Riverside To Record New Album

Following up on 2013's "Shrine of New Generation Slaves" release, Polish prog band Riverside is now working on a new studio album, to be released August/September 2015 via InsideOutMusic.

Riverside just finished composing all material and announced "Love, Fear and the Time Machine" as the title of the new album.

"Our sixth album, six words in the title, sixty minutes of new music, that's about how long the new release will be. And we won't be playing hard rock any more", Mariusz Duda laughs. "There will be many more melodies dressed in completely different shades. We're changing and evolving as a band, we're growing up but most of all we want to keep recording different albums which are simply great to listen to. And the new one will be like a deep breath of fresh air, very different to what we'd done before.

"Love, fear and the times that have shaped us have the biggest influence on our life choices. The lyrics will be about everything that pushes us to make the most important decisions in our life."

The band is going to start recording the new material in March and it will be possible to follow the progress at Instagram here.

Some of the new songs will already be played at this year's summer festivals. Here is an overview of all upcoming Riverside festival appearances announced so far for 2015:

11. July 2015 - Barcelona (Spain) - Be Prog! My Friend
18. July 2015 - St. Goarshausen (Germany) - Night Of The Prog X

Armed with a brand new gold single, the "Best Live Band" trophy from the 2014 Alternative Press awards, the headline slot on the "Self Help Festival," Pierce the Veil is a developing band to watch in 2015.

The new album will be released this year, and, according to vocalist Vic Fuentes, "We decided to take our time with the new album. We've been so moved by the support our fans have given us over the past few years, it's become that much more important to us to make the very best album for them that we can."

Them County Bastardz Streaming New Song

Them County Bastardz keep it simple - composed of local dudes from Essex County (an hour south of Windsor/ Detroit area) who are in it to make old school metal with back forty rock and having fun while doing it.

With upcoming debut album "Sick Daze" due out February 24th, 2015 via Smokehouse Records, the Canadian rednecks have teamed up with Bravewords.com for the premiere of the track "Drive By." Give it a listen over here.

Vocalist Andrew Watson comments: "I am super stoked about this album coming out. It's been a lot of work. I feel 'Drive By' is a good introduction to who we are. The song has stuck with the band for a long time, through our ups and downs. 'Drive By' was written about a time we were cruising around in the county on a suspended license, seeing a cop and hoping he just drives by. Cheers!" More...
