Dutch blackened death metal band, Onheil, is returning to its black metal roots to kick off its 25th anniversary year. The band is releasing a digitally remastered version of the demo track, “My Evil Side”, originally featured on their long-sold-out 1999 demo Sterf. With its raw and primitive sound, this track offers a glimpse into Onheil’s early years. Current fans and supporters can now experience this piece of history thanks to the re-release by Sweden’s Black Lion Records.
The re-release is accompanied by a music video composed largely of footage from Onheil's first three years, when some band members were still in their teenage years. The video centers on their second live show and features shots from an unfinished music video, along with dark, ritualistic black metal imagery.
The “My Evil Side” single and music video mark the beginning of Onheil’s celebratory “25 Years of Onheil” campaign. This anniversary year promises to offer fans, known as The Omega Legions, a deeper insight into the band’s history. More unreleased and rare music, photos, and videos from their journey will be shared through their social media channels, and fans are encouraged to stay connected for the latest updates.
Onheil will also perform live shows and do tours during the anniversary, including special old-school sets featuring tracks exclusively from their demos and their debut album, Razor.
After overcoming lineup changes and Covid setbacks, Onheil made a return in June 2023 with their album In Black Ashes, releas
Legendary hard rock singer Joe Lynn Turner has teamed up with one of the most successful female vocal performers on the contemporary Bulgarian music scene, Maria Ilieva, for a new single, "Forever".
The official music video for the English-language version of the track can be seen below.
The 73-year-old musician, best known for fronting Ritchie Blackmore's RAINBOW during that band's creative peak in the 1980s and later as the frontman for Yngwie Malmsteen, shared the news of the collaboration in a social media post on October 13. He wrote: "Hi Everybody, I am excited and proud to announce my collaboration with the amazing Bulgarian vocalist and True Superstar Maria Ilieva!
"I have admired Maria's talents for a very long time and hoped that one day we would work together and finally that day is here!
"We share vocals on a strong and sensitive song entitled 'Forever'. A beautiful video will accompany the performance that compliments the message perfectly.
"I could not have chosen a better partner to spread love and unity in a world that sorely needs it now more than ever!"
Turner was reportedly responsible for the music and the arrangement of "Forever" as well as for the English lyrics, while the Bulgarian lyrics were written by Ilieva. The song was initially recorded with Bulgarian text.
More than two years ago, Joe dropped the hairpiece he had worn since the age of 14 after being diagnosed with alopecia at three years old.
The former RAINBOW and DEEP PURPLE singer went public with his new look in August 2022 in a series publicity images released to promote his latest solo album, "Belly Of The Beast". In a press release for the LP, Joe said that he started wearing the wig to deal with "emotional and psychological damage from cruel bullying in school."
Joe was the singer of RAINBOW between 1980 and 1984 and he sang on the album "Difficult To Cure", which featured the band's most successful U.K. single, "I Surrender".
During Turner's time with RAINBOW, the band had its first USA chart success and recorded songs that helped define the melodic rock genre.
1990 saw Turner reunited with RAINBOW leader Ritchie Blackmore in a reformed DEEP PURPLE for the "Slaves And Masters" album.
Legendary rock band TESLA has unveiled the music video for the acoustic version of its latest single, "All About Love". The track is taken from TESLA's new six-song EP, "All About Love", which includes four versions of "All About Love" (acoustic, electric, hybrid, live); a live version of "Walk Away", a concert favorite from "Reel To Real, Vol. 1"; and another new song, "From The Heart", an instrumental track by guitarist Frank Hannon.
Music lovers will state that a great "song" will sound great played in any of these formats, so TESLA's Brian Wheat and Frank Hannon have teamed up to produce this 12-inch vinyl EP showcasing these different versions of "All About Love".
Captured by Wheat in his upstate New York recording studio, there is an electric version that shows how the band performs the song in full force, as well as two stripped down acoustic versions that showcase the dynamics of his mixes. Thus, Jeff Keith's heartfelt lyrics about sharing love can be felt, and to honor TESLA's tradition of adding an acoustic instrumental to their love ballads, Hannon recorded here a new classically influenced acoustic guitar solo piece titled "From The Heart" that is a nod to TESLA's 1987 hit "Love Song".
Furthermore, to present the "live in concert" element of TESLA, a rendition of "All About Love" segues into James Gang's classic song "Walk Away", both of which were recorded live at a Las Vegas concert earlier this year. They are included here as bonus tracks.
"All About Love" EP track listing:
01. All About Love (Electric Mix)
02. From The Heart
03. All About Love (Acoustic Mix)
04. All About Love (Live)
05. Walk Away (Live)
06. All About Love (Hybrid Mix)
Wheat said in a statement: "We spent six months on 'All About Love', and I think we got this one right. Honestly, I'm really, really proud of it. It's what I think a TESLA fan would expect from TESLA — right down the middle. Jeff sounds great. Frank's doing classic guitar licks again."
During an October 7 appearance on SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk", Wheat said that TESLA has been performing "All About Love" for "probably four or five months, actually, which is kind of reverse to what we used to do in the old days. In the old days, we used to record the song and then go play it live," he explained. "So we played it live and then recorded it."
Asked if the "All About Love" EP will include the "Cold Blue Steel" and "Time To Rock!" standalone singles, which were made available in August 2021 and August 2022, respectively, Brian said: "No. There's two other tracks that aren't 'All About Love'. And I don't wanna give it away, 'cause it takes a little bit of the surprise away, but there'll be four different versions of 'All About Love' and two new tracks. There'll be the live version, the studio version and two kind of other alternate versions… It'll be something real nice for the fans. We worked real hard on it, and I'm excited to put it out there. It'll be cool. It'll be a nice piece for the fans to buy."
This past August, Jeff spoke to Joseph Suto of Rock Show Critique about the band's plans to release new music. He said: "Now, at this point, after COVID and everything, we're just releasing singles 'cause people can download them. And from what I understand — they explained it to me, 'cause I don't go on the Internet, but they explained to me, 'Jeffrey, in today's world, you can release a single for people to download, and it's just like back in the '40s and '50s when people would put a little 45 record with a B-side.' So from what I understand, the last two songs we released was 'Cold Blue Steel' and then 'Time To Rock!' And it's all getting worked up, and I forget what the release date is for a song called 'All About Love'. We've been playing it live, but it's going to be officially released and a limited supply on vinyl."
Wheat and Hannon previously talked about "All About Love" during an appearance on the April 12 episode of SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk". Brian said: "We just recorded [it] a couple weeks ago. And it's done and we're playing it live and this summer we should have it out."
Frank added: "It's actually the first song that J.K. [singer Jeff Keith] and myself wrote after a dry spell of writing songs during the COVID lockdown. And the first lyric of the song is, 'I wanna get back to where I started.' That was influenced by how we were feeling during COVID. So we chipped away. We made a little demo of it, and then we just kind of shelved it for a while, 'cause I always knew that I wanted the band and BDub [Brian] to produce it and make it sound rocking. And the original demo was really chill and almost sounded like AIR SUPPLY. It was mellow. And I knew, and I told Brian, I go, 'I love this song, but it needs to be rocked out TESLA style.' So that's what we did. And we worked on it over the past six months at soundchecks during the gigs, practicing it and really developing it and turning it into a rock song."
Asked if the plan is for TESLA to release a full-length album after issuing "All About Love" as well as the two previously released singles "Cold Blue Steel" and "Time To Rock!", Brian said: "No, not particularly. Because it takes too much time. Here's the thing. It's no secret, we're getting older. Jeff is 65, 66 years old… In order to do an album, it takes so much out of the band — time and energy. And right now, I think we're all on the same page that we'd rather take that time and energy and go around and play while we're still able to play at the level we play at, because we still play very well. Jeff Keith still sings very, very well. And we can address making an album where you can be in a studio and you can do things 26 times and all that thing, if you have to, later. But to sit there and make an album right now… Frank told you, we've been working on this song ['All About Love'] for six months."
Frank added: "It's different now. See, what people don't realize, for a band to make an album that's really great, you have to get locked in a room for about a year and really hash it out and argue and make demos. And then what you're doing is you're fabricating 10 songs, and you'll usually have two great ones and then the other ones are kind of half-assed written unless you spend that time doing it. And that's what we did on the first four albums, or all of our albums that we did up to this point. Now what we're doing is creating singles and touring and playing live and getting them out while they're fresh."
Continued Brian: "Plus there's the whole economic thing about it. We're not a independently multimillionaire wealthy guys. It's a matter of we have to take the time off. We are a working band. Trust me, if we were millionaires, multi-millionaires, and we could afford to take two years off, we maybe would, but we can't. We have to work. We're a working band."
Wheat added: "Look, I would love to go make a record, but like Frank says, I think the songs get compromised because you don't… We spent six months on 'It's All About Love', and I think we got this one right. Honestly, I'm really, really proud of it. It's what I think a TESLA fan would expect from TESLA — right down the middle. Jeff sounds great. Frank's doing classic guitar licks again. But it took six months. We just didn't pull it out of our ass. We worked on it. And to do a 10-song album, even if it's two months a song, that's a year… And quite honestly, you've gotta look at things for supply and demand. Like, how many people want a new TESLA record, a whole new album?
"I'm a statistics guy," Brian said. "And if you wanna get into this, I can go people buying records versus buying tickets. And there are way more people that are buying tickets than are buying records. And they wanna hear all them hits. And then there's the hardcores, which is a much smaller percentage, and you have to go, you have to look at it realistically and go, 'How much gas is left in that tank?'"
Some fans criticized TESLA for adopting a 1980s-style polished production for its latest album, 2019's "Shock". The follow-up to June 2014's "Simplicity" was helmed by DEF LEPPARD guitarist Phil Collen, whose own group is no stranger to slicked-up, glossy-sounding recordings.
In September 2023, TESLA released the official music video for its cover of AEROSMITH's "S.O.S. (Too Bad)". The song is a bonus track on TESLA's live album, "Full Throttle Live!", which arrived in May 2023. The LP includes the band's "Time To Rock!" single, plus other songs, all recorded in August 2022 at Full Throttle Saloon in Sturgis, South Dakota.
In September 2021, original TESLA drummer Troy Luccketta announced that he would "take a little time from the road" to spend with family and friends. He has since been replaced at TESLA's gigs by Steve Brown, the younger brother of former DOKKEN drummer Mick Brown.
TESLA's debut album, 1986's "Mechanical Resonance", went platinum on the strength of the hits "Modern Day Cowboy" and "Little Suzi". The 1989 follow-up album, "The Great Radio Controversy", produced five hits, including "Heaven's Trail (No Way Out)" and "Love Song", which hit the pop Top Ten.
Copenhagen-based hardcore quintet, Split, is poised to shake up the hardcore scene with their brand new track, “Cold Heart”, a fierce collaboration with heavy-hitters Dethrxner, offering a glimpse into the upcoming debut EP 2300, set to release in March.
Watch the accompanying music video below, with live footage from their recent show supporting Lifesick in Copenhagen.
"Our new track was inspired by Dethrxner, who are also featured on the song. ‘Cold Heart’ combines elements from rap, hardcore, and metalcore," vocalist Benjamin Jeppesen explains.
Gore House Productions proudly announces the release of Necrambulant's second full-length, Upheaval Of Malignant Necrambulance, to follow 2022's A Feast Of Festering Flesh (EP) and 2013 debut album, Infernal Infectious Necro-ambulatory Pandemic.
The sophomore album, due out on March 7, is a relentless record presented as an anthology of all that Necrambulant represents, horror, gore, and slamming brutal death metal. Musically, the band incorporated a full arsenal of death metal and slam to further define their self-described sound of "Inhuman Slam Grind". Lyrically, the album has something to offer on many levels of thematic brutality; zombies, serial killers, cannibals, sci-fi, and Warhammer.
"We think our new full-length will be well received by fans of our earlier work. We put out our somewhat experimental EP back in 2022 to a very mixed bag of reviews. We had kind of expected that particular release to receive some heat, as it was a bit of a departure from our previous sound. For the EP, we wanted short, to-the-point, less modern-sounding slam/death metal. We wanted it to have the sound of something like a reanimated corpse that had been lying out in the desert, dried out, dusty, and decayed; that was my approach to the vocal sound and some people dug it while others hated it. But with the new album being more of a return to form, we hope that it will be more well-received among fans who have been with us since the beginning as well as something fresh for our newer listeners to enjoy as well. The new album is just a relentless barrage of slamming brutal death metal. We strived for a no bullshit / no filler track list that will just pummel the listener with heaviness," says the band.
To infest the auditory canals of extreme metal fans around the globe, Necrambulant is unshackling their first single, "Chunked Pus Chowder", accompanied by a gruesome claymation video.
The band explains further on the track: "This is one that was written with more humor in mind than anything else. Just a song that's gross for the sake of being gr
