    Poison The Well are thrilled to release Peace In Place, their first album in 16 years, out now via SharpTone Records. Listen and get it here.

    Poison The Well share the video for Weeping Tones. Watch it here:

    “There’s a quiet loss of control that comes from feeling like you can’t fully be yourself anymore,” offers singer Jeffrey Moreira. “When you have to shrink who you are just to avoid judgment or conflict, it starts to feel like something is being taken from you. That’s what ‘Weeping Tones’ is about.”

    He continues, “This video reflects that struggle, but it also holds onto something stronger — the one thing no one can take from you: Your ability to give your love and energy to the people who matter most. No matter how heavy the world gets, no matter how much it tries to pull you apart, you can always choose to keep walking until you reach what matters most — hold it close, and never let go.”

    POISON THE WELL ARE:
    Jeffrey Moriera — Vocals
    Ryan Primack — Guitar
    Vadim Taver — Guitar
    Christopher Hornbrook — Drums
    Noah Harmon — Bass

    Back in 2012, Great American Ghost rose up out of the Northeast with an undeniable and unpredictable signature style. They quietly progressed over the course of Everyone Leaves [2015], Hatred Stems From The Seed [2017], and Power Through Terror [2020] (named one of RIFF’s 60 Best Metal Albums of 2020), while tallying millions of streams. Leveling up, 2022’s Torture World EP earned widespread acclaim. NO ECHO christened it “a 4-song EP as brutal as its title suggests,” and V13 raved, “It may only be four tracks long but every single one of these fourteen savage minutes will absolutely maul you to within an inch of your life.” Along the way, they toured with everyone from The Ghost Inside to Alpha Wolf and Fit For A King. Signing to Sharptone Records, they hit the studio with producer Will Putney and crafted Tragedy Of The Commons, which arrived in early 2025.

  • Album Review: Tyketto-Closer to the Sun

     

    Words written by Anselm Anderson

    It’s refreshing to receive an album full of cheer and good vibes in a world of doom and gloom, where many bands focus on expressing their anger over social and political issues. Tyketto offers something fresh with their new album “Closer to the Sun.”

    The ten track release is full of anthemic tracks and stories of wisdom about loss, loves and pleasures. The album, freshly released by the renowned Silver Lining Music, was recorded in various studios across the UK and Europe, including Flip Flop Studios and the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales. The band’s blend of radio-friendly tunes with a bluesy edge is reminiscent of early Aerosmith, with every track crafted for pure enjoyment.

    As a young rock fan, I first discovered Tyketto through their 1991 debut album Don’t Come Easy, after a friend made me a tape of it. The band had more of a glam metal vibe back then, but the charismatic Danny Vaughan still led them with warmth and passion. He’s still the only remaining member from the original lineup, which was formed in 1987 in New Jersey, USA. Vaughan is joined by  Harry Scott Elliott on guitar, Ged Rylands on keyboards, Chris Childs (Thunder) on bass and Johnny Dee (Doro) on drums. This combination adds warmth and clarity to the music, as the band beam from on all angles on the music video releases. They look like a band at peace and enjoying themselves.


    Let’s start with the review!

    The album starts with arguably the standout track “Higher than High”, a bluesy track full of charm and swagger. This is where the album takes a turn with more anthemic and powerful ballads, such as “Start a Feeling”, “Bad For Good” and “”Closer to the Sun” slows the momentum of the releases, padding it with slower tracks that make it feel like it has run out of steam. Tracks like “We Rise” and “Donnowhuddis” are rockier, packed with rock ‘n’ roll and blues vibes reminiscent of bands like Thunder. These songs bring an extra spark to the release.

    The second half of the album really takes off with “Harleys and Indians (Riders in the Sky),” filled with gospel, soul, and harmonica. It’s a fantastic Americana track that lifts the listener’s spirits. The album wraps up with nostalgic tunes like “Hit Me Where It Hurts,” before settling into the heartfelt ballads of “The Picture,” “Far Away,” and “The Brave.”

    Overall, Tyketto delivers a collection of heartwarming, nostalgic feel-good tracks sure to please the average rock fan. At times, the slower songs outnumber the rockier ones, which can feel a bit tiring. Still, this is a solid rock album for anyone seeking a refreshing break from the doom and gloom of today’s music scene.

  • Ice Nine Kills Presents ‘Hell Or High Slaughter (Grave Diggler Pt. 2)’

    Their sons may have eclipsed them in the 21st Century, but for a sleazy moment, GRAVE DIGGLER left its stain on hard partying rock n’ roll with decadence, desecrations, and panty raids. The group once stood shoulder to shoulder with their eyeliner-and-excess peers in Poison, Mötley Crüe, and W.A.S.P., before bad business and even worse […]

  • Zeruel Announces Debut Album ‘RUIN; REBIRTH’

    Zeruel, one of the latest acts to join the Rise Records family, has announced the details of their debut full-length album.


    Since releasing their first music in 2023, the last three years have seen Zeruel build an underground following within the ever-widening shoegaze community. Their last full release came in 2024 in the form of debut EP ‘Awakening’, which clearly pricked up the ears of those over at Rise. And if you were lucky enough to catch them opening for Deafheaven in the UK and Europe last year, you will have had the exact same reaction.

    SO, to now. The new record will be called ‘RUIN; REBIRTH’ and will be released on June 19.

    The artwork is absolutely stunning and looks like this:


    And the tracklisting is like this:

    1. Ruin
    2. For an Angel Who’s Fallen
    3. What Future Awaits
    4. Limbo
    5. Archeia
    6. Rest
    7. Merciful
    8. Before We Sleep
    9. Resurgence Befalls
    10. Vessels Of Light
    11. Return By Dawn
    12. A Feather Falling With Wind
    13. Rebirth

    And a new taste of it is out in the world now, too, and that is ‘Limbo’. A beautifully paced and wonderfully dark slice of atmospheric tension, it serves as a deep look into the heart of the project. As tear-stained as it is tenacious, ethereal as it is enrapturing, it’s the sort of song that clings to you and refuses to let go. Every ebb and flow sinks deeper into your psyche.

    Basically, it’s absolutely ace.


    You can also hear the previously released ‘Vessels Of Light’:


    And ‘Return By Dawn’:
