This is her first solo performance since 2016.
"The Disconnection could not be more important to me. This record was what ultimately moved me to Los Angeles and was the turning point that made me take the leap into what was to be my life and career," Carina shares. "It is a raw and unselfconscious processing of a young girl finding autonomy, herself and her voice. It is the loss of naiveté and the blind leap into bold and all-encompassing hope. It's the crashing of an old world and the diving into the new. (continue)
The towering ambition of Creeper's larger-than-life and darker-than-death new album Sanguivore has been heralded with the best reviews of their career to date. Now, they showcase their black-hearted rock opera by sharing the epic and cinematic 9-minute video for its opening track "Further Than Forever."
"Further Than Forever" is the most grandiose and escapist moment of the record, a rush of Jim Steinman-esque theatrics, rollicking rock riffs, prog excess, lashings of OTT dark humour ("I'm Jesus in a strip club giving head"), a touch of their goth punk roots, and a high drama spoken word section for good measure. It introduces the story's two main characters: the deceptively sweet but devilishly sinister vampire Mercy, an "armageddon girl could end your world with one look" and her relationship with Spook, who is dangerously beguiled by her spell.

The Native Howl, purveyors of their own genre-blurring sound "Thrash Grass" who captivated audiences by winning Season 1 of the hit TV series No Cover, have today dropped their new song "Can't Sleep" (via Sumerian Records).
Speaking about the track, the band shared: "Like much of The Native Howl's catalog, "Can't Sleep" was inspired by cinema while touring. The film "The Matrix" had a large role in the song's rowdy instrumental and vocal delivery, while the over-exerting lifestyle of being in a touring band did the rest. The lyrical themes of struggle, loss, and desperation came from personal experience." (continue)
Lonely The Brave today continue to share new music from their highly-anticipated new album What We Do To Feel.

The stage is set for next month's album release. What We Do To Feel promises to give power to the everyday, often unremarked upon moments in our lives.
True to the album's messages of hope, togetherness and unity, 'Long Way's bright and optimistic energy makes for the perfect LP opener. Guitarist Ross Smithwick says: "Musically it was a track that came together with a feeling that it offered a really positive vibe, it's maintained a riff but certainly moves away from the dark." Vocalist Jack Bennett adds: "Lyrically, it's a bit of an exploration of the commitment of relationships and the desire to keep going no matter what." (continue)

"Foxland" stands as the flagship single of our upcoming EP "Burning Season," delving into the corrosive nature of toxic competition within the music domain. Rediscovering the vitality of live performances, we confronted the paradoxical force of music: its potential to unite versus its susceptibility to ego-driven conflicts.
