HEAVEN SHALL BURN have just released a special new single and video, “Keinen Schritt Zurück,” featuring their longtime friends from the renowned German alternative/punk rock band DONOTS. This marks their first new music since they released a cover of Trivium’s “Pillars Of Serpents” at the end of 2022, and the highly successful album Of Truth And Sacrifice, which topped the Official German Album Charts at #1, reached #4 in Austria, and #6 in Switzerland.

This new track is not just a musical collaboration, but also a powerful statement reflecting both bands' commentary on the current political climate. The video, directed by longtime collaborator Philipp Hirsch alongside guitarist and audio producer Alexander Dietz, can be watched HERE.

Drawing inspiration from legendary figures in hard rock and metal, such as Dio, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Queensryche, the band chose the name State of Mind to encapsulate the essence of music as a reflection of emotional states and experiences.

“Our first song in nearly four years. With the intent on coming hard straight out the gates, we stuck to our guns. ‘Flesh Wounds’ … when you hear it, you know it’s Skinlab,” says Steev Esquivel, vocalist and bassist of Skinlab, capturing the raw power of the band’s new material.

The track, produced and mixed by Ulrich Wild (Static-x, Dethklok, Pantera), was co-written by Esquivel himself and brings together the talents of Marcos Medina and Scott Sargeant on guitars, alongside Fabian Vestod on drums. “Flesh Wounds” is a return to Skinlab’s roots, showcasing the driving rhythms, aggressive melodies, and powerful vocals that fans have come to expect.

Ulrich Wild expressed his excitement about this latest collaboration, stating, “I’m thrilled to add Skinlab to our WURMgroup roster. We had a great time creating their previous album, Venomous, so it was an easy decision to work with them again. ‘Flesh Wounds’ is unmistakably Skinlab and a great song to continue where they left off. It’s powerful groove metal you’d expect from a band with eyes trained on the future.”

Upcoming Tour

To celebrate this new chapter, Skinlab is hitting the road with a string of European and North American tour dates. As part of the European leg, Skinlab will share the stage with Pro-Pain, kicking off the tour on November 13 in České Budějovice, CZ. North American fans can catch Skinlab starting in Sacramento, CA on December 12, with additional dates in major cities through early 2025.

Steev Esquivel expressed excitement for the tour and lineup changes, saying, “It’s been a while since our last update, but we’re back with some exciting news! Sadly, Marcos won’t be able to join us this November, but we’re stoked to have Steve Lujan from Sacramento’s Cemetery Legacy and Oscar ‘Wakaras’ Lugo of San Jose’s Way II Stoned on board. Both guitarists have been killing it in rehearsals, and we can’t wait to bring our music to the fans. Bags are packed!”

New guitarist Oscar “Wakaras” Lugo shared his enthusiasm, adding, “I’m really excited to announce that I will be part of this European Tour, playing guitar for Skinlab, one of the bands I looked up to when I was in high school.”

Swedish rock band Greybeards is set to release its latest single, “Holy Ghosts”, on October 25th, 2024.

Blending the influence of bands like Foo Fighters and Biffy Clyro with an emo vibe reminiscent of bands like Saosin, “Holy Ghosts” is a powerful social and political critique inspired by the band’s reaction to the recently approved abortion ban in Poland by an ultra-conservative party. The song captures the oppressive force of old men who resist change from their positions of power, and the hopeful defiance of the oppressed.

The video for “Holy Ghosts” can be found HERE.

Speaking about the song, the band said: “This is our darkest song to date. It’s about oppression, about power over people. But where there is hope there is a way, and we hope this one finds a place in your hearts as it has done in ours.”

Written and produced by the band, the track’s intense vocal delivery and arena rock chorus are bound to captivate fans with their rebellious energy, blending elements of rock and metal to shape an electrifying call to arms. The song was also mixed by Henrik Persson and mastered by Grant Berry.

Formed as a one-gig band in 2012 by four high school friends (Olle, Ingemar, Niklas and Simon) in Gävle, Sweden, the group’s synergy and sound led them to continue playing many different stages that summer, releasing their first demo the next year.

The band has extensively toured across Europe and Asia, but they’ve by far made the most noise in the UK. In context, their previous albums were both spun around the country; the first one in an RV and the second one in a Nightliner.

When talking about their writing process, singer Olle Westlund has previously said “The process of us creating music has always been a living thing for us”, they relay. With a method that is described as “a sort of magic” and “like slow cooking a fine meal”.

Greybeards released their debut album “Longing To Fly” in 2015, followed by “For The Wilder Minds” in 2018. In 2022 they signed with Rexius Records, looking to continue their growth, with the release of upcoming EP “Out Of The Red” on February 14th, 2025.

 


Following on from the success of their latest single, ‘DAMAGE’, Swedish goth rock mob The Dead And Living have returned with a video for their new single. ‘DEMONS TILL I’M DEAD’, which was released on November 1st, comes from their new EP, “DAMAGE”, which is set for release on February 28th, 2025, through Rexius Records.

Speaking about the single, the band have said: "’DEMONS TILL I'M DEAD’ is the most intimate track on the EP, bringing us even closer to home. The worldly and somewhat easy song deals with the usual devastations of being a citizen of Earth. Nothing more, nothing less, with an ounce of nothingness."

The video for ‘DEMONS TILL I’M DEAD’ can be found HERE.

The “DAMAGE” EP brings The Dead And Living up to date and into an unknown future. After ten years of wallowing in 19th-century decadence, the band takes one giant leap into the future and beyond. Vocalist and songwriter Coroner explains: "With this release, we wanted to bring the band and its essence into the contemporary. The sort of space-themed EP makes a lot more sense now than we initially thought it would. The infinite dimensions of space and its vast darkness that has always been there and always will be. It’s not so much a science fiction theme as a modern take on this insane cosmic thing we’re all part of.

One late night, I saw a film called 'A Journey to the End of Time' by Melodysheep on YouTube. The ending quote, leaves you in a lingering state of mind: 'At the end of the universe, nothing happens, and it keeps not happening, forever.' Out of that mental state, the new material started taking shape.”

The tracklisting for the upcoming EP, which is set for release through Rexius Records on February 28th, 2025, is:

1. DAMAGE

2. MAGMA HEART

3. DEMONS TILL I’M DEAD

4. ARMY OF MANKIND

The Dead And Living was founded on a Sunday in Karlstad, Sweden in 2007. Their debut album “DECADANCE” and its follow up “THE LAST MEN STANDING” were both recognised among the best albums of 2010 and 2013 in Close Up Magazine and Sweden Rock Magazine.

During their first decennium, The Dead And Living have toured throughout Scandinavia and Europe, with stops at Sweden Rock Festival, Arvikafestivalen, Peace And Love, and Putte I Parken. The band have also toured in support of Deathstars, Chrome Division and Marky Ramones Blitzkrieg.
 
In 2019 the band’s third full-length-album, “THE AUTHOR’S CURSE”, was financed in less than 24 hours via Kickstarter. Among great reviews and coverage in magazines such as Sweden Rock Magazine, the album held first position by Swedish critics at KRITIKER.SE during the time following the release.
