  • SINSATION Unleash Dark New Single “Save Us” | A Haunting Journey Through Redemption, Faith, And The Monsters Within – @thebeast



    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    SINSATION Unleash Dark New Single “Save Us” | A Haunting Journey Through Redemption, Faith, And The Monsters Within
    Southern California’s rising vampiric metal force SINSATION have unleashed their powerful new single, “Save Us,” available now through Sodeh Records.
    Blending crushing modern metal, groove-laden riffs, haunting melodies, and cinematic horror, “Save Us” is an emotionally charged exploration of humanity’s endless search for salvation. Wrapped in the band’s signature vampiric aesthetic, the song challenges listeners to question who the real monsters are, delivering a message that redemption is rarely simple and often forged through pain, loss, temptation, love, faith, and survival.
    Speaking about the release, the band shares:


    “‘Save Us’ is a dark and emotional metal journey that explores the many ways humanity searches for salvation. Through haunting melodies, crushing riffs, and vampiric imagery, the release examines redemption not as a single answer, but as a struggle fought through pain, loss, temptation, love, faith, and survival. ‘Save Us’ paints a world where monsters are not always evil, and humans are not always innocent.”


    Emerging from Southern California, SINSATION has quickly carved out its own identity within the metal underground by combining modern heavy music with theatrical horror and gothic storytelling. Since forming in 2019, the band has become known for its explosive live performances, cinematic visuals, and unmistakable vampire-inspired image, earning a dedicated following known as the SINSATION Nation .
    The band’s current lineup features Amy Bowman (vocals), Sammy McPherson (guitar, backing vocals), Brian Hatter (bass, vocals), Tyler Perez (guitars, backing vocals), and Tommy De La Cruz (drums). Together they deliver a relentless blend of powerful vocal melodies, crushing grooves, and horror-infused atmosphere that sets them apart from the pack.
    Produced with engineer Brian Hatter and mixed and mastered by Robert Passagno , “Save Us” captures the band’s evolving sound with massive production, dynamic songwriting, and enough bite to satisfy fans of heavy music and horror alike.
    With a growing catalog of singles and cinematic music videos, SINSATION continues to expand its reach beyond Southern California while staying true to its dark artistic vision. Whether commanding the stage at legendary venues or crafting new material in the studio, the band remains committed to delivering unforgettable experiences that blur the line between metal concert and horror spectacle.
    If you’re ready to embrace the darkness, SINSATION welcomes you into the SINSATION Nation . Just remember… once you’re in, there’s no turning back.

  • Listening Now : Coby Brown – Agatha Christie

    Coby Brown crafts a beautifully introspective piece with Agatha Christie, blending indie folk and singer-songwriter sensibilities into a thoughtful meditation on creativity, self-doubt, and artistic ambition. Gentle instrumentation, expressive vocals, and poetic lyricism create an intimate atmosphere that gradually blossoms with elegant string arrangements, adding emotional depth without overshadowing the song’s understated beauty. Every element serves the narrative, allowing vulnerability and melody to coexist in perfect balance. Sophisticated, heartfelt, and richly rewarding, Agatha Christie is a timeless composition that showcases Coby Brown’s exceptional songwriting and emotional authenticity.

Yesterday, with an official ceremony that brought together friends, family, and government officials, Putnam Avenue also became ODB Jones Way, named after Wu-Tang Clan co-founder Ol’ Dirty Bastard.

  • Badzy – …To The Bone


    You’ve surely seen some of the rave reviews for …To The Bone, the debut album from New Orleans-based Badzy. I sure don’t disagree with anything I’ve read about this record. Three years in the making, …To The Bone is pure energy and catchiness from start to finish. It hits that sweet spot where power pop, glammy punk rock ‘n’ roll, and big, hooky arena rock all crash into each other at full speed. There’s no pretension to what these guys are doing. They are throwbacks to a time when rock ‘n’ roll was loud and fun but never afraid to be radio friendly. This is a great record to throw on when you’re having a good time or want to be having a good time. The band’s sound is the epitome of powerful pop, and it’s plenty gritty enough to fit nicely within the underground punk rock ‘n’ roll bubble. But you can also tell that there’s some Def Leppard, KISS, and Cheap Trick in its spiritual DNA. Sometimes the key with rock ‘n’ roll is not taking yourself too seriously but being damn serious about the craft of songwriting. Tracks like “Say That You Will,” “Say You’re Ready,” and “Ain’t That Enuff” would be radio hits in some alternative timeline where they still play real rock ‘n’ roll on commercial radio. “Shadows” is full-on classic power pop. “Ripped Outta Time” and “Bad Til I Die” venture into heavy metal territory without a trace of irony and kick all kinds of ass. This is an absolutely killer album. I can’t help but be reminded of the early 2010s when the likes of The Mandates, Barreracudas, and WYLDLIFE were just coming on the scene. This year in music continues to please!
