New Album, Rub My Mind, out June 16, 2017 | Pre-Orders Below
“BARB WIRE DOLLS are punk rock all the way to the bone!” – Vice
Following up on a very successful 2016, raucous rockers BARB WIRE DOLLS are set to release their brand new album, Rub My Mind, on June 16, 2017 via Motörhead Music. The band will tour all summer long in North America on the Vans Warped Tour in support of the album! BARB WIRE DOLLS can be seen daily on the Skullcandy Stage. Tickets are on sale now via http://www.vanswarpedtour.com. In addition, the band is on tour now in the UK/Europe.
“Back in the U.S.S.A.”, the first single taken from the new album, is a two and half minute fiery social statement of satirical punk-rock heaven that well represents the true sentiment of the record. The video premiered today via Kerrang! and can be watched here: http://www.kerrang.com/48533/barb-wire-dolls-premiere-new-video-back-ussa/
Rub My Mind was recorded in the Joshua Tree desert at legendary studio Rancho De La Luna in California, where Iggy Pop and Queens Of The Stone Age made their seminal albums. Produced and mixed by Jay Baumgardner (Evanescene, John Fogerty, Bush), Rub My Mind is a collection of thirteen eclectic tracks that reflect on the state of our world, how to deal with it – and how to escape it! Rub My Mind builds on the energetic platform of their last two releases – Slit (2013) and Desperate (2016) – delivering an album that confidently grabs your immediate attention. Rub My Mind‘s soundscape blends the melodic rage of lead guitarist and former pro surfer and skateboarder Pyn Doll, the crunchy rhythm guitar of Remmington, the pulsating bass of Iriel Blaque, the Bonham-esque power of Krash Doll on drums; all led by Isis Queen’s dynamic vocals and flamboyant presence. Dedicated to legend Lemmy, the album is an exciting retro cocktail of late ’70s influenced punk and ’90s grunge refracted through the prism of 2017.

1. Back In The U.S.S.A.

Stream “The Path To The Endless Fall” here
With a more evident progressive influence but without giving up the weight and virtuosity of power metal, the new album brings a more mature band, a more balanced sound and reflects the musicians technical and artistic evolution since the debut album “One”.
The album concept revolves around the journey we all go through in search of fullness and inner peace. The album artwork is created by Felipe Machado Franco [Blind Guardian, Rhapsody of Fire, Iced Earth].
Led by vocalist Daísa Munhoz, Vandroya are ready to take the next step and make a mark in the metal scene with “Beyond The Human Mind”.
UK female fronted Hard Rock/Gothic Punk act Lesbian Bed Death have just unleashed their third single ‘Son Of A Thousand Maniacs’ taken from their latest album, ‘Evil Never Dies’.
The new song and video is inspired by the popular horror movie, Nightmare On Elm Street. The frontwoman Sienna Venom explains: “I grew up watching all of the classic 80s horror movies, and the Nightmare On Elm Street franchise was one of my favourites. We’ve always wanted to pay homage to Freddy Krueger in a future music video, and now we’ve finally made it happen with this track”.
To fit the tone of the song and video, it was filmed at the famous haunted 18th century pub, The Leopard Inn, in Stoke-on-Trent. The music video sees Sienna Venom take of the role of Freddy Krueger as she torments a teenage girl in her nightmares. Check out the hell raising song/video below!
Lesbian Bed Death have also announced a UK tour with more dates to
be confirmed later in the year:
21st April – The Dome, London (Supporting Aurelio Voltaire)
1st May – Heaven & Hell Festival, Hull (headline)
VOLKER are new to the North American heavy metal scene, but are destined to break out in a big way with the release of their upcoming melodic assault, Dead Doll, hitting North American retailers on May 26, 2017 via Overpowered Records / AISA/RED distribution. North American pre-orders for Dead Doll are available now via Amazon in digital and CD formats.
Building upon the diverse musical background of the French four-piece, Dead Doll blends assorted heavy music influences such as 90’s grunge rock, retro power metal, classic rock and even horror punk to create an accessible, engaging sound that has yet to be matched by any current artist of late.
Check out a teaser for VOLKER‘s upcoming music video for the single “Obey!” The North American version of Dead Doll also features a bonus remix of the track, remixed by Strugg.

Cleanse The Bloodlines is the first track off of UNLEASH THE ARCHERS upcoming album Apex!
This one is really going to get you banging your head! With chest-thumping bass lines and penetrating guitar melodies, UNLEASH THE ARCHERS newest release compels you to chant with fists raised high in the air “All hail heavy metal!”
Powerful front woman Brittney Slayes states: “We are beyond stoked to finally debut a track from the new album, and this song was unanimously chosen as the first single by the whole band, no question. It’s a heavy song so we wanted a heavy video, and we think that Richard (Olak, director) did an incredible job of capturing the essence of the album perfectly. It was a brutal two days of filming in zero degree weather, but it was worth it, and we think it turned out well. We filmed with a 6K RED Weapon, one of the best cameras out there right now, and the cinematic quality adds to the dark nature of the lyrical content. We think our fans are really going to like this one!”
