Primal Fear Shares "Deep In The Night" Video

Can you hear the sirens howling? "Code Red," the highly anticipated new offering by German metal commandos Primal Fear, will finally be unleashed upon the world in 6 weeks! Following the release of celebrated first track "Another Hero," the group has shared a second new track entitled "Deep In The Night" today. The raging yet stomping song is nothing but a massive statement for all human beings that have lost faith in mankind or other people while underlining that there's still better times awaiting. Ubik Media, who also produced the music video for aforementioned hit song "Another Hero," have once again greatly caught the atmosphere of the song; shot at Stuttgart, Germany's Im Wizemann venue, where Primal Fear will kick off their release tour with support from special guests The Unity (all dates can be found below!), the result can be viewed over on YouTube.

Singer Ralf Scheepers adds, "Finding out to being cheated is one of the worst experiences for a young man or woman. Unfortunately, it happens to almost everyone of us in life and if not, I hope it never will! But one thing is for sure: If it happens to you, it will definitely help to make the cornea around your heart grow even more. It affects your trust and if you take it too personally, you will probably never be able to trust anyone again. Nevertheless, there are fortunately always people who penetrate this cornea and reach your heart with their beautiful souls." More...

Sylosis Releases "A Sign Of Things To Come" Video

The UK’s heavy metal machine Sylosis unveils the title track of their brand-new album, "A Sign Of Things To Come." The new song speaks from Josh Middleton’s position as a new father and his fears of the world that his children will one day inherit.

Josh comments "'A Sign Of Things To Come' is a declaration of dismay towards the modern world. It’s about the anxiety of what the future holds and the feeling of division in a society where everyone is pitted against each other. This was the last song to be written for the album. It quickly became apparent that this was going to be one of the biggest, most anthemic songs on the record." More...

Capra Reveals New Album Details

On October 6th, metallic hardcore outfit Capra will unleash their sophomore full-length, "Errors," via Metal Blade Records / Blacklight Media Records. Maintaining all the elements that made their 2021 debut so compelling - raucous energy, frantic riffs, the from-the-gut lyrics and soul-searing delivery of vocalist Crow Lotus - Capra has stepped things up on this record, with stronger songwriting and a determination to reach the next level. For a first preview of "Errors," the video for the new single "Tied Up" (filmed by Dante Torrieri, Editing and Direction by Jai Benoit) can be viewed below or at the Blacklight Media Records website - where the album can also be pre-ordered in the following versions:
-CD
-red/white marble vinyl
-smoke vinyl
-digital album

Tracking in Estuary Recording Studios in Austin, Texas, with Andrew Hernandez, "Errors" was mixed by Taylor Young and mastered by Brad Boatright, the latter two having worked on "In Transmission" (2021). Guitarist Tyler Harper comments, "I knew that I wanted it to pick up where the first album left off, but that it needed to have an entirely new attitude. If you listen to the last song from 'In Transmission' into the first song on 'Errors', it's a continuation. From there the album steers off into a direction that still feels similar, but is new." Coming primarily from a hardcore background, giving listeners a sense of nostalgia for the sounds of the late 90's and early 2000's hardcore and punk scenes, but also incorporating elements of metal that complement the overall tone, everything the band does on Errors resonates with emotion; nothing is forced.

For collaborations, Capra recruited Walls Of Jericho vocalist Candace Kucsulain-Puopolo to add her inimitable tones to "Human Commodity," while their friend Dustin Coffman from Glassing added backing vocals to a handful of tracks. Producer Hernandez also added some piano to "Nora," which closes out the album in a very different manner than anything they've previously explored. In a complete juxtaposition to the tracks that precede it, "Nora" is atmospheric and lithe, delicate and haunting. "I've always wanted to show a prettier/lighter side to this band where it's not always aggressive," says Harper. "Life is a rollercoaster and sometimes you need to throw some pretty piano into it." Since Capra's inception, Harper has always envisaged each album being a continuation of the last, and then breaking it off into its own journey, seeing "Nora" as "a fun way to start album three!"
