Imagine the guitar riffing of early Skid Row, the vocal style of Saxon or Motorhead with the attitude of classic Guns N' Roses recorded with the heavy gritty sound of stoner and doom bands like Alabama Thunderpussy, Egypt and Sleep! - Zach Moonshine Motherfaster is the result of a bad idea, that was born after the end of a jam session, during the end of 2011. They are based in Athens with a common purpose. To extract the dirtiest side of their souls and present it as an audio insult. After playing some gigs during 2012 – 2013, they took the request of their fans for an official release seriously! Consequently they hit the studio to create their self titled debut. The recording process started in early 2014. George Emmanuel engineered the album and Jeffro Lackscheide mixed and mastered it. In November 2014 the first single “The nymph and the god” was featured in the compilation CD Fear Candy, that comes with Terrorizer magazine (Issue 254). Legendary metal bands Exodus and Obituary were also in this CD. They released “Motherfaster” on February 24, 2015. In the summer of 2016, they covered Impaled Nazarene’s magnum opus “Blood is thicker than water”. Then, the time came for the successor. Entitled “Slower Father”, it was recorded at Pentagram studio and mixing/mastering duties were handled by George Emmanuel. Nine explicit, dirty stories gilded with a mix of heavy metal – hard rock music. The second album is taking their signature sound one step further. Ruder, dirtier, heavier. Motherfaster released “Slower Father” on December 2, 2019. On January 25, 2020 they opened the Athenian show of metal pioneers Rotting Christ. During the following lockdown they recorded a cover version of Fleetwood Mac’s “The green Manalishi (With the two pronged crown)”. Watch this video!

The story behind 'The Flood'... Being independent artists for us means being fully involved and invested in all aspects of creating a unified vision behind what we stand for as a band. It sure is overwhelming at times and comes with some challenges, but it also allows us to expand our creativity to formats beyond just audio, whether it’s album art, designing merch or directing music videos. That’s exactly what happened with “The Flood'' and the music video for it. We started planning it back in January of 2020 (the final version of the song was still months away, we were working with a pre-production demo), when we first pitched our idea to Tyler Ayers of Reverly Studios, the director of our music video. We thought it was next to impossible to make our vision a reality, with all the technical aspects of it, but Tyler simply called our idea “genius” and said we had to do it. It then took us over 6 months of planning and 4 more months of editing and post-production to get it to where we are today. From flooding the room with 6000 gallons of water dyed pitch black, to real black caviar, to 16 crew members that all helped to make our original artistic vision come true, it’s been a wild ride, and Major Moment’s most ambitious project to date. We seriously couldn’t wait any longer to share it with everyone, and are proud to present you “The Flood”, as we always wanted you to experience it...

After the release of the first single "Heaven", italian southern/hard-rock act KLEE Project is proud to announce the release of the new album "Screaming Out Loud", out on February 12th via This Is Core. With the same line-up (includes Corrado Pirri as additional guitar and Jessie Galante on lyrics), the new album was recorded and mixed at Memphis Studio in Rome by frontman Roberto Sterpetti, mastering by Elephant Studio.
In the meantime the band has revealed today the first official video, taken from the new single "Back On In Love Again", directed by Alessandro Boggi and Alessandro Viola. About the new track Roberto Sterpetti says: "'Back On In Love Again' is about a passionate plea to fix a broken and turbulent love relationship and get it back to how it was when everything was normal and happy. So you know the heart is a resilient muscle but tearing into it on each other can really wear down a relationship, especially when one side is hell bent on ending it. 'It’s a nowhere life day by day I’m burning with a fever begging you to stay let’s get back on, back on, back on in love again...' this poor guy is miserable day to day without this girl in his life. This is a very intense and desperate show of profound heartache. The desire to reignite this relationship with resistance can drive anybody crazy and make you feel like you’re just burning up inside. So when you are in real love relationship it’s unconditional right? So you’d think. But when there’s some heavy rubs going on, you have to think is it real love? 'Get back on the horse that took you down...' means is to face your failing relationship and conquer whatever could be the reason, could be scars from another relationship, insecurity, boredom, etc. Bottom line, love is complicated so fight the good fight and 'Get Back On In Love Again'!".
Artist: KLEE Project
Track: Back On In Love Again
From the album: Screaming Out Loud
Label: This Is Core
Lyrics by: Jessie Galante
Music by: Roberto Sterpetti

Hard Rock Graphic Novel Art Project SEPTEMBER MOURNING has released the official music video for their newest single, "Wake the Dead." With the video created by Riven (guitarist), the Sahaj Ticotin (Ra, Starset) produced single is the band's first release partnered with Legend Recordings and INgrooves.
Player
"'Wake the Dead' is an anthemic track that dispels the nature of the herd mentality in our society today. The song is written from the point of view of our main character in the graphic novel, September, as she observes the world of the living in which she consistently takes souls from. The track urges the listener to take control of their own thoughts about the world around them and make their own decisions instead of relying on choices skewed heavily by the propaganda that one is constantly bombarded with. 'Wake the Dead' encourages the listener to wake from their slumber and make their mark on the world today by raising their conscious thought as well as their voice." - SEPTEMBER MOURNING

Progressive symphonic metal act SCARDUST to celebrate the launch of their acclaimed new concept album “Strangers”, the Israeli band SCARDUST – praised by Prog Magazine as “serious contenders in the symphonic/prog metal world” – hosted a live-stream release party on Facebook on Nov. 14. The event featured the first-ever live performances of several songs from the new record, as well as a Q&A with special guest musician Patty Gurdy, who appears on the album’s “Concrete Cages”. Archived video of that event is now available for free on-demand viewing at YouTube here: Setlist: 00:00 - Break the Ice 04:09 - Tantibus II 08:16 - Q&A 15:30 - Arrowhead 20:52 - Thank You! 24:37 - Q&A with Patty Gurdy 34:52 - Gone 40:14 - Mist Challenge Winners 44:44 - Mist “2020 was a hell of a ride for SCARDUST!” says vocalist Noa Gruman. “COVID-19 tried to sabotage the recording of our album and the making of no less than six music videos (and more to come), but we managed to keep to our schedule even when we barely could meet up with each other. Countless fans told us they wished they could see us live on stage with the new songs, so on Nov. 14, we returned to Bardo Studios, where we recorded the drums and choirs for 'Strangers,’ to play a live-stream show to celebrate the release of the new album. We’ve missed performing live so much, and it made us very happy to play live again and interact with our beloved audience. The thousands of people who joined the live stream that night made it double the thrill. This video is an unedited record of that wonderful event – technical glitches and all!" An intriguing concept album built of complementary song pairs working from the outside in, “Strangers” is available now in stores and on digital music platforms such as Amazon, Apple Music, and Spotify. CD and limited-edition gray smoke vinyl editions of can also be ordered via smarturl.com/scardust2020. Mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Devin Townsend, Arch Enemy), “Strangers” – described by Dead Rhetoric as “captivating from start to finish” – was written and composed jointly by Noa Gruman and composer Orr Didi, who also collaborated with SCARDUST on their full-length debut “Sands of Time” and their 2015 EP “Shadow”. In addition to Gurdy, the new album features guest appearances by the Hellscore choir (Orphaned Land, Amorphis) and England’s prestigious Westbrook Hay Prep School Chamber Choir. SCARDUST has released multiple music videos in recent weeks that reflect the concept of “Strangers”. The video for “Tantibus II” told the tale of a protagonist who decided to disconnect from reality into her own mind, and the complementary video for “Addicted” revealed that there was a caring person that tried to dissuade her from those actions. Meanwhile, the videos for “Stranger” and “Gone” tell a story from two different perspectives – one from a person that feels abandoned by someone that was close to them, and the other from a person that feels that they need to leave their current situation in order to evolve. The band also gave fans a behind-the-scenes peek at the recording process for “Strangers” via the video for “Break The Ice”, which – like the other videos from “Strangers” – can be viewed at www.youtube.com/scardust. Israel’s leading progressive metal group, SCARDUST has performed at such major festivals as Ramblin’ Man Fair (UK), Metaldays (Slovenia) and Midi (China). In addition, the band hosts the annual “Scarfest” event in their home country, where they’ve also appeared alongside the likes of Therion, Epica and Symphony X. SCARDUST is: Noa Gruman – Vocals Yanai Avnet – Bass Yadin Moyal – Guitar Itai Portugali – Keyboards Yoav Weinberg – Drums www.scardust.cowww.facebook.com/ScardustOfficialwww.instagram.com/scardust_official |
