After re-signing with Nuclear Blast in early 2021, Finnish heavy metal sextet Battle Beast is once again getting ready to unleash its force upon the world in the shape of its brand new masterpiece Circus Of Doom. The album is set to be released on January 21, 2022 via Nuclear Blast Records, and in true Battle Beast fashion, the 10 tracks blend true heavy metal with pop and rock-vibes, paired with Noora Louhimo's unique voice. The band has shared the official music video for the second single ‘Eye Of The Storm’, directed by Tobias Andersson. Check it out below. Guitarist Joona Björkroth comments on the single: "'Eye Of The Storm' is a song about the one thing that keeps your boat floating when the storms of the world try to sink you. It's an empowering and uplifting song that works best with the volume turned way up to 11, so make sure to crank it up!" [via Blabbermouth]
Florentine alternative metal band Violet Blend have just revealed a music video for their new single ‘Rock DJ’, as well as announcing the availability of pre-orders for their upcoming sophomore album Demons. ‘Rock DJ’ is the first single from the band's new album which is set to drop worldwide on April 1, 2022. The music video was directed by Angelo Mura. "’Rock DJ’ speaks about a carefree dream where music appears only as a fun, primordial sense of joy and freedom, free from the constraints of the music business" says lead vocalist and composer Giada Celeste Chelli. "The video was shot in a real house and we set up all the scenes and instruments in every room for every shot. We had to be careful to not move objects and to keep the same position for musicians while shooting, to obtain the effect that people appeared and disappeared magically. This effect is very important for the meaning of the video. It symbolizes the struggle that everyone must go through to affirm their own identities and desires (represented by the musicians and the music), during the flow of daily life (represented by the rooms of the house and the different phases of life). Drummer Michel Agostini adds, "In the video, Giada goes through all the phases of a woman's life while she's trying to free herself from stereotypes and social constraints. She is living her normal life of everyday and she's fighting for the music. During this trip called life, you may have doubts, obstacles, and defeats. You'll have to fight for every little conquest you make, but it is worth it!"
UK death metal/metalcore band Venom Prison recently announced their new album, Erebos, due out February 4 via Century Media. They have also released the album's second single, ‘Pain of Oizys’ and its video. The band and video director Thomas Coe-Brooker spoke about it via press release: “The second offering by Venom Prison is a cold room with a dusty piano. It’s a softly sung war hymn with finger-picked guitar. It’s a ship in calm seas watching for the storm on the Horizon. ‘Pain Of Oizys’ will lull you into a false sense of security. Unique to Venom Prisons previous releases the instrumentation is not what you’d expect. Glassy reverberated guitars and cold piano notes lay the foundation for clean sung harmonies. ‘Pain Of Oizys’ climaxes with synthy leads, strings and aggressive vocal chants. Leaving them feeling empowered with the lyrical conclusion whilst the intensity of the song winds down,” states VENOM PRISON guitarist Ben Thomas. Guitarist Ash Gray adds, “The song was written in so many ways, structures and styles, it was only until it became the form you’re hearing now that it was a big realisation that Venom Prison found something different, special and very in our comfort zone even if this isn’t what listeners are expecting or used to at this point. We’ve always expressed as a band that we would not create the same records and songs over and over again so this is us sticking to our word.” “The song is about coming to terms with depression, trauma and PTSD. Accepting it as part of who I am and rather living life with it than not living at all. It’s about finding strength in suffering and not giving up. Every day is a new day, every day comes with its struggles but ultimately I don’t want to bow to these demons in my head, I wish for it to end and to find peace even in the most difficult of situations,” states lead vocalist Larissa Stupar. Director Thomas Coe-Brooker adds, “This was a really special video for me, collaborating with my amazing wife to create something that mirrored the song's juxtaposition of fragility and power, as well as the lyrical themes of finding your own way to deal with inner demons. I liked the idea of leading the viewer to believe that the character was destined to cause harm on herself when really she’s finding liberation and release, ending on a moment that suggests ‘a new day’, to be interpreted however the viewer sees fit.” [via Brooklyn Vegan]
