Rival Sons have released a lyric video for their brand new track "Sweet Life" to help announce the release of their second new studio album of 2023, "LIGHTBRINGER," which will arrive on October 20th.
"LIGHTBRINGER" follows the release of "DARKFIGHTER" back in June.
Guitarist Scott Holiday said of the new effort, "When you do two albums back-to-back like this, there are a lot of things to think about. The first record has to pack enough of a punch and tell enough of a story for the second half to have an even bigger impact. We balanced them out with energy and meaning, but the follow-up always needed to deliver a bigger blow. I think LIGHTBRINGER provides this." (continue)
Creed frontman Scott Stapp has released a lyric video for his brand new single, "Higher Power," which comes from his forthcoming album with Napalm Records. Born during the dark and difficult isolation of quarantine, "Higher Power" is a propulsive track that turns the singer's own near-death experiences into an acknowledgement of grace.
Stapp says about "Higher Power": "Life's mysteries can be unraveled by listening to one's inner voice. For me, that means leaning on my faith in God and listening to His voice to guide me through the struggles and darkness. For others, whether it's through art, nature, science, family, or a combination of all, tapping into a higher power is an individualized process that requires an open mind and a willingness to flow with a force that's greater than the individual."

Bad Wolves have released a music video for their new single "Legends Never Die", which is the second track from their forthcoming album, "Die About It", that arrives on November 3rd.
SRO shared the following details: BAD WOLVES refuse to follow. Instead, the platinum-certified, 5x #1 Hard Rock radio- charting Los Angeles band circumvent convention by stretching the boundaries of hard rock with earthquaking heaviness, enigmatic experimentation, and enthralling melodies. The group--John Boecklin (drums), Daniel "DL" Laskiewicz (lead vocals), Doc Coyle (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Kyle Konkiel (bass, backing vocals)- are starting a new chapter on their own terms with their fourth full-length album DIE ABOUT IT due November 3 via BETTER NOISE MUSIC. Nodding to inspirations as diverse as The 1975 and Meshuggah. BAD WOLVES challenged themselves to experiment and redefine their sound on DIE ABOUT IT with trusted collaborator Josh Gilbert (As I Lay Dying) who co-produced the album alongside BOECKLIN and DL. With a story that emphasizes the sarcastic statement pointed towards those defending their own beliefs into absurdity, wrong or right, BAD WOLVES believe if you're gonna cry about it, then you might as well DIE ABOUT IT.

Mikhail Laxton released his self-titled album this week and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about one of the tracks. He selected "Maybe It's A Good Thing". Here is the story:
As a songwriter, it's easy to fall into the cycle of writing dark and moody songs. Songwriting is a place to explore the depths of your sorrows and relive them over and over again. I don't know if this is a human thing or a songwriter thing, but some folks get addicted to misery. I fell into that trap for a period of time. It was more like an era, and this song was no exception. (continue)
