Mad About Rock

  German musician Ben Blutzukker releases a metal cover/remix version of  DANCEFLOOR SATELLITE which is the biggest hit so far by the gothic rockers  AEON SABLE from Essen. And in his current remix/cover-rage, BEN  BLUTZUKKER has now created the "Moshpit Satellite" out of it. Remixes are much more common in electronic music, but BEN would now like to establish remixing in the metal scene as well. The "BEN BLUTZUKKER vs VOODOMA" remix/cover came out two months ago and we can be curious to see how this chapter will continue in the next months.

This is the second single release following their September release 'The Unforeseen' from their new EP 'III' which is set for release, February 12th 2021.

  Canada’s Motion Device have a new music video out for their single “Blindfold It Away”. The single comes from their recent album, “Motion Device IV” (or ‘MDIV’ for short), which was released on September 4, 2020. This is the fourth album from the DIY band who recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered the album by themselves in a studio that was completely crowdfunded by fans around the world. Motion Device says they owe their success so far to their fans and are extremely appreciative of their support through their careers. They expect that fans will enjoy the album and the music video that is being released. With a vision of taking fans on a journey, through their music, they encompass all emotions, happiness, sadness, joy, anger, excitement, “MDIV” is an emotional roller coaster that is easy to connect to. The band explains the single in their own words: “The beginning riff was the very first piece of music that began the writing process for the album. Josh first recorded the gui...

  Southampton trio Mystic Peach return today with eerie new single Wanna Be My Daddy? It follows on from debut track Across The Pond and second single The Eye And The Twitch which saw support roll in from the likes of Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 1, Amy Lamé and Tom Robinson on BBC 6Music, John Kennedy on Radio X, DIY, So Young Magazine and The Line Of Best Fit. Wanna Be My Daddy? is a spectral slice of grunge rock that isn’t afraid to tackle the tough questions and confronts vulnerability head on, with the lyrics acting as glorious juxtaposition against waves of psych and garage rock. Singer Curtis Gale details the track further: “'Wanna Be My Daddy?' is a story of experience about how the comfort in your own sexuality can be threatening to certain people. Small town mentality, prying eyes and assumptions giving rise to the purest form of irony. The questions, the staring and unsubstantiated accusations can go unnoticed even in your busy life. But when people go out of their way ...

  Band-Maid is a Japanese rock band formed in 2013. I was lucky enough to witness their first-ever European live performance in the UK back in 2016 (check out my review of their show: https://www.madaboutrock.co.uk/2016/06/band-maid-mcm-comic-con-live.html ) so I thought I would look into what the band are up to now and what good timing as they have just announced a new album titled “Unseen World” which is due for release January 20th 2021. It looks like the band have come far since I saw them in 2016! Check out this live video of 'DOMINATION' which covers the final show of their "WORLD DOMINATION TOUR [SHINKA] PRESENTED BY LIVEDAM Ai" at Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 14th 2020: Ahead of the upcoming album, they are unleashing their first single taken from it on December 2nd 2020 called 'Different' which will be used as the opening theme song for anime "Log Horizon: Entaku Kaigi". Check out the first look at the CD: There are already so...

  King of the Dead are a band that are not afraid to be bold. The 3 piece Horror Rock band are a celebration of the macabre and the weird. The music is anthemic and dark (think 30 Seconds To Mars meets Ghost) with driving guitars and soaring vocals. "Control" is the start of a 5 song story about sacrifice, possession and the occult. The single is accompanied by a lyric video with illustrations by artist Sam Mayle, it provides a glimpse into the world that the band inhabit.
