Unearth Posts New Music Video Online

Boston metalcore outfit Unearth has posted a new music video online for the song, "One With The Sun." You can check it out below. The song comes from the band's new album, "Extinction(s)" which will be released through Century Media Records on November 23rd.

"We chose 'One With The Sun' as the first video off Extinction(s) because we feel it's one of the hardest hitting tracks in our entire catalog. Musically it's everything Unearth is about and lyrically it deals with the effects of climate change we are feeling today as well as the bleakness of our future unless we make drastic changes now. Tim Dennesen and the guys at Punchdance, inc did a great job capturing the imagery needed to get the message across. You'll be sure to hear this one at our live shows as it's already become a staple in our set. See you out there," says frontman Trevor Phipps. More...

Mantar Denied Entry Into Norway

German duo Mantar has posted a statement online stating that their show in Oslo tonight has been cancelled, after they were turned away the Norwegian border. The statement reads as follows:

"KEEP NORWAY GREAT,
"KEEP MANTAR OUT! Oslo show cancelled!

"Bad news: we got denied at the border due to some weird tax shit we were supposed to pay for all the equipment. We didn't have the papers they wanted and getting them would have resulted in not making it in time to oslo anyway. We never ever had that problem before when playing Norway. We are beyond bummed and seriously pissed but will make it up to you asap. Tomorrow: GOTHENBURG!"

Mantar released their third album, "The Modern Art Of Setting Ablaze" earlier this year through Nuclear Blast Entertainment and are currently on tour in Europe with Skeletonwitch and Deathrite.
