Mono announce North American tourdates
MONO’s behemoth world tours have become a sort of calling card for the experimental rock quartet; as one of the most internationally successful bands in Japan, MONO’s annual world tour consists of around 150 shows and has stormed through over 55 countries. This April, MONO will be kicking off its divvy of North American dates alongside Holy Sons, Kikagaku Moyo & more.

Russian Circles to release 'Live at dunk!fest 2016'
Dunk! Records and Russian Circles have announced the upcoming vinyl release containing Russian Circles' full gig at Dunk! Festival 2016. This album is the very first live album by Russian Circles and it was recorded at dunk!festival 2016 where they headlined that edition. We knew what these guys from Chicago were capable of so we expected a lot of their show but we didn't knew it was going to be perfect. So we thought we should have this pressed on vinyl and make it a physical memory to this amazing performance.
The tracks, recorded by Jannes Van Rossom (Deaftone) and Thierry Staelens were mixed by Dallas Thomas from Pelican and mastered for vinyl by Collin Jordan (The Boiler Room LLC). These tunes are now being pressed on high quality 180g colored vinyl, in two different color configurations. The package comes in an upgraded gatefold cover, printed inside out, designed by Error! Design. The inside is a collage of pictures taken at dunk!festival 2016 by Davy De Pauw and Gosia Wanda.
Pre orders are available here.

Samsara Blues Experiment reveal track and tour dates
This May 12th, Berlin one and only heavy psych trio SAMSARA BLUES EXPERIMENT will return with their fourth album "One With The Universe" on Electric Magic Records. Enter SBE's 10-minute jam "Vipassana", and discover the album artwork below.
Guitarist and vocalist Christian Peters discusses this first excerpt: "It is the first song we did after Richard had left the band. It came out from a series of jam sessions. The song topic seems to be about growing up, or maybe growing up responsibly. Kind of a coming of age thing, wrapped in heavy riffs and Pink Floydish-psychedelia, plus some kind of Indian raga theme. It’s pretty much what one can consider as ‘classic SBE’-material already, I think. It may be interesting to know that Richard, who did not play any instruments, but again recorded the album, also contributed some nice ideas in the process, like having me play the backward solo or putting in some vintage tape-effects. we are all very happy with the outcome of this song in particular and hope you will enjoy. there is much more on the album."

Across The Burning Sky publish lyric video
After the lyric video for "Bloodlines", melodic death metallers Across The Burning Sky, who have committed themselves to the Gothenburg style, are releasing a brand new lyric video for the track "Sacrifice", a song taken off the band's current album "The End Is Near". The video, which was premiered in cooperation with Metal Hammer Italia, is a combination of lyric video and religious motifs and rituals, which, in the context of the lyrics as criticism of religion denies the existence of a god and accuses his worship practices.
"Sacrifice" is once again a fast and ferocious ode to the early melodic death metal of the nineties and will also be on the forthcoming fourth part of the "Hymns Of The Underground" compilation series.

"this is definitely the thrashiest/fastest track on the record and stands apart from the other songs for that reason. Thematically it's about the destructive nature of radicalized religion, regardless of what that religion is." comments vocalist / guitarist Alex Citrone.

Adrian Pain & The Dead Sexy release video
Toronto, ON's Adrian Pain & The Dead Sexy unleashed their new EP 'Mixed Messages' this past February to continue their solid chemistry of an 'Allcore' metal sound with emotionally stirring and socially conscious lyrics. The EP is a marriage of Adrian Pain's solo endeavours and The Dead Sexy's band work to follow EPs 'Picture Day At Night School' (2014) and their debut 'The First One Is Free' (2013) along with Pain's solo full length 'Love Letters & Suicide Notes' (2012).
Pain describes 'Mixed Messages':
“This release is like the gateway drug to metal and heavier music in general! We appeal to a very wide range of musical tastes so guys can play us for their girlfriends, and girls can play us for the guys. If you identify another way, you can play us for whomever you’d like. If any negative response comes out of it, it’ll be the fans that expect every song to get heavier with each effort. What I hope they notice is the constant evolution of our sound. The music itself is getting more and more diverse and progressive, while the song structures are also evolving into bigger, more complex arrangements. I want everyone that listens to this record to feel an emotional connection. I want people to relate to, and hear the MESSAGE in each track."
In support of the new EP, the 'Allcore' metal band has premiered their new video 'Day One'.
"The band and I are all fans of 'play through' videos. Usually you'd see individual play through videos like bassists, drummers, or guitarists by themselves. I had recently watched a few that Luke Holland & Jason Richardson have done together and thought it would be very cool to do a full band play through. We were originally planning on doing another lyric video for "Day One" but the idea fit nicely with this track because of all the great individual parts. We want our friends and fans out there, who may not always have a chance to catch 'Adrian Pain & The Dead Sexy' live, see us play and get a feel for what we do as musicians." - Adrian Pain

Sleeping awake
Untill daybreak

Give me a break
There's brokenness in my wake
Bring me your faith
Please get me someplace safe
Sleeping awake
Untill daybreak
Give me a pill
I don't know what's real
Give me a break
There's brokenness in my wake
Bring me your faith

Nighon release single and video
Nighon released a second single "The Dirge" from their upcoming album "The Somme" which is released May 5th 2017 by Inverse Records.
"We have released a new video with a strong message. The song "The Dirge" raises the question: "Why do we have wars?”. They are horrible and the majority of mankind seems to despise it. The song was inspired by the annexation of Crimea, the Vietnam war and the Korean war. Björn: "The lyrics I wrote tells us about the consequences of letting our hate spin out of control, and when governments twist lies into truths to justify war!"

MagnaCult release new video
Groove- and death- metal band MagnaCult release 'Righteous Murder', the first video and also the opening track from their upcoming album 'Infinitum'. The release of the album is set for the 12th of May, 2017 and will be followed by a number of shows, of which the first, with DevilDriver, have been announced earlier this week.
Righteous Murder features Alma Alizadeh from For I Am King to add her brutal voice to the song. The song is about how people can have such intense and disastrous experiences with others in ways they are being deprived of who they could actually become in this life.
MagnaCult´s debut album 'Synoré', released in 2007, saw the birth of their signature groove and death metal. The band took their sound to the next level with their follow-up album 'Insua EnVenom'. More brutal and technical than their 2007 debut, 'Insua EnVenom' is faster and more crushing. With their third album, 'INFINITUM', MagnaCult have nailed their music style, shifting up a gear to an epic release packed with massive guitar solos and full of groove.
