MÖTLEY CRÜE recently recorded four new songs for the film adaptation of the group's biography, "The Dirt - Confessions Of The World's Most Notorious Rock Band". The movie, which is being helmed by "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa" director Jeff Tremaine, was picked up by Netflix after being previously developed at Focus Features and before that at Paramount. On Friday (October 12), bassist Nikki Sixx took to Twitter to write: "Fück can I just say it? I'm listening to the roughs of the new MÖTLEY CRÜE and it feels real and raw. Everybody is playing like mad and the songs crush. Bob Rock brought the sounds. Plus we have a surprise that will confirm that we're outta our minds." In response to a Twitter question from a fan on how the new music will fit in, since the film is based on MÖTLEY CRÜE's past, Sixx responded: "You can trust us these are ball-busters. Everybody can relax. We're soon gonna smack you upside the head with some killer new tracks. Bob Rock is producing. It's our movie. We know what we're doing." MÖTLEY CRÜE singer Vince Neil tweeted last month that he was "going back in recording studio in a few weeks" with his bandmates to lay down his vocals on the group's new songs. Neil's remarks came just two weeks after a picture of Sixx and CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee was posted on the band's Facebook page, along with the caption "28th August 2018." Appearing with them in the photo was longtime CRÜE producer and collaborator Bob Rock. In addition, Lee posted a brief video of himself playing drums on his Instagram, captioning the clip: "It's that new shit!!!" Back in late 2016, Sixx shot down any possibility of the CRÜE returning as a recording act, telling TeamRock that there was "no chance" of the band making another record. "I want to just leave it intact," he said. "I see no reason. We couldn't be creative as a band, so how the hell can we continue? But I'm glad the way it finished — we did it all, we did what we said we were going to do, and now I'm excited about the future." MÖTLEY CRÜE's last studio album was 2008's "Saints Of Los Angeles", which was followed by a 2009 "Greatest Hits" compilation. A tour film about MÖTLEY CRÜE's final shows, "The End", came out in 2016. In 2015, MÖTLEY CRÜE completed "The Final Tour", closing the book on the band's iconic career after performing a total of 164 shows in 72 markets, grossing over $100 million. To cement the sense of finality, the four members of MÖTLEY CRÜE in 2014 publicly signed a "cessation of touring" contract that prevents any of them from performing under the CRÜE name in the future.

In partnership with Toilet ov Hell, Hyderabad, India’s deathrash metal purveyors Godless are launching a full-band playthrough video for the song “Empty Graves.” The song, featuring former Obscura guitarist Tom “Fountainhead” Geldschläger, is a part of the upcoming EP Swarm, out on October 27th. Commented Godless, “Lyrically, ‘Empty Graves’ deals with reanimation of the dead and occultism. We also have ex-Obscura and Defeated Sanity guitarist Tom ‘Fountainhead’ Geldschläger playing a monstrous solo on this track. Tom’s solo just elevates the song to the next level; it was really awesome to have him on board. It was only fitting to have this as the closing track on the EP – a perfect epilogue. We’ve played this track live just a couple of times to date and it really gets the crowd going!” Geldschläger, who also appears in the playthrough video, said: “I’m happy to have been invited to play on the new Godless EP. I’ve had a ton of fun playing on it, as the track is just a huge rush of adrenaline and I love the way everything came together in the final product. Godless is a band that is definitely going places and will conquer the world, and I’m glad to have been a small part of that.” Godless have previously launched a single for “From Beyond,” available as a lyric video on YouTube. Swarm is out on October 27th, and is available to pre-order from Bandcamp (worldwide) and Instamojo (India). The release is also available on iTunes and Google Play Music.

Today, Werewolf Records, in conspiracy with Hells Headbangers, is sets November 30th as the international release date for Morgal's highly anticipated new mini-album, Morgal, on CD and 12" vinyl format. Hailing from the forever-fertile Finnish black metal underground, Morgal are one of that scene's best-kept secrets. With two of its members not even yet into their 20s, these ravenous young men have crafting absolutely electric, beWITCHing metal since their formation in 2014. To date, their releases have been incredibly limited or just plain impossible to attain - their debut album, 2016's Käärmesielu, was released in an edition of only 20 copies - but with Morgal, their wolfish cry shall now be heard far and wide. Fence-sitters and the false, your days are numbered. Comprising a mere 15 minutes, the four songs making up Morgal are some of the most immediately exciting heavy metal of recent times, but draped in the velvety wings of ancient blackness. Each of these anthems literally explodes from the speakers with a rabid intensity and cocksure exuberance that are simply impossible to resist, each a hideous, hungry torrent of wild soloing, near-chaotically careening rhythm, and frothing-mad vox. They all exude the ageless wisdom of true black METAL - so ageless, in fact, that you'd be forgiven for mistaking Morgal as the work of very old men - but given frantic flight through youthful elan that's enviously advanced for their age. Morgal is a chain-breaking, sword-drawing, spell-invoking experience like no other...and then, as explosively as it began, it's over. Time to press "play" again and DETONATE. Werewolf Records is a Luciferian metal temple founded in 1998. The wolfish cry from the Carelian battlegrounds, Werewolf Records releases black metal and other dark arts motivated exclusively by theistic Satanist views of the founder Werwolf. In this age when black metal's worth is questionable, idealism and rigor are the exception when they should be the highest law. We uphold the law of the Wolf - the destruction of the weak and the false so that the original vitality of the dark magic art can continue to grow and create the foundations for an empire. Black metal is Will and Power. We deal with material that inspires us on our journey towards our own kingdom - a kingdom that is not yours, but bears a resemblance to the one there could be for you. Now in conspiracy with Hells Headbangers, the temple of Werewolf Records shall wage its war farther and wider than ever, with no spiritual surrender. Begin detonation with the new track "Blood of Atazoth" HERE at Werewolf Records' Bandcamp, where both formats of the Morgal's self-titled EP can be preordered. Morgal by MORGAL Less

Following Blasphemy’s temporary dissolution in 1993, the band members went their separate ways and for the most part remained musically silent—with one notable exception. After a year or so of relative inactivity, former Blasphemy vocalist and bassist Ace Gestapo Necrosleezer and Vaginal Commands partnered with Blasphemy drummer 3 Black Hearts of Damnation and Impurity sometime around 1994 or 1995 to work on a new project called Necrosleezer. Contrary to widespread speculation and misinformation, there were never any other band members. The two rehearsed in a barn in the rural area surrounding Vancouver near where 3 Black Hearts was living at the time. Over the next year, the two-piece wrote around 11 songs and entered the legendary Fiasco Bros. Studio in 1995 to record a four-song demo. Upon completion, they dubbed copies of the tape and sent them to labels, but the tape received no serious attention, and the band disintegrated. Very few copies of the demo were released into the scene, and those that exist generally feature degraded audio. Although the demo has long been referred to as Recruit for Conflict, 3 Black Hearts always called the tape Pope Kill, and that alternate name, which is also the name of the opening track on the tape, has been adopted for this first official release. The demo’s historical importance is undeniable—these are the only recordings from this era by any Blasphemy members—but it is equally impressive from a musical point of view. Although similar influences are present, Necrosleezer’s sound reflected a marked departure from the work that Ace Gestapo and 3 Black Hearts did with Blasphemy. Necrosleezer was repetitious and hypnotic, more sinister-sounding and European-influenced than anything Blasphemy did. Bathory is an obvious point of reference, but other influences, such as Norwegian black metal, German thrash, and grind, are all buried just beneath the surface. The songs are largely constructed around the monotonous intensity of 3 Black Hearts’ blastbeats—the snare’s commanding presence dictating the movement of the track. Laid out across the percussive frenzy, Ace Gestapo’s riffs slide and shift into place. The execution is militaristic, but the sound is wretched. Only two of the songs feature guitar leads, and their unhinged nature adds to the feral sound of the demo. The vocals, repugnant and grim, hang above the mix, draped over the low-end matrix of the bass and drums. Even though Necrosleezer recorded the material in a studio, it still sounds like a demo, retaining the primitive nature of the performance. Indeed, the astute listener might even notice someone coughing in the background on one of the tracks. Necrosleezer’s sound on Pope Kill is consistent and coherent, but there is more than enough diversity and nuance in the songwriting to distinguish the tracks and provide depth. The band’s approach is controlled cacophony—unrefined but not imprecise. These four songs provide one of the few glimpses into the work that any of the members of Blasphemy did between the Gods of War album and the band’s return to the stage in the early 2000s. Long in need of a proper release, this version of the Pope Kill/Recruit for Conflict recordings has been remastered and restored as much as possible to its original form by James Plotkin. And while the original tapes the band sent out to labels lacked cover art, this edition features new artwork by Chris Moyen created specifically for this release. The unearthing of these tracks, their restoration, and the new presentation of this demo recording is, therefore, a monumental event.

American rock band Royal Bliss has released a new video for single "Hard and Loud" on VEVO/YouTube today. The video can be seen here: [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="OS_I_Xg_EzI"] The video features Dave Kindig, owner and operator of Kindig-It Design and also star of Bitchin' Rides on the Velocity Network Tuesdays at 9/8c. Dave, who is a fan of the band, let them use his garage and cars for the video. "I have always wanted to do a music video like this - motorcycles , bad ass cars and chicks. It’s my teenage dream come true" says Neal Middleton. Taylor Richards adds, "The video for Hard and Loud is a perfect blend of Hard rock music with Bitchin’ Rides! We were hanging with Dave Kindig and shooting the scenes with muscle cars and motorcycles doing burnouts! Chics rockin’ Out, and fire pits a blazing! This video was definitely Hard and Loud!" The band is currently on a headlining tour with bands Joyous Wolf and Messer. Royal Bliss VIP Experience and tickets are available at http://www.royalbliss.com/tour The band is available for interviews. Please let me know if you would like to attend a show for review, photos or to interview the band. Hailing from Salt Lake City, Utah, Royal Bliss has been making their mark for years with a consistent work ethic of writing, recording, and touring that have helped build the success of the band. Their wide variety of influences from Led Zeppelin to Johnny Cash mold the sound that is uniquely theirs and cannot be denied. Their music speaks to the common man, tells a story and rocks out with a good party crowd, all the while being delivered by the inimitable deep and raspy voice of front man, Neal Middleton. Royal Bliss began as a rock band achieving early success with their music on several rock radio stations. In 2009 their Capitol Records debut Life In-Between charted on the Billboard Top 200 and was #1 in Billboard Heatseekers. In 2012 the independently released Waiting Out The Storm reached #9 on the iTunes Rock Chart and hit #2 in Billboard Heatseekers. In 2014, Chasing The Sun was recorded and released again on their own label, Air Castle Records, with distribution through Universal (INgrooves) Music Group. On the Chasing The Sun album the alternative roots of the band shined on the album’s single "Cry Sister” that climbed the Active Rock chart to (#31) and was Royal Bliss’ 6th Single to crack the top 50 on Active Rock radio. They have toured with acts such as Kid Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Buckcherry, and have grown into seasoned and dynamic live performers with a solid fan base across the country. “We have always done our own thing by singing songs about things that are real and that are happening to us in the current state of the world" Says Middleton.

Although split albums generally exist as two seperate EPs joined together on one format, sometimes essentially being nothing more than throwaway tracks by both bands involved, Ce qui fut, ce qui est, ce qui sera goes a different route and exists as a work breathing unity of aesthetic and focus in flow. Both Malepeste and Dysylumn are French black metal entities, both with unique and yet also unifying traits. Both bands formed in 2010 and each have an album to their respective names, and more importantly, both Malepeste and Dysylumn share a brotherhood of sorts which sees them performing ritualistic collaborations on the live front. Now, within the totality of Ce qui fut, ce qui est, ce qui sera, the full sulfurous splendor of Malepeste and Dysylumn is on display. Brimming with light and shade - and darkness, and darker darkness - serpentine songwriting and vitriolic violence, iron-wrought muscularity and beyond-the-shade atmosphere, Ce qui fut, ce qui est, ce qui sera is an album of dualities, of contrasts skillfully harnessed under the banner of black metal. The overt characteristics of French black metal - the robustness of the orthodox/religious school, and the melancholy of its more lonerist school - are fully represented here, but recast in vivid new iterations.

Eternal Odyssey, the new project featuring brothers Kent (Vocals/Guitars/Bass) and (Iced Earth drummer) Brent Smedley have signed to COMBAT RECORDS/EMP Label Group, who will release their debut album Awakening, March 15, 2019. Formed in Jacksonville, Florida, Eternal Odyssey is a Melodic Hard Rock band crafted from soaring vocals, blistering guitars, thunderous drums, and masterfully crafted song-scapes, by brothers Kent and Brent Smedley, as showcased on Awakening, “the culmination of their collective life and musical experiences”. Says Vocalist/Guitarist Kent Smedley, “When we started talking to the team over at EMP and Combat, we really felt the love. They wanted to work with us, and were really into what we were doing, which, to me, is the most important thing. We’ve spent so much time on this record, and these songs, and it was so important for us to align with people who would get behind it, and really get what we do. We’re excited to partner with Combat and EMP, and finally start this new musical journey with Thom and David at the Helm.” Adds Combat’s Thom Hazaert, “When I first started talking to Brent and Kent, we were really excited, and the guys had put a lot of care and time into this project and these songs, and that really shows in the quality of the product. They are both absolute World-Class musicians, and wonderful guys, and obviously Brent has an incredible history in Iced Earth, and we’re extremely excited to welcome Eternal Odyssey to the COMBAT roster.” While all studio duties were handled by Kent and Brent, the band will recruit World-Class musicians to fill out the touring roster. Says Kent, “This isn’t just a studio project, our intention is for this to be a real band, we plan to tour, and really get it out there. We already have a line on some great guys to fill out the lineup, and we’re excited to not only bring the record to people, but a first-class live experience as well.” COMBAT RECORDS was relaunched in 2017 by David Ellefson and Thom Hazaert, as an imprint of their EMP LABEL GROUP, distributed in North America by AMPED, and in Europe by SPV, which features an updated roster including Marc Rizzo (Soulfly), Hatchet, Sword (CA), Dead By Wednesday, WRATH, Autumn’s End, Helstar, and more.

Originally founded in 1996, Oradea, Romania based Extreme Metallers DECAY underwent some rough times along the way, but finally the band has a new steady formula and is ready to raise hell. Loud Rage Music is proud to announce the start of a collaboration that will lead to DECAY releasing their long-waited debut studio album in 2019. Here’s what the band had to say: “We’re enthusiastic to be joining the Loud Rage Music legion, hence opening a new chapter in Decay’s history and we’re eagerly waiting to show to our fans the first fruits of our collaboration.” Francu Tudor (Decay) Here’s what Loud Rage Music had to say about the collaboration: “When I first heard Decay’s music I was struck by the sheer visceral devastation they are able to produce through their tunes yet still adding some subtle melodic touches where needed. I was especially impressed by how much the vocals reminded me of the first Kataklysm vocalist, Sylvain Houde, one I still consider top notch in Death Metal, so joining our forces with Decay just came naturally and e all hope to take the band a step further.” Adrian (LRM) As a first assault, Decay are set to release their new EP, Brand New Nails, in digital format this October 26th.
