KICKIN VALENTINA
Star Spangled Fist Fight (album)
Mighty Music
Radio Impact: 24 January 2024
Release: 19 April 2024
April 19, 2024
For fans of Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC, Hardcore Superstar
In April 2024, the world will be a bit less shitty, as KICKIN VALENTINA will release their fourth full-length album titled “Star Spangled Fist Fight”. Ten bullets of loud, unapologetic rock’n’roll are fired aiming the hearts and jugulars of all hard rock fans with a sleaze rock fallout. And, with an almost cynical precision, the four guys in Kickin Valentina, knock each and every one of us with catchy choruses, indecently strong riffs and a sexy rhythm groove that’s almost pornographic.
Once again, the album was produced by Andy Reilly (UFO, Bruce Dickinson, Cradle of Filth) at Muse Productions in Atlanta, and mastered by Joel Wanasek. “It’s been way too long since our last album, and we are really excited about “Star Spangled Fist Fight.””, bassist Chris Taylor states. “I know every band says this, but I think this is our best album so far. Everything just seemed to click while we were writing it”.
Kickin Valentina still plays the proverbial loud unapologetic rock’n’roll in 2024, as the band enters the second decade of its existence. Except that “Star Spangled Fist Fight” is a bit louder and a bit more unapologetic.
Formed in 2013, the Americans quickly gained attention in the U.S. and abroad. They were immediately picked up by Atlanta-based indie label Highway 9 Records and released their debut self-titled EP in October 2013. In August 2015 Kickin Valentina signed with Danish hard rock/metal label Mighty Music, and has released since then three successful full-length albums - “Super Atomic,” “Imaginary Creatures,” “Revenge of Rock” - and an EP titled “Chaos in Copenhagen” to rave reviews around the world.
Their album “Imaginary Creatures” debuted on 5 different Billboard charts (Heatseeker Albums #16, Heatseekers South Atlantic #5, Independent Albums #30, Hard Rock Album Sales #11, and Rock Album Sales #42), and the single “Crazy” reached #15 on the Danish iTunes rock charts. “Revenge of Rock” debuted at #6 on the Danish vinyl chart, and “Chaos in Copenhagen” debuted at #27 on Denmark’s top 100 album sales chart.
“Star Spangled Fist Fight” will be released on LP (black vinyl, limited to 500 copies), digipack CD and digital formats via Mighty Music on April 19th, 2024.

Dendera
Mask Of Lies
Rockshots Records
April 18, 2024
Formed in 2011, metal band Dendera have been on a steady rise whilst playing sell out shows and festivals across Europe and the UK. They expertly deliver modern melodic metal influenced by artists such as Trivium, Tesseract, Lamb of God, Dream Theater, Parkway Drive, and Bleed from Within.
Their combination of towering clean vocals and powerful screams along with unfaltering musicianship, energetic performances and stunning choruses has rightfully earned Dendera its reputation as a formidable band, earning them tours and shows with bands such as Sepultura, Queensrÿche, Saxon, Death Angel, Gloryhammer, Skindred, Rhapsody of Fire and many more.
Carrying the same title as the album, the first single “Mask Of Lies” leads the way, showing a modern shift in tone for Dendera. Starting with double kicks, a crushing riff and a hard picked guitar melody, the song takes no time getting to the point. From the intro, screams unleash a four to the floor verse with a huge, aggressive vocal line from Ash. A song about rising up against oppression that will resonate with many people in the modern world, Mask Of Lies brings an unstoppable chorus with call and response clean and scream vocals. A chorus that is sure to impress live. A heavy and modern breakdown section cements Dendera’s musical shift into a more modern sound before getting to the last chorus with an inspiring and goosebump raising orchestral break that will have the listener wanting to go back and listen again. Mask Of Lies sets the stall out early for the next releases from the Dendera for this album.

CREST OF DARKNESS
"My Ghost" will be the title of
CREST OF DARKNESS new album
April 18, 2024
"I have probably never released a more personal album than "My Ghost". This is how CREST OF DARKNESS founder Ingar Amlien defines "My Ghost", the new full-length album from the Norwegian Black Metal band, set for release on the next autumn on My Kingdom Music and anticipated in June by a single released in an exclusive 7" EP format.
"My Ghost" is the result of two years worth of blood, sweat and tears, that began with Ingar working alone to mould his very personal thoughts and beliefs into musical ideas that the band can then develop together, each contributing their own ideas to the process, before entering the MLP Studios with Nils H. Maehlum at the helm. The result is an extremely personal journey that defines the very essence of CREST OF DARKNESS.
Here are Ingar's thoughts about the new music they will be releasing: "After what felt to us like an eternity of waiting, the time has finally come for us to be able to present you with new music. Since 1996 I have nurtured CREST OF DARKNESS in my heart, and in all that time I have probably never released a more personal album than "My Ghost", which will appear in the Autumn of 2024. Before that, however, you can get a taste of what to expect from "My Ghost", in the form of a single which will be released in June, even before details of the album itself are announced. I can, however, reveal that "My Ghost" is a concept album, one in which you are invited to join me on what I would call an "initiation journey" into the CREST OF DARKNESS Universe. An invitation into my own dark universe where there is only one ruler... one God... ME!!".
Over the coming days we'll reveal more details about the album and the upcoming single.
For the moment just imagine finding yourself in front of one of the most incredible, mature and deeply personal albums that CREST OF DARKNESS has ever released.

The rising star of melodic death metal, Hagalas, has released the second single titled "Remembrance Fades" from their upcoming album "Mentes Reae" along with a lyric video
April 18, 2024
The album "Mentes Reae" by Finnish melodic death metal band Hagalas will be released via Inverse Records on May 31, 2024, as a physical edition, and will be available on streaming platforms as a whole in early autumn 2024. The timely theme of the album, depicting the multifaceted aspects of mental health, also resonates in the newly released track. The message of the song revolves around the continuous search for meaning in human life, and how at the end, the character of the story realizes that their life has been spent chasing meaningless pursuits, and the time given has been questionably utilized. Perhaps the message is to do something with your life before it's too late.
The song is available on streaming platforms, and a lyric video has been created, which can be viewed on Inverse Records' and the band's channels.

Finnish artist Tomy Laisto releases the final single from his upcoming album "Penumbra"
to be released in early June
April 18, 2024
Finnish musician Tomy Laisto from bands like Hateform, Pain Confessor, Mors Principium Est, Omnium Gatherum and Arc Spectra releases his first full length album "Penumbra" as a solo artist with his own name on June 7th 2024. Final single before the album release "Sun Under" is now on music services.
Listen to the single on music services (Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer etc): https://push.fm/fl/tomylaisto-sununder
Tomy tells about the song:
Sometimes the song just comes to you and this is exactly what happened here. I've always loved bands like Kingston Wall so i wanted to make a trippy, dreamlike song in that vein, almost like a poem. While being fully aware of the title being "incorrect" grammatically, the title just resided so persistently between my ears so i left it as it is. To me, it contributes to the dreamy atmosphere of the song, which is about searching something, a peace of mind. One of the most personal songs of the album for me.

BLACK OAK COUNTY
Fire Inside (single)
Mighty Music
Radio Impact: 16 April 2024
Release: 26 April 2024
April 17, 2024
For fans of Volbeat, Black Stone Cherry, Shinedown, Nicklas Sonne
Danish rockers BLACK OAK COUNTY unveil the next chapter from their upcoming album, with the release of the new single “Fire Inside”. The track follows the release of “Save Your Breath”, and is yet another explosive collaboration and co-write with Nicklas Sonne (Defecto, Danish Eurovision Song Contest preliminaries).
“Fire Inside is yet another rather emotional song, but into a rocking package”, the band says about the single. “It’s a song about your judgment being all cloudy and messed up, because you’re so overcome by emotion - which is something we tried to show with the major change between the verse and chorus. It’s almost two different songs smashed into one, just as you can be a completely different person once you’re flooded by emotions such as rage and fragility. Oh, and there’s a whammy part in there too, which we can’t wait to use live, hah!“
Black Oak County is currently gearing up for its coming album release later this year, with shows in Denmark and Germany.
Lineup:
Niels Beier - guitar, vocals
René Kristensen - bass, vocals

WITHERING SURFACE
Finish What You Started (single)
Mighty Music
Radio Impact: 11 April 2024
Release: 19 April 2024
April 13, 2024
For fans of melodic death metal
For the second single of their upcoming album “Exit Plan”, WITHERING SURFACE present one of the fastest, yet melodic, tracks in the record: “Finish What You Started”. From the killer guitar lead in the pre-chorus to the emotional-charged refrain, this song is all that the Danes represent in 2024: a mature band with an endless soft spot for melodic death metal in its classical form.
“Exit Plan” is the 6th studio album from Withering Surface following the success of the 2020-comeback album “Meet You Maker”. The process of the “Exit Plan” album was long and challenging with various recording session, line-up changes, producers and on top of that all the obstacles with Covid and post-Covid. The fact that the band’s engagements with Copenhell and various other festivals in 2020 were postponed two years to 2022 could easily have killed Withering Surface that was making a comeback after 15 years in slumber. Instead, all efforts were put into the making of “Exit Plan”. An album where both songwriting and lyrical concept appear stronger than ever for the band. Topping this is the production by Soren Andersen (Medley Studio), mainly known in rock and hard rock circles for his work with artists like Thundermother, Tygers Of Pan Tang and Glenn Hughes. Soren Andersen was not the obvious choice of producer for a melodic death metal band but ended up being the perfect match for Withering Surface anno 2024 delivering a huge over-the-top sound.
Allan Tvedebrink says “Right after we dropped “Meet Your Maker” all our gigs and plans were scrapped because of the pandemic and it obviously created a huge void for us. I’m very proud of that album, but when it was finished, I felt that we could do better and, because of the wide open schedule, I immediately started working on “Exit Plan”. The new material is focused on a much more direct and intense approach and it is by far the strongest compilation of songs we have ever done to represent an album. In the process of creating “Exit Plan” we had lots of set backs. Deciding to let our new drummer go after we recorded the drums, having a new guitarist on board and losing our keyboard player took some extra time, but also made us re-visit the material and get everything right. The challenges and the decisions made in the process definitely made the album way better”.
Soren Andersen: “I was initially hired as the mixing engineer but I have ended up becoming a superfan. This is how I feel about Withering Surface and their forthcoming album “Exit Plan”. They are by far the most extreme band I have ever worked with. Musically I have no other bands to compare them with besides Faith No More and Soilwork. After a few mixes I totally fell in love with the sound of the band, and never before have I challenged myself as much as I have working upon this album. Combining brutal riffs, a powerhouse rhythm section, screaming vocals, melodic solos and imaginative songwriting, this is all I could ever ask for in a metal band”.
Singer Michael Hvolgaard Andersen adds: “Vocal wise I wanted to go back to the roots of Withering Surface. Capturing some of the spirit from the frustrated 19-year old me. Songs on the new album like “Where Dreamers Die” and “You Hurt This Child” show that. I was not sure I still had that throat capacity and aggression in me but proved myself wrong. I always had the desire to make catchy sing-a-long choruses. In the past they were on songs like “Dancing With Faries” and “Joyless Journey”. On “Exit Plan” this desire is brought to life on “Denial Denial Denial”, “Finish What You Started” and “I Finally Lost (All Faith In Humanity)”. Since the formation of Withering Surface, Allan’s songwriting felt natural for me to make vocal lines and melodies on and on “Exit Plan” I truly believe he delivered his strongest material to date which by the end of the day is the reason that made my voice sound strong and have me deliver that little extra”.
The lyrical concept
“Exit Plan” is about breaking boundaries and norms that have been set for one. To put a mental period and start over. To get complete clarity about where you are and are going and want to end = “Exit Plan”. Song titles include “Where Dreamers Die”, “Mindreader”, “You Hurt This Child” and “I Finally Lost (All Faith In Humanity)” and are all with a lyrical foundation in the aforementioned outlook on life, sex, shame, religion and a fading view of humanity.
“Exit Plan” is a lyrical extension of its predecessor “Meet Your Maker”, where a religious meeting with the higher powers made the protagonist realise that there is no help to be had from anyone but the person himself. That you stand alone. That the only one who can help you is yourself. Cold cynicism and power do not go hand in hand with charity. Forget the norm and anything that doesn’t work for you. No excuse, no blame. You are not a social experiment. The thanks you get when you’re gone are worthless and remember one of man’s greatest qualities is to repress.
“Exit Plan” will be released on LP (black vinyl), CD and digital formats on June 7th, 2024 via Mighty Music.
Lineup:
Allan Tvedebrink - guitars
Michael H. Andersen - vocals
Jesper Kvist - bass
Troels Lund-Sørensen - drums

SILVERA release new single and lyric video "Utopian"
April 5, 2024
In the final stages of recording their sophomore album, Danish rockers SILVERA realized that two more songs were needed to complete the project. In a spontaneous turn of events, they decided to write one of these songs in the studio - a completely new process for them. As soon as the layers were added to the "Utopian", that comes out today as Silvera's new digital single, the band sensed that they had introduced a fresh element to the Silvera flavor. Inspiration struck, which led the collective to consider featuring harsh vocals on the song. That's when Silvera reached out to the talented individuals from Dreamshade, sharing their vision for the track. Their immediate understanding and incredible contribution transformed the song into something truly special. Lyrically, the narrative revolves around the human imagination's pursuit of utopia - a place where perfection becomes reality. Follow a diverse group as they embark on a quest for this idyllic haven, seeking refuge from the flaws of reality. Venturing into unexplored territories A new Silvera album will be released in 2024.

Briefly described by the band as “A catchy intergalactic tongue-in-cheek rock’n’roll anthem about lusting over a hot alien of the opposite sex”, “Dirty Rhythm” is the new digital single from KICKIN VALENTINA.

For fans of The Hellacopters, Rival Sons, Danko Jones
The Danish rock band JUNKYARD DRIVE is now presenting their third single "Shoot From The Hip.”, from their upcoming new album “Look At Me Now”.
"Shoot From The Hip" is a song that tells everything about what the band has evolved into in recent years. Junkyard Drive shows that they are not afraid to maintain the energetic sound of 80s rock, with solid guitar riffs and catchy melodies.
"We wanted the lyrical universe to challenge the glam and glitter that the sound suggests”, lead singer Kris Johansen comments. “The feeling of insecurity, and being born with a huge people-pleasing mentality, is the focal point of the lyrics, creating a cool contrast that is actually pervasive throughout our upcoming album. We love the old and grandiose sound, but we want to show that the genre can also be used to illuminate more than just partying".
Junkyard Drive is more energetic than ever before. The new album, with the title “Look At Me Now”, presents a band with new energy and inspiration.
Since 2014, Junkyard Drive has been determined to be the band that provides the soundtrack to life in the fast lane with the audience as passengers. Every time! With three critically acclaimed albums, lots of concerts and tours in most of the world, they have tried more than most Danish rock bands. Now their fourth album is on the way, and the goal has changed.
On “Look At Me Now”, Junkyard Drive rolls out ten high-octane rock tracks, delivered with flair, precision and lots of energy. One is tempted to say renewed energy, because even though Junkyard Drive are largely recognizable on the ten tracks that will be released in April, it is in many ways a changed band that delivers them. A few changes in the line-up and a much-needed look inside the internal relationships have restored focus and renewed the joy of playing. “Look At Me Now” welcomes two new guitarists: Oliver Hartmann and Kristoffer Kristensen. Both come with experience from genres other than rock, and that brings new ideas to the table during the songwriting process.
“Since we released “Electric Love” in 2022, we have gone through a process that can be heard in the new tracks”, Kristian offers. “We are tired of rock music always being put in the booth with draft beer and festivity. We want to show that rock music can develop and that it can contain sensitivity and depth. That’s why we had to go inside ourselves, to write texts that were more honest and that have something more at heart. When you go into yourself, you also have to come face to face with your own weaknesses. It can be a hard, but also very learning process. We have experienced that it has also taken a toll on the band’s internal relationships as you go through topics that can be tough, but we are incredibly proud to have gone through the process, because the lyrics and sound we have created have more layers than we have previously performed”.
“Look At Me Now” was produced by Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes, Thundermother) and will be released in LP (black and red vinyl editions, the latter being limited to 500 units) CD and digital formats on April 12th, 2024.

STORMBORN
Zenith
Rockshots Records
Release: 26 April 2024
Mar 13. 2024
Stormborn, the melodic heavy metal force hailing from Kent, UK, is poised to redefine the metal landscape with the release of their second album “Zenith”. Drawing inspiration from metal legends such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Dio, Stormborn melds classic elements with bold modern innovation, creating a unique sound that blazes its own trail in heavy metal.
Stormborn's journey began with their debut album, after which they honed their craft through electrifying performances across the UK. Notable appearances include gigs at the legendary Intrepid Fox in London, where they caught the attention of luminaries like Herman Li from DragonForce and Mark Cross – ex-Helloween and Firewind. The band earned prestigious slots supporting Rob Chapman's Dorje and Phil X & The Drills on a UK tour in 2013.
Career highlights also include supporting Rhapsody of Fire at the Camden Underworld in 2023, winning the 2012 Metal 2 the Masses for London, and playing at renowned festivals like Bloodstock and Summer Breeze.
Stormborn's upcoming release, “Zenith” represents a significant evolution in their sound. Described as a fusion of heavy and technical elements, the album retains a strong melodic essence, showcasing the band's commitment to crafting songs within the ferocious energy of their compositions. The album, meticulously composed for a seamless listening experience, invites fans to settle down with good headphones or speakers to get lost in its intricate composition.
The songs on “Zenith” are a mix of compositions from previous years, recent creations, and even a reworking of a childhood song titled "MegaFist." The album boasts a dynamic range, from the ferocious nature of most tracks to moments of melody and raw energy.
Concerning the lyrics, Stormborn draws inspiration from the world around them, history, personal thoughts and feelings, and sometimes pure imagination. While their music may be associated with power metal, the band distinguishes themselves with lyrics grounded in reality, often telling overt stories with underlying layers of meaning.
The evolution of Stormborn's sound is evident on “Zenith” with a progression toward heavier, faster, and more intricate compositions. The album, described as a journey through time, space, and emotion, signifies the band's maturity and artistic exploration.
“Zenith” is more than an album; it's a culmination of Stormborn's growth, experimentation, and dedication to producing music that resonates with both loyal fans and new listeners alike.

Emanzipation Productions
Radio Impact: 11 December 2023
Release: 8 March 2024
Mar 12. 2024
For fans of Grave, Demonical, Entombed
Now celebrating their 15th anniversary as a band, Swedish horror death metal stalwarts PUTERAEON don’t show any signs of slowing down or exploring new musical paths. Instead, they remain firmly in their bonecrushing Lovecraft-inspired death metal approach.
Coherent with this vision, the quartet looked back at their demos and debut album and re-recorded some of their old songs for this digital EP that celebrates a decade and a half of Chtulhian terror music, with the sound being mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö of Bloodbath and Edge Of Sanity fame. Five songs were chosen, from the first one Puteraeon ever written (“The Plague”, from their 2008 demo “Fascination For Mutilation” demo), until “Storm Over Devil’s Reef”, the opening track from the band’s 2011 debut album, with its rumbling intro and blasting velocity. “Whispers Of The Dead”, “Graverobber” (both from the second demo “The Requiem, released back in 2008), as well as “Dead Once More” (from the Re-Animator-inspired 2009 demo “The Extraordinary Work Of Herbert West”) complete “Quindecennial Horror”, with Puteraeon staring firmly at the abyss, while the abyss stares back at them.
“Quindecennial Horror” will be released in digital format via Emanzipation Productions on March 8th, 2024.
Lineup:
Daniel Vandija - bass
Anders Malmström - drums
Jonas Lindblood - vocals, guitars

Mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Pretty Maids, Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, etc). A new Silvera album will be released in 2024. "World Behind Doors" is available now as a digital single and official video. The video premiered earlier today.
