New Album “Aftershock” Hitting Stores on October 22, 2013 via UDR Music

Today, MOTÖRHEAD is releasing a brand new track from their upcoming 21st studio album, Aftershock, entitled ‘Crying Shame’. This track, written and performed by the world’s most legendary heavy metal band, is being unleashed by none other than the world’s most legendary music magazine, Rolling Stone. You can listen to ‘Crying Shame’, the second new track released to the masses, exclusively at RollingStone.com now.

The Rolling Stone piece states, “MOTÖRHEAD have torn it up on 20 studio albums, and for Aftershock – their 21st – the rockers haven’t lost their bite. Lemmy and crew bare their teeth for “Crying Shame,” with spitfire riffs and wild, stabbing piano. “Never knew your name,” Lemmy sneers in the chorus. “It’s a crying shame.””

MOTÖRHEAD’s other new single, ‘Heartbreaker’, is spinning now on Sirius XM’s Liquid Metal and Ozzy’s Boneyard channels.

Aftershock hits stores in North America on October 22, 2013 via UDR Music. Recorded at NRG Studios in North Hollywood, Aftershock is a true leveler, a crushing confirmation of everything MOTÖRHEAD stands for, marching from the dust storm to deliver 14 belting statements which see MOTÖRHEAD in perhaps their best writing form for years.

You can pre-order the next chapter of MOTÖRHEAD’s legendary catalog now in Limited Edition Digipack format via Amazon.com at this link. The album is also available for pre-order now in regular CD format and vinyl (gatefold – 180-Gram Single LP) format (digital coming soon).

DEICIDE Set November 25 Release For ‘IN THE MINDS OF EVIL’ Album Cover And Track Listing For New Studio Album Unveiled NO SALVATION TOUR 2013 Set For October With Support From BROKEN HOPE, DISGORGE & NECROMONICON

Metal legends DEICIDE will release ‘IN THE MINDS OF EVIL’ November 25 in North America via Century Media Records, and frontman and founding member Glen Benton couldn’t be more proud of his latest offering of evil incarnate.

“Do you hear that? It’s the sound of Satan singing along to the new DEICIDE!” boasts Benton of the new release, adding that “‘IN THE MINDS OF EVIL’ is like King Kong taking a shit on a daisy.”

The album is the eleventh studio recording of an illustrious career spanning more than 25 years, and is produced by Jason Suecoff [ALL THAT REMAINS, TRIVIUM, DEATH ANGEL, BATTLECROSS]. The album’s jarring cover was taken from Australian artist Simon Cowell’s painting “Power Of The Mind” and offers a fitting face to the album’s 11 tracks.

1. In The Minds Of Evil

2. Thou Begone

3. Godkill

4. Beyond Salvation

5. Misery Of One

6. Between The Flesh And The Void

7. Even The Gods Can Bleed

8. Trample The Cross

9.  Fallen To Silence

10. Kill The Light Of Christ

11. End The Wrath Of God

 

DECIBEL MAGAZINE joined DEICIDE in the studio earlier this year, reporting: “Expect a super-brutal blast to the cranium. Longtime fans will pick up on nuances inspired from the almighty Legion effort.” With drummer Steve Asheim adding, “we’re going to get down and dirty this time around, so expect the lyrics to be brutal.”

 

DEICIDE is (from L-R in above photo): Glen Benton (vocals and bass), Kevin Quirion (guitars), Steve Asheim (drums) and Jack Owen (guitars).

 

The band will preview ‘IN THE MINDS OF EVIL’ on the road this fall on the NO SALVATION TOUR 2013 – a DEICIDE headlining run with fellow Century Media labelmates and death metal favorites BROKEN HOPE in support. Also opening are DISGORGE and NECRONOMICON. The North American tour launches October 2 in Atlanta, GA, and ends October 24 in Austin, TX. Highlights include a convergence with the Delaware Death Fest October 5, as well as stops in New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles. Complete dates are listed below.

Rock duo ONE-EYED DOLL hits the road this week where they will join legendary act MUSHROOMHEAD, as direct support for the group’s 20-year anniversary tour. Kicking off on September 19th in Lynchburg, VA, the tour will route primarily through the East Coast and Midwest, with dates stretching into early November.  A full list of dates can be seen below.

ONE-EYED DOLL front-woman and guitar extraordinaire Kimberly Freeman comments, “We’re looking forward to seeing our friends Mushroomhead again, and of course all of our wonderful fans in these cities! We’ve got a great crew and tons of new merch. It’s going to be a blast.”

A true DIY success story, ONE-EYED DOLL has been sweeping the nation since early 2011 with their memorable live show, which has been called one of the most captivating and interesting performances of recent times.  Adored by fans and press alike, within the past two years the band has landed direct support slots for ORGY, COLD, OTEP and PEELANDER Z, and has also toured with WAYNE STATIC/STATIC X.

The haunting music video for “Committed,” the title-track off ONE-EYED DOLL’s forthcoming album, can be seen HERE.  Directed by Patrick Kendall [Megadeth, Incubus, Theory Of A Deadman], the video has acquired nearly 300,000 views.

Currently, the band is working on their new album ‘COMMITTED,’ which was produced by multi-platinum, Grammy award-winning producer Sylvia Massy [Tool, Johnny Cash, Prince, The Red Hot Chili Peppers]. The album offers a selection of hard-rocking tracks with addictive melodies, soulful, thought-provoking lyrics and chilling harmonies.
