UK-based extreme metallers, Anaal Nathrakh, released their new album, The Whole Of The Law, via Metal Blade Records back in October. Today, the two-piece is launching the video for the album track, "We Will Fucking Kill You", which was directed and edited by the Widow Brothers, who interpreted the themes of the song and the cover artwork for the clip. Watch the new video below.
Anaal Nathrakh was created for one purpose - to be the soundtrack for Armageddon, the audial essence of evil, hatred and violence, the true spirit of necro taken to its musical extremes. Since 1999, they have gained a reputation for embodying precisely these things - and now, with their new record, The Whole Of Te Law, Anaal Nathrakh has reached the very height of their twisted powers. Order the album here.

Finnish maniacs Corona Skies have released a video for “The Social Network”, a track from their new album, Fragments Of Reality, out now worldwide through Mighty Music (ex. Japan, via Bickee Music). The new video can be found below.
This six-piece - dubbed the bastard child of Dragonforce and Sonata Arctica - delivers a unique mix of smashing guitar riffs, hyper-skilled keyboard athleticism on rock solid rhythm section, completed with powerful multi-layered vocals. With the current lineup, the band has been around since 2009 and played dozens of shows in Finland.
Since releasing a self-financed EP in 2011, the band’s songwriting and musicianship have evolved into a whole new level which can be heard on the debut album, Fragments Of Reality. From ambient, atmospheric soundscapes to hard-shredding solos and huge orchestrations, the versatility of the album really emphasizes what this band is all about. Although the music itself cannot simply be described in terms of a single genre, some elements from classic hard rock, power metal, progressive metal and thrash metal are definitely there.
Tracklisting:
“Rite Of Passage”
“Big Boys’ Blues”
“The Social Network”
“Falling Sky”
“Delirium Disco”
“Business Suits You”
“Summer Bum”
“The Sea Of My Mediocrity”

Hanging Garden's new music video for “Towards The Sun” is streaming below. The track features Mikko Kotamäki (Swallow The Sun) on guest vocals and is taken from the band's Hereafter EP.
“Today is independent Finland's 99th birthday. The attitudes and the general mood of public discourse is in a sad state, riddled with hate and xenophobia. Finland, as we wish you a brighter tomorrow, this song is dubbed “Towards The Sun”.”
Hanging Garden’s Hereafter EP is now available on CD digipak and digital via Lifeforce Records. A music video for the title track can be found below.
Tracklisting:
“Penumbra” feat. Mikko Kotamäki (Swallow The Sun)
“Sirkle Of Onan” feat. Victor Wegeborn (The Moth Gatherer)

Not one to shy away from any political or social cause that he wholeheartedly believes in, legendary rocker Dee Snider is now showing his support for the thousands of men and women at the Standing Rock Indian reservation in North Dakota who are protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline. In a video for "So What" that premiered earlier today, Dee and son/director Cody Snider beautifully exhibit the faces of the courageous men, women and children that are fighting for their land and offers a glimpse at the resistance and tribulation they are faced with as they stand their ground. The song can be found on Dee's new solo album, "We Are The Ones", which was released October 28 on Red River Records (distributed by BFD/RED). As Snider recently told the New York Post's Page Six: "To see U.S. government state and local authorities, along with hired private security, use this type of extreme violent force against unarmed American citizens in peaceful prayer is the saddest, most disturbing thing I have ever experienced. I'm glad we were there to capture the truth for all to see."
Produced by Damon Ranger, "We Are The Ones" is described by Dee as "an album that is think part FOO FIGHTERS, part IMAGINE DRAGONS, part THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS." He added: "Forget anything from the past. Most of my heavy metal fans are gonna hate it; I've abandoned my past to move forward."
Regarding the decision to make a contemporary rock record, Dee told Salon: "[Damon is] the one who approached me and said, 'Dee, I think there's an album for you, a contemporary album, a mainstream rock record, a metal-rock record that will speak to people today…' I said, 'Really. Me. This guy? A 61-year-old guy.' He says, 'Absolutely, Dee. You're timeless. And you represent something, a spirit, and I think the right songs…" And I heard his stuff that he's worked on before and I said, 'There are songs out there that are inspirational.' You see that sometimes they just get lost, and one of the things that gets lost is the fun of rock and roll. Don't forget, rock and roll, first and foremost, it's supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be [an] escape. It shouldn't be super-heavy. At the same time, as 'Louder Than Words' is showing, it can be inspirational."
Beast Incarnate is the impending new long player from Malta-based brutal death metal merchants Beheaded.
Set for release next month via Unique Leader, the infernal, eight-track production draws upon the brutal and melodic approach to the band's 2012-issued, critically-championed Never To Dawn long player. Recorded at MKII Recording Studio (Italy) and mixed and mastered by Ronnie Björnström (Teadeat, Bone Gnawer, Aeon, Those Who Bring The Torture) at Enhanced Audio Productions Sweden, Beast Incarnate comes shrouded in the cover art of Gabriel Alegria Sabogal, welcomes the addition of new recruits -- drummer Davide Billia and guitarist Simone Brigo - and truly stretches the boundaries of Beheaded's signature sound to meet new extremes.
As a precursor to its release, Beheaded's is streaming the visual companion to the record's title track, the band issuing of the clip, "When music is enriched with literature, imagery, colors, and visuals that reflect its essence, it is able to deliver a deeper, more profound immersive visual and aural experience. That is precisely what the video for the album title track 'Beast Incarnate' does. Using all these elements we have worked very closely with Very Metal Art in graphically creating and capturing the character and lifeblood of Beast Incarnate. The music video comes to outline the attributes of Mediterranean death metal - hard hitting and drilling in the psyche. Musically drawing upon the very roots of the band's earliest material and molded from a quarter of a century since Beheaded's inception. Beast Incarnate cements twenty-five years of extreme music with an imprint of the band's present signature sound."
Beheaded's Beast Incarnate will be released on January 27th, 2017 via Unique Leader Records.
Beast Incarnate tracklisting:
"Beast Incarnate"
"The Horror Breathes"
"Crossing The House Of Knives"
"Reign Of The Headless King"
"The Black Death"
"Cursed Mediterranean"
"Fid-dlam ta' dejjem"
"Punishment Of The Grave"

Seeker have released a video for “Submit”, a track from their new album, Loss, out now via Victory Records. The new clip can be found below.
Clocking in at 25 minutes, Loss was recorded by Zach Ohren, known for his work with Chelsea Grin and Fallujah, and the artwork comes in the form of a hand drawn, custom piece by Farron Loathing (Nails, Huntress).
Bay Area rock outfit, Black Map, have debuted a video for their new single, “Run Rabbit Run”, from their new album, coming out next year.
"We filmed this video in the SF Armory which is one of the coolest, weirdest, and most interesting structures in the entire city," says frontman Ben Flannagan. "Every room you walk into tells a different story and there is literally a creek running through building."
Directed by Anthony Garay, this is the first visual interpretation of a song we've seen from the band since their video for "I'm Just The Driver" from their last LP.
"Aside from filming in an iconic location, we knew it was time for a video that really showcased the energy of the song and our live performances. We are very happy with how it came out."
The new track is available on all major streaming services and will be offered as an iTunes instant gratification track. Fans who pre-order the album today will get "Run Rabbit Run" immediately as a download.
Black Map will release In Droves on March 10th via Entertainment One (eOne) in North America and SPV overseas. The band only wrapped up production on the effort last month with Aaron Hellam at Oakland’s Hellam Sound (The Trophy Fire) and created an ambitious but no less intense sophomore set, a boundary smashing, down-tuned heavy rock slab.
After a successful run with Chevelle this year, the band will be heading back out on the road at the top of 2017 for another round. A full list of dates hitting much of the western half of the US can be seen here.
Black Map creates music driven by the pulse of their early genesis as a trio who packed itself into a rehearsal room with pure intentions, a 12-pack and a boundary-smashing lack of prohibitions or rules. Their commitment is to each other, to what feels right; to meditation on big riffs that lurch and churn, dripping with atmosphere, powering bold and evocative statements.
The band is the union of three established Northern California rock musicians, driven by a shared dedication to big riffs, big drums and powerful, straight-ahead, all enveloping rock n’ roll. Black Map consists of the versatile voice and walloping bass groove of Ben Flanagan (Trophy Fire), the wall-of-sound big riff histrionics of guitarist Mark Engles (dredg) and the unstoppable driving force and tasteful skill of drummer Chris Robyn (Far).
A few songs became a few shows and an EP which begat a debut album, …And We Explode (2014), which featured the buzzy single, “I’m Just The Driver”. The metaphorical “black map” of the band’s steadily building catalog and dedicated following led them to secure live performance spots alongside the mighty Chevelle, multi platinum rockers Bush, Circa Survive, and Highly Suspect in addition to multiple club shows as a headlining act.
Songs like “Run Rabbit Run”, “Foxglove”, “No Color” and “White Fence” are united in a lyrical exhortation toward staunch individuality in the face of soul-crushing conformity. These are songs that challenge listeners to focus on what makes them unique as people, to shake off the gloomy dystopian results of mass groupthink, to actualize and harness one’s own humanity.
As they continue forward, ever united in that original pureness of intentionality, Black Map covers bigger ground. Bursts of ambience and mellow contemplation compliment the broadly shaped melodic noise. Unafraid experimentation gives way to a strong dichotomy, to new elements, all within that original structure of Black Map’s monster riffing.
Sonic treasure hunters who study Black Map will find themselves transported to the spirit of the early 90s rock resurgence, when bands jettisoned the superficial fluff of the previous decade without wandering too far into dense pretension and delivered authentic and heavy music. Black Map combine flourishes of beauty alongside the bombast and a modern sensibility that nevertheless will not sacrifice its raw realness.
METAL CHURCH's video for the song "Needle And Suture" can be seen below. The clip was directed by Jamie Brown of Smokin' Gun Video Productions.
"Needle And Suture" is taken from METAL CHURCH's latest album, "XI", which debuted at No. 57 on The Billboard 200, having shifted 11,000 equivalent album units in the week ending March 31.
"XI", was released on March 25 via Rat Pak Records. Produced by Kurdt Vanderhoof and co-produced by Chris "The Wizard" Collier, the band's eleventh studio release also marks the return of legendary vocalist and frontman Mike Howe.
The reunion between Mike and METAL CHURCH was put in motion in July of 2014 when Mike started working with Kurdt Vanderhoof on a side project he was forming with Nigel Glockler from SAXON. Through these initial conversations, Kurdt convinced Mike to ultimately return to METAL CHURCH. The idea was to see if they could recapture some of the magic from the three albums METAL CHURCH released in the late '80s: "The Human Factor", "Blessing In Disguise" and "Hanging In The Balance". Out of those sessions, "XI" was born and captures the sound that made the band fan-favorites in the '80's and mixes it with a new, invigorated sound for 2016. Said Mike: "Kurdt Vanderhoof got ahold of me in August of 2014, and he proposed [me] coming back to the band. He said Ronny [Munroe] left the band and he didn't really wanna carry on with METAL CHURCH unless maybe I would consider coming back. So I said, 'Well, I don't know. I'm open to it. But let's see what kind of music we can come up with.' So Kurdt went back to the studio and started writing songs in the vein of 'Hanging In The Balance', where we left off twenty years ago, and he sent them to me over the Internet. And I was, like, 'Damn! The guy still has it and he's doing great work.' So he sent me another batch, and that batch was just as good [as], if not better than, the other. So, from there, I said, ‘Well, I can’t say no to this. And let's just see how it goes.' And we started writing lyrics and getting together, and it's morphed into being back in Aberdeen in the studio making the new METAL CHURCH record."
Seattle-based heavy metal icons QUEENSRŸCHE have released a music video for their song "Hellfire", which spotlights the Malaysian passenger flight crisis in 2014.
Speaking about the influence and subject matter for the clip, QUEENSRŸCHE vocalist Todd La Torre said: "'Hellfire' is a depiction primarily based on the tragic events surrounding the Malaysian airline flight MH17. Despite the storyline's foundation, the lyrical and visual narrative transcends into other pertinent, global subject matters. Civil unrest, guerrilla warfare, media propaganda, and social inequalities are just some examples of the multifaceted issues marbled throughout 'Hellfire'. A poignant illustration of an unfortunate yet timeless reality."
"Hellfire" is taken from QUEENSRŸCHE's latest album, "Condition Hüman", which debuted at No. 27 on The Billboard 200 chart, having shifted 14,000 equivalent album units in the week ending October 8, 2015.
The band plans to enter the studio in January to write and record the follow-up to "Condition Hüman" for a late 2017 release.
In a recent interview with the "Moshpit" show, La Torre stated about what it has been like writing and recording with QUEENSRŸCHE since he took over as lead vocalist in 2012: "It's been a wonderful experience. We're touring constantly throughout the year, and so we're like a family. We're great friends. The writing experience happens on the road, it happens when we go home…we all have our unique writing experiences with each other. I'll write something with just Parker [Lundgren, guitar] or I'll write something with just Michael [Wilton, guitar], or Michael and Eddie [Jackson, bass] will work on something, or Scott [Rockenfield, drums] will work on something on his own and throw it over to me. There's a lot of different configurations in how the writing goes, but it's a lot of fun. It's a great experience."
QUEENSRŸCHE recently embarked on a month-long headlining tour of the United States. Support on the trek is coming from ARMORED SAINT and MIDNIGHT ETERNAL.

The album is now joined by an array of rare tracks, B-sides, and more, including never-before-heard versions of "Through Glass", "Zzyzx Rd." and "Cardiff", as well as an electrifying acoustic cover of THE ROLLING STONES' "Wild Horses". STONE SOUR unleashed their eponymous debut album in 2002 and was immediately confirmed as one of the most popular and significant hard rock outfits of the 21st century. "Stone Sour" earned RIAA gold certification while singles "Get Inside" and "Inhale" each received Grammy Award nominations for "Best Metal Performance." "Come What(ever) May" followed in 2006 and proved an even greater accomplishment with a top 5 debut on The Billboard 200 and a #1 entry onto Billboard's "Rock Albums" chart.

STONE SOUR has written and demoed eighteen songs for its sixth studio album, with plans to hit the studio in January for a likely mid-2017 release.
If there's one band that can make claims about having an established awareness in their home country before coming to the United States and actually back it up with heaps of evidence, Evenline is that band. In addition to performing and touring overseas with the likes of Alter Bridge and Seether, the hard rocking four-piece's albums have been lauded by reputable European publications and HAVE seen rotation on major French radio stations Oui FM and RTL2.
With this prior success pushing them forward, Evenline is setting their signs on America with the international release of their upcoming full-length album of adrenaline-pumping anthems, In Tenebris. The album will drop in North America on January 13th via Dooweet Agency USA, with international distribution from Sony Music France beginning January 20th. Pre-orders are available now via iTunes. The band’s music video for their single "Straitjacket" can be found below.
In Tenebris was produced by Jean-Francois Di Rienzo at The Office/The Artist studio in Paris, France, and calls upon a darker side of the band's personality. The album hits hard with catchy choruses, earworm riffs and driving rhythms that will have listeners headbanging and chanting along in no time.
Vocalist Arnaud Gueziec states, "Over time, we wanted to unveil another musical and artistic approach. Darker and deeper than our first album, In Tenebris contains lyrics that reflect that darkness, dealing with affective aspects of daily relationships and our own imaginary world we've developed with each album. "Straitjacket" is our first music video from this album and the track perfectly creates a bridge between our previous album and In Tenebris. This particular song talks about people's duality and choices they have to do day after day, and how each choice can change your whole life."
Gueziec continues to explain that the filming of "Straitjacket" wasn't too easy, "The video was shot in a psychiatric hospital, and we had very little time to make it happen because we had no authorization to shoot there! At first, we wanted to shoot scenes during the day and night for contrast, but we had to escape from the police in the middle of the afternoon!"
In Tenebris tracklisting:
“All Against Me”
“Straitjacket”
“Silene Capensis”
“Echoes Of Silence”
“Sometimes We Die”
“Broken Promises”
“Never There”
“Deeper Underground”

Def Leppard have released an official music video for “We Belong”. The video will be featured on the bands upcoming live DVD+CD, And There Will Be A Next Time - Live From Detroit, as a bonus.
Def Leppard excited and thrilled fans nationwide with their massive 55+ city summer 2016 North American tour. Def Leppard will now share their masterful performance on DVD and Blu-ray. On February 10th, Eagle Rock Entertainment will release their epic concert film, And There Will Be A Next Time - Live From Detroit, on DVD+2CD, Blu-ray+2CD, and Digital Video.
With two prestigious Diamond Awards to their credit, Def Leppard continues to stand tall in the music industry and deliver some of the most iconic rock melodies and memorable anthems of all time. Most recently, their 2015 self-titled album featured singles “Dangerous” and “Let’s Go” which hit #1 on the Billboard Top Rock Albums Chart.
Filmed at the DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, MI, And There Will Be A Next Time - Live From Detroit is an incredible showcase that captures the electrifying energy and power of Def Leppard live today. As the sun began to set over a frenzied Detroit crowd, Def Leppard’s legendary hooks and anthemic rock served up an audiovisual feast second to none. The audience were served hit after hit with fan favourites from across their iconic career.
Said front man Joe Elliott: “I had this idea that we should film one of the shows from the 2016 tour because apart from the ‘Viva Hysteria’ shows, we hadn’t actually had a live performance filmed since 1988. With a new album out that was being so well received, it was just a case of where to do it. From the second the house lights went down, we could see the sun setting from the stage, and the energy from the crowd just seemed to intensify. It was a good choice and a great way to document Def Leppard in 2016.”
As a bonus, the DVD set will include the official music videos for “Let’s Go”, “Dangerous”, and “Man Enough”, and the lyric video for “Let’s Go”.
In anticipation of the DVD release, Def Leppard and Eagle Rock Entertainment recently launched a special PledgeMusic pre-order. Fans who participate will gain early access to a few select tracks, including “Dangerous” and “Rock On” as well as exclusive merchandise from PledgeMusic.

British heavy metal vocalist Blaze Bayley (IRON MAIDEN, WOLFSBANE) has released a brand new Christmas song.
"Crazy Christmas" was written and recorded during spring/summer this year and is available now via digital platforms including iTunes and Amazon MP3.
A light-hearted and fun music video has also been released today to help promote the song.
Blaze co-wrote "Crazy Christmas" with singer/songwriter Michelle Sciarrotta, who also performs under the name Fall Girl, and Chris Appleton, who is lead guitarist in Blaze's own recording and touring band and is also singer/guitarist in British metal band ABSOLVA.
Bayley's career spans in excess of thirty years, starting as singer in WOLFSBANE before catapulting to worldwide fame in IRON MAIDEN during 1994 to 1999. After leaving IRON MAIDEN, he has pursued a successful solo career with particular progress with the release of a new album earlier this year titled "Infinite Entanglement", which is the first in a trilogy of albums with a sci-fi concept. The second instalment in the trilogy is set for release in March 2017 together with plans for a world tour. Full details of that are expected to be revealed within the next seven to ten days.
Canada’s Unleash The Archers have been on the road since their inception in 2007. Since then they have created an immensely loyal North American fan base.
With a fresh sound, precise songwriting and the incredible feeling for heaviness and melodies, this power quintet with singer Brittney Slayes are now ready to take the rest of the world.
Their new studio album, Time Stands Still, is fast-paced and wildly entertaining; the combination of power vocals, death screams, tasty guitar licks and complex drumming provide a little something for everyone. Time Stands Still is kick ass heavy metal with fist-pumping anthemic melodies you can’t help but sing along to.
Check out the new video for “Time Stands Still” below:
Japan's rising heavy-rock band CRYSTAL LAKE will release its new album, "True North", on Friday, December 2 via Artery Recordings. In anticipation, the band has debuted a video for its brand new song "Black And Blue". "Black And Blue" features guest vocals by Jesse McFaddin from fellow Japanese rock bands RIZE and THE BONEZ, and blends an eclectic mix of influences for a unique signature sound. "Based on our metal/hardcore music style, we used beat of funk/soul into heavy music and tried to write something new," says CRYSTAL LAKE guitarist YD. "We aim to emphasize the contrast of stillness and motion with bouncy riffs and beat and emotional melodies are. I am happy how this song turned out after trying hard to comprehend elements of the music I was influenced." "'No pain no gain' might be used for an idiom to explain how hard you must train to build your body for macho men but this song ain't about 'get up song for tough guys' at all," adds vocalist Ryo. "What I wanted to say was that blood, sweat and tears with 'pain' can be beautiful pieces of art. I really appreciate if you can feel the evanescence and beauty that created from the 'pain' that anyone, everyone has." The video for the song was directed by Kei Ikeda, who helped the band craft a cathartic and emotional trip that takes viewers from Japan to the U.S. with an explosive rooftop performance. "This music video is about letting the world know what we've felt growing up in our country, Japan and the music we have created," says YD. "We did shooting in two different cities, Tokyo and New York to make a film that proves there's no boundaries when it comes to creating music and art. The song has the subtle and profound atmosphere so we looked to express it with the lighting effect."
