International powerhouse rock group W.E.T. is pleased to release their highly anticipated new studio album, 'Apex,' via Frontiers Music Srl. The focus track, "What Are We Fighting For," is accompanied by a visualizer.
Vocalist Jeff Scott Soto commented on the focus track: "What I love about this song and even about the evolvement of W.E.T. is utilizing the fact that we have two lead singers in the band, and this can be exploited as many of my favorite bands in the 70's - like Queen, Styx, Journey, and Eagles did, adding layers to the songs. On this track, Erik and I trade off on lead vocals for this defining song with a sound that has the true W.E.T. stamp to it." (continue)

A Killer's Confession, the band led by vocalist Waylon Reavis, released a new song today "In Case of Emergency". The song also features Waylon's former Mushroomhead bandmate Jason "JMann" Popson. The two last recorded together in 2014 on Mushroomhead's The Righteous & The Butterfly that spurred the classic "Qwerty".
On "In Case of Emergency", Waylon Reavis comments: "20 years ago, Jason "Jmann" Popson gave me an opportunity of a lifetime and I have forever been grateful. He hand chose me to be his successor, believed in me when no one else would. Last year, a mutual friend had passed away, and my wife Julie suggested I'd give him a call to find out what happened. This was the best decision I had ever made to pick up that phone. We started talking and before we knew it we were sitting in my studio writing "in case of emergency". The song came out very organically and lyrically spoke of how Jason and myself truly feel. I'm so excited for this release because this will be the first release Jason and I have done in 10 years."
