Bravewords Spotlights Night Of The Snake’s New Single and Video “Lips Like Venom” - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bravewords Spotlights Night Of The Snake’s New Single and Video “Lips Like Venom”

Bravewords has thrown major support behind Toronto metalcore hitters Night Of The Snake , featuring the band’s brand new single and video “Lips Like Venom” on their highly trafficked platform. For a DIY band running on pure grit, this kind of spotlight hits like a shot of rocket fuel.

“Lips Like Venom” delivers a tight blast of melodic brutality with gothic atmosphere, precision riffing and breakdowns built to fold a pit in half. Formed in 2007, Night Of The Snake stand firmly rooted in the spirit of the mid 2000s metalcore boom while pushing their sound into a sharper and more modern strike.

Frontmen Remi and Alex drive the song with a dual vocal attack that swings from emotional lift to full throat savagery. Their writing digs into the human condition, the natural world and the darker corners of life. Bassist Dani Blood brings the low end power that keeps the whole track chest rattling, while drummer Kyle Craib fires off tight, high energy percussion that turns the song into a straight up weapon.

The single was produced, mixed and mastered by vocalist Remi Monroe , capturing the band’s vision without outside hands. The band sums up the tone with one chilling line. “From beneath my breath, dragged in her horror.”

Bravewords’ feature is a massive boost for a band with no label, no management and no intention of slowing down.

“Lips Like Venom” is out now
Watch the official video and check out the Bravewords feature.

The Zach Moonshine Show Turns Black Friday Into a Full Scale Metal Riot - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Zach Moonshine Show Turns Black Friday Into a Full Scale Metal Riot

Black Friday is usually a battlefield for cheap TVs and busted knuckles, but this year the real action wasn’t in any checkout line. It was blasting through Metal Devastation Radio. The night kicked off with the Battle of the Bands top six blowing the doors clean off. Farewell From The Gallows, ANTISAINT, Decrypter, Eden On Fire, Verses and Saturnine Sorrows hit the airwaves like they were looking for a rematch with the apocalypse. No breaks. No mercy. Just pure volume shaking loose whatever was left of the week.

And that was just the warm up.

Once the dust settled, The Zach Moonshine Show Black Friday Special rolled in and finished the job. No interviews. No guests. No handholding. Just me firing off brand new heavy tracks while the rest of the country tripped over themselves chasing bargains. This is how Black Friday was meant to sound. Loud, reckless and honest.

The real kicker? The crowd showed up in force. A wild 119,711 metal maniacs tuned in live, turning the broadcast into something closer to a digital stampede. That kind of support keeps the underground alive, kicking and refusing to apologize for a damn thing.
