• 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!

  Mar 25, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  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.

• SUPER MONSTER PARTY New Single "Nights Into Dreams" - 80's Synthwave Meets Metal Inspired By The Popular Sega Video Game

  Feb 24, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Coming off their exciting performance at 70 Tons of Metal this past January, SUPER MONSTER PARTY (SMP) has a new single and video entitled "Night Into Dreams". The track is an 80's synth wave meets metal and is inspired by the popular Sega video game of the same name. It features guest artists, Lacey Johnson, a popular VGM artist, and the members of Lame Genie on drums, bass, and guitar.

  "I wrote this song to capture the essence of the game, Nights Into Dreams — a realm where the magic of flight, matches the pulse of the joystick, and every riff powers you through a level of chaos and triumph." adds vocalist Rei Sega.

  The single is also their first taste of new music since releasing their latest album "Rage Quit" this past November.

  Spotify - https://spoti.fi/41fdbSd​

  SUPER MONSTER PARTY is a band for all video game nerds, jump’n’run enthusiasts, metalheads, 90s kids, weirdos, and everyone in between – a metal band that’s all about video games, singing from the heroes or villains introspective point of view. Rocking together since 2020, SUPER MONSTER PARTY have already gathered a lot of XP, having a bunch of achievements under their belt, with 4 albums: Rage Quit (2024), Game Genie (2023), Side Quest (2020), Permadeath (2020) and an EP Up Up Down Die (2022). The band is the concept of Singer/Songwriter Rei Sega and features notable members Emilio Martinez (Yngwie Malmsteen) on bass, Fern Lemus (Lions at the Gate) on the drums, Andy Alvarez (Irras One) on rhythm guitar, and Oleh Andrievsky as lead guitarist.

  Their intense, melodic, catchy, and heavy sound shows influences of The Misfits, Rhapsody, Slipknot, NOFX, and Van Halen. The variety of different influences and genres, worshiped by the band, means that they can find the right metal sound for all game themes – each video game universe is authentically set to music, while the skills of the masterful musical chameleon that is SUPER MONSTER PARTY cannot be pinned down to one genre. No two songs sound the same, but one thing is for sure – they all rock hard.

Musically, it is a journey through different moments and places, blending various genres: from 80s disco to Balkan music, all built on a metal foundation. It’s a catchy song, with a chorus that sticks in your mind, radiating big positive energy. Lyrically, the song addresses one of the issues of modern society—the fear of missing out (FOMO).

• CHÜZO Take Over The World w/ Aggro-Metal and New EP "M.T.M.D (Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay)"; Produced by Kevin Jardine (Slaves On Dope)

  Nov 14, 2024 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Montreal, Canada's CHÜZO is ready to take on the metal world with the introduction of their self-described Aggro-Metal and new EP entitled "M.T.M.D (Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay)". The three-track record marks the next chapter and true representation of what their sound is meant to be with the fresh new lineup who are hungry to showcase what this forthcoming EP will spark.

  Produced by Kevin Jardine (Slaves On Dope), the EP is a full audio assault upon all the senses from the heavy riffs to the soaring vocals of Brazilian transplant and new vocalist Mischa M. She is joined by local first-generation Chilean Canadian and mastermind Cristian S. along with Carlos G from Venezuela and Alex S from Russia whom all have found Montreal, Canada to be home to breed their 'Aggro Metal', a blender of grindcore, Swedish death metal and a touch of thrash metal crossed over with hardcore punk.

  "The sound of the band evolved from, initially, grindcore, to hardcore, to now Aggro Metal. This is finally what CHÜZO was meant to sound like after many years and many ex-band members. This mark III version of the band is the final evolution in the sound of CHÜZO." adds Cristian S.

  The EP's lyrics are driven by self-reflection and daily struggles. The inspiration for writing comes from life experiences and trying to live past them, especially the traumatic ones. Using all bad energy from bad experiences to create something positive for yourself and the world. This EP speaks of vengeance and the bad side of dedicating your life to achieving your desired revenge despite your own life and sanity. Brutal Social Justice.

  For fans of Sepultura (Cavalera Bros era 84-96), At the Gates, Napalm Death, Slipknot, and Fuck the Facts, "M.T.M.D (Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay)" is due out on November 15, 2024, and can be heard in full before it officially drops via its stream premiere on Decibel Magazine HERE.
