Léo Isnard comments: “Not counting the interludes, this is the shortest track of our new album. For me, it represents a perfect synthesis of all that I like to play in this band: doom parts, blast beats, and some space to add a more personal touch. And of course, nothing is better than those fast blast beats before the end of this song!”

The French cultists have previously painted the glorious horrors and eldritch pleasures contained on their new full-length ‘EOD – A Tale Of Dark Legacy’ into the murky shape of a lyric video directed and produced by Hugo Aribart based on the artwork of Jeff Grimal. This clip for “When the Stars Align” can be viewed at the link below.

THE GREAT OLD ONES comment: “We are proud to present our new lyric video for the song ‘When the Stars Align’. The clip is based on the amazing artwork of Jeff Grimal and represents a faithful celebration of Lovecraft’s entities, ancient and unspeakable, who will one day return to the place which they have left. Come and see us live on a journey to the other side of the mirror. Join us in veneration of the true masters of the universe.”

Bent Knee launch animated video for ‘Time Deer’


Bent Knee have unveiled their gripping music video for ‘Time Deer’. The video and song are a stunning depiction and commentary on our ever-changing and strained relationship with technology and our environment, just one of the many themes discussed on band’s critically-acclaimed album Land Animal.

 

The director Riki Nitabaru comments: “Before I began working on the animation, I spent some time thinking about how to portray the song’s story in visuals. The story centers around a deer that travels through time, trying to find the cause of humanity’s problems in the modern world. I thought it would be too dull to draw that up literally, so I interpreted the story in my own way to add some flare. 

In my take, just as the deer finds the cause of all strife, the world starts to cleanse itself. The deer becomes a receptacle of all living things, and it morphs to become a brand new being that encompasses all life forms. 

Since I had this storyboard in my mind, putting together the production was like a simple puzzle. There were times where I was unsure what to draw for specific moments of the song. But, I found inspiration in the drama portrayed in the music, and was able to create something better than I first imagined. 

I hope this video enhances your enjoyment of Bent Knee!”

‘Land Animal’ is available as CD, LP+ CD & digital download here:

“Bent Knee deliver in a way that not many bands can.” – Louder Than War

“Throwing off shackles of genre…truly the definition of experimentalism.” – Consequence of Sound

“It’s very rare that an artist or band comes along that changes your perspective on music and art. Bent Knee have done just that.” – Substream

The band recently released a live video for the single ‘Terror Bird’, and you can watch that here:
 https://youtu.be/XIcTchfB8To

Bent Knee formed in 2009 as a democratic collective determined to push the boundaries of pop and rock. Lead singer and keyboardist Courtney Swain’s soaring vocals are instantly arresting. Guitarist Ben Levin is one of the most dynamic and versatile guitarists around, shifting between the raging and raucous to the sublime and meditative. Bassist Jessica Kion and drummer Gavin Wallace-Ailsworth combine into an enthralling rhythm section that’s equal parts powerhouse and nuance. Violinist Chris Baum’s kinetic violin work provides drama, grace and intrigue. World-class producer and live sound designer Vince Welch weaves it all together with a captivating, expert touch.

The band has gone from strength to strength in recent years. Its last two albums, 2016’s Say So and 2014’s Shiny Eyed Babies, were hailed as significant art-rock achievements. The group has performed hundreds of shows across the world to date. During the fall of 2016, the band played for ecstatic audiences as an opener for the U.S. leg of The Dillinger Escape Plan’s farewell tour ahead of signing with InsideOutMusic/Sony.

“We’re very excited to be working with InsideOutMusic/Sony,” said Swain. “It’s wonderful to have our music reach a lot of new ears across the globe through them. It’s an honor to join their roster of prestigious artists and we look forward to a long relationship with the label.”

STREET DOGS ink worldwide record deal with Century Media Records; join Vans Warped Tour & hit Europe


Boston, Mass. punk rock legends STREET DOGS are excited to reveal they have signed a worldwide record deal with Century Media Records.

Bassist Johnny Rioux comments:
We are thrilled to be invited into the Century Media family. We have always appreciated bands and labels doing something different and who value and express themselves through multiple genres of music, CM are no exception and have a rich history to back it up. Rock and roll, metal, hardcore, if it has heart, soul, and conviction we always stand behind it.”

The band will celebrate their signing later today as they join the prestigious Vans Warped Tour for a string of dates featured on the SkullCandy Stage throughout July 16. Full dates can be found listed below. Tickets are available now at http://vanswarpedtour.com/dates/.

In addition to that, the band’s European fans can look forward to STREET DOGS shows and festival gigs from mid-August to early September, you can view the exact dates below.

Virtually everyone in the punk rock world knows who the STREET DOGS are. Formed in 2002 following the departure of vocalist Mike McColgan from Dropkick Murphys, it was clear from that moment he began writing with Rioux that this would be more a force, and a family, than simply a band.

Having gone through various line-up changes over the past 15 years, STREET DOGS have released five full-length albums and several EP’s, including their most recent 7″, “Crooked Drunken Sons”, in 2013 via Pirates Press. The band have kept an active international touring schedule over the years on the road with a who’s who of punk icons including Flogging Molly, Social Distortion, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Rancid, Bad Religion, The Pogues, Cock Sparrer, Bouncing Souls, Anti-Flag and Dropkick Murphy’s, just to name a few!

SATYRICON – Unveil First Details Aabout Brand New Album ‘Deep calleth upon Deep’!


Nearly three years in the making, SATYRICON have announced that ‘Deep calleth upon Deep’, their highly anticipated ninth studio album, is set for release on 22nd September via Napalm Records.

Recorded in Oslo, Norway and Vancouver, Canada, during early 2017 and mixed together with revered studio guru Mike Fraser (who previously worked on SATYRICON’s 2006 album, ‘Now, Diabolical’), ‘Deep calleth upon Deep’ is not just a new collection of songs from one of extreme music’s most enduring and reliable bands: this is a wholesale reinvention and a brand new era in SATYRICON history.

Frontman and visionary, Satyr informs us “Approaching this release, what I always kept in mind is that either this is the beginning of something new or it’s gonna be my last record.  If this is going to be the last, then it needs to be something special.  If there are more records, then I’d better make sure that this is so different from the last one that it feels like a new beginning.  I think it’s really, really dark, very spiritual and filled with confidence and energy.”

‘Deep calleth upon Deep’ is a profound statement about the essence of SATYRICON’s music and the eternal value of art itself.  Satyr continues, “The way that I see it is that for any art, be it SATYRICON or any other form of art with substance, in order for you to be able to inhale and completely understand it, it will take a little bit of you as well.  If you get it all after a couple of listens, you know that it probably won’t stay with you.  So the title is saying, ‘From the depth of the people making this record to the depth of the listener…’  If you want to take part in this journey, you should be prepared to dig deep down in the darkest corner of your soul with us.”

SATYRICON is also proud to share the album’s front cover – an obscure drawing from 1898 by perhaps the greatest Norwegian artist of all time, Edvard Munch.
