HOMICYDE Drop Powerful New Video “Puppet to Disease” as The Riff Rampage Tour Reaches Midpoint

South Carolina Melodic Death Metal Crushers Keep the Momentum Rolling With Slam Worldwide Video Premiere
For Fans Of: The Black Dahlia Murder, Cattle Decapitation, Gojira, Orbit Culture
Charleston, SC – With The Riff Rampage Tour now hitting its halfway mark, South Carolina melodic death metal powerhouse HOMICYDE have unleashed their latest music video for “Puppet to Disease,” premiering through Slam Worldwide while the band continues bringing their devastating live show across the East Coast and Southeast.
Taken from their acclaimed album Immortal , “Puppet to Disease” showcases HOMICYDE’s trademark blend of razor-sharp riffs, crushing grooves, blistering intensity, and emotionally charged songwriting. The new video arrives at the perfect moment, giving both longtime fans and newcomers another glimpse into the band’s uncompromising vision as they continue carving their own path through the underground metal scene.
Vocalist Jacob Parrott explains the deeper meaning behind the track:


“Age comes for us all eventually. Whether it be the mind or the body, we all start to slowly wither towards finality. This song is about that grim realization. Do what makes you feel whole and happy NOW! Make memories. Cherish others. Let people know they matter. Love yourself. Never take it for granted. One day it won’t be here.”


Recorded and mastered at Exodian Studios , Immortal continues to earn praise for its balance of technical precision, relentless aggression, and memorable melodic passages. Since forming in 2010, brothers Carl Parrott (drums), Jacob Parrott (vocals), and Shane Parrott (bass), alongside guitarists Wayne Palmer and Thomas Weidick , have built HOMICYDE into one of the Southeast’s hardest-working independent melodic death metal acts.
The band remains fully committed to the DIY ethic, booking their own tours, building their audience one show at a time, and delivering uncompromising performances night after night.

Black Sabbath legends Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward have shared messages on the first anniversary of Ozzy Osbourne's death today (July 22). Continue reading…

Best known as the vocalist and one of two guitarists in Dutch post-metal quartet Gavran, Jamie Kobić will release his first album as Svjetlost this Friday. The seeds of the solo project, whose name translates to light in Bosnian, were planted two years ago when Kobić teamed up with his Gavran bandmates to release a split EP titled Ocean of Silence. The titular track hinted at the sparser, more solitary nature of the project. If Gavran’s side of the EP was an emotional roller coaster of cathartic peaks and heart-rending valleys, Svjetlost’s contribution (contrary to what the project’s name implied) sounded ritualistic and haunted by an internalized gloom screaming to be released. 

Now, six months after the release of Gavran’s The One Who Propels, Kobić is ready to take his next step as a composer and performer with The Forever Silent. The record is noticeably darker and more personal than his work in Gavran, filled with bittersweet reflections on his Bosnian heritage. Kobić shares that one crucial source of inspiration was found in sevdah, a musical tradition intrinsically tied to the region’s tumultuous history. This isn’t to say that Kobić is here to make a saz-driven folk metal album, but rather that The Forever Silent’s sonic heaviness mirrors its emotional depth. Titanic sequences of downtuned riffs meet ascetic chants that induce a trancelike state in both performer and listener. Contemplative cascades of clean guitar explode into a field of golden petals as spring breathes life back into a wartorn landscape. The piercing cry of an owl echoes throughout the craggy mountain peaks, mournful yet alert, as night darkens the Dinarides beneath its shadowy wings. 

Experience all of this and more through an exclusive early stream of The Forever Silent:

Kobić shared this message regarding the album and its upcoming live debut:

After more than five years of listening and being inspired by the doom and stoner bands we all love, my first take on that sound is finally out in the open. It’s become a very personal record in which hopefully others can find many things that they’ll love: hypnotic passages, chords that seem to never end, gut-punching riffs, psychedelic atmospheres and a kind of warmth and melancholy you would find in the region where my roots lie. Next month I’ll premiere the album at the second edition of the Duister Collectief Festival in the Netherlands. I can’t wait to perform some of these tracks on stage.

The Forever Silent releases this Friday, July 24th, via Shadow of Sorrow Records.

Demi Lovato’s catalog follows one of modern pop music’s most dramatic artistic evolutions, moving from Disney soundtracks and youthful pop rock to R&B, vulnerable ballads, hard-edged rock, dance-pop, collaborations, soundtrack recordings, and reinvented versions of career-defining hits.

156/Silence have once again shown off how visceral and varied their new album ‘From A Distance’ is set to be with a fantastic new offering.

The track in question is ‘Swept From Under (Call of the Void)’, and it finds the band at their most raw and melodic in equal measure. With a chorus that floats like a spectre through eternity, and verses and bridges that demonstrate just how throat-shredding vocalist Jack Murray can deliver, it’s a perfect yin and yang of everything they represent.

It is terrifying and tranquil, harsh and haunting. More than anything, it is spellbinding.

The band had this to say about the track:

“The call of the void is the voice in our heads that wants to self-destruct even when we don’t feel bad. A compulsion to hurt ourselves even if we don’t want to. Being swept from under by intrusive thoughts.”

‘From A Distance’, it is set for release on September 04 via Pure Noise Records.

Here is another taste in the form of ‘No Arms’:

Neil Young deserves more than one tribute album. He has written too many great songs and made too much of an impact, and one compilations of Neil Young covers won’t do the trick, no matter how impressive it may be. Last year’s Heart Of Gold: The Songs Of Neil Young Volume I featured people like Fiona Apple and Eddie Vedder taking on Young’s songs. The “Volume I” part of that title was key. Today, the series announces two more installments, with many more covers.
