American hard rock band Into the Fire, featuring vocalist Bryan Scott (The Union Underground), bassist Tim King (SOiL), guitarist Adam Zadel (SOiL), and Will Hunt (Evanescence), have just released a lyric video for their new single ‘From The Medicine’.
‘From The Medicine’ comes from the self titled Into The Fire debut EP and is a follow up to the single and music video ‘Spit You Out’.
The group is planning to record new material and make touring plans for later in 2017.
Into The Fire’s debut EP was released 22nd September 2016 via Pavement Entertainment and was engineered, produced, and mixed by Bryan W. Scott and mastered by James Murphy. The result can be best described as a raw and stripped down rock sound with modern elements. The digital EP bundle, containing 3 tracks and a bonus video, is available at digital and streaming outlets everywhere.
Finnish thrash metal band Justice Theory has released a new single!
Their third single ”Welcome To The Family” is released today March 26th 2017. Valtteri came up with lyrics that/which fitted perfectly to an energetic spirit of the song. Idea for lyrics came from that raw aggressiveness and speedy going, which eventually got the band decide that this would definitely be their next single to release. More specifically, the lyrics tell about a person/ a guy/ citizen, who has had enough of this world shackled by foolish standards and limitations. He builds a family of rebels which starts to riot against the world of restrictive rules.
A comment from Valtteri :
In the beginning we decided that our next single is going to be cheery, high-powered track. We took few steps back from massiveness and melodiousness that our previous single “Unbroken” was all about. Welcome To The Family is highly inspired by our first single “Necessary Evil” and also has the vibes that Anthrax were been able to bring in their songs – Not too seriously, but convincingly. I think that we managed to get what we wanted in this song, and I’m quite sure that it will be one of the highlights on our upcoming shows. IT ROCKS!
This song is dedicated to our dearest friends and fans, who are supported and believed in us from the very beginning. We are more than happy to see that you guys are out there! So huge thank you all!
Influenced by bands like Alice In Chains, Five Finger Death Punch, Pantera and Godsmack, Vancouver, BC’s CRNKSHFT have carved out a sound in the vein of Shinedown, Breaking Benjamin, Alter Bridge plus Black Stone Cherry. Going full throttle, the band release their new self-titled EP, out now as of March 24, 2017 to follow their 2015 debut ‘Hard Fucking Rock’. The EP was produced by Daren Grahn who has engineered on albums for Metallica, Hedley, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi and features their award winning single ‘Systematic’ voted ‘Best Metal Song’ at the Academia Awards Academy in Los Angeles, demonstrating the band’s punishing high octane sound.
