  NARCOTIC WASTELAND's New Music Video "Barbarian" Encourages You To Break The Chains! Live! Be Free! And Find Your Own Path!

  + Tour Dates w/ Pyrexia + SwarmFest (Tampa, FL)

  Gearing up to unleash their new album "Digital Cordyceps" out on Megaforce Records in 2024 (release date TBD) to follow their 2017 breakout sophomore album "Delirium Tremens". Narcotic Wasteland, fronted by ex-Nile guitarist/vocalist Dallas Toler-Wade along with drummer Joseph Howard (Fields of Elysium), Neuromorphic) and bassist Kenji Tsunami (Tegmentum), the trio unveil their new music video for the single "Barbarian" that they shared this past summer before their 2024 Summer tour dates that were in honor of Wade's 50th birthday and the 10th anniversary of Narcotic Wasteland's self-titled debut album.

  Directed by Narcotic Wasteland bassist Kenji Tsunami (Tsunami Films), the video showcases the sheer death thrash force of the band in the studio and live!

  Dallas Toler-Wade comments on the track:

  "For me, Barbarian is a prime example of me doing the thing I love and that defines me the most. Continuously striving to improve my craft as a musician and a songwriter. But also the overall message of this song. Live!!! Be free!!! Find your own path!!! Question everything!!! And also we don't need politicians or religion to shape our moral centers. In fact, It seems they distort the truth every chance they get. This whole album cycle has seemed to have this recurring theme about the narcissistic oligarchy that we have all fallen victim to. I Dallas Toler- Wade the barbarian will fight this mockery until I leave the land of the living, and even after that, my powerful voice will echo through the halls of time!!! Because I am a barbarian!!!"

• INFRARED Take You Back To The Glory Days Of Thrash With New Album “Manifestation”

  Sep 6, 2024 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  ​Ottawa, Canada’s Infrared proudly presents their new music video "Manifest Nation" for their latest album “Manifestation” set to release on September 6, 2024. As purveyors of classic thrash metal, Infrared’s roots run deep, having first gained acclaim in the 80s with their hit “Thoughts Caught (in Between)”. Since then, they have released 3 albums and two EPs with Manifestation as the fourth full-length album. They share their excitement:

  “With life as busy as it is and some life challenges plaguing the band, the release has been delayed a few times. This is the longest we have sat on a finished album. With determination, we ramped up and filmed four videos and did all it takes to put together what the fans want, new classic thrash metal with a modern feel.”

  The single “Manifest Nation” rips and grooves all the way through while singing about a society losing itself and its way. They try to manifest a better life, but with all the technological distractions, they never achieve their goal.

  With the album “Manifestation”, Infrared has taken inventory and assessed its back catalog, and looked to see what it could improve on. The result is straight-to-the-point songs that are high in energy and aggression all while staying true to the classic thrash sound. This barn burner of an album is recommended for fans of Exciter, Sacrifice, and Razor.

  Due out September 6, 2024, “Manifestation” is available for order at https://infraredmetal.bandcamp.com​​

  Track Listing:​
  1. Cataclysm (2:07)

• YESTERDAY'S HERO Unleash Bottled Up Social Emotions In New Music Video For Title Track Off Debut Album "Ways To Hate" Out Now!

  Aug 31, 2024 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Releasing their debut album "Ways To Hate" this past November, Ohio alternative metal quintet Yesterday's Hero has a new music video to share for the title track. The song is groovy and gives you no choice but to headbang along. The theme of the video was all the "Ways to Hate" that have been thrown upon people through politics, religion, and social media.

  Yesterday's Hero's first full-length "Ways To Hate" features seven hard-knocking tracks that take listeners through the emotions of a struggling bleeding heart at the end of a tumultuous relationship. Musically, it's a fusion of high-energy grooves with timeless melodies to get your blood pumping and moshing in the pit.

  In a digital age of singles, Yesterday's Hero went analog for this record as they would like those listening to experience each track finishing and ready for the next. The tracklisting was arranged in an order specifically to create a feel of an album experience, not just one single.

  "We pride ourselves on using raw gritty tube amps, no backing tracks or plug-ins. There is no need for a laptop as we intentionally step back from today's norm. What you hear on the record is what you'll hear live, note for note. We have simple intentions along with catchy riffs with relatable lyrics. We want to give music fans a nostalgic taste for our music experience with a bit of new raw live sound." says the band.

  Having shared the stage with bands such as Escape the Fate, Powerman5000, The Convalescence, and Gemini Syndrome, among many others, Yesterday's Hero is recommended for fans of Chevelle, Rise Against, Killswitch Engage, Godsmack, and Seether.

  Released on November 24, 2023, "Ways To Hate" is available on all digital platforms at https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/yesterdayshero/ways-to-hate and https://yesterdayshero.bandcamp.com (CD/digital).

• RED CAIN's New Scorching Single "Firestarter" Takes Inspiration From Roleplaying Game "Elden Ring"

  Aug 30, 2024 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  A year after their break-out third album, 2023's “NÄE'BLISS”, which had its single "Fisher King" nominated by Calgary's YYC Music Awards for "Metal Recording of The Year", power prog storytellers RED CAIN return in 2024 with their first taste of new music.

  Entitled "Firestarter", this first single of 2024 is loosely based on the lore of the action role-playing game "Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree". The band spent a lot of their time this year playing this fantastic release. Elden Ring is not only a brilliant game and a visual masterpiece, but also a storytelling phenomenon that deliberately has lore gaps to let fans and players create their own stories and interpretations of the lore. This strongly resonates with Red Cain's approach as musicians, as they always write music for their fans to read in unique ways and weave into their mythology.

  "Firestarter" is also a new statement for Red Cain, as they continue to embrace a modern sound and reinvent their songwriting. You will hear a lot more groove and synth backing on this one, along with the same anthemic hooks, technical riffs, and vocal layering they are known for.

  Listen to "Firestarter" at the following links:

  Spotify - https://spoti.fi/4e4bFap

  Bandcamp - https://redcain.bandcamp.com​

  Red Cain, from Calgary, Canada is a modern progressive metal project with Eastern European roots. They have been making waves since their first release in 2016, with award-winning music videos and concept albums “Kindred: Act I”, “Kindred: Act II” and "NÄE'BLISS". The albums contained a ton of genre inspirations, from gothic rock to ambient electronica, power, black, and death metal, and were universally lauded for their inventiveness, variety, and strong conceptual content. They continue this momentum with forthcoming releases.

  Red Cain is:​
  Evgeniy Zayarny – Vocals
  Samuel Ridout – Guitar
  Oman Costa – Guitar
  Taylor Gibson - Drums
