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.

BODYSNATCHER will be touring in support of their Bleed-Abide full-length, released earlier this year on MNRK Heavy. Recorded by the band’s Chris Whited at 1776 Recordings with drums engineered by Neil Westfall and Bud Phillips at The Unicorn Room, and guitars re-amped by Phil Pluskota at Sonic Assault Studio, the record is callously grim, ferocious, and threatening, crackling beneath the weight of its own fury and power. BODYSNATCHER’s Bleed-Abide puts the “core” back in deathcore.

RAVEN is that rare thing in music, true originals. Cut these guys with a razor and they will bleed true heavy metal - a more intense live band does not exist on this planet!

The band released three of the most influential metal albums of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal era, inspiring every band of that time and beyond. Without RAVEN you just would not have thrash/speed metal… after all, the band did give Metallica and Anthrax their first tours.

This year, RAVEN is set to hit the road once more where they will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of their iconic record Wiped Out and treating their fans by playing the album in full during each show.

Founding member John Gallagher comments, “really looking forward to playing one of my personal favorite RAVEN albums, Wiped Out, in its entirety on this upcoming North American tour. There are a few songs on the album we never got to ever play live so that’s gonna be a blast!”

Joining RAVEN on the tour will be Riot Act, who will perform a Riot repertoire from their classic era (1977-1982). In a cynical musical landscape, where bands are not “gangs” but faceless corporations, RAVEN is a band that is real and proud of it! The Wiped Out 40th Anniversary Tour will kick off on September 22nd in Jacksonville, Florida with more dates are to be announced soon. Tickets are on sale now at: ravenlunatics.com.

Accept released their critically acclaimed 16th studio album, Too Mean To Die, last year which landed them on the top of the charts [#1 - USA Hard Music, #2 - Germany, #3 - UK (Rock), etc.]. The band, which includes guitarist and founding member Wolf Hoffmann, has defined the international genre since they formed in Solingen, Germany in 1976, reigning as one of the most important German rock bands in the 80s alongside the Scorpions, while also influencing bands such as Metallica, Slayer, Guns N' Roses and Iron Maiden. Now, the metal legends are coming back to the states, poised to kick off their headlining "Too Mean To Die - Tour North America 2022" this fall, featuring Narcotic Wasteland as openers.

Currently celebrating “A Crystal Vision” with their 35th Anniversary Tour, Sacred Oath announced yesterday that they will be performing a special ‘one night only’ concert in New York with Attacker and the recently reunited all-female thrash band Meanstreak.  All three bands were signed to the Mercenary Records label in 1987 and released their debut albums just prior to the label folding in 1989.  This is the first time all three bands will perform on the same stage together.

“I heard about the Meanstreak reunion and reached out to Rena (Petrucci) right away,” said Rob Thorne of Sacred Oath.  “I thought a ‘Mercenary Records Night’ would be a cool show, and it looks like this will be the very first show for Meanstreak in almost 30 years.  We’re excited about the whole thing, all of it.”

Sacred Oath (CT), Meanstreak (NY), and Attacker (NJ) were up-and-coming bands to watch in 1988, frequently playing the NYC metro area metal clubs such as L’Amour and Streets.  The Manhattan-based Mercenary Records signed each of them and released their debut albums worldwide via Celluloid before folding in 1989.  Sacred Oath and Attacker have continued to perform and release albums since then, but Meanstreak broke up in 1994.  A reunion was announced in early 2022.

“Of course we’ll be playing through the entire “A Crystal Vision” album at this show,” says Thorne.  “The whole evening will be a trip down metal memory lane.  I can’t wait.”

The show is happening Saturday August 27th  6:00 pm at Sovereign, 173 Morgan Ave in Brooklyn, NY and tickets are now on sale and available HERE:

MAX & IGGOR CAVALERA are stoked to announce the rotation of openers on their Return Beneath Arise Tour, featuring metal giants DESTRUCTION as direct support for May 22, WARBRINGER (May 23 to June 8) & CEPHALIC CARNAGE (June 10 to June 25)  - And now just added to the CAVALERA’s Return Beneath Arise Tour is MAX’s son IGOR CAVALERA's band HEALING MAGIC, who will open all dates.

Celebrate with original founding members of influential heavy metal legends and RIAA Gold-Certified SEPULTURA. MAX & IGGOR CAVALERA will perform a hybrid setlist exclusively of cuts from these two iconic albums Beneath the Remains and Arise.  This tour runs throughout the United States in May and June of 2022.

Since SEPULTURA's formation over 30 years ago, the CAVALERA brothers have each seen unparalleled success in the music industry. MAX’s more recent work with SOULFLY, GO AHEAD AND DIE, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY (also featuring IGGOR) and KILLER BE KILLED, in addition to IGGOR’s projects MIXHELL, PETBRICK, and SOULWAX, proves the lasting power of the CAVALERA legacy. 

It’s safe to say that the releases of Beneath The Remains (1989) and Arise (1991) completely changed the landscape of metal music throughout the world.  

MAX states “After Covid-19 us Metal Heads need to release our aggression with some Beneath The Remains and Arise!” IGGOR adds "Can’t wait to perform our Return Beneath Arise Tour for our North American fans. See you in the Pit!!!”

On July 29th, extreme metal masters Arch Enemy will unleash their 11th studio album, Deceivers, via Century Media Records. For fans that can't wait for the record's release, the band is now offering a new 7", Sunset Over The Empire (due out May 20th) - with the title track also appearing on Deceivers. Arch Enemy's founder and chief songwriter Michael Amott comments: "I am thrilled that we are releasing our next single 'Sunset over the Empire' not only digitally everywhere as usual, but also as a physical 7" vinyl record. I'm a big fan of the vinyl format myself and I think this killer looking 7" will be a nice collector's item as it's a limited run. The B-side is an instrumental we've never released before on a record, and the A-side is one of my fave tracks off our new upcoming album 'Deceivers'!"

The band is currently putting the final touches on their new live album + DVD/BluRay, recorded live 80 meters deep below the earth, at Grutas de Mira D’Aire (a cave and one of Portugal’s seven natural wonders), while writing their new album which shall see the light of the day in 2023.
