Phoenix pop-punk favorites DOLL SKIN have announced the release date for their upcoming sophomore LP MANIC PIXIE DREAM GIRL, in stores June 16th via EMP LABEL GROUP/AMPED, and in Europe via EMP/SPV. Produced and Mixed by Cage9 frontman Evan Rodaniche (Lacey Sturm, Powerman 5000), MANIC is the follow up to Doll Skin’s EMP debut, 2016’s IN YOUR FACE (AGAIN), Produced by Grammy Award winning Megadeth bassist David Ellefson, which garnered massive Worldwide press, spawned multiple singles including, “Family of Strangers”, “Let’s Be Honest”, and “Furious Fixation”. 2016 saw the band tour much of the year with Otep, Lacey Sturm, Fire From The Gods, Hellyeah, Dead Kennedys, Escape The Fate, September Mourning, Through Fire, and more, capping off the year with a spot on Alternative Press’s list of “7 of the Best Rising Bands Under 21”, before settling in to record their new record.

Not to be outdone by last year, the band kicked off 2017 in equally notable fashion with a packed hometown show supporting John 5, and the announcement that the band would join the lineup of the 2017 VANS WARPED TOUR from June 16-25, appearing on the “Hard Rock” Stage alongside Metal and Punk Icons including The Dickies, Municipal Waste, Strung Out, The Adolescents, The Ataris, TSOL, (and their previous Otep tour-mates FIRE FROM THE GODS) and more .

In addition to the stint on Warped Tour, Doll Skin has announced a run of headlining dates in April and May, as well as the release of “Shut Up (You Miss Me)” the first single from MANIC PIXIE DREAM GIRL.

Drummer Meghan Herring says, “How excited are we for Warped Tour?? Psyched. Ecstatic. Beside ourselves. We’re feeling it all at once. Before we were even a band, I would go to Warped with the girls. Now our names are on the poster. It’s a surreal feeling. The lineup this year is absolutely incredible as well. Let’s do this!!!”

And on the subject of the new album Herring adds, “We are so crazy excited for this new record to be released!! The sophomore album is an entirely different beast. It’s colorful, loud, and all over the place. It really shows the world who we are.”

Vocalist Sydney Dolezal adds: “I am so excited to be hitting the road again this spring! We’ve got some great new tunes that we know you’ll all love, and I can’t wait to see all of our friends and fans around the country!”

David Maloney tells about Metalheads Forever:
“Metalheads Forever was created on October 15th, 2010 because of a life long love and passion for Metal. It was started with the intent to satisfy some of my Metal needs as well as a few close Metal friends. Like any great thing it started with one, then two, than three and 6 years later 82,000 plus members and fans make us one of the biggest and baddest Metal entities on the face of the Earth. What started out as a hobby and purely for fun as turned into a something I was not prepared for in the beginning, as we started to grow so did my vision of what we could be and what we could become. Day by day, week by week and yes year by year I could see that this was a Globally shared passion with very few outlets to just be a Metalhead and enjoy the company of lifelong Metalheads and like minded people. So here we sit 6 years later, 43 subgroups covering nearly all sub-genres, being a force on all social Platforms from Twitter to Youtube and everything in between. This is just the beginning for us! \m/”

 

DOLL SKIN: New Video “Furious Fixation” Premieres

DollSkin

Phoenix, Arizona Hard Rock Band DOLL SKIN premiered their latest video for their fourth single “Furious Fixation” from the band’s debut LP, “In Your Face (Again)” produced by Megadeth‘s David Ellefson today via Bravewords! The video can be seen HERE.

The video was shot entirely on location near Gettysburg, Pa and includes exclusive video footage from Wasteland, who in turn invited the band to play at their Wasteland Weekend event in September. Details can be found here.

“We are so beyond excited to be a part of the crazy world that is Wasteland Weekend! It’s been a dream of ours to play this for a long time, so it’s pretty surreal. They were so generous with their footage for our music video, we couldn’t be happier with how it looks.” -Meghan Herring/Doll Skin

Todd Chamberlain of High Rock Pictures who directed the video said, “It is with great pleasure that I present this music video for release and distribution. Working with Doll Skin and David Ellefson has been an incredible honor. The girls of Doll Skin are true performers and they worked so hard on this video. It was a long day on set, and everyone held up like a trooper. To say that the girls of Doll skin are talented is an understatement. Not only are they musically inclined, but have a good sense of what is needed for other aspects such as filming, and they have their act together better than half the people I know three times their age. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for these young ladies.”

“Furious Fixation is a powerful song about the fall of society all around the world and how it becomes like the dystopian society you see in the movie Mad Max. The song gives you the feeling that you’re a part of this society and you’re having to fight for your survival.” – Sydney Dolezal/Doll Skin

Cameos in the video were graciously provided by:

Jim Krut: The Helicopter Zombie in George Romero’s (God rest his soul) original 1978 Dawn of the Dead. Jim has many acting credits and is still active in the business, including co-starring in High Rock’s upcoming Indy horror flick “Sideling Hill”. He is also active on the Horror con circuit, attending many shows each year to meet with the fans. Jim is also a Vietnam Veteran.

Vernon Wells: Vernon has a long and distinguished acting career. He is from Australia and is one hell of a kind hearted gentleman. He appeared in “Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior”(1981) with Mel Gibson, “Weird Science”(1985), and “Commando”(1985) with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and much, much more. We are extremely grateful and honored to have him in this video.

“In Your Face (Again)” was released this week on limited edition vinyl in 4 colors, Pink, Green, Blue, and Red, available from select retailers and empmerch.com

Currently, the band is on the “Equal Rights, Equal Lefts” Tour with Otep.
