Sunk Loto Reclaim Their Place with ‘God Complex’ – Backseat Mafia
After two decades of near silence, Sunk Loto have returned to with their first new music since the early 2000s. Their latest release, ‘The Gallows Wait,’ signalled the band’s rebirth, and now, nearly a year later, they are pushing boundaries once more with their newest track, ‘God Complex’—one of the heaviest and most unrelenting pieces in their career. From the opening notes, ‘God Complex’ tears through any expectation of a mellow return. The track is an assault of searing guitar riffs, relentless drums, and basslines that feel equally unhinged. Jason Brown, the band’s frontman, alternates between clean, melodic vocals and brutal screams, amplifying the intensity of the piece in a…

God Dethroned Reveal Final Single ‘The Hanged Man’; New Album ‘The Judas Paradox’ And EU/UK Tour Kicking – Backseat Mafia
God Dethroned, one of the most respected Dutch extreme metal acts, will unleash their new studio album next Friday, on September 6, 2024, via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM). The band has just released the final single ‘The Hanged Man.’ Leading down the final steps towards the sonic abyss that is “The Judas Paradox,” the track immediately suffocates listeners with crushing double-bass drumming and bass – without losing its melodic sense in the form of scheming lead guitars though! Judas Iscariot, the main inspiration behind the album title, once again lurks around in the lyrics, rounding off yet another striking song out of the band’s hellish forge. Frontman Henri “The Serpent King” Sattler comments: “A song which lyrics are…

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds release the sweepingly majestic ‘Frogs’ ahead of ‘Wild God’ album and European/UK tour. – Backseat Mafia
Release the ‘Frogs’! Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds have just released an achingly and hauntingly beautiful track ‘Frogs’, an epic fringed by wailing guitars and an ominous tread. It is a gorgeous anthemic track, imposing and imperial with its circular weeping strings in the ether. It represents the band at their ethereal best – there is almost an Ennio Morricone shimmer, a Burt Bacharach majesty, a cinematic sweep all bedded down by Martin Casey’s steady ambulant bass and a chorus of backing voices that makes it heavenly. And, as is Cave’s wont, heavenly is an apt description. The first lines Cave penned for the album were powerfully evocative, referencing…

Already poised for a monumental year as a recording artist, Love Ghost shares the new single, ‘God Damn’. The single sees Love Ghost collaborating with Mexican artist ND Kobi’, blending a hazy, honest mix of trap and alternative R&B. The instrumental is driven by rattling tops and hard-hitting kicks, while heavenly acoustic arpeggios, airy synth melodies, and subtle production create a backdrop of gloomy wistfulness.

Produced by Shantra, ‘God Damn’ features on the upcoming album created by Love Ghost and the Mexican producer. Love…

The ever industrious and prolific Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have today announced their new album ‘Wild God’ set for release on 30 August 2024 and released the title track as an appetiser to tantalise us. The single sets sail on a dappling instrumentation with Cave’s trade mark sense of wry observant humour and tall story telling – even referencing that girl from the eponymous Jubilee Street who last appeared in ‘Push The Sky Away’. An euphoric layer of voices behind Cave is exultant and explodes into a massive chorus that is simply celestial and anthemic. This is the preacher Cave, not the sorrowful Cave and may indicate a…
