Ahead of their support slot on Silverstein’s 25 Years Of Noise Tour alongside Thursday and a yet-to-be-announced group, Split Chain has unleashed their punk-fueled take on Type O Negative’s “I Don’t Wanna Be Me.” The track stands as one of Type O Negative’s most iconic songs (it is their most streamed release on Spotify), featured on their 2003 full-length album Life Is Killing Me. Combining the Peter Steele-led band’s dark doom metal with surprisingly poppier elements, the track is a more accessible approach to their gothic metal sound. Split Chain leans into the poppiness of the track while injecting it… Read more »
Fresh off inking a deal with Epitaph Records earlier this year, Split Chain has released their new collaborative track, “(Re)-Extract,” featuring Softcult. Arriving just over a year after the original release of “Extract,” the reimagined track delivers a powerful amalgamation of hard-hitting instrumentation and gripping vocals woven seamlessly together for an intense soundscape. Softcult’s addition introduces a striking contrast, blending softness and heaviness in a way that amplifies the track’s emotional depth. Of the new single, the band shares, “It’s so easy to get stuck in negative spirals, admitting defeat and accepting it as part of you and your personality,… Read more »
Maggie Lindemann has just announced that her second EP, HEADSPLIT, will arrive out on March 8. Fans can begin pre-saving the record on Spotify and Apple Music here. Plus, listeners can pre-order the eight-track EP on iTunes and in her store on vinyl beginning today, as well. In classic Lindemann fashion, the artist draws inspiration from iconic horror films. In this case, the HEADSPLIT cover cheekily nods to the grotesque “Reverse Bear Trap” seen in the first Saw movie. Our fingers are crossed that the EP contains several scary movie Easter eggs. The upcoming release boasts three stunning features, including… Read more »

There’s finally a chill in the air, and we all know what that means: Halloween is on its way. Whether you enjoy dressing up for parties or hosting a horror movie night from the comfort of your couch, there’s something for everyone to take part in. Better yet, there are plenty of alternative bands and artists that find their inspiration in the spooky season. This doesn’t mean that they are carving pumpkins or telling ghost stories. Many bands in our scene incorporate paranormal or horror imagery and themes into their releases. This can take the form of voodoo dolls (The… Read more »
Modern UK death metal band, Ingested have shared a new music video for their single “With Broken Wings” today. The song comes from their most recent full-length album Ashes Lie Still, which released in November of 2022 via Metal Blade Records. The record is their most dynamic, inventive, and daring release to date. They truly hold nothing back. The band describes it as “a modern essential. It still has the core Ingested elements of groovy slamming riffs, quick drumming, and guttural vocals but there’s also atmosphere, ethereal moments, and some raw old school aggression.” Speaking on the new video, singer Jason Evans… Read more »
