The Three Tremors Release New Single
The Three Tremors, the new project featuring vocalists Tim "Ripper" Owens (Spirits Of Fire/ex Judas Priest/ex Iced Earth,) Harry "The Tyrant" Conklin (of Jag Panzer and Satan's Force fame) and Sean "The Hell Destroyer" Peck, known for his work with Cage and Dealer, has posted a new single and lyric video online for the song, "Invaders Of The Sky." You can check it out below. The song comes from the band's eponymous debut album, which will be released on January 18th through Steel Cartel Records.
Ripper: "There is a lot going on in this song. This is 3 singers brining it old school with power and highs! To tell you the truth this is what you are going to get on the whole CD!"
Harry: "I would have to say this is one of the more thrashy tracks on album. It has a real chaotic feel too it which I love. I think we are opening the live set with this one too, it's going to be crazy doing this one live."
Sean: "Trying to pick which songs to do videos for was almost impossible. All 12 songs on this record are so strong that I have a new favorite each time I listen to it. We decided to pick Invaders From The Sky for one of our videos because the whole imagery of an alien invasion we thought would look killer underneath the ferocity of the music. Hats off to the guys at GHD who did an incredible job putting it together and making it look just how we wanted it. When the album hits in a couple of months everyone will sympathize with how hard it was to single out just which songs to do videos for. Everyone has a different favorite!" More...

Martyr Art Stream New Song "Thundering"
Today Metal Underground is proud to premiere "Thundering" from Industrial metal artist Martyr Art, a project of Joe Gagliardi III.
Joe comments:
"Thundering" is inspired by war and the overwhelmingly dystopian direction our world is heading towards. The song also presented the opportunity to collaborate on lyrics with my dad, who served in the Vietnam War. The lyrics that he wrote are based on his experiences during the war and coming home, while the lyrics I wrote are a reflection of the storms ahead.
