  • Graphic Nature Release Gritty New Track ‘Faceless’

    Graphic Nature have kicked off a new chapter of their intense story with a new track, their first for new label Century Media Records.


    Titled ‘Faceless’, it finds the best in a typically bludgeoning mood, incorporating even more of the gritty and discomforting nu-metal traits that they pull so lovingly from. Off-kilter guitar licks akin to Korn at their most skin-crawling bounce off downbeat riffs and machine gun drums, before delivering a real killer blow of a breakdown. It’s unhinged, unrelenting and unbelievably brilliant.

    Bloodthirsty in all the right ways and ready to conquer even more than they already have. That’s the Graphic Nature way.

    Vocalist Harvey Freeman had this to say about the track and the position the band find themselves in right now:

    “Faceless is the beginning of the new era of Graphic Nature. We spent a lot of time working on what we wanted to get out of the new sound, our collective influences helped pave the way for what we’ve created. We are pleased to announce this single will be released via our new record label Century Media.”


    The track is the band’s first new music since their sensational 2024 album ‘Who Are You When No One Is Watching?’ Here is ‘Human’ from that very album:


    The band will be playing a handful of shows over the next few months, including their biggest ever headline show. Here they are:

  • Magnolia Park Sells Out The Waiting Room on the Nights After VAMP Tour

    PAM WHISENHUNT | Go Venue Magazine

    Magnolia Park brought their Nights After VAMP Tour to Omaha, NE on April 7th, selling out The Waiting Room Lounge. Only four shows into the run, the Orlando-based quintet already had the place packed wall to wall. People showed up early and they brought the energy with them.

    For those unfamiliar, Magnolia Park uniquely blends pop-punk, nu-metal, hip-hop, and metalcore into something that doesn’t sound quite like anything else out there.

    Pinknoise kicked the night off. Their catalog is still small, but what they have hits. If you’ve caught their track “Rain” with Wind Walkers on SiriusXM’s Octane, you already know vocalist Kasey Foxx can do it all; screams, melodies, and everything in between. A solid opening set that set the tone for the night.

    Silly Goose was next and they were ready to make an impression. I had been looking forward to seeing this band for a while. I’m loving their rock-rap style but I was not prepared for their live show. It was nonstop, in-your-face energy from the moment they took the stage. Frontman Jackson Foster was the ringleader, pacing the stage, working the crowd, encouraging crowd surfing, and surfing the crowd himself more than once. At one point Jackson asked how many people in the room had heard of them before tonight. A few hollered. Then he asked how many were just now finding out about them and the place erupted. Regardless of the fact that most had no idea who they were, Silly Goose had everyone completely locked in. They owned that crowd from start to finish.

    Then it was time for Magnolia Park. The front rail was loaded with fans who had done the VIP experience earlier in the evening. For many of them, this was their first time seeing the band live and you could feel the anticipation in the room. Magnolia Park ripped through a heavy run of songs including “Animal,” “SHADOW TALK,” “HIGH,” “CULT,” “CHASING SHADOWS,” “WORSHIP,” “DANGEROUS,” and “ASK FOR IT” before bringing Kasey Foxx back out to perform their recent collab “CRAVE.” They closed the main set with their biggest song to date, “SHALLOW,” shouting out to all the women and queens in the house.

    After a brief exit, they came back out and had two more left in the tank. First up was a Disney cover “I2I,” from the 1995 A Goofy Movie soundtrack and the reaction was something else. Watching a sold-out rock crowd lose their minds to a thirty-year-old Disney song says a lot about who was in the audience. Magnolia Park wrapped the night with “Misfits,” and that was that.

    The Nights After VAMP Tour still has a long way to go, with dates continuing through May and festival runs in Europe lined up after that. If this Omaha show is any indication of what the rest of the run looks like, every city on that list is in for a great night.

  • INFERI – Heaven Wept Review

    For a band that takes its namesake from a Harry Potter reference (ew), Nashville’s INFERI are infinitely more brutal than its original inspiration. Blending searing speed, flashy technicality, and death metal intensity, INFERI have been at the forefront of tech death for over fifteen years now, and their latest release, Heaven Wept, comes after a five-year gap. With such a chasm between their releases, is Heaven Wept a reformation for the band or a refinement of their sound?

    Heaven Wept establishes itself quickly, and the band sounds tighter than ever. Immediately apparent is Stevie Boiser’s vocals, which flit from screeching highs, boastful mids, and throat-wrinkling lows. Boiser doesn’t seem to have a weak point when it comes to his capabilities, and he leads tracks along like a malicious conductor (not unlike Trevor Strnad of The Black Dahlia Murder, RIP). For INFERI, the technical prowess expands beyond just the instruments, and the vocals on display across Heaven Wept are bound to make an impression. Not to be overtaken, guitarists Malcom Pugh and Sanjay Kumar showcase their axe mastery throughout. A majority of the tracks feature individual solos by each, and none of them overstay their welcome. If they aren’t competing in shredding territory, they work in tandem on solos in the remainder of the songs. Spencer Moore’s drums round out INFERI’s sound, and in a rare turn, they sound surprisingly natural for a tech death band. Perhaps the melodic aspect of INFERI’s core sound helps keep Moore’s drums from becoming robotic, and his playing spans core stylings, technical blowouts, and military marches, never staying in one space for too long.

    While Heaven Wept is by no means a stylistic change-up from their previous work, the latest record utilizes more dissonant harmonies and tends to feel more ethereal as a result. Combine that with some symphonic backing, and you have an atmospheric album without relying on overly long instrumental passages that break up the pacing. INFERI takes the melodic part of technical melodic death metal very seriously, and Heaven Wept is surprisingly catchy and approachable, while still being so dense that I imagine listeners will discover new secrets after numerous listens. “The Rapture of Dead Light” calls to mind melodic death metal masters The Black Dahlia Murder while combining some light core elements (don’t worry, INFERI is not a deathcore band now). The band smartly uses crushing breakdowns but only at a minimum, and where they have the most impact.

    Heaven Wept doesn’t waste a second, coming in at eight tracks and under forty minutes, the album is pure face-melting goodness throughout. Every band member lays it all out on each song, and I wouldn’t call a single one a miss. The title track is a stylistic standout, slowing things down with a lumbering staccato riff that worms its way throughout the song. Boiser’s vocals follow along with the riff, punctuating the melody while also adding a bit of slam to Heaven Wept’s complex sound. “Of Rotted Wombs” is oozing with atmosphere, with a backing organ, a choir, and wailing guitars that pull emotion from every string. It is a track that feels huge without relying on a bunch of pomp and circumstance. Despite the inclusion of the aforementioned organ and choir, they are a small part of the song and only appear in the background. The incredible solo from Kumar in the back half of the track ties a bow on an album highlight.

    Heaven Wept could very well be INFERI’s best work yet. Dripping with style and substance, as well as piling on the atmosphere without resorting to trite methods or wasteful interludes, this is an album that is solid throughout. It isn’t without its flaws; the low end is basically non-existent, and even the band plays live without a bassist. There are occasional bass flourishes on the album that remind me of Job for a Cowboy’s Sun Eater at times, but they are few and far between. The album also lacks the instrumental flair of 2018’s Revenant, and fans looking for a return to that record will be disappointed. Overall, these are nitpicks for an album that nails everything it sets out to do and then some. INFERI have shown that they can stand tall as the masters of modern technical melodic death metal without losing sight of what brought them there in the first place. Heaven Wept epitomizes the idea of metal at every turn and will likely have something to offer any earnest listener.
