BRACHMOND RELEASE "TEUFELSTANZ" SINGLE

PRESS RELEASE:

When seven friends from Munich (DE) — Stefanie (front vocals), Severin (e-guitar, acoustic guitar, flutes, backing vocals), Max Schmid (bass, backing vocals), Valentin Seipt (bagpipe), Marianne Lasota (violin), Michael Paintner (drums) und Christian Maier (e-guitar) — sat by the campfire at night on a medieval faire in 2014, forming a band was nothing but a spontaneous idea. As they didn’t lack creativity nor drive it turned into a lot more after a short period of time already and they made their own history: from medieval faires onto the great stage.

BRACHMOND combines medieval folk instrumentation and ancient german language lyrics with rock and metal elements creating an unforgettable, enthralling sound - a successful mix of Subway to Sally, Feuerschwanz and Eluveitie.

Their self-produced album „Ascheregen“ (2018) is now followed by the new single „Teufelstanz“ (release: 23rd July 2021) which was produced with Reinhard von Wegen (Vroudenspil, KAFFKIEZ, Koenix…). A song hiding a gloomy attraction, using various kinds of longings and fears to get us on its side. Knowing full well we approach darkness as some allurements can’t be defied.

„Das Lied durch deine Adern fließt

(The song running through your veins)

Wie Gift durch deinen Körper schießt

(Like poison speeding through your body)

Du spürst das Pochen in der Brust

(You can feel the knocking in your chest)

Wie Feuer lodert deine Lust“

(Your lust blazing like fire)

ARMORED SAINT RELEASE VIDEO FOR "LONE WOLF"

PRESS RELEASE:

Last October, Armored Saint released their eighth full-length, Punching The Sky, via Metal Blade Records. Today, the band has launched a new video for the album track, "Lone Wolf". Directed by Robert Graves // ashadowbeyond.com (who also produced the videos for Armored Saint's "End of the Attention Span" and "Missile to Gun"), "Lone Wolf" can be seen at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A9lUMi5Rks

Robert Graves comments: "With 'Lone Wolf', the band and I agreed right away that this was an opportunity to create a narrative driven video that would convey the song's lyrical themes, while also creating an engaging visual experience. And so, a noir-styled heist in the heart of LA just seemed to fit the song perfectly. We decided to keep the story simple and allow the tone of the video to help convey the song's significance. This gave us (the crew) the opportunity to create an aesthetic that intensified the song's mood, while also getting some incredible action scenes to tell the story. Needless to say, Armored Saint fans are in for a ride. I think they're gonna love it!"

Bassist Joey Vera adds: "Working again with director Robert Graves was incredible. Not only is this video great to watch, but underneath the storyline lies a layer of allegory, metaphor and symbolism. Kind of a first for us. John Bush's great lyrics twist and turn into meanings not visible at first sight. It's a view into a person's journey through life and how they maneuver through it all and what they gain from that experience in the end. The neo-noir look Robert created in both the story and the band performances make this a great addition to the Armored Saint video catalogue."

Vocalist John Bush adds: "Working with Robert is awesome. The guy is truly amazing. He's gonna be a star.

This time we pushed the dialogue. It was challenging for me, but I had fun with it. For motivation, I tried to channel some of the great actors who come into the casting studio that my wife and I run.

'Wolf' tackles the view of people who spend a lot of time on their own. Something I spent years doing. The solitary individuals that always keep us guessing. This video is dedicated to them."

Armored Saint also have new merchandise - including a flannel long sleeve, ashtray, flask, lighter, license plate holder, and more! - available at: indiemerch.com/armoredsaint

Leaders and stalwarts of the American heavy metal scene since the early 80s, Armored Saint's latest release, Punching The Sky (2020), sees them returning hard. A diverse, attitude-drenched collection, it's everything the band's faithful have come to expect from them while pushing their signature sound forward. With Vera acting as producer, he recruited the same engineering team that worked on Win Hands Down (2015) with drums recorded by Josh Newell at El Dorado Studios in Burbank, CA, guitars tracked by Bill Metoyer at Skullseven studios in North Hollywood, CA, and vocals, bass and additional recordings by the bassist at his studio. Mixed by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Amon Amarth, Stonesour), the record also features a few guest musicians further expanding its sonic palette, the whole thing kicking off with the sound of Uilleann Pipes, Vera finding player Patrick D'Arcy in LA and recruiting him to the cause. Guns 'N' Roses keyboardist Dizzy Reed also contributes, Vera giving both him and D'Arcy some general directions and letting them loose, both of them delivering strong performances. The band's own Gonzo Sandoval plays an American Indian flute on "Never You Fret" - a first for Armored Saint and their drummer. Also Jacob Ayala, the son of a childhood friend who is a drum major in high school, added some marching snare on one of the tracks, which really stands out.

KINGS WINTER RELEASE "EDGE OF EXISTENCE"

PRESS RELEASE:

Kings Winter

Edge Of Existence

Self-released

1 May 2021 | Digital, CD

Melodic Heavy Metal from Germany

More melodies and heavier at the same time? While it may seem contradictory at first, this is the best description for the stylistic evolution which KINGS WINTER has undergone in the two years since their debut EP "Forging The Cataclysm". While the foundation of Melodic Heavy Metal remains, the keyboards move significantly into the background on the new album and leave more space for powerful guitar riffs, which are repeatedly contrasted with catchy guitar leads, often reminiscent of Scandinavian Melodic Death Metal.

The debut album "Edge Of Existence" is completed by the multi-layered vocals of frontwoman Jule Dahs, who shows all facets of her voice ranging from classic clean vocals to a powerful rock voice, with occasional growls added to the mix.

"Living systems are never in equilibrium. They are inherently unstable. They may seem stable, but they’re not. Everything is moving and changing. In a sense, everything is on the edge of collapse."

(Michael Crichton)

"I read this quote by chance at the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and was shocked by its relevance to the current situation," Tobias comments on the creation of the album title. "A little more than a year ago, no one would have believed that we would experience such restrictions in private and public life. But that only shows how unstable this living system, that we are a part of, really is and how one event that might appear small at first glance, can have global consequences." As soon as playing concerts is possible again, fans of the band will also have the opportunity to experience KINGS WINTER live on stage for the first time. "Shortly after the EP was released, we got the first messages asking when and where we could be seen on stage. We had never really thought about it beforehand, but after all the positive feedback for "Forging The Cataclysm" and with this new set of songs in hand, we hope to put together a live band over the course of this year so that we can play our first gigs whenever things return to normality," says Jule about the plans for the future of the band.

WASTED LAND RELEASE VIDEO FOR "FADE AWAY"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Band: Wasted Land

Nationality: Saudi Arabia

Genre: Melodic Death Metal

Track: Fade Away (4:55)

Release Date: May 30, 2021

Record Label: Wall of Sound Records

Saudi Arabia’s Wasted Land has a new single coming out entitled “Fade Away”, this is following their self-titled 2013 album. Since that full-length, the band suggests that they have evolved over time from being melody and folk focused into something heavier, but still having a strong melodic base.

“Fade Away” has been in the works since 2017, and will be the first music video from the band, which can be viewed at https://youtu.be/a66F36A8FDw

Lyrically, the single talks about someone having severe depression and comparing his journey in life to that of a candle, getting shorter and shorter until it eventually burns out. Then he finds his soul’s salvation after his death. Musically, it starts with heavy doses of melody which are complimented by heavy riffs and even more melodies. To contribute to the theme of depression and life’s waning, it carries a somber and melancholic tune near the end. The band comments on the track:

“It’ll be a new mixture from our old folkish style with more heavy catchy riffs and chorus. We hope we can catch the attention from the old fans and attract new ones.”

For Wasted Land, they compose the music first and then create lyrics that fit. For this song in particular guitarist Ayman composed the lyrics a long time ago for his previous band Banj. Writing for the band is a joint endeavour between guitarists Ayman and Ahmed whenever they jam together. Vocalist Emad adds his flavours in the lyrics and of course the vocal lines.

Wasted Land originally formed in 2005 to participate in Metal II gig in Dammam. Ahmed and Ayman were jamming together and felt there was chemistry between them while composing folky melodic death metal. From there they decided to add more members to create a full band. They were one of the first Saudi metal bands to get massive media exposure from outlets like CNN, BBC radio and other local and international newspapers.

“Fade Away” is available for stream and download via Saudi Arabian based label Wall of Sound Records.
