  • PRISONER Announces "Kill The King Tour" (BC/AB) In Support of New EP "House of Cards" Out Now!

     

    ​High-energy Canadian rock band Prisoner announces it will be hitting the road across British Columbia and Alberta (dates listed below) this coming May and June. Entitled "Kill The King Tour", the show dates will be in support of their follow-up album to be released in June 2025 to their 2024 EP "House of Cards". Album details will revealed at later date.

    “We can not wait to share what we have been working on this past year. Getting out on the road and sharing experiences with the music community is a privilege we are lucky to have.

Every artist says this, but this album is our best work to date, and it will prove we are here to stay," adds Murray Emery (guitar/vocals).

    Bringing you hard-hitting riffs and unmistakably tight grooves, Prisoner's latest EP is a conglomeration of music with multiple elements from varying sub-genres.

  • New York's ARC Releases New Video For “Ghost Lights” Ahead Of April Tour Dates With Visions Of Atlantis + "Awaken The Machine" EP Out Now!

     

    Genre-defying metal NYC outfit ARC will be joining symphonic metal maestros Visions of Atlantis for two exclusive shows this April, bringing their extraordinary multimedia spectacle to lucky fans in Mechanicsburg, PA, and Brooklyn, NY. Ahead of this, they are releasing the video for their single “Ghost Lights,” which comes off the 2023 EP “Awaken The Machine”.

    Founded on visionary Sonny Angell's ambition to create a performance-based band with boundary-pushing music, ARC has rapidly established itself as one of the most innovative acts in modern metal. The band's philosophy ‘ARC EVOLVES' drives their constant reinvention and elevation of both their sound and stage presence. They comment on what is in store:

    “We constantly try to raise the bar, enhance our stage show, expand our thematic elements, and experiment with different musical styles. ARC is ambiguously mysterious, ARC is energy and machines. Human interpretations are on stage playing the music, however, ARC is all around us. Information being transmitted from... Somewhere in parts of your brain, you didn’t know you had.”

    The band performs with meticulously planned choreography, custom costumes, specialized stage lighting, props, and synchronized on-screen visuals—all managed by a dedicated stage manager who travels with the band exclusively to orchestrate their technical production.

    ARC's music seamlessly fuses the brutality and melody of extreme metal with retro-futuristic synth-wave electronica, creating an all-out assault on the senses. Their frenetic live shows combine lasers, smoke, blood, sweat, and the band's relentless energy in a performance experience that must be witnessed to be believed. They are recommended for fans of Rammstein, Dark Tranquility, and Dance with the Dead.

    Watch and listen to the video from "Ghost Lights" below.

    Their latest EP, "Awaken The Machine", is available on Arc-evolves.bandcamp.com and Spotify.

    Show Dates w/ Visions of Atlantis
    April 2 - Mechanicsburg, PA - Lovedrafts
