Split Chain is back with a new single, “Scatterbrain,” from the upcoming digital deluxe version of motionblur. The deluxe LP is set for arrival on all platforms on September 11 via Epitaph Records. “Like all of our other music, ‘Scatterbrain’ comes from personal experiences growing up that we’re sure everyone can relate with to some degree. It’s a song about the slow degradation of friendships, relationships, and family ties,” the band says. “How all of a sudden, when things can seem to be at their best, the other person in the relationship, friendship or the family member seems to stop pulling their weight. They start to get caught up in their own thing, get… Read more »
Split Chain may be in the midst of their first-ever North American tour, but they’re never too busy to drop new bangers.

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 »
