  • Told Slant – “Sailor”

    Told Slant’s What’s Up is out this Friday. Do not let its title fool you — there is nothing casual about these songs. “Manhattan” and “Draw Blood” are memorable, moving singles, but today’s “Sailor” is a true tearjerker.

  • Escape The Fate Announce New Album ‘The Last Goodbye’

     

    METALCORE VETERANS ESCAPE THE FATE ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM

    THE LAST GOODBYE DUE OCTOBER 2 VIA BIG NOISE

    For nearly two decades, Escape the Fate have turned heartbreak, chaos, and outright destruction into arena-sized anthems, bridging the visceral fury of metalcore with the swagger and spectacle of hard rock. Now, the metalcore veterans are entering a new chapter with the announcement of their forthcoming album, The Last Goodbye, due October 2 via Big Noise.

    Alongside the album announcement, the band is unleashing “Paranoia,” a blistering new single that captures Escape the Fate at their most ferocious and unapologetic, pairing their signature intensity with a renewed sense of urgency. The track follows the release of “Idle Potential” and “Déjà Vu,” and gives fans another taste of what’s to come from the new album, signaling a record that finds the band embracing everything that has made them a force in heavy music while pushing their sound into its next evolution.

    Ahead of the new record, Escape The Fate vocalist Craig Mabbitt adds “Paranoia is a deep dive into what’s become a consistent state of mind of mine, putting those feelings into song helps to suppress.”

    The Last Goodbye Tracklisting:

    01. Last Goodbye

    02. Comatose

    03. Coffin Kingdom

    04. Paranoia

    05. Idle Potential

    06. Déjà Vu

    07. Devil In Wait

    08. Money Power Fame

    09. Hurt

    10. Medicine

    11. Other Side

    12. Bedroom Wall

    13. Remedy Of Numbness

    With a new label and a new batch of music, Escape The Fate are embracing evolution without losing sight of what made them one of modern rock’s most enduring forces. For nearly two decades, the Las Vegas-bred band have transformed heartbreak, chaos, rebellion, and outright destruction into arena-sized anthems, carving out a singular space between metalcore’s visceral fury and hard rock’s swagger and spectacle. Now, with their sights set firmly on the future, Escape The Fate are entering their next era with the same intensity that has fueled them since day one.

    That evolution began with “H8 MY SELF,” the band’s first release with BIG NOISE, the label run by longtime collaborator and producer John Feldmann. The track marked a new chapter for ESCAPE THE FATE, followed by “LOW” on March 31, 2023, and “Cheers To Goodbye,” featuring Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills. Each release offered another glimpse at a band willing to push beyond its established boundaries while retaining the massive hooks, combustible guitars, and emotional urgency that have become their calling cards.

    Rather than simply looking back at nearly two decades of chaos, the new album looks inward. Its songs draw from the band’s own experiences, struggles, relationships, and perspectives, offering fans a more intimate window into the people behind the distortion and detonating choruses. It’s Escape The Fate without the armor, still loud, still dangerous, but more revealing than ever.

    The band’s relentless touring history has only reinforced that reputation. Catch Escape The Fate performing at various festivals including Vans Warped Tour Mexico City, Louder Than Life and Aftershock this fall. For all upcoming Escape The Fate tour dates, visit: https://www.escapethefate.com

  • Dokken, Slaughter, And Warrant Live Remastered Color Vinyl With Limited Autographed Bundles

     

    DOKKEN, SLAUGHTER, AND WARRANT, ALL LIVE, ALL THE HITS, ALL ON REMASTERED 180G COLORED VINYL WITH LIMITED AUTOGRAPHED BUNDLES

    DEKO ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS THE TRIFECTA OF ’80s HARD ROCK LIVE

     

     

    Three legendary bands. Three unforgettable live albums. One epic collection.

    Deko Entertainment proudly presents The Trifecta of ’80s Hard Rock Live, featuring classic live performances from Dokken, Slaughter, and Warrant, all newly remastered and available on stunning 180g colored vinyl.

    Formed in Los Angeles in 1978, Dokken became one of hard rock’s defining acts with Billboard Hot 100 hits including “Alone Again,” “In My Dreams,” and “Burning Like a Flame.” The band has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide and remains one of the most influential names in melodic hard rock.

    Slaughter, formed in Las Vegas in 1988, exploded onto the scene with their platinum debut Stick It To Ya. The album produced three Billboard Hot 100 singles, including “Fly To The Angels” (#19), “Up All Night” (#27), and “Spend My Life” (#39), helping establish the band as one of the era’s premier hard rock acts.

    Formed in Hollywood, California, in 1984, Warrant achieved worldwide success with more than 10 million albums sold. Their double-platinum debut Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich featured the smash hit “Heaven,” which climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, while subsequent releases cemented the band’s place in rock history.

    First up is Dokken’s Live From The Sun, available as a double LP housed in a deluxe gatefold jacket on blue vinyl, with limited bundles (100 copies only) signed by Reb Beach. Recorded on November 4, 1999, at the Sun Theatre in Anaheim, California during the Erase The Slate tour, the album captures the band delivering classics including “Alone Again,” “In My Dreams,” and more. As guitarist Reb Beach recalls: “That was a great time in my life and I had so much fun on that tour. I was a big Dokken fan and I was so thrilled to play those classic songs every night. Luckily, I had a good show. There is a super long solo in the song ‘Too High To Fly’ that was totally improvised every night, and I just lucked out that it was a good one, haha! That album rocks, for sure!”

    Next is Slaughter’s Eternal Live, featuring performances recorded during late-1997 shows in Mexico City and Las Vegas. Available for the first time ever on vinyl, this LP comes packaged in a beautiful gatefold jacket on orange vinyl, with limited bundles (100 copies only) signed by Mark Slaughter and Dana Strum. One of the most significant aspects of Eternal Live is that it serves as a tribute to original guitarist Tim Kelly, who tragically lost his life in an automobile accident in 1998. These recordings capture some of Kelly’s final performances with the band and feature fan favorites including “Fly To The Angels” and “Up All Night.”

    Rounding out the collection is Warrant’s Live 86-97, making its vinyl debut as a double LP, with limited bundles (100 copies only) signed by Erik Turner and Jerry Dixon. Recorded at Harpos Concert Theatre in Detroit, Michigan, on November 22, 1996, during the tour supporting Belly To Belly, the album delivers electrifying performances of hits including “Heaven,” “Cherry Pie,” “Down Boys,” and more. Original guitarist Erik Turner comments: “Warrant Live 86-97 captures the energy, attitude and good times that we are known for. These recordings are a snapshot of Warrant doing what we’ve always loved most, playing live. Crank it up!”

    All three titles have been newly remastered for vinyl and pressed on audiophile-quality 180g colored vinyl, giving fans the opportunity to experience these classic live performances with enhanced sound and collectible packaging.

    Dokken – Live From The Sun, Slaughter – Eternal Live, and Warrant – Live 86-97 are available now for pre-order from Deko Entertainment: https://www.dekoentertainment.com/specials
