We recently got the amazing opportunity, to check out the new video for “Stone”, from Boston hard rock band , Cruel Miracle, you can watch the epic video for “Stone” below

You can also listen to “Stone “ , which is on their album “Steadfast” on Spotify Here , Apple Music Here

On its own, “Stone” from Cruel Miracle, is an epic hard rock groove that is straight up phenomenal. Now we get a blazing video to go along with it…… It’s like we won the freaking lottery!!!

Finally getting the video treatment it deserves, the riff-fueled “Stone” is the lead track to Cruel Miracle’s recent album Steadfast, a piledriver of a record that first dropped last summer. The video for “Stone” was created by the band members themselves, featuring the four dudes rocking out in its rehearsal space as colorful and animated visuals bloom with each hook and spin like a hypnotic pinwheel.

The band shares : ‘Stone’ is a story about perseverance – staying strong while remaining true to yourself,” the band declares, speaking on the new release as a cohesive voice of one. “In typical Cruel Miracle fashion, one of us brought some riffs and then we all worked on the structure and arrangements. This was first created as a post-pandemic tune, so the feel was based on the struggles of the time and the battle against our personal demons.” 

The DIY video for “Stone” was created by the band members themselves, featuring the four dudes rocking out in its rehearsal space as colorful and animated visuals bloom with each hook and spin like a hypnotic pinwheel. It’s the band’s visual follow-up to last year’s “Wicked Ways [1999]” video, which dropped, appropriately, on the Fourth of July. 

But the latest dose of video fireworks from Cruel Miracle is more stripped-down in nature, allowing the song to expand and take hold while showcasing the band doing what it does best – rocking the eff out.  

“We spent time looking at videos from the ‘60s all the way to the mid-’90s – where most of us cut our teeth,” they add. “There was no real theme or direction, we just wanted something kind of random and psychedelic. We also wanted to showcase ourselves playing in our own environment. It all goes back to the visuals and feel of that old-school rock scene – capturing that hard rock essence and delivering an accurate representation of what Cruel Miracle is today

Cruel Miracle, is exactly the high octane rock and roll that is needed in today’s musical landscape. Full throttle and full speed ahead . Music needs to be a loud and thunderous experience and Cruel Miracle, is just the right band to lead the charge .

Cruel Miracle is:

Charlie Black: Main vocals and bass 

Joe Cook: Drums and backing vocals 

Aaron Leonard: Keys and backing vocals 

Doug Hendler: Guitars

We recently had the incredible opportunity to check out the latest single , “Dig Down”, from Chicago, based hard rock band , Dark Sun.

You can listen to “Dig Down“ on Spotify Here, Apple Music, Here

Dark Sun ( Tristan Sheedlo, vocals,guitar , Luke Sheedlo, drums) brilliantly takes the familiar hard rock/ grunge sound and makes into a sound and vibe that is all their own.

As soon as we heard the opening riff on “Dig Down” we were totally mesmerized. Dark Sun , has crafted an absolute gem .

The soaring vocals are perfectly placed between perfect and memorable melodies that ring in your soul, long after the music has ended . We have a feel that this Dark Sun is freaking phenomenal live and in person.

The level of musicianship with Dark Sun is absolutely off the charts . They are a well oiled rock band that appears unstoppable. We can’t wait to see what they do next

FEED THE BEAST Offers Up Thunderous New Single, “Tombs Underneath The Tombs “ , New LP, “Mercy”, Out May 23rd

We are beyond excited to report that hardcore foursome, Feed The Beast, will be releasing their latest album, “Mercy”, their debut for Futureless. You can check out the earth shaking new single “Tombs Underneath The Tombs” Here

Feed the Beast’s history has been cultivated via years of consistently releasing recordings and fortifying a considerable presence across venues in their western Los Angeles and Santa Monica locales. Mercy signals their return from a hiatus with a reshuffled roster and new record label affiliation in tow. The group has seized the opportunity to not only elevate its presence, but also expand its latitude of sonic expression, melding the time-tested heaviness with occasions for experimentation and engaging in novel musical niches.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Nick Jett (of Terror) in under a week, Mercy is a compendium of punishing yet precise heavy cuts, deftly interspersed with melody, space, dynamics and syncopated rhythms. Original members James Hutchinson (vocals) and Nicholas Garcia (guitar) penned Mercy across a span of a few months with former Feed the Beast members Tye Trujillo (bass) and Patrick Chavez (drums).

“Nick’s the man,” says Garcia of Mercy’sproducer. “He’s very efficient and it still blows my mind that we tracked seven songs in three or four days. It’s very cool to get to work with someone who is very professional.”

With Trujillo and Chavez leaving to focus on other projects (Trujillo plays in Suicidal Tendencies, filling his father Robert’s spot that became available when he joined Metallica, while Chavez plays with OTTTO), Hutchinson and Garcia retooled the lineup, recruiting new band members Julian Lincona (bass) and Billy Greenwood (drums) to support Mercy, which is slated for a release on Futureless in May 2025.

Mercy’s first single is “Tombs Underneath The Tombs,” of which Hutchinson says is about “being content with and even embracing hell, which is a fate worse than hell itself. It takes on the perspective of an incredibly narcissistic individual who believes they are smarter and stronger than everyone, including creation itself.”

“Tombs Underneath Tombs” from, Feed The Beast, hits like an explosive and precise bolt of lightning. We are in absolute awe of the powerful and breathtaking sound.

We are absolutely ready for more music from , Feed The Beast .

French Noise Rockers Reveal Black Flag Live Session ‘I WANT TO WRITE A GOOD SONG’

Taken From Their 2022 Second Album Everybody Knows Mickey

We recently had the amazing opportunity to check out Hossegor, France-based noise rockers , This Will Destroy Your Ears, as they reveal their prolific Black Flag Live Session, performance of “I Want To Write A Good Song” (Spoiler Alert: This song and band absolutely rock!)

You can watch the performance of “I Want To Write A Good Song” below

You can listen to “I WANT TO WRITE A GOOD SONG “Here

Often times when you hear a particular band or a particular song it feels important, as if the universe is saying “Hey check this out!, this is special” We definitely felt this after watching This Will Destroy Your Ears, perform, “I WANT TO WRITE A GOOD SONG”

We were absolutely captivated by the powerful performance from , This Will Destroy Your Ears, we were literally hanging on every note/word

The session comes ahead of the official announcement of a new album due for release in 2025, with further details to be revealed over the coming months

‘I WANT TO WRITE A GOOD SONG’ is taken from the band’s second album Everybody Knows Mickey, released in 2022 on respected French label À Tant Rêver Du Roi (FR), Cowboy À La Mode (FR) and Brutalist Records (UK).

The album was produced and recorded by Henri D’Armancourt and TWDYE at pARPAINg, Angresse, mixed by Alex Greaves at Nave Studio, Leeds, and mastered by Carl Saff at Saff Mastering, Chicago.

Conceptually, ‘I WANT TO WRITE A GOOD SONG’ is built around a series of song titles the band would have liked to have written, including 31 influences from the Pixies‘ ‘Debaser‘ to the Talking Heads‘ ‘Psycho Killer‘, not forgetting Johnny Cash‘s ‘Man in Black‘, The Murder Capital‘s ‘Green & Blue’ and IDLES‘ fabulous ‘Colossus‘—a noisy anthem to the artists TWDYE love so much.

Filmed by Loula Productions (already responsible for the group’s excellent ‘Coffin For Two’ video on a fishing boat) at the Black Flag in Seignosse in the middle of winter, this live session was conceived as an obvious counterpoint to the exercise. The trio had fun simulating an audition organised by the bar to find a house band for the coming summer, finding themselves in front of a meagre five people who are less than enthused (the zooms on the faces of the protagonists speak for themselves…) while they hammer through the single as if nothing had happened.

If you want to see the band live with more than five people in the room, you can choose between the two French dates in March, or wait until the band announce their Autumn 2025 UK tour dates later this year. 

This Will Destroy Your Ears, is a band that you need to pay attention to. We can’t wait to see what they do next.

Live Dates:

05.03.25 – Bordeaux – Rock School Barbey – Les Inrocks Festival 2025 (w/ Fat White Family) 
07.03.25 – Annecy – Festival Hors-Pistes (w/ Shannon Wright and Quentin Sauvé

Mumbai-based metal titans Zygnema pay homage to their city in music video for single “Grind”

We recently had the unbelievable opportunity to check out the new video for “Grind” from Mumbai based metal band Zygnema and… it is freaking amazing.

You can watch the epic video for “Grind” below

You can also check out their album “Iconic” on Spotify Here Apple Music Here and on Amazon Music Here

So full disclosure… we had never heard of zygnema, before we checked them out today ( boy were we missing out ! These guys freaking rock)

“Grind”, taken from their recent five-track EP ‘Iconic’, blends traditional Indian musical elements with modern groove metal, and centres itself around the band’s pride in their city and in their people. 

You can see and feel the incredible energy that Zygnema brings with their music and it is absolutely breathtaking. We were so taken while watching the video for “Grind”, that the hair on the back of our neck stood up.

Since the band formed in 2008, they’ve released two full length albums, leading them to win multiple awards at 2011, 2014 and 2016’s Rolling Stone Metal Awards, and have played slots at esteemed festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Inferno Metal Fest and they’ve headlined and co-headlined major festivals across India alongside bands such as Megadeath, Tesseract, Fear Factory, Behemoth, In Flames, Opeth and others.

Discussing the lyrical themes behind the track, the band state, “We are proud of the city that we live in. It has made us who we are. The city is what it is because of the people and their hustle and GRIND to live a good life despite the challenges they’re faced with. This is what inspired us to write and dedicate this song to the city and to the amazing people of this city.”

The accompanying music video highlights the day to day grind it takes to live in the hustling, bustling city of Mumbai. Discussing what they hoped to achieve with the video, the band say, “The People of Mumbai are resilient, and are having fun grinding it out in their day to day lives. The grind of Mumbai spares no one. It doesn’t matter what strata or class you belong to; Nobody is complaining. At the end of the day, they have fun and celebrate their achievements. That’s what we want to showcase through our music video.”

You can’t sleep on Zygnema and their amazingly epic new video for “Grind” It is a true work of art.
