  Jerry Cantrell’s new song, ‘Afterglow’ arrives with a video created by award-winning artist Matt Mahurin, whose work is noted for blending realism with abstract and surreal elements, which shines through in the five-minute piece. Watch the video HERE “The incredible Matt Mahurin and I created a moving piece of film to accompany the song,” Cantrell says, adding “Check it out. If you want blood, you got it.” “Two of my all-time favorite videos I’ve directed are ‘No Excuses’ and ‘Angry Chair” for Alice In Chains in the early 1990’s. To be able to once again offer my visual work to Jerry’s ‘Afterglow’ some thirty years later was a blast. From opera aria to pop tune, everybody sees a movie playing in their mind’s eye when they listen to a song. Jerry inspired a welcome fever dream that I was grateful to lure out of my mind’s eye,” Mahurin shares. Mahurin’s work has been featured in The New York Times, Time, Rolling Stone, and his photographs are on permanent display at The Metropolita

  Back in the golden era of the single of the 1970’s and 80’s, Motörhead would regularly assault the ears of Top 40 chart listeners on a Sunday afternoon with a string of smash hits. The single as a format may have been less prominent from the 90’s onwards due to the dawn of the CD, but that didn’t diminish the calibre of the singles and promos that Motörhead continued to release. These mostly CD singles are now rare and highly collectable, so it only feels fitting for this era of the band’s bullet belt full of hits to be reappraised and released on the format that singles were born for, 7” vinyl. We Take No Prisoners is a collection of Motörhead singles spanning 1995 to 2006, and available as a nine 7” single box set and expanded double CD and digital editions. From crowd pleasers like the pummeling ‘Sacrifice’, through their unique cover of Sex Pistols, ‘God Save The Queen’ to the semi-acoustic roots vibes of ‘Whorehouse Blues’, no one could deny their song writing prowess and sheer

  South London-based metalcore unit AFTER SMOKE CLEARS have shared the first taste of their upcoming sophomore studio album, Intentions, (coming later this year via self-release) in "Unintelligent", a no-holds-barred display of unabashed metalcore fury. Recorded and produced by Meyrick De La Fuente (Exist Immortal, VEXED, Eschalon), "Unintelligent" is a blistering, brutal and honest metalcore anthem that feels in equal measure emotionally potent and acutely aggressive. The band states: "Unintelligent is a song about being treated like shit. Berated, and made to feel insignificant, the lyrics tell the story from a beginning, where you've heard these things said to you for so long you become accustomed to them, that you've become a permanent resident inside your own personal hell. The sample ‘Hell is real’ pays homage to the millions of people around the world, living in their own personal hell, sometimes being gaslit into thinking it's not actually a
