Well, that didn’t last long. On Tuesday, Courtney Love posted an Instagram video of former Hole bassist Melissa Auf der Maur, setting it to Hole’s 1999 classic “Malibu.” Love captioned the post, “So do we tell the kids about the tour @xmadmx ?” Naturally, this led to plenty of speculation about a Hole reunion, a possibility that Love has alternately teased and refuted many times over the years. But now, Love herself is here to clarify things: “No Hole reunion.” Damn.

Mexico City modern metallers Red Sands released their new six-track EP, Evocations, back in January. Today they reveal this video is for the track, “System,” a song the band say is at the heart of the recent release.
“‘System’ is a song to denounce the corruption of our politicians, the hypocrisy of the clergy, and the environmental catastrophe caused by rapacious corporations,” the band say about the song. “Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death, the Four Horsemen, morphed into evil political, religious, and economic powers that have shaped our lives in recent years.”
Formed in Mexico City in 2012 when brothers Daniel and Eric Novelo joined forces with their cousin Juan Carlos León, Red Sands play a unique blend of classic and metal metal. Produced by Daniel Novelo and featuring contributions from acclaimed engineers and guest artists, Evocations also includes artwork created by vocalist and visual artist Jonathan Corral.

Pennsylvania metal outfit THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE are pleased to unleash their video for their latest single, “Make It To Heaven,” featuring David Simonich of Signs Of The Swarm. The track comes by way of the band’s forthcoming new full-length, The Dead Ones, set for release on April 17th via Metal Blade Records.
Offers vocalist Tyler Beam on the track, “Growing up as a young artist in a conservative Christian environment, I was no stranger to being influenced to take different paths. As I grew up, I began to realize that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. You’re here now and no matter what anyone could tell you, no one knows what comes after all of this. You have one chance to experience being human, so why squander it on anything. Don’t let anyone tell you what you can and can’t do, go out into the world and turn it upside down.”

Intense and intensely personal, The Dead Ones marks THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE‘s Metal Blade Records debut. For the ten original tracks of pulverizing deathcore produced by Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland of Pennsylvania’s Atrium Audio, the band focused on the guitar, bass, and drum tones as well as the mix/master to achieve what guitarist Wyatt McLaughlin calls, “a super-thick sonic output and ‘rolling-tank’-like feel.“
In addition to Simonich on “Make It to Heaven,” the record features guest appearances by Nate Johnson (ex-Fit For An Autopsy) on “Rat Trap,” Alan Grnja of Distant on “Dollar To A Dime“, and original THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE vocalist Storm Strope on “XXXXXXXXXX.”
Notes Beam, “After a few years of touring and writing together, I think the four of us have really began to figure out what this new era is. We love and have always loved what this band was at its core, and we don’t ever want to stray from it, and with this album we have found a way to consolidate what makes this band unique at its core along with bringing our own new flavors to the table. We wanted it to be the heaviest shit you’ve ever heard while also digging itself into your brain so it can stick in your head. We’ve found what kind of songs we like to write and we’re sticking to it.“
The Dead Ones was recorded with a six-string baritone Viper from ESP-LTD tuned to Drop F, the same tuning used on the band’s 2012 Warpath EP. To elevate the intensity, the band also used an Earthquaker Devices Sunn O))) and Keeley Octa Psi drop tune pedal on certain sections.
The Dead Ones will be released on CD and digital formats as well as vinyl in the following color variants:
Tan Smoke (US)
Purple Marbled (US)
Grey Black Marbled (EU – Ltd. 300)
Metallic Silver w/ Purple and Blue Smoke (EU – Ltd. 250)
Silver Black Melt (EU – Ltd. 250)

Meat-and-potatoes heavy metal gets a lot of shit. Done just right, however, nothing else hits the spot quite like the blend of big riffs and haunting melodies, easy crooning and guttural roars. Almost 20 years since they first bulldozed out of Oxford, Desert Storm have iron-fastened themselves as a fixture on the British underground, rarely failing to leave necks wrecked and beers spilled in these isles’ countless back bars and bunker stops. But titanic seventh album Buried Under The Weight Of Reason underlines a talent that’s world class.
Greatness starts at home, mind. Working under that sandblasted band name, one might expect sounds channelling modern warfare in exotic climes – and there is no lack of shock and awe – but this is music rooted in England. From Kacper Gilka’s Shakespearean artwork to songs like Newfound Respect and Shamanic Echoes whose lineage can be traced back through Orange Goblin and Cathedral to the mighty Black Sabbath, they revel under the weight of history. There’s even a folksy hint of Led Zeppelin on the brilliant Woodsman.
Building on those sturdy foundations, they layer on dazzling colour and intoxicating heft. The latter-day blues-rock of Maryland riff masters Clutch remains a telling reference point as Cut Your Teeth veers between sledgehammer impact and easy noodling, or Law Unto Myself hits its gleeful gallop. More often, though, with drummer/guitarist twins Elliot and Ryan Cole leading the charge, they go for the palatial grandiosity and dump truck tonnage of High On Fire, with Rot To Ruin and Dripback custom-tooled to separate skulls from spines. But as churning closer Twelve Seasons reverts back to joyous Sabbath worship, it’s a poignant reminder not to overanalyse and simply enjoy heavy music at its groovy, growly, undiluted best.
Verdict: 4/5
For fans of: Orange Goblin, High On Fire, Clutch
Buried Under The Weight Of Reason is released on March 6 via Heavy Psych Sounds.

(written by Islander) On March 6th (a Bandcamp Friday) the Rotted Life label will release a rotten and ruinous new EP by Baltimore’s Putrisect, their third EP overall and their first new music since 2018’s Cascading Inferno. The label previews it this way: Six tracks (including a cover of Machetazo’s “Espectro”) of crushing, malevolent, death […]
