Canadian Thrash monsters FATALITY announce new album entitled Psychonaut for release on June 28th, 2013 followed by an epic American tour spanning 2 months. To fund their new album, upcoming tour and music video they are looking to raise $10,000 by June 4th through a crowd funding campaign on Indiegogo.com linked to http://fatality.ca. Successfully raising over $3,000 in just one week, fans continue to support the campaign and album through this new initiative.

"Smarter, stronger and musically tighter than ever, FATALITY are now ready to unleash their sophomore album on their adoring public. Entitled Psychonaut, their new record is at once a darker and more mature effort, with more complex arrangements and sophisticated concepts, that still retains their trademark energy and commitment to drunken mayhem. Tracks like “Thoughts Collide” and “Before The Collapse” delve deep into the sodden minds of their creators, bubbling with the strange alchemy of pop culture. Set to be released June 28th, 2013 Psychonaut is an exploration of the inner landscape of the mind, where addled thoughts and horror-polluted dreams are held up to musical scrutiny. Monstrous, ambitious, and sardonically funny as ever, FATALITY are taking their unique sound and boundless energy to the next level." - Natalie Zina Walschots former writer for Hellbound.ca.

New single "Thoughts Collide" has been publicly released for streaming through SoundCloud at: http://snd.sc/11r4AeF

Music video for the new single is being directed by Matthew Chrones Scott of BLEEDINGHEART Productions (bleedingheartproductions.ca) and is set for release this June.

UNCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS Premiere New Track on Invisible Oranges and Brooklyn Vegan

"The perfect spin for a doomed trip to the desert" -Decibel Magazine
 "An easy pick for one of the year's best and most anticipated albums" -The Obelisk
8/10 -SPIN

Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats, one of the most talked about rock bands currently in existence, and an enigma in the international underground scene, are preparing to release their third full length album. Mind Control is set for release on May 14th via Metal Blade Records in North America. Within its blood soaked grooves you will hear shocking tales of bizarre desert ceremonies, religious brainwashing and drug inspired mass slaughter! Fans can order the album and listen to Poison Apple now atmetalblade.com/uncleacid.

As we near closer to the release of Mind Control, the band has released another track from the album.  Today Invisible Oranges and Brooklyn Vegan are hosting an exclusive premiere of the song "Evil Love".  In addition Invisible Oranges has an exclusive interview with Uncle Acid.  Check out the interview and song premiere on Invisible Oranges HERE and the song premiere on Brooklyn Vegan HERE.

NPR is streaming the track "Valley of the Dolls" HERE.

Mind Control is a concept album with a theme that makes the acts and intentions of the likes of Charles Manson and Jim Jones seem like petty crimes. What makes Mind Control scarier than most albums is that it doesn't seem as sinister on the surface as it really is deep down, within the core of its black acid-drenched world of pain and torture.

Imagine the original Alice Cooper band jamming in a cell with early Black Sabbath and the Stooges, whilst sitting on murder charges and you may get a glimpse into their fuzzed up world of exploding tube amps and cymbal smashing mayhem. However, this enticing act of musical manipulation is merely the icing upon a very sick cake.

Recorded at the legendary Chapel Studios over an autumnal full moon using the finest western electrical technology, engineer Jim Spencer(Bert Jansch, Robert Wyatt) has captured perfectly the bands live sound of saturated fuzz, mind-bending riffs and 60′s vocal harmonies.

Finland's ENSIFERUM have spent the past 18 years honing the steel of their folk-infused battle metal auditory attack. Their albums are further bolstered by a live show that has become one of the most entertaining in all of metal. Proof of ENSIFERUM's status as one of the most vital bands in modern metal was made apparent through their headlining slot on this year's Paganfest USA tour. To further spread the band's music to a worldwide audience, ENSIFERUM has forged a deal with Metal Blade Records! The band inked the deal with Metal Blade CEO Brian Slagel during the Paganfest USA tour, and all parties are enthusiastic about new music and new possibilities.

Bassist/backing vocalist Sami Hinkka comments: "We are really looking forward to our co-operation with such a great and legendary label as Metal Blade. The next full length album should be out in early 2015. We have already started working with the new songs and it's obvious that the next album will be another step ahead for Ensiferum. And now that we have united forces with mighty Metal Blade nothing can stop us! The next album is going to be something that will rock the very foundations of folk metal genre.

"We also would like to thank Spinefarm Records for all these 13 years, it's been as blast but now it is time for us to move on and head bravely towards new challenges.

The future looks bright for Sword Bearers!"


ENSIFERUM will be touring throughout Europe and South America this summer as they continue their live campaign in support of their most recent album, Unsung Heroes.
