Daath To Release First Album In 13 Years
Lauded progressive death metal outfit Daath has emerged from its thirteen-year hiatus with a new album, "The Deceivers," set for release May 3rd via Metal Blade Records.
"The Deceivers" is at once a devastating reminder and giant leap forward that showcases the technical wizardry and brutal intensity that the Atlanta, Georgia-bred band is capable of. Band founder/guitarist Eyal Levi has overseen an overhaul of the lineup, though importantly Daath still features force-of-nature vocalist Sean Zatorsky, who has fronted the band since 2007. Together they are now joined by Kerim "Krimh" Lechner on drums, Jesse Zuretti on orchestration and guitar, Rafael Trujillo on lead guitar, and David Marvuglio on bass.
"Now Daath is more orchestrated, more over the top. We have more melodies and they're beautiful,” Levi says." That‘s what "The Deceivers" is: Monstrously heavy but beautifully orchestrated, blessed with melodies that will haunt anybody fortunate enough to hear it. The nine tracks were produced by Levi, with Andrew Wade doing vocal production, John Douglass engineering, Jens Bogren mixing, and Tony Lindgren mastering. More...

Power Trip Announces Plans To Return
Texan crossover thrash metal band Power Trip has announced plans to return to the stage later this year. Vocalist Riley Gale suddenly passed away in August 2020 and the future of the band was uncertain for the following years. The group made a surprise live return in December 2023 with Seth Gilmore on vocals. An update from the band has confirmed plans for more shows later this year with Gilmore behind the mic.
"Nearly four years ago to the day, unbeknownst to us, we would perform for the last time as Power Trip.
"It has been a difficult road since then, marked by deep pain, grief, and everything else that came with losing our brother Riley.
"We know this can’t be undone, and it will always remain part of us. We have thought deeply about the future of Power Trip and what always comes back to us is that this band was founded on resilience, perseverance, and most importantly: a love for the music and for all of the people it has brought us closer to along the way.
"We’ll never have the words to convey our appreciation of the enduring support we’ve received over the years, and we feel as though the time is right to get back on stage for all of you who’ve been there throughout our existence as a band.
With that, we are excited to announce a round of upcoming 2024 performances starting with No Values on June 8th in SoCal.
"Joining us will be our long-time close friend/collaborator, and singer of Fugitive/Skourge—Seth Gilmore—who will be handling vocals for these upcoming shows.
Stay tuned, more info on the way…
"Riley Gale Forever.
Power Trip Forever.
See you in the pit.

Kerry King Announces Debut Solo Album Release Date
The Los Angeles Forum, just before midnight on Saturday, November 30, 2019. Slayer’s Kerry King stood center stage, his signature chains hung from his belt, he walked over to stage right, unhooked the chains and held them high, dropped them onto the stage floor, turned around and walked off the stage.
"I knew early on that I wasn’t done, and I had no intention of not continuing to play."
— Kerry King
With enough new material for two full albums, all written by King, if it hadn’t been for the COVID pandemic, his long-awaited solo project would likely have emerged back in 2020. For his debut album, "From Hell I Rise," due out May 17 on Reigning Phoenix Music, King, on lead guitar, enlisted drummer Paul Bostaph (Slayer), bassist Kyle Sanders (Hellyeah), Phil Demmel (formerly Machine Head) on lead guitar, and vocalist Mark Osegueda (Death Angel). Working with producer Josh Wilbur (Korn, Lamb of God, Avenged Sevenfold, Bad Religion), the vast bulk of King’s solo album was recorded at Henson Studios in Los Angeles in about two weeks, and was finished this past June.
"I didn’t know what to think, you know, it’s Kerry King from Slayer who I’ve heard a million times," said Wilbur. "He’s a very strong presence. I wouldn’t say Kerry has an ego, but he has confidence in himself, which is a good thing. That’s what you want in your rock stars and in your band. He never comes off as a jerk or mean guy. But he does know exactly what he wants. He doesn’t beat around the bush. He’s like, ‘I don’t want to do that, but I want to do this.’ Very direct, but it comes from a place of confidence, and not from a place of anything else. I really enjoyed working with Kerry." More...
