French rock band Barn Hooker has released their latest single, “ANTIBLUES (Dance with the Devil),” a track that uses a gritty, western-fairground aesthetic to critique the modern trend of “miracle cures” for mental well-being. The song features a charismatic salesman peddling elixirs for the blues, serving as an ironic commentary on the commodification of suffering and the desperate pacts people make to find relief. It’s a dark, high-energy anthem that asks exactly how far someone is willing to go to feel better.
The release marks a new chapter for the band’s revamped lineup, centered around the magnetic vocals of frontwoman Joey Delish. Musically, the track stays true to the group’s “visceral” style, blending stoner rock, blues, and metal with a heavy, rhythmic groove. Designed for a raw live experience, “ANTIBLUES” solidifies Barn Hooker’s shift toward a more provocative and unrefined sound.

Hypnotic Heavy Metal Band Drops New Song + Video “Lilac”
“Music is magic, and Spell is a spell. Fundamentally, it is a forum to make our dreams come true” – Cam Mesmer
Vancouver based hypnotic heavy metal outfit Spell, will release its new LP, ‘Wretched Heart‘, on May 1 via Bad Omen Records. A shadow-drenched journey through desperation, passion and defiance, ‘Wretched Heart‘ sees Spell transform heavy metal into something urgent and human – gothic, cinematic and hypnotic. Not only Spell‘s strongest record to date but also a thunderous celebration of eccentricity which stalks its nocturnal realm with both savage finesse and beguiling charm. ‘Wretched Heart‘ is the follow-up to Spell‘s 2022 LP, ‘Tragic Magic‘, an album hailed as a celebration of “the mystique and darkness within hard rock and heavy metal“.
Pre-order/save ‘Wretched Heart‘ at this location.
The first track released from ‘Wretched Heart‘ is “Lilac“, Spell‘s most addictive and bittersweet moment to date, and a song that channels both stadium-sized passion and wistful longing. Featuring a guest guitar solo by former Spirit Adrift, Carcass, and Angel Witch man, Tom Draper, “Lilac” dances with harmony-laden metal and synth-driven gothic chills. In the song, the titular flower forms an overarching metaphor for the ephemeral and transient forms of both nature and love.

“There are many things in life that disappear so quickly and will be gone immediately if we get preoccupied and forget to enjoy them and care for them” elaborates Spell vocalist/bassist Cam Mesmer before noting, “This song isn’t really about a flower“.
‘Wretched Heart‘, in all its gory glory, embodies a very vital paradox – a record made by true believers who yearn for catharsis beyond. The oxymoron of anthems forged from steel, yet with a very human heart. Even the most cynical bystander will likely struggle not to be bewitched.

“Tipping their caps to a range of classic hard rock influences like Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Rush and even old-school Mercyful Fate, Spell captures a dreary, overcast and lo-fi vibe” – Exclaim!
“If this band was a van, they would be the raddest, most pimped out airbrushed 70′s van with plush interior and a BOOMING system. SPELL is a perfect name for them, because their songs are jamming heavy metal magic.” – Cvlt Nation
“If you like your throwback metal loaded with 70s occult magic, this may cast a spell over you.” – Angry Metal Guy
