Incite Unveils New Visualizer Video
With the release date of their forthcoming new studio album "Wake Up Dead" being postponed to April 8th, Arizona thrash metallers Incite are even more excited to share another appetizer from the record with 'War Soup' today. The groovy and gritty new track is the first Incite song ever to feature the vocals of both Richie and Max Cavalera - a historical gathering of heavy metal generations - and deals with the courage of standing up against bullies.
Comments singer Richie Cavalera:
"Our new Jam 'War Soup” is one of the most kickass songs we’ve ever made! It’s brutal, it’s groovy, and it’s got Max Cavalera ripping vocals with us!!! Turn it up and headbang your asses off.
the song is about standing up to bullies, not being pushed around, speaking up, and fighting back. I’ve always been quiet, shy and to nice and people have taken advantage of me for that, so now I use my voice, my strength, to not be afraid."

Helmet Cancels European Tour
Alternative rock/metal legends Helmet has announced that, due to a number of reasons, their planned "Covers And Hits" tour of Europe has been cancelled. A statement from frontman Page Hamilton reads as follows:
"Hey everyone,
"We were so looking forward to returning to Europe and getting back out on the road this Spring. After the past 2 1/2 years of Covid crushing live music we’d started rehearsals and even played 2 shows in LA. Unfortunately we are forced to cancel our 2022 European Tour due to several circumstances beyond our control (the world is still not back to normal) and for a band member to deal with a serious but non life threatening health issue.
"We would like to sincerely apologize to all our fans who have reached out to us to make plans to hang, catch up and hear us play. For now it’s back to the drawing board and we hope to see you next year.
"Refunds will be given for tickets purchased."
Marianas Rest Posts New Music Video Online
Hailing from the coastal town of Kotka, Finland, melodic death/doom metal unit Marianas Rest have just released a deeply haunting yet marvelous new official music video for their captivating song "The Weight." The head-swinging doom induced track is cut from the band’s latest full-length, "Fata Morgana," released in March 2021 - a must-have for fans of bands like Insomnium and My Dying Bride.
Lose yourself in this overwhelmingly evocative nine-minute epos, characterized by addicting guitar tones, a hypnotizing soundscape and the soul-gripping growls of vocalist Jaakko Mäntymaa. With incredible northern woodland scenography and spine-chilling choreography, the visually sophisticated music video for "The Weight" impressively underlines the creative vision of Marianas Rest once more.
Marianas Rest on "The Weight":
"'The Weight' is a journey through pressure. A desperate try to lift the world off your shoulders and search for something better. It's ugliness with a tiny glimpse of something beautiful." More...
