VIRGIN STEELE Will Release 35th Anniversary Box Set in November!

by

Posted: 09/18/2018


US Metal legends VIRGIN STEELE will release with “Seven Devils Moonshine” a special 5 CD box set for their 35th anniversary.
Founder and mastermind David DeFeis explains the whole boxset:
“Cheers, Greetings & Salutations Dear Ever Faithful Eternal Metal Listeners and Friends of the Musical Realm & Written Word Domain! I am putting pen to paper today to inform you all about what we have been doing over the past year and what this Box-Set you are now holding in your hands is all about, its backstory…how we arrived here at this place, and perhaps a bit more about where we might be heading.  
As some of you may know we have been re-issuing the VIRGIN STEELE Catalogue bit by bit over the past several years, and in doing so we have consistently been adding copious amounts of Bonus Material to accompany all these various re-issue offerings. The last two albums scheduled as part of the re-issue campaign we began, are the albums: THE BOOK OF BURNING & HYMNS TO VICTORY. When those two albums first appeared they were released simultaneously, therefore we thought why not once again issue them at the exact same time, but…this time let’s include a brand new album and create a kind of Box Set package. Well…once we began planning and recording for such an endeavor we very soon accumulated far more material than what could possibly fit on one disc…so…we thought OK fine…we’ll plan on releasing two new discs chock full of new material to go along with these last two re-issues…and…shortly after that decision was made, we managed to record even more new material, so now we have in addition to the two re-issues, (which by the way do contain one bonus track each), well Friends we now have actually three brand new discs of VS material included within this special Box Set release!  
I wish to stress the fact that what we have done here with our Box Set is include 3 brand new albums, not bundle in merely a collection of old bonus tracks we had hanging around for ages and ages… These 3 new discs contain either brand new original songs written and recorded within just these past few months, or brand new re-written covers of songs that we enjoy and felt could be re-cast in the VS style, or…new recordings of classic VS material done either in a special orchestral type setting or stripped way down and re-imagined in vastly different form. Again at the risk of repetition…these aren’t tracks that have been sitting around in the vaults waiting…these are all newly recorded tracks completed specifically for this particular Box Set release. I don’t know if anyone has ever done this kind of thing before, but we felt that for us it was absolutely necessary to do this, and it makes perfect sense for where we are…at this moment.  
OK Friends with glass in hand as is only proper as proprietor of the Vineyard, I shall be your guide to this Netherworld and I shall discuss and try to reveal a bit of something about the “Spirit” and “Flavor” of each of the 5 Discs contained within this Epic Box Set we call: SEVEN DEVILS MOONSHINE.”

SPV / Steamhammer is proud to release this boxset on November 23rd, 2018 incl 5 CDs (a total of 88 songs) where 3 CDs contain totally new songs and new versions. The package will also include a sticker and a 24 page booklet with new lyrics and photos by David DeFeis.

To be a metalhead is the greatest gift on earth – from the day you heard the first notes of a Judas Priest or Iron Maiden song, you´re addicted to this kind of music! The love and passion for metal makes you to a special person and the power of metal can heal. It makes you stronger and gives you a better life.”

MOONSPELL Kick Off North American Tour Tonight; Release New Live Video

by

Posted: 09/07/2018


Portuguese dark metal pioneers MOONSPELL start their North American tour alongside Amorphis, Dark Tranquility and Ominum Gatherum tonight in New York City at the sold out Gramercy Theater.  The tour will run through October 14thin Clifton Park, NY.  A complete list of dates can be found below.
Additionally, MOONSPELL has released  a live video for the track “Extinct”, taken from their latest offering, Lisboa Under The Spell.  Watch the video HERE.
Fernando Ribeiro on the video:
“Now that the DVD is out, I guess a lot of our fans already made up their minds about it and I guess rather were as surprised about its final epic form as we were surprised by the, no-bullshit, honest and very solid reactions to our new LIVE release, praise, great reviews, chart entries at all. As far as I am concerned LIVE releases don’t make the cut sometimes. That’s why the Lisboa Under the Spell you might or might not have already in your hands was so carefully thought out and packaged, reminding us of the very few LIVE releases that make us sit in the couch and watch or listen the hell out of. Records like Life After Death (Maiden), Earth Inferno (Fields of the Nephilim) and a few others. Those, with all due respect, were the ones who inspired us to do better. The addition of the album Extinct makes perfect sense to us, as this is the musical thread we are going to follow with the next opus and also because that was the last date of our very dear Road To Extinction tour that started off in 2015 and ended in our hometown, Lisbon on February 2017 e.v. We hope you enjoy this new clip from the title song “Extinct,” featuring the lovely and dangerous Portuguese actress Carolina Torres, brandishing the sword and watching her pack rocking out. Before the lights go out.”
Lisboa Under The Spell wasn’t just a usual concert. MOONSPELL played their first two full length studio albums Wolfheart and Irreligious plus their 2015 album Extinctall on one evening. As a plus, they were filmed during the whole day from the early morning until the middle of the night. All this was put together as a Rockumentary on this DVD set. It’s a must have for every MOONSPELLfan!  Purchase your copy HERE.

WOLFHEART – Release Shocking Video For “TheSaw”

Posted: 09/06/2018

Second Single From Constellation Of The Black Light Out Now!

[photo by Mike Sirèn]
The wolves just released the second single, “The Saw,” from their upcoming album last Friday via Napalm Records. It’s the second part of the story about the Constellation Of The Black Light and it is a very dark and brutal one. Today WOLFHEART releases the official music video to “The Saw” that will freeze the blood in your veins. The pictures below give a first impression of what to expect in the video:

The sparse piano lines and Tuomas Saukkonen’s distinctive voice transform the sheer compulsion and rawness of Northern nature combined with yearning melancholy into music. It’s demanding raw Finnish Coldness with beauty of northern lights and crushing force of winter!
Tuomas Saukkonen about the video:
“Wanting to beat somebody up with brass knuckles attached to a sword covered with your own teeth you just pulled without a blink of an eye just to make it hurt more…that is the definition of Finnish SISU (will power strong as the iron mined from the bedrock of north)”
Don’t click on the video HERE if you are one of the faint-hearted –
it will make you cringe!
Watch the official “Breakwater” music video HERE:

WOLFHEART‘s music videos are always very intense and have a deep connection to the concept behind the band, since they are all done by the band themselves, from production to editing. So it is no surprise, that their video for “The Flood”from 2017 got more than 1.2 million views so far.
“The Saw” is the second single from the upcoming new album Constellation Of The Black Light that will be released on September 28 via Napalm Records.

Pre-Order Constellation Of The Black Light HERE!
Constellation Of The Black Light is available in the following formats:

LAMB OF GOD Releases Animated Music Video for BURN THE PRIEST Cover of Ministry’s “Jesus Built My Hotrod”

Posted: 08/24/2018

atch Now via http://jesus.lamb-of-god.com/
 
BURN THE PRIEST | Legion: XX | Out Now
Featuring Covers of Classics by Cro-Mags, Bad Brains, Big Black, Ministry, Melvins, Quicksand and More
 

 

RIAA-certified, Billboard chart-topping, five-time Grammy nominated Richmond, VA band LAMB OF GOD recently released their full-length covers album as BURN THE PRIEST, Legion: XX, via Epic Records. The album is a collection of songs reflecting the greatness of the classic punk, hardcore, crossover and noise artists that influenced them in their formative years, released in celebration of BURN THE PRIEST‘s upcoming 20th anniversary.
LAMB OF GOD is pleased to reveal a brand new, Heath Bradley-animated video for their BURN THE PRIEST cover of the Ministry hit, “Jesus Built My Hotrod”. Watch the video now here: http://jesus.lamb-of-god.com/
Guitarist Mark Morton says about the track: “This was a benchmark song from the early 90s. We didn’t even originally plan on doing it – producer Josh Wilbur and I learned it real quickly and put it together. It turned out to be one of our favorite songs of the album. It features a side of Randy that people aren’t used to hearing. Nothing was planned, so it felt fun, and we just went for it.”
 
In conjunction with the video premiere, Legion: XX is now available for a special discounted price via iTunes! Make sure to grab your digital copy of Legion: XX for just $7.99 now via this link – but hurry – this sale price is only valid for one week: https://btp.lnk.to/legionxx/iTunes
While online, make sure to check out BURN THE PRIEST‘s two other previously released videos from Legion: XX – for the Accused‘s “Inherit The Earth” and Big Black‘s “Kerosene“.
LAMB OF GOD may be one of the biggest bands in modern metal, but they will never forget where they came from. Mark Morton (guitar), John Campbell (bass), and Chris Adler (drums) formed the first incarnation of the band, BURN THE PRIEST, in the winter of 1994 after meeting four years earlier as students at Virginia Commonwealth University. Less than a year later, in the summer of 1995, they met vocalist Randy Blythe before adding Chris Adler’s brother, Willie Adler (guitar), prior to transitioning to LAMB OF GOD – and the rest is global metal history.
The tracks on Legion: XX are performed with the unmistakable precision that has kept LAMB OF GOD vital for two decades, but ultimately harks back to the raw, punk-driven sound first explored by four unsuspecting college students and a line cook-turned-vocalist in their beginnings as heavy music giants. Produced with Josh Wilbur at the helm, Legion: XX exhibits BURN THE PRIEST in their true element.
Additional stream/purchasing options for Legion: XX and pick up merch bundles now via http://smarturl.it/LegionXX. At the official store, you can also order a 7″ vinyl version of “Inherit the Earth” featuring a B-side of “In the Meantime” (originally performed by Helmet).
 
Legion: XX track listing:
1. Inherit The Earth (originally performed by the Accused)
2. Honey Bucket (originally performed by Melvins)
3. Kerosene (originally performed by Big Black)
4. Kill Yourself (originally performed by S.O.D.)
5. I Against I (originally performed by Bad Brains)
6. Axis Rot (originally performed by Sliang Laos)
7. Jesus Built My Hotrod (originally performed by Ministry)
8. One Voice (originally performed by Agnostic Front)
9. Dine Alone (originally performed by Quicksand)
10. We Gotta Know (originally performed by Cro-Mags)

MUSHROOMHEAD Releases Eerie New Music Video for “Devils Be Damned”

by

Posted: 08/16/2018

Filmed Inside of the Ohio State Reformatory, a.k.a. Shawshank Prison
 
Watch Here
 
Massive Upcoming DVD, VOLUME III, out Tomorrow, August 17, 2018
Pre-Order Now via Amazon | Watch the “We Are The Truth” Music Video Here
Influential Cleveland, Ohio-based metal pioneers MUSHROOMHEAD will release their highly-anticipated upcoming DVD, VOLUME III – a follow up to the widely-acclaimed DVD’s Volume 1 (2005) and Volume 2 (2008) – tomorrow, August 17, 2018. The DVD will feature over 90 minutes of new material – including stunning new music videos, backstage antics, and exclusive never-seen-before content. Pre-orders are available now via Amazon.
Following up on their terrifying, cinema-quality music video for the alternate version of their track, “We Are The Truth” (which has garnered over 1.7 million views since it’s release in early July), MUSHROOMHEAD is thrilled to reveal another new music video cut from VOLUME III and their most recent and successful charting album, The Righteous & The Butterfly (the album debuted at #20 on the Billboard Top 200, #1 on the Billboard Independent Chart, and #1 on the Billboard Hard Rock Chart) – this time for the track “Devils Be Damned”. Watch the video here via VEVO: https://youtu.be/Q9OcW0n2eDY
The video is a complete DIY production filmed on location at the historic Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio – known as one of the most haunted buildings in the country and the main setting of the 1994 cinematic classic, The Shawshank Redemption, starring Hollywood legends Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins.
In a recent interview with Ultimate Guitar, MUSHROOMHEAD producer/drummer/founder Steve “Skinny” Felton explained, “‘Devils Be Damned’ [was filmed at] the Mansfield Prison [Ohio State Reformatory] which is also the prison where the movie The Shawshank Redemption was filmed. So there’s a cool backstory there. There’s a scene [in the video] where the little girl is crawling through the tunnel – that’s the same tunnel that Tim Robbins crawled through at the end of the movie – you know, the whole ‘Andy Dufresne – who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side.’ line – that’s the same tunnel she crawled through.”
MUSHROOMHEAD recently announced several VOLUME III DVD signings scheduled to take place along their upcoming The Summer of Screams headline tour, presented by Scream Factory and Dread Central. See below for a full listing of signings and tour dates. DVDs will be available for purchase at each signing, and the band will appear in full costume.

by

Posted: 08/07/2018


Through their unique and heavy sound, over the top live performances and the mesmerizing voice of singer supreme Tatiana, Ukraine based band JINJER have quickly become one the most talked about names in the heavy metal landscape today.  Fresh off a short North American tour, that saw multiple sold-out shows and the band’s first ever appearance at the Heavy MTL Festival, JINJER are set to return to the U.S. as direct support to DevilDriver.  The tour kicks off October 23rd in Phoenix, AZ on October 23rd and runs through November 18th in San Diego, CA.  A complete list of dates can be found below.
The reviews of JINJER‘s first live shows in North America have been nothing short of spectacular:
These guys blew me away, fierce, fast and hungry. For me they stole the show, can’t wait to see them again.
-Metal Wani-
If there is only one thing to be said, it is “Holy Fuck!”
-Yell Magazine-
They sifted through their six-songs set striking a great balance between musical complexity and brutal neck-breaking groove
-Sonic Perspectives-
Their sound is unique and implements a ton of groove which bodes well with Tatiana’s complex vocal range which goes from incredibly low harsh tones to a beautiful and melodic singing
-Metal Nexus-
Says the band of the upcoming tour:
“It is hard to express how delighted we are to join the upcoming tour with mighty DevilDriver this Fall. Folks, be prepared for a devastating force on stage this October-November. JINJER will come back to the US with new songs, and our American fans will check them live first. It is gonna be hell of a tour!”
