South of Eden Debuts ‘The Talk’ Video

Posted on September 2, 2020 by philspicks

Courtesy: Lava/Republic Records

South of Eden debuted the video for its latest single this week.

The band debuted the video for its new single ‘The Talk’ Tuesday through Rolling Stone magazine. The song is the title from from the band’s new EP, which was released recently through Lava/Republic Records.

The band discussed the video’s creation in a prepared statement.

“This video ties all the ideas from the record together,” the statement reads in part. “Distorted views, unclear agendas, the masses following along and a sense of unsettling tension. All accompanied by a mixture of emotions, moods and lights. ‘The Talk’ was a lot of fun to shoot and quite a strange experience!”

“The pandemic has changed a lot all over the world, and here in Ohio the laws are very strict on social distancing,” the statement adds. “When it was time to start planning a video, we knew a lot of work and research had to be done to ensure the video came out exactly how we envisioned it and that all of the guidelines were met. Temperature on arrival, masks, social distancing, the whole 9-yards. Kinda hard to read the cameraman’s face when you can’t see it! The craziest part was the director was monitoring on a zoom call from a different state! Everyone did such an awesome job and were so professional about it, it ended being an awesome experience. I’m interested to see what the world looks like when it opens back up again.”

‘The Talk’ is the second single from The Talk. The band debuted the EP’s lead single ‘Dancing With Fire‘ in July.

The musical arrangement featured in ‘The Talk’ wastes no time grabbing listeners in its opening bars with its up-tempo riff. That riff gives way to a more reserved nature in the song’s lead verse. That reserved approach gives way to the noted high energy chorus. The back and forth of that reserved and more up-tempo sounds ensures listeners’ engagement and entertainment from beginning to end of the nearly four-minute song. What is really interesting to note here is that the classic rock influences of AC/DC and Guns N’ Roses, it also lends itself to comparisons to works from Buckcherry and Alter Bridge. In other words, the classic rock influences are infused alongside the modern guitar rock influences. The end result is an arrangement that is a strong start for the album and just one example of why the EP’s musical content is so strong. The lyrical accompaniment to that musical content adds to the song’s appeal.

Not having a lyrics sheet to reference, the song’s lyrical content is difficult to decipher. However, from what can be deciphered sans said sheet, it can be inferred (hopefully correctly) that this song is a commentary of sorts about how people say one thing but do something opposite; those people who feed lies to themselves and others. This is supposed as front man Ehab Omran sings in the song’s chorus about someone who is seemingly rejecting the help that others offer. He goes so far as to sing in the chorus, “You say you’re trying/But who can tell/When you talk, talk, talk?” There is even mention in the song’s second verse of “helpful hands/reaching in/everyone tries/But you don’t give in” before he asks again, “What do you want?” The song’s lead verse adds to the discussion as it addresses someone who in a different situation who doesn’t seem to know what he or she wants. Again, this interpretation is made wholly sans lyrics to reference. Hopefully it is somewhere in the proverbial ballpark. Right or wrong, it can at least be agreed that there is a certain commentary going on here. That in itself is sure to engage listeners while the song’s musical arrangement will entertain them.

The Talk is available to stream and download here.

Korn Unveils New Video; Announces New Tour Schedule

Korn will release its new album this fall.

The band announced this week that it will release The Serenity of Suffering on Friday, October 21^st via Roadrunner Records. The record is the album’s twelfth full-length studio recording and features a guest appearance by Slipknot front man Corey Taylor. The record is the band’s third for Roadrunner Records. The band also released 2010’s Korn III – Remember Who You Are and 2011’s The Path of Totality via Roadrunner Records. Pre-orders for the album are open now here.

In anticipation of the album’s release the band has unveiled the video for the album’s lead single ‘Rotting in Vain’ this week via RollingStone.com. It features Son of Anarchy star Tommy Flanagan and can be viewed online now here. Front man Jonathan Davis explained the concept behind the song in a recent interview noting that it is “about being in that black place, being in situations that I don’t like in life–be it relationships, or feeling when you’re stuck and you’re just being abused or you don’t like where you’re at, and you just sit there and rot.” He went on to explain that the song came from the years that it takes to figure a way out while still battling those feelings. “It takes you years and years to figure out how to claw your way out. That’s where ‘Rotting in Vain’ came from. I’m just sitting there, fucking dying and letting it happen for years and years and not helping myself to get out of that place. That’s the vibe that inspired the song,” he said.

Korn is currently touring in support of its upcoming album. It launched a co-headlining tour this week alongside Rob Zombie. In This Moment is joining the bands as a special guest on the tour, which currently runs through September 3^rd. After that the band will take some time to rest before heading back out on the road again on September 24^th alongside Breaking Benjamin for another co-headlining tour dubbed the “Nocturnal Underground Tour.” Motionless in White and Silver Snakes will join the bands as special guests on the tour. Korn also has performances at the Louder Than Life Festival and Aftershock Festival scheduled for October. Those dates and Korn’s complete tour schedule are noted below.

Posted on September 12, 2015 by philspicks

The wait is over at last. After a long five-year wait, Slayer has returned to reclaim the metal crown with its new album Repentless. And now, the band has officially debuted the video for the album’s title track and lead single.

Slayer and its new label home Nuclear Blast America debuted the video for the album’s title track/lead single on Friday alongside the release of the band’s new album.

The video sees Slayer performing inside a prison in which the inmates have gotten free and taken over. Parental discretion is advised. In regards to the graphic nature of the video, front man Tom Araya noted in an interview with Rolling Stone writer Kory Grow, “We’re telling the story that we’ve always told about society and how humans treat each other,” frontman Tom Araya said. “It can get pretty violent. It can get pretty stupid. But that’s OK. That’s human nature.” Fans can check out Grow’s entire article online now at the link noted above.

The video for ‘Repentless’ marks the first time ever that director BJ McDonnell has delved into the realm of music videos. His most recent directing role was on the 2014 horror flick Hatchet III. He has also worked as a cameraman on Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man, and The Interview. Stunt coordinator Nils Allen Stewart was brought in to help with the video, too. His credits include work on: Planet of the Apes, Anger Management, and Daredevil.

Viewers that watch closely will note cameos by some mbig name actors including: Danny Trejo (Machete, From Dusk Til Dawn, Once Upon a Time in Mexico), Tony Moran (Halloween’s Michael Meyers, American Poltergeist, Dead Bounty), Jason Trost (Hatchet III, All Superheroes Must Die, The FP), Sean Whalen (Men in Black, Halloween II, Twister), and Vernon Wells (Mad Max 2, Commando, Weird Science).

Slayer Confirms New Album Complete, Coming This Year; Announces Tour Dates

Posted on April 20, 2015 by philspicks

It has been four long years since the members of Slayer last released any new material. But that long wait is about to come to an end.

Four years after the release of its Grammy-nominated record World Painted Blood and two years removed from the passing of Jeff Hanneman, the current members of Slayer–Tom Araya (bass, vocals), Kerry King (guitar), and Paul Bostaph (drums)–have announced that the band will release its twelfth full-length studio release later this year via the band’s own label through Nuclear Blast Records. No title or official release date have yet been confirmed for the album. However, it is known that famed producer Terry Date (Miss May I, Smashing Pumpkins, Pantera) manned the boards for the record. And guitarist Gary Holt (Exodus) will handle guitar duties alongside King. The record marks the first time that Date has ever worked with the band. It is also the first time since the release of the band’s 2001 album God Hates Us All that Bostaph has recorded with his band mates. Audiences will be just as interested to note that there is at least one song penned by Hanneman included on the band’s upcoming record.

Nuclear Blast America General Manager Gerardo Martinez had nothing but good things to say of the upcoming album, saying essentially that it is some of the band’s best work to date. “Tom’s vocals are probably the best I’ve heard in two decades, and Kerry, Paul and Gary are playing their asses of with powerful, intense performances and riffs and beats that are absolutely lethal,” he said. Fans have already gotten to sneak peeks of Slayer’s upcoming album, the most recent being the Record Store Day release of the song ‘When The Stillness Comes.’ That song was released in a very limited quantity of only 500 copies s worldwide. It was released on a special seven-inch vinyl picture disc exclusively for Record Store Day but can be heard online now via Rolling Stone at http://www.rollingstone.com/music/premieres/hear-slayers-eerie-new-crusher-when-the-stillness-comes-20150416. The other sneak peek came in the form of the song ‘Implode.’ ‘Implode’ was offered as a free download last year following Slayer’s studio sessions last March. Audiences can hear the song now for free online via YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0gVs_UcxKY.

In anticipation of its new album, the members of Slayer have also announced that the band will embark on an extensive tour including dates on a number of major summer festival tours and its own “An Evening With…” Slayer-only dates.
