"One problem with constantly mining your own personal life for lyrical inspiration is that you sometimes catch yourself experiencing personal interactions through the lens of your own future lyrical depiction of the moment," says We Are Scientists vocalist and guitarist Keith Murray about the band's emotionally raw new single, "The Big One." "We hear a lot about artists coping with difficult emotional experiences by hashing them out in their work; much less is said about how the anticipation of doing that artistic hashing plays in at the actual moment. Like, 'Oh, geez, I'm in trouble now-here comes a good song!'"
He continues: "There's a scene in Noah Baumbach's Kicking and Screaming where a couple, fresh out of undergrad, are fighting over who gets to 'use this material in a story'," he continues, alluding to the 1995 film. "As a referendum on artistic solipsism, it haunts me to this day. I guess 'The Big One' is about those moments when things go so awry that that sort of in-the-moment arm's-length analysis is no longer a possibility. Now you're just in it. It also has maybe my favorite guitar solo ever, so, yeah." (continue)
For those who like dark and intense music with a distinctive point of view, In This Moment have always supplied the goods, and their new single "Heretic (feat. Kim Dracula)" is as uncompromising as ever.
It combines haunting modern soundscapes, ferocious vocals, and a doomsday metal assault, with unflinching lyrics like "I am not your pain or your remedy/I am not your faith or your vanity/I don't want your gold or your filth/That you give and you take." (continue)

About their new single, "Dawn Of Second Sun", singer Klaus Dirks comments:
"Dawn Of Second Sun" also marks the epic conclusion of our four-part cinematic video series. In this final chapter, the exiled return to the ominous 'Temple of Two Suns.' Musically, there are some Iron Maiden influences shining through in terms of epic and composition." (continue)
Martyr have shared a music video for their latest single "Legions Of The Cross", the album closing track of their forthcoming studio offering "Dark Believer". The album will be available on CD, Vinyl and Digital formats on August 15th via ROAR.

This track from our new album 'Dark Believer' is a tribute to the faithful, the fearless, and the unbreakable legions who stand with us." (continue)

Texas Headhunters aren't here to play it slick; they're here to play it real. Today, the trio of Johnny Moeller, Ian Moore and Jesse Dayton, drop "Gimme Some Love," the third single from their self-titled debut album, out August 22 on Hardcharger / Blue Elan Records.
This time, it's Johnny Moeller stepping out front. Long known for his razor-sharp guitar work with the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Moeller shows a new side of his artistry here -- cool, sly, and soaked in Texas groove. Think Ray Wylie Hubbard swagger meets Delbert McClinton soul, with a little Billy Gibbons grit for good measure. (continue)
Danish experimental rock trio Poptones today release "Say Something Now", the second single from their upcoming album Pure, out September 26th via Happy Metal Records.
