    Good Day Noir Family,
    Ben Heyworth delivers a track that feels instantly alive, driven by a rhythmic pulse that lifts the mood within seconds.

    Bridezilla Caterpillar is Ben Heyworth’s Single Out Now

    The guitar strumming carries a distinctly country, organic flavor.

    Clean tones and well-placed fills shape a sound that invites movement, placing the listener in a vivid rural setting.

    The arrangement paints a clear picture. Hay bales, open fields, and cold beer form the backdrop. Skirts spin as people dance without restraint, caught in a moment that feels simple and essential. That imagery grows naturally from the musical choices and the steady groove that holds everything together.

    A sense of relief runs through the track. The song works like a small escape, offering lightness without losing its structure. The snare cuts through with clarity, anchoring the rhythm with precision. Crashes shimmer in the background, adding brightness without overwhelming the mix.

    Heyworth’s vocal performance carries emotional weight with restraint. His tone recalls the warmth and sincerity associated with John Denver, evoking that pastoral country feeling rooted in authenticity. He keeps it grounded, allowing the melody to breathe and connect.

    Backing vocals add depth and dimension. They reinforce the main line with subtle harmonies that enrich the chorus and give it a fuller presence. The layering enhances the melodic appeal without clutter.

    Production choices reflect a polished Nashville approach. Attention to detail stands out in every element, from the balance of instruments to the clarity of each layer. The track maintains a clean and cohesive identity from start to finish.

    “Bridezilla Caterpillar” lands as a therapeutic listen, offering a brief return to uncomplicated joy. It captures a golden hour state of mind where everything aligns, and the world feels lighter.

  • Kevin Abstract Covers Q Lazzarus’ “Goodbye Horses” With A String Ensemble

    Kevin Abstract is always full of surprises. The former Brockhampton leader and prolific solo artist recently toured Australia and New Zealand supporting Lorde, and during his time in Oceania, he paid a visit to Triple J’s studio to record a contribution to their Like A Version covers series. His chosen song is “Goodbye Horses,” the darkwave classic by Q Lazzarus made famous by The Silence Of The Lambs. Abstract was accompanied by two violins and two cellos, and he read the lyrics off his phone — partially because he thinks the Marty Mauser picture on his lockscreen looks cool, he said in a behind-the-scenes video.

    sodom2025

    Leave it to the cool folks at Decibel Books to do something great for the fans of bands like German thrash outfit Sodom. Earlier today, they announced that they’ll be releasing an English version of Sodom: The Official Authorized Biography with the blessing of the legendary German thrash outfit themselves. It will be the first time the book will be published in English.

    With just over 300 pages, the hardcover release will feature interviews with every current and past member, more than 200 rare and previously unreleased photos, and even more deep dive content for fans to sink their teeth into. The whole thing just dives into the insanity that was thrash metal in the early 80s when Sodom was working on their debut release In the Sign of Evil and breaking out.

    The official synopsis for the book reads as follows:

    “Decibel Books proudly presents Sodom: The Official Authorized Biography, the fully authorized biography of the German thrash legends Sodom, finally painstakingly translated into English!

    “With Sodom: The Official Authorized Biography, Dr. Holger Schmenk visits the deepest basement rehearsal rooms and scours the roughest pubs to unearth the unfiltered truth about Tom Angelripper and his ever-changing lineup of bandmates.

    “From their wild early days of the Witching Metal demo to their international breakthrough with Agent Orange, and right up to the present day – Schmenk tells the unvarnished story of a thrash metal legend that has gone through more guitarists than other bands have gone through amplifiers.”

    If that wasn’t enough to excite you, Decibel Books is offering an exclusive excerpt to check out before you ultimately decide to preorder the damn thing. The book is expected to ship late May/early June, so you’re gonna want to get your order in soon.
