Release Date: January 28th, 2022 FFO: Pantera, Machine Head, Parkway Drive Location: Perth, Australia Perth rising metal stars INFINITE EXILE kick off 2022 with a brand new song "WAR IS HERE" which was released last week. The new track is indicative of a heavier direction from their previous material, delving further into the bands unique sound, constantly evolving and never once following a trend.  Check out the video! [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="84ck6CeqQHA"] Streaming link: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/infiniteexile/war-is-here On the new video for “War Is Here”, the band states: “This video is us introducing ourselves to the world, our energy, our emotion, and our passion. We wanted to launch hard and make a statement with this new single, and we decided that the best way to convey how strongly we feel about the current situation around the world was to back the single up with a video that captures who we are. We teamed up with Joe from Dark Spirit Photography and fleshed out our vision for the clip, and he brought to life the rawness and anger that inspired this track.  This is us in our truest form, and our message is clear. Wake up, war is here.” On the new song “War Is Here”, the band comments: “War Is Here is us at our fastest and most aggressive. 2022 is a new era for the band, we’ve never been more focused and determined, and we really wanted to come out of the gate swinging with a statement piece that encapsulates what a lot of us are feeling right now with the current political climate worldwide. There’s so much anxiety, confusion and division, and this song speaks about that, and we believe it succinctly portrays our thoughts and feelings on the subject”. Heavily inspired by 90s thrash and groove metal, the band draws inspiration from Pantera and Machine Head, blended with modern progressive elements and mixed in a way that gives the music a unique and timeless sound. Tight eclectic rhythm guitars, groovy intricate basslines, and explosive drumming, all combining to create the backdrop for aggressive and saturating vocals. Perth based Infinite Exile was formed in mid 2020, with three of the members having played together previously in Human Effigy, and Shannon Marston (Vocals) and Josh Fox (Bass) having played together in internationally touring bands for over a decade. After the dissolution of Human Effigy, Shannon, Josh, and Fabian Vacca (Guitars) decided to reaffirm what they wanted to create and settled on carving their own path through genres rather than trying to conform to what other bands were playing or writing music to fit within a certain genre. Enlisting drummer Kallum O’Regan, the band wrote and released two singles “Ruminate” and “Skin”. After debuting these tracks live, as well as some demo tracks, the band decided that their live show needed one more guitarist to round out their sound. After Sam Walker-Smith joined the band in early 2021, the lineup was completed, and the band had found their cohesive groove. “…a meaty slab of melodic but heavy riffs, beats and roaring vocals, a concoction of the members various influences resulting in something uniquely attention grabbing” – The Rockpit With the full lineup, Fabian started finalizing the new songs with input from the rest of the band, for what would become the EP The Path Of Most Resistance. The EP was mixed and mastered by Gareth Hargreaves in Brisbane, with the band working remotely to send him tracks. Artwork was designed by Fiaz Farrelly, with the EP cover being shot in the Catacombs of Paris. Infinite Exile is currently writing music for the follow-up to their debut EP The Path Of Most Resistance (released in 2021), with the intention of releasing singles later in the year off of a forthcoming LP.  Follow the band at these links: https://linktr.ee/Infiniteexilehttps://infiniteexile.comhttps://www.facebook.com/infiniteexilehttps://instagram.com/infiniteexilehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYxpCTpepXiUHsbRAzMtJmQhttps://infiniteexile.bandcamp.com/ Less

Release Date: January 18, 2022 FFO: Gojira, Mastodon, Enslaved Location: Finland Sargassus was formed in 2012 by guitarist Teemu Leskinen and drummer Matias Rokio. Much of their time playing and practising together culminated in the band's debut EP "The Giant", which was finalized when Matias Stenman joined the band on vocals in late 2020. Soon after that, Mohammad "Aelian" Hallaji joined the band as their new bass player. Hallaji had moved to Finland from Iran to pursue his musical passion, and with the now completed lineup the band set out to compose and record new material. The single "Tiamat" was released in 2021, followed by a lyric video. Later in 2021, the band got to finally play their debut gig, at which they teased a new EP consisting of 3 songs. The EP, titled "The Albatross", was released in early 2022, featuring better production quality than ever before, as well as more ambitious compositions and a darker and gloomier atmosphere. Interestingly, most of the songs are composed intuitively in live jamming sessions by Rokio and Leskinen. Stenman is the crazy mastermind responsible for the poetic aspect of the songs and Hallaji brings his years of experience to wake up the low frequencies like no one else!  Check out this video!

Check it out here at this link: https://www.musiccitydigitalmedianetwork.com/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvwxrz1SYFBb2XP_PerwnJtSfGXyselVK Release Date: November 16, 2021 FFO: The New Bardots, Billy Joel, The Rolling Stones Location: USA The Unite The States Project is a newly formed concept formed by rock musicians from New Jersey: frontman Wayne Olivieri (The NEW Bardots), Gar Francis (The NEW Bardots, Billy Idol, The Doughboys), Dan Skye (The NEW Bardots), and Johnny Rago (The NEW Bardots) with guest harmonica on the Track "Just Another Dance In The City" Myke Scavone (The Yardbirds, The Doughboys, Ram Jam) and guest sax man Joe Grillo on the track "Americas Burning". These musicians have decided to write and release a 5 songs EP to protest what is happening in the United States and all over the globe and to use an alias on this EP as to not offend any NEW Bardot fans with their straightforward content, which differs from the previous lighthearted works. Even though the band is split between leaning left and right in the political arena, they all agreed that the current state of things is corrupt and needed to be addressed. An upcoming EP of 5 songs is due out as a form of artistic protest to what the group perceives to be a serious threat to democracy and its values. The so-called “woke” mentality and Governments links to the so-called Big Business/Big Tech/Big Pharma lobbies to the disadvantage of common people. The Unite The States Project’s first single/video “Battle Stations” depicts a bit of it all in a pop-rock kind of vibe. The overall goal of The Unite The States Project is “to show - no matter where you stand politically that we can still come together for a united cause and that it’s time for the people to take notice of what is happening in our countries before we end up in a Marxist world, which has been tried before and didn’t turn out too well” – Unite The States Project Check out the video!
