Australian Progressive Death Metal Masters BE’LAKOR Unveil Ambitious New Single & Video Valence. New Album, Coherence, out this Friday via Napalm Records.

BE’LAKOR display an unmatched feel for heavy, grand compositions, rightfully earning them their spot at the forefront of Progressive Death Metal with more than 20 million streams on Spotify alone! With their latest singles “Hidden Window” and “Foothold” getting praise from new and old fans, the Australian Progressive Death powerhouse ignites the final audiovisual inferno from the new album Coherence (out this Friday, Oct 29 via Napalm Records) with their third single “Valence”. With “Valence”, the Australians share one of their most ambitious songs yet. With deep swinging bass, flowing verses, epic harmonized leads and cold, deep growls, BE'LAKOR drag their listeners down into the airless depths. From ambient piano passages to relentless severity up to warm acoustic interjections, the track unravels as a dynamic, multi-faceted opus with multiple twists and turns throughout its runtime. BE’LAKOR about “Valence”: “'Valence' is a song which brings together elements of all our previous albums - perhaps especially the sounds and moods of Stone's Reach and Of Breath and Bone - and then combines them with some of our newer ideas. The studio footage, filmed in Melbourne by Oli Sansom, was captured in the tracking and recording spaces where Coherence was created - and so it's is a fitting song to accompany the release of the album. Enjoy”

 The eight tracks on Coherence display BE’LAKOR’s impressive spectrum of musical abilities, ranging from the 12-minute-long journey of “Much More Was Lost” to the atmospheric, fully instrumental “Sweep of Days”. BE’LAKOR are not afraid to focus on extensive, cohesive songwriting, and Coherence is full of details that reveal more and more with every listen. Thanks to the marvelous, larger-than-life mix by none other than Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Leprous, At The Gates among others), BE’LAKOR are as bold and majestic as ever on Coherence! Steve Merry (piano/synths) from BE’LAKOR about Coherence: "We're excited to share this album after five years of quite intense work on it. It's pushed us in many ways. Coherence has two of our longest ever songs; it has some really substantial instrumental tracks; it's heavy and progressive in places, but still full of the melody that drives our work. The album's lyrics also explore quite different ideas to those of our earlier albums. We look forward to working with Napalm Records on this release and sharing this music with our fans"

Coherence Track List: 1 - Locus 2 - The Dispersion 3 - Foothold 4 - Valence 5 - Sweep of Days 6 - Hidden Window 7 - Indelible 8 - Much More Was Lost Coherence will be available on black 2LP gatefold with etching, as well as limited 2LP gatefolds in gold, silver and white. The exclusive Die Hard Edition of the album will feature a metal plate with the lyrics and a slipmat, and a deluxe wooden box (jewel case) limited edition will include a collector’s coin, wall flag, wrist band and pick set. A must-have for BE’LAKOR fans

Line-Up: George Kosmas - Vocals, Guitar Shaun Sykes - Guitar John Richardson - Bass Elliott Sansom - Drums Steven Merry – Piano and synths

For Immediate Release  May 6, 2021 Radio Promo Powerhouse Skateboard Marketing Ltd.Celebrates 30th AnniversaryColleagues and Clients Weigh in on Skateboard’s

 Influence

Celebratory Events Planned for Later this Year

New York-based radio promotion powerhouse Skateboard Marketing Ltd., headed by music industry veteran Munsey Ricci, is celebrating its 30th anniversary of taking heavy metal and hard rock music to the airwaves.“It's been 30 years already,” Ricci says. “Time seems to fly when you’re having fun. I've been blessed and graced to have the opportunity to work with the artist roster we have. Every morning I get up and still live to walk into the office and do this gig. I just don't get tired of it and need more!”Founded in 1991 by the former PolyGram Records executive, Skateboard Marketing Ltd. quickly established itself as the leader in radio and artist development with a focus on all formats of aggressive music. 

Love of music, longstanding relationships and profound respect from colleagues and artists have earned the company a reputation as the go-to company to for national radio promotion in North America.“Munsey and Skateboard Marketing do what they do because they LOVE IT,” says SiriusXM’s Jose “Metal Ambassador” Mangin. “There’s no one in the world that is as seasoned and dedicated to the art of metal promotion. I’ve been helping Munsey spread the good gospel of metal for 25 years, and we’re both just getting started! Congrats on 30 f’in years of dominance!”

Syndicated radio host and author Full Metal Jackie adds, “Munsey is integral to the heavy music scene. He carries the torch proudly and at this point he is basically a de facto member of most of your favorite metal bands. Cheers Munsey & Skateboard. ”These sentiments are echoed by the artists Skateboard Marketing Ltd. has represented, with many noting the integral part the company has played in their success.

Says Overkill vocalist Bobby Blitz, “Congratulations to Munsey and Skateboard on 30 years of keeping the airwaves chock full of the heaviest metal! For decades now we call him the 6th member in the Overkill camp, as he has gone above and beyond to help bring our craft to those who crave it. Happy anniversary Skateboard, from Chaly and the boys!”

Singerman Entertainment’s Todd Singerman notes, “Skateboard Marketing, under the enthusiastic stewardship of Munsey Ricci, have helped consistently propel Motörhead's music to the ears and hearts of thousands upon thousands of ears for over three decades. Munsey remains that rare combination of class and action.”

Adds Wendy Dio, “Munsey Ricci and Skateboard Marketing have supported every Dio record throughout Ronnie’s career and continue to support us.”

While Director of National Metal Radio Promotion at PolyGram Records, Ricci created the first metal radio department for the label and all of its affiliates, including Mercury Records, Polydor Records, RooArt and London Records, where the artist roster included bands like Mortal Sin, Onslaught, Yngwie Malmsteen, Kiss, Doro Pesch, The Scorpions, Rush, Tony MacAlpine and Vinny Moore.

Ricci also previously worked for CMJ Media and Combat/In-Effect Records, and programmed radio for five years prior to his label stint, learning and working next to some of the most influential people in the radio promotion world and leading to the success of Skateboard Marketing Ltd.

“I've had the pleasure of knowing Munsey for close to 25 years,” says Rob Rush, Program Director/PM Drive Jock 94.3 The Shark Long Island. “He is a consummate professional and has always gone above and beyond for the bands that he promotes, and the radio stations that play his bands. He is a true class act and I'm proud to call him one of my best friends! Here's to 30 more years of Munsey and Skateboard Marketing!!!”

SiriusXM Volume’s “TrunkNation” host Eddie Trunk conquers. “I’ve known and worked with Munsey for all 30 years of Skateboard Marketing and beyond,” he says. “He’s always had a great passion for rock and metal music and all the projects he works. All the best for the next 30 to all at Skateboard!”

Seeing a void for heavy music in the radio trades, Ricci launched Metal Contraband in 2016. Metal Contraband, in conjunction with Radio Contraband, fills that gap as a destination for labels, management and artists looking for accurate information, including a metal chart consisting of commercial, syndication as well as large college stations, a metal news section for up-to-date news on tours and festivals, ad dates and street dates. Also included is an overall release schedule for metal add dates at radio. Metal Contraband has become the most reliable source to gauge the success of a record at radio.

Adds Joey Z of longtime Skateboard client Life Of Agony, “It's hard to believe that Munsey and the team at Skateboard Marketing have been grinding it out for all of us for 30 years. Life Of Agony is so grateful for all the help and support the team has given us throughout the years... We wish them continued success for at least another 30!!”

“Munsey is the only metal radio game in town,” says Adrenaline PR’s Maria Ferrero. “Period.”

The company's roster has ranged from the smallest to the biggest heavy metal and hard rock bands. Its staple roster consists of Motörhead, Overkill, Testament, Judas Priest, Ronnie James Dio, Black Sabbath, Exodus, Death Angel, Soilwork, Parkway Drive, Ozzy Osbourne, Sepultura, Soulfly and many labels including Napalm, Nuclear Blast, Century Media, E- One Entertainment, Warner Music, BMG, Sony, Pavement, Metalville, Spinefarm, Fearless and Universal. Skateboard Marketing Ltd. has also worked on radio campaigns with Iron Maiden, Monster Magnet, Crowbar, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Doro Pesch, Veil Of Maya, At The Gates, Body Count, High On Fire and many others.

“Rip Magazine and Skateboard Marketing rolled loud and proud together back in the day,” says Lonn M. Friend, author of Life on Planet Rock. “Congrats to Munsey on three decades of prosperous decadence.” Stay tuned for announcements on celebration events.

LORNA SHORE ANNOUNCES DIGITAL RELEASE OF IMMORTAL - INSTRUMENTAL

LORNA SHORE recently released a drum playthrough of "Death Portrait" featuring drummer Austin Archey for a 1st taste of how an instrumental version of their songs sound like. Check out the drum playthrough

"Death Portrait" is off the band's latest full-length, Immortal, which came out earlier this year via Century Media Records to rave reviews. The band have released music videos for "King Ov Deception", "Death Portrait", and "Immortal" off the new LP, which was written by guitarist Adam DeMicco and drummer Austin Archey and was produced by Josh Schroeder (The Color Morale, In Hearts Wake). Immortal is available to stream and purchase.

Formed in 2010, LORNA SHORE is quick to surpass expectations with 2012's Bone Kingdom EP and it's follow-up, 2013's Malificium EP, which peaked at #3 on the iTunes Metal charts. Through each release, LORNA SHORE continues to prove themselves to be an increasingly formidable force and a ferocious live proposition. 2017's sophomore LP, Flesh Coffin showed a band that had moved beyond mere "deathcore" trappings and had evolved into a modern metal band, as uncompromising and accomplished as any of their contemporaries or influences. Topping their previous output with their third full-length and Century Media debut, Immortal was refined and perfected over a two-year period. Immortal marks the next stage in LORNA SHORE's development as America's newest extreme metal powerhouse.

Immortal Press Raves: "Lorna Shore is about to make you mosh around your house thanks to their new track 'Death Portrait'." - Metal Injection "To anyone who wants solid and masterfully executed deathcore through and through, Immortal is your newest favorite." - Metal Sucks

"Lorna Shore is, indeed, a deathcore band, and Immortal proves that they just might be the very best." - Metal Insider

MOTÖRHEAD To Release Louder Than Noise… Live in Berlin  via Silver Lining Music on April 23, 2021MOTÖRHEAD and Germany… it was always a love affair.Throughout the Grammy-Award winning band’s illustrious 40-year career, Germany never wavered in its loyal and fanatical support of MOTÖRHEAD’s untouchably loud rock ‘n’ roll, with the band regularly selling out tour after tour. And on December 5, 2012, at the Berlin Velodrom, MOTÖRHEAD played one of their biggest-ever German gigs to 12,000 delirious, delighted and demented MOTÖRHEAD fans during the Kings of The Road Tour.

The event was thankfully recorded, and on April 23rd, Silver Lining Music will proudly present Louder Than Noise… Live in Berlin on CD with bonus DVD, double vinyl and via your favored streaming platforms. 

Featuring Ian ‘Lemmy’ Kilmister, Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee, Louder Than Noise… Live in Berlin is a crowning, definitive statement as to the power the trio had long held. Theirs was a line-up which had spent decades cracking sound barriers, bending ears and decimating lawns worldwide, consistently delivering the Motörgospel to hundreds of thousands of fans, and this line-up was MOTÖRHEAD’s longest serving by a considerable distance (Phil joined in 1984, Mikkey in 1992, and the band played as a trio from 1995 until the band’s final show in 2015).

Throughout Louder Than Noise… Live in Berlin their powerful synergy boots its way through the speakers with the boisterous charm and dirty, dangerous, sweaty gusto that was the Kilmister/Campbell/Dee trademark. From the unapologetically furious “I Know How to Die” to a deliciously raucous “Going to Brazil,” Louder Than Noise… Live in Berlin is all about the thick, raw and liberating power of MOTÖRHEAD live, with longtime producer Cameron Webb bringing his mixing skills to the party as well as doing a 5.1 mix of the DVD. Further highlights include a favorably feral “Rock It,” a rudely raunchy “You Better Run” and a classic one-two haymaker of “Ace of Spades” and “Overkill.” The leading track from the album will be a cranium-cracking “Over the Top,” a song which must be as close to definitive of this band as you’ll ever find.

The whole night was captured by Herwig Meyszner, who has also produced concert films for the likes of Saxon, Exodus and Kreator, with a multi-camera no-shot-missed shoot that captures not just the energy onstage but the energy on the floor. In so many ways, Louder Than Noise… Live in Berlin is a joyous celebration of Lemmy, Phil, Mikkey and this special night in Germany, and whether a collector completist or newbie to MOTÖRHEAD’s music, Louder Than Noise… Live in Berlin is a welcome reminder of what real rock ‘n’ roll is truly about.

CD Album with Bonus DVD in Digipak Worldwide Double Black Vinyl Album, 180 gm, in Gatefold [Available at Retail World Ex.

AD INFINITUM Announces Chapter I Revisited Digital Acoustic Version of Debut Album.

Watch the Video for First Single Marching On Versailles (Acoustic)

Symphonic metal alliance AD INFINITUM have reimagined their spellbinding debut album, Chapter I: Monarchy, with Chapter I Revisited – a very special acoustic version of their first full-length, to be digitally released December 4 via Napalm Records! With over one million views on YouTube, AD INFINITUM’s single “Marching On Versailles” speaks for itself and breaks in with thrashing drums as well as stormy guitar riffs – ‘til now! On Chapter I Revisited, the quartet dressed all the debut’s songs – including the hit single “Marching On Versailles” – into an acoustical and rather natural arrangement, representing another beautiful yet unknown aspect of it: Delicate guitar tunes immediately deliver the catchy melody of the chorus straight to the listener, showcasing that AD INFINITUM chose wisely in selecting this smasher as their first single back when Chapter I: Monarchy was released, as well. With the addition of Latin instrumental elements, this version of “Marching On Versailles (Acoustic)” represents a whole new facet of the four-piece.               The quartet, fronted by inimitable vocalist Melissa Bonny, have impressively attired the ten songs on Chapter I Revisited as an acoustic arrangement, showcasing how beautifully the hits like "See You In Hell" or “Demons”, amongst others, magically unfold in a more instrumentally-organic environment. Surrounded by gentle guitar playing, the originally dark symphonic metal album transforms to lightness throughout the harmonic approach of instruments. Melissa Bonny’s multifaceted vocal power shines like a bright star in the dark sky and manages to shake the firmament despite the acoustic background, notedly expressed as the powerful growls in “Maleficent” break through the silent surrounding. Melissa Bonny on Chapter I Revisited:             “After the release of Chapter I: Monarchy, we received very positive feedbacks concerning the acoustic bonus tracks. This summer, when we realised that we would probably not tour at all this year, we decided to create something special for the people who support us. We revisited and re-recorded entirely our Chapter I and we gave it a brand new atmosphere. Please welcome Chapter I Revisited!” AD INFINITUM on "Marching On Versailles (Acoustic)":

“2020 has been, and still is, challenging for everyone. The band had to find other ways than touring to connect with our fans and friends. Therefore, working in secret, we prepared one more surprise for you. An early Christmas present! A complete acoustic album featuring all the songs of Chapter I: Monarchy.

MARIANAS REST Signs with Napalm Records “Hope is a flame, bright and mesmerizing, creating life then turning it to ash.” (taken from “Restitution”/Ruins, 2019)

Finnish melodic death metal strikers MARIANAS REST have officially signed a worldwide contract with Napalm Records.

Hailing from the coastal town of Kotka, MARIANAS REST pool the full extent of their musical expertise to raise their gloomy symbiosis of melancholic melodic death metal spiced with significant doom elements to the next level. Founded in 2013, MARIANAS REST released their first full-length, Horror Vacui, back in 2016, followed by the critically acclaimed long player Ruins (2019).  With their further creative output, the Finns – with Jaakko Mäntymaa on vocals and Omnium Gatherum’s Aapo Koivisto on keys – have already proven their ability to master the tightrope act between despair and darkness along with a spark of hope. The six-piece is currently working on a new studio album. More to be announced soon…

MARIANAS REST state:“It is amazing to get to be a part of such a fine label. We want to leave our mark in a long line of tradition. Can’t wait to be working together and to let you all hear what we have been cooking up!” - Jaakko Mäntymaa, Vocalist

”For years we have been doing our best to perfect our vision of what Marianas Rest should and will be. Now with great relief we can say that we have found a partner in Napalm Records to truly fulfill this vision.” - Aapo Koivisto, Keyboardist Napalm Records on the signing: “Finland´s MARIANAS REST is one of the most exhilarating bands in Melodic Death Metal, and delivered a brilliant album in 2019, entitled Ruins. The new album will be a mandatory purchase for fans of Insomnium, Ghost Brigade and Swallow The Sun. Welcome to the Napalm family!“ - Sebastian Muench, A&R

MARIANAS REST are: Jaakko Mäntymaa – vocals Aapo Koivisto – keysNico Mänttäri – guitar Harri Sunila – guitar Niko Lindman – bass Nico Heininen – drums

Unleash The Archers Releases Video for The New Track "Abyss"

New Full-Length Album, Abyss, out August 21, 2020 via Napalm Records

 Earlier this month, Canadian melodic power metal quartet UNLEASH THE ARCHERS announced the upcoming release of their fifth full-length album, Abyss, out August 21, 2020 via Napalm Records. Lifted by the urgent, breathtaking vocals of frontwoman Brittney Slayes, on Abyss, the band re-cements themselves as an unequalled, undeniable metallic force with their strongest album to date.

 Today, the band is thrilled to reveal a brand new, otherworldly music video for the album's colossal title track, "Abyss". Musically, the track unveils the diversity of UNLEASH THE ARCHERS, delivering one earworm moment after another. Its accompanying video, directed by Rod Scobie (also director of the band's music videos for "Awakening" and "Northwest Passage"), takes the viewer on a CGI rollercoaster ride – launching them firmly from the terrestrial plane to the celestial one. At first, the viewer could assume they're viewing a regular performance video, but little hints here and there begin to reveal that it is far from your average clip!

Frontwoman Brittney Slayes says about "Abyss":

 "This track set the tone for the whole record; conceptually, lyrically, musically, it all started here. Andy came up with the opening riff back when we were writing Apex, but I knew right away it didn't belong on that record. When we finally started writing Abyss in 2019, this was the first song we wrote and it was the first song I listened to when the record was done. It symbolizes five years of hard work for us, and I think it does a great job of putting the listener in the right place emotionally to start the record. It hints at what the rest of the album is all about, but also doesn't give it all away, not by a long shot!"

 Heavy Experimental Rockers VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY Release New Lyric Video “Father Sun”

Hailing from the northern region of Greece, experimental rock olympians, VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY, open the hallucinatory hollow for the newest atmospherically captivating offer – "Father Sun“. The track is accompanied by an enthralling lyric video that has just been released via Napalm Records. "Father Sun“ strongly represents VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY’s essential message – to protect and enjoy mother earth, the holy rivers and the golden sun. The artistic symbiosis of shapes and light underline the lyric video and the band’s unparalleled sound-trademark. VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY on “Father Sun”:

"For too long now, mother Earth has been sending messages that we are completely on the wrong trail. Let's see these strange days as an opportunity to reconsider and imagine what our lifestyle should be and what really really matters. It is vital to reconnect with the Earth and start thinking globally. We must set as our priority the prosperity of all human beings with respect and in perfect harmony with the nature. It is clearer now more than ever that we are truly connected and one's actions affect all of us. As quickly as a virus or something bad spreads without knowing borders or nations, so can love, kindness, good vibes and peace be spread among us. Wash away the fear, realize and embrace our unity with everything, act accordingly and that will be the beginning of the change you are waiting for.“ Opening with conjuring sonically ascending bagpipe melodies, that slowly weave into strong guitars riffs, a sonorous maelstrom off instrumental trance and Alex echoing strong vocal color will draw you right into their exploding musical blend. The protruding synthesis of rhythms, folklore elements and blazing soundscapes coalesces with the vibrant yet explosive atmosphere. VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY prove that psychedelic heavy rock is one of the most versatile genre of the modern times and radiate with their unique blend of post, kraut, stoner rock spiced by a palpable dose of folk elements. A psychedelic mantra for the new age.

LIFE OF AGONY and DOYLE (of the Misfits) Team Up for Beast Coast Monsters Tour 2020. US Tour Dates Begin on March 13 in Philadelphia, PA:

Following the incredible success of their 2019 European tour together, LIFE OF AGONY and Doyle (featuring the iconic guitarist of the Misfits) will bring their Beast Coast Monsters tour to the U.S. and Australia in 2020. The tour kicks off this March on Friday the 13 in Philadelphia, PA (full dates listed below).

The comradery between these musicians began in the mid-90s when LIFE OF AGONY first toured with the Misfits throughout America. “It was one of the most fun tours I’ve ever done,” says Doyle. “I still workout to Other Side Of The River.” In fact, Doyle would often jump up onstage to perform this LOA fan favorite during their recent European run.

The feeling is mutual. LOA bassist Alan Robert explains, “We all grew up on Misfits records and have been huge fans since we were kids, so getting to know Doyle and the guys on a personal level has been really amazing. We had such a blast together last winter in Europe, that we decided to keep the party going in the States and in Australia this year.”

LIFE OF AGONY’s critically acclaimed 2019 release, The Sound of Scars (Napalm Records), was named ALBUM OF THE YEAR by The Aquarian and took the #1 spot on Metal Hammer’s (DE) Alternative-Rock/Punk “Best of 2019” list. The record was produced by Sylvia Massy (Tool, System of A Down) with LOA’s very own Joey Z (mixed by Massy), and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Metallica, Nirvana).
