Josh Garrels has been making a name for himself for quite some time now, even as far back as 2011’s Love & War & the Sea in Between. Despite your opinion on his music, it’s certainly evident he consistently aims big and doesn’t take shortcuts. His catalog consists largely of long-form albums with layers and layers of instrumentation, harmony, and production nuance. Nonetheless, it’s also not unreasonable to find his music perhaps a bit too sleepy. When an album is over an hour long, it can get tiresome – and the risk only increases when it’s acoustic instrumentation paired off with falsetto.… Continued →

A couple days ago, I made a post about the upcoming StefanOtto album, including the music video for “Body Bag” in the footer of the post. As it turns out, the production duo for that song, SoundNami, have just joined the Die Daily Team. SoundNami consists of Shamir and Great Scott, and they have produced for artists like Ruslan, Bizzle, Canon, and many others. The video below showcases various samples of their work.… Continued →

Black metal stalwarts Ascending King are back! They’ve just dropped a new single “Lignum Vitae,” which is a collaborative effort with Sebat Frost from Frost Like Ashes. Whether it’s due to that influence or not is hard to say, but the doomy elements first heard on the Ascending King EP released last year are gone this time in favor of a faster-paced black metal sound. The single can be downloaded for free here: Ascending King – Lignum Vitae… Continued →

On August 23, StefanOtto will be releasing his new album Til Heaven Comes via Menace Movement.

Check out the video for the single “Body Bag” below.… Continued →

Preface: I just want to put it out there that this is a personal opinion and my opinion alone. I am in no way advocating for a particular position and political party. / I am no expert on American Politics nor do I pretend to have all the answers. Things irritate me, positions annoy me, politics is a game. I am just so sick of it all. It’s sad when all sides of the spectrum play us as pawns in this carefully constructed game of chess, creating this madness and big budget Hollywood style extravaganza we call modern media.… Continued →

Today’s song of the day comes in the form of some punk-ska from our friends in Michigan based band – The Insyderz. I was a fan of this band dating back to 1997 when I heard their debut full length, “Motor City Ska”. The band released 3 full lengths, 2 worship/praise albums, and this final (?) full length in 2012. The song that meant the most to me and had me spinning it again was “Sinner’s Songbook”. The track features Joe’s (Yerke) gritty yet melodic, vocal delivery alongside the vocals of Reese Roper (Five Iron Frenzy), and Matt Morginsky (OC Supertones).… Continued →

I got this great tip by a fan of IVM over on our facebook page so I thought I would share right here. Rocky Gray who has played in the bands Living Sacrifice, Soul Embraced, Evanescence, and We Are The Fallen (among many others), got interviewed by Movie Geek Feed and you can find out more here. They cover his love of horror and heavy music plus some other insight into this very talented fellow. [Thanks Eric S.]… Continued →

Thumper Punk Records is stoked to announce the release of a Benefit Compilation of Surf Music to raise money for Santa Cruz based FleaHab. Founded by legendary big wave surfer Darryl “Flea” Virostko, the mission of FleaHab is to provide a sober living environment in Santa Cruz focused on physical activity, in effect replacing the high of drugs with the endorphins of exercise. Combined with a nutritional menu and access to sports, yoga and other holistic support systems such as AA, FleaHab offers a new approach to sober living – and new hope for those afflicted by drugs and alcohol.… Continued →

Introducing Central Texas' Spirit Filled, Straight Edge, Hardcore act: Perseverance. Fans of Debtor and Fire the Sun take note....

Remember “Cooler Than Me” by Mike Posner? That song used to be really cool in 2010 and was popular enough to be played at shopping malls. But maybe, perhaps, you thought yourself cooler than Mike Posner, despite his single having a lot of pizzazz and swagger. Fair enough. Well, I hate to break it to you, but Starflyer 59 is actually cooler than both of you. “We’re the Ordinary,” taken from The Fashion Focus (1998), is cool enough to freeze a hipster shopping mall on a blazing summer’s day.… Continued →

Dont ask how I came to find these guys, because the truth is, I still have no idea. Nevertheless there were certain things said if them that drew my interest and I was happy it did. AsFireFalls is a hard rock/techno/metal band from Boise, Idaho. The 4-piece is currently independent, but strike me as the type that could get snapped up by a fortunate label out there somewhere. So, look em up on Facebook, spotify, amazon, Instagram…whichever social media site we’re all clamoring off to these days and follow em.… Continued →
