FFO: Paradise Lost, A Perfect Circle, Gojira, Nine Inch Nails

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

'DieHumane' Release New Single 'Stardust Blues' from 'The Grotesque' Album & Announce New Management With EMG! 

Extreme Management Group , (EMG) Senior Artist Manager  Damien Mitchell , would like to introduce and welcome, hailing from, Boys Town USA, Genera-Melting, Melodic, Jazz-Infused Groove, Mood & Atmosphere Inducing, Death Metal Master’s,  DieHumane,  to the EMG roster!!

DieHumane,  features an all-star line-up of serious heavy hitters: formerly of Anova Skyway, Garret West, vocals, legendary, Exodus, Guitarist, Rick Hunolt, Videographer, Joshua Vargas on Bass, Rhythm Guitars, Piano, and programming & Greg Hilligiest - Keys, Programming.

Having released their critically acclaimed full-length album “ The Grotesque,’’  in 2023, on legendary producer Ulrich Wilde's label Wurmroup, DieHumane has now partnered with Extreme Management Group and is debuting a brand new video alongside their single,  “Stardust Blues," the final single from "The Grotesque." 

Check out the video on YouTube and subscribe!



Commenting on their new video/single: "This is the last music video from "The Grotesque," it’s actually the first one we shot, but fits in nicely with the visual and artistic aesthetic established for "The Grotesque." 

Commenting on the future Josh Vargas had this to say:
"We recently recorded new songs with some guest vocalists for a yet-to-be-titled EP. We’ve got Chuck Billy of Testament , and former Mushroomhead vocalist, Jeffrey Nothin g. Will Hunt from Evanescence plays drums on the upcoming tracks.  We have a lot of stuff coming up. We've recorded some collab tracks for an EP. We're getting ready to start playing live next year. We honestly haven't ever really stopped recording. There's a lot going on that we can't speak on just yet. The new stuff we've been recording perfectly picks up where the record left off, but has a heavier edge to it and is even more abstract.”

Commenting on the partnership, the band had this to say:

“On EMG: "Good managers are one thing, but a manager that’s willing to work with a band and truly assist them in realizing their artistic vision is a whole other. EMG’s commitment to the latter is exactly why we’re here. DieHumane at its foundation is all about doing something with its own artistic fingerprint, whether it’s musically, visually, or our approach to playing live. We believe EMG is the perfect home for us."

  EMG Senior Artist Manager Damien Mitchell states:

“Excited is an understatement about the opportunity to work with,  DieHumane ! Working with an all-star band of this caliber is a real ‘pinch-me-is-this-really-happening,’ kind-of-moment in my career. DieHumane wrote an album that feels like a mental breakdown and ends with a glimmer of hope. Their lyrics tackle issues such as loss and isolation during the backdrop of the pandemic, that is where “The Grotesque” as a concept album thematically came from, so I cannot wait to see what we can accomplish together!”

  DieHumane, i s an absolute must for fans of: Paradise Lost, A Perfect Circle, Gojira, & Nine Inch Nails ,’   this is a band that swims about as far away from the other fish as it gets. Imagine if Celtic Frost got into a car crash with A Perfect Circle, Nine Inch Nails, and Type-O-Negative while listening to Pink Floyd on the radio, and that crash sent them barreling down a hill to plow through a jazz band that was playing in the parking lot of a Gojira concert. That's DieHumane! DieHumane is heavily rooted in mood and atmosphere, from the brooding to the cathartic, from the hopeless to hopeful. Love them or hate them, it's a musical ride that you can only get from them!"

  DieHumane , will be discharging their musical performance-art-like sermon on a stage near you very soon, Stay tuned!"

Fans can look forward to the album dropping on June 21st via Sumerian Records, with pre-orders available now.

Vocalist and guitarist Morgan Lander expressed her excitement about the new single, saying, "The excitement is palpable in anticipation of our forthcoming album release, with the unleashing of our latest offering ‘One Foot In The Grave’. It’s a feisty, high-energy song about coming back from the dead and rising from the ashes so to speak, paralleling our real life experiences as of late. Letting go of the demons of the past to begin anew is something that resonates with us deeply!"

Kittie's new album, Fire, can be pre-ordered now, featuring a variety of exclusive merch bundles, including limited-edition vinyl, t-shirts, cassette tapes, and more. Fans can choose from the following bundles, each including a digital download of the album:

This was followed by 'We Are Shadows', and the band announced a series of exclusive headline shows across the US and Canada in April. Their explosive live performance at the Sick New World festival in Las Vegas set the stage for the announcement of Fire and the release of their third single, 'Vultures'. Kittie’s latest tracks have collectively garnered 1.8 million cross-platform streams and nearly 2 million YouTube views.

About Kittie:
Kittie first burst onto the scene in 1999 with their debut album Spit, becoming a notable force in the nu-metal movement. Over the years, they evolved into a full-fledged metal powerhouse, with later albums like In The Black (2009) and I've Failed You (2011) showcasing a darker and more mature sound. After an "indefinite hiatus" following their 2011 tour, Kittie’s future was uncertain, punctuated only by a hometown show in London, Ontario in 2017 and the release of the documentary Kittie: Origins/Evolutions in 2018.

Now, thirteen years and 12.6 million career streams later, Kittie is back with a vengeance. The band—comprising Morgan Lander (vocals/guitar), Mercedes Lander (drums/backing vocals), Tara McLeod (guitar), and Ivy Vujic (bass)—has reunited and signed with Sumerian Records. Produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Rush, Alice In Chains, Korn), Fire showcases Kittie’s growth in songwriting, lyrical content, and overall sonic brutality, heralding a new era for the band.

Kittie Are:

    Morgan Lander (vocals/guitar)
    Mercedes Lander (drums/backing vocals)
    Tara McLeod (guitar)
    Ivy Vujic (bass)

Fans can stream 'One Foot In The Grave' and watch the official music video on the band's platforms. With Fire set to release on June 21st, Kittie is poised to reclaim their place at the forefront of the metal scene.

NILE Unleashes Ferocious New Single “Chapter for Not Being Hung Upside Down on a Stake in the Underworld and Made to Eat Feces by the Four Apes” - @thebeast

NILE Unleashes Ferocious New Single “Chapter for Not Being Hung Upside Down on a Stake in the Underworld and Made to Eat Feces by the Four Apes”

World-renowned American death metal icons NILE are back in 2024 with their highly-anticipated 10th album, The Underworld Awaits Us All, set for release on August 23 via Napalm Records. In celebration of this announcement, NILE has unveiled the album’s first single, "Chapter for Not Being Hung Upside Down on a Stake in the Underworld and Made to Eat Feces by the Four Apes," accompanied by a gripping official music video.



This new track is a testament to NILE's mastery of brutal technical death metal, blending killer screams and gutturals with intricate riffs and relentless drumming. The song draws inspiration from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, specifically its 181st chapter, and showcases the band’s unique ability to infuse their music with Egyptological themes.

NILE’s latest opus, The Underworld Awaits Us All, highlights the extreme talents of each band member: founding mastermind/guitarist Karl Sanders, drum virtuoso George Kollias, vocalists/guitarists Brian Kingsland and Zach Jeter, and bassist Dan Vadim Von. Produced and recorded at Sanders’ own Serpent Headed Studios in Greenville, South Carolina, the album benefits from the expert mixing and mastering of Vile Nilotic Rites engineer Mark Lewis (known for his work with Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, and Whitechapel).

The album art, created by Michał 'Xaay' Loranc, ties in seamlessly with the band’s thematic focus on the cycle of life and judgment at its end. This visual representation complements the auditory assault delivered by the album’s tracks, each of which pushes the boundaries of NILE’s technical prowess and artistic expression.

Opening with “Stelae of Vultures,” the album sets a fierce tone with dissonant guitar chords and supernatural drumming, paving the way for the chaos that follows. The single “Chapter for Not Being Hung Upside Down on a Stake in the Underworld and Made to Eat Feces by the Four Apes” serves as a brutal centerpiece, while tracks like “To Strike with Secret Fang” blend low-end punishment with blackened death metal influences.

Standout tracks such as “Naqada II Enter the Golden Age” and “Overlords of the Black Earth” introduce thrash and fusion elements, as well as real human choirs, adding new dimensions to NILE’s sound. The album’s pinnacle burner, “Under the Curse of the One God,” combines sinister atmospherics with breakneck pacing and vicious riff acrobatics, showcasing Kollias’s extreme drumming and razor-sharp soloing from all three guitarists.

With 11 pummeling tracks and intricate interludes, The Underworld Awaits Us All proves that NILE remains at the forefront of extreme metal, even after 30 years. This album is a technical tour-de-force, blending full-tilt speed and ferocious musicality, and solidifies NILE’s position as a band that continues to bleed metal for their fans as long as the sands of time allow.



Release Date: August 23, 2024

Tracklist:
1    Stelae of Vultures
2    Chapter for Not Being Hung Upside Down on a Stake in the Underworld and Made to Eat Feces by the Four Apes
3    To Strike with Secret Fang
4    Naqada II Enter the Golden Age
5    The Pentagrammathion of Nephren-Ka
6    Overlords of the Black Earth
7    Under the Curse of the One God
8    Doctrine of Last Things
9    True Gods of the Desert
10    The Underworld Awaits us All
11    Lament for the Destruction of Time

Karl Sanders - Guitar, Vocals, Keyboards, 
George Kollias - Drums
Brian Kingsland - Guitar, Vocals
Zach Jeter - Guitar, Vocals
Dan Vadim Von - Bass

A Day in Venice Erupts with "Feeling the Heat" - @thebeast

Italian band A Day in Venice and its leader Andrej Kralj have done it again with their latest album, “Feeling the Heat”. This hot new single is a fusion of the alternative rock and the lively post punk that brings to mind the sound of the nineties and yet, is innovative in its own right. 

As a nod to the liberating spirit of one of the most transformative decades of the 20th century, Feeling the Heat captures the primal desire to shed one’s social conditioning. It is not only an electrifying song but also an inspiring song for the voiceless people in the society. The track is more than just a song; it is a rallying cry for the fans to look forward to the album and get ready for it. 

A Day in Venice was created by Andrej Kralj and this enchanting audio experience was designed in the Sound Sail studio. This aspect is well illustrated in the “Feeling the Heat” album where the artist combines different genres in a very smooth manner. This single is full of energy, and people cannot help but move to it, encouraging them to be themselves and fight the system. 

As if that was not enough, speculations have been made regarding the music video of “Feeling the Heat”. Some people believe that it is a kind of a code that refers to the new album, which makes the watching process a kind of a game. Are you able to decode this? The fact that there is a video that is shrouded in so much mystery only makes one look forward to what is in store for them in A Day in Venice. 

With anticipation for the full album, “Feeling the Heat” remains an epitome of creativity and inculcation of the spirit of the nineties into the modern music. This release says that the future of A Day in Venice is as bright and fiery as the single.

Rocking Romance: Unveiling the Mystique of Dating a Metalhead - @thebeast

Photo by Evgeniy Smersh on Unsplash

Having things in common is an obvious benefit to any relationship. Interests, hobbies, preferences – if too many of these things are out of sync between two people, the chances of them sticking together for the long haul grow slim.

Yet, this doesn’t mean that a couple should share all their interests and hobbies. It’s perfectly normal for two people to have some different interests and preferences. In fact, it’s to be expected and can be beneficial – opposites attract too, after all, right?

As with all other things, this too is usually a matter of moderation. The gist, however, is that it’s perfectly normal for you not to share every one of your date’s interests. However, what do you do if one of said interests you don’t share is particularly… “loud,” both metaphorically and literally? And, more importantly, what if that interest is especially integral to your date’s lifestyle and personality?

Yes, we’re obviously talking about rock and metal music, so let’s try unveiling the mystique of dating a metalhead. 

1. No, you don’t have to be a metalhead or a rocker yourself


Music is obviously important to a metalhead. And, yes, your metalhead boyfriend or girlfriend will likely try to get you hooked on their favorite genre, band, or singer. However, this doesn’t mean you necessarily have to become a metalhead yourself or even like your date’s favorite musician.

A relationship with a metal fan can be just as successful and full of love even if you don’t share that one particular interest of theirs. However, for the relationship to be successful, you’ll certainly need to have a lot of other things in common. Every successful relationship relies greatly on the two parties having shared interests .

So, given how crucial music is to a metalhead, you’d probably need to share most of their other major interests if you’re missing this one.

2. No two metal fans are the same


Here, we use the terms “metalhead” and “metal fan” a lot, as if they describe a completely precise type of person. That’s not really the case, however – metalheads come in all different types, just like all other people.

Some metalheads are extroverted, loud, and full of energy, and others are quiet, gentle, and introverted. Some are out 16 hours a day for work and partying, while others work from home and rarely go out. Some love headbanging with others, while others prefer to appreciate music alone and with headphones.

All this is to say – if your date has “metalhead” in your bio, don’t necessarily rush to conclusions. It’s quite likely that their personality will surprise you in more ways than one.  

3. Metal fans are often incredibly emotional… but not all are emotionally intelligent


Metal music is full of more raw emotions than most other genres. That’s why we love it, after all. This usually means that most metalheads are quite emotional people, even if they often put on a tough front.

However, being emotional and being emotionally intelligent are not the same things. We’d love to think that metalheads are more emotionally intelligent on average than most other people – after all, that’s the point of all those beautiful lyrics, right?

However, even if that’s the case, there are still a lot of metal fans out there who lean more toward “emotional” than “emotionally intelligent.” Emotional intelligence can be tricky, after all, and many people who think you have it are, unfortunately, very far from anything resembling emotional intelligence.

In other words, make sure you get to know the person you’re dating well, as there is a non-zero chance that they don’t really understand the beautiful lyrics they are citing.

4. Many metalheads are open to various different types of relationships


Rock and metal fans aren’t exactly known as conformists. Indeed, most of these people thrive on finding the illogical gaps in society’s behavioral trends and going against the grain.

In regards to dating, this tendency means a metalhead is usually comfortable exploring various non-traditional dating and relationship approaches – open relationships, polygamy, long-distance relationships, mail order bride relationships through sites, such as BridesUniverse , and other types of relationships other people might deem as “peculiar.”

5. Going out all the time doesn’t make a metalhead an extrovert


Contrary to popular belief, not all metalheads go out to clubs, concerts, and festivals every weekend. Some do, while others prefer to go to concerts only on special occasions. More crucially, however, even a metal fan who goes out regularly isn’t necessarily an “extrovert.”

Many introverted metalheads have mastered the art of going solo. For many others, finding a significant other to go to clubs and concerts with is all the “socialization” they need.

6. There are dozens of different rock and metal genres – and many of them are quite different


Technically, we’d say there are hundreds of different genres of rock and metal, if not more. However, to keep things quick, simple, and sweet, we can hopefully agree that there are many dozens of different genres at the very least.

Why is this important for your dating endeavors? Well, because there is a mountain of difference between a Death metal fan, a Kawaii metal fan, and a Symphonic metal fan.

For many people who don’t listen to either rock or metal, the first association for “metal music” is “the guys that scream instead of singing.” Yet, not only is that not quite true even for Death and Black metal, but it’s incredibly far from true for many other genres of metal.

So, if you find someone cute, but you’re initially put off by the word “metal” in their bio, it’s a good idea to first ask them a couple of questions about their preferred genre before you swipe left.

7. Music is more than just “fun” for them


A key fact to remember for most metal fans is that metal is more than just “something fun to listen to.” For them, it’s a hobby, it’s a way to vent, it’s a way to socialize, and it’s an entire lifestyle.

As we said above, this doesn’t necessarily mean you have to become a metalhead yourself. And it doesn’t mean that you can’t have some requirements toward them (such as that they use headphones when you’re around). However, it does mean that your metalhead girlfriend or boyfriend will need you to respect their love for this music genre, as they quite literally see it as a part of themselves.

Wrapping up


Metal fans are some of the most awesome, emotional, and devoted people out there, and many of them make for the best possible romantic partners. As with any other type of person, of course, there are some peculiarities you might want to be conscious of when you get into a relationship with a metalhead.

However, as long as you’ve found a truly cool person to be with, their love for metal will not only not be an impediment to your relationship, but it will be an amazing spice to it instead.

Ether Fi Staking Explained - @thebeast

Ether Fi Staking Explained



Ether fi staking provides users with the opportunity to earn rewards and gain liquidity while preserving their ETH balance. It also allows them to participate in DeFi opportunities without losing their ETH investment.

Upon depositing ETH, users will receive CDCETH, a liquid derivative token, which can be traded or used as collateral. The platform will then further stake the deposited ETH through EigenLayer and return rewards to usefrs in the form of $eETH.

Liquidity



Liquidity is the ease with which an asset or investment can be converted into cash. It is important for staking because it helps to maximize yield. However, conventional staking procedures require complex software and hardware configurations, and users may have to wait for extended periods to access their deposited assets.

In addition, staking requires a validator to complete withdrawal requests, which poses unique counterparty risks. To address these issues, ether fi leverages EigenLayer to further stake deposited ETH and unlock its liquidity. This approach enables users to participate in multiple DeFi protocols and boosts capital efficiency while bolstering network security. This is a major step towards enabling more flexible DeFi innovation on Ethereum. Moreover, it offers higher rewards than traditional staking models. This is the reason why institutions are eyeing it as a potential alternative to their existing treasury management strategies.

Interoperability



Interoperability is a key part of the information technology ecosystem. It allows various systems to communicate effectively, leading to increased productivity. Interoperability also helps users understand the data they receive and how it relates to their business processes.

For example, interoperability makes it possible for medical professionals to share important patient health records (EHRs) with each other. This ensures that the right information is accessed by the right people, and reduces delays in treatment.

Similarly, interoperability facilitates the verification of Ethereum-based applications without requiring custodial ownership of ETH. Staking platforms like DappRadar offer analytical tools that allow investors to evaluate staking performance, including the risk profile of each pool. These insights can help investors make informed choices and maximize rewards. Interoperability is especially important in a decentralized environment.

Security



With Ethereum’s shift to Proof-of-Stake, users can no longer mine ETH, but must instead participate in the network’s staking infrastructure. This new economic model enables staking rewards and reduces network emissions, but it also carries several security risks.

The illiquid nature of staked ETH has led to concerns about centralization. For instance, some operators may collude to control the entire staking space and generate more rewards. Other security issues include smart contract vulnerabilities and price discrepancies between $eETH and underlying ETH.

Liquid staking solves these issues by allowing users to deposit their ETH into a secure smart contract and access it at any time. This democratizes staking and opens the door to new DeFi applications. It also increases capital efficiency and provides opportunities for yield farming.

Rewards



Traditionally, staking involves depositing a token on the Ethereum blockchain to earn rewards, but those staked assets become illiquid. ether fi aims to solve this issue with its native liquid restaking solution.

Liquid restaking tokens like those from Lido and Rocket Pool allow users to retain access to their deposited ETH while earning staking rewards. These tokens also offer security benefits, such as providing security infrastructure for Layer-2 networks and data layers.

However, these tokens are prone to risk. They can be slashed by a developer, and they might lose value due to a smart contract bug or other problems. Staking providers need to ensure that they’re offering a safe and secure environment. They must also provide a high level of liquidity, and they need to make it easy for investors to switch platforms.

Beginner’s guide



Ether fi staking is one of the best ways to earn interest on your investment. Staking rewards can be significant, especially if you are holding ETH for the long term. It also removes the emotional element of trading, allowing you to stay invested during market fluctuations.

Self-staking requires a high level of technical expertise and can be time-consuming. Users must keep up with hardware upgrades and troubleshoot any issues that may arise. Moreover, they must own the required amount of ETH to become a validator.

Liquid staking protocols like Lido and Rocket Pool allow users to maintain their staking balances while earning staking rewards. These platforms use EigenLayer to facilitate liquid staking and restaking. Moreover, they provide additional earnings via derivative tokens. They are currently attracting interest because of their high returns and liquidity.

ARCTIC DREAMS, the mysterious band from St. Petersburg, is glad to present the audience with the long-awaited first album called “And the Agony Has Started. ” The band’s music can be classified as metal with electronic gothic and industrial tendencies that will fascinate listeners and defy expectations. 

ARCTIC DREAMS was created in 2009 with a vision to be different from the rest of the heavy music bands; the band members include Aleksandr “Alex_Y” Järvinen (vocals/guitars/music/lyric), Igor “Sydius” Pokatilov (back-vocal/guitars), and Sergey “Glam_Dickens” Dik. Taking ideas from Metallica, Cradle of Filth, Hocico, the band tried themselves in everything, mixing the favorite metal with electronic, gothic and industrial with the addition of classical composers like Vivaldi, Beethoven and Mozart. 

Finally, after years of hard work and preparation, ARCTIC DREAMS got into the studio to record the first demo, the aggressive metal with electronic influences which can be compared to the bands like Deathstars, Dope Stars Inc, The CNK. While their activity was temporarily put on hold, the band members kept on writing songs and polishing their material, which would eventually form the basis of the band’s concept that would be expressed in “And the Agony Has Started. 

The recording of the debut album started in 2014 and the band encountered a lot of problems during the process. Unfazed, they continued, and eventually set up their own recording studio, the Arctic Sonic Wave Recording Studio, to fine tune their music. Now, after a lot of struggling, ARCTIC DREAMS offers people to join their world with the new song “And the Agony Has Started.

New Promo: iwatchyousleep Announces New Album "The Killing of Character" - @thebeast

Release Date: July 5, 2024

FFO: Schoolyard Heroes, Refused, Placebo

Location: Santa Fe, NM

For Immediate Release

iwatchyousleep Announces New Album "The Killing of Character"

Seattle’s post-hardcore rock band iwatchyousleep is proud to present their new album “The Killing of Character. ” This album merges metal, swancore and punk and is recommended for fans of Schoolyard Heroes, Refused and Placebo. 

Santa Fe, New Mexico’s own iwatchyousleep is an alt-rock project that is not afraid to get personal. Lindsay Payton is the vocalist of the band while Auston Sceirine plays the guitar, Jake Osborn is in charge of bass and Jeff Jedlowski plays drums; the music that the band produces is dark and heavy. Lindsay’s vocals fluctuate from gentle and eerie to raw screams and Auston’s emo influenced melodies give it a midwestern touch. Jake’s bass lines are punk oriented and Jeff Jedlowski’s back beats complete their unique music style. 

The song “The Killing of Character” is a boisterous elaboration of issues fundamental to iwatchyousleep’s persona. The album is darker, faster, and more desperate than their previous work, which is probably the reason behind the title; betrayal, loss, and the human condition. According to Ernest Hemingway, one should “write hard and clear about what hurts,” and iwatchyousleep does just that. 

Their first album was released in February 2023, and this album familiarized the listeners to their music. Now, with “The Killing of Character,” their music reaches new levels and proves iwatchyousleep as a band to contend with in the post-hardcore genre.

Let The Summoning Begin…



SUMMONER'S CIRCLE is a six-piece theatrical metal band that blends elements of black, death, doom, and progressive metal into their own flavor of, what they refer to as, Epic metal.

The band recently concluded their first European tour, with tremendous fan response, as a part of Batushka’s 2023 European Pilgrimage tour along with blackened death metal legends HATE and Brazil’s Paradise in Flames. Always looking to spread the word and grow their fan base, upon

return to the US, they immediately hit the road again, concluding 2023 with more than 80 dates in 14 different countries.



Currently, The Summoners have wrapped up recording their third full-length album which will be released by Black Lion Records in May of 2024. The band is extremely excited to be working with Black Lion and intends to get back out on the road to support the new album as quickly as possible.
