Prepare to delve even deeper into the haunting world of Ice Nine Kills‘ acclaimed 2018 studio album, The Silver Scream. Introducing the bone-chilling companion book, ‘The Silver Scream,’ which takes you behind the scenes of a true-crime tragedy drenched in blood, masterminded by the rockstar murderer and Ice Nine Kills vocalist, Spencer Charnas.

Following the release of her debut solo single, Jen Razavi, the co-frontwoman of The Bombpops, has issued the accompanying music video for “Saw In Half.” Razavi‘s debut track, produced by Will Yip (known for his work with Circa Survive, Turnstile, and La Dispute), is a hauntingly atmospheric showcase that beautifully draws out her tenderness and vulnerability.

Razavi is acting as the… Read more »

After a five year hiatus, the metalcore outfit blessthefall are BACK with a brand new single out today via Rise Records. “Wake The Dead” starts immediately with a guttural scream before dropping into heavy guitars and powerful drums. The chorus showcases beautiful, clean vocals as per usual for a blessthefall song. The track is everything you’d expect from the band, in the best way. Sometimes when a heavy band returns after a long hiatus, they tend to change their sound a bit to be slightly more appealing to a wider audience. Certainly nothing wrong with that, but blessthefall have stuck… Read more »
