From Ashes To New Debuts New Album’s Fifth Single, Companion Video

Posted on May 21, 2023 by philspicks

From Ashes To New gave audiences yet another preview of its forthcoming album, Blackout, over the weekend in the form of ‘Armageddon.’

The band premiered the single and its companion video Friday. The premiere of the new single and video follow those of the album’s four current singles, ‘Until We Break (ft. Matty Mullins),’ ‘Nightmare,’ ‘Heartache,’ and ‘Hate Me Too.’

The heavy guitars and keyboards paired with the rapping in the song’s verses collectively make the song’s arrangement easily comparable to works from the likes of Falling in Reverse. The verses meanwhile are more comparable to works from the likes of Breaking Benjamin and various other similar melodic hard rock acts, such as Ovtlier and Three Days Grace. That combination of comparisons makes the song an easy fit for any active rock radio programmer’s play list. This even with the foul language in mind. Odds are edited copies of the song are available for radio airplay and streaming.

According to information provided about the song in a press release announcing the debut of the new single and video, the song’s lyrical theme “focuses on the current state of the world and how the fighting and the division is leading to some of the worst social times in recent history.”

The video for ‘Armageddon’ is a simple presentation. The band performs its new single on a sound stage dressed to look like a post apocalyptic setting, complete with a destroyed car and CG embers burning and floating in the air around the band.

In other news, From Ashes To New is in the midst of a tour supporting In This Moment and Motionless in White alongside Fit For A King. The “Dark Horizon Tour” launched April 14 in Jacksonville, FL. The tour’s next stop is scheduled for Monday in Baltimore, MD. The tour is scheduled to run through Aug. 19 in Albany, NY.

Independent hard rock act Antisaint is going to get some major exposure during this summer’s festival season.

The band has been added to the lineup for this year’s Download Festival. The announcement was made Friday. The 2023 Download Festival is scheduled to be held June 8-11 at Donington Park, UK.

The band joins the likes of Halestorm, Alter Bridge, Bad Wolves, Avatar, and The Warning as the newest acts to join the annual festival’s lineup. Antisaint is scheduled to perform June 10 at the festival, along with Clutch, Ice Nine Kills, Motionless in White and Metallica, among so many other major name acts.

Antisaint front man Matthew Whiteman said he was humbled as he talked about the announcement of the band joining the festival’s lineup.

“We’re beyond excited and grateful for the opportunity,” Whiteman said. “This is the kind of show you dream about and to be a part of it is a huge honour. “It’s crazy to see ANTISAINT’s name on the same poster with so many legendary bands that we grew up listening to and drawing influence from. To be included in the 20^th Anniversary celebration of such a widely respected festival makes it that much better. It’s a privilege to be included this year!”

Black Veil Brides’ New EP Will Leave Audiences Anything But “Mourning”

Posted on November 6, 2022 by philspicks

Late last month, Black Veil Brides released its new EP, The Mourning through Sumerian Records. The four-song record’s release came Oct. 21, roughly a year after the release of the band’s then latest album, The Phantom Tomorrow, which was a musical and stylistic turning point for the band. The band continued that change with this, its ninth studio recording and third EP. The band is currently on the road with Ice Nine Kills and Motionless in White as part of the Trinity of Terror tour in support of the record, whose musical and lyrical content clearly shows that continued change of sound and style. ‘Better Angels,’ which closes the EP, is one of the most notable of the record’s entries. It will be discussed shortly. On the exact other end of the record is its opener, ‘Devil,’ which will be examined a little later. ‘Saviour II’ is yet another standout addition to the EP and will also be examined later. When it is considered alongside the other songs noted here and with the EP’s one remaining song, ‘The Revival,’ the whole makes The Mourning easily one of the year’s top new EPs.

The Mourning, the third new EP from Black Veil Brides (and the band’s ninth new studio recording), is a strong new offering from the band. That is proven through its musical and lyrical content alike. The record’s finale, ‘Better Angels’ is just one of the songs that makes that clear. The melodic hard rock approach that the band takes in the song’s musical arrangement makes the song just as accessible as works from so many other similar bands, mainstream and independent. Comparisons can be made to works from the likes of Awake At Last, Saint Asonia, and Bullet for my Valentine. This is not to say that BVB has not composed some melodic hard rock songs throughout its history, but comparing much of its early catalog to a work, such as this song, the difference is clear, and it makes the song here just as accessible as works from the noted bands and so many others.

The arrangement featured here actually works well with the song’s lyrical theme. That is because the song’s theme seems to come from the vantage overcoming one’s mental health struggles, to a point. This is inferred in the song’s lead verse and chorus, which state collectively, “I feel the hope turn into comfort/Like the death of my nerves/Your heart is stinging from the hatred/As humanity burns/So let me find the words just to say it/Your mind is a villain/Go back to hell with all your demons/Leave me alone/To find the pieces inside my mind/They came in to control my life/And all the devils devour/Your better angels devour. The song’s second verse adds even more to that thought pattern as it states, “Our fear is all we have to suffer/In the violent new world/These scars and vanity can’t save us/Now it’s time for the storm.” This seeming theme is certain to resonate with audiences, especially being that it seems to present a message of overcoming those negative thoughts and feelings that would otherwise control a person, not just thoughts of depression and self-hatred, either. When this seeming message pairs with the song’s powerful musical arrangement, the whole makes ‘Better Angels’ a clear example of what makes The Mourning worth hearing.

‘Better Angels’ is just one of the most notable additions to The Mourning. The EP’s opener, ‘Devil’ is notable in its own right. That is due in part because of its musical arrangement. Instead of the pure melodic hard rock approach used in ‘Better Angels,’ the band opts for a more metalcore style composition in this song’s verses while incorporating the melodic hard rock approach in the choruses. The cutting guitars, and machine-gun style rapidity of the metalcore style verses make the song immediately comparable to works from the likes of Killswitch Engage, The Black Dahlia Murder, and to a lesser extent, early As I Lay Dying. The vocals especially add to that comparison to works from KsE, as they are so comparable to that band’s former front man Howard Jones. The melodic hard rock side of the song is more comparable to works from the likes of Sevendust. The juxtaposition of those comparisons makes the overall arrangement so interesting and well worth hearing in its own right.

The energy and richness in the song’s arrangement does just as well to pair with its lyrical theme. That is because of the clear frustration exhibited in what comes across quite as a social commentary. The commentary opens with front man Andy Biersack sings in the song’s lead verse and chorus, “How the f*** is one so evil left to just proceed/All the luck and how deceitful that idle minds can be/Farewell to vanished fraud/So here comes the fall/Your blood has all been washed away/You left with a crawl/The end was worth the wasted days/The devil lies alone.” The commentary continues in the song’s second verse, “Come sell me useless greed/And swindle, lie and cheat/’Cause nothing matters when only truth is obsolete.” That last line about truth being obsolete leads to an inference that maybe the commentary centers on what has happened in the world with truth taking a back seat to people’s false realities. This is just this critic’s interpretation. The early note of wondering how one so evil could just progress, to that end, would seemingly be a commentary wondering how people like Donald Trump and his cult members could be left to go on doing what they do. Again, this is just this critic’s interpretation. Hopefully it is somewhere close to being right. Either way, the seeming message and the way in which it is delivered certainly makes for plenty of thought and discussion. To that end, the song shows even more why it stands out in The Mourning.

‘Saviour II,’ the EP’s second track and lead single, is yet another notable addition to the record. The song’s musical arrangement is continues the melodic hard rock approach taken by the band in the EP. The different here is that in this case, it is actually more of a throwback to some of the melodic hard rock compositions that the band had produced in its past records while also being just as radio ready as any of the other songs featured in this record. From Breaking Benjamin to Default to so many others, the arrangement here is just as accessible as their works and so many other of the band’s fellow mainstream bands.

The lyrical theme that accompanies the song’s musical arrangement makes for even more interest. The theme here comes across as something as a contemplative piece focusing on moving past experiences in life. This is inferred as Biersack sings in the song’s lead verse and chorus, “I never knew how to live alone/Holding my fear in the unknown/And if we only speak in tongues/How can we be heard/Are there songs to guard your heart/Let this be the one you use to start your own/And every word that came from you/Has carried me/So I’m trying my hardest to be what you made/Like a court jester/My smile won’t fade/Giving it all/Rising to fall to my grave/Answer the call/Living in thrall/You’re the one born to save.” That mention of trying to be what someone made, keeping the smile, it seems like the song’s subject is addressing having to live a lie, hiding so many thoughts and emotions behind that smile. It would certainly seem to point at the noted inferred theme. The inference continues in the song’s second verse, which states, “I grew this heart in a motor car/I wear a mask to be a star/All of the heat and anxiety that still lines the road/It is all I ever thought I’d live for/Now I know I’m more than all of my scars.” That mention of being more than one’s scars points to the song’s subject overcoming the emotional and mental damage caused by the past, moving on with life. It is a powerful seeming statement that even further hints at the noted theme. Keeping such a seeming theme (and one that is all too familiar with any rock fan) in mind, the contemplative nature of the theme and the equally contemplative nature of the song’s arrangement makes the song in whole all the more interesting. When the whole is considered overall, it makes ‘Saviour II’ clearly another important part of The Mourning. When the song is considered alongside the other two songs examined here and with the EP’s one remaining song, the whole makes The Mourning a complete success.

The Mourning, the latest studio recording from Black Veil Brides, is an impressive new offering from the veteran hard rock act. That is proven through its musical and lyrical content alike. The songs examined here make that clear. When the songs examined are considered along with the record’s one remaining track, the whole makes The Mourning a welcome addition to this year’s field of new EPs.

The Mourning is available now through Sumerian Records. More information on the EP is available along with all of the band’s latest news at:

2 Shadows Reminds Audiences To Never Judge A Book By Its Cover With New Single, Video

Posted on November 18, 2020 by philspicks

Metal band 2 Shadows debuted the video for its latest video over the weekend.

The band debuted the video for its single ‘Scratching at the Surface’ Saturday through metalinsider.net. The video for the melodic metal arrangement features the band in a studio setting dressed to resemble an eerie forested setting. Along with that is footage of front man Glen Bridden in a coffin, singing some of the song’s lines.

As noted, the song’s musical arrangement is a heavy, melodic metal style composition. Its crunching guitars, heavy drums, and clean vocals lend it to comparisons to works from the likes of Motionless in White and the band’s Rock Shop Records label mates The Veer Union. Speaking of The Veer Union, the band makes a guest appearance in the song.

The Veer Union front man Crispin Earl co-wrote the song with 2 Shadows’ members. Additionally, he produced the song.

The heaviness and fire in the song’s musical arrangement partners with the song’s lyrical theme to add to the song’s overall impact, which the band addressed in a prepared statement.

“Scratching At The Surface is about people making you out to be something you’re not,” the statement reads. “The song describes the pressure of defining yourself in an environment where people tend to take one look at you and assume they know who you are; and they’re often wrong”.

‘Scratching at the Surface’ is available to stream and download here.

The Devil Wears Prada Announces Title, Release Date For New Album

Posted on July 25, 2016 by philspicks

Courtesy: Rise Records

The Devil Wears Prada has announced the details for its next album.

The band has announced that it will release its new album Transit Blues on Friday, October 7^th in stores and online. The record, the band’s sixth full-length studio recording, will be released via Rise Records. It will come a little more than a year after the release of the band’s latest recording, its 2015 EP Space. That record was released August 21^st, 2015.

The process of creating Transit Blues marks the first time that the band has ever lived and recorded together in order to create any of its records. Producer Dan Korneff (Pierce The Veil, Motionless in White) returned to man the boards for the eleven-song record. He also produced Space. Vocalist Mike Hranica explained the idea behind the record and its title noting that it has a lot to do with life and certain topics related therein. “It’s like zooming out on a commute,” he said. “It’s the notion of getting from one place to another. Most people go from their homes to work while we go from date to date on tour. Either way, it’s the inevitable process of growth and change. There are moments of anger, but the pervading theme is separation. Drawing the full circle, it is separation that is inherent in moving from one place to another.”

In anticipation of Transit Blues’ release the band debuted last week the video for the album’s lead single ‘Daughter’ online. The video has already received nearly 280,000 views since its debut. In discussing the concept behind the song Hranica explained that it actually rose from literature; more specifically author Simone de Beauvor’s novel The Mandarins. “It’s strange,” he said. “I will write EPs based on subjects that aren’t super close to my heart like ‘Zombie’ or ‘Space’ because it opens the door for me to make my own stories based off the topics. When we did ‘Transit Blues,’ it was only natural to incorporate fiction. ‘Daughter’ is the most forthright example.”

Transit Blues is currently scheduled to be released in stores and online on Friday, October 7^th via Rise Records. More information on Transit Blues is available online now along with all of the latest news and more from The Devil Wears Prada at:
