SOEN RELEASE NEW VIDEO FOR "INCENDIARY"

 

Following the start of the European tour, Soen have released the strikingly visual video for ‘Incendiary’, a driving and furious anthem with a message of hope to rise against the horrors of war and the tyrannous leaders behind them.

 

Lopez comments, “Incendiary is a song about the true power of unification…even if there is a few in charge ‘we’, as the people, have the power to radically change things.”

 

“It’s a heavy and melodic song that has both the more raw classic metal vibe as well as some proggy passages”.

Adds singer and co-founder member Joel Ekelöf:

“I would say that it has a lot of emotion and anger but also beauty and serenity.”

P.O.D. DEBUT "LIES WE TELL OURSELVES" MUSIC VIDEO

 

Sandoval states, "Everybody lies to themselves! Just don’t believe it."

 

"As hate is to love, death is to life, lies is to Veritas (truth). This song resonates the struggle and hope which keeps us from truly believing that the 'lies within ourselves' become a reality. Our struggle. Our truth," says Curiel

 

The word Veritas – which translates to "Truth" in Latin – defined the emotional core of the album, and the album art further encapsulates that message: the Veritas album cover, which pictures a child with its eyes blacked out, signifies “a culmination of innocence and dark hidden truths.”

KORPIKLAANI RELEASE NEW SINGLE, VIDEO "ORAAKKELIT"

 

Finnish folk metal superstars, Korpiklaani, are happy to unveil their newest single and music video, "Oraakkelit".

It's the third single from their upcoming new studio album, Rankarumpu, which is due to be released on April 5.

 

Korpiklaani's twelfth studio album is once again full of tasty folk metal and its different flavors, but it also offers new spices. One of the most wonderful features of Rankarumpu is related to the folk instruments. Although Korpiklaani has done one or maybe even a couple of unforgettable things in the realm of folk metal, this time new permanent member Olli Vänskä's violin and Sami Perttula's accordion may surprise even die-hard fans.

 

"Oraakkelit" shows a darker, more serious side of Korpiklaani and is a nice contrast to the happier, more upbeat previous singles, "Saunaan" and "Aita". The mood of the song has been perfectly captured by a mystical and visually stunning video directed by Vesa Ranta.

 

Singer Jonne commented: "I had never actually written a shuffle based song before and I wanted to try to write such a riff and see how it would work in metal music. Normally it is used a lot in old blues and rock’n’roll music. I was suprised how cool it went and then I thought: what if all the gods all over the world would have a big rock’n'roll dancing party together underground. The idea made me laugh, so I decided to use it!"

NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS NEW ALBUM ‘WILD GOD’

 

The new Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds album ‘Wild God’ will be released on 30 August. 

 

Nick Cave: “I hope the album has the effect on listeners that it’s had on me. It bursts out of the speaker, and I get swept up with it. It’s a complicated record, but it’s also deeply and joyously infectious. There is never a masterplan when we make a record. The records rather reflect back the emotional state of the writers and musicians who played them. Listening to this, I don’t know, it seems we’re happy.”

 

Across ten tracks, the band dance between convention and experimentation, taking left-turns and detours that heighten the rich imagery and emotion in Cave’s soul-stirring narratives. It is the sound of a group emboldened by reconnection and taking flight. There are moments that touch fondly upon the Bad Seeds’ past but they are fleeting, and serve only to imbue the relentless and restless forward motion of the band.

PJ HARVEY RELEASES VIDEO FOR "SEEM AN I"

 

The video stars British actor Ruth Wilson.

 

On working with Ruth Wilson and Colm Bairéad, PJ Harvey says: “Ruth and I became friends after working together on Clio Barnard’s film ‘Dark River’. I have always greatly admired Ruth’s work as an actor, so had long harboured a dream that we might work together again in some way. When the opportunity to work with Colm Bairéad came up I knew him to be a director Ruth thought highly of, as I did, so it felt right to ask her if she would star in the film. I find the resulting short film beautiful and moving for having Ruth’s magical presence, and Colm’s unique vision.”

 

Wilson adds, “I have always been a huge fan of PJ, so it was a great privilege to work alongside Colm and Polly to bring ‘Seem an I’ to visual life in this mysterious and hypnotic short film.

There is no better way to spend a day in the magical world of PJ Harvey.”

Olof Mörck explains: "We’ve done these things before, but we’ve never been as theatrical as we have this time,"

Mörck grins. "In fact, we all questioned whether we went too far this time, but I also figured that this band was always this way. Literally, the first seconds of our first video was a big explosion! But yes, The Catalyst is more theatrical than ever. We’ve never really been symphonic or orchestral before, but this time we just thought why not? Because we can! The key to this album is that we let go of the boundaries and decided to do something even more adventurous."
