Dez shared, "With a heavy heart, let me tell you a story about life taking a turn, I'm writing to you from my bed. I've been running 6 miles daily, I've been rehearsing two hours daily in my home studio and excited to hit the road, I'm excited to get on a bus with my brothers and sister and my crew. I' d never felt better and as you all know, I fought back hard after long haul Covid tried to kill me. (continue)

Kenny Wayne Shepherd, the multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated preeminent blues-rock guitarist, has just unleashed his latest single "Long Way Down," a smoldering track that stands out as one of the most intense moments on his upcoming album Dirt On My Diamonds, Volume 2 out September 20th via Mascot/Provogue Records. "Long Way Down" takes listeners on a deep dive into a moodier, more introspective side of Shepherd's sound. With its gravelly textures and selective, searing guitar solo, "Long Way Down" is a testament to Shepherd's mastery of less-is-more. "It's the least flashy solo on the record, but it cuts deeper because of it," Shepherd reflects.
Dirt On My Diamonds, Volume 2 picks up where Volume 1 left off, pushing the boundaries of modern blues-rock while staying true to its roots. Shepherd wrote the material at the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, channeling the studio's storied history into the DNA of the album. "The whole reason we went down to Muscle Shoals was to soak up the vibe that's been left in that room for so many decades," Shepherd reflects. (continue)

Swedish melodic death metal band Thermality just released their brand new studio album, "The Final Hours", and to celebrate we asked Ludvig Sommar to tell us about one of the tracks, here is the story behind the song "Stranger":
I thought I could tell you a little about the writing process for the song "Stranger"
For a while we wanted to do something different whilst still keeping it true to the sound. And when almost all of the songs for the album were written and we were a week from heading into the studio, we wrote this song. It started when I was playing around with a few bell sounds in Logic, and layer by layer the intro kind of came together. The guitars felt kind of natural in the way it all comes in as one "big explosion" and it also felt right to put emphasis on the lead guitar and synths. Creating something truly different for us with having the synth far forward and somehow still keeping it heavy. (continue)
