"Sepultura has reached the end of the road and has chosen to depart via a conscious and planned death.
 
Throughout the next 18 months we will celebrate 40 years of existence together along with our loyal fans on a farewell tour across the entire globe.
 
It will be a celebration of the past and the present for one final time.
 
After 4 decades filled with ups and downs, having visited 80 countries and countless different cultures, we’ve had the chance to become Brazil’s messenger to the world and spread our colors and rhythms worldwide. With our latest studio album Quadra, a highlight of our career, we added an unforgettable chapter followed by the SepulQuarta experience that helped us to overcome the difficult times of the pandemic together. We will unite our forces for one final, strong farewell. And all of you can be a part of it.
 
During this 40th anniversary tour, we will record 40 live tracks in 40 different cities and release a massive compilation of our best, most energetic moments on stage.
We are happy and very grateful for everything we could witness within the past four decades. We have released great albums and played unforgettable shows, cultivated friendships, met our idols, contributed to placing Brazilian metal on the world map, and therefore feel that we can leave the music scene with a sense of duty fulfilled.
 
We’ve always had the best fans in the world, who supported us with praise and criticism, who were demanding and intelligent, who grew together with the band and have always been loyal. Without you, none of this would have been possible. This album and this tour are for you. Dear SepulNation - we love you and always will!
 
Euthanasia, the right to a dignified death. The right to choose to live free and to choose when you die!"

The Closing Song Of The Final KISS Physical Show Will Be Performed On Stage At Madison Square Garden By Their Avatars: Offering Fans A Preview Of A New Era Of KISS That Will Change Music Performance History 

KISS, the legendary rock band known for electrifying live performances over a 50 year career and sales of more than 100 million records worldwide, is marking the end of its physical existence by crossing into the digital world. 

At 11pm EST on Saturday December 2nd at NYC’s Madison Square Garden, at the conclusion of the last show of the final KISS live tour (‘The End Of The Road’), the band will make a surprise handover onstage to their new digital avatars who will perform as an encore ‘God Gave Rock And Roll To You’: marking the withdrawal of the flesh and blood group, yet the continuation of the KISS journey into a new era. The band’s transformation into avatars will ensure their immortalization, while pushing the boundaries of rock and roll performances, as KISS have done throughout their career to date. This avatar performance will feature KISS as fantasy-based superheroes, and will provide a glimpse of just one of the many and varied ways in which KISS will live on as digital performers through their avatars in the future.

Achieved through a partnership with Pophouse Entertainment Group, the Swedish entertainment company renowned for its development of brand-building enterprises in music and entertainment, this end-of-show performance marks the official reveal of plans for a new era of KISS in the near future - which will see avatars of the band perform to fans for decades to come. KISS’s long history of experimenting with special effects and staging, as well as iconic personas and costumes, will evolve through pioneering technology. 

The KISS avatars are created by the George Lucas-founded visual effects company (and Lucasfilm division), Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), who showcase their unique creative expertise and artistry using their advanced performance-capture technology. The technology has enabled ILM to capture the band’s face and body performance, forming the basis of the avatars in combination with ILM’s artistry and machine learning technology, allowing the creative essence of KISS to be able to live on forever. ILM’s previous work includes credits on iconic movies and franchises such as Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and groundbreaking episodic series such as The Mandalorian, amongst others.  

Following the physical band’s final performance, Pophouse Entertainment Group will continue to champion the KISS legacy for fans old and new, and for all generations. The new KISS avatar shows will be the second immersive, avatar-powered music concert project that Pophouse Entertainment is involved in - following the success of the ABBA Voyage show in London, UK, where Pophouse is the lead investor. Thierry Coup - former Chief Creative Officer, SVP at Universal Destinations & Experiences - is announced as the Creative Director of the upcoming avatar show.  

Fans wanting to get the latest information on the new era of KISS and the upcoming avatar show should visit www.kissonline.com   

To coincide with the reveal of their digital transformation, KISS members Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons joined Per Sundin (Pophouse Entertainment CEO), Thierry Coup (Creative Director, JOCOUP Creative), and Grady Cofer (VFX Supervisor, ILM) for a special discussion about the band’s history and the inspiration behind the move into innovative avatar-powered performance. The video of the discussion can be accessed here (and includes a glimpse of the avatars, which will feature at Madison Square Garden and in the future KISS avatar show).

Full Roundtable discussion: https://vimeo.com/890053166/432d6a9749?share=copy 

In the discussion, KISS bassist and co-founder Gene Simmons comments that through partnering with ILM and Pophouse Entertainment, “We can be forever young and forever iconic by taking us to places we've never dreamed of before. The technology is going to make Paul jump higher than he's ever done before.”  

During the conversation, lead vocalist and co-founder of the band Paul Stanley comments: “What we've accomplished has been amazing, but it's not enough. The band deserves to live on because the band is bigger than we are.” He later adds: “It's exciting for us to go the next step and see KISS immortalized. I mean, we've spent 50 years building it to this point. And by working with ILM and working with Pophouse, we're all sharing this vision of taking KISS to a completely different level beyond being just a music band. And we've always thought of ourselves as more than just a music band.” 

Per Sundin, CEO of Pophouse Entertainment, comments: “Pophouse Entertainment Group is thrilled to embark on this transformative journey with KISS, and showcase to fans what is on the horizon as part of future avatar show. Our partnership will fuse the rich history and iconic status of KISS with cutting-edge technology, allowing fans - now and in the future - to experience the band like never before.”

Bagpipes & Rock’n’Roll. If not for the venerable Bon Scott & AC/DC these two things would have remained mutually exclusive. But, for Joetown, it served as inspiration for the style and sound of the band to which they are so proud. Joe gave some insight, “Kerry Gollarney (Guitarist and Bagpiper) is a secret weapon! When those pipes come out the crowd goes f’n mental, it’s like a war cry!”. The new single is a remade version of the Bon Scott era AC/DC classic "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" and is complete with video of the band rolling through the city streets in major civic events such as the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. “The video just happened to work out since we have been doing so many public events, I figured, let’s do it like the original AC/DC video they did through the streets of Melbourne. The song and the video are a way to honor how much the song and lyrics have been an inspiration – they are our musical heroes and I think we capture the spirit of what it is all about.”

Watch the video for'It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll) JOETOWN Version' , here below:
https://armyofonetv.com/joetown-its-a-long-way-to-the-top-if-you-wanna-rock-n-roll-acdc-cover_8e5c5f8a6.html

Frontman Joe Delaney, (also the voice of popular hair rockers Bomber Alley), gives the signal of much more bagpipes in the mix and is excited that the next single is an original tune that features the pipes, “that sound is stuck in my head now and as a songwriter, I hear melody in that register every time, similar to having its a horn section or B3 player.”

The band will be performing at the St Patrick’s Day Parade in Hartford & New Haven Connecticut, USA, March 11th & 12th with a release party at their hometown haunt, Cherry Street Station in Wallingford on St Patrick’s Day, March 17th.

“Good to see this band called Joetown, from another generation and continent, do a very authentic and respectful retake of the iconic AC/DC video that I was involved in 'Long Way To The Top'," says Michael Browning, AC/DC Manager (1974-1979).

Chris Slade (Ex-AC/DC) is quoted as saying, ”Great Pipes!”

40 years of Sodom, 40 years of ruthless thrash metal ‘Made in Germany’. 

What came into being in 1982 in Gelsenkirchen-Buer has lost nothing of its authenticity and rawness, not even four decades later. Tom Angelripper and his men still spearhead a music style that draws its energy from pure determination, intransigence and relentlessness. 

What’s more, Sodom never fails to surprise their fans all over the world. ‘40 Years at War – The Greatest Hell of Sodom’, is a more than worthy anniversary album that – in various formats – sums up the band`s history in an unusual and highly ambitious way. “Our goal was to re-record one song from each of our previous albums,” Tom explains. “Not necessarily the most obvious ones, we wanted to go for rarities or tracks we`ve never or very rarely played live.” 

The CD and vinyl double LP with their martial cover artwork penned by Eliran Kantor (Kreator, Testament, GWAR, among others) include 17 tracks, all newly recorded by the current Sodom line-up featuring Frank Blackfire (guitars), Yorck Segatz (guitars) and Toni Merkel (drums). Tom: “We cover the songs unaltered, that’s to say: in exactly the same key and with the original lyrics. We’re better musicians now than we were back then, of course, so the new versions sound tighter and more up-to-date but the arrangements of the songs were deliberately kept unchanged.”

The band`s 40th anniversary festivities will be carried over into their concerts in the coming fall. “We’ll not only play the Sodom classics, but also consider fan requests. We`re launching a poll about songs we`ve rarely or never played live on a tour to find out which ones the fans want to hear.”

That's exactly what Sodom is about: being close to their fans, full of ideas, burning for action while keeping their eyes on the goal ahead. Tom: “If you want to draw a summary of the past four decades, it can only be this: 40 years later, and we’re still here!”

Solo artist, composer and multi-instrumentalist JoeyDiabolic has announced the release of his new EP, ‘Se7en’ arriving to all digital music platforms on July 7th, 2022.

This offering includes four new originals “Welcome To The Upside Down”, “Dead Souls That Lost Their Way Home”, “From Dusk Till Dawn” and “Disillusion” as well as remixes of ’Through Soundwaves’ era renditions “A Forest (LV-426 Distress Edit)”, “Save Yourself (Vogue Edit)” and “Nightmare (feat. Mama Doom)” remixed by Kai Rez of Visions of Empyrean.

Included in this 27 minute release:

01. Welcome To The Upside Down

02. A Forest (LV-426 Distress Edit)

03. Nightmare feat. MaMa Doom (VoE Remix)

04. Dead Souls That Lost Their Way Home

05. Save Yourself (Vogue Edit)

06. From Dusk Till Dawn

07. Disillusion

When asked about the ‘Se7en’ release, Diabolic had this to say…

“I had an idea, about a decade ago… for a concept EP based on the “Se7en’ film. Each song would have pertained to each theme of a deadly sin, though nothing beyond the initial concept developed, so it was shelved.

After the ‘Through Soundwaves’ series and box set releases, I was thinking of ways to get a bit more mileage out of all that work and also release, I guess, transitional material that would set up my current and future audience for future releases… to get comfortable with musical avenues I would be exploring.

Each song on ‘Se7en’ is inspired by films I really dig… some of which are in my all-time Top 5 favorites. The challenge overall was channeling the vibe and atmospheres of each film.”

Escape From NY’ // “Welcome To The Upside Down”

Floridian death metal juggernauts, MASSACRE have released their new EP, "Mythos," via Nuclear Blast. 

In case it was missed, MASSACRE recently revealed a new single from "Mythos" titled "Behind The Serpent's Curse,"  which features Anders Odden (CADAVER). Purchase/Stream "Mythos": https://bfan.link/Massacre-Mythos 

Stream "Behind The Serpent's Curse":  https://bfan.link/Massacre-BehindTheSerpentsCurse 

Commenting on the EP, vocalist Kam Lee says: 

"'Mythos' is MASSACRE in its true form. Forget the imitations this is the real deal. These tracks represent the band in its proper self. Representative of true old school death metal and the music on this EP represents the core of the band's true sound. This is what the band is and was always meant to be, and now that I'm in the captain's chair I'll make sure the core of the band shall remain as such".

MASSACRE rose from the swamps of Southern Florida in the early 80's during a heatwave of groundbreaking death metal that produced some of the genre's most revered forefathers, DEATH, OBITUARY and SIX FEET UNDER. Their legacy was founded with a string of classic demos, "Aggressive Tyrant" (1986), "Chamber of Ages" (1986) and "The Second Coming" (1990), before unleashing their critically praised classic debut album "From Beyond" (1991). In 2021, the band made their long-awaited return with "Resurgence." Invigorated with the same youthful rage that brought them together at inception, long-time members, vocalist Kam Lee (MANTAS, BONE GNAWER, THE GROTESQUERY) and bassist Mike Borders, were joined in the studio by some of death's most prolific and malignant songwriters, guitarist Rogga Johansson (PAGANIZER, MEGASCAVENGER, RIB SPREADER), guitarist Jonny Pettersson (WOMBBATH, NATTRAVNEN, HENRY KANE), guitarist Scott Fairfax (MEMORIAM, AS THE WORLD DIES) and drummer Brynjar Helgetun (CRYPTICUS, THE GROTESQUERY) with additional guest performances by Marc Grewe (INSIDIOUS DISEASE), Dave Ingram (BENEDICTION), Anders Odden (CADAVER), and Pete Slate (DRUID LORD) The record was recorded with producer and death metal icon Dan Swanö (ex-Edge of Sanity, ex-Bloodbath) and Pettersson as engineer/mixer. 

Now only a year later, MASSACRE emerges from the swamps again for the brutally devastating EP, "Mythos." Picking up where they left off on "Resurgence," the band lays waste with Lovecraftian inspired lyrics and searing death metal riffs.

UK thrashers RipTide, [fronted by EVILE guitarist Adam Smith] have released their debut EP “Masters of the Apocalypse”. The 36-minute-long EP contains 6 tracks featuring re-recordings and masters of the original RipTide demos. 

Adam Smith (Lead Vocalist and Guitarist) comments...

“After a hell of a long time, we are incredibly stoked to finally release ‘Masters of the Apocalypse’ as an EP, having changes in the Line-Up, multiple lockdowns, and settling in with EVILE. We are stoked to finally complete this record which consists of the first batch of songs from when we first started out. After playing these songs live over the years, and the incredible response we had at Bloodstock Festival last year, we chose these six songs as they represent mostly what the band has been doing over the years.

I have had the vision of ‘Masters of the Apocalypse’ ever since the band’s inception back in 2018.  The artwork was made in 2018 and was used to promote the band with scrims and merchandise, we knew that it was too good to just use on a demo single or something, so we held on to it and saved it for this moment. It was a vision that I had inspired by apocalyptic landscapes in media such as Stranger Things, The Last of Us, and even stuff like Shadow the Hedgehog [.

We wanted a 3rd person view of the backs of these ‘masters’ (world leaders/powerful people), who are the only ones left in this alternate world, looking over the remains of the city which was ultimately caused by greed, money and power etc... the vision was made into reality by the incredible Ania Bodziarczyk, who did an even better job than I could have ever imagined.

I am also incredibly proud of my bro Sean [bass player of RipTide] for producing/co-producing this record! The quality of this recording is incredible and is for me, the highlight of this record!

Sean Xavier (Bassist and main producer) continues...

“When we first originally started recording these tracks, we were very young and didn’t really know much about how to make a record, we went to a couple of different studios to record but we were unhappy with both the quality of playing and the  early production wasn’t what we wanted, this coupled with covid, Adam joining Evile, and Tommy joining RipTide, delayed the release significantly, but we persevered and made the best recording we could possibly make! I am incredibly happy with the way the EP has turned out and with each recording we do, myself and the band get better and better! We have just finished tracking guitars for our next release which will be out in the next couple of months! So, keep your eyes peeled for that!

Adam concludes...

“Masters of the Apocalypse” has been a long time in the making and is the finale to the long journey we have all been on! It’s conception and production has been a team effort between all of the guys in the band and the fans, for pushing us to finish this! It is a group of songs that we are all incredibly proud of and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as we do.

The relentless new EP is available to listen to right now on all major streaming services and has limited CD copies available on their official merch store.

New York based band Quemasantos is an international metal music project in Spanish with musicians from Brazil, United States and Chile. Everything started with the simple idea of creating a single track for a compilation  of bands protesting for a better equality in education in Chile. As a result the track ‘Somos legion’ was born and then it was licensed and published by the producers of the Canadian TV show ‘Motive’ for the episode 3 of their 4th season called: ‘Index Case’. From there there was only the process of creating more metal music in Spanish throughout the internet.

The album Quemasantos was recorded  between 2015-2022. It was mixed and mastered by Ignacio Orellana at Oily Sound Studios in NYC. The album contains 9 tracks including 2015’s version of ‘Somos Legion’ mixed and mastered by Ignacio Figueroa in Viña del Mar, Chile.

Rob Diaz have commented:

‘This was a production that touches current social themes such as addiction, religion, technology and pollution; with an abroad vision with drops of Sci-fi. Everything framed in a sonic metal ambiance that is direct and raw at times’.

The very firs music video supporting this release will be called ‘12 Balas’ and it is schedule to be public on April 15th, 2022 at 12pm directly on the band’s Youtube channel:

Legendary heavy metal vocalist DEE SNIDER recently announced his steadfast support of the people of Ukraine using Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" as their battle cry anthem, and within just days, became heavily involved at the forefront of World United Live. The platform operates with the goal of raising awareness that may otherwise be shielded from the Russian people, to digitally, simultaneously protest in support of Ukraine, and to eventually coordinate the world's largest aid concert to help them rebuild.

Today, in support of World United Live's initiatives and the people of Ukraine, DEE SNIDER released a brand new, re-worked music video for his Leave A Scar track "Stand", specially renamed "Stand (with Ukraine)". The video, featuring various pieces of current sourced footage, can be viewed via www.worldunited.live  now.

The Godfather of Thrash and Undoubtedly One of the Greatest Drummers in Metal History.

 This drummer is key in making Testament's mark in metal history. The band is very excited to welcome back one of the greatest drummers in heavy metal...Take your pick, one in one hundred, I don't care who you have on that list, there is only one drummer who is the best, Dave Lombardo!

Chuck Billy declares“ I’ll state the obvious, We are more than overwhelmed to welcome back Dave Lombardo to play drums with Testament.  We are so excited to share the stage again with  Lombardo. Dave added immense power when he joined the band for The Gathering (release), and we are ecstatic to see what new flavor he will bring back to Testament.”

Dave Lombardo stated, "This is a long-awaited reunion that was bound to happen. Once upon a time, we created a thrash masterpiece. I have no doubt that our musical chemistry will pick up exactly where we left off. I love the Testament family and am very excited to be joining them once again. Pure brutality awaits."

Eric Peterson expresses, “Having Dave Lombardo join us again feels like we are picking up where unfinished business had left off.  There is a silver lining to every cloud and working again with Dave calls for us to celebrate with our horns held high!”

80s power-thrashers Sacred Oath posted on social media this week that they are already planning a concert in New York City in 2022 performing their entire 1988 debut “A Crystal Vision.”  The band restructured as a four-piece last month minus Bill Smith and Brendan Kelleher, and it seems the current lineup of Thorne, Evans, Christian, and Waite is primed and ready to gallop through their early material with fists raised high.

“Oathbangers have been asking for this since we reformed in 2005 and it seems like the right time, us working as a four piece now,” said singer/guitarist Rob Thorne. “Honestly, the band has never sounded as good as it does now and the prospect of giving these songs our very best is exciting.”

Sacred Oath came screaming out of Connecticut with their first album “A Crystal Vision” on Mercenary Records but broke up soon after when the record label filed bankruptcy and closed shop.  It would be another 10 years before the band reunited to record for Sentinel Steel Records.  They have not performed the entire album since December 1988.
