their music is not only about complex time signatures and technical skills, but massive, catchy choruses too, along with influences from various other music styles.

The band was originally formed in 2006 in Sonkajärvi, Northern Savo. The musicians have seasoned backgrounds in the professional musicianship. Their first official release, the EP Wasteland Requiem, consisting of five tracks, will be released in the summer of 2025. The first single, “Kissed By This Life,” is released digitally on May 20, 2025.

Line-up:
Bass: Tuomas Korkatti
Drums: Toni Balk
Guitars: Jarno Keränen

UNDECAYED Stream Full Debut Album “In Death’s Image” Ahead of Release

Posted by tarjavirmakari on May 20, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: UNDECAYED. Leave a comment

Swedish death metal horde UNDECAYED are now streaming their debut album “In Death’s Image” in full, ahead of its official release tomorrow, on May 21st via Lethal Scissor Records.

With “In Death’s Image”, UNDECAYED carve their legacy in bone and fire, honoring the old ways while asserting their own brutal identity.

Experience the full onslaught HERE.

Likely the first album ever released with the word ‘death’ in the title of every song, “In Death’s Image” takes its thematic obsession to another level: in one track, the word for ‘death’ is even sung in 19 different languages. The album’s lyrics paint a grim and absolute vision of annihilation—”Death” arrives on Earth in a physical form, surpassing any concept of a god, to extinguish all existence. No one and nothing is spared: humans, animals, vegetation, water, air—everything dies. There is NO hope for life.

Tracklist:

1 – The World Shall Know Only Death
2 – Death’s Only Demand
3 – The Descendants Of Death
4 – In Death’s Image
5 – Death Shall Come (Death Shall Prevail)
6 – Death’s Pallid Coat
7 – World At Death’s Door
8 – Entreating Death In Vain
9 – The Greatest Death

All music composed by Mikael Bergman
All lyrics written by Tony Richter
Cover artwork by renowned artist Jon Zig

UNDECAYED was formed in August 2008 by Tony Richter (vocals) and Mikael Bergman (guitars) as a result of lineup issues in their respective bands, 9th Plague and Disromance. The two had played together in several bands throughout the ’90s and early 2000s, most notably Gardens of Obscurity and The Darksend. Initially, Richter and Bergman were joined by Disromance drummer Johnny Augustsson. Bassist Christoffer Svensson joined in 2009, and in 2014, drummer Jesper Leidbring replaced Augustsson.

The idea that every song should include the word “death” in its title emerged in 2010, both to emphasize that this was true DEATH metal and because such a concept had never been done before. The demo “The Triumph of Death” was recorded in late 2010 and released in January 2011. It was then decided that no further demos would be released before the debut album.

Over the years, family matters, work commitments, health issues, the loss of two rehearsal spaces, and lineup changes all contributed to periods of forced inactivity and delays. It wasn’t until the Covid-19 pandemic that the band was finally able to complete their album “In Death’s Image”.

Line-up:

Tony Richter – vocals
Mikael Bergman – guitars
Christoffer Svensson – bass
Jesper Leidbring – drums
