As a whole, the album explores the… Read more »

Metal act Like Moths To Flames has set fire to the scene with two new singles via UNFD. The tracks, “Paradigm Trigger” and “Angels Weep,” are the group’s first releases of 2024. The duo songs stick to their classic, heavy sound. Vocalist Chris Roetter explains that “Paradigm Trigger” is about a terrifying sensation when we’re the most vulnerable while in bed and “stuck in a levitate[d] state of sleep paralysis. Including a lot of feelings of anxiety, it’s meant to represent the feeling of being stuck.” That theme is translated in the song with a spooky, spider-like guitar effect while… Read more »

This emotional goodbye was only worsened and cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic. These unforeseen setbacks added an extra layer of emotion to what was already a deeply sentimental farewell, leaving fans grappling with uncertainty about the band’s future and the possibility of bidding them a proper goodbye.… Read more »
Arriving as the second preview of the group’s tenth full-length album, Blood, Hair, And Eyeballs, scheduled for release on January 26, 2024, via Rise Records, Alkaline Trio has unveiled their romanticized punk ballad “Bad Time.” “‘Bad Time’ was initially inspired by a friend and crush who happened to call me while I was on tour in El Paso, Texas, as an active shooter situation was happening just across from where we were staying,” vocalist Matt Skiba explains of the release. He continues, “We could hear gunshots and sirens as the situation escalated. My friend asked if it was a bad… Read more »
