CREMATORY Releases New Video, “When The Children Cry” New Album, Unbroken, Out Now via Napalm Records Watch The Video HERE | Order The Album NOW! [Photo Credit: Stefan Heilemann] German pioneers of European gothic metal, CREMATORY, showcase another facet of their manifold spectrum with the release of their heart-wrenching cover version of “When The Children Cry”, along with an atmospheric audio-visual. CREMATORY is well known for their harsh wave of industrial metal and gothic dimness – but this cover version proves that they are maintaining versatility in the latest stage of their long career. Connie Andreszka’s powerful vocal range combined with soft plugging guitar lines, make this offering a real stunner. Especially in dark times, the popular track originally performed by WHITE LION regains significance, reveals a light in the night and appeals to the people’s hope. The black and white music video presents both their passion for music and the melodic side of CREMATORY’s musical identity. Their latest release Unbroken connects all shades - on the one hand underlining the significance of strength and determination, while on the other, remaining faithful to the darker and existential roots of the scene the band was born in in the 90s. CREMATORY pursue their conquest towards the dark Parnassus of gothic metal finesse, their spirit unbroken ready to face the challenges of life. CREMATORY about “When The Children Cry”: "To shorten the time without live music caused by the Coronavirus, we recorded this cover version of White Lion's "When The Children Cry", to show that we are still here for our fans and supporters. A beautiful addition to our recently released album Unbroken (release date: march 6th via Napalm Records)!” Watch “When The Children Cry” HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKumWRrwQ7w&feature=youtu.be&utm_source=Presse+News+-+WWW&utm_campaign=a4c7ab8d54-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_05_24_09_58_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_275216584a-a4c7ab8d54-403261276 Order your version of Unbroken NOW: CREMATORY are touring heavily next year - get the chance to see them live on stage: TOUR DATES: w/ Vlad in Tears, Elephants in Paradise, Dust in Tears 15.01.21 DE - Berlin / Nuke Club 16.01.21 DE - Leipzig / Hellraiser 17.01.21 DE - Frankfurt a.M. / Nachtleben 29.01.21 DE - Munich / Backstage Club 30.01.21 DE - Lindau / Club Vaudeville 31.01.21 CH - Bern / Gaskessel 13.02.21 DE - Zwickau / Club Seilerstrasse 14.02.21 DE - Trier / Mergener Hof 26.02.21 DE - Kaiserslautern / Kammgarn 27.02.21 DE - Erfurt / From Hell 12.03.21 DE - Hagen aTW / Stocks 13.03.21 DE - Hamburg / Logo 14.03.21 DE - Cologne / Helios37 About Crematory: One of the pioneering acts of the potent European goth metal scene in the 1990s, CREMATORY began as a strict death metal unit in 1991 before adding goth and industrial elements into their arsenal.

SERUM 114 Announces New Album, Im Zeichen der Zeit +Releases New Single & Official Video

[photo credit: Christian Eschweiler] SERUM 114 doubled down their musical power: punk meets modern rock! German punk rockers SERUM 114 have been kicking up the fuss for over 10 years with their hard-hitting blend of punk and modern rock – without counting bruises or scars! Today, the punk rock unit releases their new single, "Abgefucktes Leben" (engl. “fucked up life”), along with an authentic music video, fresh off their upcoming album Im Zeichen der Zeit (engl. “signs of time”), to be released via Napalm Records on September 18, 2020. Following their chart-topping longplayer Die Nacht Mein Freund (engl. “the night is my friend”) (GER #3), the new full-length includes 14 energetic tracks, careening towards a rock break-out. As a harbinger of the upcoming album their second single “Abgefucktes Leben” delivers pure modern rock. Wearing their punk rock attitude on their sleeves, the mid-tempo anthem illuminates the simplicity of daily life. The accompanying audio-visual hits the nail on the head and showcases that SERUM 114 aren’t preoccupied with taking themselves too seriously. With their new offering, they double down on their musical power and present themselves stronger than ever before: lyrically, musically and stylistically! SERUM 114 on their new single “Abgefucktes Leben”: "An ode to banality and the lightness of being. An homage to the child in our heads and the Peter Pan in our hearts. Today the rest of the world can take themselves seriously – we won’t!" Watch the new video for “Abgefucktes Leben” HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbeG_dNFbvg&feature=youtu.be&utm_source=Presse+News+-+WWW&utm_campaign=2037f9f80e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_05_24_09_58_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_275216584a-2037f9f80e-403261276 Pre-Order the new album Im Zeichen der Zeit HERE: The new album, Im Zeichen der Zeit, presents 14 energetic modern rock tracks: In an honest and authentic punk rock manner, "Freiheit" (engl. “freedom”) invites the listener to reflect on moments filled with happiness, to center themselves and find balance within, even if it’s just for a short amount of time. The mid-tempo anthem “Abgefucktes Leben” (engl. “fucked up life”) is driven by its unmistakably catchy chorus and dedicated to the simplicity of daily life. Esche’s rough vocals classify the band’s unique trademark, whilst pushing their songs, such as “Meine Band” (engl. “my band”), to a highly energetic level. Despite wearing their punk rock attitude on their sleeves, SERUM 114 is also capable of slowing down: “ Wir scheitern voran” (engl. “we fail”) is a powerful ballad of failure and unveils an unusually calm side of the band. Tracklisting Im Zeichen der Zeit: 1. Abgefucktes Leben 2. Freiheit 3. Punk Rock Show 4. Zuhause ist schön 5. Ein Teil 6. Zeichen 7. Wir scheitern voran 8. Jeden Tag Jede Nacht 9. Meine Band 10.

New Full-Length Album, Dealing With Demons I, out October 9, 2020

Pre-Order HERE  [Photo Credit: Stephanie Cabral // Illustration: Anne Catherine Swallow] Top-charting dark groove metal originators DEVILDRIVER recently announced the highly-anticipated release of their upcoming double album, Dealing With Demons. The first volume – entitled Dealing With Demons I – drops on October 9, 2020 via Napalm Records and marks the band’s first release of new, original material since 2016’s acclaimed Trust No One. Representing the onset of a final purging of the themes that have long possessed frontman Dez Fafara and DEVILDRIVER’s music, each track on Dealing With Demons I illustrates a different demon to be dealt with, or released. Today, the band is following up on the release of their burgeoning latest single “Keep Away From Me” and its thought-provoking video with yet another unforgettable anthem – the menacing, mosh-ready second single "Iona". From the ominous siren at its start to its grooving verses, the track pulls no punches. The hair-raising, anthemic chorus line, “She carries a black rose…” beckons the listener again and again into a chilling ghost story! Travel the dark road into Iona's clutches via the heart-gripping music video, directed by Vicente Cordero, below. Frontman Dez Fafara says about “Iona” and the demons that inspired the track: "Iona is unlike any other DEVILDRIVER song we’ve put out. From the frantic verses to the haunting chorus, this song is another move forward to push our sound and the listener's ears into the fray! The chorus, “she carries a black rose, effigy from a story closed", tells the story of the long dead ghost of Iona and her obsession with death represented by the black roses in her hands – each one the soul of someone she’s taken from this life on a lonely dark road, assimilating their souls into black roses, which she carries for eternity. This theme relates to myself and “Dealing With Demons” in that, often times, we as people have a hard time “letting go” of things. This can be applied to relationships, death, and so on. Iona carrying the black roses symbolizes her inability to move on – always seeking revenge. The past is exactly that – the past – it’s important to let go and not be stuck in a perpetual loop of living in it."  Watch the chilling official music video for “Iona” HERE Pre-Order Dealing With Demons I HERE [Album Artwork: Johnny Jones at COMA]   Respected standard bearers for 21st century metal, DEVILDRIVER have spent nearly two decades pursuing a course of uncompromising artistry and nonsense-free dedication to the road. Led by the prolific Dez Fafara, the Californian crew have earned their reputation as one of the hardest working bands on the planet, while issuing a steady succession of brutal but distinctive albums along the way. Dealing With Demons I showcases the supreme form of the band – Dez, guitarists Mike Spreitzer and Neal Tiemann, drummer Austin D’Amond and bassist Diego "Ashes" Ibarra. This isn’t just some of the most vicious DEVILDRIVER material to date, but some of their most lethally memorable too. Produced and engineered by Steve Evetts with additional engineering from guitarist Mike Spreitzer, it’s a triumph for teamwork and tenacity. With new milestones like Dez Fafara’s eerie verses on “Wishing” and the frontman’s first co-authored lyric (the seething, poignant “Nest Of Vipers” was written by Dez and Neal Tiemann), Dealing With Demons I ferociously delivers the goods while kicking open several new doors for DEVILDRIVER to power through in the future. From the self-explanatory, explosive opener “Keep Away From Me” to the chilling imagery of “Iona”, this album is powerful evidence that Dez and his band mates have given DEVILDRIVER a volatile, visceral kick in the ass. Demons are getting dealt with in the harshest of manners. Dez Fafara adds: “It’s time to lay it all out, on two records. I’m never gonna revisit these subjects again. I’ve been writing about this sort of human nature, disloyalty and dishonesty, love and loss, since the beginning of my career. I am going in a more lyrically woke direction in the future. A lot of people say my music gives them strength. But what they don’t realize is that these topics haunt me. Over the course of these last few years we fled from wildfires, my wife battled cancer and now we are going through a pandemic… so it is what it is… let’s dump it all on the table and purge. I want to go through different topics in the future, so here we are now. I’ve laid it all out on a double record for all of you to hear.” This is just the beginning – fans should be prepared for the onslaught of what is to come with the impending second volume of the double album, which promises to go even harder. This is a two-part acceleration into the future – after witnessing Dealing With Demons I, listeners will be clamoring for the second half! Dealing With Demons I Tracklist: 1. Keep Away From Me 2. Vengeance Is Clear 3. Nest Of Vipers 4. Iona 5. Wishing 6. You Give Me A Reason To Drink (feat. Simon Blade Fafara) 7. Witches 8. Dealing With Demons 9. The Damned Don't Cry 10.
