German dark rock quintet Scarlet Dorn have released a video for their new single 'Meteor'. The power ballad is the fourth single from their upcoming third album, Queen of Broken Dreams, due for release on 30th September via SPV Recordings. Stream 'Meteor' and pre-order Queen of Broken Dreams here: https://scarletdorn.lnk.to/queenofbrokendreams Scarlet Dorn combine the elegance of darkness with the catchiness of pop. Free of genre boundaries, vocalist Scarlet sings herself directly into the heart of the listener. With industrial sounds, rock ballads and electronic beats, the band takes the listener on a journey through complex human abysses, the world of hope and sorrow, but also directly into the arms of life in all its glory. With her captivating voice, Scarlet exudes a variety of emotions ranging from gentle and tender to menacing and sombre. Scarlet Dorn was founded in 2016 by producers Chris Harms and Benjamin Lawrenz, together with vocalist Scarlet Dorn. Not only through the release of the albums Lack Of Light and Blood Red Bouquet, but also through tireless touring with Within Temptation, Joachim Witt, Letzte Instanz, Lord Of The Lost among others, the band have already made a name for themselves in the dark music scene in those six short years. Scarlet Dorn are:
Hamburg-based industrial rock pioneers KMFDM have forged their own singular path since being founded by Sascha ‘Käpt’n K’ Konietzko in 1984, continually refining and redefining the parameters of modern music while also never missing an opportunity to address the social and political zeitgeist in brazen, belligerent and boisterous fashion. ‘HYËNA’ is the 22nd studio album from these quality purveyors of what Konietzko calls The Ultra Heavy Beat, and what title could be more appropriate as his band laughs mockingly at the current frayed and frantic state of world affairs? Driven by the vicious and virulent vocal onslaught of Konietzko and Lucia Cifarelli, the aural and angular guitar wizardry of Andee Blacksugar and the forceful percussive thrust of Andy Selway, ‘HYËNA’ blasts through the speakers with the force of a napalm airstrike. From the hip-thrusting swagger of ‘BLACK HOLE’, the in-your-face industrial rock of ‘LIQUOR FISH & CIGARETTES’ and the funky hip-hop overtones of ‘ROCK ’N’ ROLL MONSTER’, to the punky thrash metal fury of ‘BLINDFACE’, the sardonic blackgrass whimsy of ‘DELUDED DESPERATE DANGEROUS & DUMB’ and the irresistibly danceable electro of ‘HYËNA’ itself; KMFDM remains as vital as ever, never afraid to assimilate any musical style while keeping their lyrical talons sharpened and poised to strike against any and all injustice. Several members of the extended KMFDM family also return to leave their indelible marks on ‘HYËNA’, including guitarist Jules Hodgson, rapper Andrew ‘Ocelot’ Lindsley and Bruce Breckenfeld on the Hammond B3. In addition, Sissy Misfit adds a decidedly venomous digital hardcore flavour to ‘ALL WRONG - BUT ALRIGHT’, leaving Kumar Bent to close us out with a familiar yet fresh dub take on KMFDM classic ‘IN DUB WE TRUST’. ‘HYËNA’ is a maniacal laugh in the face of all those maniacs who assume control, desperately trying to convince you that what you see, what you hear, what you read is not real – don’t you believe it! Nearly four decades on, KMFDM continues to keep it real for you as ‘HYËNA’ proves to be among the group’s leanest and meanest efforts, feeding fuel to the fury! facebook.com/officialkmfdm metropolis-records.com Gothic rock duo, Psycholies, have released a music video for their new single 'Never Alone', which is out today on all digital platforms. The song is taken from their forthcoming album, to be released on June 24th, 2022 via Trisol Music Group. The YouTube video can be viewed below.
'Never Alone' was produced by Psycholies. Recorded at Garage Sound Studio. Mixed and Mastered at Lucky Recording Studio. Artwork by Walter Tarallo and Sammi Walters. Psycholies is a brand new band formed in Bari, South of Italy, in early 2014. The two members are all coming from previous musical experiences, with tons of live sets on their backs. Their music is a mixture of Industrial rock, Softcore, GothRock melted into a unique, modern and extravagant style. Psycholies have released their debut album in September 2014. Psycholies is:-
Danish electro / goth indie rock trio Nelson Can have announced the Solo Desire: Remix Together collaboration project—an initiative to use their own audience and streaming channels to provide an opportunity for artists and musicians to further support themselves financially at this difficult time. After disbanding earlier this year, the three-piece are providing open-source access to the stems from their final album So Long Desire, and encouraging fellow artists and producers to submit their own remixes of tracks from the record. All submissions will then be released on a 50/50 royalty split with contributors, who the trio hope will benefit from the band’s existing profile and audience.
The deadline for submissions is midnight on 21st May 2020. Commenting on the idea, the band say:- “Times like these call for creative thinking. We disbanded in January so we don’t really need the publicity, but a lot of artists do. We want to offer the chance to other artists to use our platform; our name, our music and our access to fans and followers, to generate revenue for themselves. Really, it’s a no-brainer. We have something that could be valuable to others, and we are currently not using it, so why on earth shouldn’t we just allow others to use it? It’s important to us to make clear that this is not charity; it’s about sharing and collaboration. The artists who join the project will receive credit and royalties for their work and can hopefully use it to add to the progression of their own career.” So Long Desire was released earlier this year on Alcopop! Records and was Nelson Can's first album in six years. Their maturation as both musicians and songwriters over the course of their career can be heard strikingly in the evolution of this, their final record together. Since parting ways, the members of Nelson Can are all embarking on new musical projects. Front woman Selina Gin has taken up the mantle as producer and lyricist in her solo project ‘SELINA GIN’, where she creates beautiful soundscapes to envelope her sometimes delicate, sometimes earth-shattering, voice in chameleonic fashion. She had her debut live performance as a solo artist supporting The National last November. Bassist Signe SigneSigne and drummer Maria Juntunen are both also working on new projects, with details TBA. Solo Desire: Remixed Together will be released 19th June 2020 http://www.nelsoncan.com https://twitter.com/nelsoncanband https://www.facebook.com/nelsoncanband/ https://www.facebook.com/selinaginiconic/ Black Satellite is celebrating this Friday the 13th with the premiere of the aggressive and hard-hitting music video for "I Don't Wanna Be Me." Premiering exclusively with Loudwire today, this song was recorded as a tribute to Type O Negative and lead singer Peter Steele leading up to the anniversary of his death tomorrow. On the track, singer Larissa Vale shares "We were inspired by the song conceptually, and wanted to take creative liberty in really making it our own. People may say prematurely that 'it doesn't sound like the original,' but it really sounds like us as a band, and that, we are truly proud of. The emotional context of the song remains intact and we hope that fans will enjoy this version as much as we did making it." The video features drumming sensation Casey Cooper, and is the second part of this project, alongside the previously released video for "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend" On the project, Black Satellite shared "We wanted to release these songs as a tribute to the legacy that Pete left behind. These are big shoes to fill, literally, and we saw it not only as a challenge, but a way for us to experiment and grow artistically. There is definitely something to be said in his music, and covering the songs was our way to recognize that and tip our hats to him." Both tracks will be available across all DSPs tomorrow, April 14th. Called a "rock band beyond definition" by idobi Radio, Black Satellite have been crafting mind-blowing alt-rock for over six years. Comprised of Larissa Vale (vocals) and Kyle Hawken (guitar), the duo came together in their hometown of State College, Pennsylvania and quickly formed a loyal bond that created the foundation for Black Satellite. Black Satellite was named one of Alternative Press' "12 Bands You Need to Know" sharing that "Frontwoman Larissa Vale offers an aggressively elegant vocal range that pairs perfectly over Kyle Hawken's melodic guitar riffs and instrumental work. Each song from Endless effortlessly shows off the duo's provocative sound and captivating alt-rock essence." Additional support from the band from outlets like Billboard, Loudwire, New Noise Magazine, Alternative Press and more have continued to validate and solidify Black Satellite's place in the rock world. Mastered by Ted Jensen (Muse, Marilyn Manson, Deftones), the band's debut album Endless paints an almost cinematic landscape, with each track revealing a new facet of the duo's style and complexity. Pairing influences ranging from Alice in Chains to Gojira with personal, emotional experiences and stories, Black Satellite have crafted a unified body of work that showcases their undeniable range. Vale remarked that with Endless, "We not only confronted our fears head-on, but were completely immersed in them." https://blacksatellite.com/ https://www.facebook.com/BlackSatelliteOfficial https://www.instagram.com/blacksatellite https://twitter.com/BlackSatellite Australian gothic / industrial hard rock outfit The Creptter Children has premiered their label debut in full. Asleep With Your Devil EP features five tracks, with one being a new version of their 2016 single "Watching You," and is out today on Imminence Records. "Asleep With Your Devil to me is just the beginning of oeuvre and artistic expression that will follow. This new EP offers fans a tantalising sample of the direction The Creptter Children’s musical journey will take them too in the future. After spending many long nights working very hard in the studio on this EP, I was quite pleased to hear the end result. As an artist I can be my own worse critic and will always pick out my flaws. However, I can say I was rather content with the final product and look forward to the next endeavour. My mind never sleeps and I ‘am putting together new song ideas as we speak.” - Iballa Chantelle (Vocalist) The Creptter Children are a gothic / industrial hard rock band currently based in Melbourne, Australia. They originated from Perth in 2006 by founding members Iballa Chantelle (vocals / guitars) and N8oR (guitars / synth). They released their debut album, entitled Possessed, back in 2010 before touring in the US during 2011. Shortly thereafter they took a hiatus before reappearing in 2016 and quickly catching the attention of American label Imminence Records. They announced their signing with the release of their “Watching You” music video on Halloween of that year. Renowned for their catchy hooks and dark fashion sense, which stem from the dark and twisted mind of Iballa Chantelle, the band brings to their fans (also known as “Freaks”) her message of creativity, open mindedness, and positive reflection towards spirituality and the supernatural. With influences from Behemoth, Marilyn Manson, and Rob Zombie while being endorsed by Ibanez Guitars and Vampress Fashion, The Creptter Children are ready to take 2018 by storm with a new EP and a label backing them.
