Psychedelic/alt rock band Red Vox have released a surprise new album, entitled Kerosene. While not a proper follow up to Another Light according to guitarist/vocalist Vinny, the album serves as a small transitional album between Another Light and their next "proper" album.
A statement from Vinny on the release of Kerosene:
"This isn't exactly our big follow-up to Another Light. It started as a 5 or 6 song acoustic EP to record after Stranded and ended up getting a lot more involved than that. After growing to 10 songs we realized it was no longer an EP and no longer just acoustic. Most of these songs are brand new but some have been with me since the beginning of Another Light. It's not a happy album, but it all comes from a real place. I hope you enjoy it as we get started recording our proper next album. Thanks for sticking with us. - Vinny"
Listen to Kerosene on the official Red Vox Youtube channel:
The acclaimed indie-rock outfit Sleater-Kinney kicks off the new year by announcing their forthcoming album, produced by none other than Annie Clark of St. Vincent fame.
The news was released through a post on the trio's twitter, next to a picture of the band and Clark posing at the mixing table. A similar tweet followed from St. Vincent shortly after.
Read the tweets here:
The upcoming album follows "No Cities To Love" from 2015, the group's warmly received release after a 10-year long hiatus. Annie Clark has lauded this particular release in interviews and has been an acquaintance of the band for several years.
Relapse Records just uploaded a new single from Devil Master's first upcoming LP, Satan Spits on Children of Light, slated for a March 1st release through Relapse.
The label writes:
"Philadelphia's Devil Master stake their claim as one of the most venomous, twisted entities in the underground with their hellish debut. The album, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Mammoth Grinder) rattles the very gates of hell with a vile dose of black metal-infused punk mayhem.
Commanding the steel of Venom, the fury of Bathory's earliest years, and the raw, uncompromising nature of the notorious Gism, Satan Spits on Children of Light sees Devil Master emerge from the grave and reach new blasphemous heights. Give in to the Satanic panic and obey your Devil Master!"
In what is probably the most unexpected reunion ever, Last Crack have re-emerged, with a new album to be released later this year.
The Madison WI outfit had released two albums of quirky progressive/hard rock in the early '90s, that progressively earned an ever increasing cult following, the magnitude of which led to their reissue from Metal Mind Records in the noughts.
The new record deal was inked with EMP Laber Group, whose head, Thom Hazaert had the following to say:
Growing up in Wisconsin, Last Crack coming out of Madison was such a huge deal. I remember 'Burning Time' coming out, and it was like dynamite. They were really doing something that no one else was doing at the time. All the 'cool' kids loved them. They were always a band that was so ahead of their time, and it's a huge honor to release the follow-up to 'Burning Time', all these years later. Hopefully the world finally caught up.
High on Fire were forced to cancel again a North American leg of their Electric Messiah promotional tour, as Matt Pike has been diagnosed with diabetes. One of his toes was partly amputated last Fall and now, he's in danger of losing another one or worse, a bigger part of his leg.
He gave an official statement regarding his medical condition:
“Dear Friends and fans,
To my brothers, my crew, and anyone else this affects. I do apologize for the inconvenience of this cancellation. I feel as though I’m explaining lightning striking twice. I wanted nothing more in the world to play these songs live, nor ever cancel something I say I’m gonna do.”
“I am a warrior for our art, and have endured some painful things to what we do. The timing and repeating nature of this is my nightmare and almost impossible. Nevertheless, to save yet another toe, my big one, I have been grounded by circumstances out of my control. I will have more of ...more
