DIE ANTWOORD ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM, RELEASE "BANANA BRAIN"

DIE ANTWOORD ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM  
MOUNT NINJI AND DA NICE TIME KID 

ALBUM TO BE RELEASED SEPTEMBER 16th FEAT. THE BLACK GOAT AND GOD

FIRST SINGLE "BANANA BRAIN" AVAILABLE AS INSTANT GRAT WITH PRE-ORDER OF THE NEW ALBUM 

LISTEN HERE: http://smarturl.it/da_bananabrain 
"When Ninji, ¥o-landi and God hooked up with The Black Goat and started recording Die Antwoord's 4th album around 2 years ago the mood of the tracks we started banging out was rough and tough and mischeivious and wild and hard and dark and at that point we were going to call this album RATS RULE, because in life you get the champions and the underdogs and in our minds we sometimes feel like 1 level below the underdogs in this fucked up pop world, but we also know our time is coming, and soon we gonna take over this whole bitch. So anyway, then we made some more tracks and the core of the album stayed all dark and ratty but a new layer oozed out around our dark core that was kinda mental and lunatic and random and juicy and 2 much fun and so we changed the name of our album to WE HAVE CANDY. Then recently while we was finishing up this album another layer exploded out of our dark wild juicy core like a giant supernatural mega aura and suddenly our album was so epic and sometimes vulnerable and sometimes sweet and romantic and so brave and full of mystery and win. Like when you going through hell, and the mission feels impossible, but you not allowed to fail, and all you can do is keep your chin up and keep going, then when you least expect it you emerge from this dark never-ending hole, and... you made it! And you can't believe it, and you've changed inside and you're better and stronger and calmer and more fun than you were before you journeyed merrily in2 hell. And as we stepped out into the light, a little bruised and battered, but still ok, we blinked and tried to focus then looked at each other and laughed out loud. Then ¥o-landi said, "Why don't we call the album MOUNT NINJI & DA NICE TIME KID?" And Ninji's shoulders relaxed and he slumped back into his chair and said, "You a fuckin genius! I love you!" - NINJA & YO-LANDI

THE CULT Announce Dates with Guns 'N Roses, Additional Headlining Shows

THE CULT
 
ANNOUNCE DATES WITH GUNS N' ROSES:
ALIVE IN THE HIDDEN CITY: NORTH AMERICA 2016
 
NEW ALBUM HIDDEN CITY RELEASED EARLIER THIS YEAR
COMPLETES ACCLAIMED TRILOGY

THE CULT have announced a wide array of summer tour dates including four upcoming stadium shows with Guns N' Roses, as well as festivals and their own headlining concerts. The iconic band--founding singer Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy along with bassist Grant Fitzpatrick, drummer John Tempesta and keyboardist/rhythm guitarist Damon Fox--is on the road now in support of this year'sHidden City album.
 
Hidden City is their 10th studio album and the final chapter of the band's trilogy of releases which began with 2007's Born Into This then 2012's Choice of Weapon.  The album has already produced three singles: "Hinterland," "Dark Energy" and"Deeply Ordered Chaos."
 
Of the album and its first single, ASTBURY told Billboard.com, "'Hinterland' is a place both real and imagined, a hidden city symbolic of a new Rome. Through the eyes of several witnesses we observe a young woman as she realizes her enlightened self in a dystopian dream world. 'Hinterland' is filled with symbolism, reflecting a new aeon in the shift of human consciousness as we realign with our planet's natural rhythms." 
 
THE CULT continue to evolve and do things in their own style.  Not tethered to the latest hit single or trend. They are a way of life, an ethos. Adventurers more than careerists. As ASTBURY eloquently puts it,  "Our post-modern roots have kept the creative process vibrant, and we continue to evolve."
 
DUFFY says, "Like all Cult albums--since Ian and I began writing together--we try our best to honestly reflect what we are feeling, doing and listening to.  Hidden City is no exception and I'm thrilled to have had a creative part in  such a critically acclaimed--but, more importantly--Cult-fan-acclaimed album. The dialogue between us all continues..."
 
Of the new album, Mojo said it's "Some of the fiercest, nastiest, most powerful - and also starkly beautiful - music of their career...The album's extraordinary howls of pain and anger, its dramatic apocalyptic visions and quiet interrogations of the meaning of life and death, align perfectly with the times."

ALESSI - "Love Travels"



I'd like to share a new song with you a song from the new album 
by ALESSI LAURENT-MARKE, 

'Love is the Currency'.


MYRKUR covers Bathory's "Song To Hall Up High" - new EP 'Mausoleum' out on Relapse Aug 19


MYRKUR: "Song To Hall Up High" (Bathory Cover)

Upcoming EP Recorded in Emanuel Vigeland Mausoleum

Out August 19 on Relapse

  
Photo: Stormvild 

Danish composer Amalie Bruun, better known as MYRKUR, has reimagined Bathory's "Song To Hall Up High". This version was recorded live in the historic Emanuel Vigeland Mausoleum in Oslo, Norway alongside eight other beautifully dramatic and stripped-down acoustic reinventions of songs from her critically-acclaimed, masterful debut full-length M.

Mausoleum was captured in a cold, dimly-lit tomb covered in morbid frescos that depict the circle of human life from conception til death all with the accompaniment of the storied Norwegian Girls Choir and HÃ¥vard (ex-Ulver) on guitar. Mausoleum is an incredible showcase of MYRKUR's sublime yet haunting voice in a truly chilling, unrivaled atmosphere. 

More on MYRKUR: 
From the darkness of Scandinavia emerges MYRKUR. Hailing from Denmark, the one-woman project signed to renowned independent label Relapse Records in 2014 off the strength of just one EP, its eponymous debut (released September 2014). Envisioned and realized by classically-trained multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Amalie Bruun,MYRKUR combined the rawness of second-wave black metal bands like Ulver and Darkthrone with a natural, ethereal sonic beauty. MYRKUR introduced a wholly unique perspective on the genre of black metal--one that immediately put her on the map and caught the attention of listeners and publications worldwide.

Though the word "myrkur" means "darkness" in Icelandic, Bruun's music is far from monochromatic. With its distinct sense of Nordic isolation, MYRKUR's compositions are at once brutal and delicate. Choral and folk elements abound, lending the music a mystical, legendary quality and an untouchable equilibrium between dark and light MYRKUR's influences range from nature to traditional Scandinavian folklore to Norse mythology and far beyond.

That power was more than evident on MYRKUR's debut EP, but fully came into its own on Bruun's first full-length, M, released by Relapse in August 2015. Featuring production and guest appearances from renowned metal legends such as Krystoffer "Garm" Rygg (Ulver), Teloch (Mayhem/Nidingr) and Christopher Amott (Arch Enemy)M showcases Bruun's learned and mature perspective on black metal alongside her prodigious compositional and vocal talents. 

In its 8/10 review, Decibel Magazine characterized M as "a black metal record that respects tradition without drowning in it." Publications including NPR, Stereogum, Pitchfork, Spin and dozens of other outlets worldwide have shared this sentiment, hailing M and MYRKUR as the very thing they stand for - not a drastic reinvention, not an atavistic homage, but a unique, timeless, and true expression of black metal.   

With two acclaimed releases, US and EU tours with Behemoth and Deafheaven, and a number of worldwide festival appearances under her belt, MYRKUR is ready to help her homeland reclaim its role as a global leader in extreme music.
