• WOODHAWK Reveals First Single “Strangers Ever After” From New Album “Love Finds A Way” Out June 2025

  Apr 11, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Canadian stoner rock powerhouse Woodhawk returns with the announcement of their highly anticipated third studio album, “Love Finds A Way,” set for release on June 6, 2025, via Grand Hand Records. The Calgary trio of Turner Midzain (guitar/vocals), Mike Badmington (bass), and Kevin Nelson (drums) are also dropping the record's first single, “Strangers Ever After,” toda,y giving fans their first taste of new Woodhawk material since 2019's acclaimed “Violent Nature”. The band comments on the new single:

  “This was the first song we wrote for this album. And I think we reworked it more than any song. It started out with a completely different feel and timing than what we ended up with. It was way darker. But we kept coming back to it and really loved the result. Strangers Ever After is a kind of demise of a relationship. The farewell to someone that maybe…you were better off never knowing. This is dark and honest.”

  “Love Finds A Way” marks an evolution in the band's creative journey. Their earlier work was very much influenced by bands like The Sword and Black Sabbath, with lyrics about wizards and goblins, but they've worked hard on bringing more emotion to their writing. The nine-track album promises to deliver the dynamic range fans have come to expect from Woodhawk, featuring what Midzain describes as ‘some really riff-rocking songs, but also a lot of hardship and honesty'.

  “Strangers Ever After” showcases the band's signature blend of classic hard rock sensibilities and modern stoner metal influences, delivering the infectious grooves and memorable hooks that have earned Woodhawk a devoted following since their formation in 2014. They are recommended for fans of The Sword, Red Fang, and Thin Lizzy.

• FROGG Display Technical Metal Wizardy In New Animated Video "Interspecific Hybrid Species" Off Debut Album "Eclipse" (Co-Produced by Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me, The Contortionist, Scale the Summit))

  Apr 2, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  

  Unelashing their technical modern metal marvel, the debut album "Eclipse" this past March, New York's FROGG is exhibiting their new animated music video "Interspecific Hybrid Species" in support of the record, co-produced by guitarist/vocalist Sky Moon Clark and Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me, The Contortionist, Scale the Summit).

  Full of proggy goodness, the track has a strong message about climate change coming for us all.

  "Interspecific Hybrid Species is an intensely proggy, mind-bending epic that weaves intricate chaos with relentless precision, delivering a whirlwind of technical wizardry and amphibious fury," adds the band.

  Watch and listen to the music video "Interspecific Hybrid Species" via its premiere on HeavyBlogIsHeavy HERE.

  Frogg's first full-length features ten tracks of heavy, raw, progressive, death, and avant-garde thinking metal. Fans who have been following Frogg since their conception will find exactly what they signed up for, along with lots of fun surprises. The band doesn't operate in one genre all the time, and "Eclipse" is set to wonder.

  "A sonic eclipse where every genre collides—progressive, technical, and just enough death to keep your neck sore for weeks," adds bassist Ethan Emery.

  Lyrically, the record explores Mythology from various places, along with tying tales and emotions together. Fans can expect seasonal singles from Frogg going forward as they already have plans for follow-up singles to come real soon after the album's release.

  FROGG’s main ambition is to hit the live circuit with a perfected performance and its brand-new line-up. With performance in mind, FROGG has been relentlessly rehearsing new original material and old, to deliver an authentic live experience.

  Committed to technical excellence and progressive innovation, Frogg is recommended for fans of weird and wild and fans who appreciate bands such as Protest the Hero, Between the Buried and Me, Zenith Passage, Unexpect, and Obscura.

  "Eclipse" was released on March 7, 2025, and is available at ​https://froggofficial.bandcamp.com​.

• THESE CURSED HANDS Conjure An Amalgamation Of Metal Genres In New Video For “Perihelion”

  Mar 28, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Emerging from Portland, OR's thriving metal underground, These Cursed Hands has unveiled a visually stunning new video for “Perihelion”, a track from their conceptual EP “Intelligent (RE)Design”, released in November 2024.

  These Cursed Hands continue to push the boundaries of modern metal, crafting a distinctive sound that seamlessly fuses black, progressive, core, death, and thrash metal elements. Their latest EP weaves a dark narrative of divine beings who, weary of humanity's existence, engineer a cybernetic fungal evolution through possessive spores. The theme draws inspiration from “The Terminator”, “The Last of Us”, and “Resident Evil” while incorporating themes from Norse mythology, Christianity, and Satanism. They comment on the track and the album:

  “Musically this album is a dynamic array of sounds and styles, featuring everything from melodic death and black metal to chunky deathcore and brutal death, with even some more ambient sections to haunt the listener. Perihelion is our most structurally complex song, moving between haunting ambiance, crushing death metal, and deathcore riffs.”

  These Cursed Hands has earned a reputation for their electrifying live performances, featuring programmed lighting, theatrical props, masks, and raw energy that transforms venues into apocalyptic landscapes. Their vocal aggression, earthshaking heaviness, explosive rhythm, and face-melting riffage regularly annihilate whole audiences, leaving only ashen smears where fans once stood. As the sun rises on these scenes of sonic devastation, the few remaining survivors will pull themselves from the rubble and spread the cursed word. They are recommended for fans of The Black Dahlia Murder, Dark Tranquility, and Thy Art is Murder.
