MARYANN COTTON Releases New Single "Danger Us"; Audio Streaming

Danish / American singer, Maryann Cotton, has released the new single, "Danger Us". Listen here, and/or below:





Maryann recently announced that he has parted ways with his band. A message follows:




''I’m going to make this short, but I’ve decided to break up with the band, mainly due to lack of enthusiasm. I will continue as a solo artist as the former lineup will no longer be part of the band.


"Although my bassist Hal Patino has some major things coming up but will (at least) still be involved in songwriting. I haven’t seen or talked to the rest of the guys in over a year since February 2020.


"I’m sorry it’s been so long since you have heard any new music, but I promise the wait is over and brand new songs are coming very soon. I have an all American crew and whole new organization and team behind me. I’ve been working tirelessly, and I’m so excited for you to hear all my new music.


"Have faith, I love you all and I’ll see you on tour before you know it."

IMPACT APPROVED Drop "Voidgazer" Lyric Video

IMPACT APPROVED Drop "Voidgazer" Lyric Video

The lyric video for "Voidgazer", a track from Impact Approved's new album Into The Fray, out now via Wormholedeath, can be seen below.


"Uwe (Reese, drummer) composed 'Voidgazer' in December 2018 / January 2019. Back then, Uwe named the song 'Lonely Wolf' as a project title. Philipp (Kock, vocalist) was inspired to write lyrics in connection to this project title, so the general lyrical concept of 'Lonely Wolf' / 'Voidgazer' was hugely inspired by the epic Liam Neeson movie, The Grey.


But somehow, 'Voidgazer' sounded a bit cooler than 'Lonely Wolf' and the lyrical concept evolved into an even more philosophical perspective (but still originating from the deep message of The Grey) about unpleasant truths regarding the meaning of life and that you're supposed to never give up, no matter how bleak and desperate a situation might be. Try to stay strong. Always. And surround yourselves with people who want the best for you. Peace!" - Impact Approved







Into The Fray artwork and tracklisting:






"Flame Of Madness"
"Golden Age"
"Last Good Fight"
"Bodybag"
"Final Stand"
"Non Serviam"
"Voidgazer"
"Divide Et Impera"
"Maker's Hand"

Three times over, Behemoth invoked musical demons from the past as they explored the depths of their discography. The event was directed by Dariusz Szermanowicz (G13 Production House).

LORD OF THE LOST Release Trve Western Version Of "Viva Vendetta"; Music Video

LORD OF THE LOST Release Trve Western Version Of "Viva Vendetta"; Music Video

Shortly after the release of their most successful album to date, Judas (#2 in the German album charts), Lord Of The Lost deliver their next highlight with the BluRay/DVD/CD release of their almost two-hour Sinister Summer livestreaming concert under the name The Sacrament Of Judas, on December 10. Now, the Hamburg based band has yet another highlight to offer - the Trve Western Version of "Viva Vendetta".


Backed by the most elaborately produced music video in the band's history so far, Lord Of The Lost go one better and release "Viva Vendetta" as an authentic soundtrack to the completely Western-style video. A musical recreation of the famous Ennio Morricone soundtrack style, the band creates an unmistakably honest western flick that couldn't have hit the mark more precisely, proving that they are quite capable of venturing into new territories without losing their personal trademarks.


Chris Harms on the new version: "As we are confronted with more and more hate on the internet that comes with our increasing success, we see more often that we are ‘too dark’ for the rock scene, ‘too colorful’ for the gothic scene and ‘not hard enough’ for the metal scene. We’re told we look way ‘too gay’ and are ‘not true', whatever that means. We love to dance between the chairs, and will never voluntarily sit in just one of them, ergo that's perfectly fine for us. As is so often the case, things get rolling for us spontaneously through crazy ideas. During an extremely entertaining discussion about the dusty meaning of 'trueness', we realized that there is nothing 'truer' for a western video than an authentic-sounding western soundtrack variant of the song. And so, we spared no expense or effort, and with extreme attention to detail, created the Trve Western Version of 'Viva Vendetta'."







The Sacrament Of Judas will be available on December 10 in a limited edition format exclusively via Napalm Records Mailorder, as well as the band’s store as a digipack including BluRay, DVD and 2 CDs.





Pre-order here.





The Sacrament Of Judas tracklisting:


"Priest"
"For They Know Not What They Do"

"Immortal" continues the tradition of the previous two MICHAEL SCHENKER FEST records "Resurrection" and "Revelation" and features a big list of friends and guests. The album's main vocalist is the Chilean-born talent Ronnie Romero (RAINBOW), along with Michael Voss (MAD MAX), Scheepers and Joe Lynn Turner (ex-DEEP PURPLE, RAINBOW) singing on two tracks each. Besides Michael Schenker himself, the album was recorded with Steve Mann (keyboards), Barry Sparks (bass, DOKKEN), as well as the three drummers, Bodo Schopf, Simon Philipps (ex-TOTO) and Brian Tichy (ex-WHITESNAKE). The latest addition to the record was keyboard player Derek Sherinian (BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION, SONS OF APOLLO, DREAM THEATER), who plays on the album's opening track, featuring German power machine Ralf Scheepers on vocals.

In a recent interview with Dead Rhetoric, Schenker stated about Romero: "He can sing like anybody, and that's why I think Ritchie Blackmore wanted him [for RAINBOW]. He can sing like Joe Lynn Turner, Graham Bonnet, Ronnie James Dio. [Romero] will be the right person for me [for the 50th-anniversary tour]. Ronnie will be the main singer, to be the perfect person for the 50th anniversary of Michael Schenker live."

SAXON Announces 'Carpe Diem' Album, Releases First Single

SAXON Announces 'Carpe Diem' Album, Releases First Single

British heavy metal legends SAXON will release their 23rd studio album, "Carpe Diem", on February 4, 2022 via Silver Lining Music. Comprised of 10 titanic tracks bristling with seel-clad riffery and pround intent, the Barnsely, U.K.-born band draw on a variety of integredients from the career to forget what is their most dynamic release in many a year.

"It all starts with the riff," says frontman and co-founder Biff Byford. "If the riff speaks to me, then we're on our way. It's a very intense album, and that's all down to the fact that the essence of a great metal song is the riff that starts it, and this album has loads of them."

Unleashing today the title track's roll-back attack, this is SAXON at their purest and most definitive; aggressively parading the pure metal flag and imploring fans old and new to gather and celebrate the very best of both SAXON and the genre itself.

"In Latin, it means 'seize the day' and I think it's a great thing to say," continues Biff. "It's what the Romans used to say to each other on a regular basis, apparently. Never having met one, I wouldn't know. But we're gonna do the 'Seize The Day' world tour, the album's 'Carpe Diem', this song's called 'Carpe Diem (Seize The Day)', and it's such a powerful thing to say."

Produced by Andy Sneap (JUDAS PRIEST, EXODUS, ACCEPT) at Backstage Recording Studios in Derbyshire with Byford and Sneap mixing and mastering, "Carpe Diem" strikes the ear as one of the most essential British metal statements of the last few years and not lacking in pace or bite, an album which will ignite the joy in stalwart supporters and attract a whole new legion to the SAXON fold.

"We want every album we make to go platinum," says Biff defiantly. "We never make an album that we don't expect to be fantastic because there are no laurels around here, and as a band, we're always trying to do something a little bit new, a little bit daring. I love fast metal like 'Princess Of The Night' and '20,000 Feet', and I try and bring that style of SAXON into the music now, but in a more modern style. We don't sound like an old band on records because we're not sitting back on our past success, we're always trying to make a great album."

The genesis of "Carpe Diem"'s fierce intensity lies in two extremely significant life events.

"It's been a difficult two years," offers Biff with considerable understatement, "because I had the heart attack back in September 2019, so things went a bit pear-shaped for the band. And then COVID hit two or three months later, but luckily, we started writing and recording this album before COVID. We did the drums in Germany and we did the guitars in various places. I was doing a lot of writing while I was in the hospital bed, and we spent quite a long time writing and arranging the ideas that we all had. I do think it's a very intense album, and maybe some of that intensity comes from the frustration of not being able to do anything in the COVID period."

"Carpe Diem" track listing:

01. Carpe Diem (Seize The Day)

02. Age Of Steam

03. The Pilgrimage

04. Dambusters

05. Remember The Fallen

06. Super Nova

07. Lady In Gray

08. All For One

09. Black Is The Night

10. Living On The Limit

Produced by Andy Sneap and Biff Byford

Album mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap

Guitars recorded by Andy Sneap at Backstage Recording Studios, Derbyshire (U.K.); vocals recorded by Seb Byford at Big Silver Barn, York (U.K.); drums recorded by Jacky Lehmann (Audiosound) at Velbyproductions, Grünenplan (Germany).

TIM 'RIPPER' OWENS Says Heavy Metal Is 'Doing Great' At The Moment: 'I Make A Living Touring'

TIM 'RIPPER' OWENS Says Heavy Metal Is 'Doing Great' At The Moment: 'I Make A Living Touring'

In a new interview with the "Rock Of Nations With Dave Kinchen" podcast, Tim "Ripper" Owens discussed the state of heavy metal at the moment and how it compares to the way it was during his time with JUDAS PRIEST. He stated: "I've said it, and, obviously, Blabbermouth has ran with it — probably five or six times — but I've said I joined JUDAS PRIEST in one of the worst times of heavy metal ever. '96, '97 — my time in JUDAS PRIEST, it wasn't good… It was a horrible time — nobody was playing big shows. But since the early 2000s on, it's been way better. I make a living touring. Whether it's small venues or not, I make a living playing heavy metal all over the world. And yeah, it's great. We don't have to be on [the top of the charts]. We do have bands that still help — DISTURBED will get a song [played on the radio]. Any band that has a classic edge to it and ends up on the radio, I still love it. But we don't have to be. We stay right here, man. We just float along. And metal's doing great."

Owens joined PRIEST in 1996 and recorded two studio albums with the band — 1997's "Jugulator" and 2001's "Demolition" — before PRIEST reunited with Rob Halford in 2003.

Three months ago, Owens told the "Iron City Rocks" podcast about Halford's return to PRIEST: "I knew it was coming. And I understood why. Rob needed JUDAS PRIEST, and JUDAS PRIEST needed Rob. And I understood that. I would never quit JUDAS PRIEST, so they fired me. And I wanted to do other things as well. That's why I recorded that ICED EARTH record. I kind of started wanting to do some other things. 'Cause we have a lot of downtime. I just felt like it.

"JUDAS PRIEST was just so much fun, and the guys were such great friends, and it was such a great time," he continued. "I didn't burn any bridges. I left and I don't talk bad about 'em. Other than me saying that they've erased my time. I mean, [the albums I made during] my era of JUDAS PRIEST [are not available]. But on a personal level, the guys are friends, the management, Rob — everybody. We all get along. I knew it was gonna happen. And it was always something that was there."

Owens is currently in a new band called KK'S PRIEST with ex-JUDAS PRIEST guitarist K.K. Downing, along with guitarist A.J. Mills (HOSTILE), bassist Tony Newton (VOODOO SIX) and drummer Sean Elg (DEATHRIDERS, CAGE).

KK'S PRIEST's debut album, "Sermons Of The Sinner", was released on October 1 via Explorer1 Music Group/EX1 Records

LEAVES

LEAVES' EYES Release of the highly anticipated “The Last Viking – Midsummer Edition” & video clip “Black Butterfly”

After the 2020 monumental work "The Last Viking" by LEAVES' EYES, in 2021 we focus our attention specifically on the documentary "VIKING SPIRIT", which is now released exclusively in a bundle with the album, the instrumentals and the soundtrack to the documentary on Blu-Ray!

LEAVES’ EYES singer Alexander Krull is a real force in Viking reenactment and does important pioneering work with his documentary about the Viking scene, which is becoming more and more popular and about his life as a sword fighter.

In an over 100 minutes long documentary (incl. a new bonus chapter „Viking Weapons“) you will learn everything about the focus and the diversity of Viking lifestyle. With subtitles in German, English, French and Spanish, all Vikings, and those who want to become one, can experience for themselves how incredibly international the scene is nowadays!
Filmed worldwide, the growing Viking re-enactment scene will be visually praised here. Fronter Alex and the band became part of this community, long ago. With this film, historical facts merge with Nordic mythology, Viking-lifestyle and the sounds of LEAVES’ EYES, featuring friends and companions of the Viking scene.

The documentary shows with a surprising ease the diversity of Viking reenactment and gives you the desire to plunge into this hobby yourself!

All the 14 instrumental tracks individually impress with their unique build-up, rhythm and atmosphere. Mighty drums, Mediaeval instruments like nyckelharpa and fiddle and Celtic horns add spice to the diversified sound. The mystic elegy “Two Kings One Realm” surprises with yet unheard facets. The new versions of the immediately sold out EP “Night Of The Ravens“, “Serkland“ und “Black Butterfly“ make these tracks an all new adventure.

With “The Last Viking” LEAVES’ EYES set up their own musical monument that is just as captivating and strong as the saga of the last Viking King itself. To make this release day even more epic, LEAVES’ EYES also releasing a new video to „Black Butterfly“.
