Anvil Premieres New Album’s Second Single

Courtesy: AFM Records

Anvil offered audiences another preview of its forthcoming album this week.

The band debuted its new single, ‘Truth Is Dying‘ Friday. The song is the second single from the band’s forthcoming album, One and Only, which is scheduled for release June 28 through AFM Records. Its premiere follows that of the album’s lead single, ‘Feed Your Fantasy.’

The musical arrangement featured in the band’s new single is a vintage rock style composition much like its predecessor. Listeners can easily make comparison to works from the likes of Motorhead and AC/DC here, what with its blues-based rock approach and distinct Lemmy Kilmister-esque vocal delivery style.

No information was provided about the song’s lyrical theme in the news release announcing the new single’s debut. However, a comment from front man Steve “Lips” Kudlow joins with the song’s lyrics to hint at it being a social commentary of sorts.

Kudlow said of the album’s overall lyrical content, “We’ve dropped all more modern aspects, particularly the 90s version of Anvil. No sexual topics and no thrash speed songs like they featured on past albums.”

The track listing for One And Only is noted below:

One And Only’ track listing:
01 – One And Only 
02 – Feed Your Fantasy
03 – Fight For Your Rights 
04 – Heartbroken 
05 – Gold And Diamonds
06 – Dead Man Shoes
07 – Truth Is Dying 
08 – Rocking The World 
09 – Run Away 
10 – World Of Fools 
11 – Condemned Liberty 
12 – Blind Rage  

In anticipation of the album’s release, Anvil already has a small handful of live shows scheduled coming up, all of which are noted below:

ANVIL live: 
02.05.2024 (CA) Ajax / The Edge
25.05.2024 (DE) Schönenberg-Kübelberg / Iron Fest Open Air

Punk rock outfit Ultrabomb gave audiences their first preview of the group’s new record this week.

The band — Greg Norton (Husker Du), Finny McConnell (The Mahones), and Jamie Oliver (UK Subs) — unveiled its new single, ‘Rage Bomb‘ Friday. The song is the lead single from the group’s forthcoming album, Dying To Smile, which is scheduled for release June 7 through DC-Jam Records.

The musical arrangement featured in the band’s new single is a melodic composition. At the same time, the stylistic approach is still purely punk with some comparison to works from the likes of Rancid possible.

No information about the song’s lyrical theme was provided in the news release announcing the song’s premiere.

Dying To Smile‘s track listing is noted below:

The Dead Daisies Debuts New Album’s Lead Single, Video

Courtesy: SPV Steamhammer

Fans of The Dead Daisies got their first preview of the band’s new album this week.

The band debuted the song, ‘Light ‘Em Up‘ and the song’s companion video Friday. The song is the title track from the band’s forthcoming record, which is scheduled for release Sept. 6 through SPV Germany globally and through Ward Records in Japan.

The album is a reunion for the band with a pair of former members, vocalist John Corabi (who was temporarily released by Glenn Hughes on the band’s 2022 album Radiance) and drummer Tommy Clufetos, who, like fellow drummer Brian Tichy, has had multiple stints with the band. The single is the band’s first work with Corabi since 2018.

The song’s musical arrangement is a familiar style composition, its straight forward approach coming very easily comparable to AC/DC’s own hit single, ‘Givin’ The Dog A Bone.’ Whether this is intentional is anyone’s guess, but the comparison is inescapable.

No information was provided about the song’s lyrical theme in the news release announcing the premiere of the new single and its video. Lyrics were not provided with the song’s video, either, leaving for plenty of room for intepretation.

Speaking of the song’s video, it is an animated presentation of sorts. It features video of Corabi and guitarist Doug Aldrich performing their respective parts to the song. Meanwhile imagery of war and destruction play out at random points throughout the video, leaving more room for interpretation.

In other news, The Dead Daisies recently also announced plans to launch a tour in support of Light ‘Em Up. The tour is scheduled to start June 8 in New York, NY and to run through Jun 22 in Roseville, CA. It includes scheduled stops in cities, such as Columbus, OH; Nashville, TN and Los Angeles, CA.

Evergrey Debuts Video For New Album’s Second Single

Courtesy: Napalm Records

A month after giving audiences their first preview of its new album, Theories of Emptiness, Evergrey has unveiled the record’s second single and video.

The band unveiled, Tuesday, the video for the album’s second single, ‘Say.’ It follows the premiere of the album’s lead single, ‘Falling From The Sun.’ The musical arrangement featured in ‘Say’ is distinctly different from that featured in ‘Falling From The Sun’ as that single is more of a heavy, melodic rock composition. ‘Say,’ meanwhile, is more of a Dram Theater style progressive metal style opus in its overall instrumentation and vocal presentation.

No information was provided about the lyrical theme behind ‘Say’ in the news release announcing the video’s debut. No lyrics are provided alongside the song’s video, either, leaving interpretation up to audiences.

Recorded at the Halvegarden Horse and Event Center in Halvedardsvagen, Sweden, the video features the band performing its new single in the building’s interior. The video ends cryptically, with drummer Jonas Ekdahl the band’s lone member placing his drumsticks on his drumset’s snare drum, walking to the camera and offering thanks to fans before walking alone, out of the facility.

Front man Tom Englund had the following to say of the video’s finale:

“Regarding the end of the video there will of course be questions, a lot of questions, we have the answers.”

Theories of Emptiness is schedule for release June 7 via Napalm Records. The album’s track listing is noted below:

Theories of Emptiness tracklisting:
1. Falling From the Sun
2. Misfortune
3. To Become Someone Else
4. Say

9. Cold Dreams
10. Our Way Through Silence
11. A Theory of Emptiness

Falling In Reverse Announces New Album, Tour News; Debuts Video For Album’s Sixth Single

Courtesy: Epitaph Records

Falling in Reverse will tentatively release its fifth album this summer.

The band announced Tuesday, plans to release its new album, Popular Monster July 26 through Epitaph Records. In anticipation of the album’s release, the band premiered the video for what is now its sixth single, ‘Ronald’ Tuesday. The album most recently produced a cover of Papa Roach’s hit debut single, ‘Last Resort‘ and prior to that, ‘Watch The World Burn.’ It has also produced the singles, ‘Voices In My Head,’ ‘Zombified,’ and ‘Popular Monster.’

‘Ronald’ features a guest appearance by rapper Tech N9ne and Alex Terrible, with Tech N9ne making up quite a big part of the song’s second half. In comparison to its predecessors, this song is much heavier, delving into areas of thrash and metalcore all in one.

No information was provided about the song’s lyrical theme in the news release announcing the debut of the new video. The lyrics provided with the song’s video hint at the song’s theme seemingly being a social commentary of sorts about the state of the world and the subject’s view of that state as he aged and changed. That is just this critic’s interpretation.

The video opens with front man Ronnie Radke in an ambulance before eventually finding himself battling an evil force on a rooftop. In the video’s finale, Radke and Tech N9ne find themselves on a rock with Radke facing off what can only be thought to be the devil itself, using the same power from ‘Watch The World Burn’ that he used in anger to instead fight the ultimate evil.

The full track listing for the 11-song album is noted below:

POPULAR MONSTER TRACK LISTING:
“Prequel”
Popular Monster
“All My Life”
Ronald (Feat. Tech N9ne + Alex Terrible)
Voices In My Head
“Bad Guy” (Feat. Saraya)
Watch The World Burn
“Trigger Warning”
ZOMBIFIED
“NO FEAR”
Last Resort – Reimagined

Details Announced For ‘The Guyver’ Re-Issue

Courtesy: Unearthed Films/New Line Cinema

New Line Cinema’s 1991 cinematic adaptation of the graphic novel series The Guyver will see the light of day again this summer.

Unearthed Films announced Monday, plans to re-issue the movie June 25 as a limited edition 4K UHD/Blu-ray combo pack. The latest re-issue will also feature the movie’s complete soundtrack on a bonus CD. The new re-issue will retail for MSRP of $59.95.

The movie stars Jack Armstrong (How To Get Away With Murder, Mr. Mayor, The Boys in the Band) as lead character Sean Barker. Sean, a college student, stumbles by chance, onto the movie’s namesake “device,” the Guyver and is turned into a super-powered fighting machine. Upon becoming the new hero, he is pursued by the evil Chronos Corporation, which wants to get the suit.

The Chronos Corporation will stop at nothing to get the suit, either, including kidnapping Sean’s girlfriend, Mizuki (Vivian Wu — The Last Emperor, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, The Pillow Book). Thankfully for Sean, he has the aid of CIA agent Max Reed (Mark Hamill — Star Wars Episodes 4-9, Batman: The Animated Series, Transformers: Rescue Bots), Sean has help in his battle against the Chronos Corporation.

The Guyver was helmed by Screaming Mad George, who also is known for his special effects work on the original Predator movie and for his art talents on The Abyss and visual effects work on Big Trouble in Little China. Steve Wang (Bill & Ted Face The Music, Predator, Drive) co-directed alongside Screaming Mad George.

Speaking of the co-directors, a feature-length audio commentary from the pair is also included as a bonus to the forthcoming limited edition collector’s presentation. Additionally, it will feature interviews with Screaming Mad George and producer Bryan Yuzna (Faust, The Dentist, Beyond Re-Animator), outtakes with commentary by Wang and George, alternate title sequences, gag reel, and production and artwork gallery.

A Killer’s Confession Premieres New Single, Video; Tour To Launch This Weekend

Courtesy: MNRK Heavy

A Killer’s Confession unveiled another new single and video this week.

The band premiered its new single, ‘Martyr‘ and the song’s companion video Friday. The premiere comes a month after the band debuted its then latest single, ‘Greed.’ Both songs are featured in the band’s forthcoming album, Victim 1.

Musically, AKC’s new single is another powerful melodic hard rock composition. It clearly stands apart from the arrangement at the center of ‘Greed.’ Where ‘Greed’ was far sharper in its edge, ‘Martyr’ is a little softer but still heavily impacting. Both arrangements are easily comparable in their own way to works from the likes of Sevendust and others of that ilk.

Lyrically, the song’s theme takes on the topic of self value in a manner of speaking, according to a prepared statement from the band..

“‘Martyr’ is the second step into the lore of Victim 1,” the statement reads. “This song is the embodiment of acceptance of who you are and what you have to do. Tossing aside what others might think of your actions knowing in the end, it really doesn’t matter what anyone thinks.”

The band also addressed the song’s video.

“The video for ‘Martyr’ is the idea of how soldiers from The Crusades will go to church to ask for penance for their actions. The scenery of a simpler time and the camaraderie between the knights says it all. “What we do is for the greater good.'”

In other news, A Killer’s confession is scheduled to launch a tour in support of its forthcoming new album this weekend in Grantville, PA. The tour, which also includes stops in cities, such as Columbus, OH; Dallas, TX and Dover, AR, is scheduled to run through July 20. Hyro The Hero, Mudvayne, and Ill Nino are scheduled to take part in the tour on select dates.

The tour’s schedule is noted below:

One Day Alive Debuts New Single, On Tour Now

Courtesy: O’Donnell Media Group

Independent rock band One Day Alive recently unveiled its latest single.

The band premiered the new single, ‘Addicted Again,’ Apr. 25. The song’s musical arrangement makes it an instantly radio ready work whose guitars and vocals pair with its rhythm section to make it easily comparable to works from the likes of Nickelback, Saving Abel and others of that ilk. The comparison is especially understandable when it is noted that the band worked with Jason Null (who also worked with Saving Abel) on this single.

Lyrically, the song centers on the all too familiar topic of relationships, according to a prepared statement from the band.

“Like a blazing fire in the night, ‘Addicted Again’ ignites the soul with its solid rock essence, intertwining the raw energy of existence with the complexities of love’s grip,” the statement reads. “Crafted by the lyrical prowess of Jason Null and Scotty Austin, this single pulses with the heartbeat of everyday relationships, offering a poignant twist on the familiar. It’s not just a song; it’s a journey through the highs and lows of passion, a testament to the enduring power of music to mirror our deepest emotions. ‘Addicted Again’ stands as the vibrant second chapter of the hit saga by Saving Abel, ‘Addicted,’ a testament to their unwavering ability to capture the essence of human experience in every chord.”

In other news, One Day Alive is touring alongside Trapt, Adema, Tantric and Josey Scott on the “Parental Advisory Tour.” The tour is underway, having launched May 3 and is scheduled to run through June 1 in Danbury, WI. The tour includes scheduled performances in cities, such as Columbus, OH; Frenchtown, NJ and Houston, TX.

The tour’s current schedule is noted below:
