Grave Digger ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM “FACES OF PAIN”

German heavy metal legends GRAVE DIGGER will release their brand-new studio album “Faces Of Pain” on January 15th, 2027 via Reaper Entertainment!

Following the straightforward old-school approach of their 45th-anniversary album “Bone Collector”, GRAVE DIGGER continue down this path with an album that is energetic, uncompromising and diverse – while unmistakably carrying the band’s signature sound.

Chris Boltendahl comments:

“The time has finally come: With our new album Faces of Pain, we are opening the next furious chapter. This record is filled with an incredible amount of heart, sweat and pure passion.

Faces of Pain shows us at our most diverse in a long time. Grave Digger consistently follow their very own style – a style we have shaped ourselves over the years. The remarkable thing is that we never copy ourselves for a single second, yet every song and every note unmistakably carries the band’s typical, mighty sound. Get ready for a true metal monster!”

FROM AT THE GATES: 

 

Tomas.

Today marks one year since you left us. It still feels unfathomable, and the pain of losing you remains really immense.

The world without you feels like an empty place and we are still learning how to navigate life without you.

You were one of the kindest, most generous, funniest person that we got to know, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to be your friend and to create music together.

We would also like to express our deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to all the fans for your kind words, stories, and photos of Tomas.

Your messages have meant more to us than we can put into words.

Thank you all, and thank you for remembering Tomas, for keeping his memory alive, and for continuing to share his legacy.

Please share any stories or photos in the comments below to make this a day of remembrance.

ED SHEERAN: ALL OF ED SHEERAN'S OPENERS DROP OFF TOUR IN SOLIDARITY WITH MACKLEMORE

 

All of ED SHEERAN's openers  have dropped off the tour in solidarity with  MACKLEMORE..

 

 . However, in the metal scene,you will be hearing from ED SHEERAN as he is due for a collaboration with British, gothic, black metal warriors CRADLE OF FILTH. 

 

After a pretty tame pro Palestinian speech at New Jersey's MET LIFE STADIUM, New England Patriots owner ROBERT KRAFT banned MACKLEMORE from GILLETTE STADIUM (BOSTON) and organized a boycott of other U.S.A.  stadiums..ED SHEERAN was forced to kick  MACKLEMORE off the bill. 

 

ITP V.026 EDITORS NOTE: Sounds like censorship to me. I saw the video for  MACKLEMORE's speech in New Jersey, nothing anti Semitic was said. 

 wow. I don't even listen to hip hop and barely know this artist. He didn't say anything anti Semitic. Unfortunately, post holocaust, Israel has done to Palestinians what the Nazis did to the Jews. It's possible to support Jewish safety and the Palestinian people without supporting terrorism.

I'm disappointed in the leadership in Israel and Palestine. Apartheid needs to end and Israel and Palestine must learn to live together in peace.  

Support of the people of Palestine does not automatically make one antisemitic.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FROM NEW YORK POST: 

 All four acts, including Billie Elish’s brother, have dropped out in solidarity with rapper Macklemore.

 

FROM THE NATION: 

 

Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, friend of Donald Trump, and proud mega-donor to AIPAC, just showed us once again how raw oligarchical power can crush any pretense that our speech is protected by the First Amendment.

Bob Kraft is the person primarily responsible, as he readily admits, for compelling international music superstar Ed Sheeran to drop his opening act, hip-hop artist Macklemore, from his stadium tour. Macklemore’s crime was saying two simple words at a previous tour stop to rapturous cheers: “Free Palestine.” Kraft proceeded to tell Sheeran that if Macklemore stayed on the bill, his sold-out show at Gillette stadium—where the Patriots play and which Kraft owns (and for which he received millions in public money)—would be canceled.

When pop musician Pink wrote on her Instagram that Macklemore’s invocation of “Free Palestine” made her feel “scared ” as a Jewish person, Kraft stepped in and rallied other stadium owning billionaires to make the same threat. As a result, Sheeran threw Macklemore under the bus and removed him from the rest of his tour. Read more from Dave Zirin: https://www.thenation.com/.../macklemore-ed-sheeran.../

DISSIMULATOR: SET TO UNLEASH "ARTIFICE DISSOLVES", POST NEW TRACK "NEON METROPOLIS"

 

 

 

  Canadian technical death metal warriors DISSIMULATOR have posted "NEON METROPOLIS", a track from the bands anticipated new release "ARTIFICE DISSOLVES", due to be unleashed 10/2/2026 via 20 BUCK SPIN... 

 

 

 

DISSIMULATOR, via SPOTIFY, are streaming  the bands anticipated debut release "LOWER FORM RESISTANCE",  unleashed 1/26/2024 via 20 BUCK SPIN. 

 

 FROM DISSIMULATOR:

 

Second single "Neon Metropolis" now available! This track will also appear on our second full-length coming on october 2nd via 20 Buck Spin. Preorder now !

"Neon Metropolis describes a flaneur meandering through a fully automated megacity. The song’s moody chorus and urgent cadence together mimic the feel of a cold and restless environment unfit for human life. This city qua cybernetic hive it is without community; without history; without finality. Those who adapt see themselves reduced to mere utility, while the rest are condemned to haunt the shadows of the system’s forgotten crevices. We hope you enjoy one of the catchier songs the band has put together."
