  • ROBIN MCAULEY Shares Title Track from New Solo Album 'Soulbound'

    ROBIN MCAULEY proudly shares the title track from his upcoming solo album, 'Soulbound,' due February 28th via Frontiers Music Srl.

     

    About the single, MCAULEY shared this:

     

    "Very excited about the release of another single 'Soulbound' the title track from my new and third solo record on Frontiers Music Srl. I can’t wait for you to hear this and I know you are going to love it.

    Check Out the New Lyric Video for "'Soulbound" HERE

     

    His new solo album sees MCAULEY's voice continuing to defy time, sounding as inspired and powerful as ever. Definitively more guitar-driven straight hard rock compared to his previous albums, 'Soulbound' is still wonderfully melodic, infectious, and fist-in-the-air uplifting.

     

    MCAULEY comments on the album:

     

    "I can't wait to share Record #3 with you all from Frontiers Music SRL. 'Soulbound' is a much edgier, harder guitar-driven record than my previous two for the label. In addition, I'm working with a new producer from the Frontiers label, Aldo Lonobile, who brought these songs to life with his Kick-Ass production."

     

    'Soulbound' showcases the respected Irish rock singer's desire to make a strong musical statement in what is proving to be his most creative period.

     

    After reemerging on the recording side of the music industry with guest spots on

    Michael Schenker Fest albums and tours in addition to fronting the hard rock supergroup Black SwanMCAULEY was (and still is) feeling invigorated and ready to explore even more creative output to let the world see that his voice is still as powerful as ever.

     

    Work for 'Soulbound' began in early 2024, following an intense musical period in between tour dates and studio work. With a slightly different production approach compared to the previous album, ROBIN’s vocal performance here is simply outstanding. Truly an iconic voice of the genre, 'Soulbound' solidly delivers the more hard and heavy aspects of this respected artist.

     

    ROBIN's backing band includes some of the previous artists who appeared with him on previous efforts, including guitarist Andrea Seveso, as well as some new talent such as guitarist Alessandro Mammola and drummer Alfonso Mocerino.

     

    'Soulbound' is produced by Aldo Lonobile.

  • Heavy Metallers RIVETSKULL Bring Dio's Legendary Music to Life with New Tour!

    RIVETSKULL, the heavy metal powerhouse known for their electrifying live performances, are hitting the road to honor the legacy of the legendary Ronnie James Dio. Forged in the fires of a shared passion for Dio’s iconic music, RIVETSKULL is embarking on a special series of shows to celebrate the voice and spirit that has inspired countless fans around the globe.

     

    “We owe so much to Ronnie for the decades of powerful, unforgettable music he’s given us—and we know we’re not alone in feeling that way,” the band shares.

     

    The tour combines RIVETSKULL’s own hard-hitting metal with a celebration of Dio’s timeless catalog. Fans can look forward to a 45-minute set of RIVETSKULL’s original music, showcasing their unique sound and energy, followed by a 1-1/2 hour set of Dio’s greatest hits, spanning his legendary work with RainbowBlack Sabbath, and Dio.

     

    “In the streaming era, it’s harder than ever for bands to stand out and connect with true heavy metal fans. Instead of following the same formula, we decided to embrace what makes RIVETSKULL unique by returning to our roots,” the band explains.

     

    “Before forming RIVETSKULL, we toured internationally as a Ronnie James Dio tribute band—not as imitators, but as musicians paying homage to a sound that’s part of our DNA. Dio’s music shaped who we are, and our performances have always been about channeling the power, emotion, and authenticity of his legacy—not just mimicking his look or stage show.

     

    Rather than jumping on tours with mismatched lineups, we’re creating a concert experience that’s built for fans of traditional heavy metal. It’s a night where our original music shares the stage with a celebration of one of the genre’s greatest icons. This is our way to honor the roots of metal while forging our own path.”

    Recently, Mark Hopkins chose to step back from the band to stay home with his family, and Johnny Massey has stepped in on bass.

     

    Fusing raw power with diverse influences, RIVETSKULL crafts heavy, emotionally charged music that explores conflict, resilience, and unity. Their performances, known for intensity and passion, captivate fans across the globe.

     

    RIVETSKULL stands as a beacon of unfiltered heavy metal. This special tour bridges their original music with Dio’s timeless brilliance – a night of unforgettable metal magic.

    Blackened death metal masters THULCANDRA will release their first-ever live album, 'Live Demise,' that celebrates the first chapter and early days of the band!

     

    'Live Demisewas recorded live in 2011 at a hometown show in Munich, Germany, and features true gems that the band hasn't performed in more than a decade, all with the original line-up consisting of Sebastian Ludwig, Tobias Ludwig, Matthias Landes (Dark Fortress, Noneuclid), and Steffen Kummerer (Obscura, Death, Cynic).

     

    Following a video clip for the previously-released live version of "Fallen Angel's Dominion", today, THULCANDRA is premiering "Night Eternal (Live)"!

     

    Band mastermind, Steffen Kummerer, comments:

     

    "With 'Night Eternal' we present you the opening track of our debut album 'Fallen Angel’s Dominion' (2010), taken off our first ever live release 'Live Demise.' Tracked at a hometown show in Munich, Germany a decade ago, we celebrate the early days of the band in a raw and energetic setting, showcasing each member on fire. See you all on our upcoming European run with Sacramentum at a venue near you!"

     

     

    The video clip for "Night Eternal (Live)" is now streaming HERE

    THULCANDRA’s rise to power ignited when the four-piece unleashed their debut album, 'Fallen Angel’s Dominion', upon metaldom in 2010. Followed by their 2011 masterpiece, 'Under a Frozen Sun', 'Live Demise' contains brutal-as-hell classics from both records, like "Black Flags Of Hate""In Blood And Fire" and "The Spirit Of The Night", aptly capturing the spirit and high-voltage energy of both the crowd and band. Ragers such as "Night Eternal" and "Fallen Angel's Dominion" perfectly showcase the band's raw and intense performances in their early days, and prove how THULCANDRA has quickly stepped up as one of the leading bands of their genre!

     

    Due to the pandemic, which was subsequently followed by their latest studio album 'Hail The Abyss', 'Live Demise' could not be released alongside THULCANDRA's 20th anniversary as originally planned. Now, with mixing and mastering by Dan Swanö (Katatonia, Edge Of Sanity, Dissection) and cover artwork designed by Herbert Lochner, this very special release will become available in only strictly limited editions exclusively via Napalm Records and atTHULCANDRA's upcoming live shows - including their European co-headlining run with legendary Swedish black and death metal band Sacramentum with support from Nephylim. The tour begins January 2025; find all upcoming dates listed below!

  • JINJER Drops New Single “Green Serpent” + Official Music Video!

    JINJER reigns as one of the most exciting and promising acts in the current scene! After releasing their chart-topping studio album, 'Wallflowers,' in 2021, which was hailed as “… one of the finest – and most important – metal releases of 2021” by KERRANG! (UK) as well as “a progressive masterpiece” by New Noise Magazine (US), the four-piece entered stages at Europe’s biggest festivals, such as Wacken, Download, and Rock am Ring, just to name a few. With the announcement of their upcoming record 'Duél,' to be released on February 7, 2025, via Napalm Records, JINJER justifies their reputation and delivers an eleven-track offering loaded with technical grooves, heavy progressive passages, and brutal vocals destined to drop jaws. 

     

    Out today, JINJER’s new single, “Green Serpent”, is prime preparation for the band’s new full-length. The song begins with thick grooves and calm, clear vocals by matchless vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk, before transforming into a furious steamroller shortly after. Once more, JINJER nails their balance of various influences, defying all rules and setting their own path.“Green Serpent” has premiered alongside a blistering official music video and is now available on all streaming services worldwide.

     

     

    Watch the official music video for “Green Serpent” HERE

    While JINJER’s previous album, 'Wallflowers,' was slightly more alluring and contained noticeably more clean vocals, 'Duél' now takes on a much more aggressive tone. This is proven by songs like “Rogue”, “Green Serpent” and “Dark Bile”, with their brutal and hefty breakdowns. Fans of super-talented vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk’s clear vocals also get their moments, as tracks such as the opener “Tantrum” show the potential of the frontwoman’s outstanding vocal prowess. 'Duél' presents itself way more cruelly – and JINJER is more vicious than ever before. “Fast Draw” is a wild death metal beast with grooving drums from Vlad Ulasevich, Roman Ibramkhalilov’s one-of-a-kind riffs and Eugene Abdukhanov’s trademark bass wizardry – showing what this band does best: brilliant state-of the-art modern metal.

     

    On 'Duél'JINJER continues their long-lasting collaboration with accomplished producer Max Morton, who co-produced, mixed, and mastered the album. This new masterwork lives up to JINJER’s reputation as metal visionaries, once more showing that the band refuses to follow any set rules in their genre, but choose their own path of creativity.

     

    Eugene Abdukhanov, JINJER bassist on the new album:

     

    “First of all, it‘s hard to believe that we’re about to release our fifth full length album! After all the releases we’ve made, finally having 'Duél' in our hands and ready to be shared with the world, makes us very proud that our band still hasn’t run out of creativity and inspiration. The fact that we still challenge ourselves to release the best music we have ever made with each new release, is what keeps JINJER moving forward. This upcoming album was the longest songwriting process we’ve ever had and it took almost two years to complete. We worked very hard with every free minute we weren’t on tour, recording demos over and over again and always searching for the perfect sound for guitars, bass, and drums. It was also the first time that Tatiana did vocal pre-productions, so it’s safe to say that none of our releases were so well thought out and calculated as this one. It pulverizes the boundaries of the modern progressive metal genre but still remains sophisticated, exciting, and extreme all at the same time. We took up the challenge to expand our musical horizons even wider than before in order to cement Duél to be the next step in JINJER‘s musical growth and hopefully the evolution of metal music in general.”
