The new Jason Payne & The Black Leather Riders's Ep will be released on July 16th.
"The Abyss" is about death, obscurity, and the “nothing”. It talks of things like trying to reach the void, feeling confused and betrayed, and about a person that’s losing his essence. Without a consciousness, and with no purpose in our lives, we’re just a bunch of roamers taking a road to the abyss, and that leads us to the dark and lashes us to insignificant beings floating in “the nothing”.
"When I was writing this EP, I got affected by the outside world. It’s a dark period that we’re living. I caught the essence and the feelings that this time put me through and made a whole EP about existentialism and nihilism. This period made me question who am I, what’s my purpose, what have I done with my life, and what if this all ends now? Would it matter? Do we matter? Does life matter? Of course, it does! In my opinion, there’s no point in doing anything or living if this doesn’t matter. However, when I wrote this EP, I don’t give you the bright side of the story."
Line-up:
Jason Payne (Vocals, lead guitar) Marta Pereira (rhythm guitar) Jane Hyde (bass) Tiago Ferreira (drums, percussion)
Recorded at Metropolis Studios. Mixed by Alex Robinson (Bullet From My Valentine. Mastered by Andrew Hippy Baldwin (Oasis, Faith No More).
After the release of the first single "Ascensión", a song that will be included in the band's next album and which has been very well received, today we officially present their video clip, which has been recorded by the band itself with the help of editing. of "MMP Digital Products". They have collaborated: Mario Gutiérrez (Ex Azrael), Raúl Jiménez Sastre, Alberto Mata “Matita” and Curtys.
The band is in full compositional process, where they are working very hard to be able to have the album ready at the end of October.
Lead vocalist Paul Kaiser, "FLOWERS AND LIES... my metaphor for those people that fear reality. In that I mean... someone may put up with deceit and disloyalties so to keep the peace and take the flowers and lies. Being a foolish acceptance, they fake a smile and convince themselves they are right 'they wouldn't lie to me' and if need be, even defend it fiercely. Without ever knowing the truth or even investigating. It is the ultimate ignorance. This also applies to general beliefs in Politics and Politicians, Scientists, the Media and the body corporate and runs as a theme throughout the album."
'Kaiser and the Machines of Creation’ are certainly not the stereotypical band. Their songwriting and production are exemplary. Their music videos take you on a journey, which is missing in many music videos throughout the world. This 9 track album takes the listener on a journey of imagination and thought provoking diversity. MR Records are extremely proud to be involved with the release of ‘Flowers and Lies'. - Peter Naylor, A&R MR Records
Ever wondered how Bauhaus would sound if they dabbled in Hard Rock, you’d get a fair enough idea by hitting play on Kaiser and the Machines Of Creation. You’ll still get to absorb plenty of arrestingly technical soaring guitar riffs which you’re accustomed to in Hard Rock, but irrefutably Kaiser and the Machines Of Creation are the much-needed antidote to the sterility in the genre. - anrfactory.com

Bizarrekult is bridging the two identities of it mastermind - philosophical depth of frozen Siberian steppe and the majestic beauty of Norwegian soil on this debut album!
Coming from Oslo, Norway, Bizarrekult is bridging the two identities of it mastermind - philosophical depth of frozen Siberian steppe and the majestic beauty of Norwegian soil on this debut album. Bizarrekult was formed back in 2006 as a response to the chaos of the surroundings and already with a first demo got attention through 2000 copy split CD release. However, following the second studio demo and then a two track rehearsal demo in Bergen, the project was laid on ice. “Vi Overlevde” (we survived) speaks to the heart of every post-Black Metal fan that is looking for something different. The tracks are filled with great riffing and beautiful melodies, tightly connected to the lyrical themes of frustration, despair, sorrow, forgiveness and finally - hope.
