New Saviors Release New Single "Flame"

  Following up on their last single "Alive", hard rock band New Saviors is back with their new single "Flame" out today. The single was recorded at the bands' home studio and brought over to Danny DiBella (who also helped with the band's last single and EP) at DiBella Studios for mixing and mastering. The single was inspired by the stress of the global pandemic, focusing on turning fear into hopefulness in order to survive. “Flame is about the self-realization that your scars are there to remind you how strong you really are. Life's not always easy but sometimes when it gets hard you have to hit it head-on, and use it as fuel to keep going." When going into the studio to write the song the band knew that they wanted to go in and write something upbeat and fun while still having a relatable message. The band hopes that the takeaway from this release is that it gives people the courage to move past that hopelessness and fear of COVID-19 and gives

Ahead of Performances at Blue Ridge Rock Fest & Inkcarceration, THE PHOENIX WITHIN Release New Single "Lacking"

  Being a musician isn’t always easy. Artists make sacrifices and encounter various obstacles throughout their careers. The Phoenix Within talks about that with their most recent single “Lacking.” “Lacking by The Phoenix Within was written to be an anthem for underdogs everywhere and anywhere. In this particular case, the underdog is an artist/musician. The song touches on factual aspects which most struggling artists encounter such as the lack of monetary funds, lack of support from friends and record labels, and of course, having to face the fact that most people expect you to give up and fail,” frontman Omar Feliciano explains about the track. “The song becomes a hopeful anthem when the chorus hits and clearly states, ‘I'm willing to march right through this hell.’ In other words, you'll have to take the bad with the good while continuing to put in the hard work in your art and music. In short, believe in yourself, continue learning new things, and do not stop working, becau

REVIEW: Act Of Denial - 'Negative' (Album)

  International melodic death metal group Act Of Denial was founded by lead guitarist and songwriter Voi Cox (Koziak, Victim) and guitarist Luger (Koziak, Benighted-Cro) in early 2020 to create early melodic death metal like they grew up with. They enlisted the help of some of their idols and those they admire to bring their vision to life. They are joined by Björn Strid (Soilwork), bassist Steve Di Giorgio (Death, Testament), drummer Kerim “Krimh” Lechner (Septicflesh) and keyboardist John Lönnmyr (The Night Flight Orchestra). As if the project line-up wasn’t hefty enough, some of the tracks also feature special guests. The opener ‘Puzzle Heart’ gets things off to a rapid and sizzling start that immediately hooks you in. Björn Strid’s diverse and signature tones work wonderfully, which is no surprise given his work with Soilwork. The song delivers the perfect blend of melody and aggression to take you on an exhilarating ride and sets the scene for the rest of the album. The striking ‘

Hell & Hollar Release New Single/Video "Siberian Hunter"

  Rock band HELL & HOLLAR are back with their latest single/video "Siberian Hunter" with The Label Group. An idea born on a three-string guitar found in a local dumpster many years ago was enough for this band to encapsulate their neural efforts and form the perfect conjunction to bring a mythical transcendental story into a musical work of art on multiple levels. The blending of this triangular junction came in the form of lyrics, songwriting, and animation. "Siberian Hunter" takes you sonically and visually on a trip. "Siberian Hunter" came to us through the band's bass player Johnny Dusko. He wrote the music long ago on an old three-string guitar he had found in a dumpster. When Johnny first showed us the song we knew it was for Hell & Hollar. He had already named the song "Siberian Hunter", this inspired lead vocalist, Blake Burn's lyrical content and deep tundra vibes. Nate Largent added his touch on the drums and then we
