Metal Allegiance announce new EP, "Fallen Heroes" out August 12th!

-
announce new EP, »Fallen Heroes,« out August 12th!

Heavy metal is more than a genre, more than an attitude and certainly more than whatever cheap epithets are dismissively thrown at it by clueless critics. At its best, metal is a lifestyle, a community, a tribe uniting people across cultural, economic and philosophical divides with the primal pulse of bombastic and majestic expression.

METAL ALLEGIANCE have announced they will release a special EP, entitled »Fallen Heroes,«on August 12, 2016. The band united to pay homage to the 3 legends - Lemmy Kilmister, David Bowie, and Glenn Frey - who impacted not just their lives but the world as well.

"The end of 2015 and most of 2016 has been a brutal year with many of our heroes passing,"comments Mark Menghi. "When Portnoy called me in January to alert me that Glenn Frey had passed, I literally broke down. That night after having a few Tequila Sunrises in Glenn's honor, a lightbulb went off... We're going to record a few tunes to honor our fallen heroes. I called back Mike that evening and asked him what he thought and the next day we were in the studio recording. By weeks end, all guitars, drums and bass were complete. I can't begin to explain the influence that Glenn Frey, Lemmy, and David Bowie had on me. Each of their music has helped me immensely during some real dark periods of my life and not to mention their influence on me as a musician and songwriter. Lemmy is God, Glenn is King and David is the Architect."

Alex Skolnick comments: "These brilliant artists have an extensive catalogue that is sometimes on the softer side (with the exception of MOTÖRHEAD, of course). So when it came to THE EAGLES & BOWIE, we specifically chose tunes of theirs that are riff-based and translatable to high energy arrangements. For Lemmy, we immediately crossed out 'Ace Of Spades' (great tune but the last thing the world needs is yet another cover version) and chose 'Iron Fist,' which we already had a good handle on from playing live and to us is every bit as much a signature MOTÖRHEAD tune."

"I'm really excited to be a part of the »Fallen Heroes« EP," comments Alissa White-Gluz. "I think we have all felt the weight of losing so many great musicians this year. I think these songs are a cool way to pay tribute to a few people who contributed so much to the world of music and showcase a different side of ourselves."

Recorded at Conclave Studios in New York City, Fallen Heroes was produced by Mark Menghiand Alex Skolnick. The album was mixed by Jay Ruston in Los Angeles, CA and mastered atSterling Sound New York City by Ted Jensen. The initial sketch of the artwork was created byMark Menghi and Stephen Thompson (ANTHRAX) and was later finalized by Marcelo Vasco(SLAYER).

Below is the track list for »Fallen Heroes«:

01. Iron Fist (feat. Troy Sanders)
02. Suffragette City (feat. Mark Osegueda)
03. Life In The Fast Lane (feat. Alissa White-Gluz)

Guitars: Alex Skolnick
Bass: Mark Menghi
Drums: Mike Portnoy

METAL ALLEGIANCE took the news of Lemmy's passing very hard as the bands very first gig was on MOTÖRHEAD's first Motörboat Cruise. It was on that boat where the idea to write a record together and carry the MA flag as a brand/band rather than a sporadic, special event show... all of us in MA are humbly grateful for the opportunity that team MOTÖRHEAD gave us.

In late 2015, the band scheduled a West Coast string of intimate club dates with a stop as the world-famous Whisky A Go-Go. The year concluded with the band heartbroken saying goodbye to their beloved friend. They later found out that his funeral and memorial services would be held the day of their performance. The band was asked by their tour agent who is also MOTÖRHEAD's agent, Lemmy's management, close friends of his, and the owner of the Rainbow and Whisky to incorporate a tribute which of course, they obliged. The day of their performance, Sunset Blvd. was shut down and their bus was parked on a street filled with tears, madness, partiers and a sea of mourning metal heads. They said goodbye to their friend that evening with help from MOTÖRHEADdrummer Mikkey Dee amongst a ton of other special guests.

The next day they played their final show at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco. Mid-set they were informed that David Bowie had passed. Mark Menghi comments: "I remember coming off stage to trade bass duties with David Ellefson (we would rotate songs) and he stopped me, looked me and Osegueda in the eyes and said "Dude, Bowie just passed away." Literally in mid-set we got that news. I looked at Mark and he was in tears. Not even a minute later, he was on stage telling the Bay Area crowd of the news he just learned. I turned to the side and looked over at Mike Portnoy and he just had his head down with his hands over his head trying to comprehend what Mark was saying. The next few songs was our Lemmy tribute and tears rolled off all of our eyes while paying tribute to one while learning of the passing of another."

Elm Street release new album ‘Knock ‘Em Out...With A Metal Fist’

Having been an active band since 2003 and taking worldwide stages by storm after their Massacre Records debut ‘Barbed Wire Metal’ in 2011, Melbourne’s ELM STREET return with their 2nd full-length album and this time their music packs a METAL punch. ‘Knock ‘Em Out...With A Metal Fist’ is out now via Firestarter Distribution and features years of hard work and dedication that has shaped the band into a leading force in the heavy metal genre. Years have passed and the years have seen ELM STREET tour Europe on multiple occasions, along with visits to the USA & Australia show with legendary bands like Iced Earth, Sepultura, Coroner, Accept, Tankard & Hammerfall. These real life experiences, along with many others, have painted a strong sound which ELM STREET now showcases in their new album. Australian & European fans received a glimpse of the new album when the band took their ‘Heart Racer EP’ on the road during 2015.

Buy ‘Knock ‘Em Out...With A Metal Fist’ online HERE

Check Out Kiss The Canvas (Official Lyric Video)

This excitement was felt by many and led to ELM STREET renewing their album deal with Massacre Records and focusing on the release of ‘Knock ‘Em Out...With A Metal Fist’ The new album again features production by Ermin Hamidovic from Systematic Productions (who already worked with the band on ‘Barbed Wire Metal’) and features an iconic artwork by Ken Kelly, who has only worked with a handful of bands such as KISS & Manowar. Words are only words, but if Heavy Metal is your genre of choice OR you’re in need of some energetic music then ‘Knock ‘Em Out...With A Metal Fist’ will be spinning on your record player for years to come!

For many extreme music fans, it may be hard to remember a time before DESPISED ICON, given the massive influence they've subsequently had on the genre. But when the group formed back in 2002 and released »Consumed By Your Poison« the same year, there was little intersection between the sounds of classic death metal and the brute force of hardcore. But DESPISED ICON were among the first to fully embrace the signatures of the traditional death metal formula combined with a relentless embrace of breakdowns, part of an emerging new sound.

Now DESPISED ICON have returned with their upcoming album entitled, »Beast«. The genre-defining band is fully reawakened, poised to recapture the crown with the monstrous and merciless might of their potent expression. Featuring the men responsible for most of the band's now classic death metal catalog, »Beast« is a vicious commentary on the state of the world and the state of music itself.

Joakim Brodén and Fabio Lione on new album;
pre-order launched!

Swedish adventure metallers, TWILIGHT FORCE, are set to release their new studio album»Heroes Of Mighty Magic« on August 26th through Nuclear Blast. Today, the band can proudly announce the guest bards on their forthcoming record. Fabio Lione from RHAPSODY OF FIRE joined them on 'There And Back Again' and Joakim Brodén from SABATON on the title track, 'Heroes Of Mighty Magic'.

Joakim commented:
"When one of the best bands to come out of Sweden in a long time turns out to be your friends and people you have played with many times over the years, it's quite easy to feel proud about being invited to sing on the title-track on their new album, fantastic!"

The band adds:
"It is an honour to have two of the most powerful, esteemed and renowned voices of the genre appear on »Heroes Of Mighty Magic«. Joakim Brodén and Fabio Lione are two very different sonic entities. They each bring something very unique and captivating to our tonal landscape. Our old and revered friend Joakim appears on the title track of the album, and provides an excellent contrast to Chrileon's voice, at just the right moment in the song. Nothing in the world even comes close to Joakim's unbelievably mighty voice! Fabio did an amazing performance on 'There And Back Again'. He entered the Twilight Forge with a brave and proud mind, emerged victoriously and left us in complete awe. His familiar voice provided the track with an absolutely magical contribution. We feel really humbled and grateful to have been given the opportunity to create something alongside these two titans of the genre!"
