New York Metallers Damn Your Eyes has just unleashed their debut full-length, Kill The Outside (available via iTunes/Apple Music (affiliate link)), and this week, they’ve also premiered a new music video for the track “Through It All”, which you can check out via Outburn Magazine right here. Guitarist Artie Alexander says of the new album, “Kill The Outside is our response to the people that have the words ‘you can’t’ or ‘it’s too hard’ in their vocabulary and use these words on a regular basis. It’s about focusing your efforts to try and achieve your personal best at any age. This album is about life on life’s terms. No matter what happens, there is something to be learned and gained from every single experience this life provides. We are very proud of this record and we truly believe when given an honest listen there will be something that everyone can relate to within its songs. Plus, it’s heavy and catchy as fuck!” Keep up the band via: https://www.facebook.com/SteeleGroveStudio/.

Demon Hunter has just unleashed a brand-new music video, one for a track off their recent venture, the first of the two-album series formed by War and Peace. You can check out “The Negative” (off War) right here.

Here’s a look into the making of the clip from frontman Ryan Clark: “The video for ‘The Negative’ was directed and edited by Oleg Masnyy. Oleg and I shot a variety of vignettes—including myself singing the song—as well as a number of moving objects to create texture and diversity. We paired our shots with found footage, and edited the entire thing in a highly-crushed monochromatic style, utilizing only stark black, white, and red. Our goal was to create something that felt gritty and punk —like the song itself— influenced by ’90s DIY show posters and silkscreen shirt graphics. The images, scenes, and objects themselves tie into the theme of the song, which is—to put it simply—the consistency of humankind’s failure”.

The band is set for a run of special shows this summer, as An Evening With Demon Hunter will hit 10 North American cities in the months of August and September, before the Seattle Metallers land at the Louder Than Life festival in Louisville, KY on September 29^th.

The Agonist are bringing the latest chapter in their Extreme Metal discography out of Canada this fall, with their sixth studio record, Orphans, set to be out via Rodeostar Records on September 20^th – this week, you can get an early taste of the album with their new video for “Burn It All Down” right here.

The video was directed by The Agonist’s own bassist, Chris Evans, who says of the shoot, “When the band had first decided to make “Burn it all Down” a music video, naturally I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to make a high intensity video that portrayed Vicky’s anger in delivering the lyrics, all while a blazing inferno is happening behind the band. It wasn’t an easy task to make happen! I thought I had it all figured out with my video team but none of us had ever done a fire shoot before. Normally we take our time in setting up the lighting and over analyzing the shots to make sure what works best in the moment. There was absolutely no time for that. Once we lit the fire, it was a race right till the end to make sure we kept it blazing and high all while trying to get every one of our scheduled shots in. In the end everything worked out, we didn’t burn down a field, nobody got hurt, just singed, and we all hustled to make sure we got everything done that was needed”.

Of Mice & Men has just released a new music video for the title track off their upcoming earthandsky, in the form of “Earth & Sky”, which you can check out right here. Here’s what singer/bassist Aaron Pauley has to say about this track: “’Earth & Sky’ is a song about resilience. It’s about understanding that you can rise above whatever it is that keeps trying to drag you down, no matter what. For me, a lot of the time, I’m writing about battling with my own mind. For you, it may be a person, or an obstacle, or a circumstance. Regardless of whatever it is that’s trying relentlessly to drag you down, I hope this song empowers you to rise above it with authority, like it does me every time I sing it”.

Of Mice & Men will head out on the Earth Tour alongside For The Fallen Dreams, Thousand Below, Bloodbather, running September 23^rd-October 19^th. For the full listing of tour dates, head to: https://www.ofmiceandmenofficial.com/. 

Fit For An Autopsy recently announced the completion of their upcoming fifth studio album, to be revealed to the world in the fall. This week, the band has officially revealed the title, The Sea of Tragic Beasts, and unleashed a music video for the haunting first single, “Mirrors”, which you can check out right here. Co-founding Guitarist/Producer Will Putney says of the track, “You carry things with you, for better or worse. ‘Mirrors’ illustrates the darker side of this idea. It’s also a testament to how the decisions you make can have a resonating effect on the ones around you. Clearly this song was born out of a personal struggle, but in end it’s a reflection on the greater human condition of love and dependency; not being able to release yourself from the darkness around you. Our new record dives head-on into some difficult topics, ‘Mirrors’ is the tip of the iceberg”.

The Sea of Tragic Beasts is set for an October 25^th release via Nuclear Blast Records, and another announcement for this week is the release tour in support of the record, taking Fit For An Autopsy across the U.S. for 26 dates in October and November.
