The brand new single from the legendary Applehead entitled ‘Down’ is here now from the new soon-to-be-released album, listen to the song below and check out a sneakpeak from the video which will be released next month.
After a resurgence from Greg Minier (former The Crucified guitarist) and all of his classic back catalog he felt the time was right to bring a second edition of Applehead to the masses. The band is taking shape and is planning on getting out there and performing as they finish up their new full length album. The line up currently features Greg out front, as well as warrior bass monster Jaymi Millard. Enjoy the new single and stay tuned as Applehead is about to embark on a new musical journey.
Primal return with their sophomore album Humachine, an album filled with elements from early thrash bands.
Primal first gained notoriety with the release of their self-titled debut album as they featured members from bands like HIrax and Deliverance as well as the Argentinian bands V8 and Logos. Just like with their debut, Humachine was produced by Grammy –winner Iggy Elisabetsky at D-Organization Studios in Los Angeles with mastering done by Rob Colwell at Bombworks Studios in Texas.
Humachine opens up with “The Cage”, a song with a catchy, heavy riff driving a song that retains a sense of melody. Being my first exposure to the band, I hear element of late 80s-early 90s metal and thrash and to my ears the overall sound and production seems a bit like a throwback to that era. Everything is clear in the mix but the low end seems a bit lost. Alberto Zamarbide’s vocals are smooth and mostly stay in relatively neutral space avoiding the high and low registers.
Following their 2020-album A Virtual World and Live at Sweden Rock, a digital, 4-track EP in 2022, Stockholm-based melodic metal act Metalite has revealed a brand new track, entitled ‘Take My Hand’!
“We’re thrilled to release ‘Take My Hand’, a single we wrote during album sessions that could have made it into a big European music contest, LOL! We’re excited to finally share it with our fans who have been waiting for new music”, the band comments. “This track showcases our signature sound with heavy guitar riffs, soaring vocals, and a catchy chorus that will leave you wanting more. We hope this song will bring a little light into people’s lives during these tough times. Thank you for your support, and we can’t wait to see how our fans react to it.”
A music video for the new Metalite song is now streaming here:
Swedish progressive metal band All Things Fallen, featuring members of Darkwater and Pain of Salvation have released a new lyric/guitar playthrough video for the song ‘Narcissistic Ritual’. The song is taken from their latest album “Shadow Way”. The video can be watched below.
“Shadow Way” has been released on June 3rd 2022 via Beyond the Storm Productions. The album is mixed and mastered by Dennis Koehne (Orden Ogan, Sodom). A perfect album for fans of atmospheric and progressive metal and bands like Evergrey, Soen, Pain of Salvation and Darkwater!
