NOLA thrash metal legends EXHORDER laid waste to fans last week with the release of their searing new single ‘Hallowed Sound.’ Today, the band has revealed a video, in which they discuss the new track. The band’s first album in 27 years, »Mourn The Southern Skies,« is due out September 20th from Nuclear Blast Records. EXHORDER will kick off their North American tour next week. Watch the ‘Hallowed Sound’ discussion here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp02o69vIc8
Guitarist Vinnie LaBella comments, “‘Hallowed Sound’ is one that keeps in the tradition of »The Law« era with some new twists and turns. Mid-tempo/slow, heavy grooves with a mean yet soulful Kyle Thomas singing about our beloved NOLA music history, and future!”

The New Orleans natives made their long-awaited return last year with a string of reunion shows and festival appearances, and now are launching a full-on comeback with the impending release of »Mourn The Southern Skies.« Recorded by Duane Simoneaux at OCD Recording and working with producer Jens Bogren (AMON AMARTH, OPETH, SEPULTURA) at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden for mixing and mastering, EXHORDER is armed with more fury and vigor than bands half their age, concocting an intoxicating amalgam of old school thrashers and groovers blended with a modern, mature approach.
From the opening of the first track of ‘Mourn The Southern Skies,’ listeners are reminded immediately just what EXHORDER is exactly through the spitting rage ‘My Time’ forces upon their ears. It is evident that the anger remains prevalent, with perhaps a different point of view that younger men could not possibly have understood on earlier albums. Sasha Horn’s energy and punk influence fire the engines, with Jason VieBrooks locking down the foundation tightly. Vinnie La Bella once again has proven himself “The Godfather” of thrash riffs, which cut through like a high speed drill bit thanks to the stellar production. A lead guitar face-off in the solo not only exhibits Vinnie’s sometimes under-appreciated skills as a shredder, but also showcases newcomer Marzi Montazeri (“The High Priest Of Distortion”). If anyone ever doubted EXHORDER’s skill set regarding guitar soloing, those days are gone forever! And finally, as if riding a runaway garbage truck with fireworks exploding off of its roof top, Kyle Thomas invokes venom and energy with familiar passion. All in all, the truth is apparent – EXHORDER mean business once again!
EXHORDER’s founding guitarist Vinnie La Bella says of their resurgence, “You can plot and scheme for years, even decades (as is in our case). You can work hard, keep grinding, bang the square peg in the round hole until it looks somewhat presentable. But sometimes you just need to let time tell you, it’s time. EXHORDER has its own soul. And it pokes me in the ribs ever so often as if to remind me, ‘Hey asshole, we ain’t done yet!’ Kyle and myself had a dream as teenagers. And as cliche as it may seem, we never woke up from it. EXHORDER has always crept in and out of our lives. So no magic bullet or formula here. It was only a simple matter of time before the right guys, the right songs, the right manager/label would finally come to the party. It’s been damn near 35 years since we first uttered the name, EXHORDER. 27 years since our last record, and a whole lot of breaking up and making up in between. So why is this time different? Why start again at 50 years of age instead of retiring? Simple… because it’s finally TIME!”
EXHORDER’s enduring legacy began in the mid-80’s when they defined the sound of Louisiana thrash and groove metal. Their initial formation was short lived, lasting nearly a decade with two critically acclaimed, classic albums, but their impact on the metal genre can be felt through a generation of bands that followed. EXHORDER dissolved in the mid-90’s but briefling reunited in 2011. Now, the band has returned to reclaim their throne of NOLA metal with their awaited new album and an all-star line-up that includes Kyle Thomas (founding vocalist; TROUBLE, HEAVY AS TEXAS), Vinnie La Bella (founding guitarist), Marzi Montazeri (guitarist; ex-SUPERJOINT RITUAL, ex-PHIL ANSELMO & THE ILLEGALS, HEAVY AS TEXAS), Jason VieBrooks (bassist since 2011; HEATHEN, GRIP INC.) and Sasha Horn (drummer; FORBIDDEN).
EXHORDER will support the new record with a North American tour with KATAKLYSM in September (watch a trailer for the tour here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27xQVhNB6Rk) and a few EU/UK shows in October. Dates are below.

San Diego quintet AS I LAY DYING rise together on their seventh full-length and debut for Nuclear Blast, the aptly titled »Shaped By Fire« will be released on September 20th. Today, the band releases the third album trailer where they discuss the process of writing ‘My Own Grave’ and the concept behind the music video that was directed by Josh Knoff, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpd6OdRa7Ow
Guitarist Phil Sgrosso comments, “‘My Own Grave’ feels like a really special song for us considering we hadn’t put out any material in seven years. We knew that we had to put out something that could stand alone because it actually was standing alone, being just a single as opposed to a whole album that was backing it up. There’s a pretty conscious effort amongst all of us to include kind of all the elements that define our sound with every instrument.”
In about a week, AS I LAY DYING will kick off the their »Shaped By Fire« world tour. The trek will include 2 dates in Russia before heading across Europe with CHELSEA GRIN, UNEARTH and FIT FOR A KING. Tickets are now on sale at http://asilaydying.com/tour.

Two weeks ago, Swedish-American power metal supergroup NORTHTALE played their very first live show at Sabaton Open Air in Falun, Sweden. Now the band is set to fly over to Japan to perform their next two shows as part of the Evoken Festival in Tokyo this weekend. In anticipation of these gigs, the quintet has launched a new guitar playthrough for the track ‘Sirens’ Fall,’ taken off their debut album »Welcome To Paradise,« which saw the light of day on August 2, 2019 through Nuclear Blast. Watch now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxngpECcgus
Guitarist Bill Hudson says, “We’d like to thank our fans for the overwhelming response we received after our first show ever at Sabaton Open Air in Falun, Sweden two weeks ago. We felt the love and now we are ready to bring our music to Japan! This week we’ll be playing two shows at Evoken Fest in Tokyo on August 31st and September 1st and we can’t wait to see each and every fan. We read your messages and are very much looking forward to this. Besides the two shows, I’ll be doing a guitar clinic and Q&A at the Super Guitar Shop Big Boss in Tokyo on September 3rd and in preparation for this, I present you with the guitar playthrough for a fan favorite, the song ‘Sirens’ Fall’!”
Singer Christian Eriksson states, “The first show for NORTHTALE is now done! Everything went exactly the way we hoped. A million thanks to the big crowd, who despite the late hour and the cold weather, supported us at our show. Now we’re doing the last preparations to invade Japan and Evoken Fest. NORTHTALE 100% live.”

NORTHTALE – behind this illustrious name lies nothing less than a Swedish-American power metal supergroup! Formed by guitarist Bill Hudson (TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA, I AM MORBID, ex-U.D.O./DIRKSCHNEIDER), vocalist Christian Eriksson (ex-TWILIGHT FORCE), and drummer Patrick Johansson (ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ex-W.A.S.P. etc.) in late 2017, the line-up was quickly completed by Mikael Planefeldt (bass) as well as keyboardist Jimmy Pitts.
Delivering a load of (largely) fast-paced anthems, imbued with Eriksson’s soaring vocals, the band’s 13-song debut album »Welcome To Paradise« will not only please fans of titans such as HELLOWEEN, SONATA ARCTICA, GAMMA RAY, STRATOVARIUS among others, but draw new fans to the genre too. The record was produced by NORTHTALE themselves, whilst Jonas Kjellgren (Blacklounge Studios, Sweden) took care of mixing and mastering duties. Its artwork was designed by renowned rock/metal artist Felipe Machado (BLIND GUARDIAN, IRON SAVIOR, BRAINSTORM, KAMBRIUM etc.).

WALKWAYS is:
Ran Yerushalmi | Vocals
Bar Caspi | Guitar
Yoni Menner | Guitar
Avihai Levy | Bass
Priel Horesh | Drums
Following the 2013 debut album »Safe In Sound«, WALKWAYS are ready to break out in 2019 with their second full length album – »Bleed Out, Heal Out«.
A genre-bending record, displaying a wide array of songs that come from personal experiences, to bring out all the causes and emotions that inspired the texts which tell the familiar stories of dealing with the natural impulses of the human mind, and maintaining an aware and controlled mind.
The album journeys through six chapters.
It begins with a heart break and a deep disappointment, goes into a struggle with the urge to avenge and let a darker side take over, from there comes the chapter of release and unchaining from the burden of trauma. Then comes the step of letting someone new in to your life, the stage of loving again. Following that is a contemplation of the outside world – being horrified by our ways as human beings (wars, environmental pollution and animal abuse) and a strong desire to correct and evolve as one and a shout out to change as a whole.
To end the album, there is a recurring chapter of convergence due to the shock from the outside world, which is again flooded with great disappointment and a kind of despair from the current situation, but the deep desire to correct and transcend the internal and external chaos is always preserved.

L – KJ Melgoza (CYHRA) | R – Janica Lönn (BRYMIR)
BATTLE BEAST, the Finnish heavy metal sextet led by front-woman Noora Louhimo, rounded off their 2019 summer festival season with much-celebrated shows at Summer Breeze Open Air (Dinkelsbühl, Germany) as well as Metal On The Hill (Graz, Austria) less than two weeks ago. Watch the aftermovie here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs7JtHCN1po
But before embarking on a US tour (w/ KAMELOT & SONATA ARCTICA among others) next week, the group has announced the support acts for their second »No More Hollywood Endings« European headline tour, which will lead them throughout the continent once again in November & December. Main support will come from modern melodic metal group CYHRA, while opening support on the first 7 dates will be provided by Finnish epic melodic death metallers BRYMIR, whose line-up features BATTLE BEAST guitarist Joona Björkroth. Additionally, a show at F-Haus (Jena, Germany) on December 9 has been added to the tour routing. The full itinerary can be seen below.
Noora comments, “It’s such a pleasure to have CYHRA and BRYMIR to fulfill our evenings of powerful metal party. With their energetic and entertaining shows, they’ll definitely make sure that the audience is going to be hyped through the whole evening and make the stage burning hot for BATTLE BEAST. Be sure to grab your tickets NOW for the »NMHE« EU tour part 2 and go to battlebeast.fi/tour. Let’s kick some aaasssss!”
CYHRA vocalist Jake E. states, “After doing a couple of shows together with BATTLE BEAST earlier this year, it’s a great honor for us to be invited to tag along with this amazing band of incredible musicians on a full tour across Europe, Ireland, and the UK! We can’t wait to play songs from our new album live, and for those that liked our first album… let me tell you this: you won’t be disappointed!”
BRYMIR add, “We are hyped to finally get our show on the road with our new album »Wings Of Fire.« We met so many fans at our first ever German show at Summer Breeze that we can’t wait to come back for more gigs. Catch us on tour with long-time friends BATTLE BEAST & the awesome CYHRA! See you soon, Sweden & Germany!”

Modern melodic metal highflyers CYHRA are happy to announce that they have signed a worldwide deal with Nuclear Blast records. After the release of their critically acclaimed debut »Letters To Myself« in 2017 (that brought the band a nomination as ‘Best Debut Album’ at last years’ Metal Hammer Awards), the quartet toured extensively with SABATON, KREATOR and BATTLE BEAST and they are now ready to reach out for new shores.
Just recently, the combo consisting of singer Jake E (ex-AMARANTHE), guitarists Jesper Strömblad (ex-IN FLAMES) and Euge Valovirta (ex-SHINING) as well as drummer Alex Landenburg (RHAPSODY, KAMELOT) have finished the recording, mixing and mastering of their sophomore full-length record, and while the title and release date are still confidential, you can already prepare your ears for the first single to drop very soon!
The band comments:
“Finally we can share this awesome news with the world! We’re beyond excited to start a new chapter in Cyhra’s career and to start working with THE No:1 metal label in the world. This will be a life changing experience”.
In addition, CYHRA have announced a European tour together with their new label mates BATTLE BEAST that will kick off in Sweden on November 15th – tickets are already on sale. Catch the band live on one of the following dates:
