Hailing from Cambridge and featuring members from Greece, Netherlands, UK and the USA, heavy metallers SYNTHETIC have published the track “Hollow” on Youtube, which features iconic drummer Dirk Verbeuren (Soilwork, Megadeth).
Listen to it here:
The song is taken off from the band’s debut album “Here Lies The Truth”.
As they gear up for a slate of rock festivals and a headlining tour of Europe and international festivals, OF MICE & MEN (vocalist/bassist Aaron Pauley, guitarist Alan Ashby, drummer Valentino Arteaga and guitarist Phil Manansala) have released “Unbreakable,” a scorching new track recorded with Grammy-nominated producer Howard Benson (Sepultura, My Chemical Romance), mixed by Grammy winner Chris Lord-Alge (Deftones, Muse) and mastered by Chris Athens (Drake, Ozzy Osbourne).
The release of “Unbreakable” and this past weekend’s electrifying performance at Las Rageous begins a new chapter for the influential metal band.
“We’re incredibly excited for the world to hear our brand new song, ‘Unbreakable,’ which is all about staring fear in the face, overcoming fear’s ability to keep you stagnant, and telling it where it stands,” says Pauley. “Through this transitional time, we’ve felt the tremendous outpouring of love, encouragement, and support from our fans around the world, and we can’t wait to see you all soon. None of this would be possible without you, and we thank you all, endlessly.”
OF MICE & MEN have hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Rock and Independent Charts and No. 4 on the genre-spanning Top 200. They’ve racked up over 153 million Spotify streams, 20 million YouTube views and close to 5 million social media followers. They’ve shared stages with artists such as Metallica, Linkin Park and Queens of the Stone Age and not only held their own, but won over new fans in the process. They’ve played hundreds of shows for packed-house-crowds around the world, released three studio albums to critical acclaim, and recorded tracks that have blanketed rock radio airwaves. Their sound has broken through obstacles of language, distance and culture. For most bands, such achievements usually mark the summation of a long career– if they’re lucky. But OF MICE & MEN have accomplished all that and more over the course of a mere five years. And while those feats make for one helluva resume, what makes this band really matter is that they’ve never stopped pushing themselves to go further. The Southern California-based quintet recently released Cold World with producer David Bendeth, who they worked with on 2014’s Restoring Force, which hit No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and No. 1 on both the Billboard Top Independent and Top Rock Albums Charts.
“Unbreakable” is Of Mice & Men’s first new music since the departure of vocalist Austin Carlile, whose ongoing battle with Marfan syndrome forced him to leave the band at the end of last year.
OF MICE & MEN will be making their UK comeback by playing Download Festival 9th-11th June at Donnington Park.
Los Angeles-based fans can catch the band performing alongside Rise Against on July 13th at the Shrine Auditorium.

Romania based Funeral Doom Metal combo Descend into Despair announce the release date of their upcoming studio album, Synaptic Veil, for the 5th of June, via Loud Rage Music. Synaptic Veil was mixed and mastered in London by Daniel Neagoe, known from his work in bands like Eye of Solitude, Clouds, and recently also Shape of Despair, and features the special guest appearance of Kostas Panagiotou from Pantheist. The album video trailer is now online here:
The band’s second effort features 5 long tracks with a total duration of over 55 minutes of introspective haze:
1. Damnatio Memoriae
2. Alone With My Thoughts
3. Demise
4. Silence In Sable Acrotism
5. Tomorrow
The original cover artwork for Synaptic Veil is signed by talented local artist Maria Elisabeta Cucu.
Band comments: “our latest effort to date, is also our most articulate endeavour so far. The veil here is ambiguous and double-sided: “objective” reality imposes a layer of limitations onto our mental landscape; but our inner, “subjective” reality lays a veil of concepts on top of the physical reality as a coping mechanism.”
Swedish crossover kings DR LIVING DEAD!are set to enter the studio this weekend to record their fourth full length album, the follow up to 2015’s “Crush the Sublime Gods” released via Century Media Records.
The recording will take place in Studio Rovljud in Örebro, Sweden and will again be helmed by Martin Jacobsson and Anders Alexandersson who both worked with the band on the previous effort as well.
CommentsDR. LIVING DEAD!: “This album is way overdue and we are proud to announce that this is finally happening. We promise a hard hitting and dynamic piece of crossover in your ugly faces. If not, we strongly encourage you to bitch about it online. A big thank you to everyone who supported us up until now, you know who you are and we look forward to unleashing new music for your ear pleasure!”
The as of yet untitled album is set for a fall release via Century Media Records, with touring to follow.
